  • As Macau's society rapidly develops, the education system of Macau also continues to develop, including early childhood education. The competency of early childhood teachers in Macau plays an important role in the future development of education. Teacher competency includes four main dimensions: educational ability, work attitude, psychological factors, and motivation. This paper focuses on exploring these dimensions and the differences in teacher competency among Macau's early childhood educators, considering their personal background variables. Moreover, this research investigates the factors such as the working attitude of teachers, their professional development needs, and motivation that affect their teaching in early childhood education. Historically, understandings of teacher competency in Macau's early childhood education were primarily analyzed through t-tests and one-way Anova of survey data, which tend to have lower reliability and validity. This paper employs confirmatory factor analysis among other methods to conduct empirical research on the current state of teacher competency, aiming to advance the development of teacher competency in Macau with more reliable data. This paper uses literature review methodology to gather relevant research and analyzes the information gathered, by using a self-assessment questionnaire on early childhood teacher competency to conduct a survey among 187 early childhood teachers in Macau. This can help to understand their competency levels and how these correlates with their personal background variables. The integrated data from the teacher self-assessment questionnaires indicate that the overall level of teacher competency in Macau is acceptable. In terms of the 4 early childhood teacher competency factors, the psychological factors got the highest score, while their educational abilities got a lower score. The differential analysis conducted on the evaluated teachers shows there are significant differences in early childhood teacher competency among different age groups and years of teaching experience. This research aims to provide more data and information to Macau's education related departments and kindergarten management, to formulate targeted teacher training and career development plans of teachers, which can help to improve the overall teaching quality and job satisfaction of teachers in Macau's early childhood education. The research suggests that future research should expand the research subjects to early childhood teachers from different cultural backgrounds, increase the use of interviews and case analysis (adopting mixed research methods), and analyze the differences in personal background variables and the competency of Macau's early childhood teachers. 澳門社會飛速進步的同時,其教育體系也在不斷發展,而幼兒教育在塑 造孩子未來發展的基礎上扮演著至關重要的角色。故澳門幼兒教師勝任力對於 幼兒教育的未來發展具有不可忽視的重要性。教師勝任力(Teacher Competency) 包含教育能力、工作態度、心理因素和動機等四大維度。本文著重探討這四個 維度和教師的個人背景變項與澳門幼兒教師勝任力的差異性。同時,也會關注 教師的工作態度、專業發展需求及動機等因素對幼兒教師教學的影響。過去, 人們對澳門幼兒教師勝任力的了解較多使用 t 檢驗及單因數變異數進行問卷數 據分析,其有效性及可靠性相對較低。針對上述問題,本文採用驗證性因素分 析等方法對幼兒教師的勝任力現狀進行了實證研究,期望以更可靠的數據推動 澳門幼兒教師勝任力的發展。本文使用文獻分析法整合相關文獻及就研究資訊 進行分析,並使用幼兒教師勝任力自評定問卷對澳門 187 名幼兒教師進行問卷 調查,以了解澳門幼兒教師的勝任力及個人背景變項與澳門幼兒教師勝任力的 差異性。整合教師自評問卷數據後結果如下: 澳門幼兒教師勝任力總體水準尚可, 就勝任力特質表現而言,幼兒教師的心理因素最好,幼兒教師的教育能力較差。 而對被評價幼兒教師進行差異分析的結果顯示:不同年齡段和教齡與幼兒教師 勝任力有顯著差異。 本研究有望為澳門教育相關部門和幼稚園管理層提供更多數據和資訊, 以制定針對性的教師培訓和職業發展計劃,提高澳門幼兒教育整體教學品質和 教師職業滿意度。建議未來研究擴展研究對象至不同文化背景的幼兒教師、增加訪談和個案分析的部分(採用混合研究方法)和分析個人背景變項與澳門幼兒 教師勝任力的差異性。

  • The gaming industry has always been the leading sector in Macau and is one of the main occupations in the region. In 2023, gaming employees accounted for 18.2% of the total employment in Macau, making them a significant portion of the workforce. Research shows that gaming employees experience high levels of work stress, which can directly affect occupational fatigue and may also trigger anxiety and depression. Workplace fatigue and emotional health not only impact individual physical and psychological well-being but also affect their families, work, and interpersonal relationships. Therefore, the emotional health and workplace fatigue of gaming employees deserve public attention. This study aims to explore the work adjustment measures, stress coping methods, emotional health, workplace fatigue, and their relationships among gaming employees. The research focuses on Macau’s gaming employees, employing a quantitative approach. Using non-random sampling, electronic questionnaires were sent to managers of Macau's six major gaming companies from October to December 2023, ultimately collecting 563 valid responses, with males accounting for 45.6% and females for 54.4%. The study utilized SPSS 23 statistical software for quantitative analysis, first conducting descriptive statistics, followed by independent samples t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and finally Pearson correlation coefficients and regression analysis. The study found differences in coping methods based on gender, age, education level, marital status, shift patterns, and monthly salary among gaming employees. Differences in workplace fatigue were found related to gender, age, education level, marital status, living conditions, years of work experience, job position, and monthly salary. Age, education level, and marital status also showed differences in emotional health. In terms of work adjustments, 67.1% of respondents took parental leave, followed by 54.2% who took unpaid leave, and 9.8% who were transferred. The average score for personal fatigue was 40.90 ± 23.125, while the average score for work fatigue was 40.62 ± 21.405, followed by client-related fatigue at 36.65 ± 21.056, and work over-involvement at 24.22 ± 18.987. The average score for depression was 10.60 ± 8.974, indicating mild to moderate levels; anxiety had an average score of 11.26 ± 8.567, indicating moderate to severe levels; and stress averaged 9.96 ± 8.418, falling within the normal to mild range. Among the respondents, 33.9% exhibited severe to very severe anxiety symptoms, while 16% showed severe to very severe depression symptoms. We also found a positive correlation between workplace fatigue and emotional health among gaming employees: the higher the level of workplace fatigue, the poorer the emotional health, and vice versa. There was no correlation between work adjustment measures and workplace fatigue. However, work adjustment measures were related to emotional health and could predict it, with more adjustments correlating to better emotional health. Finally, in terms of stress coping, the use of emotional expression methods showed a negative correlation with emotional health and workplace fatigue, indicating that the more these methods were employed, the better the emotional health and the lower the workplace fatigue. Leisure activities and online gambling categories can reduce both personal and work-related fatigue. However, online gambling and physical gambling can increase symptoms of depression and anxiety among gaming employees, while online gambling can also increase stress symptoms. The study recommends that gaming companies and relevant departments provide on-the-job training for employees, enhance skills to cope with stress, establish mental health indicators, and regularly evaluate employees to implement individualized measures aimed at improving workplace fatigue and emotional health. The results of this study can provide valuable insights for policymakers and the management of gaming establishments in Macau to formulate relevant policies to reduce workplace fatigue among gaming employees and improve their emotional health, thereby enhancing their working environment and career development. 博彩業一直是澳門的龍頭產業,是澳門主要的職業行業之一, 2023年博彩從業員佔澳門就業人數18.2%,是澳門主要的就業勞動人口。研究顯示博彩從業員的工作壓力很大,而工作壓力會直接影響職業疲勞,也可能引發焦慮和抑鬱。職場疲勞和情緒健康不但影響個人生理和心理問題,還會影響其家庭和工作,以及人際關係,因此,他們的情緒健康和職場疲勞值得社會大眾關注。 本研究旨在探討博彩從業員工作調整措施,壓力應對方法、情緒健康、職場疲勞以及它們的相關性。研究以澳門博彩從業員為研究對象,採用量化方式進行,以非隨機抽樣方法,在2023年10月至12月向澳門六大博企管理人員發送電子問卷,最終回收問卷563份,男性佔45.6%,女性佔54.4%。研究使用SPSS 23 統計軟件進行量化分析,資料首先作描述性統計分析、再以獨立樣本t檢定、其次以單因數變異數(ANOVA)、最後以Pearson相關係數和迴歸分析檢定數據。 研究發現,博彩從業員的性別、年齡、教育程度、婚姻狀況、輪班模式和每月薪酬與壓力應對方法呈現差異。性別、年齡、教育程度、婚姻狀況、居住狀況、工作年資、工作職位和每月薪酬與職場疲勞有差異。年齡、教育程度、婚姻狀況與情緒健康有差異。博彩從業員在工作調整上,放親子假最多佔67.1%,其次放無薪假佔54.2%,被調職佔9.8%。個人疲勞平均數為40.90±23.125分及工作疲勞平均數40.62±21.405分最高,其次是服務對象疲勞平均數為36.65±21.056分,工作過度投入平均數為24.22±18.987分。抑鬱平均數為10.60±8.974分屬於輕度至中度水平;焦慮平均數為11.26±8.567分,屬於中度至重度水平;壓力平均數為9.96±8.418分,屬於正常至輕度範圍。當中有33.9%的人士的焦慮徵狀顯示出嚴重和非常嚴重程度,而有16%的受訪者的抑鬱徵狀呈現嚴重和非常嚴重程度。我們還發現,博彩從業員的職場疲勞與情緒健康存在正相關,職場疲勞程度越高,情緒健康越差,反之亦然。工作調整措施與職場疲勞沒有相關性。然而工作調整措施與情緒健康存在關係,並可以預測情緒健康,工作調整越多,情緒健康越好。最後,在壓力應對上,傾訴類別與情緒健康和職場疲勞呈現負相關,並有預測效果,亦即傾訴類別使用的方法得分越多,情緒健康越好,職場疲勞也越低。休閒類別和網上博彩類別能減低個人和工作疲勞。網上博彩類別、實體博彩類別會增加博彩從業員的抑鬱、焦慮徵狀,而網上博彩類別會增加壓力徵狀。研究建議博企及相關部門為員工提供在職培訓,加強技能應對壓力,制定精神健康指標並定期為員工評估,因應個別化推出措施,改善職場疲勞和情緒健康。 本研究的結果能為政策制定者和澳門幸運博彩娛樂場管理部門提供有價值的見解,制定相關政策,以減低博彩從業員的職場疲勞和改善他們的情緒健康,改善他們的工作環境和職業發展。

  • This study employs a qualitative research method to explore kindergarten teachers' perceptions of gender stereotypes, their views on gender equality education, and how these concepts are implemented in their teaching practices. Additionally, it analyses the challenges faced in promoting gender equality education in Macao and offers relevant recommendations. The study participants comprised eight in-service kindergarten teachers (four males and four females) working at four kindergartens in Macao. Through semi-structured in-depth interviews, the study delves into the teachers' experiences and perspectives on implementing gender equality education in kindergartens. The study concludes with the following findings: 1. Teachers have a basic understanding of gender equality; however, influenced by societal traditions and family cultures, gender stereotypes still persist in their teaching. While teachers can recognise and reflect on the presence of these stereotypes and understand the core concepts of gender equality education, they still lack a comprehensive grasp of its substantive content. 2. When practising gender equality education, teachers exhibit varying degrees of gender stereotyping and bias. Male teachers, in particular, display more evident gender bias compared to female teachers, especially in their disciplinary approaches towards male and female students, with male teachers being more stringent with boys. However, no significant gender differences were observed in classroom performance, behavioural discipline, academic achievements, or task distribution. This suggests that teachers treat students of both genders relatively equally, with no clear link to their personal backgrounds. 3. Regarding gender equality and social status, male teachers generally express higher satisfaction levels than female teachers. Male teachers believe that gender equality has been achieved, whereas female teachers feel that women remain at a disadvantage in terms of work conditions and family responsibilities. 4. Teachers identify several challenges in promoting gender equality in education in Macao. This includes deep-rooted societal cultures, insufficient awareness and understanding of gender equality education among the government, the public, teachers, and parents; gender stereotypes in textbooks and school environments; the lack of gender-related content in textbooks; and the gender imbalance among kindergarten teachers, with a marked shortage of male teachers. 5. Teachers suggest that the government should collaborate with experts to provide more relevant teacher training or community seminars for teachers and the public. These initiatives should aim to challenge gender stereotypes, re-evaluate the content of textbooks and the setup of school environments, and promote the feasibility and necessity of male kindergarten teachers. Based on the study's findings, the researcher offers several recommendations for advancing gender equality education in Macao, providing concrete ideas and reasonable references. It is hoped that these suggestions will serve as valuable references for future related research. 本研究採用質性研究法,旨在探討幼稚園教師對性別刻板印象的看法、性別平等教育的理念以及在教學中實踐的情況,並分析在澳門推行性別平等教育所面對的挑戰及相關建議。研究對象來自澳門四所幼稚園的八位在職幼稚園教師(4男4女),研究透過半結構式深度訪談,深入探討教師在幼稚園推行性別平等教育中的經驗和觀點。本研究得出以下結論: (一) 教師對性別平等已有基本概念,但因受到社會傳統文化及個人家庭文化的影響,在教學中仍存在性別刻板印象。教師能察覺和反思這些刻板印象的存在,並瞭解性別平等教育的基本核心概念,然而對其實質內容的理解仍有不足之處。 (二) 在實踐性別平等教育時,教師表現出不同程度的性別定型及性別偏見。其中,男教師相較於女教師表現出更為明顯的性別偏見,尤其體現在針對兩性的學生的管教方式上,男教師對男生的態度較為嚴厲。然而,教師在課堂表現、行為紀律、學業成績、職務分配等方面則未顯示出顯著的性別差異,能相對平等地要求及對待兩性的學生,這與教師的個人背景因素並沒有明顯關聯。 (三) 在兩性平等與社會地位問題上,男性教師的滿意度普遍高於女性教師。男性教師認為兩性地位已達至平等,而女教師則認為在工作待遇和家庭層面上,女性仍處於較為不利的地位。 (四) 教師認為在澳門推行性別平等教育面臨的挑戰包括:根深蒂固的社會文化,政府、大眾、教師及家長對性別平等教育的關注和認知不足;教科書及學校環境設置存在的性別刻板印象,以及教科書中缺乏性別議題內容;幼稚園教師的性別比例失衡,男教師明顯偏少。 (五) 教師建議政府需要與專家合作,提供更多相關的師資培訓或社區講座,供教師及市民參與,並以突破性別刻板印象為目標,重新審視教科書及學校環境的設置,同時加強宣傳男性幼稚園教師的可行性及必要性。 基於上述研究結果,研究者對澳門性別平等教育的推行提出了若干建議,並提供了具體的思路和合理的參考依據。期望這些建議能為未來相關研究提供參考。

  • As the number of students with diverse learning needs continues to rise in Macau, teachers face numerous challenges in addressing individual differences in the classroom. This research aims to explore the awareness and implementation of differentiation instruction among Macau primary school teachers, as well as the challenges encountered in its practice. Differentiation instruction is an instructional approach that seeks to cater to the individual learning needs of students by adapting teaching methods, content, and assessment strategies. It involves recognizing and responding to the readiness, interest, and learning profile of students within a classroom. This study employs a mixed-methods approach, primarily utilizing questionnaires to assess the knowledge and skills of Macau primary school teachers in both regular and inclusive classrooms regarding differentiation instruction. Additionally, semi-structured interviews will be conducted with a purposive sample of eight professional Macao primary school teachers who have implemented differentiation instruction. The findings were organized and analyzed, revealing as follows: (1) Macau Primary School Teachers' Knowledge and Skills in Differentiated Instruction: The motivation of Macau primary school teachers to receive training in differentiated instruction is relatively low. However, most teachers have gained a basic understanding of the definition and concept of differentiated instruction through participation in professional development courses and school training. Teachers also accumulate experience in teaching practice, enhancing their ability to implement differentiated instruction. (2) Models of Differentiated Instruction Implementation by Macau Primary School Teachers: Macau primary school teachers primarily reflect students' learning profile through basic background information, classroom observation, and reviewing assignments and tests. When designing teaching content, teachers adjust according to learning profile, personal interests, and readiness, aligning with the differentiated instruction practices. (3) Macau Primary School Teachers' Attitudes Toward Implementing Differentiated Instruction: Most Macau primary school teachers have a positive attitude towards differentiated instruction, agreeing that adjusting teaching according to individual student needs can enhance learning outcomes and motivation. However, they face numerous challenges during implementation. (4) Challenges Faced by Macau Primary School Teachers in Implementing Differentiated Instruction: The educational policies in Macau pose challenges to the implementation of differentiated instruction. Schools lack clear guidelines, teachers face heavy workloads, have limited knowledge and experience in differentiated instruction, parents have insufficient understanding of the concept and purpose of differentiated instruction, and unbalanced educational resource limit its effective implementation. (5) Favorable Conditions for the Development of Differentiated Instruction: Positive progress in the allocation of human resources, resource distribution, and tiered assessments in schools, as well as cooperation between families and schools, has promoted the successful implementation of differentiated instruction. Based on the research findings, specific recommendations are provided offer recommendations to optimize teaching effectiveness and better address the diverse learning needs of students, ultimately ensuring optimal learning outcomes. 隨着本澳有着不同學習需要的學生的數量漸增,教師在課堂上面對不少困難與挑戰,因此教師關顧學生間個別差異不容忽視。本研究旨在瞭解澳門小學教師對於差異化教學概念的認知程度、如何作教學實踐,及當中遇到的問題。 根據研究目的,本研究以「詮釋主義」作理論框架,採用混合研究法,「以質性研究為主,量化研究為輔」,先以問卷調查瞭解本澳小學普通班和融合班教師對差異化教學的知識與技能,繼而透過半結構訪談法,並經立意採樣,選取曾實踐差異化教學的小學教師進行訪談,整理和分析研究結果顯示: (1) 本澳小學教師對差異化教學的知能程度:澳門小學教師對差異化教學的培訓動機較低。通過參加專業發展課程和校本培訓,大多數教師對差異化教學的定義和概念有一定程度的掌握。教師亦可在教學實踐中累積經驗,提升實施差異化教學的能力。 (2) 本澳小學教師實施差異化教學的模式:澳門小學教師查閱學生的基本背景資料、觀察課堂學習進度,以及通過批改作業和測試檢視學生能力,主要反映學生的學習水平。教師在設計教學內容時,根據學習風格、個人興趣和學習準備度進行調整,符合差異化教學實踐形式。 (3) 本澳小學教師對實施差異化教學的態度:多數澳門小學教師對差異化教學持積極態度,認同根據學生個別需求進行教學調整能提升學習效果和動機,但在實施過程中面臨諸多挑戰。 (4) 本澳小學教師在實施差異化教學時面對的困難:澳門的教育政策對差異化教學實施造成阻力,學校缺乏清晰的指導方針,教師面臨繁重的工作負擔,教師對差異化教學的知識與經驗有限、家長對差異化教學的概念與目的理解不夠,和有限的教學環境和統一教材,限制了差異化教學的有效實施。 (5) 有利發展差異化教學條件:學校在人力資源配置、資源調配和評估分層等方面的積極進展,以及家庭與學校的密切合作,推動了差異化教學的成功實施。 基於研究結果,提出具體建議,從而讓本澳的教育工作者有所參考,使得學生能獲得最適合的學習方式。

  • Nowadays, inclusive education has become increasingly popular in various places. And it becomes more and more common for students with special education needs to be placed in general education environments. However, students with special education needs often have problems getting along with their classmates because of their own physical and mental disabilities and behavioral traits. In schools, social interaction has always been a major issue for students with autism spectrum disorder to integrate into the group. Due to their physical limitations or internal psychological differences, they often encounter difficulties in interacting with classmates. The researcher of this study is a primary school resource teacher in an integrated school. During the teaching process, she found that students with autism spectrum disorder in regular classes have some difficulties in adapting, especially in getting along with others . Therefore, the researcher hopes to improve their social behavior through Mind-Reading training, so that they can develop well in interacting and socializing with others. This study intends to explore the effect of Mind-Reading training on improving the mind reading ability and social interaction ability of five autistic spectrum disorder students in primary school, and conduct research and discussion on their ability to understand others and social interaction . Comparison and data analysis were conducted through pre-test, six-session of Mind-Reading training course, Mind-Reading learning record form filled in by the researcher, and post-test. The pre-test and post-test tools include: "Vinlan Adaptive Behavior Scale 3 (Chinese version) - Children's Version" filled out by the parents of the research participants, interviews with the head teachers of the research participants, and a theory of mind test completed by the research participants (ToMTB test). The study concluded as follows: 1.Children with autism spectrum disorder can improve the ability to understand others after receiving Mind-Reading training. 2.Children with autism spectrum disorder can show the improvement in social interactions after receiving Mind-Reading training. In this study, the researcher hopes to improve autistic students' ability to understand other people 's thoughts and improve their social interaction through Mind-Reading training, so that autistic spectrum disorder students can integrate into ordinary classes and get along with their classmates. They try to use Mind-Reading training to explore whether this method is effective. And the conclusion confirms that Mind-Reading training can improve autistic spectrum disorder students' abilities to understand others , improve their social interactions , and promote social relationships with their classmates. It is recommended that in future research on Mind-Reading training in Macao, the teaching content should be combined with social interaction skills and life experience. In addition, we will increase the understanding of peer perceptions, observations of class entry or recess time, and extend the follow-up time to make the research more complete. 現今,融合教育在各地已漸趨普及化,特殊教育需要學生安置於普通教育環境是越來越常見的現象。然而,特殊教育需要學生因自身的身心障礙及行為特質,導致他們與同儕相處時經常出現問題。在學校,社交互動一直是自閉症譜系障礙學生融入群體的一大重點議題,他們因自身的生理限制或心理內在的差異,導致其在與同儕互動時常遇到困難。本研究的研究者為融合學校的小學資源教師,在教學的過程裏,發現就讀於普通班的自閉症譜系障礙學生在適應上出現了一些困難,特別是與人相處方面,因此,研究者希望能透過心智解讀訓練來改善他們的社交行為,讓他們能在與他人互動和社交方面獲得良好的發展。 本研究擬探討心智解讀訓練對提升五位低小自閉症譜系障礙學生的心智解讀能力與社交互動能力的效果,對他們理解他人的能力及社交互動方面進行研究和討論,通過前測、六節的心智解讀訓練課程、研究者填寫的心智解讀學習記錄表、後測來進行比較及資料分析。前測及後測工具包括:由研究參與者之家長填寫的「文蘭適應行為量表第3(中文版)-兒童版」、研究參與者之班主任訪談,以及研究參與者完成的心智理論測驗(ToMTB測驗)。 研究得出的結論如下: 1.自閉症譜系障礙兒童在接受心智解讀訓練後理解他人的能力有所提升。 2.自閉症譜系障礙兒童在接受心智解讀訓練後在社交互動方面有相對的改善。 本研究中,研究者期望透過心智解讀訓練提升自閉症譜系障礙學生理解他人想法的能力,以及改善其社交互動,使自閉症學生能融入普通課室,與同齡人相處,所以嘗試透過心智解讀訓練來探討此方法是否有效,而結論證實心智解讀訓練能提升自閉症譜系障礙兒童理解他人的能力,以及改善他們的社交互動,促進與同儕之間的社交關係。 建議本澳未來的心智解讀訓練研究中,教學內容結合社交互動技巧及生活經驗。另外,增加了解同儕觀感、入班或小息時間之觀察,以及延長追蹤時間,以令研究變得更為完善。

  • 現時澳門全力推行融合教育,促使融合教育逐漸普及化,幼稚園教師是學 前融合教育實踐的主力軍,因此在融合教育發展中,幼稚園教師的態度是重 要的因素。本研究以澳門普通幼稚園教師對融合教育的態度及面對融合教育 生的困難和挑戰為目標,透過對七位澳門普通幼稚園教師進行訪談,瞭解研 究對象對融合教育的認知與瞭解、情感體驗與支持度、行為傾向及面對融合 教育生的困難和挑戰。 從研究結果發現:在教師態度的認知分析結果中,有超過一半的受訪教師 對融合教育的認知都能夠符合融合教育的精神及理念,但是,仍然有少部分 受訪教師的認知是偏離融合教育的理念。在態度的情感分析結果中,過半數 的受訪教師對融合教育出現被動消極的負面情感,亦有近過半數教師主動積 極接納融合教育。值得一提的是,教師對融合教育的情感體驗會發生動態轉 變的特徵,當中包括教師初期對融合教育的情感是正面主動的或負面抗拒 的,經過對自身實踐融合教育後,教師會對融合教育的情感形成轉變,初期 對融合教育的情感是正面積極的教師可能因為在實施融合教育上遇到不同的 困難或問題從而對融合教育的接納度由主動積極轉變為被動消極。另一方面 初期對融合教育的情感是負面消極的教師因為在實踐融合教育後積極報名參 加與融合教育有關聯的課程,提高自我的能力,有實踐的經驗累積增強了實 施融合教育的信心後對融合教育產生了由被動消極變為主動積極的情感轉 變。在行為傾向來看,大部分受訪教師會以個性化針對性教學方式對融合生 進行教學,同時亦會調整教學環境、教學準備、評核標準調適,亦注重與家 長及駐校社工的合作溝通。 最後結合本研究結果,分別對回應研究問題提出具體的建議,旨在為政 府、教育機構、教師和學生提供參考,以促進澳門的融合教育。 Macao is fully committed to promoting integrated education and promoting the gradual popularization of integrated education. As the frontline workers of education, kindergarten teachers’ attitude towards integrated education is the key to the success or failure of the development of integrated education. This study aims at the attitudes of Macao ordinary kindergarten teachers towards inclusive education and the difficulties and challenges faced by students in inclusive education. Through semi-structured interviews with seven Macao ordinary kindergarten teachers, we have an in-depth understanding of the research subjects’ cognition and understanding of inclusive education. Understanding, emotional experience and support, behavioral tendencies, and the difficulties and challenges faced by students in integrated education. From the research results, it is found that: from a cognitive perspective, most of the interviewed teachers’ cognition of inclusive education is in line with the spirit and concept of inclusive education, but there are still some interviewed teachers whose cognition of inclusive education deviates from the spirit and concept of inclusive education. Spirit. At the emotional level, more than half of the teachers surveyed have passive and negative feelings towards inclusive education, while nearly half of the teachers actively accept inclusive education. It is worth mentioning that teachers’ emotional experience of inclusive education will undergo dynamic changes, including whether teachers’ initial emotions towards inclusive education are positive or negative. After practicing inclusive education, teachers will have different feelings about inclusive education. Emotions change. Teachers who initially had positive emotions towards inclusive education may change their acceptance of inclusive education from proactive to passive because they encounter different difficulties or problems in implementing inclusive education. On the other hand, teachers who had negative feelings towards inclusive education in the early stage have actively enrolled in courses related to inclusive education to improve themselves after practicing inclusive education. The accumulation of practical experience has enhanced their confidence in the implementation of inclusive education. There was an emotional change from passive to active. In terms of behavioral tendencies, most of the teachers interviewed will teach integrated students with personalized and targeted teaching methods. They will also adjust the teaching environment, teaching preparation, and assessment standards, and also focus on cooperation with parents and school social workers. communicate. Finally, combined with the results of this study, specific suggestions are put forward to respond to the research questions, and some reference opinions are provided for the government, schools, teachers, etc., in the hope of promoting Macao's integrated education to further progress.

  • The development of non-gaming facilities will shape the future of Macau's gaming industry. These amenities include food and retail, which have become vital in increasing customer satisfaction and loyalty since they offer other services other than gambling. In the future, as casinos shift their strategies to focus on non-gaming aspects, it will be crucial to build detailed profiles of casino visitors based on how much they spend on non-gaming products and services. Changes in the legal framework of the gaming industry and shifts in market demand have forced casinos to turn to other forms of tourism and cultural services, address legal requirements, and minimize risk. Furthermore, external factors such as stringent gaming laws, fiscal measures, and increasing competition from other regional gambling jurisdictions, including Singapore and the Philippines, threaten the casino gaming business. In response to these threats, Macau's casinos are paying more attention to cooperation within the tourism industry and enhancing their non-gaming offers to sustain their market position and grasp new options. Therefore, the future of Macau's gaming industry will be determined by the strategic planning of its future developments, focusing on non-gaming activities, target visitors, compliance with the new laws, and the ability to overcome external challenges to ensure market competitiveness.

  • The current study aimed to analyse the differences in the internalising problems including anxious/depressed, withdrawn-depressed and somatic complaints, from the perspective of parents and high school students. Considering varying levels of academic achievement. Additionally, the gender differences in the level of internalising problems will also be examined. Finally, we analysed the different perspectives of parents and high school students according to internalising problems. The Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA) was used for data collection in Macao. The sample consisted of 698 high school students (316 males and 382 females). There were no significant differences in internalising problems according to three levels of academic achievement (low, average and high) from the perspective of parents and high school students. Furthermore, from the high school students' perspectives, adolescent females present more interesting problems than males. Finally, the findings indicate a low agreement between parents and students concerning internalising problems. It is suggested that parents should learn and explore different parenting styles in order to reduce their children's internalising problems.

  • This study investigates the factors influencing customer adoption of Internet Banking Services in Macau through a quantitative approach utilizing a customer survey. As digital banking continues to evolve, understanding the determinants of adoption is critical for financial institutions seeking to enhance their offerings and engage with diverse customer segments. A sample of over 100 respondents was surveyed, capturing essential demographic information, technological proficiency, and attitudes toward Internet banking. The analysis employed descriptive and inferential statistical techniques, including regression analysis and factor analysis, to identify key relationships and underlying factors influencing adoption. The findings reveal that perceived ease of use, security concerns, and prior banking experience significantly affect customers' likelihood of adopting Internet banking services. Additionally, demographic variables such as age, occupation, and nationality emerged as important predictors of customer attitudes toward online banking. The results of this research provide actionable insights for banks and financial institutions in Macau, highlighting the need for targeted marketing strategies and enhanced user experience to foster greater adoption of Internet banking. This study contributes to the existing literature on digital banking adoption in the region and serves as a foundation for future research in this dynamic field.

  • This study aims to explore the attitudes of kindergarten teachers in Macao towards early Chinese literacy. Using semi-structured interviews and purposive sampling, eight kindergarten teachers from seven different private schools in Macao were invited as study participants. Based on the interview data, the study further understands teachers' cognition, emotional experiences, and support towards early Chinese literacy, as well as their behavioral tendencies in practicing early Chinese literacy. The research findings indicate: (1) Kindergarten teachers have insufficient cognition of early Chinese literacy, mainly due to a lack of awareness and understanding of early Chinese literacy. (2) From the perspective of emotional experiences and support, all interviewed teachers support the development of early Chinese literacy at the kindergarten stage. (3) Kindergarten teachers exhibited positive, negative, and neutral emotions in the process of organizing early Chinese literacy, with emotions influenced and transformed by students' performance, from negative to positive emotions. (4) Kindergarten teachers face shortages of resources, such as teaching aids and training, in practicing early Chinese literacy. Based on the study results, recommendations were made for kindergarten teachers, the government, and schools. It is hoped that schools can provide sufficient teaching materials for early Chinese literacy and conduct relevant research activities. Kindergarten teachers should enhance their professional knowledge of early Chinese literacy. Additionally, the Macao government should formulate related policies and training courses for early literacy, enabling kindergarten teachers to design appropriate teaching curricula. 本研究旨在探討澳門幼稚園教師對中文早期讀寫的態度,研究採用半結構式訪談,透過立意取樣的方式,邀請到來自本澳七所不同的私立幼稚園的八位前線幼稚園教師作研究对象,依據訪談所獲得的資料,深入瞭解教師們對中文早期讀寫的認知,其情感體驗與支持度,以及在實踐中文早期讀寫的行為傾向。 研究結果顯示:(一)幼稚園教師對中文早期讀寫的認知不足,造成認知不足的原因主要有幼稚園教師缺乏對中文早期讀寫的認知。(二)從情感體驗及支持度來看,全部受訪教師都支持在幼稚園階段發展中文早期讀寫。(三)幼稚園教師在組織中文早期讀寫的過程,會呈現出正面、負面及中立的情緒,而情緒表現亦會受到學生的表現而發展轉變,由消極的情緒轉化為正面情緒。(四)幼稚園教師在實踐中文早期讀寫會受到資源短缺,如:缺乏教學用具,欠缺中文早期讀寫的培訓。 本研究依據研究結果,研究者對幼稚園教師,政府及學校等提出相關建議,期望學校能夠提供充足的中文早期讀寫教學材料,以及開展相關的教研活動,而幼稚園教師應提升對中文早期讀寫的專業知識。同時,澳門政府應該制定相關早期讀寫政策及培訓課程,使幼稚園教師能設計適切的教學課程。

  • 融合教育作為當今教育改革的重要方向,旨在為所有學生提供公平的學習 機會,尤其是為特殊需求學生融入主流教育創造條件。儘管融合教育的概念已 經被廣泛認同,但在實際操作中,普通班教師在面對多樣化的學生需求時,仍 面臨著許多挑戰和困擾。目前已有的研究主要集中在融合教育的理論探討和政 策分析上,對於第一線教師在融合教育實踐中的實際困境和應對策略研究較 少,尤其是在澳門這樣一個多元文化背景下,相關的實證研究更為稀缺。因 此,深入探討一般班教師在融合教育實踐中的困擾與挑戰,不僅有助於完善融 合教育的理論體系,也能為實際教學提供強大的支持與指導。本研究旨在探討 普通班教師在融合教育實踐中的困擾與挑戰之現況,並進一步分析不同背景變 項的差異情形,為進一步推動融合教育實踐提供參考依據。本研究採用問卷調 查的方式,以自編之「小學普通班教師在融合教育實踐中之困擾問卷」進行量 化資料蒐集,以任職於澳門小學之普通班教師為研究對象,取得有效問卷數 150 份,有效回收率為 97.4%。問卷調查所得之資料以描述性統計、項目分析、 探索性因素分析、信度檢驗、獨立樣本 t 檢驗、和單因素方差分析等進行資料 分析。本研究得出以下結論: 一、普通班教師在融合教育實踐中之困擾情形為中等偏高程度,以「特教知 能」層面的教學困擾程度最高,而在「班級經營」層面的教學困擾程度最 低。 二、不同性別之普通班教師在融合教育實踐中整體教學困擾情形達顯著差異, 其中男性教師在面對融合教育的挑戰時,感受到的困擾更為強烈,男性教 師在「特教知能」、「班級經營」、「課程與教學」、「親師合作」和「支援系 統」五個層面的困擾得分都高於女性教師。 三、不同學校類型之普通班教師在融合教育實踐中整體及各分向度教學困擾情 形達顯著差異,私立學校教師在融合教育實踐中的整體及各分向度的教學 困擾皆顯著高於公立學校教師。 四、不同學校類型之普通班教師在融合教育實踐中整體及各分向度教學困擾情 形達顯著差異,私立學校教師在融合教育實踐中的整體及各分向度的教學 困擾皆顯著高於公立學校教師。 五、任教不同班級人數之普通班教師在融合教育實踐中整體教學困擾情形達顯 著差異,班級人數在20人以上的教師困擾程度高於班級人數在20人以下的 教師。 基於以上研究,本文提出以下建議:第一,加強教師特教知能培訓,幫助 教師掌握因應身心障礙學生需求的專業知識和技能;第二,增加資源和政策支 持,提升普通班教師在融合教育中的教學效能,確保所有學生都能獲得公平的 教育機會;第三,合理配置班級人數,提升整體教學品質及學生的學習效果; 第四,促進親師合作,提升教學質量,減輕教師的工作壓力;第五,完善支援 系統,政府和學校應提供全面的支援服務,確保教師在整合教育實踐中能得到 充分的支持和幫助。

  • The present study explored the effect of organisational culture on turnover intentions of full-time workers in financial sector in Macao, and the mediating effect of organisational commitment. The following research questions were examined in this study: (1) how do organisational cultural values affect workers’ turnover intentions? (2) what is the role of organisational commitment in the relationships between organisational cultural values and turnover intentions? A cross-sectional design was used by applying a self-response bilingual (Chinese and English) questionnaire to a sample of 123 full-time workers in the financial sector in Macao. Results show that the organisational culture factors with a stronger impact on turnover are entrepreneurial, hierarchical and team cultural values. Entrepreneurial values (ßa=-.323, p=.004), followed by team values (ßa=-.260, p=.011), show the strongest effects and a negative relationship with turnover intentions. Meanwhile, hierarchical values (ßa=.208, p=.012) show the weakest effect and a positive relationship with turnover intentions. Regarding the affective commitment in the relationships between organisational cultural values and turnover intentions, the values with the strongest impact were entrepreneurial, followed by hierarchical and team values. Affective commitment fully mediates the effects of entrepreneurial and hierarchical values and partially mediates the effect of team values on turnover intentions. Regarding theoretical implications, our findings seem consistent with the social exchange theory. Regarding practical implications, we discuss some strategies to promote entrepreneurial and team values and prevent hierarchical values as strategies to increase affective commitment and decrease turnover in the financial sector.

  • The quiet fashion trend is becoming one of the most common fashion trends among Gen Zs. Quiet normally means not making noise. Within the fashion industry it refers to style of luxury fashion that is understated, subtle, and free from obvious branding. The study that was reported in this paper is about the factors that affect consumer preference and purchase intention towards quiet luxury fashion products, with a focus on the Gen Z population. This research is important since it will help in outlining how different factors affect consumer purchase intention and preference towards various products within the fashion industry. Thus, enabling decision-makers and marketers to make effective decisions. The research method that was used was quantitative research with primary and secondary data. The primary data was collected through a survey questionnaire, which included 300 responses. The research found that social media influencers, brand collaboration, and status value are among the factors that have a significant relationship with consumer preference and purchase intention toward the quiet luxury brand among Gen Zs. Also, the research found that sustainability value does not have a direct impact on consumer preference and purchase intention for quiet luxury products. Hence, the research concluded that social media influencers, brand collaboration, and status value are part of the factors that have a significant impact on consumer preference and purchase intention.

  • This research investigates the philosophical question of whether nostalgia, often viewed as irrational and unproductive, truly hampers the present. While some philosophers consider it an obstacle to progress, this study highlights its positive and hopeful aspects. With a focus on Heidegger’s existentialist philosophy, the link between nostalgia and the concept of “home” as a metaphysical sanctuary is explored. Using a phenomenological approach, this research reveals how nostalgia intertwines with hope, demonstrating that nostalgia can be an act of hope. The openness of Dasein allows humans to experience their presence in the world. Mood reveals one's current state of being, with nostalgia being one such mood. Nostalgia discloses the objects of longing, ultimately rooted in the notion of “home.” At its foundation, this exploration is fundamentally tied to the essence of hope. This leads to a renewed interpretation of nostalgia as a crucial part of growth, highlighting its significance in life. Moreover, the thesis advocates for using nostalgia as an instrument to foster hope, effectively bridging the individual with hope itself.

  • Inclusive preschool education in Macao is in its infancy and resource teachers (RTs) play a pivotal role in supporting kindergarten teachers. This study aimed to investigate Macao kindergarten teachers’ demand for and satisfaction of RTs’ support services in inclusive education. Using a mixed method design, the researcher administered a self-developed questionnaire (including a need scale and a satisfaction scale) to 70 kindergarten teachers and interviewed four kindergarten teachers. Based on the quantitative and qualitative data analyses, results showed that: 1) Kindergarten teachers had a high demand for RTs’ support services no matter whether they had previously received such services, and kindergarten teachers who had received RTs’ support services (N = 43) were moderately satisfied with their support services. 2) There was a moderate correlation between the demand and satisfaction scales and respective dimensions. The need level was significantly higher than the satisfaction level on all six dimensions. Teachers reported highest scores on both their need and satisfaction on the dimension of Cooperation, Interaction, and Communication. 3) Kindergarten teachers’ need level increased significantly when the number of inclusive students taught during the school year was three or more, compared to a number below three. Teachers’ satisfaction level did not differ significantly across any demographic variables. 4) Kindergarten teachers were satisfied with RTs’ support services in terms of improved classroom management by handling inclusive students’ problem behaviors, pull-out instruction, test-taking assistance, reduction of IEP workload, and the provision of professional support to parents. 5) Kindergarten teachers were dissatisfied with RTs’ support services in terms of cooperative interaction and communication, co-teaching, assessment of inclusive students’ performance, and supervision of RTs' work. Based on the kindergarten teachers’ expectations for RTs’ support services, the implications of this study were discussed to provide meaningful and evidence-based directions for the research and practice of inclusive preschool education in Macao. 澳門學前融合教育處於發展階段,資源教師在支持幼稚園教師學前融合教育中起著舉足輕重的作用。本研究旨在探究澳門幼稚園教師對資源教師支援服務的需求及滿意度情況。通過問卷調查法和半結構訪談法相結合的混合研究方法,研究者採用自編問卷調查了澳門70名幼稚園教師並訪談了4名幼稚園教師,其中問卷的需求和滿意度量表均分別由六個維度組成,包括:「專業知能」、「擬定和執行個別化教育計劃」、「教學資源與課程」、「成績評量」、「合作互動溝通」、「家長溝通」。量化及質性數據分析結果顯示:1)無論之前是否接受過資源教師的支援服務,幼稚園教師對資源教師的支援服務都有著較高的需求,而接受過資源教師支援服務的幼稚園教師(N = 43)對其支援服務的滿意度則達到一般滿意的水準;2)需求與滿意度量表及各維度之間呈現中度正相關,同時需求程度在各維度上均顯著高於滿意度;需求與滿意度得分最高的都是「合作互動溝通」維度;3)在不同的背景變量下,需求程度只有在「本學年為多少位融合生提供教學」該變量上有顯著差異,當融合生人數達到3名或以上時,教師對資源教師的需求有所增加,而滿意度在不同的背景變量下則沒有顯著差異;4)幼稚園教師對資源教師在改善融合生行為問題造成的班級影響、抽離教學、測考協助、減少IEP工作量、以專業角度向家長提供支援服務方面感到滿意;5)幼稚園教師對資源教師在合作互動溝通、合作教學模式、成績評量、對資源教師工作監管等方面感到不太滿意。最後,結合幼稚園教師對資源教師所提出的期望,筆者提出本研究的啟示,包括完善資源教師的政策規定、加強資源教師的專業化程度、拓展幼稚園教師與資源教師合作教學的模式,以及促進雙方之間的溝通與合作互動關係,為本澳學前融合教育的研究與實踐提供有意義的、循證的方向。

  • With the rise of the awareness of human rights, students with special educational needs (SEN) are receiving more attention. As many mainstream schools adopt inclusive education, society is focusing on teachers' professional awareness and attitudes toward inclusive education. This study examines the professional awareness and attitudes of post-90s early childhood teachers in Macau regarding inclusive education, aiming to improve policies and training programs. The research employs both qualitative and quantitative methods to explore teachers' views on inclusive education. The qualitative research consists of semi- structured interviews to understand teachers' readiness, attitudes, and the challenges they face in implementing inclusive education. The quantitative aspect uses a questionnaire adapted from the ""Survey on Equal Learning Opportunities for Students with Special Educational Needs under the Hong Kong Inclusive Education System,"" tailored for Macau. By combining interview findings and data, the study analyzes and summarizes the results. The results indicate that the professional awareness of inclusive education among post-90s early childhood teachers in Macau is at a relatively low to moderate level, and their willingness to engage in inclusive education is not high. Factors influencing teachers' willingness to implement inclusive education include a lack of professional knowledge (such as development history, relevant regulations, and guidance methods), insufficient resources, and unclear attitudes from schools toward the implementation of inclusive education. 隨著人權意識的掘起,特殊教育需要學生(SEN 學生)的學習受到關注, 澳門的融合教育逐漸受到關注,許多主流學校開始實施融合教育。就著學校教 育的轉型,教師對融合教育的知識和開展的態度受到社會所關注。因此,是次 研究以質量結合的方式進行調查,為廣泛地、深入地暸解澳門 90 後新生代幼兒 教師在融合教育方面的專業認知和態度,從而對澳門融合教育政策和教師課程 提出建議,促進融合教育的發展。 質性研究以半結構性的深度訪談暸解教師對實施融合教育的預備度和態 度,並探討當中的影響因素和教師在教學中的困擾與需求。量化的研究則參考 了《香港融合教育制度下有特殊教育需要學生的平等學習機會調查》的教師問 卷,向澳門 90 後新生代幼兒教師對融合教育認知和態度作調查。研究透過結合 訪談資料與數據,對研究問題作分析、討論與歸納,並撰寫出研究結果。 研究結果指出澳門 90 後新生代幼兒教師的融合教育專業認知處中等偏低的 水平,同時對融合教育開展的意願不高。而影響教師融合教育開展意願的因素 包括教師缺乏融合教育專業知識(如:發展歷史、相關法規和輔導方式)、資 源不足和學校對融合教育開展的態度不明確。

  • The purpose of this study is to examine the current situation of work stress and school support among teachers in integrated schools in Macau, to analyze the differences and correlations between work stress and school support among different background variables. This study utilized the questionnaire survey method as the research method, with secondary, primary and kindergarten teachers of integrated schools in Macau as the research subjects. The research instrument was a self-administered questionnaire on the relationship between work stress and school support among teachers of integrated schools in Macau, which was filled out in the form of an electronic questionnaire. A total of 253 questionnaires were collected and 253 questionnaires were usable, with a usability rate of 100%. The collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, single factor analysis of variance, and Pearson's cumulative difference correlation analysis, among other statistical methods. Based on the analysis, the following conclusions are as follows: (1) The overall work stress of Macau's integrated teachers is moderately high, and the mean values of each level are ranked from highest to lowest as workload, professional knowledge, and administrative cooperation, among which workload and professional knowledge belong to the medium-high level, and administrative cooperation belongs to the medium level. (2) The overall school support of Macau's integrated teachers is of medium-high level, with the mean values of each level ranked from high to low as family and friends' support, peer support, parents' support and administrative support, among which family and friends' support, peer support and parents' support are of medium-high level, while administrative support is of medium-low level. (3) The overall work stress of Macau's integrated teachers varies significantly across the highest level of education and stages of education. (4) The overall school support of Macau's integrated teachers varies significantly by marital status, highest academic qualification, years of teaching experience, position held, integrated education courses pursued, number of students in the classroom, and the size of the school. (5) The relationship between total work stress and total school support of Macau's integrated teachers was found to be low and negative. In Macau, there are no systematic research has been conducted on these two topics. Through this study, the authors localize these existing research findings, explore their applicability in Macau, and make recommendations for the education sector, school units, and integration teachers respectively, based on the actual situation in Macau. 本文旨在探討澳門融合學校教師的工作壓力及學校支持之現況,分析不同教師背景變項在工作壓力及學校支持的差異情況及兩者之間的相關性。 本研究以問卷調查法為研究方法,以澳門融合學校的中、小、幼教師為研究對象。研究工具為自編的澳門融合學校教師工作壓力與學校支持關係之研究問卷,以電子問卷的方式進行填寫。共回收問卷253份,可用問卷為253份,可用率為100%,回收的數據以描述性統計、獨立樣本t檢定、單因數變異數分析法、皮爾遜積差相關分析等統計方法進行分析。 根據分析所得結論如下:(一)澳門融合學校教師總體工作壓力屬於中等偏高程度,在各個層面平均值由高至低排列為工作負荷、專業知能及行政配合,其中工作負荷及專業知能屬於中高水準,行政配合屬中等水準。(二)澳門融合學校教師總體學校支持屬於中等偏高程度,在各個層面平均值由高至低排列為親朋支持、同儕支持、家長支持及行政支持,其中親朋支持、同儕支持及家長支持屬於中高水準,行政支持屬中低水準。(三)澳門融合教師總體工作壓力在不同學歷及任教教育階段有顯著差異。(四)澳門融合教師總體學校支持在不同婚姻狀態、學歷、教學年資、擔任職務、融合教育課程進修、任教班級學生數目及校部規模有顯著差異。(五)澳門融合教師總體工作壓力與總體學校支持兩者之間的關係為顯著低度負相關。 在澳門地區,目前尚未進行過針對這兩個主題相關的系統性研究。作者透過本研究,將已有的研究成果進行本土化,探索它們在澳門環境下的適用性,結合當地的實際情況,分別為教育部門、學校單位及融合教師提出建議。

  • The peacock blenny Salaria pavo is notorious for its extreme male sexual polymorphism, with large males defending nests and younger reproductive males mimicking the appearance and behavior of females to parasitically fertilize eggs. The lack of a reference genome has, to date, limited the understanding of the genetic basis of the species phenotypic plasticity. Here, we present the first reference genome assembly of the peacock blenny using PacBio HiFi long-reads and Hi-C sequencing data. The final assembly of the S. pavo genome spanned 735.90 Mbp, with a contig N50 of 3.69 Mbp and a scaffold N50 of 31.87 Mbp. A total of 98.77% of the assembly was anchored to 24 chromosomes. In total, 24,008 protein-coding genes were annotated, and 99.0% of BUSCO genes were fully represented. Comparative analyses with closely related species showed that 86.2% of these genes were assigned to orthogroups. This high-quality genome of S. pavo will be a valuable resource for future research on this species’ reproductive plasticity and evolutionary history.
