The problem of regional migration is treated in the article. The development of the Far Eastern territories is a priority now. The government has developed many large-scale projects aimed at supporting the remote region, but the problem of emigration of the economically active population has not settled since 1991. The problem of the outflow of promising young personnel from its territory is particularly acute. The purpose of this research is to study the reasons for the migration of young people from the Primorsky Region - one of the regions of the Far East. &quot;The main tasks&quot; were to obtain visions of migration moods and motivation of migration behavior of students. The study used a psychological verbal-communicative &quot;method&quot;--a survey in which a specially designed list of questions was used as a means to collect information from the respondent. The survey covered about 1,000 respondents between the ages of 15 and 30. The research has shown that the main reason for emigration of school graduates is the opportunity to progress, studying in prestigious domestic and foreign universities, working in the largest Russian and foreign companies, that not enough represented here. Excellent and good rated school graduates prefer to enter Moscow and St. Petersburg universities. This means that most prospective workers in the future want to leave the territory of the region. Analysis of the responses of the university graduates revealed the prevalence of negative expectations about their future and the future of the territories. The data indicated that the main reasons to leave the country and the Primorsky Region are low job prospects for university graduates, lack of self-realization possibilities, low wages and the instability of the region's political and socio-economic situation. In addition, the situation is exacerbated by the fact that respondents, for the most part, do not know about the projects that are being implemented in the region and do not see career prospects, which confirms the implementation of many strategic projects of the region only on paper. The lack of measures to prevent the emigration of young people will have a number of negative economic and social consequences, one of which is the reduction of competitevness of the territory. Creating favorable conditions for young people in the region, active public policy to attract young skilled professionals in Primorye is a prerequisite for the development of the region's intellectual capital and a guarantee of its dynamic socio-economic development.

This article uses a survey experiment to examine the effects of public school deregulations on public school leaders' support for a hypothetical private school voucher program in California. There is no evidence to suggest that public school deregulations affect public school leaders' support for private school vouchers overall. However, deregulations related to teacher certification and the administration of standardized tests were found to further decrease support for private school choice for leaders of large public schools. This result may be explained by expected adjustment costs or regulatory capture.

The beginning of the 21st century was marked by the rapid growth of qualitative transformations in all spheres of public life, including in pedagogical activity. Undoubtedly, this was facilitated by the steady development of information and communication technologies (ICT), the transformation of knowledge into a fundamental source of welfare gain as for a separate individual, and for society as a whole. Today, cross-cultural competencies are actively being formed that create opportunities for self-identification of individuals and communities; the dominance of the role of information-filled factors in the composition of sources of informationanalytical base, etc. are observed. All this allows us to talk about the formation of the information society, which determines the transformation of professional pedagogical activity and its institutional environment. In our opinion, there is a change in the content of pedagogical activity; it is being transformed into information and analytical activity, as it is implemented by carriers of intellectual and creative resources with the active use of breakthrough information and communication technologies, which, ultimately, allows us to provide the main contribution to improving the level of professional development teacher. It is about the formation of a global information space. Experts note that teachers of non-pedagogical specialties of higher educational institutions in the Russian Federation often do not have basic pedagogical education, which makes it very difficult and even impedes the solution of many educational problems, not to mention the fact that they do not have a proactive character regarding the state of educational practice. Speaking about the teachers' availability of professional and pedagogical training, we assume that, at a minimum, they know such methods of professional pedagogical activity as the algorithmization and problematization of the educational dialogue, which allow them to identify the operations of the activity and determine their optimal sequence; all this also actively involves students in discussions when considering problem situations, etc. All that, in the end, is associated with the need to find relevant information for a professional solution to the problem in question. It is obvious that in modern realities it is necessary to constantly update professional information due to its rapid obsolescence, which in itself requires the active improvement of pedagogical technologies. All this speaks of the need to improve the theoretical and methodological provisions and practical recommendations of professional and pedagogical training of university teachers in the conditions of informatization of education.

Purpose: This study investigates young Chinese as a second language (CSL) learners' Chinese character reading performance and its relationship with their orthographic awareness. There is a pressing need to gain a better understanding of Hong Kong's ethnic minority students' CSL acquisition, so that more effective instruction can be provided. Design/Approach/Methods: A total of 157 Hong Kong ethnic minority CSL students in Grade 4 were evaluated using a range of assessments: orthographic awareness in identifying and utilizing character components, listening comprehension for vocabulary terms and short texts, and reading Chinese character lists with single- and two-character words. Findings: The students performed consistently across the two lists but made fewer errors when reading the two-character word list, most of which were orthographical. Multiple regression analysis showed that the students' orthographic awareness contributed significantly to their character reading. Originality/Value: The findings suggest that orthographic awareness can help ethnic minority CSL learners improve their Chinese character reading skills. Chinese classes provided for such students, and for CSL learners in general, should place greater focus on literacy training.

Purpose: A growing body of research has focused on the topic of inclusive education for ethnic minorities in Hong Kong. At the same time, few scholars have explored the role technology can play in enhancing inclusivity within the context of quality education. This study examines how the differentiated use of technology that takes into account disparities in prior knowledge can benefit students of different learning backgrounds. Design/Approach/Methods: This study adopted an experimental design to investigate how content-specific and content-neutral technologies can be strategically used to support the classroom discussions of Chinese and ethnic minority students' learning Chinese language and mathematics. One hundred and twenty-one secondary school students participated in the study. Each student was randomly assigned to a condition, in a 2 (ethnicity: Chinese vs. ethnic minority) × 2 (content: content-specific first vs. content-neutral first) design. Findings: The study found that (a) for Chinese language lessons, ethnic minority students preferred to learn with content-neutral and content-specific technologies in prediscussion and postdiscussion activities, respectively; whereas the Chinese students' preferences were the opposite and (b) for mathematics lessons, both groups of students performed better when content-specific and content-neutral technologies were used in prediscussion and postdiscussion activities, respectively. Originality/Value: The study presents five practical suggestions for the strategic use of technology in inclusive classrooms in Hong Kong.

Introduction &amp; Purpose: Considering the stressors in the Social Security Organization and the management of these factors in order to improve efficiency and quality of medical services, the present study aimed to to provide a stress management model for insurance employees of the Social Security Organization of Iran. Materials and Methods: This research is applied in purpose and is survey in method. The statistical population consisted of three groups: Experts familiar with the field of employee stress management that by selective non-random sampling method, 15 individuals were selected. Results: All employees and managers of the Social Security Organization of Iran that 462 were selected based on the Cochran's formula, and 232 people were selected by stratified random sampling method appropriate to the size of the population. In this study, a questionnaire was used to collect the required data. The model design and approval questionnaire with 29 components and indicators was changed to 24 items after obtaining the opinion of experts using the Delphi method. The Stress-Related Factors Questionnaire included 72 questions and the Stress Management Questionnaire consisted of 24 questions. In this study, the content validity of the questionnaire of factors related to stress and stress management were 0.915 and 0.921 respectively, and their reliability was calculated to be 99.1 and 94.6, which was greater than 0.7 and it was acceptable. Data analysis was performed using structural equation modeling with Lisrel software. Discussion: At 5% level error between individual factors (-0.33), occupational factors (-0.37), managerial factors (-5.99), organizational factors (-4.62), environmental factors (0.76 0), there was a significant and inverse relationship between stress and stress management of insurance employees of the Social Security Organization of Iran. Conclusion: The existing facts in the discussion of psychopathology and mental health in the workplace show that a significant percentage of the causes of mental illness and work fatigue among the employees of organizations can be found in the behavior methods and personality of managers.

Purpose: This article aims to (1) systematically examine the development of career guidance practices in Hong Kong over the past 40 years, (2) discuss developmental attention to the career-related self-concept of diverse learners, and (3) propose a multidimensional model of self-concept by integrating the career-related domains with recent advances in self-concept research pertaining to students' in-school and post-school outcomes. Design/Approach/Methods: This article charts the developmental trend of career guidance and counseling (CGC) over more than 40 years in Hong Kong. The article also examines key findings relating to self-concept research made in the fields of education and career counseling in the past 50 years. Findings: For 50 years, Hong Kong has progressively recognized the importance of CGC. The government's continued determination to refine its policies and practices in this domain was succinctly highlighted in the Chief Executive's 2018 policy address. However, many challenges pertaining the professional competence of career guidance teachers and the ability of school administrators to manage the paradigm shift from informal to formal career guidance and counseling practices (CGCPs) remain. Meanwhile, the effects of these CGCPs on students' gains of career-related abilities and interests directly and indirectly remain under-researched. Originality/Value: This article integrates research into the developmental trend of career guidance practices in secondary schools and the study of academic self-concept. The article builds upon previous self-concept research by proposing an extended self-concept model that includes the career-related domain, setting a theoretical model for further research to explore. Finally, the article demonstrates the importance of tailoring career guidance activities in secondary education to reflect the diverse career-related self-concepts held by today's students with diverse abilities.

A number of studies have been conducted regarding self-efficacy in the field of foreign language learning. Yet, with the popularity of mobile learning, research on the relationship between mobile learning and self-efficacy in this field is still limited. To bridge the gap, the study aims to investigate the effects of mobile learning on students' reading self-efficacy, i.e. whether the use of mobile learning can improve students' English reading self-efficacy. A questionnaire is employed to collect data from 294 non-English major students in universities. To survey the effect of mobile learning on students' reading self-efficacy, the data is accessed by the software SPSS 20.0. Results of independent T test demonstrate that for overall students, reading self-efficacy for students who have used the app is significantly different from those who haven't in overall reading skills and in the four dimensions of reading skills, i.e. basic reading skills, applied reading skills, reading task skills, and advanced reading skills. As for students with relatively better reading performance, the results are consistent. However, for students with relatively weak reading performance, the reading self-efficacy of students who have used the app only shows significant differences in overall reading skills and in the two dimensions of basic reading skills and applied reading skills, but shows no difference in the dimensions of reading task skills and advanced reading skills. Finally, practical suggestions for mobile learning and students' English reading are given.

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) are marketed as opportunities for participants to improve their labor market outcomes, and tens of thousands of students have paid for career-focused MOOC certificate programs. However, there is limited and conflicting research on MOOCs and labor market outcomes. Using two randomized control trials, we test Amazon's Mechanical Turk respondents' preferences for hiring hypothetical freelance web developers. In the first experiment, we examine preferences for profiles with MOOCs as compared to profiles with traditional degrees (bachelor's, associates, and community college certificates). Respondents preferred all traditional degrees over a MOOC; MOOCs do not serve as substitutes for traditional postsecondary credentials. In the second experiment, we examine preferences for MOOCs as compared to no listed credential. Results demonstrate a 61-percentage point preference for MOOC credentials compared to no MOOC credential; the preference does not vary across levels of professional experience.
