Foreign Direct Investment and Capacity Building: The Different Attitudes and Results Experienced by Cambodia and Japan from an Historical to a Modern Perspective
(CamEd Business School, June 30, 2018) Peter Bainbridge
This paper will consider the processes and outcomes of two nations, Cambodia and Japan, in their quest for foreign ideas and people to assist in their development. It will also consider the preservation of national cultures while experiencing the actual presence of foreign nationals – with all the cultural and religious norms which come with people of radically different backgrounds and expectations. This paper compares the historical lessons to be learned from two countries, Cambodia and Japan from 1600 to the present day. There are remarkable similiarities (the same period of obscurity from the mid 17th Century to mid 19th Century) and the decade that both countries opened up to trade was the same: 1860s – although in quite different ways. These different ways of opening up and learning from the 200 ‘’missed’’ years provides deep insights into the way events shaped Japan and Cambodia and how those two countries shaped events.
Learning Styles: A primary data-based research using 127 student responses (of first semester history students) to questionnaires about their preferred senses for learning (visual, auditory or kinaesthetic) and student interviews
(CamEd Business School, December 30, 2018) Peter Bainbridge
This research is aimed at discovering how history students at CamEd, who are in their first semester, prefer to learn. This is a study of the three main senses (visual, auditory and kinaesthetic) used by learners and aims to find out which they rank as most important and therefore what classroom tasks would involve them most in the learning of history. The results are intended to inform the teacher as to how to enhance the learning and teaching environment inside and outside the history class. The interviews with students helped in producing ideas and checking the outcome of the questionnaire data.
Vestiges of the French Protectorate in Modern Day Cambodia
(CamEd Business School, June 30, 2019) Peter Bainbridge
This paper investigates the extent to which the 90 years of the French Protectorate (1863 to 1953) left influences on Cambodia today – despite the many and radical political interruptions since Cambodia became independent. It will seek to explain why some fragments of the French legacy continue to influence Cambodia and why some have faded or disappeared. It will also ask the question ‘What do Cambodians today think about the 90 year French Protectorate and believe is its lingering importance ?
