Full textAbstract:
Science Hunters is an outreach project based at Lancaster University, UK. It uses the computer game Minecraft, alongside interactive discussion and hands-on demonstrations, to engage children with scientific research topics and science learning. As part of ongoing evaluation, the efficacy of this approach as an educational intervention was tested via pre- and post-activity questionnaires for two session topics,with 492 children participating through schools in 2017 and 2018. Statistically significant mprovement in subject knowledge was seen in post-intervention scores for both topics. There was some variation in both absolute and improvement score results between boys and girls, and primary and secondary school students. Participation leads to improved subject knowledge and understanding, regardless of prior existing knowledge.

Full textAbstract:
Family leadership is one of the vital aspects that influences and determines both the wellbeing and successful education of a girl-child. Unfortunately, the role of family leadership in ensuring girls' education is oversimplified into getting girls enrolled in school rather than warranting their perseverance in learning and successful completion. As a result, many communities in Tanzania, especially those in rural and marginalized areas are experiencing persistent girl–child school dropouts. It is against this standpoint that we sought to find out how family leadership may influence secondary school girls’ dropouts. We also explored possible measures which should be employed to eliminate girl-child school dropouts. In conducting this study, we employed a mixed research approach and convergent parallel design. We collected data through interviews and questionnaires involving 143 respondents including girl students, teachers, heads of schools, and district educational officers. Our findings from this study indicate that while the government of Tanzania has made remarkable efforts to ensure girls’ continuity and successful completion of secondary education, there are a number of factors hindering girls’ continuity and completion of secondary education. Weak family leadership, the improper raising of the children, less emphasis and interest on the importance of girls’ education, limited cooperation between family leadership were among the reason for continuous girl-child school dropout. Hence, based on our findings and the significance of girl’s education as well as the role which parents should play in ensuring girls achievement of education, we appeal to various educational leaders, to make strategic efforts in raising more awareness among rural and marginalized communities about the importance of educating girls and the role of family leadership in bringing to an end the phenomena of girl-child school dropout which is catastrophic to the long-awaited sustainable development. Moreover, we call upon all parents, to make intentional efforts in mentoring and influencing girls to strive towards achieving formal education

Full textAbstract:
Adolescence is a very active period of person’s different changes in body and mind. There are diverse facets that mark child's life. This paper highlights empirical results of a study of home environment of school going adolescents of age group 16-19 years. The purposes of the study are to study the nature of the variable under study viz. home environment and to find the gender difference on home environment of adolescents. The results revealed that there exists no major difference with regard to home environment except in the area of permissiveness where adolescent boys face more problem than adolescent girls. The mean score of adolescent girls is more as compared to boys that indicates that adolescent girls are provided with more opportunities to direct their outlooks freely and act according to their desires in comparison to adolescent boys.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the ways in which Nonconformist missionary societies worked hand in hand with the British and Foreign School Society (BFSS) to provide them with pedagogic training in the British System and BFSS teaching manuals and resources, as part of their evangelical mission of conversion in the British West Indies, Africa and India in the nineteenth century. The BFSS appealed to Nonconformist missionaries because it was based on unsectarian pedagogy, pioneered by the educationalist Joseph Lancaster. The article explores the various obstacles these missionaries faced, including the religious persecution they experienced in teaching an unsectarian system and the educational difficulties they experienced in persuading parents and local governments of the value of elementary education. It also draws attention to the ways in which they fought race and sex prejudice in the teaching of Africans, slaves and young girls. The current literature on missionary activities in the early nineteenth century pays scant attention to their role as educators: the article reveals the degree of their educational ambition and zeal and the lengths they went to in order to implement a progressive system of unsectarian elementary instruction in key parts of the British empire during the nineteenth century.

Introduction: Junk food is increasingly becoming a part of the regular diet for most adolescents in India. Rich in fat and salt content, such food is known to cause nutritional, affective, behavioural, cognitive alterations. The present cross-sectional study thus aimed to understand the patterns of junk food consumption in school-going adolescents in India. Method: A semi-structured, self-administered, pre-tested questionnaire, created by AACCI, was administered in a public co-ed school in central Delhi. The survey consisted of questions on knowledge and choice of junk food and healthy habits. The sample consisted of 140 participants, who were 10th and 11th graders. Results: The foremost reason for choosing junk food was its taste in 78.8% of boys and in 72.3% of girls. There was no significant difference in the frequency of junk food consumption between girls and boys, however, their choices of food differed. Girls reported consuming more sweets (p = 0.034), while boys consumed more high-salt foods (p = 0.031) per week. Of the total boys (54%) and girls (46%), only 35% had a normal BMI. Conclusion: The consumption of junk food by school-going adolescents was high. The study highlights the need for nutritional education and regulatory mechanisms to help students monitor their junk food consumption and the importance of promoting healthy food alternatives, health care habits in this population.

AbstractObjectiveTo assess micronutrient intakes and the prevalence of inadequacy in a sample of high-school pupils in Ouarzazate, Morocco.DesignFood records were compiled over three non-consecutive days by pre-trained pupils. Micronutrient intakes were estimated using the DIAL software, adapted to include foods commonly eaten in Morocco. The prevalence of inadequacy was estimated by the proportion of individuals with intakes below the Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) for vitamins B12, A and K, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pyridoxine, folate, ascorbic acid, iodine, Ca, Mg and P; below the Adequate Intake (AI) level for pantothenic acid, biotin, Na and K; and using the probability approach for Fe. Data were adjusted for intra-individual variation with exclusion of under-reporters.SettingOuarzazate, a semi-urban region situated on the southern slopes of the High Atlas with little industrial development but an important tourism sector.SubjectsA self-selected sample of 312 pupils aged 15–19 years from the five public high schools. After exclusion of under-reporters, 293 remained for analysis.ResultsThe highest proportions of below-EAR/AI intakes were seen for pantothenic acid (girls 85·1 %, boys 78·0 %), biotin (boys 83·1 %, girls 79·4 %), thiamin (boys 66·9 %), folate (girls 93·1 %, boys 74·6 %), iodine (boys 94·9 %, girls 88·0 %) and Ca (girls 83·4 %, boys 74·6 %). Na intake was generally in excess whereas K intake was below the AI level. In general, girls had better-quality diets than boys, who appeared to consume more ‘empty calories’.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that in this population of Moroccan adolescents, nutritional intervention and educational strategies are needed to promote healthy eating habits and correct micronutrient inadequacies. To provide reliable and precise estimates of nutrient intakes, an update of Moroccan food composition databases is urgently needed. We recommend that national authorities address these issues.

Full textAbstract:
In facing the industrial 4.0 era, adolescents, especially high school students, need to complement their knowledge and skills learnt from school with behaviors that can help their career journey, namely the career exploration behavior (CEB). Referring to the triadic reciprocal determinism theory and gender role in Indonesian culture, this study aimed to examine the effect of parenting styles and gender on CEB. Specifically, this study examined the effect of paternal and maternal parenting styles on CEB in adolescent and compared its effect on boys and girls. Participants in this study were 427 boys and 397 girls with an average age of 17 from nine high schools. Career Exploration Survey and Parental Authority Questionnaire were used to assess participants’ CEB, and paternal and maternal parenting styles. Regression analysis showed different patterns effect of paternal and maternal parenting styles on CEB between boys and girls. For boys, parenting that was found to improve CEB were paternal authoritative parenting and maternal authoritarian parenting, while for girls, parenting that was found to improve CEB were paternal authoritarian parenting and maternal authoritative parenting. These results indicated that boys and girls need different parenting factors from father and mother. Limitation and suggestion are discussed.

Background and aims: Decreased levels of physical activity (PA) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic can cause physical and psychological problems for individuals. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between PA, body image, and eating disorders (EDs) during the COVID-19 pandemic among high school girls in Farsan, Iran. Methods: This was a descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study, and the research population included female high school students from Farsan, Iran, who were studying in 2019-2020. In this regard, 535 high school girls (age: 15.95±1.42, weight: 53.07±10.01, BMI: 20.14±3.48) were selected based on cluster-random sampling to participate in the study. Multidimensional Body Self-relation Questionnaire (MBSRQ), Baecke’s Physical Activity Questionnaire, and the Eating Disorder Diagnostic Scale (EDDS) were used to collect data, and Pearson correlation coefficients were administered to establish statistical relationships. Results: The results indicated significant positive correlations between body image and PA levels (r=0.304, P=0.001). However, no significant correlations were observed between body image and anorexia nervosa (AN) (r=-0.035, P=0.424), bulimia nervosa (BN) (r=-0.033, P=0.446), and binge ED (r=-0.041, P=0.339). Likewise, no relationships were observed between PA and AN (r=0.084, P=0.052), BN (r=0.073, P=0.092), as well as binge ED (r=0.071, P=0.099). Conclusion: During the COVID-19 pandemic, PA was positively associated with body image but not with EDs. Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that PA improved body image in adolescent girls during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Full textAbstract:
When industrial schools were initially proposed in late nineteenth-century Canada, they were perceived to be a common solution for the neglected and delinquent working-class boy of the urban slums and for the Aboriginal boy in need of similar education, discipline, and moral and vocational training. This undertaking briefly encapsulated the twinned aims of Canada's nation-building project: to civilize and acculturate both the poor and the colonized to middle-class, Western, white and Anglo norms. As John Comaroff and Jean Comaroff remark of nineteenth-century British imperialism, the taming of the “uncivilised and immoral” indigenous African and British slum dweller were overlapping projects, with the “primitive and the pauper” seen as “one in spirit. …the sacred task of the colonizing mission was to reconstruct the home lives of both” by inculcating in their daily lives the bourgeois values of “modern domesticity.”

The aim of the article was to study the manifestation of school anxiety in adolescents, depending on the characteristics of the child-parent relationship. Theoretical aspects of school anxiety in adolescence are analyzed, its factors and consequences are outlined. It is shown that the central cause of various forms of anxiety in children and adolescents are the peculiarities of the child-parent relationship. The empirical part of the study involved 109 adolescents aged 12 to 15 years (51 boys and 58 girls). Phillips' "School Anxiety Test" and E. Schaefer's questionnaire ADOR - "Teenagers about Parents" adapted by L. Wasserman, I. Gorkova and E. Romitsyna were used. Descriptive statistics, Kolmogorov-Smirnov criterion, correlation analysis, comparative analysis using Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis test were used for data processing. The results of the empirical study demonstrate the gender and age peculiarities of anxiety in adolescence. It was found that among the manifestations of anxiety the greatest severity is the fear of not meeting the requirements of others. Differences between different forms of school anxiety among adolescent girls and boys are described. In particular, girls have significantly higher levels of general anxiety at school, fear of selfexpression, fear in the test situation and lower levels of physiological resistance to stress than boys. It is shown that the level of severity of certain forms of school anxiety increases significantly among adolescents aged 14-15 years. It has been shown that there is a link between different forms of school anxiety and parental attitudes towards adolescents. Among the various dimensions of parenting, boys are most sensitive to hostility on the part of the mother, which is associated with a number of forms of anxiety: fear of self-expression, fear of not meeting the demands of others, reduced physiological stress resistance. While among girls, the manifestation of certain forms of anxiety decreases with increasing manifestation of positive interest from the mother and hostility from the father.

The purpose of this research is to create a model of interaction between steps/day counts regarding genders, seasons of a year, and days of week.
Material and Methods. Totally 74 of 4-th grade pupils (38 boys and 36 girls) from three primary schools in the industrial city were involved into the pedometer investigation. All the students were good healthy, and they participated in the schools’ lessons of physical education according to the common program. Pedometer determined physical activity was measured during a day using fitness tracker band. The measurements were done during one academic year using three full weeks (a week in autumn, winter, and spring). ANOVA was used to determine differences between samples grouped according days of weeks.
Results. A strong significant difference between counts of steps during days of week for boys (p = 0.006) and smaller for girls (p = 0.052) were discovered with corresponding parts in the total variation (62.5 and 46.0 %). The same significant differences were discovered between mean counts in seasons (p = 0.053, 0.037) with corresponding parts in the total variation (14.5, 22.8 %). Rather significant variations of interaction between days of week and mean season results took place for boys (23.0%) as well for girls (31.1 %).
Conclusions. During evaluation of physical activity in children based on steps/day counts, interaction between gender, season, and day of week should be taken into consideration.

Full textAbstract:
The study is dated to 140th anniversary of the birth of the outstanding representative of the Tatar people, Bagbustan Vildanovna Mukminova (1884–1963). She is a well-known educator, teacher and author of numerous articles on women’s issues. Thanks to her, in 1908 the first new-method school, the Bagbustan School, was opened in Orenburg, which operated until 1918. Baghbustan Khanum resumes summer pedagogical courses created at the turn of the 19th – 20th centuries on the initiative of Gabdulgani Khusainov in the village of Kabanovo, Burzyan-Kipchak Volost, Orenburg Province. She is one of the first Tatar women to receive an official certificate from the Orenburg Muslim Spiritual Assembly, which allowed teaching activities. B. Mukminova went to Turkey in 1914 to study teaching experience and improve education. There she seeked permission to enter the parliament and spoke before local deputies. That was an unheard of event for Turkey and was covered by the Turkish press. The presented article presents the biographical facts and principal directions of B.V. Mukminova’s pedagogical activities. The study is based on a secondary analysis of information from the book “Un ellyk gyilmi hezmat”, dedicated to the 10th anniversary of Baghbustan School and its leader's pedagogical work. The book, prepared by members of the Orenburg Muslim Women’s Society, describes the history of the Bagbustan School from the first days of its existence, mentions people who provided material and moral support to the school, lists the subjects taught, discloses the income and expenses of the educational institution, and highlights the work of pedagogical courses. The publication describes in detail Baghbustan Khanum's trip to Turkey and contains the memoirs of the teacher of the Ak-Mechet girls’ school, Hermez Muhammedova, who was a participant in the summer pedagogical courses. Particular attention is given to the note about Baghbustan Khanum from the Turkish newspaper “Tasfire Afkar”.

Background and purpose: Studies have revealed that girls are now having menarche much younger. An early menarche put young girls at higher risk for physical and psychological problems. This study aims to explore stages of readiness of girls aged 10-12 years for an early menarche. Method: A qualitative study was conducted in Denpasar City. A total of 20 students both from primary school and junior high school aged between 10 and 12 years were purposively selected to participate in the study. Ten students had menarche while the other 10 were yet to have menarche. Data were collected through in-depth interviews at the schools after approval from parents was obtained. Data were analysed using a thematic approach. Results: All informants have conceded the pre-contemplation and contemplation stages. Most of them were at the preparation stage. Some children were at the action stage though some were just entered the action stage. In-depth interviews revealed that the majority of informants understood the basic knowledge of menstruation. Their mother provided information and supports after they had menarche. However, some informants stated that they were panic, ashamed, and anxious during their menarche. They also believed that several activities including washing hair, drinking icy beverages, and eating sweets were forbidden. Conclusion: Some girls are not fully at the action stage leading to fear and shame when they had menarche. This suggests that a more comprehensive education program and psychological supports especially from mother should target younger girls to prepare them for an early menarche.

Methods included conversation with the class teacher, observation, sociometry, color relationship test, unfi nished sentence method. The sample of the study was represented by rd grade primary school students at school No. in Pskov (N=). The class is characterized by an increased tendency to fi ghts and bullying. Results. ) % of children show a positive attitude towards fi ghting. Of these, % are girls and % are boys. ) % of children are characterized by a positive attitude towards fi ghts and school, % show a negative attitude towards school with a positive attitude towards fi ghts. ) % of children show a negative attitude towards the teacher and a positive attitude towards fi ghts, % express a positive attitude towards both the teacher and fi ghts. Among those who like fi ghts there are the “star” of the class and people out of “preferred”. Two groups of children also positively related to fi ghts are formed around them. The fi rst group consists of girls, the second group includes boys. The reasons for fi ghts are verbal aggression (% is name-calling), phone and games (%), misunderstandings and differences of opinion between pupils (%) but there are also reasons such as unwillingness to share, arguments, the desire to protect a friend and fi ghts without causes. Bullying begins with fi ghts with the teacher’s observations. Thus, the factors provoking fi ghts and bullying are a positive attitude towards fi ghts among children with high sociometric status in the group, verbal aggression and misunderstanding between children, as well as unwillingness to share games on the phone.

Full textAbstract:
Given its various accomplishments and distinctions, the Manual Training and Industrial School for Colored Youth in Bordentown, New Jersey (which existed from 1886-1955), is surprisingly little known in the state or among historians of education. A state-supported boarding school for boys and girls, it combined a solid academic program with practical work experience through a highly structured school day and a dedicated faculty that also lived on campus. Its mission was to direct students, many from unstable backgrounds, into stable jobs or further education. Though frequently called “Tuskegee of the North,” the school as led by long-time principal William R. Valentine was arguably influenced as much by John Dewey, who in a 1915 book about progressive education had praised another school Valentine headed earlier. As a meeting place for black cultural leaders in the state from the 1920s through the 1940s, the school also exposed its students to avenues through life that could enable them to become leaders themselves. Thus, the school can be viewed as manifesting the priorities articulated by Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois, as well as by Dewey.

Full textAbstract:
By early 1863, Harriet Jacobs had long mastered reading people. Even before she could extend a hand to the stone-faced Julia Wilbur, she caught a flash of resentment in Wilbur's eyes. Jacobs decided against a handshake. “Miss Wilbur, I am Harriet Jacobs. Do you remember me?” she asked. Wilbur did remember Jacobs. In fact, Wilbur had not taken her eyes off of the immaculately but modestly dressed African American woman from the moment Jacobs stepped into the converted barracks that now served as a school for freedwomen and girls. Wilbur first met Jacobs in 1849 in Rochester, New York, when Wilbur was a teacher and the secretary of the Rochester Ladies’ Anti-Slavery Society. Then, Jacobs was a self-emancipated, former slave operating an antislavery reading room in the city. Yet, on this unseasonably warm evening of January 14, 1863, in a converted barracks in the District of Columbia, the wheels of fortune had indeed turned.

This study, based on a wide range of sources, some of which feature in academia for the first time, using a historical typological method, looks at the introduction of principles of physical education offered to children of the Enlightenment era into daily life of the schools of the Mariinsky Establishment. Throughout the eighteenth century, influential works from scholars such as John Locke and N.I. Novikov highlighted the importance of daily hygiene and healthy routine, cold water hardening, simple balanced diet, lightweight clothing, physical exercise in fresh air and other principles, which only became commonplace in public consciousness much later. Innovative approach to physical education, supported by the Russian state, was integrated into the governmental pedagogical doctrine and implemented in the second half of the eighteenth century in boarding schools and other educational establishments. Discussion. The study focuses on a school garden, examined as a vehicle for a healthy physical upbringing of children and adolescents. The article discusses how with time girls’ boarding schools’ gardens evolved into complexes with tree-lined alleys, winter and summer sports grounds, variety of swimming pools, vegetable and flower beds, galleries and alcoves. By the end of the nineteenth century at least, outside spaces in schools were overseen by doctors, who noted positive effects of prolonged fresh air exercise and swimming on the children

Background: Smoking means the activity or habit of smoking cigarettes; this is very much common all over the world. The consumption of cigarettes in developing countries is increasing, while in the industrialized country is declining or static. Objective: The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence of smoking among school children in Dhaka city. Material & Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in high schools of Dhaka city from June 2006 to December 2006. Students of classes VIII, IX and X were selected by random table selection. A total of 2474 participants were included in the study. The collected data were analyzed by using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS-24) for windows version 10.0. Results: The age of the study of children was between 12 to 18 years. Among the study children, 8(0.32%), 354(14.3%), 900(36.3%), 850(34.3%), 324(13.1%), 30(1.21%), 8(0.32%) belonged to 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 years of age respectively. Male and female students were 1876 (75.8%), 598 (24.2%) respectively. The prevalence of smoking among male and female students was 36.0% and 17.0% respectively. The prevalence was 32.0% and only 4.0% of the students are regular smokers combining boys and girls together. Only 06 (0.76%) did not want to leave smoking and 786 (99.24%) wanted to leave smoking. Conclusion: The prevalence was 32.0% among all students of this study. In boys, 36.0% were found smokers and in girls, 17.0% were smokers. Almost all (99.24%) students were willing to quit smoking in future. Adolescents should not be allowed to buy cigarettes for parents or family members.

Introduction. Adolescence period requires special supervision as these years link the impact of generational and early childhood factors to adult outcomes. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines 10-19 years as adolescence period, an important stage of growth and development in the lifespan of an individual. The present study assessed nutritional status among adolescents of two villages of Purba Medinipur, West Bengal, India. Materials and Methods. A cross-sectional study of 443 (208 boys; 235 girls) rural high school students aged 10–15 years of Ajaya and Deulpota villages, Khejuri- I block, Purba Medinipur district, West Bengal, India, was undertaken to evaluate their growth pattern and nutritional status. Anthropometric measurements, including height (cm), weight (kg), mid-upper arm circumference (cm), were measured following standard techniques. Stunting, underweight and thinness were used as indicators of nutritional status. Results. The overall prevalence of stunting, underweight and thinness were 20.32%, 1.81% and 46.95%, respectively. The prevalence of stunting was similar in both sexes (20.67% in boys; 20.0% in girls). The prevalence of thinness was very high among the studied participants (46.63% in boys; 47.23% in girls). According to the WHO classification for assessing severity of malnutrition, the rate of stunting and underweight were medium and low in both sexes, respectively. However, they had very high prevalence of thinness thus indicating a critical situation of undernutrition. Conclusion. The nutritional status of these rural school going adolescents was not satisfactory. The existing prevalence of stunting and thinness among the studied population indicates chronic nutritional deficiency while the low prevalence of underweight reflects that the chronic food deprivation they have undergone was during childhood, not in recent period. Follow up studies and intervention of government schemes are required to ameliorate this problem.

Abstract Background Previous studies suggest an overall increase of adolescent mental health symptoms globally since the 1980s until today, especially an increase of internalizing symptoms in girls. Due to methodological limitations of these studies, further studies are warranted to obtain a more solid knowledgebase. Methods This study was cross-sectional and compared two separate but geographically identical groups of adolescents in a middle-sized industrial municipality in Northern Sweden at two time-points [(i) 1981, n = 1083, (505 girls, 577 boys), response rate 99.7%; (ii) 2014, n = 682, (338 girls, 344 boys), response rate 98.3%]. All students in their last year of compulsory school were included. The same self-report questionnaire, consisting of four sub-scales (functional somatic-, anxiety-, depressive symptoms and conduct problems), was used at both occasions. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, two-way ANOVA and general linear model. Results Symptoms of anxiety and depression and functional somatic symptoms, increased among both boys and girls from 1981 until 2014 (P < 0.001 for all subscales), and the increase of these symptoms was higher in girls. Conduct problems were significantly higher in boys in 1981 and decreased over time so that in 2014 there was no longer a significant difference between boys and girls regarding conduct problems (P = 0.286). Conclusion In this population-based study spanning over 30 years, both girls and boys showed increasing internalizing problems, while conduct problems decreased. To halt this trend, we need a deeper understanding of the impact of the major societal changes that have occurred during the last three decades.

Everyday stressors of teenage girls are considered. The purpose of the study: development and testing of the questionnaire of everyday stressors for adolescents; determination of the intensity of various spheres of life; revealing the ratio of stress tension and life satisfaction. Methods: the author’s questionnaire of everyday stressors for adolescents, the stress perception scale ShVS-10 (V.A.Ababkov et al.), the life satisfaction scale (E.Diener et al.). Factorization made it possible to single out 7 blocks of events related to the areas: “Loneliness, fears”; “Finance”; “School, study”; “Rejection”; “Communication with seniors”; “Case, planning”; “Competition, self-attitude”. The α-Cronbach fitness coefficient for the entire questionnaire was 0.956. Content and convergent validity were checked using comparative, correlation, factorial, regression analysis. Correlation analysis revealed direct links between the number of stressful events and the strength of experience with “Overstrain”, “Stress counteraction”, “Perceived stress” of the ShVS-10 methodology, which confirmed the convergent validity of the questionnaire. Typological analysis showed a higher level of stress load in girls with low life satisfaction. Correlation analysis revealed negative relationships between life satisfaction and the number of stressors (p≤0.05), the intensity of the experience (p≤0.01), and the indicators of the SHVS-10 method (p≤0.01). Regression analysis showed that life satisfaction is a predictor that reduces the level of perceived stress (p≤0.000), overexertion (p≤0.000), resistance to stress (p≤0.000), the number of stressors in the areas “Loneliness, fears” (p≤0.000); “Finance” (p≤0.006); “School, study” (p≤0.026); “Rejection” (p≤0.003), “Communication with elders” (p≤0.001). Thus, a high level of life satisfaction can act as a factor contributing to the reduction of stress load.

Objective: We determined the morphological indicators of 12-year-old schoolchildren in Lviv, established the differences between the anthropometric parameters of the children's population from other large cities of Ukraine, and assessed the trends in physical development changes over a long period. Materials and methods: According to the conventional methods of anthropometry, we examined 348 12-year-old schoolchildren (including 172 boys and 176 girls) studying at Lviv city general education institutions. Results: Gender peculiarities of morpho-functional development of 12-year-old schoolchildren in the large cities of Ukraine were revealed. They reflect the active endocrine remodeling of children, which is primarily inherent in the performance of girls. The values of individual anthropometric parameters, both among boys and girls, were determined to be significantly higher (p <0.05) than the National criteria (2013). At the same time, the height of Kyiv schoolgirls is smaller (p <0.05) against the national norms. During the analyzed period, pronounced accelerative processes were observed in the development of the 12-year-old children’s population in Kharkiv and Odessa, which indicates a certain dependence of the processes of growth and formation of the organism on the climatic and geographical conditions of habitat and the level of industrial development of the territory. The average statistical parameters of the basic indicators of physical development of Lviv schoolchildren are lower than the similar parameters of 12-year-old children in Poland. Conclusions: The obtained results of the study confirm our previous assumptions about the necessity to work out the regional standards for anthropometric indicators of middle age schoolchildren at the regional level and recommend to use them in the assessment of children's health by family doctors and pediatricians. In the future, it is planned to expand the list of major cities in Ukraine selected for our study, and increase the number of sample groups of 12-year-old schoolchildren, which will increase the level of statistical reliability of the results.

Reading is the most common learning difficulty experienced by elementary school students in the early or lower grades. Early-grade elementary school students have significant problems related to reading and language skills. It impacts the reading ability scores of Grade 2 elementary school students, which are still low, so new methods are needed to improve student's reading skills. This study aimed to analyze the role-playing method's use on the reading ability of Grade 2 elementary school students. This research is a type of experimental research. This study used a pre-experimental research method with a one-group pretest-posttest design (pretest test-posttest single group). The subjects in this study were all 2nd-grade elementary school students, totaling 32 students consisting of 13 girls and 19 boys. The methods used to collect data are observation and tests. The instrument used is a matter of difficulty. Data analysis techniques using inferential statistical analysis. The result of the study show that the role-playing method significantly improves the reading ability of grade 2 elementary students. Thus, giving the role-playing process can improve the reading ability of grade 2 elementary students.

Results This study looks at inception and development of medical departments in girls’ schools of the Russian Empire during the second half of the 18th and beginning of 19th century, the first of which was founded in 1764. Materials and methods. The problems of the article, based on a wide range of sources, both archival and published, studied using the principles of objectivity and historicism, still remain unexplored. Results. Empress Catherine II and her associates’ ideas, based on innovative principles in the physical education of children, which were being developed by European Enlightenment thinkers of the 18th century, had to be implemented in a practical way in both boys’ and girls’ state-established schools of the Russian Empire. With emphasis on preventive healthcare, the organization of necessary medical procedure in a boarding school with 200–300 pupils was an uncharted territory. Discussion. Gradual establishment of medical matters throughout the early period of history of girls’ schools progressed tracing general development in medical science and practice. The experience of scientific organization of medical assistance was systematically gained in privileged state-run schools: initial examination of new students, routine health checks, universal smallpox vaccinations, organization of strict quarantine in the instance of infectious disease outbreak, establishment of modern infirmaries with relevant equipment, development of diagnostics, medicine preparation in own pharmacies, referrals to various specialists.

Introduction. Morphofunctional (MF) status of school children of Nizhny Novgorod region is analysed in connection with the degree of urbanization and the level of anthropogenic pressure in contrastive ecological clusters with satisfactory (1), comparatively tense (2), tense (3) and critical ecological situation. Material and methods. Over 5 thousand of school children aged 7–17 years, examined in 2010–12, are under discussion. The program includes height, weight, BMI, chest girth, lung vital capacity (VC), systolic and diastolic blood pressure, somatotype according to Shtefko-Ostrovskiy method. Each cluster is characterized by absolute and standardized values of MF indices; significance of differences between means of parameters with continuous variability for separate ecological groups is estimated by using of analysis of variance and Scheffe-tests. Frequency of somatotypes (%) is calculated for each ecological group, Pearson's chi-square criterion is used. Comparative estimation of total somatic dimensions of rural and urban (literary data) children is held. Results. The accelerating influence of modern level of anthropogenic stress (clusters 2 and 3) on indices of transversal body development (weight, BMI, chest girth) and VC of prepubertal (9 years) children irrespective of sex is shown. Decelerating influence of critical stress level (cluster 4) on indices of transversal body development of pubertal children aged 13 years is revealed. No significant differences in frequency of somatotypes in contrastive ecological clusters are fixed. Some gracilization of urban prepubertal boys compared to rural boys is shown. Some macrosomization (height and weight) of urban girls aged 7–13 years combined with modest decrease of chest girth as compared to rural girls is fixed. Up to 16–17 years all described differences are obviously smoothed. Conclusion. The effect of anthropoecological correlations depends on the level of anthropogenic stress, sex and age of examined population and the system of MF indices. Height in our case is less sensitive to the increase of the level of anthropogenic stress. Ecosensitivity of girls is presumably less than boys.

Purpose: The present study analyses the possible impact on gender equality when using a language familiar to students in tests at primary schools in Sub-Saharan Africa where a European language is the unique medium of instruction and assessment.
Methodology: To this aim, students at grades 3 and 6 (83 girls and 66 boys) in primary schools in rural Senegal were given two different tests: Mathematics problem-solving tasks and multiple-choice questions of Social Sciences. They were divided at random into a control group if they received the tests in Seerer, the local language familiar to them, or French, the sole official language in the Senegalese education system. After data collection, results were codified for analysis considering two variables: Gender and grade. First, we calculated both the percentage of students who scored the set mark and those who obtained the highest scores. Second, we checked for statistically significant differences between groups by means of One-Way-ANOVA and Tukey tests.
Findings: Although Seerer as language of tests was found to benefit both genders, results suggest that its use may especially determine girls’ success at school: Girls in the experimental group obtained higher results than girls in the control group, especially the youngest, and many reached the highest scores.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: Findings suggest that first, the use of a language familiar to students in tests seems to have positive effects on their academic results, and second, that it may play a role in bridging the gap between genders in some education models thanks to the evident benefits for girls, especially young ones. Such results might be taken into consideration by education authorities together with other existing examples to introduce local languages in the education system of Senegal and other Sub-Saharan countries where only a European language is employed, as it seems to contribute to reaching gender equality in education. We suggest that local languages could be used in tests from the lower levels of primary education in bilingual programs, thus favouring transfer of linguistic skills and content from the local to the European language, and increasing school success

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of anemia and intestinal parasite infection in school-going adolescent girls. Study design: A cross-sectional study Place and Duration: This study was conducted at Hamdard University of Medicine and Dentistry Karachi from march 2021 to march 2022. Methodology: There were eight schools in the research area, and three were chosen at random. Each school used universal sampling, and 250 voluntarily participating girls were included in the study. A sample of the morning's stool was taken for microscopic analysis, and hemoglobin levels were calculated. Relevant data were gathered using a structured questionnaire that had been evaluated beforehand, and SPSS version 22 was used for data analysis. Results: The most often isolated organism is Entamoeba histolytica, which is followed by Giardia intestinalis (5.2%), hookworm (4.4%), and Ascaris Lumbricoides (3.2%). A total of 36% of patients had intestinal parasite infection, according to the research. Mild, moderate, and severe anemia were found to be present in them at rates of 12.8%, 46.8%, and 25.2%, respectively, with a prevalence of anemia of 84.8%. Anemia, insufficient hand washing techniques, and intestinal parasite infection were all found to be statistically significantly correlated. Practical implication: We can minimize the likelihood of acquiring iron deficiency anaemia, which would increase the morbidity of school-going girls and increase their vulnerability to malnutrition and poor academic performance, by detecting worm infestation early on through routine screening tests. Conclusion: According to the study, female school-going children had a significant prevalence of anemia and intestinal parasite infection. Preventive interventions, such as regular deworming and health education about eating a diet that is nutritionally balanced, taking iron supplements, and practicing good personal hygiene, are required for parents and their children in order to avoid and minimize the burden of disease. Keywords: Anemia, Worms infestations, school-going girls, iron supplements

It is also a time when individuals experience increasing control over their food choices and develop dietary habits that affect their weight status and extend into adulthood. Objective: To assess the Nutritional status and food habit among school going adolescent of Bangladesh. Methods: A community based cross-sectional observational study was conducted in Savar Zilla School & Morning Glory School and College, Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh from January to December 2022. A total of 100 students belonging to 8th, 9th and 10th classes participated. Information were collected regarding socio- demographic features and main eating habits from 10-19 years girls who were willing to participate and had no history of chronic illnesses like heart diseases, asthma, physically handicapped etc. Height and weight measurements were done by standard techniques and BMI was calculated using WHO Anthroplus software. BMI & Height for age were taken as a key indicator to assess their nutritional status. Data was analyzed by proportions, mean ± SD and χ2 test. Results: Mean age was 13.33 ± 1.09 years. Prevalence of thinness, overweight or obesity and stunting were 16%, 11.0% and 21.0% respectively. Significant association was found between different age groups, consumption of roots & tubers, cereals, puffed rice, green non-leafy vegetables, fatty foods, eating at fast food centre, skipping of meals, going hungry, physical activity, number of classes on healthy eating, trying to change their weight with the nutritional status of adolescent girls. Conclusion: There is a need to increase more nutritional counselling on healthy eating habits in school and thus to take appropriate interventions to improve the nutritional status of adolescent.

Introduction. The impact of smartphone use on personal well-being and effectiveness of educational activities is a discussion issue involving teachers and school students, which determines the relevance of studying their metacognitions about smartphone use (MSU). MSU is a refl ection of the subject’s own beliefs associated with smartphone use. The study was aimed at analyzing the differences in MSU of high school students with various academic performance. Materials and methods. The study involved school students ( female) of th-th grades aged . ± .. Empirical data was collected with a modifi ed self-report scale “Metacognitions about problematic smartphone use” (Kronbach alpha .-.): “Recreational and relaxation function of the smartphone” (% of variance), “Smartphone addiction” (%), “Smartphone as a hindrance to study” (%). Regardless of academic performance, the structure of MSU is dominated by positive metacognitions (smartphone as a tool for relaxation and distraction from problems). The students with below-average academic performance more often note that smartphone prevents them from learning (F=. p<.), while the indicators in the sample of boys are higher than among girls (F=. p<.). In addition, the girls with below-average academic performance are signifi cantly more likely to note signs of smartphone addiction than boys (F=. p<.). Conclusion. High school students are characterized by the awareness of the predominantly positive effects of smartphone use. At the same time, high school students with below-average academic performance refl ect the negative impact of smartphones on effectiveness of educational activities, however, girls refl ect the excessive use of smartphone as a key factor of this infl uence. The results should be used to develop smartphone addiction preventive programs. Funding. The research was supported by an internal grant of the Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia.

The role of parents is very important as an effort to provide information to their children, especially young women about the fulfillment of education, especially as women. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of parenting information to prepare young women for prepubertal menarche. The research method used is a mixed methods model, with a concurrent model design that combines qualitative and quantitative data. This research involved 66 research subjects who were selected purposively from 360 female students at State Junior High School 8 Pagaralam. The research instrument used was the menarche scale and interview guidelines. The collected data were analyzed using multiple regression. The results of the menarche scale analysis and interviews before providing information services about menarche, the percentage of children who are not ready to face menarche is 81% thus there are still children who are afraid, embarrassed, and even anxious about facing menarche. After providing parenting information to parents as an effort to prepare children to experience menarche, prepubertal young women experienced a decrease in the number of children to 18%. Thus parenting information plays a very important role in increasing the knowledge of parents and children about menarche.

Numerous publications have noted a general pattern: then higher are the parents’ educational and professional level, and then larger and heavier are their children, which is associated with a higher family income. The purpose of this work is to consider the variability of body composition indicators in schoolchildren 7–17 years old from the Saratov region depending the characteristics of the family’s socio-economic status proposed by us, and to evaluate the impact of the level of material prosperity on the main indicators of the physical development of children and adolescents. Materials and methods. The materials of the comprehensive survey in 2002–2004 children and adolescents 7–17 years old from the cities of the Saratov region, with a total number of 4266 people are used. The average normalized values of total sizes and 17 body composition indicators calculated by different methods were compared in each of 42 groups of boys or girls formed according to 3 gradations by one of 7 socio-economic factors.

There are significant (95%) differences in levels of total body size in children of both sexes, corresponding to the literature data: the higher the indicators of family income, the greater the values of morphological signs, magnitude of differences up to 0.7δ. Boys from large families have the smallest body sizes and very weak development of the fat component. With an increase in the educational and professional levels of mothers, sons have higher total fat-free mass, total water and percentage of fat mass, magnitude of differences 0.4δ–0.7δ. In girls, with an increase in the material income, educational and professional levels of mothers, almost all indicators are growing, except for body density, percentage of fat-free mass and percentage of water, magnitude of differences 0.4δ–0.7δ. Daughters of fathers with secondary professional level have the highest rates of development of the fat-free component (magnitude of differences 0.6δ) and average body size. Conclusions. There is sexual dimorphism in the variability of body composition indicators in school-aged children from families of various socio-economic status. In boys, the relationship between absolute indicators of body composition (reflecting body sizes) and factors of financial income of the family according to the traditional scheme is expressed. In girls – between relative indicators (reflecting the development of fat deposition) and the professional level of parents. In children of parents with high occupational levels, the ratio of fat to muscle component may indicate latent obesity. The method of calculating the body composition does not significantly affect the results of the analysis.

ABSTRACT
In writing this paper, secondary review methodology has been used to explore the link between COVID-19 pandemic and increased teenage pregnancy in Uganda. Data from journal articles, text books, media outlets, government documents and Non-Governmental Organizations reports have been used in coming up with this paper. The paper begins with the general discussion of teenage pregnancy with emphasis on its negative implications on teenage girls and the reasons young girls get pregnant. This is followed by the discussion about teenage pregnancy in Uganda. This part has shown that before the advent of COVID-19 pandemic, Uganda was considered one of the countries with the highest rates of teenage pregnancy in Sub Saharan Africa. Then is a discussion on how past disasters like Ebola were also associated with an increase in teenage pregnancy. This connects to the discussion on how COVID-19 pandemic is similar to earlier disasters in causing an increase in teenage pregnancy. The increase in teenage pregnancy is attributed to preventive measures such as school closures and movement restrictions that have made girls more vulnerable to sexual advances from the perpetrators. This part is followed by the discussion on how teenage pregnancy has been amplified by COVID-19 pandemic in Uganda, Finally, the paper has recommended a multi-sectoral approach to addressing teenage pregnancy and the need for incorporating teenage pregnancy in the future plans aimed at addressing pandemics and epidemics.

AbstractProgressive Era school officials transformed public education in American cities by teaching male students trades like foundry, carpentry, and mechanics in classrooms outfitted like factories. Historians have demonstrated how this “vocational education movement” was championed by male administrators and business leaders anxious to train the next generation of expert tradesmen. But women also hoped vocational education could prepare female students for industrial careers. In the early twentieth century, members of the National Women’s Trade Union League demanded that public schools open trade programs to female students and teach future working women the history of capitalism and the philosophy of collective bargaining. Their ambitious goals were tempered by some middle-class reformers and club women who argued vocational programs should also prepare female students for homemaking and motherhood. This article uses Chicago as a case study to explore how Progressive Era women competed and collaborated to reform vocational education for girls, and how female students responded to new school programs designed to prepare them for work both in and outside the home.

Objectives: The aim of this research was to estimate the validity of measured and self-reported height, weight and body-mass index (BMI) in Croatian adolescents. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, participants were 286 urban secondary-school students (53% of girls) from the city of Zagreb, Croatia. To assess self-reported height, weight and sociodemographic characteristics of the participants, an in-person interview was carried out. Results: Both boys and girls underestimated weight and height. Cohen’s D effect showed that these differences were trivial. Pearson’s coefficient of correlation between self-reported and measured values ranged from 0.95 to 0.97 in both boys and girls. The prevalence of underweight was overestimated, when using personal assessment of BMI, while overweight status was underestimated by both gender. Kappa statistics showed good (0.64 in girls) and excellent (0.89 in boys) agreement between the self-reported and measured BMI. Conclusions: Our findings suggest, that there is the inaccuracy between measured and personal assessment of height and weight to determine the prevalence of overweight/obesity, especially in girls. However, self-reported height, weight and calculated BMI may be used as a valid assessment for large epidemiological studies, but not for intervention purposes.

Abstract: Industrial schools were the dominant mechanisms for the social rehabilitation of wayward juveniles in North America from the late nineteenth to mid-twentieth century. The research concerning such schools in shaping young lives is scattered within the historiography of youth. Girls were taught domestic skills and boys were trained in trades such as agriculture. Forced labor was not punishment but seen as moral uplift for troubled youth. This article studies the British Columbia Boy's Industrial School from 1919 to 1934 under David Blackwood Brankin, whose "honor system" combined discipline, strict work routines, regimented leisure, and a minimum of compulsory schooling. Brankin's court missionary work in Great Britain and military career shaped his vision of juvenile social rehabilitation until his retirement in 1934. His replacement was an educator trained in psychology and mental hygiene methods of youth reclamation.

Aim: The present study is conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of mindfulness-based parenthood intervention for mothers and self-compassion intervention for girls on resilience of teenage girls that have parent-child conflict. Method: The research method was quasi-experimental with a pre-test post-test design. It also had control group and follow-up. The statistical population of the study consisted of 14 and 15 years old teenage girls who were studying in public schools in district 14 of Tehran, in the school year 2021-22 and their mothers. The sample of the study was 34 students who were selected by purposive sampling method and randomly divided into three groups. The first group were 10 of the student's mothers who received mindfulness-based parenthood intervention (Bogels & Restifo, 2014) and the second group consisted of 12 students who received self-compassion intervention (Gilbert, 2010). Besides, the control group consisted of 12 students who didn’t receive any intervention. Data:were collected with resilience scale (Conner & Davidson, 2003). Results: The outcomes of the analysis of mixvariance demonstrated that mindfulness-based parenthood intervention for mothers and self-compassion intervention for girls were significantly effective on resilience, compared to the control group (F=19/63, P=0/001). and there were no significant differences between the effectiveness of the two methods and the effects of intervention over time remained constant (p≤0.001). Conclusion: Therefore, these interventions can be used in school counseling environments so as to increase resilience, improve relationships, for adolescents who have conflict with their parents.

Full textAbstract:
This research will be qualitative with a hermeneutic approach with narrative methodology. The new social studies on childhood imply a social, cultural and historical reconfi guration, which goes through language, new scenarios and new ways of looking at the world. Much has been said regarding the conceptions of childhood, the relationship with school, learning and education, given from the voices of teachers, professionals and adults, who have been in charge of giving meaning to constructing from the discourse, and to make visible what years ago did not even have a name. Therefore, it is pertinent in this work to talk about institutionalized childhoods, that is, the childhood under the protection of the State, from the very voice of the boys and girls, starting from that there are other childhoods that do not have the daily life of being in a traditional family. The objective is to understand the metaphors about the conceptions that boys and girls construct, regarding their own experience as infants. The respondents are studied in a protective boarding school at the Colombian Institute of Family Welfare (ICBF), in order to make visible other childhood voices and other scenarios different from traditional ones. The discourse metaphors of boys and girls studying in a protectionist boarding school will be examined in detail, taking into account that most discourses and concepts are partially understood with others, and that here they acquire relevance in conditions of a destructive and destructive nature. Differentiated character, manifested in other ways called symbolic, takes into account the complexity of childhood experience through the use of metaphor. Thus, an approach to an abstract and reconfi gured language of the new has been developed.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this survey was to determine the health-risk behaviors among high school students in the Dominican Republic. Samples were taken from communities with an industrial base and an increasing population (n = 1175). The communities under study had dissimilar population sizes (i.e., 5,000, 30,000, 50,000) and were located in various geographical locations. Frequency data are compared by gender and population differences for high-risk health behavior indicators associated with urban migration. We found significant differences in tobacco, alcohol, and crack use among the different population sites, with higher rates reported by the more populous communities. Boys reported more fighting and sexual activity. Girls reported higher rates of suicide ideation and attempts. These results can be used to 1) help focus on those behaviors rooted during the school years that most influence health, 2) monitor those behaviors by establishing baseline data, and 3) supply data that are comparable with recognized categories of high-risk behaviors.

Introduction. Faulty posture is define as the syndrome of bad posture that we characterize as minimal, individual anomalies upon proper poise which are potentially curable with professional passive and active exercises. An im-portant function at develop posture anomalies has factors which induce to take improper silhouette. To the above factors mainly belong: bad posture while relaxation, wrong place to study or hefting overloaded packs. Aim. Depiction of common problem among children at school age which is exposure of faulty posture and specification of factors which produce faulty posture. Material and methods. In the thesis was used method of evaluation and diag-nostic survey method. With the object of execution the questionnaire surveys applied an anonymous and authorial questionnaire at the same time. A hundred of children at 11-14 age entered the survey. Based on data, computed BMI rate and the anthropometric parameters were evaluated according to centile grid. Results. A hundred of children entered the research (49% boys, 51% girls). 24% of children had diagnose of faulty posture namely 16 girls and 8 boys. Fallen arches was detected at 11 children, it is about 46% of people with bad posture, whereas none of children had knees valgus (0%). 38% of children who are active less than hour per day were diagnosed with faulty posture, whereas group of people with 1-2 hours daily physical activity had only 16,1% of chil-dren with faulty posture. On the other hand with students who spare over two hours on activity daily were not any fault. 87,5% of respondents with wrong BMI rate level suffer from bad posture. Children (66%), who do not respect right rules of carrying pack have diagnosed faulty posture. Conclusion. Every fourth child at research group has bad posture. The com-mon type of faulty posture is fallen arches, but the rarest is knee valgus. Low level of physical activity and wrong way of carrying pack significantly contrib-ute to develop faulty posture among school age children. Furthermore inade-quate result of BMI also has negative impact on body posture of child.
