东南亚陆地国家留学生管理问题思考——基于跨文化视角

云南省高校留学生主体来自东南亚陆地国家,主要存在年龄偏小、跨文化适应经历缺乏、社会支持缺失等方面的问题。为此,针对性的来取＂开学活动周＂、＂语伴＂、＂趋同化管理＂等一系列举措,为中国高校应对留学生教育管理问题提供了借鉴。     

亚洲开放大学组织结构比较分析

组织结构研究一直是组织研究领域中的核心问题。在高等教育领域,大学的组织结构被认为是影响大学组织运行与发展的重要因素。开放大学的组织结构是指开放大学在组织定位的引领下,在职责职权等方面分工协作的体系,具体包括开放大学组织的分工形式、层次等级、分校组织架构、权力划分、协作机制等内容。从国际比较的视角来看,亚洲7所开放大学在组织定位、组织环境、组织特征、组织架构等方面表现出诸多共性。由于所处环境、文化、背景等方面的差异,亚洲7所开放大学在分校组织构架、内部治理模式、学科组合方式、行政权力与学术权力配置方面存在一定差异。目前我国开放大学建设已进入实质阶段,探讨和解决开放大学的体制机制等问题已是不争事实,这首先需要从组织结构层面对开放大学进行重新调整和完善。我国开放大学应充分立足本国国情,借鉴国际经验,在组织环境方面加快终身教育立法进程,在分校组织架构方面强调分权管理和合作共赢,在内部治理结构方面注重学术权力与行政权力相互制衡,在学科组合方式上探索多种模式。     

朝鲜李朝汉文小说写本俗字研究

亚洲汉文学,亦称东亚汉文学、域外汉文学,特指古代朝鲜半岛、越南、日本以及琉球等地区的各非汉民族作者用汉文创作的各类体裁的文学作品,简称"亚汉文学"。朝鲜李朝是汉文小说十分兴盛的时代,汉文小说写本拥有丰富的汉语俗字资料。文章主要依据金起东所编十卷本《笔写本古典小说全集》,对朝鲜李朝汉文小说写本俗语字通例进行探讨,研究其文字系统、文字生态、简体俗字等。加强域外写本汉字研究,不仅是古籍整理和文学研究之必须,也是构建汉字写本学必走的一步。     

Diaspora as method: Inter-Asia Cultural Studies and the Asian Australian Studies Research Network

ABSTRACT

What is the place of the diasporas within the Inter-Asia Cultural Studies movement, and how can Asian diasporas in the West contribute to Inter-Asia's intellectual project of “problematising Asia”? Developing a notion of diaspora as method, this essay highlights the complementary relationship between the Asian Australian Studies Research Network and the Inter-Asia Cultural Studies network. It argues that the Inter-Asia network has much to gain from embracing the Asian Australian diaspora as an interlocutor with shared priorities and concerns, and that Asian Australian studies can also productively learn from Inter-Asia's alternative model of institutionalisation, thereby expanding its theoretical and methodological frames of reference.     

The motivation activation measure and media use in Singapore: cross-cultural stability

The purpose of this paper is twofold: First, it tests how the Motivation Activation Measure [MAM; Lang, A., Bradley, S. D., Sparks Jr, J. V., &; Lee, S. (2007). The motivation activation measure (MAM): How well does MAM predict individual differences in physiological indicators of appetitive and aversive activation? Communication Methods and Measures, 1(2), 113–136] applies in a non-American (i.e. Asian) context, in order to provide evidence for the universality asserted through its theoretical underpinnings as an indicator of biologically based motivation systems. It thus investigates cross-cultural variation in the MAM scores and the associations with established measures of theoretically related personality factors. Second, the paper examines how individual differences in motivational system responsiveness correlate with media use and interests in an Asian culture. Eight hundred sixty-five respondents completed MAM, personality measures and self-reported media preference in an online survey. Findings indicate that the MAM values recorded in the Asian sample associate with the measures of theoretically related human traits as expected, and had a similar pattern of scores with those found in American samples. Moreover, results suggest that audience interests in different types of media can be predicted through their variation in motivation systems activation.     

从儒家文化看东亚经济发展

东亚地区在文化传统上与儒学有着深厚的渊源关系。儒家传统作为一种文化积淀,已深深地影响、制约着它所辐射的国家和地区。儒家文化虽然有它的博大精深之处,有些道德理想和价值观念在现代化的冲击下进入和成为符合现代市场经济的观念体系,并在东亚经济发展的初期发挥了积极的作用,但就其文化模式和观念体系而言,它毕竟是封建社会的产物,其负面影响不可避免。

Rights-Based Education for South Asian Sponsored Wives in International Arranged Marriages

The Family Class Category of Canada’s Immigration Policy exists with the key objective of family unification. Among Canada’s second largest immigrant group, the South Asians, the cultural practice of arranged marriage is applied across international borders, leading to spousal sponsorship. Existing research on South Asian sponsored wives suggests that they tend to misunderstand their rights as sponsored persons, as well as the rights and limitations of their sponsors. Misunderstandings may lead women to passively respond to sponsor-imposed barriers to integration. This paper builds a case for educating South Asian women about their sponsorship rights to assist them in recognizing and responding to rights violations. The paper presents an educational framework that would respond to their unique needs and vulnerabilities.     

Substance Use Among Taiwanese Female College Students

This study investigated the use of alcohol and other drugs among 193 Taiwanese female college students currently attending Tainan Women's College of Arts and Technology. Using the Core Alcohol and Drug Survey, participants were asked to identify: (1) which substances they have used in the last year and during the past 30 days, (2) the frequency of substance use, and (3) the consequences associated with the use of alcohol and other substances. Results indicated that alcohol and tobacco were the most commonly used substances. Compared to a similar study, alcohol use in the last year was considerably higher among the participants in this study and tobacco use was considerably lower. During the past 30 days, the use of both alcohol and tobacco were relatively low. Implications for college counselors and college officials are discussed.
