Saxe and Stollak (1971) studied and examined the relationship between children’s curiosity and the parent-child relationship by using reinforcement, positive feeling, attention, and punitive discipline. The results of behavior observations indicated mothers of curious- high-prosocial boys displayed more positive feelings, fewer restrictions, and less nonattention than mothers of aggressive boys. Mothers of curious-high- prosocial boys also displayed more positive feelings than mothers of low-curious boys. The mother's positive feeling was also correlated with child's attentiveness, manipulation, and offering information. Child's curiosity toward novel stimuli was most highly correlated with the mother's novel curiosity. However, In discussing the results, emphasis will be placed on the reciprocal influence children and parents have on each other.

Mistry and Sood (2015) investigated the perceptions and experiences of male trainees in Early Years (EY). Firstly, the reason for the discussed perceptions (stereotypes, role models, low staff ratio and if men were less caring/nurturing than female teachers) was due to the characteristics of teachers seen as feminine characteristics, along with talks about gender causing people to show signs of silence and fear. It also suggested that lack of understanding on the EY structure results in stereotypical views. It concluded that we need to not only change school policies to attract men to EY, but also understand how the society works and what their views are on gender.

In 2014, Ruzbeh Babaee and Wan Roselezam Bt Wan Yahya discussed the important role of literature in foreign language teaching. They discussed the benefits of four genres of literature used for teaching language. In their conclusion, literature offers students a chance to actively learn the foreign language by activating their perceptions and involving their feelings when they experience the literary text.

Linderbaum and Levy (2010) developed and examined the internal structure of the Feedback Orientation Scale (FOS) to measure four dimensions of feedback orientation: feedback utility, feedback accountability, feedback social awareness and feedback self-efficacy in the organizational setting. The results of studies 1 and 2 reported in Linderbaum and Levy’s (2010) work supported the four-factor or four-dimension solution of the internal structure of the FOS is better than a general-factor/dimension solution.

Ayşe Çiftçi, Mustafa Sami Topçu & Jaimie A. Foulk(2020)used a questionnaire and STEM integrated lesson plans to explore pre-service early childhood teachers’three views on STEM education and their STEM teaching practices.

The first one they expressed is the contributions of STEM education,they think it can improve twenty-first-century skills,such as personal-social development and career development.The second one is suggestions about how to bring STEM education into early childhood education,they come up with three categories: STEM-based activities,interdisciplinary practices and teacher education and curriculum.The third one is why STEM education suitable for early childhood education,they think the STEM education can supports children’s characteristics like thinking and imagining.

Based on their stem teaching practices,some teachers have difficulties in ‘Integrative STEM Inclusion’,‘Multisubject Inclusion’and‘STEM Inclusion’

Dong Jun Zviel-Girshin, R., Luria, A., & Shaham, C. (2020) presents findings regarding the addition of robotics education in kindergarten and elementary school as a tool for enhancing technological thinking, increasing children’s confidence in using technology, developing essential twenty-first century skills and increasing children’s self-confidence. They used with both the qualitative approach and quantitative approach. Data was collected using a mixed-methods approach, incorporating aspects of qualitative and quantitative analysis methods (Creswell 2014). The results of this study provide evidence that participation in RiE in early childhood helps to reduce the gender gap in science and engineering, improves children’s self-efficacy and confidence in the ability to invent new things, reduces beliefs in traditional gender roles and increases positive attitudes about learning technology, science and robotics.

Stella Vosniadou (2020) suggested that Knowledge about learning refers to one’s knowledge about how learning happens, about how learning is influenced by motivational orientations, attributions of success and failure, test anxiety and other negative emotions, and about one’s personal beliefs about their own learning, including beliefs about self-efficacy, motivations and goal. ‘Learning strategies’ refers to the repertoire of cognitive,metacognitive and motivational strategies that learners can employ to deal effectively with learning tasks. Knowledge about learning and a repertoire of efficient learning strategies are important because knowledge is not something that can be transmitted from teachers to students passively. Human brains are not wax tablets or recording devices. On the contrary, learning depends on what students do to learn on the actions they use to process the information they receive effectively.

Keltikangas-Järvinen and Räikköen (1991) suggest that in Type- A behavior individuals experience difficulties in self-regulation at three levels: cognitive deregulation, affective deregulation and behavioral deregulation. So action-emotion style will become a new psychological construct through the integration of certain TABP variables with motivational achievement variables.

Social story is originally designed for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder to understand and learn appropriate social behaviours under a given social situation. Sy and Rabago-Mingoa's study (2018) conducted a research to examine whether social story can be an intervention not only for ASD children, but also children with attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD). The result shows that social story can also apply on ADHD children to reduce the frequency of their challenging behaviours, including shouting the answers when not being called, walking around when sitting is required, throwing temper, jumping off chairs and throwing toys. However, once the social story intervention did not take place, the frequency of the challenging behaviours increase again.

By virtue of having a sibling, children may receive differential treatment from their parents. The author points out that in some conditions, differential treatment is associated with emotional and behavioral problems. The development of this belief also has implications for children's and adolescents' mental health.

It is showed that class teachers in mainland of China play an important role on the moral education as they are the organizers for almost all the issues of the class. They have responsibility to check if the students break the rules on moral issues which include gambling and violence (Zhu & Liu, 2004). But in the fact that some teachers are still now pay more attention on the academic performance than moral education, which may lead some risks and problems. And in reports of Zhu and Liu (2004), there are several suggestions were provided for enhancing the ability and awareness of teachers on undertaking moral education, such as training for teachers, concerning on the needs of social development and some skills for implementing moral class.

With a sample of 289 parents of children with ASD (including fathers and mothers) in China. They found that parents’ perceived social support, parental resilience, and parenting self-efficacy were significantly associated with emotional/behavioral problems in children with ASD. Parental resilience and parenting self-efficacy were found to play a chain-mediating role in the association between perceived social support of parents and emotional/behavioral problems in children with ASD. The study showed that it is crucial to improve parents’ perceived social support, parental resilience, and parenting self-efficacy to reduce emotional/behavioral problems in children with ASD.

Broberg et al. argue that the development of vocational education for women should be linked to wider vocational education and training (VET). A survey and comparison of the development of vocational education and training designated for women in Finland and Sweden over a specific period of time found that women's access to vocational education (e.g. domestic training, nursing, etc.) gave women the opportunity to play an important role in the public sphere, made European societies aware of the great value of women in society, and contributed to women's emancipation and gender equality.

Guardino and Antia (2012) utilized a multiple baseline design to prove the functional relationship between physical modification in classrooms and student’s academic engagement. As illustrated by many other researchers before (Downer, Rimm-Kaufman, & Pianta, 2007; Lane et al., 2007; Paine, Radicchi, Rosellini, Deutchman, & Darch, 1983), the study again confirmed that academic engagement inversely correlated with disruptive behavior (Guardino & Antia, 2012). Besides, it generalized this finding to a population of DHH students, including those combined with various disorders. DHH students with attention deficit are prone to be distracted by overload or disorganized visual stimuli. Thus, many teachers in this study took measures to reduce visual stimuli, for instance, using a black background and providing more personal space. In this research, teachers had a degree of option for the physical modification in the classroom, depending on their teaching style or students’ need. Compared to those designs with compelled change, this research had higher social validity in general settings.

Wong-Ratcliff and Ho (2011) claimed that the integrated education policy for students who have special education needs to being included in the mainstream classroom could not ensure students’ educational and social developmental needs would be addressed. The design and implement of individualized education program (IEP) are the crucial elements to determine whether students with SEN could benefit from the integrated education system.

Ziyin Xiong, Ian Warwick & Sebastien Chalies (2020) believe teachers play a vital role in the well-being and sexual health of young people. Through the research of teacher education plan for pre-service teachers, in the investigation of 30 young teachers, the article reveals the four major limitations that teachers face in sex education and the relationship between them and social and cultural background. In addition, they emphasized the importance of teachers' cross-curricular competence. Finally, society, families and schools should adopt a more positive and sensitive approach to address gender differences in classroom practice.

Kearsley,G.（2002）believes that twenty or thirty years ago, many people resisted online learning because it was different in many ways from traditional classroom instruction. Nowadays，although online learning is being pushed heavily by corporations、universities、and the computer industry，online learning isn't for everybody. The reasons are explained from six perspectives: students, teachers and content and so on. Therefore， for the present, it is important to think critically about whether it makes sense to offer a certain course or program in online form and not to assume that it will work for ever.

Muhamad Sham Bin S. Ai & Peng Shiyong (2015) argues that the cause of communication apprehension might not be necessarily associated with differences in the learning experience, syllabi or even teaching approaches. The characteristics of the high-contextual Chinese culture may be interpretable to this non-difference result. And they put forward that psychological approaches may be more effective to reduce the phenomenon of mute English of Chinese learners and their reticence in English class. By comparing the apprehension among students of different grades and majors, the overall results of this study indicate that most probably it is the cultural factors that caused the communication apprehension of Chinese students while they communicate in English.

Previous reviewers have suggested that women display lower self-confidence than men across almost all achievement situations. The empirical validity of this suggestion is assessed. The literature indicates that although low self-confidence is indeed a frequent and potentially debilitating problem among women, they are not lower in self-confidence than men in all achievement situations. Instead, it is argued that the nature of this sex difference depends upon such situation variables as the specific ability area, the availability of performance feedback, and the emphasis placed upon social comparison or evaluation. It is concluded that future research must more precisely identify the variables that influence women's self-confidence.

In this study, the authors investigate the role of advertising in affecting the extent of bias in the media. When making advertising choices, advertisers evaluate both the size and the composition of the readership of the different outlets. The profile of the readers matters because advertisers want to target readers who are likely to be receptive to their advertising messages. The authors demonstrate that when advertising supplements subscription fees, it may serve as a polarizing or moderating force, contingent on the extent of heterogeneity among advertisers in appealing to readers having different political preferences .

Airasian suggested that the result of the sizing-up assessment would impact the the teacher's cognition to the students and in a return, it would force the student's self-concept in a long term. As a result, teachers would apply a series of adaptions to ensure the sizing-up assessment to be fair and reflect the student's status as much as possible.

(Zhou Hao, Xiong Caiyun, Liu Ye, Yang Yuanyuan, Zhao Weiqing, Cui Yuxia, Luo Wenlong, 2019) Some researchers compared the differences between Chinese assessments and English assessment. They proposed a new Chinese language assessment theory: Chinese language assessment needed include five parts (phonetics, semantics, grammar, pragmatics, characters). (Chen Yunying &Wang Shuquan, 1995) Long Yanlin and Li Huan (2018) analyzed 40 papers from 2008-2018. They found that comprehensive language assessments were few.

Collective rehabilitation training has a synergistic impact on psychological counseling treatment and can increase the psychological counseling effect of anxiety problem patients. It is advised that, in addition to psychiatric therapy and linguistic interchange, rehabilitative training, including collaboration and collective communication, be offered while treating such individuals. As a consequence, patients may relax their mood and body throughout the rehabilitation training process, which has a favorable influence on their mental health and helps to alleviate disease and accelerate recovery.

Implementing STEAM in the Early Childhood Classroom

2. Aim of the study

This study aims to explore impacts of STEAM professional development on preschool. teachers disposition towards STEM content, STEAM professional development on preschool teachers’ self-efficacy regarding planning and implementing STEAM content and the professional development workshop on the rate of STEAM implementation by the teachers in their classrooms.

3. The nature of the participants (e.g., number of the participants, age, gender)

Participants were 50 in-service preschool teachers (90% female) in an urban high-needs area. in the northeastern United States who taught children ages three to five. Fifty percent of the teachers had ten or more years of teaching experience, forty percent had 4-9 years’ experience, with the remaining ten percent having less than four years’ experience.

4. Method used

Identical pre- and post- surveys were given to the teachers, which asked them to rate their level of comfort regarding STEM instruction utilizing a 5-point Likert scale, teacher interview about their current practices with STEAM instruction as well as their comfort levels with planning and delivering STEAM lessons, and the field observation.

5. Major findings

This study showed a statistically significant change in how preschool teachers’ confidence levels positively increased regarding their ability to plan and implement STEAM lessons for their preschoolers as a result of their engagement in the professional development sessions. However, even as the preschool teachers were actively engaged and experienced an increase in their knowledge, skills and dispositions regarding STEAM implementation, they were still reluctant to implement.

In higher education systems throughout the world, the need for diversity and differentiation is recognized. The emergence of new professions, the expanded demands of the labor market, the extended social base from which higher education institutions draw their students, and the development of new disciplines and fields of study, are all drivers of greater diversity. Nonetheless, in many systems the kind of institutional stratification that saw institutions distinguished from each other by clear mission differentiation often determined by the state, has largely been superseded by new forms of differentiation driven by different mechanisms Mentoring is a developmental relationship between a younger, less experienced individual and an older, more experienced person.

This paper argues that the unique historical and cultural environment in Hong Kong hinders, to a certain extent, the empowerment of stakeholders in the reform era. To adjust for this, measures have to be developed by policymakers and practitioners to ensure a more balanced, meaningful, and knowledgeable representation of various stakeholders in school governance. There are five sections in this paper; the first introduces briefly the international trend of decentralization; the second outlines the school-based management and related initiatives that have been introduced in Hong Kong. The third and fourth sections discuss respectively the unique cultural and historical contextual factors that would have influenced the implementation of the initiatives and the impacts on the four main types of stakeholders. A conclusion then follows.

In this article, the central thesis is that higher education's fundamental duty is to cultivate moral and ideological values, which is also a basic requirement of political and ideological curriculum development. It is fundamental to establish morality and cultivate people through the development of education. At the present stage, the curriculum of colleges and universities is to put the value orientation on the teaching and self-cultivation of knowledge.

This paper discusses the ideological and political connotations of the ideological and political course as well as the problems associated with their implementation. The demand for professional quality and ability in teachers because of current teaching materials and College English. The teaching guidelines point out the new goals, new tasks, new paths, new ideas and how in the new era. Teaching college English should include an ideological and political component.

With the development of science and technology, our society is becoming increasingly digital, it has become imperative to develop people’s ability to use, understand and manage resources that are in a digital format.Digital literacy inference students’ study as well, the use of digital devices in the classroom has become common as early as elementary education.As education progresses towards an increasingly digital format, it is paramount to assess the digital literacy of students and their capacity to be proficient in digital environments. Although higher education student population that has wide access to technology, namely computers, internet connection and to mobile devices, there was a significant percentage of students who claimed that they did not have access to a tablet or a smartphone. Despite a variety of students have experienced some type of prior computer training, a relevant percentage of the sample claimed that they have no training at all. Overall, all the students had a positive perception.

The popularity and wide application of online education has changed the landscape of today's education. Teachers need to face the differences between face-to-face classroom environment and virtual classroom environment. The question is whether teachers' self-efficacy changes when they take online classes. Teacher self-efficacy can be described as a measure of a teacher's expectation that he or she is competent and capable of influencing student outcomes. For example, do educators feel empowered to teach using online platforms and materials? At present, most of the tools used in online education to measure teacher self-efficacy are based on internal validation scales of teachers using the delivery mode of face-to-face education(Corry & Stella, 2018).

According to language experts, there are several stages of learning to speak English, the most important of which are the first three (Bloomfield, 1914)(Collier, 1998).

Stage 1: Pre-production

Most students who are just starting to learn a language can only listen, but rarely learn to speak, and can only input, but not output. This is because beginners are not yet able to produce language; they can only memorize some English words and then keep repeating and imitating them.

Stage 2: Early Production

In the second stage, students begin to understand the language they hear and try to acquire more new vocabulary from that language. In this stage, students also begin to try to say memorized phrases and vocabulary, but grammar still has errors.

Stage 3: Speech emergence

At this stage, students have the ability to ask questions and communicate with others using the words and phrases they have learned, but fluency is still not high enough.

So that, students need to understand the context of these languages and continue to develop more learning.

Abstraction:

The article indicated that many policies and processes in higher education overemphasis that feedback is the concept of information transfer, thus most people consider that educators need to take primary responsibility in the feedback and ignores the equally important role of the learner in this stage.However with the development of society,more and more experts are shifting their views of feedback processes.They gradually think the reaction of students in response to feedback information that afford learning and skill development.What is more,the article’s findings indicate that we still need to persuade more educators to know and develop the advantages about the feedback cultures and understand the responsibility of educators and learners in the feedback cultures.

Flipped Classroom Study

The concept of the flipped classroom was proposed by Bergmann and Sams（2012）.They made it easier for students to study and review the learning content by recording lecture video screens and making them available to students, which helped to enhance student learning. Subsequently there have been more and more experiments with flipped classrooms, which require teachers to redesign the learning content by sending it to students in advance as a few-minute learning video, which they watch before class. They then come to the classroom with thoughts and questions, the teacher solves the students' doubts in the classroom and develops their analytical problem-solving skills, the requirement for knowledge comprehension and memorization solved via video.Some of the most successful examples of flipped classrooms are Khan Academy and MOOC, which have added the freedom to adjust the pace of learning, feedback and community learning discussions to further improve learning efficiency. Based on the improved learning outcomes of flipped classrooms, the concept of Seamless flipped learning, or "seamless learning across contexts", has been developed to cultivate students' continuous learning habits and problem-solving skills by extending their learning space from home and school to their everyday environment. Seamless learning based on the flipped classroom model requires teachers to design many independent learning activities before class, such as searching online resources, video production, photos, forum discussions, etc., designing live activities and classroom communication and discussion activities, and finally applying them to real-life situations. There are also many learning strategies to help teachers with lesson design, but there are still many potential issues to be investigated, such as how to increase parental involvement and student autonomy.

Abstract

Teachers return to the classroom for the 2020-2021 school year after experiencing an online classroom as a result of the 2019 pandemic. They are faced with new teaching demands, job expectations and classroom environments. These new demands add to teachers' already full workloads. The current study is one of the first empirical studies to identify factors that contribute to teacher burnout due to COVID-19 (coronavirus disease) and teaching during the fall of 2020. The study found that the main factors of teacher burnout were COVID-19 anxiety, current teaching anxiety, anxiety about communicating with parents, and administrative support. These results are meaningful to school administrators and researchers.

literature review

This study's aims were to evaluate parental attitudes toward print and digital media use with preschoolers as well as parental incentives for doing so. It also sought to determine how differently preschoolers and their parents saw various media. 43 parents were polled, and the children, aged 3 to 5, were questioned. Parents claimed that their child preferred physical books to digital ones and projected that their child will prefer a physical book to a digital one. Print should be used for children's learning, leisure, amusement, and parent-child interaction since, according to parents, it is more informative and enjoyable than digital media. Additionally, parents claimed that when consuming print and digital media together, they employ less facilitative behaviors. Children more frequently pick digital gadgets for most purposes and prefer reading digital books over paper ones. This study reveals how parents and children have different viewpoints on media and suggests that parents may better support their children's use of digital media by giving them more opportunities for interactive co-use of digital media.

This study investigates the connection between parenting practices, social skills, and aggressive conduct in children. For the youngsters in Tainan City's public kindergartens, a questionnaire survey was employed. These are five conclusions. First,public school students in Tainan City exhibit low levels of aggression and have excellent social skills. Democratic and authoritarian parenting approaches are most frequently used. Then,there was no significant relationship between age and aggressiveness, and boys' explicit aggression was higher than females'. Also,aggressive conduct has a somewhat meaningful relationship with self-control abilities, interpersonal abilities, and self-expression abilities. Explicit violence is highly correlated with the democratic, autocratic, and father authority types in mothers. The ability to self-regulate and the capacity for friendship are good indicators of aggressive conduct.

YANG, L., et, al. (2015) has proved that both emotional and social competence significantly predict SEN children’s academic performance after controlling for other social variables. Relationships with peers and teachers also contributed to both emotional and social competence. It is noteworthy that the emotional experiences of SEN students and their perceptions of their own emotional competence may play a key role in their academic functioning. They also underline the need for tailor-made enhancement programs to promote the social, emotional, and academic functioning of SEN students integrated in mainstream classrooms.

Literature Review:
The application of SRL in classrooms includes three areas of research: strategies for reading and writing, cognitive engagement in tasks, and self-assessment.

Teachers can use knowledge about SRL in classroom directly in the following ways. First, encourage students of all ages to benefit from analyses and discussions of strategies for learning.

Second, use more open-ended instructional activities and scaffold assistance and less workbook exercises for student inquiry to help students find more effective approaches to learning.

Third, minimize objective tests and competitive test scores and maximize self-assessment to help students regulate their actions to desired outcomes.

Parents may adopt different parenting practices in different cultural contexts, which may have different effects on children's psychological, emotional, and social development, and cultural differences are important in explaining the effects of parenting styles. Locus of control is a personality factor that appears to be strongly associated with future educational and occupational success; locus of control is defined as a tendency to be more externally or internally oriented, which may affect various aspects of adolescent adjustment and subjective well-being, and factors such as consistency of parental discipline and level of parental education may influence the development of adolescent locus of control orientation.

Two parenting characteristics that are associated with child developmental outcomes are parental warmth and parental control. When warmth and control are combined, four typical parenting styles (authoritative, authoritarian, conniving, neglectful, or nonparticipatory) result. Parenting styles should be assessed within the sociocultural context of the parent-child relationship because cultural norms influence the development of parents' beliefs about their children

The present study focused on the contribution of fathers' parenting style. Based on existing research, a standardized instrument self-report was used to collect the required data from 382 Malaysian adolescents with a mean age of 14.27 years to examine the moderating effects of fathers' educational attainment and parenting style on adolescents' perceived relationship between parenting style and locus of control in the context of Malaysian collectivist culture. The effect of father's education and parenting style on the relationship between parenting style and locus of control perceived by adolescents in a Malaysian collectivist culture was examined. The data collected through the three scales were analyzed and regression analyses were conducted to conclude that more perceived authoritarian parenting styles were associated with more internal locus of control among adolescents in Malaysia and that adolescents with authoritarian fathers and higher levels of education tended to have higher levels of internal locus of control.

Mini Literature Review:
In this meta-analysis study, the development of research on child social skills has been summarized and outlined in detail.

First of all, this study contains a comprehensive meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the effects of this type of intervention. The research team used 130 eligible RCT comparisons between a program and control group to ensure the interventions were based on a cognitive-behavioral approach. After the experiment, the author found that more long-term evaluations, replications, booster approaches, and combinations with other types of interventions are necessary to ensure a substantial impact on antisocial development.

Secondly, in educational practice, social skill training not only focuses on behavioral skills but also pay attention to social-cognitive and social-emotion skills. Children could promote their social and social-cognitive competencies and prevent externalizing or internalizing behavior problems through the training.

Thirdly, the research team set a range of eligibility criteria and search strategies for this study to ensure the accuracy of the experiment. After the coding procedures and statistical analyses, researchers found that differential effects for different antisocial behavior outcomes: aggressive behavior, delinquent behavior, oppositional-disruptive behavior ,and generally antisocial behavior.

According to the above experiment, we could conclude that some of these studies contained combined child and family-oriented approaches, but none for targeted child social skills training alone. The results on different control conditions revealing no differences between “treated” and “nontreated” control groups also confirm this view.

Although this review still has some limitations, it shows the conclusion that more long-term evaluations, replications, booster approaches, and combinations with other types of interventions are necessary to ensure a substantial impact on child social skills in kindergarten.

Beginning in the spring of 2020, the epidemic has had a tremendous impact on education globally.
The researchers（Kush et al., 2021）surveyed 135,488 U.S. teachers (pK-12), 427,117 healthcare workers, 351,632 office workers and 1,861,737 other industry workers on mental health issues during the epidemic across three dimensions Depressive symptoms, Anxiety symptoms and Feelings of Isolation. The final results showed that teachers had the highest levels of anxiety symptoms (24%) among all professions, far exceeding those of any other professions. While the level of teachers’depression symptoms (12%) was similar to the other, and the level of teachers’ feelings of isolation was the second (18%) ,3% lower than other industry workers. This shows that teachers have significant mental health problems in the epidemic environment. Also, experts（Kush et al., 2021） found that the adoption of distance learning or individuals teaching in-person in the epidemic also represents differences in mental health outcomes. Teachers' anxiety symptom levels did not differ significantly between the two educational approaches, however, the symptom level of depression was higher in remote modalities (over 0.105) than in-person (approximately 0.050) and the symptom level of feeling (about 0.205) was much bigger than in-person (around 0.075).Thus, it is evident that distance education had a negative impact on teachers' mental health .

Some scholars integrate the relationship between teachers' personal traits, professional identity and job involvement in previous relevant studies through quantitative research methods. They explain that the personal traits of teachers affects the internal motivation of teachers' teaching. Being appreciated by superiors can effectively improve their self-satisfaction, so as to improve their sense of professional identity and job involvement. The purpose of their study is to clarify the causes and importance of teacher professional identity in order to cultivate active and positive teachers by designing effective strategies.(Yu, W et al.,2021)

What student doesn't want to hear that he's better than his peers? The authors conducted the study to show the effect of social comparison and mastery praise on children's intrinsic motivation.
According to the research, social comparison can bring some positive feedback to children, but it has some negative effects. For example, long-term social comparison praise can make children unable to cope well with others' excellent performance. Because competition itself can make children feel stressed and under external control. Therefore, emphasizing that the goal of individual task mastery is adaptive, while emphasizing that the goal of interpersonal comparison is maladaptive, mastery praise may be more conducive to promoting intrinsic motivation than social comparison praise. The authors looked at the topic twice, adding to previous studies, and found that using social comparison praise is risky when there is uncertainty about a child's future achievement. The child may doubt his abilities in such an environment. Therefore, we should put praise on the ability and skills of children themselves, master praise is more suitable for improving children's learning motivation.

Van der Doef, M. and others surveyed 454 vocational secondary school teachers and showed that role ambiguity, student aggression, and work intensity were significantly and negatively related to occupational well-being, while teacher training was significantly and positively related to occupational well-being significant positive correlation (Van der Doef, M.,2002).Canadian scholar Gurm, B. K. and others conducted a survey with 450 teachers and teaching assistants at the University College of Queensland, and the respondents generally believed that they were working in an environment that promoted their continuous improvement, had humanistic feelings and sufficient autonomy, and therefore the overall occupational well-being index of staff at this college was high(Gurm, B. K.,2004).Holmes, E. studied the explicit and implicit factors affecting occupational well-being from the perspective of occupational stress of teachers, and pointed out that teachers with high autonomy have higher occupational satisfaction(Holmes, E.,2005).

However, there are certain limitations in the current research. Researchers have focused their attention on the measurement of teachers' professional well-being and the factors influencing teachers' professional well-being, and the research content is more concentrated; the research objects also focus on primary and secondary school teachers, and the attention to the professional well-being of college teachers, especially private college teachers, has yet to be improved. In addition, existing research mainly explores the influence of demographic variables on teachers' happiness, while the internal and external factors affecting teachers' happiness have not been explored comprehensively and deeply. Happiness is a subjective and positive emotional experience, and it is difficult to study teachers' professional well-being by using quantitative methods only, and its intrinsic characteristics and special nature determine the appropriateness of case studies.

A major issue in research on childhood and respect for children’s participation rights is the choice of research topic and research questions. The nature of the topic is important to children as participants, for example, whether the topic is meaningful and engaging to them, and whether important aspects of children’s experience are the objects of research.The choice of research topic is in itself an indicator of how researchers construct childhood. Ethical research with children should ask questions that are worth asking and use research methods which answer them effectively (Alderson 1995, cited by Thomas and OKane1998). Curiosity or the desire to know is not sufficient justification for research with children(or families), according to Munford and Saunders (2001). They argue that it is incumbent on researchers to show that the research has the potential to enhance the well-being of participants. On the other hand research projects of high quality can be borne out of simple curiosity. Nevertheless when funding for research is highly competitive, the potential enhancement of the well-being of children, in my view, ought to give such research higher priority.

Mindfulness is using a non-judgmental attitude to focus on the present moment (Kabat-Zinn, 2003). Its function and aim are different from that of relaxation (Dimidjian & Linehan, 2003). Instead of purely relieving pressure, mindfulness is aim at helping the participant to having an enhanced awareness of the present moment.

And, mindfulness can be achieved via a lot of ways, from mindful eating to mindful walking (Dimidjian & Linehan, 2003).

Research interest (s)：Self-efficacy, Internet addiction

1. Title of the article: Internet Addiction and Perceived Self-Efficacy Among University Students
2. Aim of the study：The current study was designed to investigate the relationship between levels of addictive patterns of internet usage (as related to social media) and perceived self-efficacy among university-aged students in Palestine (a country with some of the highest levels of internet addiction).
3.The nature of the participants (e.g. number of the participants, age, gender): Five hundred five students participated, including 270 males and 235 females between the ages of 18 and 24 (M = 20.59, SD = 2.13). 23.5% of the participants were freshman, 22.8% sophomores, 16.7% juniors, 19.6% seniors, and the remainders were in their fifth year or beyond.
4.Method used: Data were collected by filling out questionnaires. The Internet Addiction Test (IAT), created by Kimberly Young (2012), was used to measure the level of addictive internet behaviors. The perceived self-efficacy test, developed by Abu Ghazal and Alawneh (2010), was used to measure the level of perceived self-efficacy.

5.Major findings: Results indicated a high negative relationship between excessive internet use/addictive patterns of use and perceived self-efficacy. Findings conversely showed no significant differences in internet addiction and perceived self-efficacy dependent on area of study, gender, age or academic level.

In the field of teaching and learning, motivation is constantly linked to psychological, emotional, and cognitive variables; thus, Davis, Winsler and Middleton (2006) emphasize that the importance of motivating students rests in how much they can gain from the assignment, rather than simply participating in the activity.

Since student engagement is one of the main factors of successful learning, but how to improve students’ engagement is really an arduous work. Based on the social cognitive study and the current study, a career/education plan can help student make connections between study in school and later life, but there is scant research regarding a direct empirical connection between completing a plan and engagement.

The author tried to find whether a career/education plan can help students improve their engagements and explored the direct relationship through two-level propensity score matching analyses using data from high school longitudinal study of 2009. And the final analytic model provides the evidence that student career/education plans can indeed have an impact on student engagement.

But there are still some limitations like to know exactly what entails a plan, how different types of plans may predict engagement differently. The role of career/education plan completion deserves further consideration and exploration.

This article discusses the impact of short-term study abroad on students, who find short-term study abroad experience valuable and beneficial.

Despite the extensive research on long-term study abroad programs, few studies have been conducted on study abroad and its relationship with career aspirations and leadership, and even fewer studies pertaining to the impacts of short-term study abroad programs. To understand more about this growing field, a survey was developed to look at the impact study abroad leaves on a student, specifically assessing the impacts that both long-term and short-term programs have on students’ leadership skills and career aspirations. The results of the regression model indicate that study abroad experience has a statistically significant, positive relationship with leadership experience and career aspirations. This paper begins with a review of short-term study abroad literature. The methodology and results are discussed, followed by the limitations and implications of this research.

Based on three waves of the role of career adaptability in Chinese university graduates' job search process, this study found the following results.

The four dimensions of career adaptability have a positive effect on various factors of college students' job search.

After removing other effects, career focus and career control had the strongest positive effects on job search self-efficacy.

The use of various models supported that career fit had a significant effect on employment status and P-E fit through job search self-efficacy.

In the traditional view, mothers tend to take more responsibility for their children's physical and mental growth and academic achievement, and the involvement of fathers is often overlooked. However, a growing number of scholars now suggest that fathers, as important members of the family, have unique educational styles and behavioural patterns that can have a significant impact on children's academic achievement. Using a meta-analytical approach, the authors synthesise a variety of studies on different aspects of fathers' involvement in children's learning and provide a general measure of the effects of father involvement. This study ultimately proposes that father involvement has a positive impact on children's academic achievement. In addition to academic achievement, children with a high level of father involvement have greater self-confidence and responsibility, as well as a greater ability to work with others. These skills will help the child to make more progress and achieve more academically.

1) The paper mentioned that academic stress is the pressure and anxiety related to education and academic fields. College students are found to be the main academic stressors, and main reasons why they feel academic stress is increased workload, low marks, language problem, procrastination, examinations, etc. In addition, the paper indicated that the impact of gender on stress is contradictory. Existing studies have pointed out that there are differences in males and females’ perception about stress, while some believe no differences. Academic stress will affect students' academic performance, such as learning ability, memory, academic achievement, even, many students may commit suicide because of uncontrollable academic stress.

2) Hence, Mishra (2017) aimed to study the difference in academic stress level of male and female college students, and the impact of academic stress on students academic achievement. Mishra used random sampling to select 150 undergraduates studying in Santkabirnagar districts as participants, aged from 18 to 22, including 75 males and females, and the students were divided into two groups - low achiever group (less than 55% marks in last exams) and high achiever group (55% or more scoring). Mishra used academic stress scale, academic achievement marks scored in the last exam as instruments for research (Methods).

3) After data collection, using descriptive analysis and t-test, two major findings were obtained: a) Male students had more academically stress than female students; b) Academic stress negatively influenced level of academic achievement of college students.

4) This study is conducive to teachers, parents and educational institutions to better understand the college students’ stress, help reduce students' stress level, and improve their academic achievements.

Literature Review

The paper investigated how well parents' opinions of kindergartens (KG) fit the aims of Hong Kong's Holistic Early Childhood Education (HECE). Written responses to the questionnaire were obtained from 1383 parents and 165 instructors, including principals from 22 kindergartens in three districts of Hong Kong. The study's major findings used a quantitative method to reveal that parents' and teachers' views of kindergartens were consistent with HK's HECE policy for young children's development and practice in kindergarten programs.

The first finding of this study is the parents' present perception of early childhood education in Hong Kong. Second, it demonstrates how crucial Hong Kong parents are to their kids' growth and development. Thirdly, it also shows how consistent parents' and teachers' opinions are on common features of early childhood education.

This essay purpose to explore and analyse opportunities for and impediments to cooperation around digital competence among three groups: preschool teacher students, local teacher educators, and teacher educators at a university.

The authors invite five preschool teacher students, five local teacher educators, and five teacher educators from the university participated to gather as focus groups to communicate obstacles and possibilities for cooperation.

After analysis the discussions the author find out:

1.The results show an uneven supply of digital tools in preschool, and it is possible to assume that this is the case in many Swedish preschools today—a picture of an ongoing digitalization process. students and local teacher educators mention that there are preschools that have a good supply of digital tools but that for some reason do not use them.

2.The students claim that the attitudes of the preschool teachers present the greatest obstacle to working with digital resources, and in conjunction with this, the students have experienced uncertainty, a lack of interest, and a lack of relevant competence among preschool teachers.

3.teachers use their power and agency to design professional learning opportunities for the students, creating an opportunity for a mutual pedagogical vision is important.

4.The students want to develop a greater understanding for how digitalization can be applied in preschool. The local teacher educators want more developed forms of cooperation for the work with digital resources in the field to be more tangible for the students.

Article Title

Preservice teachers’ resilience during times of COVID-19

1) Social Background

COVID-19 pandemic

2)Research Issue

What are PSTs’ perceptions of their resilience, resources and coping strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic?
How are Dutch PSTs’ personal and contextual resources and coping strategies related to dealing with the challenges they face during the COVID-19 pandemic?
What ware PSTs’ experiences in relation to the quality of their teacher education programme and their own learning and teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic?

3)Research Method

Quantitative method & Qualitative method

The research examine resilience, resources and coping strategies both quantitatively and qualitatively. We focused on the key factors that might enhance resilience specified by Mansfield et al. (Citation2016): personal resources, contextual resources, and coping strategies. Furthermore, we added questions on the COVID-19 pandemic.The open questions were analysed by using a content-analysis approach, where we focused on describing PSTs’ resilience and factors that influence their resilience.

4)Research Result

PSTs showed lower scores on resilience and personal resources, comparable scores on contextual resources, and higher on coping strategies. A regression analysis showed that all factors except for self-efficacy were related to resilience. The open answers revealed different aspects influenced by the pandemic, such as conditions for teaching at school, interaction with pupils, study progress, support from supervisors in their school and the teacher education institute, and social support received from important others, such as family and friends. Furthermore, factors were mentioned that influenced PSTs resilience in both enhancing and diminishing ways.

IV：

From parents‘ perspective，non-encouraging can make children avoid self-proud and be humble about their own achievements.
Strictness to children can enhance children's endurance and resilience.
Parents themselves have been educated in this way, and they think it's okay.
The competitive pressure of society is great.

DV：

Parents see strict 、stressful and derogatory parenting as loving and responsible act for their children.
