PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the perceived challenges that Chinese vocational college educators face in developing and delivering constructivist active and experiential entrepreneurship education.Design/methodology/approachQualitative data were collected from 24 focus groups of educators who had been tasked with embedding constructivist entrepreneurship education into their teaching and curriculum, at four different vocational colleges situated in four different provinces in China. The data were coded and analysed for emerging themes using a process of bottom-up thematic analysis.FindingsA range of concerns were identified from the focus groups and these could be divided into five main challenges, which were the role of the educator in the constructivist learning process and their ability to control the process; the educators perceived student reaction to the process and their engagement with it; the time and technology required to deliver the process; the link between the learning and industry; and the educators’ perception of the requirements to meet internal expectations.Research limitations/implicationsThis research explores the educators’ perceptions of the challenges they face in developing and delivering active and experiential constructivist entrepreneurship education. Whilst these concerns may impact how the educators’ approach the task, these concerns are only perceived, as the educators’ have not yet implemented the introduction of constructivist entrepreneurship education when other challenges may become evident.Originality/valueEncouragement by the Chinese Government to develop and deliver constructivist active and experiential entrepreneurship education has resulted in a number of tensions and challenges. Entrepreneurship education in China is still relatively young and under researched and this research contributes to the literature by exploring the challenges that educators face in developing and delivering constructivist entrepreneurship education in Chinese vocational colleges.

Folk art is widely supposed to have come to an end with the coming of urban, industrial society, but activities persist which may be termed ‘folk art’ and which include, for instance, ‘family art’ — the creating, by a family, of its own visual surroundings and traditions. Folk art is a people’s art; it affirms and renews personal, local, and community experience; it is a shared activity which does not elevate the role of the ‘artist’. But libraries by and large document fine art, and thus, at least by implication, are associated with its values and appear to have nothing to contribute to the kind of social change which may be necessary if people’s art is to flourish.The text of a paper delivered to art librarian members of the Danish Library Association in November 1972, published in Bibliotek 70, no. 2, 1973, pp. 31-34, and now published for the first time in English.

In order to study the role of English situational teaching in higher vocational colleges, based on information technology and artificial intelligence, this research combines with the needs of English teaching to construct a English situation teaching in higher vocational colleges with the support of 5G network technology and artificial intelligence. Moreover, this research builds a data processing model based on the system architecture diagram of cache placement, uses storage space and computing resources to save more backhaul link bandwidth, and adopts the “many to many” algorithm extended by the “one to many” algorithm, and uses the on-demand method to obtain scenario teaching data from the cloud. In addition, this research constructs the intermediate link of data processing, and uses 5G network transmission to solve the problem of data transmission speed. Finally, this study uses a controlled experiment to evaluate the effectiveness of the artificial intelligence teaching model constructed in this study. The research shows that the English situation teaching method based on 5G network technology and artificial intelligence in vocational colleges has a certain effect and can effectively improve the English scores of vocational college students.

Role Of Women

To obtain a deeper understanding about a society, it is important to look beyond the formal production of history and literature and consider fables, songs, folk poems, and proverbs which can reflect dimensions of the society that are usually neglected or forgotten about. Focusing on popular literature and folk art as a source of epistemological knowledge contributes to the construction of counter-narratives in Yemen. One of the major proponents of popular literature whose works serve as a key to understanding the conceptual worlds of the Yemeni people is the poet ʻAbd Allāh al-Baraddūnī (1929–1999). This blind scholar explored various types of popular literature and folk art in order to highlight the knowledge that generally is not documented but is an essential part of everyday life. Each of his genres has the ability to provide us with insights about Yemeni society such as forgotten historical events, the role of women in society, cultural beliefs, customs, practices, and historical events and circumstances that the society had to face. It is argued that, by focusing on the subaltern and marginal, al-Baraddūnī was anticipating trends in Western social science scholarship that have been apparent since the 1970s.

Имя Эрнста Людвига Кирхнера практически не рассматривается в ряду мастеров скульптуры. Однако, наряду с Эрнстом Барлахом и Вильгельмом Лембруком, он принадлежит к числу крупнейших мастеров скульптуры первой трети XX века. В статье рассматриваются различные периоды творчества художника и их отражение в искусстве скульптуры – от романтических увлечений народным искусством, в том числе африканским, и классического экспрессионизма до неореализма «Новой вещественности». Рассматриваются специфические особенности произведений пластики в зависимости от возможностей разного материала, их отношение к произведениям живописи, а также роль этого вида искусства в творчестве мастера. The name of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner is very seldom considered in the series of names of sculptures. However, together with names of Ernst Barlach and Wilhelm Lehmbruck, his name belongs to the numbers of the great sculptors of the first third of 20-th century. The article deals with the different periods of the masters work and demonstrate, how they reflect in sculpture: from early romantic enthusiasm for the folk art, including African art and classic expressionism to the neorealism in form of «New Objectivity»/«Neue Sachlichkeit». The author says about specificity of materials in sculpture objects of Kirchner, also their interaction with painting and about the role of plastic in art heritage of painter.

Мифологические песни-молитвословия занимают в устном народном творчестве осетин огромное место. Песни-молитвословия исполнялись в праздничные дни, за пиршественным столом, на свадьбе, в пути. Истоки мифологических песен-молитв восходят к традиционной застольной молитве и от них отличаются только наличием в тексте ритмики и рифмы. В молитвословных мифологических песнях можно выделить в особую категорию песни, которые звучат и как гимны, и как молитвы, отличаясь от последних развернутым сюжетом и законченной композицией. Семиозис нарратива мифологических песен-молитвословий никогда не становился объектом исследований, что не позволяло однозначно определять их место при нарратологическом анализе текстов. Исследуя мифологические песни, необходимо, прежде всего, отличать их «морфологию», структуру, чтобы с большей вероятностью выделить содержательно значимые компоненты. Описание принципов коммуникации мифологических нарративов базируется на разграничении сюжетных структур и дифференциации семиозиса мотивов. В зависимости от направленности жанровой стратегии мифологические песни осетин делятся на молитвословные, календарно-обрядовые, обрядовые, заклинательные и этиологические. В свою очередь молитвословные песни по формальным признакам можно разделить на песни-гимны (бессюжетные) и сюжетные. К молитвословным песням примыкают песни-заклинания. От заклинательных песен молитвословные песни отличаются развернутым сюжетом и композицией, а также объемом. Элемент заговора/заклинания присутствует в семантике и молитвословных песнях. Мифологическая песня изначально исполняла роль заговора/заклинания. Впоследствии, особенно нарастая сюжетом, мифологическая песня прошла путь развития от утилитарного мышления мифологическими образами до обращения к мифологическим образам как художественному приему. Mythological songs-prayers play an important role in the oral folk art of the Ossetians. Songs-prayers were performed on holidays, at a feast table, at weddings, on the road. The origins of mythological prayer songs go back to traditional table prayer and differ only in the presence of rhythm and rhyme in the text. In mythological songs-prayers it is possible to single out a special category of songs that sound both as hymns and as prayers, differing from the latter by an unfolding plot and finished composition. The semiosis of the narrative of mythological songs-prayers has never been an object of scientific research, which did not allow one to unequivocally determine their place in the narratologic analysis of texts. In investigating mythological songs it is necessary, first of all, to distinguish their "morphology", structure, in order to more presicely isolate meaningful significant components. The description of the principles of communication of mythological narratives is based on the delineation of plot structures and the differentiation of the semiosis of motives. Depending on the direction of the genre strategy, mythological songs of the Ossetians are divided into prayer, calendar-ritual, ritual, incantatory and etiological. In turn, prayer songs on formal grounds can be divided into songs-hymns (plotless) and plot. Songs-spells are attached to prayer songs. Prayer songs are distinguished from spell songs by a detailed plot and composition, as well as volume. The element of the plot / spell is present in the semantics and prayer songs. Mythological song originally played the role of plot / spell. Subsequently, the mythological song has evolved from utilitarian thinking to mythological images appealing to mythological images as an artistic device.
