To globalise or not to globalise? ‘Inward-looking youth’ as scapegoats for Japan's failure to secure and cultivate ‘global human resources’

In Japan in recent years, there has been much discussion of the need for global human resources alongside criticism of Japanese youth as having an ‘inward-looking’ (uchimuki) orientation. Drawing out the contradictions apparent in a youth apparently reluctant to leave Japan and companies, universitiesand government seemingly desperate to nurture and attract global talent, this paper frames the uchimuki discourse as a cover for an insular Japan and its failure to attract and foster ‘global human resources’.As such, the two discourses shed a great deal of light on Japan's complex relationship with globalisation.

探讨工作满意度在农村中学教师职业角色意识与职业倦怠之间的中介作用.采用教师职业倦怠量表、工作满意度问卷和自编教师职业角色意识问卷对265名中学教师进行调查.结果表明:职业角色意识与职业倦怠呈显著负相关,职业角色意识对职业倦怠有显著负向预测作用;工作满意度在职业角色意识与职业倦怠之间存在显著的部分中介作用.研究表明,职业角色意识、工作满意度是教师职业倦怠的重要预测变量,工作满意度在职业角色意识与职业倦怠之间起部分中介作用.     

Design Education without Borders: How Students Can Engage with a Socially Conscious Pedagogy as Global Citizens

This study examines the student experience of a third sector graphic design project in an international context. Inspired by a humanist and socially conscious perspective that was originally set out by Ken Garland's ‘First Things First’ manifesto in 1964, the project developed into a collaborative learning experience for African and European students. The aim of this project was to develop student global citizenship and mobility through a cultural learning experience in a very different environment with challenging resources and social conditions. Using student interviews and evidence from their reflective journals, this article analyses how UK design students participated and negotiated the implementation of live projects in an African context, specifically Mozambique. It also examines the wider impact on the cohort of students and friends who did not travel to Africa but followed the experience online. Risk taking, experimentation and an appetite for enquiry are attributes that students are encouraged to develop, but they can equally apply to teachers and lecturers as they develop their curricula. Within the framework of university learning, teaching and assessment strategies space can be found for design educators to look beyond corporate and conventional consumer outlets to a more socially conscious and community focus without borders.     

Quantifying the effect of sponsor awareness and image on the sports involvement–purchase intention relationship

Despite the exponential growth of corporate expenditure on sponsorship, to date there has been little exploration of the degree to which sports involvement influences purchase intention of sponsor products and how much of this effect can actually be ascribed to an indirect effect through sponsor image and sponsor awareness. Using a multiple mediation model, this research explored the mediational role of sponsor awareness and sponsor image in the sports involvement–purchase intention relationship. Results revealed that while sponsor image is an effective mediator of the sports involvement and purchase intention relationship, sponsor awareness acts as a suppressor. Moreover, per the ratio of indirect effect to total effect, sponsor image accounts for 90% of the total effect of sports involvement on purchase intention. These findings should assist sponsors and sport event managers to capitalize on sponsorship opportunities more effectively.     

天生全球化数字企业：概念内涵、理论基础与快速扩张机制

有别于传统天生全球化企业,天生全球化数字企业因独特的起源与技术能力,展现出差异化的国际化特征与快速扩张模式。对此,本文聚焦于数字时代的天生全球化现象,首先,对天生全球化数字企业的概念内涵进行界定,并与传统天生全球化企业进行比较研究,以深化对天生全球化新现象的理解。其次,基于内部化理论、过程理论、网络理论和LLL理论等国际商务理论,探讨数字时代天生全球化现象对已有理论应用的拓展。最后,以现有研究为基础,遵循“驱动因素—扩张模式—扩张结果”的逻辑,创新性地提炼出天生全球化数字企业的快速扩张机制,并聚焦探讨了基于用户规模和基于供给规模两种快速扩张模式。通过上述探索,期望能够为数字企业国际化现象提供一个更聚焦、更深入的阐释,并为后续研究提供相对明确且系统的研究指引。

国内信息素质教育课程评析与建议

从课程目标与教学内容两方面对当前国内高校的信息素质教育课程进行分析,指出当前信息素质教育课程存在三方面不足：大学生信息素质教育忽视对信息管理与交流能力的培养;信息素质教育对本地资源依赖度过高;欠缺信息环境意识与对个人信息空间构建能力的培养。提出信息素质教育课程可以围绕一个中心两个基本点进行改革：转变以信息源为主导的教学模式,以人为中心,进行生本教育;以个人信息空间构建能力和个人信息管理能力的培育为基本点。     

不同层次高校的学报品牌策略探析

高校学报和其他出版物一样,需要打造品牌,需要有品牌效应。但是,高校学报因其主办单位是各高校而深受主办单位办学层次的影响。因此,对高校学报的品牌要求,不能以是否被SCI、E1收录,是否进入“一级期刊”、中文核心期刊等来衡量。不同层次高校的学报应具有不同的品牌,发挥不同的品牌效应。     

论大学英语学习者元认知能力的培养

要适应社会的发展以及英语学习模式的转变,大学英语学习者必须学会如何学习,因此必须培养英语学习者的元认知能力。文章简述了元认知理论及其构成,指出从以下三方面来培养大学英语学习者的元认知能力:培养英语学习者的元认知意识;元认知策略与认知策略和社会、情感策略相结合;采用直接、明确的方式进行元认知策略训练。
