The article explores the community nature of the parish, emphasising the importance of spiritual values, moral development and fostering a sense of responsibility among young people. By analysing the existing research and publications on this topic, particularly in the Ukrainian academic sphere, the article aims to fill a gap in understanding and provide valuable information for educators, clergy and other stakeholders involved in the upbringing and education of young people. Ultimately, this comprehensive analysis sheds light on the potential of the parish as a transformative space for the holistic development of young people, offering practical conclusions and guidance for those who seek to educate the next generation in the Christian spirit.

Assessment, creativity and learning: A personal perspective

AbstractThis paper presents a personal view (a view coloured by my cultural environment and upbringing) of young people's education. I look in particular at assessment practices and detail my understanding of the nature of learning, focusing on creativity and the tensions associated with schooling and creative behaviour. Drawing upon and developing my earlier work in the light of further research and experience, I give an overview of assessment practices and approaches to teaching and learning and argue for a learner‐centred approach with a focus on practical work and an environment that promotes creative problem‐solving across the whole curriculum. A pedagogical strategy is presented that is based on four areas of activity: reacting, researching, responding, and reflecting.

Kiai Pesantren Leadership in Internalizing the Independence Attitude of Students

Background: Indonesia is one of the countries that is prone to earthquakes, especially tectonic earthquakes, because of its geographical location between three large plates. As an Indonesian society, studying natural phenomena from an early age is very important. Therefore, the involvement of educated young people is needed to minimize the impact of earthquakes. Stacked (Stacko for Education) is present as a learning medium for earthquake disaster preparedness based on card games derived from paper waste. The Uno card comes from recycled paper. After that, paper is used to print cards containing questions about earthquake disaster preparedness. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze programs, program implementation, elaborate on internalization and contribution, leadership impact, program evaluation and supporting and inhibiting factors of kiai pesantren efforts in internalizing the independence attitude of students. Method: The approach chosen in this study is a qualitative approach with analytical descriptive methods. Results: shows that: First, the kiai leadership program consists of learning programs, training programs and practice in the field. Second, the implementation of the program is carried out by providing exemplary attitudes, providing motivation, and instilling positive behaviors, especially in the individuals of students. Third, internalization and contribution of kiai leadership by adhering to the values of honesty through, candid and objective speech impacts the attitudes and behaviors of saritri to be honest not manipulative, especially in entrepreneurship. Fourth, the impact is the growth of the spirit of independence of students through the management process of pesantren education to foster and realize the independence attitude and entrepreneurial skills of students. Fifth, program evaluation is carried out through non-attitude scale tests. Sixth, Inhibiting factors, there is a public view that pesantren are not to give birth to entrepreneurs but to produce scholars, the lack of resources (human and natural), equipment, raw materials and capital / finance pesantren, lack of partnership institutions and business capital pesantren. And the supporting factors, there are: support of facilities and infrastructure; support from kiai and ustadz for their students to become independent students; through education and training; The learning process from the pesantren experience that began with direct practical activities in the field students also wanted to follow in the footsteps of the founder kiai. Conclusion: Pesantren as an education provider has advantages compared to other educational institutions.

The case for assessing oracy in primary and secondary schools in England

Abstract The recognition of the importance of supporting children to learn to, and through, talk (often referred to as ‘oracy’) increasingly has prominence in educational and political discourse. However in the past decade the assessment of spoken language has been removed from GCSE exams, and nothing has replaced this vital measure of communication at a fundamental point in young people's progression. This article argues that this has helped to ensure oracy - speaking and listening - remains on the periphery, when increasingly evidence indicates that it should be central to all children and young people's education.

Individual placement and support focusing on employment and education for young people at clinical high risk of psychosis: A feasibility study.

This study aimed to assess the feasibility of implementing Individual Placement and Support (IPS) with a focus on educational and employment goals, within a clinical service for the early detection of individuals at clinical high risk (CHR) of psychosis. Between June 2019 and April 2021, participants were recruited and received up to 6 (± 2) months support. Primary outcome: Enrolled participants, attended sessions, and disengagement rates were analyzed to assess feasibility. Enrollment in mainstream education or/and employment, hours spent working or/and studying, salary, level of functioning, and self-efficacy at baseline and follow-up were compared. Thirty-one participants were recruited, 13 of whom were remotely recruited after the first COVID-19 lockdown. Dropout rates were relatively low (16.1%), and 26 participants (83.9%) completed the program. Each participant received on average nine sessions (M = 9.65; SD = 4.92). Secondary outcomes: At follow-up, 73.1% participants were employed, working on average more hours per week, t(25) = -2.725; p = .012, and were earning significantly more money, t(25) = -3.702; p = .001, compared to baseline. Gains in educational outcomes were less clear. Global Assessment of Functioning, t = 248.50; p = .001, and Social Occupational Functioning, t(25) = -3.273; p = .003, were significantly higher at 6-month follow-up compared to baseline. No differences were found in participants' self-efficacy. Findings indicate that research procedures are appropriate and that IPS implementation within a CHR clinical team is feasible. Secondary outcomes also suggest that IPS may be a beneficial intervention for young people at CHR. A longer follow-up might be needed to assess its impact on educational outcomes.

Employment Mobility in East Java During the COVID-19 Pandemic

The study examines the mobility of workers between the formal and informal sectors in East Java, Indonesia. The potential mobilities of workers are examined, not only from the formal to informal sector and from informal to formal sector, but also the movement of new entrants (who do not have a job in the past) to the formal-informal sector jobs. Using the 2021 National Labor Force Survey (SAKERNAS), the study contributes to the literature by examining the mobilities in the case of developing countries during an economic downturn during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study is essential in supporting the policies in the region with the existence of a large informal sector in the labor market. Using probit regression, the study found that workers who have previously worked in the formal sector are more likely to enter (re-enter) formal sector employment when the economy starts recovering in 2021. In contrast, workers previously employed in the informal sector have a lower probability of moving to the formal sector. The study continues examining the implications of the different income levels of formal and informal sector workers. The results using Heckman's bias correction selection show that new entrants (workers who have no job previously or freshly graduated) earn more earnings than workers who have previously been employed in the formal-informal sector. One possible reason is the role of digitalization and working-from-home activities that might support, particularly young educated people, to work productively during the pandemic.

ECOLINGUISTICS AND THE EDUCATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE

Most ecolinguistic analysis is conducted with texts produced for the general public. This article explores the use of ecolinguistics in the education of young people. The analysis focuses on young people’s media, specifically focusing on films. Two children’s movies (The Lorax and Back to the Outback) are analyzed using the ecolinguistic concept of stories we live by and the ecojustice concept of intersectionality. This analysis is undertaken to explicate these concepts in the hope that others will employ these same concepts to analyze other texts. These example analyses are explained about classroom practice and generating “noticing” as a learning outcome. Finally, five further techniques for involving students and others in ecolinguistic and ecojustice analysis are described. This article gives important insight into practical tools that can benefit teachers and students in the classroom. Additionally, children’s films and other media developed for children and youths may also be useful for the enjoyment and education of adults.

Maternal depressive symptoms and young people's higher education participation and choice of university: Evidence from a longitudinal cohort study

BackgroundParticipation in higher education has significant and long-lasting consequences for people's socioeconomic trajectories. Maternal depression is linked to poorer educational achievement for children in school, but its impact on university attendance is unclear. MethodsIn an English longitudinal cohort study (N = 8952), we explore whether young people whose mothers experienced elevated depressive symptoms are less likely to attend university, and the role of potential mediators in the young person: educational achievement in school, depressive symptoms, and locus of control. We also examine whether maternal depressive symptoms influence young people's choice of university, and non-attendees' reasons for not participating in higher education. ResultsYoung people whose mothers experienced more recurrent depressive symptoms were less likely to attend university (OR = 0.88, CI = 0.82,0.94, p < 0.001) per occasion of elevated maternal depressive symptoms) after adjusting for confounders. Mediation analysis indicated this was largely explained by educational achievement in school (e.g., 82.7 % mediated by age 16 achievement) and locus of control at 16. There was mixed evidence for an impact on choice of university. For participants who did not study at university, maternal depressive symptoms were linked to stating as a reason having had other priorities to do with family or children (OR: 1.17, CI = 1.02,1.35). LimitationsLack of data on the other parent's depression, loss to follow-up, possibly selective non-response. ConclusionsYoung people whose mothers experience elevated depressive symptoms on multiple occasions are less likely to participate in higher education; educational achievement in secondary school, but not the young people's own depressive symptoms, substantially mediated the effect.

Prevalence of hepatitis B and C, knowledge and attitude towards voluntary blood donation among secondary school teachers in Calabar, Nigeria

Introduction: Blood for transfusion or biopharmaceutical medication is obtained through blood donation. It is an indispensable component of health that contributes to saving lives since blood/blood products are unique. A major source of safe blood is voluntary non-remunerated blood donors. Considering the role of teachers in the education of young people in the populace, this study aims to provide information on knowledge and attitude toward blood donation and the prevalence of Hepatitis B and C among secondary school teachers in Calabar, Nigeria. Methods: With ethical approval and informed consent obtained, a total of 200 apparently healthy teachers and staff were recruited from five secondary schools in Calabar. Structured questionnaires were pre-tested among twenty (20) staff of the University of Calabar before being administered to the study subjects. Blood was collected and screened for the presence of hepatitis B and C using the standard strip method. Data obtained were analyzed using the Chi-square test on SPSS version 21 and p&lt;0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The study subjects comprised males (49.5%) and females (50.5%) with 38% being between the ages of 27-37 years. The majority (67.5%) had attained tertiary education while the remaining 32.5% had secondary education. The prevalence of Hepatitis B and C was observed to be 10% and 4% respectively among the study population and this is comparable to the prevalence in the general population. Ninety-five percent of participants think voluntary blood donation is good with 100% affirming that it is important yet only 10% had actually donated blood; eight percent had received blood transfusion previously. A good number (87% and 65%) were willing to donate for a family member and for a stranger in case of emergency. Eighty-four and a half percent of respondents think that blood donation is beneficial, 78% think there is a lack of awareness while 70% would advise others to donate blood voluntarily. Of the 200 participants, 66% believe blood donation to be a civic duty yet 82% and 85.5% respectively were of the opinion that blood donors should be paid or given gifts; indeed 83% agreed they would donate blood if they are paid. None of the respondents were against blood donation however 13% believed it poses a risk of collapse or death to the donor. Conclusions: This study has shown that the prevalence of Hepatitis B and C among secondary school teachers in Calabar is 10% and 4% respectively. Secondary school teachers in the study area have fair knowledge of blood donation, and agree that it is important but are not willing to donate without renumeration. Lack of voluntary non-renumerated blood donation leads to a shortage of safe blood for transfusion and will promote commercial donation with associated risks. There is a need for regular awareness campaigns and blood drives among the populace.

Educator and Mentor Are Key Figures in Formation of Educational-Technological National Sovereignty

Introduction. The loss of the domestic education system’s world leadership has contributed to a sharp decline in the social status of a teacher. The imbalances in the sphere of upbringing-education led to the deformation of the economy and reduction of national security of the state. However, the beginning of a special military operation to protect the lives of civilians of the Donetsk and Lugansk Peopleʼs Republics in Ukraine has revised the problem of restoring and building up the educational-technological sovereignty of the country. The purpose of the article is to analyze the current problems in the sphere of education and training of young people, to identify old and new roles of the teacher-mentor and the degree of influence of the institute of mentoring on the formation of educationaltechnological sovereignty of the country. Materials and Methods. When analyzing and summarizing the most significant works devoted to both timetested and new models of modern mentoring, as well as substantiating and synthesizing the concept of “educational and technological sovereignty”, the authors relied on historical and interdisciplinary approaches, the principles of “educational education” by I. Herbart, the ideological legacy of K. D. Ushinsky on “public education”, the developments of domestic philosophical, sociological, psychological and pedagogical schools, the experience accumulated in the country in the upbringing and education of young people and adults. Results. The study of the problem of the formation of the educational and technological sovereignty of the country proves that mentoring as a developing social technology improves the conditions for the local circulation of professional information in society. Adequate to the tasks of “public education” and “educational education”, it contributes to the formation of a holistic picture of the world among young people in the course of a direct exchange of cultural, historical, scientific, technological, spiritual and moral knowledge-codes between the subjects of interaction (mentor and ward). Mentoring models work well in management, scientific, educational, industrial, technological and cultural spheres, in healthcare, social security, and the spiritual and religious environment, blocking threats to the national security of the country. Discussion and Conclusion. The obtained results contribute to the scientific analysis of the phenomenon of mentoring as an interdisciplinary problem, initiate the study of its new forms, which are adequate to the conditions of digitalization of modern society. We hope that they will contribute to the strengthening of the domestic institute of mentoring and, as a result, to building up the cultural, educational and technological sovereignty of the country.

Conducting Olympiads in First Aid Among Students of Non-Medical Educational Institutions Using Simulation Equipment

Teaching young people how to provide first aid to victims of emergency conditions is an important direction in the educational and upbringing process of educational institutions. One of the ways to increase the knowledge of non-medical students in matters of first aid is to hold for them thematic olympiads in medical universities using simulation equipment.

DANCE TRADITIONS IN THE SCIENTIFIC DISCOURSE OF YOUTH CULTURE

We consider dance traditions in the scientific discourse of youth culture in the field of choreographic activity (culture, education, leisure) as a means of youth culture. Dance traditions require attention from the scientific discourse of cultural studies. Therefore, we consider traditions as an integral component of Ukrainian culture, education, and recreational institutions. An overview of publications is presented, in which traditions and choreographic activity are analyzed directly in the scientific discourse. The role of dance in promoting the optimization of cultural communication, the acquisition of knowledge, the study and assimilation of samples of national culture, and the education of young people through the means of culture is analyzed. In particular, the role of educational institutions and institutions of culture and arts as centers for providing cultural requests of youth is sporadically highlighted. It was revealed that the culture process directs the youth to the European integration vector with its orientation to the future, the transmission of traditions in the plastic manifestations of folk art to future generations, the assimilation of values and priorities of cultural ideals. The implementation of traditions in choreography involves factors of a complex nature: training of professional dance disciplines in the cultural context of humanitarian sciences : philosophy, aesthetics, ethnocultural studies, art history. The complex character solves the leading tasks of art education, in which culture plays a leading role, so young people focus on the formation of special knowledge, practical skills and skills for improving special techniques and performing skills.

Efforts to prevent sexual deviation and promiscuity in adolescents

The goal of the community service at SMPN 21 Tanjung Jabung Timur is to educate teenagers about the physical and psychological changes, as well as the growth and use of reproductive organs that have an impact on adolescent behavior and personality during puberty. The method for providing this community service into action starts with a survey, then moves on to counseling, stimulation, and discussion using movies for young people's education. The Pre-test and Post-test are the two tests that make up this activity. The results obtained from this program are an increase in students' knowledge about changes in adolescents and the function of the reproductive work system. Apart from that, there is also an increase in students' knowledge about sexual deviation and promiscuity.

The effect of culture and religion on the implementation of comprehensive sexuality education in selected primary schools of Zambia

Despite full-scale implementation of Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) in Zambia, behavioural health problems among adolescents persist which include early and unprotected sex, sexual abuse, early marriages and teenage pregnancies. The study aimed at establishing the effect of culture and religion on the implementation of CSE in selected primary schools of Kabwe, Lusaka and Choma districts of Zambia. The study utilised mixed method design with a pupil population drawn from 9 selected primary schools. The sample size of the study was 700 adolescents (aged 12–17 years) and 16 key informants i.e. headteachers, teachers, guidance and counseling teachers, and government senior officials). Simple random sampling was utilised to select pupils while purposive sampling was employed to select key informants. Interview guides, questionnaires and focus group discussions were employed to collect statistical and narrative data. Data was analysed using a Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and thematic analysis. The study found that culture and religion influenced the implementation of CSE in selected primary schools. This was evident in the language used for teaching CSE, where vernacular expressions of sexuality faced resistance in a culturally conservative society, despite the dominant use of English. Additionally, there was a perception of incompatibility between religious beliefs and teaching sexuality to adolescents. Moreover, adult respondents believed that CSE could breach the moral fabric. In conclusion, for CSE to achieve its goal of improving young people's education and health outcomes, both religious and traditional leaders must be involved in its implementation.

Special education's zombies and their consequences

AbstractZombies are defined as ideas or persistent myths that should have died out but have not. Special education's biggest zombie is that only full inclusion brings about true social justice and the most effective education for students with disabilities. Three examples of specific zombies about full inclusion are presented. First, that full inclusion has been internationally accepted policy since the Salamanca Statement in 1994. Second, that the feasibility of full inclusion has been demonstrated in some countries. Third, that there is extensive evidence that inclusion is more effective that special education. Six strategies that have been used to promote these inclusion zombies to the general public and legislators in various countries around the world are discussed. These are: reframing the problem; denying its reality; portraying special education as something of which most people disapprove; presenting full inclusion as something most people want; making the distinction between the two maximally stark; casting all challenges to the zombie as addressing the wrong question or relying on flawed research and demanding unthinking belief in full inclusion. It is concluded that special education's zombies related to full inclusion must be exposed, challenged and finally eradicated so that future education provision for children with disabilities can focus on achievable goals and evidence of effectiveness rather than placement. Key points Special education's biggest zombie is that only full inclusion will bring true social justice to schooling because special education is essentially an inappropriate way of dealing with diversity; is a relic of the last century, unfairly discriminatory and exclusionary. Three inclusion zombies are: that full inclusion was recommended by the Salamanca Framework; that full inclusion has been shown to be a feasible approach to meeting all special needs; and that there is convincing research evidence that inclusion is more effective than special education. All three zombies are false but widely disseminated. Six strategies are used to promote full inclusion zombies: reframe the nature of the problem; deny the reality of the situation; portray special education as something generally disapproved of; present inclusion as something most people want; make a stark distinction between the two; cast all challenges to the zombie as flawed. Full inclusion zombies must be exposed, challenged, and eradicated, so that continued development of theory, research and practice in the education of young people with special needs can once again be the main focus of educators in this field.

Indonesia’s Youth Unemployment Rate: Evidence from Sakernas Data

Unemployment is a problem that is often faced by every country, including Indonesia. The phenomenon of unemployment in Indonesia shows that a highly educated population does not necessarily have a job, especially in the young age group. This study aims to determine the factors that affect young educated unemployment in Indonesia. This study used variable levels of education, training, experience, major of education, gender, geographical area and urban/rural classification. Using the National Labour Force Survey (SAKERNAS) 2019, provided by Central Statistical Agency, this research employs a logistic regression model. The results showed that 50.99% of the young educated people in Indonesia did not have a job. All variables in this study have a significant effect on young educated unemployment in Indonesia. The quality of education needs to be improved so that the competitiveness of the Indonesian workforce increases, and self-development programs can help reduce the youth-educated unemployment rate.

Is e-sport a fully-fledged sport? Moral, educational and social dilemmas of e-sport.

In this article we focus on moral issues related to sport and e-sport. We attempt to identify the role that contemporary sport and e-sport play in the education of young people. To this end, we analyse the axiological foundations of both types of sport. In our opinion, there is a difference in the impact of e-sport and sport (especially Olympic sport) as carriers of values. Sport, properly conducted in the educational process, can positively influence the moral and biological/physical development of human beings, mobilizing them to physical activity appropriate to the discipline. This important element is basically missing in e-sports. Moreover, in the process of sports training, the athlete is supported by a coach who can explain both positive and negative phenomena occurring during this process. In e-sports, the role of the coach is limited to creating game tactics and maximizing the outcome of the competition, and the question of who teaches young players in both types of sports what is morally right and wrong remains open.
