Barreras-Brown, Koreen N. "Mexican American adolescent males' counter-stories." Thesis, Lewis and Clark College, 2013. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3559042.
Full textThe purpose of this study was to collaboratively construct Mexican American adolescent males' counter-stories on resiliency and perseverance in life and school. The target population included five Mexican American adolescent males in their freshman year at the same suburban high school in the U. S. Northwest. The study obtained in-depth experiences and counter-stories by employing qualitative methodologies. Qualitative data analyses involved coding of semi-structured interviews to identify common themes and patterns shared among the Latino adolescent males. The researcher and participants analyzed the counter-stories separately, jointly, and collaboratively to identify emerging themes on resiliency and perseverance. Together, the researcher and participants constructed the counter-stories through a restorying process.
The underlying themes, revealed by this research, have implications for educators, students, and families. The participants identified their educational family value, educación, and support from significant family members through consejos (narrative advice or homilies) as reasons for why they persevered in life and school. The strong connections with family provided participants with a strong ethnic identity, responsibility to family, and access to significant family members as supports for success in school and life. The participants identified the themes of familistic orientation and strong ethnic identity development as the root of their resiliency. The interconnection of Bronfenbrenner's (1994) ecological systems provided a deeper understanding for why familistic orientation and strong ethnic identified development were critical in the adolescents' resilience. Most importantly, participants advised educators to get to know the students and families by building relationships in order to support the students' academic success in school. Participants shared counter-stories challenging dominant social order and most importantly legitimized their funds of knowledge as assets.
Educators wanting to support Latino adolescent males' success in schools can use the information in this study to better understand the importance of student voice in academic achievement. By hearing the multiple perspectives in educational environments, educators, students, and families create spaces where equitable outcomes are possible.

Full textUsing Urie Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Model of Human Development, this thesis also explores the environmental factors contributing to a rise in deviant behavior in segments of the Montreal ultra-Orthodox community. From an analysis of data obtained from numerous interviews with community members as well as with mental health professionals familiar with this group, four contributing factors to the rise of deviant behavior among adolescent boys are identified. These factors test current haredi methods of maintaining strong cultural boundaries and may suggest that changes are necessary to cope with current challenges. The lure of mainstream culture is a strong draw for adolescents and advances in technology allow these individuals to easily engage in secret deviant behavior while remaining in good standing within the community. Moreover, the rigid structure of the school day with its long hours and intensive curriculum makes it difficult to accommodate the needs of all students. Changes in family structure, dynamics, and composition, as well as an increasingly stringent interpretation of religious law have also contributed to a rise in deviance. Finally, community financial weakness is explored as it relates to adolescence and a loss of religious identity.

Full textThe purpose of this study was examine a construct, relationship perceptions of the protégé by comparing t score means of the mentoring relationship and other proximal relationships-mother, father, peers, and teachers. The study targeted (a) Black adolescent males, (b) ages 12 to 17 years old, (c) enrolled in grades seven through 11 in school, and (d) involved a community-based mentoring program in suburban Washington, DC, which includes parts of Maryland. A nonintervention cross-sectional quantitative study design was used to examine the construct of perceived relationships of the protégé by comparing t score means from data collected using the Clinical Assessment of Interpersonal Relationships (a context-dependent, Likert-type, scale composed of five relationship scales of 35 items each). Three research questions guiding the study were: How does the protégé rate the mentoring relationship compared with either parental relationship? How does the protégé rate the mentoring relationship compared with the peers’ relationship? and How does the protégé rate the mentoring relationship compared with the teachers’ relationship? The sample consisted of 13 Black adolescent males (n = 13). The mentoring relationship received significantly higher ratings than the proximal relationships with the exception of the father relationship. Adolescents 12 to 15 years old rated the mentoring relationship higher than the proximal relationships but shifted higher ratings to the parental relationship during ages 16 to17 years old. It was recommended that mentors be instructed regarding (a) role relationships, (b) proper boundaries, (c) collaborating with protégé in planning the mentoring experience, and (d) the importance of mutual respect.
