Satisfaction with HyFlex Teaching and Law-abiding Leadership Education in Hong Kong University Students Under COVID-19

Since the early days of COVID-19, university teaching has changed from face-to-face format to online mode. With the gradual containment of the pandemic, there is no need for school lockdown. As a result, the teaching format has changed to HyFlex mode integrating both face-to-face and online modes. Obviously, it is necessary to understand the academic quality of life among students under the Hyflex teaching mode. In this paper, we report an evaluation study on a leadership subject in Hong Kong delivered via HyFlex teaching using a post-lecture evaluation strategy. In one of the lectures, we covered law-abiding leadership in university students, including abiding by the Hong Kong National Security Law. The post-lecture evaluation showed that students generally held positive views toward the HyFlex teaching and they perceived that the subject promoted their well-being indexed by psychosocial competence. Regarding the lecture on law-abiding leadership, students agreed that the lecture promoted their psychosocial competence, personal development, knowledge about law-abiding behavior and national security (including the Hong Kong National Security Law), and readiness to serve as socially responsible leaders. Positive perceptions of the lecture design, teacher performance, lecture content of law-abiding leadership and national security, and benefits positively predicted students’ overall satisfaction with the lecture on law-abiding leadership and national security.

     

Preliminary Findings from a Qualitative Study of Trauma Survivors in Treatment: Changes in Personal Narratives

This article seeks to document the characteristics and themes of later trauma recovery using a grounded theory analysis of interviews with trauma survivors enrolled in outpatient treatment. Little research exists that speaks to patients’ own accounts of the process of trauma recovery. Such accounts might elucidate how psychotherapy helps survivors make and remake meaning of their lives, their experience of traumatic events, and the resources they might call on in psychotherapy to secure recovery. This study examined narrative material gathered in a series of interviews with trauma survivors (n?=?14) who had been in treatment for an average of 8 months and could be described as in a later phase of the recovery process. Two significant themes emerged from the analysis: (a) greater coherence to the trauma narrative, and (b) the emergence of a more reflective and observational stance with respect to one's history. Implications for trauma-informed therapy are discussed.     

11岁和15岁儿童学习动机和数学素养的关系

选取2133名11岁和15岁学生,采用PISA测试为数学素养指标,探讨学生学习动机的不同维度与数学素养之间的关系。结果发现：（1）11岁学生的内部动机明显地强于15岁学生。（2）11岁学生内部动机中的挑战性动机与数学素养间的相关程度明显弱于15岁学生。（3）11岁高数学素养的学生组,数学素养和内、外学习动机有明显的相关,低数学素养学生组两者则不相关;对于15岁低数学素养的学生组,数学素养得分和内、外部学习动机有明显的相关,高数学素养学生组两者则不相关。     

Formulation and Treatment of Chronic Suicidality in Patients with Developmental Trauma

Although the psychodynamic literature has examined some of the links between developmental trauma and suicidal thinking and behavior, much of this scholarship focuses on the management of chronic suicidality in the treatment of patients with borderline personality disorder. In this paper, we examine the relationship between complex trauma and the broad spectrum of chronic self-destructive thoughts and behaviors commonly seen in clinical practice. We incorporate perspectives from psychodynamic theory with an emphasis on attachment theory in our understanding of the underlying mechanisms involved. We describe how we use this developmental understanding to address chronic suicidality in ongoing clinical treatment beyond management and safety planning, by providing psychoeducational, cognitive, behavioral and affect-focused strategies that serve to enhance the treatment alliance.
