Abstract Categorized management is one of the main lines of thinking on the reform of the Chinese system of management for social organizations. However, there is a divergence of opinion amongst different researchers on the standards for categorization. On the basis of the findings of international research about supportive social organizations, the authors attempt to set forth a way of categorizing social organizations into two main groups: supportive and implementing organizations. They go on to demonstrate that the management of implementing organizations through supportive social organizations is a new kind of innovation within the self-governance of society and system of management for social organizations in China. Three methods of supportive social organization management and service for implementing organizations are explored, including industry leadership, bridging between sectors and self-regulation. Finally, a description is given of the challenges faced by China’s supportive social organizations themselves during their own development.

1.1 A paper about the Appointed Actuary is essentially a paper about prudential supervision of life insurance companies. The system which has operated in the UK since the mid-1970's is only partly one of Government supervision. Through the professional role of the Appointed Actuary, it also contains elements of a system of self-regulation with the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries standing in place of SRO's. Unlike the self-regulatory arrangements of the Financial Services Act. though, this second part of the system has grown up by custom and practice and in certain respects it is not codified. However it enables the Insurance Companies Act to be operated successfully.

The aim of the intervention based on the self-regulation theory by Zimmerman (2000) was to promote a powerful learning environment for supporting self-regulated learning by using learning materials. In the study, primary school teachers were asked to implement specific learning materials into their regular mathematics lessons in grade four. These learning materials focused on particular (meta)cognitive and motivational components of self-regulated learning and were subdivided into six units, with which the students of the experimental group were asked to deal with on a weekly basis. The evaluation was based on a quasiexperimental pre-/postcontrol-group design combined with a time series design. Altogether, 135 fourth graders participated in the study. The intervention was evaluated by a self-regulated learning questionnaire, mathematics test, and process data gathered through structured learning diaries for a period of six weeks. The results revealed that students with the self-regulated learning training maintained their level of self-reported self-regulated learning activities from pre- to posttest, whereas a significant decline was observed for the control students. Regarding students’ mathematical achievement, a slightly greater improvement was found for the students with self-regulated learning training.
