The development of Chinese education in Malaysia, 1952–1975: political collaboration between the Malaysian Chinese Association and the Chinese educationists     

Yao Sua Tan  Hooi See Teoh 《History of education》2015,44(1):83-100

This paper examines the development of Chinese education in Malaysia from 1952 to 1975, focusing on the political collaboration between the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) and the Chinese educationists to advance the cause of Chinese education instead of the usual macro policy analysis. This collaboration was compounded by the different stand adopted by the MCA and the Chinese educationists on issues relating to Chinese education. This different stand reflected the MCA’s political limitations to advance the cause of Chinese education. The MCA had to abide by the elite accommodation model adopted by the coalition government since it was a partner of this coalition. Such an accommodative approach could not meet the assertive demand of the Chinese educationists on issues relating to Chinese education. Meanwhile, the political collaboration between the MCA and the Chinese educationists was also constrained by internal conflict within the MCA that compromised the interests of Chinese education.  相似文献   

Microfluidic size separation of cells and particles using a swinging bucket centrifuge     

Joo Chuan Yeo  Zhiping Wang  Chwee Teck Lim 《Biomicrofluidics》2015,9(5)

Biomolecular separation is crucial for downstream analysis. Separation technique mainly relies on centrifugal sedimentation. However, minuscule sample volume separation and extraction is difficult with conventional centrifuge. Furthermore, conventional centrifuge requires density gradient centrifugation which is laborious and time-consuming. To overcome this challenge, we present a novel size-selective bioparticles separation microfluidic chip on a swinging bucket minifuge. Size separation is achieved using passive pressure driven centrifugal fluid flows coupled with centrifugal force acting on the particles within the microfluidic chip. By adopting centrifugal microfluidics on a swinging bucket rotor, we achieved over 95% efficiency in separating mixed 20 μm and 2 μm colloidal dispersions from its liquid medium. Furthermore, by manipulating the hydrodynamic resistance, we performed size separation of mixed microbeads, achieving size efficiency of up to 90%. To further validate our device utility, we loaded spiked whole blood with MCF-7 cells into our microfluidic device and subjected it to centrifugal force for a mere duration of 10 s, thereby achieving a separation efficiency of over 75%. Overall, our centrifugal microfluidic device enables extremely rapid and label-free enrichment of different sized cells and particles with high efficiency.  相似文献

Children’s Voices: Providing Continuity in Transition Experiences in Singapore     

Marjory Ebbeck  Suraya Binte Saidon  Gunathilakan nee Rajalachime  Lay Yan Teo 《Early Childhood Education Journal》2013,41(4):291-298

The issue about when children should begin primary schooling continues to be an area for discussion amongst educators, parents, and children who indeed have some views about this. The compulsory entry age of children into formal schooling is different in many countries. It is not only the starting age that has invoked discussion, but also the types of practices that occur to facilitate transition and minimise stress in young children. In this regard the ‘ready school concept’ has grown in acceptance and provides for the needs of children of diverse backgrounds, knowledge and experiences. This paper examines what is happening in transition experiences in Singapore and presents the voices of a small sample of children who wanted primary school to be a place for both work and play.  相似文献

Exploring new potentials of blogs for learning: Can children use blogs for personal information management (PIM)?     

Hwan‐Ik Yeo  Yekyung Lisa Lee 《British journal of educational technology : journal of the Council for Educational Technology》2014,45(5):916-925

This study explores the use of blogs for personal information management (PIM) as a learning tool that could bring increased efficiency and academic self‐efficacy for carrying out learning tasks. In order to identify the uses and effects of using blogs for PIM by children, a control group that used personal spaces within the class website and an experiment group that used personal blogs both posted their resources online (personal space within class website or blog) to use in their class assignments. Comparison of both groups demonstrate that when children used blogs for PIM their academic their self‐efficacy increased, their personalization of blogs made it easier to use collected resources and they became more actively engaged in tasks as well. This study suggests that using individual blogs for PIM can create personally meaningful contexts of learning for children.  相似文献   

Exploring and learning from failure in facilitation     

Jennifer Boman  Michelle Yeo 《International Journal for Academic Development》2020,25(1):19-30

ABSTRACT

Research in academic development more often articulates stories of success than of failure in our practice. Using a self-study methodology involving written reflections and analysis of recorded conversations, this article explores how two mid-career developers define and learn from feelings of failure in the context of group facilitation. Through reflection and discussion as critical friends, we identified a series of tensions that shape our work and our identities as developers. How we reflect upon and navigate through these potentially uncomfortable places has implications for how we reframe our feelings of failure and evolve our practice.  相似文献
