AN EMPIRICAL STUDY ON MEDIATED MULTI-ROUTES TR MODEL BASED ON SC PLATFORM

With the new era of intellectual economic, intellectual capital became the critical components of wealth creation. Core employees with higher organizational performance characteristics are often entitled Talent for their key networking status in creating the organizational intelligent capital values. They can also be competed hotly by other competitor in human capitall market. In the field of talents’ retention (TC), the empirical study of relationship-oriented between talents’ performance and voluntary turnover by modeling is taking lead way in highlighting the talents’ turnover mechanism. This paper, after survey in the cross- industries samples, developed talents’ performance characters- withdraw tendency model by introducing social capital (SC) construction and way of combination of the literature methodology and the empirical study.Talent retention, Social capital, Performance character, Withdraw tendency

Research on the Impact of Vocational Education on Total Factor Productivity and Mediating Effects

As an important type of education for cultivating high-quality technical and skilled talents, vocational education provides significant human capital support for the high-quality development of the economy. Based on panel data from 30 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) in China from 2005 to 2020, this study employs the Malmquist productivity index to measure Total Factor Productivity (TFP). Using a two-way fixed effects and mediation effects model, the study empirically analyzes the impact and mechanisms of vocational education on TFP. The results show that the expansion of higher vocational education has a more significant effect on TFP growth compared to secondary vocational education, with a particularly pronounced influence in the eastern and western regions. The analysis of the mediating mechanisms reveals that human capital and technological innovation are important pathways through which vocational education promotes TFP growth. Therefore, to achieve high-quality development of vocational education and enhance TFP growth, it is recommended to moderately expand the scale, improve the vocational education training system, increase support for vocational education to narrow regional disparities, promote the integration of vocational education with industry to enhance the conversion rate of technological innovation, shift the focus from scale expansion to internal improvement, and promote regional coordinated development

Gone for Good? Determinants of School Dropout in Southern Italy

The aim of the present paper is to gain some insight into the causes of dropping out of school and, more generally, of the factors that induce parents to review their choices about their child’s schooling careers. To this end we apply to data from a school dropout survey insights from a model of sequential decision making by parents, where the initial decision can be reviewed in the light of new information emerging about the ability and opportunities of the child in benefitting from education relative to her outside (in the unskilled market). Analysis of the data confirms the role of both economic capacity (opportunity costs) and cultural capacity (ability to disentangle signals about future opportunities) of the family of origin shape observed choices about drop-out and return to school by individuals in our sample. Dropping out behaviour also appears to be strongly influenced by mismatches between school and student, however, and many of those who leave are not “gone for good”.human capital, school dropout, young people

Trialing project-based learning in a new EAP ESP course: A collaborative reflective practice of three college English teachers

Currently in many Chinese universities, the traditional College English course is facing the risk of being ‘marginalized’, replaced or even removed, and many hours previously allocated to the course are now being taken by EAP or ESP. At X University in northern China, a curriculum reform as such is taking place, as a result of which a new course has been created called ‘xue ke’ English. Despite the fact that ‘xue ke’ means subject literally, the course designer has made it clear that subject content is not the target, nor is the course the same as EAP or ESP. This curriculum initiative, while possibly having been justified with a rationale of some kind (e.g. to meet with changing social and/or academic needs of students and/or institutions), this is posing a great challenge for, as well as considerable pressure on, a number of College English teachers who have taught this single course for almost their entire teaching career. In such a context, three teachers formed a peer support group in Semester One this year, to work collaboratively co-tackling the challenge, and they chose Project-Based Learning (PBL) for the new course. This presentation will report on the implementation of this project, including the overall designing, operational procedure, and the teachers’ reflections. Based on discussion, pre-agreement was reached on the purpose and manner of collaboration as offering peer support for more effective teaching and learning and fulfilling and pleasant professional development. A WeChat group was set up as the chief platform for messaging, idea-sharing, and resource-exchanging. Physical meetings were supplementary, with sound agenda but flexible time, and venues. Mosoteach cloud class (lan mo yun ban ke) was established as a tool for virtual learning, employed both in and after class. Discussions were held at the beginning of the semester which determined only brief outlines for PBL implementation and allowed space for everyone to autonomously explore in their own way. Constant further discussions followed, which generated a great deal of opportunities for peer learning and lesson plan modifications. A reflective journal, in a greater or lesser detailed manner, was also kept by each teacher to record the journey of the collaboration. At the end of the semester, it was commonly recognized that, although challenges existed, the collaboration was overall a success and they were all willing to continue with it and endeavor to refine it to be a more professional and productive approach

Gone for Good? Determinants of School Dropout in Southern Italy

Dropping out of school has recently become an issue of major policy concern in Italy. A series of reforms of secondary school objectives, programmes and organizational design have been proposed to adapt the public school system to evolutions in the labour market and to increase overall educational attainment. The aim of the present paper is to gain some insight into the causes of dropping out of school and, more generally, of the factors that induce parents to review their choices about their childâÃÂÃÂs schooling careers. To this end we make use of data from the âÃÂÃÂschool dropout surveyâÃÂàundertaken in Salerno Province by the Centre for Labour Economics and Economic Policy (CELPE). The survey collected a range of information on adolescent young people and their families over the period 2004-06. The paper proposes a model of sequential decision making by parents where the decision can be reviewed in the light of new information emerging about the ability and opportunities of the child in profiting from education relative to her outside (in the unskilled market). The model allows interpretation of such dropout and return behaviour and emphasises the separate role of economic capacity (opportunity costs) and cultural capacity (ability to disentangle signals about future opportunities) for equilibrium decision making. Analysis of the data confirms the role of both economic and cultural capacity of the family of origin in shaping observed choices about drop-out and return to school by individuals in our sample. Interestingly we find that whilst poor performance at, and low attachment to, school âÃÂàmeasured by repetition of the school year through end of year failure and attendance records - is a key determinant of initial dropping out, the former does not seem to affect subsequent return to education. An important implication of the results presented here are that, in addition to the factors explicitly identified in the theoretical framework, dropping out behaviour is appears to be strongly influenced by mismatches between school and student. The answer to the question in the title of this paper, interpreted in its normative sense, therefore is no: the process of allocation of talents to school tracks is subject to many trial errors and revisions by families and many of those who leave school return to it subsequently.young people; school dropout; human capital;

Development of High-level Talents Lecturer Team in Provincial Universities: Study on Tongren University, Guizhou, China

The critical period of China’s advanced education change, nearby common commonplace schools and colleges have changed from connected gifts to connected abilities, and schools have progressed to applied technology universities. The study at hand has been developed following a quantitative research method and tries to attain further understanding. Henceforth, the required primary data were collected by following a survey strategy by giving out self-administered questionnaires. Full-time teachers engaged in teaching at Tongren University in Guizhou, China were selected as the sampling frame for this study. The study showed that the Policy (POL) has a positive impact on Improving the Sustainable Development of Lecturers (SPD). The results of the study are given to the status quo of the construction of the lecturer team, the optimisation of the policy, and the average score of the sustainable development of the lecturer team with different professional qualifications and different levels of education. Colleges and universities must achieve self-use within the total number of approved preparations, position self-determination, high-level professional titles account for a higher proportion of job placement, self-determination of employment conditions, and independent employment of high-level talents. This study is limited to Tongren University and may not provide similar findings in a different university. However, this study can be used as a guideline for future study on other factors which will influence the development of high-level talent lecturer team.

The Study of the Role and Effects of Vocational Education on the Local Economic and Social Development in China

This study examined the relationship between vocational education and the development of regional social economy, as related to the background of the current reform of the vocational and educational system in China. It also reviewed and analyzed the reform of vocational educational systems in six regions in China. In particular, this study investigated the interrelationship between labor force resources, urban and rural vocational education and the development of social economy. The special phenomena accompanying vocational education and the economic development were illustrated. Research explored the importance and impact of vocational education on the economic and social development. From this study, guidelines for the development of vocational education to improve economic conditions in China were found. As disclosed by the analysis, the major problems in the current vocational education reform in China are the hindered mechanism, the insufficient outlay and the shortage of professional teachers. Vocational education, which aims at popularizing and propagating science and technology, hasn\u27t been able to bring new science and technology into the existing specialty and curricula structure in a timely manner. Suitable and corresponding adjustments have not been made. However, after China entered the WTO (World Trade Organization), changes in the industrial structure and the labor market, transformation of the economy and hi-tech and service industry exerted a considerable influence on the development of vocational education in China. From these findings, it can be seen that the development of vocational education in China is closely related to the development of regional economy and society; therefore, it is necessary to study vocational education reform and development and the macroscopic background of the economic development, particularly regional economic development. At the same time, in accordance with the demands of social and economic development, it is also necessary to explore the new growth points in vocational education, especially how to establish life long vocational education institutions in enterprise communities or rural production communities. This study made a layout for the developmental prospects of vocational education in China and pointed out that the most important competition in the future world will be the competition of science and technology, keeping qualified scientists and technicians, and vocational education which trains a great number of technical laborers. While mightily promoting the development of the market economy, China should prepare for the challenge of the globalization of the knowledge economy

The Relevance of Education as a Capital Asset for Economic Development: References to the Romanian Situation

AbstractRomania takes steps forward to ensure resourceful, constant and inclusive growth, given its outstanding capacity in business. Education – the supplier of labour - dedicates its efforts to increasing creativity, but in the absence of a wider awareness and responsibility. Hence, it transforms students into smart capital, able to deal with change. The process postulates both training demand and supply. To achieve that goal, specialists should reconsider teaching as a vivid system of processes and needs that increases ability in alternative knowledge. This will help avoiding unemployment, poverty and social exclusion risks. Some real experiences and results are considered for the improvement of both theory and practice
