Abstract: Despite a long history of citation research, its focus has been on the linguistic and rhetorical characteristics of citations rather than their semantic nature. Using a move-based approach grounded in the CARS model (Swales, 1990), this paper studies the sorts of source ideas cited in different parts of literature reviews (LR) of Information Systems research articles following the design science research (DSR) and interpretivist research (IR) paradigms. Findings reveal three types of epistemically-oriented semantic content – theoretical, research, and methodological – and one type that is non-epistemically-framed, which vary quantitatively and qualitatively between the DSR and IR LRs. For example, both types of LRs cite more often in Move 1 Establishing a territory than in Moves 2 and 3 Establishing a niche and Occupying the niche, with theoretical terminologies, definitions, propositions being referred to more frequently in the IR writing than in the DSR writing. On the other hand, citations in the DSR writing often display prescriptive propositions, design concepts, artefacts, and methods which are absent from the IR writing. These findings not only help us better understand how citation is shaped and constrained by rhetorical moves and research paradigms but also provide implications for the teaching of citation content.2024-01-01T00:00:00ZExperiences and sense-making processes of online teaching internship: A master of teaching programmeDr. DOS SANTOS Luis Miguel, Louishttp://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11861/82332023-10-12T06:13:44Z2024-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Experiences and sense-making processes of online teaching internship: A master of teaching programme
Authors: Dr. DOS SANTOS Luis Miguel, Louis
Abstract: Teaching requires a student-teaching internship for the license and registration,
usually completed from the face-to-face and on-campus components. However,
due to the covid-19 pandemic, many classrooms have switched to online platforms,
regardless of the levels. This study aims to understand student-teachers’
experiences of an online-based student-teaching internship and how such
internships influence the sense-making processes of student-teachers in online
school environments. In line with the self-efficacy theory and social cognitive
career and motivation theory, the case study method was used to invite a group of
Master of Arts in Teaching students (a total of 18) to share their experiences and
sense-making processes of their online student-teaching internship. Semi-structured
interviews, focus group activities, and member-checking interviews were used to
collect data from the participants. Based on the qualitative data, three themes were
categorised: 1) positive experiences, 2) technology education is the trend, and 3)
preparation for online classroom environments. The study may provide support or
ideas to university leaders, supervisors, department heads, student-teachers, and
policymakers to reform and polish their teaching qualification programmes with
different types of delivery modes in order to meet the needs and educational trends
of the coming decades.2024-01-01T00:00:00ZPsychological disordersDr. LAM Yin-Hung, BessDr. HSU Si-won, Sharonhttp://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11861/83972023-10-26T06:05:45Z2024-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Psychological disorders

Abstract: “Bik Hoi Laam Tin” (碧海藍天)—which literally means “blue sea and clear sky”—is not a line in a poem but the name of a private housing complex in Hong Kong. Odd though it may seem, all housings in Hong Kong are named. As acquiring private housing in Hong Kong is infamously difficult, those who succeed have long been deemed the “successful”, the “elites”. Developers have even invented different housing names to manifest this different and prestigious identity of residents/potential buyers. Seeing these names and their TV advertisements as semiotic resources, investigating the settings and patterns, with the help of the computer program Python, this article unveils the trends of these materials from the 1980s to the 2020s in Hong Kong: Increasingly, there is a continuous need to construct and manifest, more explicitly, the elite identity through home commercialization. Implied in these housing names are not only an “ideal” home created by the estate developers but a continuous demonstration of elite identity, an uninterrupted indulgence of superiority, an encouragement of alienation, and unceasing naturalization of the worsening wealth disparity in Hong Kong.2024-01-01T00:00:00Z
