This research project included an experiment conducted to determine the effectiveness of various theories of ideology in China’s education sector. As the experiment’s findings suggest, traditional Confucianism was identified as the most productive ideology (51.2%). The research findings may be used in the study of various ideologies, such as liberalism and neoliberalism, socialism, feminism, communism and social democracy, applicable to existing systems of ideological culture education in the globalization settings (within the context of pedagogical and psychotherapeutic activities, as well as in order to improve methods of teaching general subjects and education levels among students).","PeriodicalId":51688,"journal":{"name":"Culture and Education","volume":"10 1","pages":"774 - 815"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86583178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The developed course was delivered to the experimental group. The Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire was used to collect data. Improvements in the experimental group’s social adjustment indicators, derived in the course of statistical analysis of data, suggest the effectiveness of the methods used. Experimental validity of the effectiveness reveals the prospects for further research and implementation of the technology in the universities’ educational systems. The obtained data and coordination of conclusions with available research stipulate the need to study the issue of creation of unified competence and online training of instructors for a multicultural education system.

Second, what about emotion? Third, what does love have to do with sex? To answer, we analyse some telling classroom anecdotes, seek a synthesis of Spinoza’s monism with Vygotsky’s materialist version of Soviet ‘sexual enlightenment’ and undertake a linguistic analysis of recent sex education material in South Korea.

Findings from one family were reported here to better analyse the differences in a child’s perezhivanie when he kept doing the same play. The child’s re-living in play indicated the changes in his dramatic imaginative actions (defined as a child’s perezhivanie and methodologically, which means the unit of the child’s consciousness in play) wherein how the child continually reorganized his imaginary formations could be refracted. We argue that the changes of a child’s perezhivanie around the same event are meaningful as foregrounding to better understand their refraction process.

Although research recognizes the importance of context and experience in shaping pre-service teachers’ dispositions, the relationship between them and dispositions needs to be conceptualized and elucidated. This paper draws on Vygotsky’s concept of perezhivanie to develop an integrative framework for analysing the development of teachers’ dispositions within social situations. It illustrates the value of this framework by showing how pre-service teachers’ dispositions have been changing in relation to different contexts of practical teaching experience. Data included individual interviews, reflection journals and teaching resources from 11 pre-service teachers during two practicums. The detailed cases of two pre-service teachers are used to illustrate how the main elements of their dispositions — sensitivity, agency and inclination — are mediated by their perezhivanie and interact with each other and specific social situations.","PeriodicalId":51688,"journal":{"name":"Culture and Education","volume":"87 1","pages":"342 - 383"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81279918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
