Long-term analysis of a savings program in elementary school

The prevalence of in-school savings programs (ISSPs) for children and youth is widespread, but research on their effectiveness is limited. This study investigates the long-term effects of an ISSP conducted in one U.S. elementary school. Survey data were collected on the financial behaviors of high school students, who participated in or did not participate in an ISSP while attending the same elementary school at the same time. The results from a probit analysis of data controlling for demographic variables showed that ISSP participants compared with non-participants were more likely to have a bank account in high school. They also were more likely to have opened a bank account before attending high school. Further results show that high school students with bank accounts are more likely to save regularly, indicating that ISSP contributes indirectly to saving regularly through its direct influence on getting students to open a bank account and open it early.

History didactics tries to use various information channels, but these are the ones that are currently undergoing turbulent changes. This paper reports how the digital era has affected the distribution of knowledge from history and its impact on the behaviour of high school students. According to a 2020 survey, students between the ages of 16 and 19 spent an average of 5 hours and 15 minutes a day on their smartphones, which is almost the same as the time they spend in school. Thanks to research carried out by mobile operators, we have the chance to get to know Generation Z in the broader context and the opportunity to use its habits in history lessons. The article also includes some options for transforming modern technology into an ally of educators and what data captured in digital channels can be used for.

Literacy Education in the Post-Truth Era: The Pedagogical Potential of Multiliteracies

Current literacy curriculum often reflects an emphasis on traditions of print literacy. This focus is a concern in the post-truth era, as youth engage in diverse meaning-making practices that shape their habits as consumers and producers of information. This in-depth case study investigated the in-class and at-home online behaviors of high school students. We find that even when explicit learning about ‘research’ occurred in class, students are lacking sense-making strategies in their personal online engagements. We also find that curriculum relies on tradition with very little recognition of (multi)literacies as socially constructed and that teachers desire more professional development and guidance about how to engage these literacies more holistically.

Assessing the Influence of Policy and Institutional Frameworks on the Effectiveness of Environmental Programmes in Selected Secondary Schools in Murang’a County, Kenya

Environmental degradation is a major challenge which requires appropriate strategies to reverse the situation. One of such strategies is experiential environmental education in high schools which give students an opportunity to participate in various environmental activities which in turn changes their change of attitudes and conservation behaviour. In this study, the influence of such experiential programmes was assessed with regards to their influence on pro-environmental attitudes and behaviour of high school students in Murang’a County, Kenya. The study also assessed the institutional and policy frameworks on which the programmes are anchored using secondary data mainly through literature review of policy documents. For the effectiveness of environmental programmes in school, nine hundred and sixty-one (961) students from nineteen (19) high schools from two sub-counties in the County were sampled in the study. The Likert type questionnaire and the 2-MEV Scale were used to collect the required data. The t-test statistic was applied to determine any differences between the variables. Results showed significant differences in pro-environmental attitudes and behaviour with regard to solid waste management, water resources management, natural resources management between members of Environmental Clubs and non-members. It is concluded that the experiential environmental programmes improve the student’s pro-environmental attitudes and behaviour and hence environmental management within the schools, they lack the requisite institutional and policy framework to support it enhanced environmental literacy. It is recommended that appropriate policies to enhance the implementation of school experiential environmental programmes be formulated to ensure capacity building of the learners to effectively manage environmental issues in the schools and their community.

Modelling the Income Elasticity of Demand of Different Beverages among CBC Hefei No.1 Secondary School Students in the Context of Covid-19

This paper aims to analyze the influence of the Covid-19 pandemic on consumer behavior of high school students as a social group with no independent regular income. As the sources for data collection, we obtained the empirical sales data set of two beverage categories at an on-campus provision store run by students, representing inferior and luxury goods, respectively. We then took the periodic trends at times of the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak, transformed data basis into graphical representation,d and manipulated the data set with a mathematical modeling technique to approximate of students’ choice in a relatively precise manner. From which we draw the conclusion based on our mathematical model and found its approximation to the demand elasticity curve of inferior vs. luxury goods from an economic perspective. The seamless integration of mathematical approach and behavioral economic analysis could produce a more concise pattern of consumers’ choice during this special time of the epidemic.

Intervening at the Right Level to Improve Student Health: An Analysis of Levels of Influence on Sexual Behavior of High School Students.

This study adopts a socio-ecological framework and examines school- and district-level influences on sexual behaviors among high school students from 16 school districts that were federally funded to conduct a school-based, multilevel sexual health program. We drew cross-sectional data from the 2015 and 2017 Youth Risk Behavior Survey from funded school districts containing 648 schools and 101,728 students. We used multilevel modeling to determine the percentage of variance in sexual health outcomes explained at school and district levels, overall and by race/ethnicity and biological sex. We found protective behaviors such as using hormonal birth control had considerable district-level variance (10.1%) while sexual risk behaviors such as having multiple sex partners showed considerable school-level variance (12.7%). We also found significant subgroup heterogeneity in the variance. Findings indicate school-based interventions should address all levels of influences of the educational system to effectively improve a myriad of student sexual health outcomes.

Problematic Behaviors and Predicting Online Risk Behaviors in High School Students.

Adolescent behavior now occurs offline and online. Frequently studied and treated independently, the relationship between offline problem behaviors and online risk taking is not well understood. This study asked whether there are any problematic behaviors predictive of online risk taking by high school students. Using a 2009 dataset of 2,077 high school students grades 9-12, five areas of offline problematic behaviors were examined: Academic problems, anxiety, behavioral wrongdoing, bullying, and social-emotional. Nine binary results were classified as online risk: Sexting, online harassment (perpetrating and experiencing), visiting sex sites, talking about sex, receiving sexual pictures, meeting offline, anything sexual happened, feeling nervous or uncomfortable. Behavioral wrongdoing (fighting, school suspension, trouble with police, theft), emerged as a significant predictor appearing in all nine models, followed by bullying experience (bully or victim) in six models. Identifying common problem behaviors that predict online risk taking are key components in developing strategies to promote adolescent health and well-being.

Do School-Level Factors Affect the Health Behaviors of High School Students in Korea?

We conducted a multilevel analysis to identify the individual- and school-level factors that affect Korean high school students’ tooth brushing, soda intake, smoking, and high-intensity physical activity. We sampled 27,919 high school students from the 15th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey. The individual-level variables included demographic, socioeconomic, and health-related factors. The school-level variables included school system and school type. Regarding the individual-level factors, economic level and academic performance had a significant effect on health behavior when the demographic variables were adjusted. In the final model, the school-level factors had a significant effect on health behavior. The odds ratio (OR) of brushing less than twice a day in vocational schools compared to general schools was 1.63 (p < 0.001), and the OR of soda intake more than three times a week in vocational schools was 1.33 (p < 0.001). In addition, the OR of smoking in vocational schools was 2.89 (p < 0.001), and the OR of high-intensity physical activity in vocational schools was 0.80 (p < 0.001). Therefore, both individual- and school-level factors affect Korean students’ health behaviors. A school-based comprehensive health promotion strategy should be developed that considers schools’ characteristics to equip all students with health awareness, regardless of socioeconomic status.

Predictive effect of self-efficacy and psychological resilience on sportsmanship behavior in high school students

The aim of the research is to examine the predictive effects of self-efficacy and psychological resilience on sportsmanship behavior in high school students. The study group consisted of 605 students who were studying in two state secondary schools in Turkey. In the study, the "Physical Education Course Sportsmanship Behavior Scale", the "Selfefficacy Scale for Children", the "Child and Youth Resilience Measure” and a personal information form created by the researcher were used. The effect of students' self-efficacy and psychological resilience levels on their sportsmanship behaviors was examined by Path Analysis. The analysis results also showed that social self-efficacy significantly affected positive sportsmanship behaviors, and academic self-efficacy affected negative sportsmanship behaviors. When the Squared Multiple Correlations value of the model is considered, it is seen that 5% of positive sportsmanship behaviors and 4% of negative sportsmanship behaviors are explained by the model. As a result, it was found that the social self-efficacy level of the students was a significant predictor of positive sportsmanship behaviors, and the academic self-efficacy level was a significant predictor of negative sportsmanship behaviors. It was determined that the model designed in the research explained the sportsmanship behavior of the students at a low level.

Lifestyle Behaviors and Suicide-Related Behaviors in Adolescents: Cross-Sectional Study Using the 2019 YRBS Data.

Objective: The purpose of this research was to investigate the prevalence of lifestyle behaviors and suicide-related behaviors and the association between them using a nationally representative sample of adolescents from the USA.Methods: 13,677 high school students aged 14-18 years were included in this cross-sectional study. The research data were retrieved from the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System Survey in 2019. All data on age, sex, grade, race, physical activity, television time, fruit intake, and suicide-related behavior were self-reported by students. Logistic regression models were adopted to examine the association between lifestyle behaviors and the suicide-related behaviors.Results: Students who played video/computer games for ≥2 h had higher risk of suicide attempt (OR = 1.55, 95%CI: 1.30-1.85). Daily sleep duration of ≤8 h was positively associated with considering a suicide attempt (OR = 1.99, 95%CI: 1.62-2.43). In addition, participants who did not engage in any sport team were more likely to report considering a suicide attempt (OR = 1.50, 95%CI: 1.24-1.81).Conclusion: This research suggests that some lifestyle behaviors (e.g., time for video or computer use, sleep duration, sports team participation, regular breakfast intake, and substance use) are associated with increased risk of suicidal behavior and ideation in high school students. To identify the specific effect of multiple lifestyle factors in influencing the risk of suicide-related behaviors in high school students, longitudinal studies are warranted in future.
