Siswa kelas satu sekolah dasar belum terbiasa dengan suasana di kelas barunya sehingga perlu penyesuaian dalam bersikap. Sangat terbatas sekali riset yang membahas tentang strategi guru membantu siswa menyesuaikan diri pada tahun pertama sekolah dasar khususnya daerah pedesaan yang memiliki sejumlah tantangan. Penelitian grounded theory, salah satu tradisi penelitian kualitatif, digunakan untuk mengembangkan penelitian ini. Total ada 18 siswa SD yang mulai tahun pertama masuk sekolah tahun ini. Data observasi dikumpulkan dari para peserta. Setelah mendapatkan semua izin yang diperlukan dari sekolah setempat, anak-anak yang berpartisipasi, guru, dan orang tua, dilakukan observasi. Analisis data dilakukan dalam tiga tahap: Open Coding, Axial Coding, dan Selective Coding. Hasil riset ini menunjukkan bahwa pada konteks sekolah dasar pedesaan, guru dapat melakukan 10 strategi membantu siswa melakukan penyesuaian sikap. Strategi-strategi tersebut adalah aturan untuk ijin berbicara, komunikasi interpersonal, pemberian pujian dan self evaluation, menjanjikan reward, pemberian tugas yang dikerjakan bersama “lawan”, guru, atau mandiri, menanamkan konsep sharing is caring, pemberian contoh dan acuan dari teman sebaya, dan melihati siswa

Strategi Guru Membantu Siswa dalam Melakukan Penyesuaian Sikap: Studi pada Siswa Tahun Pertama Sekolah Dasar Pedesaan

Background: Declining birth rates have become a challenge for many countries around the world. This study aimed to analyze the influencing factors of the sustainable development of the maternity insurance system and find ways to promote higher birth rates. Methods: We used four multi-stakeholder workshops and in-depth interviews to bring together three groups of people: maternity insurance system developers, implementers, and researchers. Then, we analyzed the factors influencing the sustainability of the maternity insurance system using grounded theory. Results: In this study, the most powerful and effective intervention measures for China in the short term include the policy of merging national health insurance with maternity insurance and a dynamic payment rate policy. In the long term, expanding the coverage of the maternity insurance system and improving the management level of the maternity insurance fund are effective intervention measures. Conclusion: This study subdivides the factors influencing the sustainable development of the maternity insurance system, which has certain theoretical significance and can be used as the theoretical basis for quantitative and empirical research model construction in the future.

The social venture ecosystem is important for the growth and sustainability of social ventures. This study aims to expand our understanding of the sustainable success and growth of social ventures by analyzing both their internal and external factors using interviews with social venture entrepreneurs and stakeholders in the ecosystem. A qualitative research method is employed to examine the interviewees’ perspectives, and the data were analyzed using the framework of grounded theory. The three-step grounded theory process was performed via open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. The study findings are drawn by organizing the outline according to this coding method. Entrepreneurs’ awareness and willingness to solve social problems led to a sense of challenge, and the formation and maintenance of business models in the preparation stage positively affected the performance of social ventures through internal corporate resources and external cooperation. The study is of academic significance in that it presents a diversified dynamic concept of sustainability of social ventures compared to previous studies, which have been only fragmented studies. It also presents a number of managerial implications for sustainable development and the constant growth of social ventures.

The Sustainable Success and Growth of Social Ventures: Their Internal and External Factors

This study examines the professional characteristics and migrant networks of Korean–Chinese returnees. A notable feature of the current Korean–Chinese migrant group in Korea is the emergence of third generation tour guides. The in-depth interviews with 12 third generation Korean–Chinese tour guides were conducted and analyzed within the grounded theory framework. A total of 110 concepts in 27 subcategories making up 11 main categories are derived. The results of axial coding indicated that the causal condition was ‘to become a tour guide in Korea’. The central phenomena that have been emerging in the characteristics and migrant networks of third generation Korean–Chinese tour guides are ‘nostalgia’ and ‘our stressful life in Korea’. Contextual conditions are ‘socio-cultural distance’ and the ‘vulnerabilities of the job environment’, while the intervening conditions are ‘transnational networks’, ‘use of SNS (Social network system)’, ‘colleagues like family’, and ‘comfortable life’. Actions/interactions are moderated by ‘migrant networks’ and consequences are shown to be ‘identity formation’. The core category of this study is thus ‘embracing socio-cultural realities and forming diverse identities through migrant networks’. This study provides theoretical and managerial implications for the sustainable and professional characteristics and migrant networks of third generation Korean–Chinese tour guides.
