Insight: Theories, Problems and Solutions Preface

Editor-in-Chief

 

Rural Education is dedicated to generating, deepening and spreading knowledge based on first-hand contact with reality and intended to initiate real changes and improvements to reality. This mission is reflected in the theme of this new issue (theories, problems and solutions) and best manifested in the papers selected. The papers included in this issue closely deal with reality and real problems. In ‘Education Investment and Underdevelopment’, Zhong examined the inter-relationship between poverty, local economics, excessive private investment in education and urbanization in the context of an out-of-the-way village known as BL. In ‘Statistical Representation of Rural Schools’, Tang and her colleagues drew on the findings of a survey conducted in a mountainous region of Xiangxi, discussed four major problems that have hindered the provision of equitable education to rural school children. In ‘Solar Power as A Trigger of Development’, the Sunshine Action Group documented a real-life development project being conducted in another village of Xiangxi. ‘Between Different Cultural Heritages’ presented an analysis by Desheng Lu of the contradiction between schooling and socialization/culturalization found in a rural region in Sichuan, another southwest province. Of the four studies named above, three were related to one and the same region known as Xiangxi (湘西), i.e., Hunan West. But I believe that they together present a kaleidoscopic insight into rural China.

This issue of Rural Education is happy to present a Chinese translation version of a paper on student classroom behaviour management, co-authored by Reupert and Woodcock. The paper systematically compared and studied strategies adopted by earlier career teachers to manage classroom behaviour in order to deliver effective teaching results. Western experiences may be as remote geographically and cultural as rural experiences but they will as eye-opening and informative to interested readers of the journal.

The papers are informed by modern theoretical insights and methodologies as they deal with reality. Zhong applied an income-expense analysis method to an investigation into the cost of education and its impact on reinvestment in economic investment and production. Tang and her colleagues used questionnaires, interviews and focal discussion groups to generate an enriched insight in the key problems preventing delivery of equitable quality education to rural children. Sunshine Village Action Group adopted the trigger concept in a development project, with which it became possible to deliver optimized outcome using limited resources. Lu’s investigation was apparently enlightened by Bourdieu’s cultural capital theories. Reupert and Woodcock adopted a problem-based approach to address an issue of great relevance and importance to the training of teachers. As Chinese education moves towards a student-based teaching philosophy, the information and experiences documented in their paper will provide a useful reference point for Chinese teachers and teacher trainers. By establishing first-hand contact with reality, conducting solid fieldwork, drawing on modern theories and methodologies, and examining the reality critically, the investigators were able to produce new, sharp insights into reality, which is a valuable step towards formulating solutions to the problems. Zhong discovered that excessive private investment in education actually undermined local economic and socio-cultural development, which contradicted some popular high-sounding slogans of education improving life. Tang and her colleagues found that a wide range of problems, i.e., psychological problems, demographic changes and gender inequality as well as lack of government investment, were responsible for the disappointing status-quo of rural education. Sunshine Village Action Group identified that single lever (i.e.,
