This study examines whether government initiatives aimed at promoting educational equity in China may be weakened or counteracted by forces that sustain or recreate educational inequality. Although recent policies such as the cancellation of demonstration schools and the implementation of the “double reduction” policy seek to reduce disparities, theories of Maximally Maintained Inequality (MMI) and Effectively Maintained Inequality (EMI) suggest that socioeconomically advantaged families often adopt strategic behaviors to preserve their competitive edge. Using data from the 2014–2015 China Education Panel Survey (CEPS), this study analyzes 10,751 eighth-grade students and employs both OLS and Probit regression models to assess how educational costs and educational balance influence families’ choices regarding shadow education products. The results indicate that even when opportunities appear more equal, high-SES families continue to obtain advantages through selective and resource-driven participation in shadow education, thereby sustaining existing inequalities. Furthermore, policies intended to reduce educational costs and promote fairness have unintentionally encouraged greater consumption of shadow education services, leading to new forms of inequality. These findings highlight that government-driven efforts to achieve educational equity may be undermined by persistent consumption-based mechanisms of inequality, suggesting that current reforms may be insufficient to fully realize equitable educational outcomes

The economics of standards (EOS) plays a critical role in improving product quality, stabilizing markets, and enhancing efficiency, yet its integration into tertiary-level economics education remains limited. This study aims to address this gap by proposing a comprehensive CMFS pedagogical framework—encompassing content, mode, faculty, and students—to guide the development of EOS teaching in higher education. Using a qualitative review of international policy documents, institutional practices, and China’s emerging EOS education initiatives, the study analyzes how standards-related knowledge is currently positioned within tertiary economics curricula and identifies barriers to effective implementation. The findings show that EOS has not yet been systematically incorporated into university-level economics programs, largely due to insufficient research, limited course offerings, and inadequate faculty expertise. Global organizations have begun introducing EOS elements into economics education plans, and China has taken early steps to embed standards into tertiary-level teaching and research. The proposed CMFS framework provides practical approaches for strengthening EOS pedagogy, including integrating EOS modules into existing economics courses, diversifying teaching methods, and building faculty capacity. The study concludes that coordinated efforts among governments, educational institutions, industry stakeholders, standards bodies, and international organizations are essential to advance EOS education. Strengthening multidisciplinary and cross-border collaboration will support deeper theoretical development and enhance the long-term contribution of EOS teaching to the evolution of economics education.

Global tourism is projected to fully recover by 2024, presenting a significant opportunity for the tourism and hospitality industry worldwide. However, companies in this sector continue to face challenges such as a turbulent external environment, high competitiveness, and a lack of confidence in the industry’s recovery. To address these challenges, companies must focus on service innovation and improving their service innovation performance (SIP). Exploring SIP at the individual level is crucial because individual innovation is the foundation of organizational SIP. Based on the resource-based view (RBV), the knowledge-based view (KBV) and contingency theory, this study constructs the research paradigm of "internal and external innovation environment-individual capability-innovation performance" and puts forward the conceptual model of this study. This study aims to clarify the influence mechanism of internal and external innovation environment factors on service innovation performance at the individual level. A total of 417 questionnaires were collected for analysis from middle and senior management employees of star hotels in China. The results showed that there are direct and indirect effects on both paths of knowledge sharing and technology turbulence and SIP, with information literacy playing a mediating role; Furthermore, the study suggests that market turbulence has a positive moderating effect on the relationship between technology turbulence and information literacy. These findings have both practical and theoretical implications.

This study aims to develop an e-module–assisted simulation learning model to enhance the communication skills of Office Management students at SMK Teuku Umar Semarang, where existing learning practices do not employ simulation-based approaches and the learning resources used are not yet aligned with students’ needs. Using a Research and Development (R&D) design, the study adopts the 4D development model—Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate—to produce and validate the proposed learning innovation. The subjects of this research were Grade XI students in the Office Management expertise competency. Product feasibility was assessed by two material experts and one media expert, followed by limited and extended trials to evaluate the e-module’s effectiveness. The results show that current Communication in the Workplace learning does not provide sufficient opportunities for students to practice workplace communication and lacks integration with interactive digital resources. The developed e-module received a validation score of 96% from material experts and 100% from media experts, indicating strong feasibility for instructional use. Trial findings further demonstrated substantial improvements in student learning outcomes, with average N-Gain scores of 0.751 in the limited trial and 0.791 in the extended trial. In conclusion, the e-module is effective and suitable as a digital learning medium to support simulation-based instruction and strengthen students’ communication skills. These results highlight the potential of technology-supported simulation models to enhance vocational education quality and better prepare students for workplace communication demands

The phenomenon of consumerism has spread in society, including among teenagers who tend to show consumptive behavior due to a preference for novelty and the process of finding self-identity. Therefore, students as a group of highly educated teenagers need to develop self-control skills in consuming to avoid uncontrolled consumptive behavior. The purpose of this study is to analyze consumptive behaviors including financial literacy, social environment, self-control and buying interest. The data collection technique used questionnaires, while the data analysis technique used percentage descriptive analysis, inferential statistics, and multiple linear regression analysis. The results of the study show that financial literacy, social environment, and self-control have a positive effect on consumptive behavior. And the buying interest variable has been proven to play a mediator role in consumptive behavior. The advice given is for students to learn to increase awareness in responding to discounts, understand the financial landscape, pay attention to consumer reviews and testimonials, develop self-control, and foster rational buying interest. This study also advises future researchers to develop broader research statements and variables to strengthen the relevance of the research results and theories used.

Semarang Batik Village is one of the leading batik centers in Central Java, with significant cultural and economic potential. However, it continues to face challenges related to production, marketing, capital, and partnerships. This study aims to formulate development strategies for Batik Khas Semarangan MSMEs using the Business Model Canvas (BMC) framework, which comprises nine key components of a business model. A descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with MSME actors, direct observations, and documentation. The data were then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive analysis technique and organized according to the BMC framework to produce adaptive and sustainable development strategies. The results indicate that: (1) the production strategy emphasizes preserving local batik motifs—such as Warak Ngendog—and regenerating artisans through culturally based training; (2) the marketing strategy focuses on digitalizing distribution channels and integrating cultural storytelling into promotional content; (3) the capital strategy highlights the diversification of funding sources and the strengthening of financial literacy among business actors; and (4) the partnership strategy encourages crosssector collaboration with government agencies, educational institutions, and the creative industries. Overall, the findings demonstrate the value of the BMC as an analytical tool that not only maps the internal structure of MSMEs but also supports the development of applicable, locally grounded, and market-responsive strategies.

Consumptive behavior refers to the tendency of individuals or groups to purchase goods and services excessively for purposes beyond basic needs, often to express identity or achieve personal satisfaction. This study aims to analyze the influence of peers, social media, self-control, and financial literacy on the consumptive behavior of Economic Education students at Universitas Negeri Semarang with lifestyle as a mediating variable. Using a quantitative approach, the research involved 195 students selected from a population of 381. Data were collected through a validated and reliable questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, path analysis, and the Sobel test. The findings show that lifestyle significantly mediates the effects of peers, social media, self-control, and financial literacy on consumptive behavior. The results imply that students should be more selective in responding to peer influence, social media exposure, and advertising stimuli, while also developing stronger self-control and financial literacy through workshops, seminars, or training programs. Strengthening these aspects can help students make more rational financial decisions and reduce tendencies toward consumptive behavior.
