Patterns of integrating the Seal of Biliteracy into the school context

AbstractThe Seal of Biliteracy (SoBL) is a high school graduation credential that recognizes US students in their final year of high school who have demonstrated proficiency in English and at least one other language. SoBL implementation has been shown in many contexts to be governed by local policy arbiters, who interpret the state policy to provide access to the SoBL to students. Additionally, scholars have suggested that the discourse surrounding the SoBL has been permeated with neoliberal logic that prioritizes individual success and economic advantage. This study investigates how these themes play out in the implementation of the SoBL in 16 schools across Iowa, diverse in size, location, and student linguistic profiles. Findings indicate that the implementation of the SoBL was influenced by the local context and local policy arbiters, and how the SoBL, in turn, influenced the arbiters' perspectives and practices related to language learners and language instruction.

Co-ord Analysis on Soft Skills Article in Range 2016 - 2021

Currently, education is directed to facilitate the needs of students for work skills. This supports the performance of high school graduates in their careers. So that various changes to the education system add certain skills as an achievement in learning. These supporting skills are called soft skills. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the opportunities for developing research on Soft Skills related to student work competencies in higher education. This research was conducted by analyzing article documents called bibliometric analysis. The analysis includes four stages, namely (1) determining the keywords, (2) collecting data in Scopus, (3) sending data to application and (4) analyzing the visualization. The visualization of the data displayed is only analyzed to the extent of keyword analysis. The results of the analysis show that the development of soft skills still has the opportunity to be researched. This is evidenced by the results of co-word analysis in the last five years, which still show opportunities to develop research themes related to soft skills. In the last two years in the analysis based on the year of publication, topics related to soft skills research were more oriented to the use of technology, so that further researchers could develop in that area. Keywords: co-ord, analysis, soft skills

Examining the Relationship between Vaccine Utilization and Educational Attainment in Southeast Los Angeles

The Southeast Los Angeles cities of Maywood and Bell have educational attainment (bachelor’s degree or higher) rates of 8.7% and 8.8%, respectively, relative to California’s state average of 37.0% (U.S. Census Bureau 2022). The goal of this study is to evaluate the relationship between educational attainment and vaccine utilization in Southeast Los Angeles to inform future policies aimed at improving long-term health outcomes. For this study, the International Collegiate Health Initiative (ICHI), a 501(c)-3 nonprofit focused on providing multicultural low-income, immigrant, and refugee populations with educational, nutritional, and medical health services, conducted extensive surveying of the patient population at its mobile community health clinic events at the Maywood YMCA and the Bell Community Health Center. The data reveals significant differences in vaccine use between college- and non-college-educated individuals. 68.75% of college-educated respondents reported receiving a COVID-19 booster shot, whereas 56.82% of non-college-educated respondents reported the same. Similarly, college-educated respondents had a 62.5% flu vaccination rate in the 2022 flu season, compared to 47.7% for non-college-educated respondents. The trend of college attendees being more likely to use vaccine services than non-college attendees is corroborated by a longitudinal study of Wisconsin high school graduates. This study determined that college attendance was correlated with higher probability of vaccine utilization in general, and increased flu shot usage in particular (Fletcher & Frisvold, 2009). The study also indicates that there is causation, rather than simply correlation, between increased college attendance and use of vaccines. Moreover, an empirical assessment of OECD countries for the period 1995–2015 found that well-educated adults have better health relative to adults who are less-educated (​​Raghupathi & ​​Raghupathi, 2020). This underscores the need to support increased educational attainment in underserved communities in order to increase vaccination rates in the United States.

Childhood behavior problems and adverse economic outcomes: a 30-year population-based study of intergenerational income mobility.

The objectives of this study were to (a) assess the associations between early behavioral problems and intergenerational income mobility (i.e., the degree to which income status is transmitted from one generation to the next), (b) verify whether these associations are moderated by child sex, and (c) explore indirect effects of early behavioral problems on income mobility via high school graduation. Data were drawn from the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Kindergarten Children (n = 3,020; 49.17% girls). Participants were followed from age 6 to 37 years. Measures included parents' and teachers' ratings of behavioral problems at age 6 years as well as participants' (ages 30-35 years) and their parents' (when participants were aged 10-19 years) income data obtained from tax return records. Regression models were used to predict upward and downward mobility (i.e., increased or decreased income status from one generation to the next) from attention-deficit/hyperactivity problems, conduct/opposition problems, depression/anxiety problems, prosociality, and the quality of children's relationship with their caregiver. Two-way interaction effects between behavioral problems and child sex were examined and indirect effect models including high school graduation as a mediator of these associations were conducted. Despite their higher educational attainment, females had lower incomes and experienced lower upward (but higher downward) income mobility than males. For both females and males, higher levels of attention-deficit/hyperactivity and conduct/opposition problems were associated with decreased odds of upward mobility, whereas higher levels of attention-deficit/hyperactivity were associated with increased odds of downward mobility. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity problems, conduct/opposition problems as well as low prosociality were associated with lower educational attainment (no high school diploma), which in turn was associated with increased odds of downward mobility. Results highlight the importance of providing intensive support to children with early behavioral problems as a means of improving educational attainment and intergenerational income mobility.

From Fear to Understanding: Millennials’ Perceptions of Islam in Contemporary Society as a Basis for Interfaith Dialogue and Cooperation

This study aimed to describe the millennials' perception of Islam in contemporary society as a basis for interfaith dialogue and cooperation. A descriptive research method was utilized. Respondents were selected using stratified probability sampling. A total of 255 were used primarily as the respondents of this study. The data gathered were analyzed using the SPSS software V21x64. The statistical methods used were frequency and percentage counts, standard deviation, mean, and the grand mean. The respondents’ demographic profile relative to age, the 25-28 age group had more respondents than other age groups. As to sex, females dominated the number of respondents. In terms of tribe, most respondents are Cebuano. Regarding religious affiliation, Roman Catholics have a significant number of respondents and in educational attainment, most of the respondents are high school graduates. Millennials with a moderately high perception of Islam view the religious practices of Islam in a positive light. They may appreciate the emphasis on prayer, fasting, and charity as acts of devotion. Regarding cultural aspects of Islam, millennials with moderately high perceptions may appreciate the rich history and traditions associated with Islamic culture. Relative to governance, millennials with moderately high perceptions may acknowledge the influence of Islamic principles in shaping societies governed by law. They may recognize the importance of justice, fairness, and social welfare in Islamic governance systems and appreciate the emphasis on community and public welfare. Millennials with a moderately high perception of Islam will likely have a positive view of it, appreciating its religious practices, cultural contributions, and governance principles. They may also be open to learning more about Islam and engaging in interfaith dialogue and cooperation with practitioners of different religions.

School closures and their implications for student outcomes: evidence from Lithuania

ABSTRACT This paper studies the effect of school closures on student outcomes in the Lithuanian context. Using administrative student-level data from 2013–2017 and propensity score matching, we create a balanced sample of control and treatment groups. In contrast to other studies, we focus on students in the final years of high school, possibly eliciting the upper bar of the disruption effect. We also follow students after high school graduation, providing evidence on labour market outcomes. We find that school closure has a small, negative effect on only some exam outcomes and the probability of enrolling at a university, suggesting that the disruption effect is small even for students in the final years of high school.

Analysis on clout of <em>Tri Hita Karana</em>, technological competence, and entrepreneurship drive toward technopreneurship readiness on vocational high school students

This research intends to illustrate the analysis on the clout of Tri Hita Karana, technological competence, and entrepreneurship drive toward technopreneurship readiness among students in vocational high school. It has been widely known that a lot of vocational high school graduates had difficulty in finding employment. The disparity between the number of high school graduates with vocational training and the job opportunities that are accessible is the main cause of this issue. In fact, because they may develop new job opportunities based on technology, graduates of vocational high schools have a great opportunity to become independent workers. Therefore, in order to enable vocational high school students to become independent entrepreneurs, technopreneurship readiness should be developed. Tri Hita Karana should advocate for technopreneurship readiness as the embodiment of upholding positive relationships with God, other people, and the environment; having the technological know-how to compete and act responsibly; fostering creativity and innovation; and encouraging students' entrepreneurial drive. In this study, correlational design was used. This study used a sample of 167 vocational high school students from Buleleng Regency's Multimedia Expertise Program. Multiple regression analysis was used in the data analysis. According to research findings, Tri Hita Karana had a 22% influence on technopreneurship readiness, technological competence had an 18.8% influence, and entrepreneurship drive had a 23.7% influence. The connected stakeholders may use these findings as a foundation for organizing and deciding how best to improve the technopreneurship readiness of high school students pursuing vocational programs.

Autistic students speak about their experience with their one-to-one teaching assistants in general high schools

ABSTRACT The number of autistic students in general schools has increased substantially. Traditionally, ‘one-to-one teaching assistants’ (TAs) support them academically and socially. Little is known about the impact of the TA from autistic students’ points of view. This qualitative study aimed to understand the perceptions of autistic high school graduates regarding their experiences with their TA. Fourteen autistic young adults (ages 19–27) who had graduated from general high schools in which a TA had accompanied them were individually interviewed. The thematic analysis showed a complex response. The strongest negative responses reflected unsuitable educational support, unnecessary dependencies, and disrupted social interactions with classmates. It seems that personal TAs can hinder the student’s learning and social interactions. Therefore, it is essential to hear autistic students’ suggestions about what can improve their inclusion experience in general high school and ensure that the students are both aware of and involved in the support options available to them.

THE EFFECTS OF DISTANCE EDUCATION ON MIDWIFERY STUDENTS BEFORE CLINICAL PRACTICE IN THE PANDEMIC

This research was conducted to determine the positive and negative effects of distance education before clinical practice compared to midwifery students. Materials and Methods: The research was carried out with a total of 181 students studying in the 1st and 2nd year of the Department of Midwifery, Faculty of Health Sciences, of a state university in Turkey. 54.7% of the participants are first-year students, all of them are single, 63.5% are Anatolian high school graduates, 76.2% have an extended family and 71.3% live in the city. Regarding the distance education evaluations, 72.9% stated that they did not approve. Participants also stated that the transition to distance education negatively affected the quality of laboratory and clinical applications of the courses and their participation rates. The learning tools that students found most valuable in the distance education process were online lecture notes (83.9%), smartphones (81%), internet access (76.1%) and computers (72.5%). The distance education process brought additional costs to 71.3% of the students and 29.3% stated that this cost was more than 500 Turkish Liras. This result shows that web-based distance education can be used in addition to formal education to reinforce the theory in midwifery education.

Community exposure to gun homicide and adolescents'educational aspirations.

Witnessing violence and violent victimization have detrimental effects on adolescents'emotional functioning and ability to envision and plan for their futures. However, research is limited on the impact of violence that occurs in adolescents'communities-whether or not it was witnessed or experienced firsthand. This paper investigated the associations between community exposure to gun homicide and adolescents'high school and college graduation aspirations. We analyzed data from the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study (N = 3031), a cohort study of children born 1998-2000 in 20 large US cities, merged with incident-level data on deadly gun violence from the Gun Violence Archive (2014-2017). Outcomes were reported by adolescents (girls and boys) during wave 6 (2014-2017) of the study, conducted when the children were 15 years of age. We employed ordinary least squares regression, ordered logistic regression, and multilevel stratification to examine the average and heterogeneous impacts of community exposure to gun homicide on adolescents'educational aspirations. Community exposure to gun homicide was associated with reduced high school graduation aspirations, particularly among adolescents with the lowest risk of exposure to gun homicide. Gun homicide exposure was also associated with increased college graduation aspirations; this association was concentrated among adolescents with moderate-high risk of exposure. Given the importance of education for job opportunities and the better health that accompanies education and occupational attainment, preventing early exposure to gun violence and providing institutional supports to help adolescents facing adversity realize their goals is essential to their long-term health and success.

Staying Close to Home: A Descriptive Analysis of the High School Graduates Who Return to Teach in Their Home District

Given urban school and district administrators’ historical challenges with recruiting and retaining a high-quality, racially diverse teacher workforce, there is a need to better understand the factors shaping why graduates return to teach in their home district. This descriptive study examines the high school students who returned to teach in their home district—a large urban district in the southeastern United States. White female, economically privileged, and higher achieving graduates returned to teach at the highest rates, although notable differences by race/ethnicity were observed. Implications for urban teacher recruitment are discussed.

Somewhere Only We Go

The process of writing the screenplay, Somewhere Only We Go, occurred over eight months for actress and creative Claire Kendall Taetz. From deeply researching the writing process and watching her characters come to life as she typed out her script, Taetz formed a complex psychological thriller that will have audiences questioning the layers of reality and consciousness. Logline for film: “Nearing high school graduation, Ashlynn MacGregor and her friends venture out on the town. A tragic event occurs, and Ashlynn is presented with a new reality...and the question is not can she accept it, but how she will accept it. Somewhere she goes takes us on a journey where we all go, through the eyes of one frightened but dauntless woman on the brink of insanity.

Diabetes Disparities in the United States: Trends by Educational Attainment from 2001 to 2020

IntroductionTracking changes in socioeconomic disparities in diabetes in the US is important to evaluate progress in health equity and guide prevention efforts. Disparities in diabetes prevalence by educational attainment from 2001 to 2020 were investigated. MethodsUsing a serial cross-sectional design, data from 33,220 adults aged 30 to 79 assessed in nine rounds of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys between 2001 to 2020 were analyzed in 2023-4. Diabetes was defined as self-reported prior diagnosis, elevated glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c≥6.5%), or use of diabetes medications. Marginalized age- and covariate-adjusted prevalence differences (PD) and prevalence ratios (PR) of diabetes by educational attainment (less than high school graduation, high school graduation, some college education or associate degree, or college graduation [reference]) by calendar period (2001-04, 2005-08, 2009-12, 2013-16, 2017-20) were derived from logistic regression models. ResultsFrom 2001 to 2020, age-adjusted diabetes prevalence was consistently higher among adults without a college degree. Adults without a high school diploma exhibited the largest disparities in both 2001-04 (PD 8.0%; 95%CI 5.6-10.5 and PR 2.1; 95%CI 1.5-2.6) and 2017-20 (PD 11.0%; 95%CI 6.7-15.2 and PR 2.1; 95%CI 1.5-2.7). Between 2001-04 and 2017-20, the absolute disparity in diabetes increased only among adults with a high school diploma (PD 1.7% 95%CI -0.5-3.9 vs PD 8.8%; 4.1-13.4, respectively), while the PR did not change in any group. Education-related disparities in diabetes were attenuated after accounting for socio-demographic factors and BMI. ConclusionsFrom 2001 to 2020, national education-related disparities in diabetes prevalence have shown no signs of narrowing.

Adherence of HIV/AIDS patients to clinical outcome in Semarang City

Background: The success of HIV therapy can be measured by clinical, immunological, and virological monitoring. Meanwhile, low adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) contributes significantly to the disease progression and emergence of drug-resistant HIV. Objective: This study aimed to determine the correlation between the adherence of HIV/AIDS patients to clinical outcomes in Semarang. Method: This was an observational and cross-sectional approach. The instrument used the Simple Medication Adherence Questionnaire (SMAQ), which was validated and distributed to 50 respondents. The data were analyzed using chi-square (p < 0.05), and the results showed a statistically significant relationship. Result: Respondents were male (96%), aged 26-45 years (76%), high school graduates (24%), working (88%), single (86%), without comorbidity (86%), length of treatment more than 12 months (80%), and general treatment (50%). A total of 31 respondents (62%) adhered to treatment with the combination regimen of Tenofovir/Lamivudine/Efavirenz (20%). There was a significant relationship (p = 0.006) between the length of treatment and patient adherence. The adherence results were not significantly related (p > 0.05) to virological outcomes. Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between the adherence of HIV/AIDS patients and clinical outcomes.

The Social Determinants of Health and Athletic Trainer Availability in Indiana Secondary Schools.

The social determinants of health (SDOH) are circumstances under which individuals are born, work, and live that influence health outcomes. Previous researchers have examined 1 determinant of economic stability and found disparities in socioeconomic status and athletic trainer (AT) availability. To examine the SDOH characteristics of Indiana secondary schools and AT availability. Cross-sectional study. Database secondary analysis. A total of 426 secondary schools. All data were collected from publicly available databases. The independent variable was AT availability, and schools were classified as having a full-time AT, a part-time AT only, or no AT. The SDOH variables were gathered for each school (at the school and county levels). Data were summarized using measures of central tendencies, 1-way analysis of variance, and Kruskal-Wallis tests. School enrollment was larger in schools with greater AT availability (P< .001). The proportion of non-White students was greater in schools with more AT availability (P= .002). Greater AT availability was present in counties with higher graduation rates (P= .03). Post hoc comparisons revealed differences in graduation rates between schools with a part-time AT and those with no AT (P= .04). Schools with less AT availability were located in counties with a slightly higher percentage of the population uninsured (P= .02). Schools with greater AT availability were located in counties with a higher ratio of population to primary care physicians (P= .03). Schools with less AT availability were located in counties with a higher population experiencing severe housing problems (P= .02). No differences were found in AT availability based on the 3 social and community context variables (P> .05). Differences were noted in AT availability and SDOH characteristics at the secondary school level. We observed less AT availability where high school graduation rates and the population of primary care providers were lower. Strategies should be implemented to improve access to athletic health care in underresourced communities.

Older Adults’ Knowledge of Geriatric Depression and Its Related Factors

IntroductionEven though depression is a severe health issue among older adults, few studies have explored their knowledge of geriatric depression.ObjectivesThis study aimed to explore older adults’ knowledge of geriatric depression and its related factors.MethodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted. Older adults were recruited by convenience from outpatient clinics of three hospitals in Taiwan.ResultsA total of 327 older adults participated in this study. Their mean score of knowledge was 7.73 (SD=2.12, Range=2-12) on an 18-item knowledge scale, indicating poor knowledge of geriatric depression. Females had significantly higher geriatric depression knowledge scores than males (t=2.50, p=0.01). Junior and senior high school graduates had significantly higher geriatric depression knowledge scores than illiterate and primary school graduates (F=10.23, p&lt;0.01). In addition, their geriatric depression knowledge scores also differed by religious belief (F=4.91, p&lt;0.01), living status (F=8.64, p&lt;0.01), and perceived health condition (F=8.81, p&lt;0.01). Buddhists had significantly higher geriatric depression knowledge scores than Taoists. Living with partners and perceiving their health status as fair and good tended to have higher geriatric knowledge scores than their counterparts. However, their geriatric depression knowledge scores did not significantly correlate with their mean scores of social distance toward older adults with depression.ConclusionsOlder adults tended to have poor geriatric depression knowledge. Improving their knowledge shall be an urgent task. Our results may serve as references for developing further depression prevention.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

THE EFFECT OF COVİD 19 FEAR ON MATERNAL ATTACHMENT IN THE POSTPARTUM PERIOD

Objective: This study was conducted to determine the effects of COVID-19 fear experienced by mothers during the pandemic on maternal attachment.&#x0D; Materials and Method: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted between 15.03.2022-15.04.2022 with 170 puerperium hospitalized in the obstetrics and gynecology department of a state hospital.

Analysis of Job Recommendations in Vocational Education Using the Intelligent Job Matching Model

Vocational high schools are one of the educational stages impacted by Indonesia's low quality of education. Vocational High Schools play a crucial role in improving human resources. Graduates of Vocational High Schools can continue their education at universities or enter the workforce directly. Many students are found to have not yet considered their career path after graduation. At the same time, graduates are still expected to find mismatched employment with their expertise and skills. This research uses CRISP-DM, or Cross Industry Standard Process for Data Mining, to build machine learning models. The approach used is content-based filtering. This model recommends items similar to previously liked or selected items by the user. Item similarity can be calculated based on the features of the items being compared. After students receive job recommendations through intelligent job matching, they can use these recommendations as references when applying for jobs that align with their results. This process helps students direct their steps toward finding jobs that match their profiles, ultimately increasing their chances of success in the job market. These recommendations are crucial in guiding students toward career paths that align with their abilities and interests. The Intelligent Job Matching Model developed in this research provides recommendations for the job-matching process. This model benefits graduates by providing job recommendations aligned with their profiles and offers advantages to the job market. By implementing the Model of Intelligent Job Matching in the recruitment process, applicants with job qualifications can be matched effectively.

Menuju Puncak Sukses: Transformasi Mimpi melalui Pendidikan Vokasi

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Community Service Activity (PKM) held at the Algaf Building, Politeknik Piksi Input Serang, was an initiative designed to motivate and enlighten high school graduates from SMA/SMK/MA/equivalent about the importance of higher education, especially in vocational fields. Attended by 225 participants, including students and teachers from various regions of Serang, as well as lecturers and educational staff from Politeknik Piksi Input Serang, the event offered a series of presentations, lectures, group discussions, and in-depth Q&amp;amp;A sessions. The goal was to broaden participants' perspectives on the opportunities and career prospects achievable through vocational education. Additionally, a campus tour provided a tangible overview of the learning environment and available facilities, stimulating participants' interest in pursuing further education. While the event was successful in delivering information and motivation, it fell short in allocating sufficient time for direct interaction, necessitating future adjustments. Suggestions for improvement include extending the time for discussion sessions and utilizing information technology to maximize participant engagement and satisfaction.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
