This vision has given rise to new assessments of student well-being beginning with PISA 2015. The OECD, recognising the problems of PISA 2015, conceptualised a wider student well-being construct in PISA 2018, and attempted to measure ‘students’ feelings’. However, analyses of the OECD’s affective turn reveal major problems remain. Our critique is empirically underpinned by an innovative analytical strategy: comparing PISA 2018 student questionnaire translations across different ‘economies’ that use the same written language (China, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan). Our analyses confirm that the OECD imagines a cultural and context-free world, one in which translation and measurements are simply technical problems to be engineered, rather than deeper ‘problems’ of worldviews that require attunement. To encourage the OECD to recognise these differences in its future assessments, we offer starting points from recent research in cultural psychology.摘要“福祉2030”已成为经合组织教育工作的最新理念。这一理念催生了自PISA 2015起新的学生福祉测评。认识到此项测评中的问题后，经合组织在PISA 2018中提出更宽泛的学生福祉概念，并尝试测量“学生的情感”。然而，对经合组织情感转向的分析表明，主要问题依然存在。我们的批评以一种创新性的分析策略为实证基础，即对使用相同书面语言的不同“经济体”（中国大陆、香港、澳门和台湾）的PISA 2018学生问卷翻译进行比较分析。我们的分析证实，经合组织设想了一个无关文化和语境的世界，其中，翻译和测量仅仅是需要被设计的技术问题，而不是需调整的更深层次的世界观“问题”。为鼓励经合组织在未来的测评中认识到这些差异，我们从文化心理学的最新研究中提供一些启示。KEYWORDS: Well-beingemotioncultureEast AsiaChinaTaiwanHong KongJapanaffect-based pedagogyOECD Learning Compass 2030关键词:: 福祉；情感；文化；东亚；中国；台湾；香港；日本；情感教学法；经合组织学习指南2030 AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to extend thanks to You Yun (East China Normal University) who helped us further understand linguistic nuance in Chinese and contributed to our thinking on these themes.

That is, Other indicates something not fully visible from within a given cultural horizon. This is opposed to rendering the term ‘other’ in non-capitalised form, which would signify a difference within an already known horizon.2 We acknowledge that small differences exist in slang, cultural references, political language, and other domains, but none of these would impact the findings on affect reported here.3 Some readers might wonder if Differential Item Function (DIF) could detect these differences (see Takayama Citation2018). But DIF doesn’t pick up translation issues that are our focus here, and could not be applied to descriptive Likert indices asking students to describe their frequency of being ‘happy’ (always, sometimes, rarely, and never).4 Although recent studies such as Bencharit et al., Citation2018 complicate the picture to some extent, showing changes in r","PeriodicalId":47655,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Education","volume":"25 40","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135391696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Confucianism in multicultural China: ‘official knowledge’ vs marginalised views","authors":"Tianlong Yu, Zhenzhou Zhao","doi":"10.1080/03050068.2023.2273641","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/03050068.2023.2273641","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTIn this study, we discuss the Confucian tradition in today’s multicultural China from two perspectives: that of the mandatory school curriculum, which represents ‘official knowledge’, and that of students from ethnic minority and/or religious backgrounds who are located on the cultural margins in China. The analysis draws on curricular narratives of the Confucian tradition for six major school subjects and semi-structured interviews with a group of university students from non-Han ethnic minority and/or religious backgrounds, whose lived experiences are rarely included in the national curriculum narrative. The analysis suggests that the interpretation of the Confucian tradition is a monopolising and dominant discourse that reinforces the cultural hierarchy between different cultural groups. However, the students appear to regard the Confucian tradition as only one culture and worldview in China, which can benefit from the critical reflexivity of other cultures.在这项研究中，我们从两个角度讨论当今多元文化中国的儒家传统的教育传承问题：其一是代表‘官方知识’的学校课程的解读，以及处在中国文化边缘地带的少数民族和/或有宗教信仰背景的学生的视角。数据来源主要包括六门主要学校科目的教材分析，以及对来自少数民族背景和/或宗教背景的大学生进行的半结构化访谈。已有研究证明他们的生活和文化经历会较少呈现在国家课程的叙述中。课程分析表明官方对儒家传统的阐释呈现出一种文化主导的强势话语，趋向于强化不同文化群体之间的地位差异。而学生们更倾向于把儒家传统解释为中国众多文化及世界观的一种，且认为跨文化的批判性反思会促进其发展。KEYWORDS: ConfucianismConfucian traditionschool curriculumstudent narratives‘official knowledge’nationalismmulticultural education关键词: 儒家传统学校课程学生话语官方知识民族主义多元文化教育 AcknowledgementThe work described in this paper was fully supported by the grants from the Research Grants Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China (Project No. HKIEd 18600315 and 18603820).

The first is the independent subject of history taught in junior and senior secondary school, which has a long history in the PRC’s school curriculum structure. The second curriculum, the integrated subject of history and society, was implemented at the junior secondary level as part of an initiative for developing the integrated curriculum implemented over the past two decades. That subject first originated in 2004 as an experiment by the Chinese Ministry of Education and was then added to the school system nationwide.3 Qian Xuesen (also spelled Tsien Hsue-shen, 1911–2009) was a prominent scientist and is widely regarded as the ‘father of Chinese aerospace’.4 Empress Dowager Feng was the scion of the ruling family of a non-Han (Northern Yan) regime.Additional informationNotes on contributorsTianlong YuTianlong Yu is Professor in the De","PeriodicalId":47655,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Education","volume":"4 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135869562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We estimate the systemic effect of private enrollment share on learning outcomes. Estimates of the systemic effect of private school enrollment capture any competitive effects as well as any differences between public and private schools in raising student outcomes. We use new data from the World Bank on harmonised learning outcomes for mathematics, reading, and science to produce an unbalanced sample of 120 countries from 2000 to 2017. We find that, all else equal, on average, a one percentage point increase in private enrollment is associated with null to at most weakly positive effects on country-level learning outcomes. Countries that increased private school enrollment experience as much or slightly more learning than countries with no change in private school enrollment.","PeriodicalId":47655,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Education","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136211160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We develop a quantitative history of academic staff to understand why the differences in the two HE systems are not as significant in respect to labour market and working conditions. The new data show that connected processes of casualisation, professional segmentation, and sectorial differentiation are used to manage tensions between massification and staff recruitment in both countries, in a context of declining and increasingly unequal distribution of resources, producing inequalities within institutions, as within the profession itself. The reorganisation of the academic workforce during three periods of growth of HE systems under traditional, Fordist and managerial influences has incrementally produced three groups of permanent, casualised, and precarised staff and a dual academic labour market.","PeriodicalId":47655,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Education","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135535407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
