In recent years, teachers in kindergarten from the Chinese mainland face many new challenges after ECE (early children education) promoting policy in 2010 by the Chinese Ministry of Education. Therefore, highquality KG (kindergarten) teachers with excellent job performance and long retention are necessary. However, due to the high workload and low salary, the turnover intention among KG teachers in China is high. Once turnover happens, both direct cost and indirect cost occur, which would bring a negative influence on ECE quality. Due to the professional nature of KG teachers, the replacement is hard, therefore it is important to understand how to achieve retention of KG teachers. Hereby, workload and work-family conflict (WFC) are identified as independent variables to predict the turnover intention among KG teachers in the Chinese mainland mediated by job stress. Family-supportive supervisor (FSS) is identified as a moderator who belongs to the job resource under the Job-Demands- Res.....

This study described the Cebuano cultural identities and prospects in search of a culture-based instruction model. This sought to find out the linguistic varieties of the Cebuano speakers; contrast the differences and similarities in the inasal making process; and identify the variations in the celebrations of festivals in Cebu. This study utilized a case study design with 15 research participants from the three selected cluster locations. These Cebuano cultural identities vary according to geographic location and other sociohistorical factors. Clipping and borrowing of words and expressions, from adjacent islands and roots of the colonial past, are indicative of these factors of language variations. The practices of inasal making are based on inherited traditions of the place such as variations on the use of logistics and needed ingredients to embellish the entire corpus of a sanitized butchered pig before its roasting.

Our study on Jimmy Boyle (1922-1971) has been one that attempts to unfold the many facets of his creativity against the single-dimensional image of a patriotic songwriter. His sentiments as songwriters of many kinds, a jazz musician, and a cultural enthusiast have been proven through his different branches of work that are at times seem contrasting with each other in compositional styles. As a result of a long term archiving project, this paper reveals the entire set of handwritten artefact left after his death in 1971 and was recovered in Universiti Putra Malaysia in 2014, namely some 177 items of Boyle’s manuscript that contains unpublished, published compositions as well as hand copy of others’ compositions. Main methods employed were that of the construct of taxonomy, and some cross-examination of the items covered within the catalogue mooted by the concept of intertextuality. I argue that Tokumaru’s concept of intertextuality is viable in examining a large number of Boyle’.....
