BackgroundBullying behaviors whether verbal, emotional, or physical impact nurses in several ways. AimThe purpose of this study was to describe how newly licensed nurses managed the bullying behaviors they experienced. MethodsA qualitative descriptive design was used with 24 newly licensed nurses. Interviews followed an open-ended, semi-structured interview guide. Colaizzi's procedural steps for phenomenological analysis were used to analyze the transcript data. ResultsSix themes emerged from the qualitative data: The Bullying, The Perception of the Event, How Bullying Affected Them, How They Dealt with Bullying, How They Wished Bullying Had Been Managed, and What the School Should Do.

A History of The Six-Year Primary Project in the Use of Yoruba as the Medium of Primary Education

The Larger Context and Arguments on Mother Tongue and Education Many non-English speaking parents think that if their children only learn English, they will fare better in school. In the last half a century or so, researchers have noticed the problem faced especially by developing nations in their language-related educational policies.1 Some countries, like Burundi, for example, have adopted this mentality and made English the official national language, in hopes that encouraging English will stimulate the economy and improve the job prospects of youth.2 However, research consistently shows that focusing entirely on English or any “majority language” at the detriment of one’s native language actually does more harm than good. There are many 1 See works of Joshua Fishman, Language Problems of Developing Nations. New York: Wiley, 1968 and Joshua Fishman. Readings in the Sociology of Language.

One’s language is tied with one’s identity. Consequently, then, maintaining one’s native language means maintaining one’s identity. With this maintained identity, one feels a connection to one’s native culture and therefore has a positive self-concept. 2. Maintaining one’s language allows one to strengthen relationships with family and community members who perhaps do not speak English (or the majority language) or who prefer to speak in their native language. Tis allows for one to keep a reliable social network bound by a common tongue. 3. If a young child is forced to speak in English (or the majority language) when they prefer to speak in their mother tongue, they are also forced to operate at a lower intellectual age than they actually are. Tis can damage the child’s academic future. Therefore, it is best for the child to be encouraged to speak both languages and experience the benefits of bilingualism and a fully developing brain. 4. Similar to #3, children who are able to speak in their native language and English (or the majority language) experience higher academic achievement throughout their life.

Private Schools as Drivers of Social Segregation: Why Private Schools Should Be Regulated

In international comparison, the share of pupils enrolled in private schools is expanding and the access to private schools is socially unequal.

Three Things Schools Should Do to Make Advancement Assessment Just.

This article considers how student advancement assessment in American medical schools undermines equity. Although much attention is paid to admissions processes' capacity to diversify the physician workforce, students' advancement has been neglected as the next key step along their journeys toward graduation and residency training. This article canvasses common ways advancement undermines equity and suggests 3 areas of focus. In particular, it suggests that retention, student progression, and career advancement milestones are at least as important as admissions-based efforts to promote justice in medical education opportunity.

Why Christian Schools Should Adopt Restorative Justice?

<p class="abstracttextDILIGENTIA">Christian schools have the responsibility to teach students to view everything from God’s perspective. Hence, all components of Christian education, including discipline practices, should be based on the Bible. Traditionally, the discipline approach in schools is mainly retributive justice that focuses on the rules that are broken, the offenders and the punishments. The offenders should get the deserved punishment for breaking the rules. A different approach, that is restorative justice, focuses on addressing the harm caused, the victims’ feeling and restoring the broken relationship caused by the offense through reconciliation. To find the most biblical approach to be implemented in Christian schools, this paper first looks at the presupposition of both approaches through literature studies and then review it in the light of the Word of God. The result is apparent that restorative justice should be adopted by Christian schools in order to stay faithful to the mandate which is to bring students to God. Further arguments on the importance of adopting this approach are presented concisely. Nevertheless, more research is needed in this area to ensure successful implementation.</p>

A Call to Arms: Why and How Lawyers and Law Schools Should Embrace Artificial Intelligence

This article will evaluate the impact emerging AI technology has on the practice of law, in particular in the areas of legal research, “search and find” services, form automation and creation, and predictive analytics. It will discuss the impact emerging AI technology has had on legal education and what some law schools are doing to prepare students to be competitive and succeed in this rapidly evolving legal environment. Lastly, the author argues that legal education must attempt to bridge the law-tech divide and become ground zero for innovation and change. It is clear further discussions are needed, and legal educators need to come together, evaluate current law school curriculum, and brainstorm as to how to improve upon current pedagogical practices.

Why All Business Schools Should Teach Foresight: Perspectives from More Than a Decade at the University of Notre Dame

This article advocates that business schools include a formalized foresight educational experience more widely in their curriculums. As a group charged with educating business leaders of tomorrow, the cultivation of the skill-set and mind-set necessary for anticipating change and positioning organizations for future success and survival should no longer be left to chance. For the past decade, the Mendoza College of Business at the University of Notre Dame has required all undergraduate students to take a course titled Foresight in Business and Society. During this time, the Mendoza foresight faculty team has gained perspective on the design and value of a futures research learning experience for our students. Five underlying design principles are presented that have shaped the delivery and execution of the course these revolve around: developing great leaders, confronting ambiguous questions, experiential understanding, rigorous exploration, and anticipation as a force for good. As with any design-based perspective, the article concludes with challenges and pitfalls in recognition that the process is not always linear or smooth. But to other educators on this journey, the challenges are manageable and the promise and prospects for students makes it worthwhile.

Lessons from America: How Modern Law Schools Should be Teaching Legal Ethics

This paper critiques different approaches to the teaching legal ethics in the law school environment by comparing the approach taken in three different educational jurisdictions: Australia, Canada and the United States. This paper outlines the historically difficult task of teaching the concepts of ethics and professional responsibility to law students in an engaging and meaningful way. It argues that, despite these difficulties, legal ethics should be considered one of the most important subjects taught at law school, not least because it is one of the only shared substantial and methodological topics across different practice areas. Further, this paper argues that a solid grounding in ‘ethical principles’ (as well as professional rules) is vital to equip young lawyers to make sound ethical choices as practitioners. This paper then critiques traditional classroom seminar models for ethics teaching as insufficient and unsuited to preparing law students for the challenges of legal practice, noting that the majority of law schools in Canada still favour this approach, as do most schools in Australia. This paper provides a relevant history of legal ethics teaching in the American context, notes the recommendations of the 2007 Carnegie Report into legal education reform, and examines on the movement in some US law schools to combine sophisticated experiential learning methods with academic reflection and professorial guidance as the optimal method for ethics instruction. This paper reflects on the author’s experience as a young lawyer practicing in Australia and recommends this approach as best able to meet the growing ethical issues facing practitioners today.

Reasons Why Small, Private Schools Should Start Football Programs

College football programs are booming in popularity. College football benefits both fans and schools. Those benefits differ between small and large schools. This paper looked at reasons why small, private schools should start football program, Findings suggest a positive effect of fan identity, expectation of enjoyment and perceived importance of football to the school on intention to attend games and consume football related goods. Relationship between intentions to donate and enjoyment and importance were partially mediated by intentions to consume. Fan identity had no direct effect on intentions to donate. This study suggests that small-scale football programs can benefit students and alumni as well as the school itself.
