The spillover effects of classmates' police intrusion on adolescents' school-based defiant behaviors: The mediating role of institutional trust.

Peers' negative police encounters may have collateral consequences and shape adolescents' relationship with authority figures, including those in the school context. Due to the expansion of law enforcement in schools (e.g., school resource officers) and nearby neighborhoods, schools include spaces where adolescents witness or learn about their peers' intrusive encounters (e.g., stop-and-frisks) with the police. When peers experience intrusive police encounters, adolescents may feel like their freedoms are infringed upon by law enforcement and subsequently view institutions, including schools, with distrust and cynicism. In turn, adolescents will likely engage in more defiant behaviors to reassert their freedoms and express their cynicism toward institutions. To test these hypotheses, the present study leveraged a large sample of adolescents (N = 2,061) enrolled in classrooms (N = 157) and examined whether classmates' police intrusion predicted adolescents' engagement in school-based defiant behaviors over time. Results suggest that classmates' intrusive police experiences in the fall term predicted higher levels of adolescents' engagement in defiant behaviors at the end of the school year, regardless of adolescents' own history of direct police intrusive encounters. Adolescents' institutional trust partially mediated the longitudinal association between classmates' intrusive police encounters and adolescents' defiant behaviors. Whereas past studies have largely focused on individual experiences of police encounters, the present study uses a developmental lens to understand how the effects of law enforcement-perpetuated intrusion on adolescent development may operate through peer interactions. Implications for legal system policies and practices are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).

Beyond Teachers: Estimating Individual School Counselors’ Effects on Educational Attainment

Counselors are a common school resource for students navigating complicated and consequential education choices. I estimate counselors’ causal effects using quasi-random assignment policies in Massachusetts. Counselors vary substantially in their effectiveness at increasing high school graduation and college attendance, selectivity, and persistence. Counselor effects on educational attainment are similar in magnitude to teacher effects, but they flow through improved information and assistance more than cognitive or noncognitive skill development. Counselor effectiveness is most important for low-income and low-achieving students, so improving access to effective counseling may be a promising way to increase educational attainment and close socioeconomic gaps in education.

Factors Contributing to Resistance in the use of Information and Communications Technology: A Snapshot on Engineering Graphics and Design Teachers

The prevalent adoption of ICT in education has compelled even EGD teachers to integrate ICT in teaching and learning of EGD. However, not every teacher understands the importance of using technology in EGD lessons, even though it offers a lot of benefits for both teachers and learners. Many scholars have attributed this resistance of teachers to many factors, such as gender, age, and attitudes as well as the fact that teachers do not perceive technology as important as they believe that traditional methods are still bearing fruit. In an attempt to understand the actual reasons behind teachers’ resistance to ICT integration in EGD lessons, this study followed a qualitative approach, and semi-structured interviews were used to gather data. Purposive sampling was used to identify 11 EGD teachers to take part in this study. Furthermore, the study employed the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) framework, which puts emphasis on the acceptance and adoption of technology. This framework assisted in pinpointing factors contributing to ICT resistance and how teachers can accept technology for the purpose of teaching and learning. The findings show that factors such as age, lack of proper skills to use technology, lack of exposure to technology at the tertiary level, attitude, and shortage of resources in schools are contributing to teachers’ resistance to using technology. The study recommends that the department of education should train teachers and provide schools with relevant ICT resources.

Counseling of Zakat Management in Daarul Ilmi Islamic Boarding School Cipeundeuy

The zakat management system according to Law (UU) Number 23 of 2011 is categorized into two, the first is an institution created by the Government, namely the National Amil Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) and the second is an institution built on the initiative of the community or association, namely the Amil Zakat Institution (Lembaga Amil Zakat) LAZ. The zakat law stipulates that LAZ which is formed at the initiative of the community by assisting the collection of zakat, its distribution, utilization, and formation must obtain permission from the minister or an official appointed by the minister. Article 38 of the Zakat Law emphasizes that the management of zakat by the community must go through a mechanism that has been regulated, so it is not permissible to establish an Amil Zakat body without the permission of the authorized party (government). The Daarul Ilmi Integrated Islamic Boarding School as one of the foundations located in Cipeundeuy, West Bandung Regency has a zakat empowerment program that has been implemented for 5 consecutive years. This service aims to see whether this institution is in accordance with the Sharia and zakat laws in its management or not. In principle, the management of zakat is in accordance with Sharia rules, but there are still shortcomings in the licensing aspect, namely, this institution has not registered as a LAZ. Extension activities and assistance to human resources (HR) in Islamic boarding schools are very necessary to achieve the desired goal, namely, the legality of the Zakat Management Institution. It is hoped that after obtaining legality, the management of zakat, infaq, and alms can be developed and gain the trust of the wider community, so that the benefits of zakat can be felt by people in need, especially for students and the community around Islamic boarding schools.

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS IN SCHOOLS: LITERATURE REVIEW

Human resource management (HRM) is the most important factor in the world of education. HRM is connected to the formation of educational staff and educators, both of which are important components in preparing educational programs. The COVID-19 pandemic, which spread to various parts of the world for several years and reached Indonesia, has made digitalization in the Indonesian education sector, namely schools, adapt more quickly to the era of digitalization than before. Current technological advances have had a positive impact on the world of education, which is inseparable from the management of human resources in schools. This research uses a literature review method by looking for previous research in journals that discuss HR management in organizations (such as schools) and related HRM issues. The purpose of this literature review is to identify related journals and factors that can help in answering the objectives of this research. The data used in the literature review is from 2018 to 2023. By searching on Google Scholar for keywords used by information systems, HRM, and schools, The data collection for this literature review was from national journals. A total of 55 national journal articles were selected based on the key, and after selecting based on the article topic, relevance of the title, and analysis results, there were 15 articles that were suitable. The results of this literature review are that there are several benefits obtained by installing an HRM information system in schools, including: increasing efficiency both in terms of time and performance; improving data management so that data expands more quickly and is more accessible; and educational issues that can focus more on strategic work.

Towards successful implementation of public health research into practice: Experiences and lessons learned from EDUCATE

BackgroundThe English schools-based human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination programme is routinely offered to all young people aged 12–13 years. The EDUCATE lesson was developed to overcome barriers to uptake related to unmet information needs by providing young people with information and answering questions they may have about the HPV vaccine. The resource comprises a PowerPoint presentation, interspersed with five short films and a guidance document for professionals delivering the lesson. Adopting public health research into practice is challenging and few papers describe the process. This paper reports the initial use of the EDUCATE resource in schools and the process involved in supporting wider implementation. Study designImplementation and knowledge mobilisation. MethodsFive secondary schools supported implementation of the EDUCATE resource. Delivery took place during April and December 2022 and was observed in four schools, with feedback obtained from two school staff members and 15 young people. Alongside this, meetings were held with over 80 stakeholders with the aim of identifying possible policy levers to encourage use of the EDUCATE resource, and to enhance understanding of how wider scale and sustained impact can be achieved. ResultsOverall, the resource was positively received by school staff and young people engaged well during the lesson. As a result of the stakeholder networking activities, the research team worked with the Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) Association to adapt the materials to meet their Quality Assessment and incorporate elements, such as more interactive activities, requested during the implementation study. ConclusionThe EDUCATE resource has the potential to change practice by enhancing information provision about the HPV vaccine in schools and supporting young people nationally to make informed decisions. Key learnings from the project include the importance of integrating input from target users at all stages of the research process, pragmatism in relation to evaluation research designs, and incentivising researchers to undertake translation activities through further funding and a greater focus on impact. Together, these can help facilitate the availability of public health resources and their adoption into ‘real-world’ practice.

The hypermobile and the rest: capital conversion and inclusion/exclusion in an emerging student migration in China

The rise of transnational and transcity education consumption suggests the increasingly important role of the capability to move in order to access quality schooling. Studies have examined the multidimensional inequalities underlying translocal education consumption. However, the role of mobility itself is not sufficiently understood. Two questions are rarely asked: (1) How is the capability to move acquired and practised to bring about translocal schooling consumption? and (2) How does the disparity in the capability to move restructure the established intergenerational capital transmission mechanism conceptualized by Bourdieu? This paper answers by theorizing a mobility-mediated, education-based intergenerational capital transmission mechanism. This framework is built upon a theoretical engagement among John Urry, Pierre Bourdieu, and Neil Smith. We substantiate this framework by examining a student migration regime in Sichuan, China. Attention is paid to the inclusion/exclusion of hypermobility-based schooling consumption regime. Empirical analysis is performed by the comparison of two social groups: (a) the middle-class households who employ mobility to chase after the footloose prime schooling resources and thus materialize their class reproduction strategy and (b) the immobile remainder who are stuck in a location deprived of quality schooling resources.

Leading to Disrupt the School-to-Prison Pipeline

The school-to-prison pipeline (STPP) describes in shorthand the problematic relationship between some students’ school experiences and their subsequent incarceration. One summer, in response to vocal concerned parents, a suburban school board adopted a zero-tolerance policy for smoking and vaping. Through the combined effects of the zero-tolerance approach, exclusionary punishments, the presence of SROs (school resource officers), racially disproportionate disciplinary practices, and a culturally nonresponsive school setting, 90 students were introduced to the criminal justice system in one school year. This case helps school leaders examine the elements of the STPP and how they work together to damaging effect. The questions and activities will guide readers to develop multiple ways to forestall and/or repair STPP supporting policies and practices.

Exploring the Problems of Limited School Resources in Rural Schools and Curriculum Management

Exploring the Problems of Limited School Resources in Rural Schools and Curriculum Management

Southern Hospitality: Democracy and School Finance Policy Praxis in Racist America

ABSTRACT Recent evidence suggests school resources are continually segregated from minoritized communities. This funding disparity impacts students’ long-term outcomes in school and in their community. Political discourse has prioritized school defunding, privatization through vouchers and related policies, and tax relief and at the same time greater regulation of curriculum, content, and pedagogy in schools. Southern states in particular have moved to restrict access to a discourse of liberation and are threatening sanctions if schools implement specific content (e.g., race, and oppression). We explore the potential for school finance to create spaces that decrease democratic participation through school funding disparity. We use district-level panel data that combines National Center for Education Statistics and Census data from 2000 to 2018 to explore the patterns of school funding disparity in nine southern states; Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. We find racial/ethnic make-up interacts with specific funding variables so that districts with higher percentages of minoritized students are at a disadvantage financially. We also find that states may over rely on local and federal funds to maintain funding levels despite increases in cost pressures.

A qualitative exploration of young people’s mental health needs in rural and regional Australia: engagement, empowerment and integration

BackgroundAustralian rural and regional communities are marked by geographic isolation and increasingly frequent and severe natural disasters such as drought, bushfires and floods. These circumstances strain the mental health of their inhabitants and jeopardise the healthy mental and emotional development of their adolescent populations. Professional mental health care in these communities is often inconsistent and un-coordinated. While substantial research has examined the barriers of young people’s mental health and help-seeking behaviours in these communities, there is a lack of research exploring what adolescents in rural and regional areas view as facilitators to their mental health and to seeking help when it is needed. This study aims to establish an in-depth understanding of those young people’s experiences and needs regarding mental health, what facilitates their help-seeking, and what kind of mental health education and support they want and find useful.MethodWe conducted a qualitative study in 11 drought-affected rural and regional communities of New South Wales, Australia. Seventeen semi-structured (14 group; 3 individual) interviews were held with 42 year 9 and 10 high school students, 14 high school staff, and 2 parents, exploring participants’ experiences of how geographical isolation and natural disasters impacted their mental health. We further examined participants’ understandings and needs regarding locally available mental health support resources and their views and experiences regarding mental illness, stigma and help-seeking.ResultsThematic analysis highlighted that, through the lens of participants, young people’s mental health and help-seeking needs would best be enabled by a well-coordinated multi-pronged community approach consisting of mental health education and support services that are locally available, free of charge, engaging, and empowering. Participants also highlighted the need to integrate young people’s existing mental health supporters such as teachers, parents and school counselling services into such a community approach, recognising their strengths, limitations and own education and support needs.ConclusionsWe propose a three-dimensional Engagement, Empowerment, Integration model to strengthen young people’s mental health development which comprises: 1) maximising young people’s emotional investment (engagement); 2) developing young people’s mental health self-management skills (empowerment); and, 3) integrating mental health education and support programs into existing community and school structures and resources (integration).

A Study on The Factors Behind Bilingual Policy Promotion Within Higher Education in Taiwan

This paper aims to examine the ongoing bilingual policy promoted in higher education in Taiwan by exploring the important factors that might affect the promotion of the policy. After using literature review method to explore key factors affecting bilingual policy implementation in higher education, a group of 15 distinguished experts in the fields of language education, EMI promotion centers and in bilingual education policy implementation were assembled to form an expert panel. Leveraging the collective expertise and diverse perspectives of the panelists, the study conducted a questionnaire survey to collect the data. The results show five main categories of factors related to the implement of Bilingual Policy, namely “administrative support”, “school environment and resources”, “curriculum and instruction”, “student learning” and “local linkage”. Among the five categories, “administrative support” has the highest expert consensus of importance in terms of promoting Bilingual Policy, followed by “student learning”, “curriculum and instruction”, “school environment and resources” and “local linkage”. Experts’ comments and suggestions are also discussed.

Building a nationally representative sample of teachers’ online and offline: the Public Instructional Network of School Resources

The emerging big data allows educational studies to examine teaching and learning behaviors over time and at scale. Less available is population-representative big data. This paper builds the first nationally representative sample of teachers’ online curation on a social media platform (i.e. Pinterest), the Public Instructional Network of School Resources (PINSR). This effort includes developing a big-rich data sampling framework, integrating social media data with administrative and census “ground truth” sources, and validating the population representativeness. Finally, we employ PINSR and present a worked example of teachers’ social media curation behavioral patterns across regions and time.

Exploring the relationship between educational ICT resources, student engagement, and academic performance: A multilevel structural equation analysis based on PISA 2018 data

Increasing investment in educational ICT resources is a strategy adopted worldwide to improve student performance in the digital era. Nevertheless, whether the investment is effective and how to realize its positive effect remains unclear. To address these limitations, the dataset of PISA 2018 in five countries and regions with superior academic performance was used, and multilevel structural equation modelling was applied. The results indicated that, first, educational ICT resources are negatively associated with student academic performance. Second, educational ICT resources positively correlate with cognitive-motivational, curriculum-based engagement, and non-curricular engagement. School and home educational ICT resources exhibit strong associations with curriculum-based and cognitive-motivational engagement, respectively. Third, student engagement mediates the relationship between educational ICT resources and academic performance, and this mediating role is different at the school level and the student level. Last, the above relationships show heterogeneities across research countries and regions. Practical implications for governments, schools, and teachers were discussed.

Trainee Teachers Attitudes toward Macro-Teaching: Resource Impact and Mentors Perspectives

Macro-teaching is a technique used to prepare trainee teachers for the real classroom setting. This technique enables trainee teachers to experiment and learn relevant teaching skills through interactions with their lead mentors and mentors. This study assessed the attitude of trainee teachers towards macro-teaching from the perspective of lead mentors and mentors. The study also assessed the importance of school resources in macro-teaching exercise. Using a qualitative case study research design, and Braun and Clarke’s inductive thematic analysis approach 194 respondents’ responses were used for analysis. The study findings revealed a positive attitude among trainee teachers toward the macro-teaching exercise. It also revealed that school resources, particularly infrastructure and teaching and learning resources were inadequate and also not available in some public basic schools in the Bono East region. The findings found this to adversely affect trainee teachers’ competency development in the teaching profession. The study recommends that the Ministry of Education through the Ghana Education Service should provide school resources such as staff common rooms and reading materials for basic schools in the municipality to promote quality teaching and learning in schools.
