Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop a leadership competency model to enhance Chinese vocabulary teaching at Confucius Institutes in Kenya. The objectives of this study were: 1) to explore the factors affecting the leadership competency of teachers; 2) to determine the levels of leadership competency of Chinese vocabulary teachers in Kenya; 3) to test the practical effect of sound change law in Chinese vocabulary teaching; and 4) to develop and verify a leadership model to improve the teaching effect of Chinese vocabulary at Confucius Institutes in Kenya. There were 308 students from the Confucius Institutes at the University of Nairobi and Kenyatta University who participated in the study. The data was analyzed through content analysis, descriptive statistics, and a paired samples t-test. The results of the survey showed that the supportive leadership approach (M = 4.32, SD = 0.46) was the style mainly used by Chinese language teachers. The results of the paired samples t-test indicated that the Chinese vocabulary test scores of thirty students after they received instruction on the sound change law was significantly higher than before they received instruction on the sound change law. The results of the paired samples t-test of competency indicated that the score of five expert teachers after they received leadership competency training was significantly higher than before they received the training. Therefore, the effectiveness of Chinese vocabulary teaching at the Confucius Institutes in Kenya can be enhanced by improving the leadership competency of teachers.
开发领导能力模型以提高肯尼亚孔子学院的汉语词汇教学水平
本研究旨在开发领导能力模型,以提高肯尼亚孔子学院的汉语词汇教学水平。本研究的目标是1)探讨影响教师领导能力的因素;2)确定肯尼亚汉语词汇教师的领导能力水平;3)检验声变法在汉语词汇教学中的实际效果;4)开发并验证提高肯尼亚孔子学院汉语词汇教学效果的领导力模型。来自内罗毕大学和肯雅塔大学孔子学院的308名学生参与了研究。研究通过内容分析、描述性统计和配对样本t检验对数据进行了分析。调查结果显示,支持型领导方式(M = 4.32,SD = 0.46)是中文教师主要采用的领导方式。配对样本 t 检验结果表明,30 名学生在接受变音法教学后的汉语词汇测试成绩明显高于接受变音法教学前。能力的配对样本 t 检验结果表明,五位专家教师接受领导能力培训后的得分明显高于接受培训前。因此,可以通过提高教师的领导能力来提高肯尼亚孔子学院汉语词汇教学的效果。
