Abstract:

Previous research has shown that many college students in the United States post content to social networking sites that they know would be considered inappropriate by employers and other authority figures. However, the phenomenon has not been extensively studied in cross-cultural context. To address this knowledge gap, a survey of college students in Australia, Denmark, the United Kingdom, and the United States was conducted. The study found a universal tendency among the four groups: students knew the content they were posting would be considered inappropriate by employers and other authority figures, but they chose to post it anyway. The article also reports on differences in the way this tendency was manifested and on related aspects of social networking across cultures, including decisions about privacy and information disclosure.

Abstract:

The low success rate of entrepreneurship is quite common for contemporary college students, and its main reason can be attributed to their lack of social experience and entrepreneurial guidance, thus, it’s of certain practical significance to study the social experience guidance for college students’ entrepreneurship and this paper aims to explore this problem based on social network. At first, this paper introduced the formation mechanism of the social experience guidance for college students’ entrepreneurship, proposed a novel Social Network Representation Learning (SNRL) method for college students’ entrepreneurship, which could attain more information of social experience guidance from networks with isomorphic substructures. Then, in the social network of college students’ entrepreneurship, this paper discussed the extraction method of structural subgraph of neighborhood space of college students and other entrepreneurial subject nodes, and proposed a method for building sub-networks similar to the scale and development state in the social network of college students’ entrepreneurship, and realized the information sharing of social and entrepreneurial experiences among sub-networks. At last, this paper constructed a Social and Entrepreneurial Experience Guidance (SEEG) model, and verified its effectiveness in experiments.

Abstract:

With the rapid development of the Internet, social networks have shown an unprecedented development trend among college students. Closer social activities among college students have led to the emergence of college students with new social characteristics. The traditional method of college students’ group classification can no longer meet the current demand. Therefore, this paper proposes a social network link prediction method-combination algorithm, which combines neighbor information and a random block. By mining the social networks of college students’ group relationships, the classification of college students’ groups can be realized. Firstly, on the basis of complex network theory, the essential relationship of college student groups under a complex network is analyzed. Secondly, a new combination algorithm is proposed by using the simplest linear combination method to combine the proximity link prediction based on neighbor information and the likelihood analysis link prediction based on a random block. Finally, the proposed combination algorithm is verified by using the social data of college students’ networks. Experimental results show that, compared with the traditional link prediction algorithm, the proposed combination algorithm can effectively dig out the group characteristics of social networks and improve the accuracy of college students’ association classification.

Abstract:

The present exploratory study was taken up to know about the various social networking sites that students use and the type of information shared by them on them. WhatsApp emerged as the most preferred medium for sharing messages, photos, and videos. There was a significant difference between the use of social media networks and the content shared on them. Content related to music, cooking, and movies were watched on the top three social networking sites namely YouTube, WhatsApp, and Instagram. The study found a significant difference between watched social media networks. There exists a significant difference regarding the different contents watched on social media. A significant difference between watched and shared content in different social media networks was also established. The three most important advantages of social media as perceived by the students were convenience in keeping in touch with friends, ease to learn new technology, knowledge of various academic institutions for higher studies across the country. Three disadvantages indicated by the study group were less physical activity, cybercrime, and privacy issues.

Abstract:

At present, in every sphere of human activity, using modern ICT is considered as a matter of course. Several human resources management institutions are aware of the potential of social networks in estabilishing and building relationships with their target groups. It is a trend to create job portals in social networks. These are currently an integrated part of communication with target audience and therefore also an objects of attention and reflexions. It is also the topic of this paper. The goal of this research is to determine the level of use of social networks by college students in Slovakia. Part of the research is also to discover the effect of social networks on job searching of a selected sample of students. The research was conducted on a sample of 407 slovak students. A questioning method in form of an online questionnaire was used. The obtained results were processed using methods of descriptive and test statistics. We studied the significance of gender on the frequency of using the internet to search for job opportunities via social networks, as well as the ability to apprehend the importance of personal presentation on social networks. The statistical testing did not prove any significant difference between men and women in the question of frequency of using internet to search for job opportunities, nor in the ability to apprehend the importance of personal presentation on social networks. A statistically significant difference in gender was proven only in case of using social networks in job searching. Women tend to use social networks to find jobs more often than men. These statements are proved by the results of tests of significance of mean changes at the 5% significance level, which means that they are valid with 95% probability.

Abstract:

This paper explores the role of identity in helping international students form social networks at an Australian institution and how these networks contribute to creating a sense of home away. The findings suggest that international students form distinct social networks that are not necessarily solely made up of fellow students from their home countries. Rather, international students form a mixture of social networks that are based on the complex individual identities of each student centred on a variety of common factors, such as: course of study, place of work, neighbourhood, culture, religion and personal interests (hobbies). Hence many students are part of social groups that consist of international students from their specific region and beyond, as well as local (Anglo and non-Anglo) students. These locally based social networks complement existing home-based networks which are maintained virtually through social media to create a home away from home.

Abstract:

Mapping and assessing social networks and the quality of their social support is a valuable intervention strategy for social workers. These networks have now spread onto the digital realm in the form of Online Social Networks (OSNs). This study investigated the nature of social support provided by such networks to their users in a rural mid-South University (USA) and explored parallels with the current understanding of social support in conventional social networks. A web-based survey administered to college students revealed that users of these online networks were predominantly undergraduate first year students, female, single, unemployed and from a variety of academic disciplines. The examination of the components of OSNs appears to mirror those of offline networks. They also seem to complement the effects of each other while contributing to an individual's support system. The paper concludes with critical implications of such online social networking for University students and social workers in practice and education.

Abstract:

This study examined how a group of Korean international students enrolled in a writing class in a United States business programme navigated their literacy practices through the use of KakaoTalk, a social networking application for smartphones. On the basis of 29 student interviews and a detailed narrative of one focal student’s activities in KakaoTalk group sessions, the study aimed to elucidate the less studied feature of literacy studies: the social networking methods that students mobilise to make meaning of their school literacy activities collaboratively and individually. The study findings suggest that students’ identities and literacy performances shape one another through the intersection of local and global forces. Theories of identity and the Korean concept of “in-maek” offer important insights into the dynamic interchange of students’ social and literacy practices and identities. This study provides insights into the influence of such identity work on students’ academic experiences and the development of a curriculum for a business programme writing class.

Abstract:

Anecdotally, social connections made in university have life-long impact. Yet knowledge of social networks formed in college remains episodic, due in large part to the difficulty and expense involved in collecting a suitable dataset for comprehensive analysis. To advance and systematize insight into college social networks, we describe a dataset of the largest online social network platform used by college students in the United States. We combine de-identified and aggregated Facebook data with College Scorecard data, campus-level information provided by U.S. Department of Education, to produce a dataset covering the 2008-2015 entry year cohorts for 1,159 U.S. colleges and universities, spanning 7.6 million students. To perform the difficult task of comparing these networks of different sizes we develop a new methodology. We compute features over sampled ego-graphs, train binary classifiers for every pair of graphs, and operationalize distance between graphs as predictive accuracy. Social networks of different year cohorts at the same school are structurally more similar to one another than to cohorts at other schools. Networks from similar schools have similar structures, with the public/private and graduation rate dimensions being the most distinguishable. We also relate school types to specific outcomes. For example, students at private schools have larger networks that are more clustered and with higher homophily by year. Our findings may help illuminate the role that colleges play in shaping social networks which partly persist throughout people's lives.

Abstract:

Information about college students’ social networks plays a pivotal role in college students’ mental health monitoring and student management. While there have been many studies to infer social networks by data mining, the mining of college students’ social networks lacks consideration of homophily. College students’ social behaviors show significant homophily in the aspect of major and grade. Consequently, the inferred inter-major and inter-grade social ties will be erroneously omitted without considering such an effect. In this work, we aimed to increase the fidelity of the extracted networks by alleviating the homophily effect. To achieve this goal, we propose a method that combines the sliding time-window method with the hierarchical encounter model based on association rules. Specifically, we first calculated the counts of spatial–temporal co-occurrences of each student pair. The co-occurrences were acquired by the sliding time-window method, which takes advantage of the symmetry of the social ties. We then applied the hierarchical encounter model based on association rules to extract social networks by layer. Furthermore, we propose an adaptive method to set co-occurrence thresholds. Results suggested that our model infers the social networks of students with better fidelity, with the proportion of extracted inter-major social ties in entire social ties increasing from 0.89% to 5.45% and the proportion of inter-grade social ties rising from 0.92% to 4.65%.

Abstract:

Using a qualitative approach, we sought to understand the social networks and decision-making strategies of minority males as they choose to attend a postsecondary institution. Data were obtained from interviews where students self-report perceptions of their college transition process. Our findings suggest that students’ social networks are inefficient, disrupted, and fractured resulting in prominent informational gaps that impacted matriculation decisions. We liken students’ knowledge about the transition to college to a tip of an iceberg; that is, participants only developed a surface-level understanding of the college process. We conclude with implications for policy and practice.

Abstract:

Abstract Social media networks are being used heavily by people from different social, economic, and educational backgrounds all over the world. University, college, and high-school students constitute a main faction of social media network users. In this study, a framework for student learning using social media network environment is developed. The framework is founded in the self-determination theory (SDT). The self-determination theory is one of the important theories of motivation and personality. Its focus is geared towards both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation issues. It addresses three universal innate and psychological needs: competence, autonomy, and psychological relatedness. A person’s social environment necessitates caring for these three needs in order for the person to actualize their potential, function and grow optimally. In addition to creating the social environment that caters for students’ psychological needs, for a new framework of learning using social media to be successfully adopted by students it needs to address their cognitive, emotional and contextual interests. Towards this end, this study explores and founds the conceptual grounds of a social media learning framework. Keywords: Social media network, learning, self-determination theory, motivation, competence, autonomy, relatedness.

Abstract:

As the marcher of life in the times, the network has penetrated into all fields of life and played an immeasurable role. As a specific contemporary group, college students have a weak sense of self-protection and are very vulnerable to adverse factors. Some colleges and universities are trying to explore various psychological intervention modes in order to conduct psychological counselling and prediction more objectively. Network mental education means that, on the premise of using social networks, educators use psychological science methods to exert a positive impact on all aspects of students' mental health education, so as to promote the development of contemporary mental health of college students under social networks and cultivate the correct mentality of using social networks. It is combined with the established college students' rational correlation analysis system. Based on the collected data and basic information of college students' rational evaluation, the improved mining algorithm is used, and some rules and characteristics of college students' psychological related factors are analyzed from the results, which provides a new idea for college students' rational health education. Aiming at realizing the embedded data mining technology in the psychological management system, this paper expounds in detail the design and implementation of the data mining technology module suitable for the psychological management system and discusses the factors affecting students' mental health.

Abstract:

Drawing on interviews with 38 black and Latino/a engineering students at a predominantly white, elite university, I use a cultural analytic framework to explicate the role of pre–college integration in the heterogeneous psychosocial and academic experiences of students of color on predominantly white campuses. I identify three cultural strategies students of color adopt to navigate the university’s ethnoracially segregated peer network landscape and more specifically, engage majority–white academic peer networks: integration, marginalized segregation, and social adaptation. Integrators, who hail from predominantly white high schools, engage majority–white academic networks with ease, do not experience ethnoracial marginalization, and form predominantly white networks in college. Marginalized segregators, who come from predominantly black, Latino/a, or mixed high schools, exhibit discomfort engaging majority–white academic networks, experience ethnoracial marginalization, and form predominantly same–race or co–ethnic networks in college. Finally, social adapters, who come from high schools with varying ethnoracial compositions, manage their experiences with ethnoracial marginalization to engage majority–white academic networks with ease, and the ethnoracial composition of their college networks varies. The findings extend previous scholarship on the experiences of black and Latino/a students on predominantly white campuses and uncover the cultural processes that contribute to the reproduction of inequality among students of color.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore what motivates college students to use LinkedIn and what inhibits them from fully adopting it. Design/methodology/approach – A qualitative approach applying a “uses and gratifications” framework was used to identify the motives of and barriers faced by college students with respect to the LinkedIn usage. The study includes data collected from 30 upper-level, undergraduate business students. Findings – Four uses and gratifications categories emerged explaining why college students would be willing to use LinkedIn. Three categories – interpersonal communication, online identity and information – are similar to those identified for using social networks, such as Facebook, MySpace and Bebo. Career development was found to be a category gratifying only LinkedIn users. Barriers to LinkedIn adoption included students’ ignorance of the network and the erroneous perception that a presence on LinkedIn should be initiated and/or developed only after graduation. Originality/value – College students’ behavior on social networks, such as Facebook and MySpace, was extensively researched employing the uses and gratifications theory. LinkedIn has recently reached about 200 million users, of which about 30 million are college students and recent graduates. Still, students’ motives, usage patterns and barriers associated with LinkedIn have not been well-documented, which creates a gap that this study attempts to address. The aim is to shed light on what motivates students to use a professional network as opposed to using social networks and what key barriers might prevent college students from fully capitalizing on LinkedIn’s features.

<p class="0abstract">The cultivation of talents has always been the basis of the development of economy, science and technology and the overall strength of all countries. With the further deepening of China's reform and opening up, the rapid development of the market economy and the gradual improvement of the level of information technology, the education sector is paying more attention to the cultivation of talents in all walks of life in China. As for college students is about to walk into society, how to learned during college all kinds of professional knowledge and skills in the future life and work, how reasonable in the future workplace, properly handle interpersonal relationships, how to better integrate into social life, reflect their own value, and to raise their competitive strength, and observe the rules and regulations, laws and regulations, Have a good moral integrity, set up the correct world outlook, outlook on life, values. All these are closely related to the social adaptability of college students. Physical education is an important way to implement quality-oriented education and cultivate talents with all-round development, which was clearly pointed out in the Guidelines for Physical Education Course Teaching in National Colleges and Universities issued in 2002.In the given physical education teaching objectives also explains that the students are required to show good sports ethics and cooperative spirit as well as correctly deal with the relationship between competition and cooperation.</p>

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to determine predictors of social network services use among college students at two Turkish universities, with particular emphasis on Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, and Instagram. Design/methodology/approach – A written questionnaire was administered to 822 college students from various faculties. The data obtained from the corresponding questionnaire were analyzed using ordered logit analysis and four different models were independently estimated with respect to social network services. Findings – Ordered logit estimation results revealed that frequency of log in to social network sites, time spent on social network sites, and following event alerts were three predictors that had significant impact on the frequency of all four social network sites’ use. Particularly; event participation, information sharing, following on top ranked topics, and purchasing a product through social media were the other additional predictors of college students’ willingness to use the corresponding social network sites. Originality/value – Although a vast literature exists on the use of social network services among college students, relatively little work was published which compares several social network services and predictors of their use. This paper may contribute to the existing literature by presenting the predictors of college students’ use of four different social network services in a specific area of Turkey and providing a comprehensive comparison between them.

Abstract:

Based on the social ecological approach, a photovoice study was conducted to explore how neighborhood built and social environments facilitate or hinder college students’ lifestyle behaviors, including physical activity, active transportation, and dietary behavior. A total of 37 college students took photos about neighborhood built and social environments that may affect their physical activity, dietary behavior, and active transportation, and shared their perceptions about how neighborhood built and social environments influence their lifestyle behaviors. Our findings demonstrated that the availability and accessibility of services, school facilities, and home facilities affected physical activity and dietary behaviors among college students. Moreover, the well-developed transportation facilities and networks benefit college students’ active transportation. Environments-based interventions are recommended in future research to better understand the associations between neighborhood built and social environments and lifestyle behaviors in college students.

Abstract:

Social progress is driven by innovation; especially, in the context of “Internet +” innovation and entrepreneurship, college students serve as a frontier group that brings new ideas and new technologies into society, and as such college students’ creativity and innovation behavior are important for their country’s future social and economic development. Therefore, China vigorously advocates the cultivation of college students’ innovative ability to meet the needs of the development of the times. Determining the key factors currently influencing innovation behavior by college students is an area of current research interest. Building on the literature, this study uses the questionnaire survey method to analyze data from 226 college students relating to creativity, innovation behavior, and creative self-efficacy, exploring the mechanisms by which the students’ creativity affects their innovation behavior in the context of “Internet +” innovation and entrepreneurship. The results show that creativity has a significant positive effect on innovation behavior among college students and that creative self-efficacy plays a mediating role in this relationship.

Due to the uncertainty of the factors that influence the network service time and other characters of college student, Bayesian Network is used to model this kind of system. Different algorithms are used for learning Bayesian Networks in order to compare several models. It is suggested that researchers can use Bayesian Networks to explore the potential relationship between variables of complex social problems. The result indicates that learning target and family closeness degree are the key variables which influenced college students network service time. Origin of student and family economy didnt influence college students network service time directly. Schools and community should strengthen the education of college students life planning and communication with parents.

Abstract:

The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of using social communication networks in teaching geography to develop academic achievement and self-efficacy of college of education students. For achieving that, the researcher prepared a teaching guide, a test in academic achievement and a scale of self-efficacy in teaching. The study sample was (86) students, divided into two groups; the experimental group was (42) students and the control group was (44) students. The pre – test was conducted on both groups; experimental and control. The experimental group studied the course using social networks (Facebook) where the control group studied the course using the traditional method. Then, the post – test was conducted on both groups. The study results showed significant statistical differences between mean scores of the experimental group students and that of the control group students on the post test of the academic achievement test and the scale of self-efficacy in teaching in favor of the experimental group students. This suggests the effectiveness of using social communication networks in teaching geography to develop academic achievement and selfefficacy of college of education students.

Abstract:

This study examined the role of social support networks in student persistence among residential and commuter students at an urban technical arts college for a 12-week duration. Fifteen commuter students and 25 residential students completed the study. The research methodology was social network analysis. Findings indicate that commuter students are less likely to persist in their college studies, students residing in student housing facilities experience significant and abrupt changes in social network density. However, residential students who reported making greater numbers of new friends with connections to the school also reported attaining personal and academic goals at a rate significantly greater than other subjects. The article concludes with a discussion about the role and importance of a socially connected academic community to learning and persistence.

Abstract:

Social capital research has demonstrated the value of relationships and networks to enhance college opportunity for first-generation students. While most work has focused on individual students and their ties, high schools play a critical role in social capital processes by connecting students to external college access organizations and resources. This case study employs Mario Small’s organizational brokerage theory to investigate social capital formation among college-bound first-generation youth in an urban high school. Specifically, we explore how the school itself brokered college-going resources through its partner organizations. Findings illustrate a range of passive and active brokerage strategies that influenced the quantity and quality of available resources, and in turn, the amount of student agency required to secure social capital gains.

Abstract:

Education in Indonesia, especially higher education institutions, has a role to build interaction between religious adherents. How is this experience of tolerance in religiously based higher education institutions where the majority of students and staff are religious according to the institution. One of the largest religious-based higher education networks in Indonesia is the Muhammadiyah Universities or Perguruan Tinggi Muhammadiyah (PTM) network. Muhammadiyah as one of the largest Islamic organizations in Indonesia which has a network of higher education spread across various parts of Indonesia where students studying have diverse religious backgrounds. This study aimed to examine the dynamics of social identity in the experience of non-Moslem students at Muhammadiyah College. This research uses qualitative research methods using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Six participants, Christian, Catholic, Hindu, and Buddhist from four Muhammadiyah College in the province of Central Java - Indonesia, were interviewed and analyzed to obtain core themes. The results of this study produced five superordinate themes, namely the influence of the environment, personal characteristics, perceptions of the religion adopted, experience as a Muhammadiyah College Student, and perceptions of Islam and Muhammadiyah. The conclusion of this study shows the psychological dynamics of non-Muslim students shape the perception of Islam itself as a religion, also Muhammadiyah as an Islamic organization.

Abstract:

In this study, we examined the impact of college students’ mental health on their social behavior. A social network was identified based on the behavior of college students sharing a meal. We analyzed the impact of depression on the structure of this network and found that students without obvious depressive symptoms, based on the test data of the SCL-90 Assessment Scale, were better at socializing than students with obvious depressive symptoms. We proposed a public opinion spreading model on social networks and formulated a heterogeneous mean-field theory to describe it. Further, using computer simulation experiments, we studied the impact of students’ mental health on the process of information propagation in college. The results of the experiments showed that students without obvious depressive symptoms were more likely to receive information than students with obvious depressive symptoms. Based on the results of our study, college psychological consultants can actively identify students who may be at risk of mental illness and give them attention and guidance.

Abstract The formation of friendships is central to the college experience. Yet little is known about the relationships young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities form through their inclusive postsecondary education programs or maintain after graduation. We interviewed 12 current students and alumni about their social networks and their views regarding friendships. Participants shared their perspectives on the multiple meaning of friendship, the size and composition of their social networks, and the areas in which college has positively impacted their social lives. We offer recommendations for research and practice aimed at understanding and enhancing friendship formation within the inclusive higher education movement.

Abstract:

Understanding and solving the psychological health problems of college students have become a focus of social attention. Complex networks have become important tools to study the factors affecting psychological health, and the Gaussian graphical model is often used to estimate psychological networks. However, previous studies leave some gaps to overcome, including the following aspects. (1) When studying networks of subpopulations, the estimation neglects the intrinsic relationships among subpopulations, leading to a large difference between the estimated network and the real network. (2) Because of the high cost, previous psychological surveys often have a small sample size, and the psychological description is insufficient. Here, the intrinsic connections among multiple tasks are used, and multitask machine learning is applied to develop a multitask Gaussian graphical model. The psychological networks of the population and subpopulations are estimated based on psychological questionnaire data. This study is the first to apply a psychological network to such a large-scale college student psychological analysis, and we obtain some interesting results. The model presented here is a dynamic model based on complex networks which predicts individual behavior and provides insight into the intrinsic links among various symptoms.

Abstract:

The use of social networking by college students has become increasingly relevant to their academic lives. Smartphones have added great potential by enabling an increase in the use of social networking and in the number of hours spent on such sites. Being online for a long time and being able to access different information from different sources at the same time could cause information overload. Students could face problems in filtering the information they receive and they might find it difficult to decide which sources they can trust and, therefore, which to select. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of social networking on college students. To achieve this aim, the research employs various methodologies which include descriptive/interpretive studies of the literature and previous studies carried out by academics and industrial institutions. It also utilizes surveys taken among university students. A questionnaire was distributed among 179 students at different universities and higher education institutes in the Sultanate of Oman in order to explore the influence on college students of social networking using their smartphones. There are three main findings: 1) college students spend a long time on social networking sites, 2) college students are facing problems in trusting, filtering, and selecting all the different information accessed from social networking sites, and 3) social networks affect students in both positive and negative ways.

Abstract:

In the internet era, the college student groups are internet users who use the internet more widely and deeply than the ordinary internet users. However, college students have insufficient social experience and live in a relatively simple living environment for a long time, which makes them have low ability to distinguish the true from the false, so they are easily targeted by cyber scammers. This paper analyzes the causes and the basic types of online fraud cases that happened to college students; the fraud case data are classified and sorted to extract the salient features of the telecom network fraud cases of college students and the common features of the victims. The paper provides suggestions for guiding college students to learn to screen online fraud and self-protect and to cultivate more comprehensive high-quality talents.

Abstract:

This paper aims to further solve the risks encountered by college students in the process of employment and entrepreneurship in rural areas and improve the success rate of employment and entrepreneurship. It presents a method of social environment analysis based on college students’ rural employment and entrepreneurship. This method deeply understands the employment and entrepreneurship environment of college students, deeply analyzes and identifies the constituent elements of college students’ rural employment and entrepreneurship environment, and takes the social environment of college students’ rural employment and entrepreneurship as the research object. With the help of questionnaire survey and data analysis, the survey shows that, in the channel selection of job hunting in the future, up to 77.20% choose to apply for a job through job fairs, and 69.60% will use advertising media such as networks and newspapers; 26.50% will apply for jobs through the talent market; 31.30% will apply for a job through relatives and friends; 15.40% will apply for jobs through independent entrepreneurship. This paper constructs the evaluation model of entrepreneurship and employment environment from the perspective of subjectivity and puts forward the optimization strategy of entrepreneurship and employment environment from four fields: policy environment, capital environment, education environment, and cultural environment.

Abstract:

Given the widespread use of social media among adolescents, online interactions that facilitate high school students’ college knowledge acquisition could have a transformative impact on college access patterns, especially for underrepresented students. Our study uses interview data collected from Black high school students in Detroit ( N = 24) to examine their experiences and perceptions as they prepare for the transition to post-secondary education. In contrast to traditional social capital perspectives that tend to dominate social media scholarship, we instead employ a Community Cultural Wealth framework to reveal how students access distinctive forms of cultural resources via online and offline interactions. Our findings suggest students used social media to access cultural wealth as they (1) developed post-secondary educational aspirations, (2) planned to navigate the post-secondary admissions process, (3) resisted stereotypes about youth from Detroit, and (4) engaged in platform-switching to cultivate their college information networks online.

Abstract:

Background: Social networks include websites and applications that allow users to share content, ideas, opinions, beliefs, feelings, and personal, social, and educational experiences. Thus, considering the key role of students in promoting the quality of physical and mental health of society, and also due to the lack of knowledge on the type of relationship between social networking addiction and academic performance of the students of medical sciences, the present study was designed and implemented. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of social media among the students of medical sciences and their behaviour changes. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among medical students. Stratified random sampling was used. The study tools included personal information form and the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS-18.0. Results: Most of the students are using social media for studies and to talk with their friends and whenever they feel alone. Conclusion: Over all the social media use age was moderate. Overall, social media appeared to be very useful tool for students’ community as they use them to improve their studies and carrier development. However, their negative effects seemed to be very poor as compared to their positive effects.

The aim of the study is to identify the level of academic procrastination among students of AlMaarif University College, Iraq, and its prevalence, and whether there is a difference in its level according to academic specialization, academic levels, gender (males, females), and economic and social level. The study was applied to a sample of (234) male and female students divided into (6) six sections, according to the academic specialization and its stages. The researcher used a scale consisting of (22) items. The results of the study revealed that (67, 19%) of the students are of high academic procrastination, (71, 51%) have average procrastination, and (63, 28%) have low procrastination. The results also showed that the arithmetic means of the total sample was ( 57, 63) degrees, while the hypothetical average is (66) degrees, and when arranging the arithmetic average degrees according to the academic specialization in descending order, it turned out that the highest was among the students of the Department of Medical Laboratory Technologies, then followed by the Department of Civil Engineering, the Computer Technologies Department, the Department of English Language, Physical education, and the lowest was the Arabic language department, and it was found that the level of academic procrastination in the pure scientific departments is higher than that of students in the humanities departments, and this means that there is a relationship between academic procrastination and the variable of academic specialization, while the research revealed that there is no relationship between academic procrastination and the variables of academic specialization. Academic levels and gender (males, females), while it was clear that there was a weak relationship between academic procrastination and the economic, and social level.

Abstract:

During the next decade, enrollment growth in Information Systems (IS) related majors is unlikely to meet the predicted demand for qualified IS graduates. Gender imbalance in the IS related program makes the situation worse as enrollment and retention of women in the IS major has been proportionately low compared to male. In recent years, majority of high school and college students have integrated social networking sites in their daily life and habitually use these sites. Providing female students access to role models via an online social network may enhance their motivation to continue as an IS major and pursue a career in IS field. For this study, the authors follow the action research process – exploration of information systems development. In particular, a Facebook application was developed to build the social network connecting role models and students. Using the application, a basic framework is tested based on the gender of participants. The results suggest that it is necessary to have adequate number of role models accessible to students as female role-models tend to select fewer students to develop relationships with a preference for female students. Female students likely prefer composite role models from a variety of sources. This pilot study yields valuable lessons to provide informal learning fostered by role modeling via online social networks. The Facebook application may be further expanded to enhance female students' interests in IS related careers.

Abstract:

Background: Promise programs have grown exponentially. Yet, we are still learning how systemic barriers affect promise program students’ abilities to meet promise program requirements and their postsecondary goals. Objective: The Degree Project (TDP) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was the nation’s first randomized control trial of a promise scholarship. Thirty-six high schools were assigned to control or treatment group and the TDP scholarship was available to any of the 2,587 ninth-grade students in the 18 treatment schools. As students experienced senior year, our aim was to understand more about the mechanisms in a promise context, such as the extent to which promise students in their senior year of high school would share any particular norms and resources received and used toward postsecondary planning and preparation that non-TDP students would not. Research Design: In fall 2011, a randomized group of ninth graders (class of 2015) were notified of TDP’s US$12,000 promise scholarship and their promise scholarship eligibility if merit requirements (e.g., 2.5 grade point average [GPA], 90% attendance) were met; a control group of ninth graders were not eligible. As the class of 2015 reached their senior year of high school, we interviewed a subset of TDP and non-TDP students to explore their perceptions of their senior year experiences. Using social capital theory, promise program research, and college access literature, we explored their perceptions, including the extent to which between-school and within-school inequities shaped the norms and resources received and used toward scholarship eligibility and their postsecondary goals. Findings: Study findings unpack how TDP students and non-TDP students navigate schools that are rife with both historical and contemporary inequitable arrangements that influence senior year course-taking, supplemental programming, and postsecondary advising—even for those students who were promised money for college in ninth grade. Study findings also unpack how TDP students’ access to supportive mechanisms and networks of support were uneven, even within the same school, which particularly affected students who needed the most support to meet their postsecondary aims and TDP scholarship requirements. Conclusion: Although the TDP scholarship was made available to students in their ninth-grade year, mechanisms and networks of support were not universally available and timely enough to disrupt the layers of inequalities within TDP schools and between high schools. Recommendations include disrupting existing inequitable arrangements and offering a more layered, systematic approach to introducing college-related information (personalized, hands-on guidance and support beyond scholarship messaging).
