Abstract

In order to train a large number of outstanding teachers, Chinese government has implemented the policy of public-funded normal education. Government-sponsored normal university students can enjoy a total tuition waiver, living allowance and employment security. Under the social background of China's difficult employment for university students, employment security has set government-sponsored normal university students at ease, as they no longer need to compete in universities for future job opportunities. From the perspective of the first-second classroom linkage, this research, with normal university undergraduates majoring in special education in Guangdong Province, China, as the investigation sample, explores the development of academic achievements under same learning environment between government-sponsored and non-government-sponsored students, so as to dissect whether there is a correlation between the academic achievement of government-sponsored students and employment security? It is found that the government-sponsored students had globally higher academic achievements in the first classroom than non-government-sponsored students, but had lower academic achievements in the second classroom, showing the conflicts in the development of the two classrooms. According to the facts, it is shown that government-sponsored students have stronger professional identity that non-government-sponsored students, and are actively engaged in the learning of the first classroom. However, the former have weaker endogenous power than the later. Employment security affects the government-sponsored students' academic achievements in the second classroom.
