“…Throughout the process, she ensured that original source language was not lost, and that cultural relevance was maintained. She took care to avoid preconceived ideas seeping into the analysis (Yu & Lee, 2004;Larkin, Casterle & Schotsmans, 2007;Shklarov, 2007). Finally she asked another Cantonese-speaking researcher to review the translated version and cross-check for cultural relevance in the meanings of words.…”

“…88 10 that interpreters were removed from the role of "shadowy figure" (Temple, 2002) and considered legitimate co-researchers in all phases of data collection and analysis. Also, the articulation of the background of the interpreters lends to greater credibility and trustworthiness of their "hybrid" roles as "analysts and cultural brokers" (Larkin, Dierckx de Casterlé, & Schotsmans, 2007;Matteson & Lincoln, 2009). My co-researchers were a male professor with over 20 years of experience in educational research and three female Master's students at East China Normal University (ECNU).…”

Abstract:The Chinese province of Shanghai has gained international recognition as a high performing education system with strong teaching and learning outcomes. One accountability mechanism in Shanghai's education reform strategy is statewide performance-based compensation (PBC), also known as performance-or merit pay. Providing a first time account of PBC in the Shanghai context, this study investigated variance in stated and perceived aims of this policy instrument. To explore this variance, the study drew on data from national, state, and school level policy documents, and data from interviews with 20 teachers and the principal in a high performing elementary school. The analysis revealed that PBC was intended to improve teaching quality. However, the teachers' perceived merit pay was meant to increase teacher enthusiasm, job Education Policy Analysis Archives Vol. 25 No. 88 2 satisfaction, and participation in teacher and student development activities. Importantly, the teachers perceived these aims as tangential from instructional improvement goals. Based on these findings, I argue that this particular PBC policy, as a manifestation of the marriage of standardization and incentivism, is unable to fulfill the promises of this marriage -to link incentives with homogenous, uniform metrics associated with a generic and shared notion of teaching quality. Keywords: Performance-based compensation; merit pay; Shanghai, teacher accountability Una unión fracasada entre estandarización e incentivismo: Perspectivas divergentes sobre los objetivos de la compensación basada en el desempeño en Shanghai, China Resumen: La provincia china de Shangai ha ganado reconocimiento internacional como un sistema educativo de alto rendimiento con fuertes resultados de enseñanza y aprendizaje.

El análisis reveló que la PBC pretendía mejorar la calidad de la enseñanza. Sin embargo, percibido pago por mérito de los profesores fue significada de aumentar el entusiasmo de profesores, satisfacción en el trabajo y alumno y profesor participación en actividades de desarrollo. Importante, los profesores percibieron esos objetivos como tangentes a los objetivos de mejora instruccional. En base a estos resultados, y argumenta que esta política PBC particular, como una manifestación del matrimonio de estandarización e incentivismo, es incapaz de cumplir las promesas de este matrimonio -para vincular incentivos con métricas homogéneas y uniformes asociadas a una noción ...

“…Therefore by having the option to further analyze the text in its original language, the researcher was able to understand the concept forwarded by the participants in a culturally relevant context. The translator had good cultural background understanding of all two cultures of interest and was culturally informed to be able to conceptualize the contextual meaning of the interviews, as suggested by literature [33].…”

Augmented buying power of East Asian consumers has resulted in increased interest in these markets. Wine is a particularly promising sector to target as the number of East Asians choosing to drink wine rises. In order to serve these markets, companies must understand factors influencing consumers' choices. The objective of this research was to understand how Taiwanese and Malaysian consumers' personal values influenced their consumption decisions about wine. The means-end chain framework and associated semi-structured interview technique, value laddering, was used to elicit consumers' preferred product attributes, the consequences of these attributes and the values that underpin these consequences. Data collection involved intercepting foreign travelers from Malaysia and Taiwan in New Zealand (20 Taiwanese and 20 Malaysian) to partake in a wine choice interview. The resulting findings are exploratory in nature. Analysis revealed the most preferred wine attributes for Taiwanese were "Price" and "Sensory Aspects"-that these attributes were linked to consequences "Financial Considerations" and "Satisfy Senses"-which in turn were linked to personal values "Self Direction" and "Achievement". For the Malaysian participants, the attribute "Sensory Aspects" of wine was most important, as was the value "Hedonism". This study adds to literature related to beverage consumption decision making by exploring cultural aspects. It also offers suggestions for practitioners interested in targeting these consumers.
