We argue that teacher wellbeing plays a crucial role in teacher quality because quality teachers require optimal functioning and wellbeing to teach well. This study reports on the qualitative element of an exploratory sequential mixed-methods research design investigating Chinese rural teachers’ attitudes towards wellbeing. The results of this study confirmed that remuneration, access to professional development opportunities and social status of rural teachers are behind those of urban teachers in China. However, several rural teachers excelled in the profession, showing a passion for teaching that transformed the lives of rural students. This study discovered a gap in the current research on the wellbeing of rural teachers in China and suggested that policymakers should promote the unique positive aspects of rurality, including teachers’ passion for optimal outcomes for their students, rather than focussing on the negative aspects of rurality.","PeriodicalId":37881,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Chinese Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47203516","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 example, teachers’ wellbeing and optimal functioning have an impact on their ability to teach effectively, teacher retention and their job satisfaction. However, there is a shortage of global research investigating teachers’ wellbeing, especially in rural China. The current study contributes to this shortage through an appreciative inquiry to examine rural teachers’ wellbeing in Jilin Province in rural China. Unlike earlier research, this study focused on the positive elements of rurality that strengthen teachers’ wellbeing. A two-phase exploratory, sequential, mixed-methods design was adopted. This paper reports on quantitative findings of Stage 2 of the study, a latent profile analysis of 1,198 participants’ experiences of wellbeing. The results suggest there are five unique profiles that enable rural Chinese teachers’ wellbeing: thriving, personally driven, surviving, career-driven and languishing. This study undertakes a novel approach of latent profile analysis of teachers’ wellbeing in rural China. These findings have implications for policymakers, initial teacher education programs, and teacher wellbeing interventions.","PeriodicalId":37881,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Chinese Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43891496","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}

This mixed-method study aims to describe the subjective and objective needs of the Mandarin learners in Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS), Malaysia, and to check if these needs correspond with each other. Targetting at 120 learners and two instructors, a questionnaire survey was distributed, and complemented by qualitative data derived from focus group interviews. Result shows that learners’ subjective needs correspond with objective needs for motivational orientation, textbook, and cultural exposure. Statistically insignificant differences were found in the expected skills to learn, lecture-activities ratio, and teaching-learning activities. The study concludes that flexibility, student-centeredness and practicality are elements to look into for course improvement. Future research can explore learners’ needs in mastering writing skill, as well as the needs differences among learners across different levels. The study complements the understanding and knowledge of needs analysis in regard to Mandarin learning outside of China.","PeriodicalId":37881,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Chinese Education","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42549806","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 book makes three main contributions to higher education research. First, it highlights and illustrates the major changes in the context of higher education that affect the academic work today. Second, it provides a thorough and comprehensive analysis of micro-to macro-level changes in the academic profession, covering a wide geographic area including Argentina, Chile, China, Finland, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, United Kingdom, and United States. Third, it is one of only few efforts to cover the perspectives of aging and gender in understanding academics ’ development and management. The book is written as a rigorous academic study, including 29 chapters divided into seven parts. Part I (chapters two to ﬁ ve) reveals major changes in higher education for the development and management of the academic profession, covering changes of political economy, the di-versi ﬁ cation and strati ﬁ cation of higher education, growing emphasis on the third mission of higher education, and shifts from collegial to managerial forms of university leadership. Part II (chapters six to 11) examines boundaries around de ﬁ ning “ academics ” and “ professionals ” and discusses the distinct roles of academics in the changing context of higher education at system and institutional levels. This part draws our attention to the new categories of professionals, new forms of academic work, and new conditions for professionals (e.g.,","PeriodicalId":37881,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Chinese Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45478662","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}
