E309 Block 2 reading
all eight programme graduates and teaching candidates stated that they and other FTEP graduates/candidates were primarily interested in teaching in high-resource city schools.
-
-
-
city schools were eager to hire FTEP graduates. We found that this seemed to be due in part due to their strong academic ability.
As Liao and Yuan (2017) reported, this is also likely due to the fact that FTEP teachers brought additional resources to the schools that hired them.
-
2015 and 2016, we interviewed six programme graduates, two teaching candidates and eight faculty members
-
varia- tion across the sample with regard to the universities they attended, the subjects they were teaching, and the school levels at which they were working (i.e. elementary vs. secondary). -
-
Similarly, in choosing teacher educators to participate in the study, we sought variation across the sample with regard to the universities where they worked, the subjects they were teaching, and how long they had been working as teacher educators. We sought graduates/candidates and teacher educators from different uni- versities in order to assess whether views of the policy’s capacity to reduce inequality were similar across institutions.
you won't find out 'typical' thinking from a particular uni from one person! Assumptions will be made that 'this is how people here think'.. totally unreliable!!
One 45min interview each
-
also examined several accounts of the FTEP, including those by Fan and Wang (2014), Gao (2009), Hagin (2012), Liao and Yuan (2017), Luo and Mkandawire (2015) and Yang (2011).
-
We also drew on descriptive statistics on FTEP participants compiled by leading newspapers in China.
-
-
used the case reports to look for systematic patterns of higher education access, post-graduation teaching placements and conditions in rural schools (Miles, Huberman, and Saldana 2014; Yin 2017).

reasons for training
-
very odd so many say not going to be lifelong career...fair enough dancing but surely most people pick a career??
two graduates did not address ways that the FTEP had affected access to higher education for students from low-income families.
Were they specifically asked? concludes, as these 2 broke contract, their families can afford to repay...ergo social mobility for poor is not on their radar. They may not disagree just didn't mention it...huge diff! You cannot assume someone things to the contrary just cos not mentioned!!
proof that qualitative is flawed if allowed to just talk freely...needs more specific questioning. Can be open ended but focused.
-
-
most of the FTEP graduates were in their early 20s and the opportunity to live in a large city seemed more appealing
-
Paper says gives social mobility/ opportunity to poor students to train but unlikely to improve the rural schools
study appreciates (at end) small group and only looked at 5 universities and not city or rural schools
