The researchers offer hypotheses to shed light on the interrelationships among critical components of social capital theory and knowledge acquisition towards the enhancement of entrepreneurial learning. The study also highlights the role of trust as a moderator which links the other aspects of social capital with knowledge acquisition. The hypotheses were tested using data collected from online groups based on the motive of entrepreneurial culture and student learning. The study findings identified a significant positive relationships between social interaction and knowledge acquisition, between shared vision and knowledge acquisition, and also between knowledge acquisition and entrepreneurial learning, confirming our hypothesis that social capital affects knowledge acquisition and its practice al application to student learning. Furthermore, trust as a moderator diminished the positive relationships between social interaction and knowledge acquisition and also between shared vision and knowledge acquisition. With the emerging use of Web-based technologies, this research can be valuable to explain how different facets of online social capital can foster learning effectiveness for young entrepreneurs in multiple social settings. The findings also provide significant implications for organizations and social networks to better understand the aspects of trust repair which could be helpful to enhance collective learning.","PeriodicalId":159185,"journal":{"name":"US-China education review","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128152118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. The total population for the study was made up of all the teachers due for retirement in the 2017 academic year in the Yilo-Krobo Municipality in the Eastern Region of Ghana. The estimated population for the study was 200 retirees. Simple random sampling was used in sampling 70 teachers enlisted for retirement in the Yilo-Krobo Municipality. A questionnaire was used in gathering data. Data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. It emerged from the study that the sources of pre-retirement anxiety are inadequate fund, managing mental health, managing a new and lower social status, inadequate planning for retirement, and difficulty in time management. The study revealed that the challenges faced by respondents are related to inadequate financial preparation, retirement contributing to faster ageing, retirement leading to early death, retirement contributing to loneliness, and contributing to friends upon retirement. The study showed that there are no retirement counselling services available in the Yilo-Krobo Municipality. The study further revealed that there was a negative correlation between social support and pre-retirement anxiety. The study therefore recommends that the Yilo-Krobo Municipal educational directorate and the Municipal Social Security Insurance Office should collaboratively work with the various counsellors in the Municipality to fully assist teachers for adequately plan financially, make arrangement for accommodations, the educational directorate, and the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) should make retirement processes less bureaucratic and costly. Counsellors should educate teachers on ageing and life after retirement to improve their level of adjustment.","PeriodicalId":159185,"journal":{"name":"US-China education review","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132392098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this purpose, the researcher conducted semi-structured interviews with four Chinese EFL learners who are studying in the UK with different English proficiencies, analysed their strategies of oral English learning and communication, and compared changes in strategies during one year of studying abroad. It showed that, when confronted with difficulties in oral English learning, participants usually employed affective strategies to adapt to the new learning environment. And learners from different levels have different performances in meta-cognitive learning strategies use. In addition, the English speaking context made some differences to learners’ learning. When it comes to CSs, on the one hand, strategies, such as negotiation for meaning, and so on, were shown as being primarily used by participants, even though participants from different levels might have some differences to some extent. On the other hand, strategies like less active listener, and so on, were relatively less employed by participants. These results would probably help learners and teachers understand oral English learning and teaching in native contexts better.","PeriodicalId":159185,"journal":{"name":"US-China education review","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123308875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through well-planned programs, adult education policies can be implemented, organizational goals can be realized, learners’ behaviors can be positively altered, and their abilities enhanced. It is worth emphasizing that traditional models of program planning applying linear paths do not explain a multitude of situations that occur in reality. This is largely due to the fact that linear models generally ignore the role and influence of political factors in the program planning processes. Centered on the perspective of power and interest negotiation in program planning and utilizing a case study approach, this study investigated and analyzed the program planning processes of a Ph.D. Cohort program in an American university in Taiwan. In addition to transforming the power and interest negotiation perspective into a diagram to interpret the case, four new discoveries were made. Firstly, interests should be further divided into tangible and intangible interests. Secondly, timing was found to be an additional factor that influences various stakeholders in the program planning process. Thirdly, stakeholders of “invisible” intangible interests may influence the program-planning process. Finally, the degree of power was determined to be the major impact factor in the program planning process.","PeriodicalId":159185,"journal":{"name":"US-China education review","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114850896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
