Budd, Elizabeth L., Raoul S. Liévanos e Brigette Amidon. "Open Campus Policies: How Built, Food, Social, and Organizational Environments Matter for Oregon’s Public High School Students’ Health". International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 17, n.º 2 (10 de janeiro de 2020): 469. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/ijerph17020469.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Open campus policies that grant access to the off-campus food environment may influence U.S. high school students’ exposure to unhealthy foods, yet predictors of these policies are unknown. Policy holding and built (walkability), food (access to grocery stores), social (school-to-neighborhood demographic similarity), and organizational (policy holding of neighboring schools) environment data were collected for 200 Oregon public high schools. These existing data were derived from the Oregon School Board Association, WalkScore.com, the 2010 Decennial Census, the 2010–2014 American Community Survey, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, TDLinex, Nielson directories, the U.S. Department of Education, the National Center for Education Statistics, and the Common Core of Data. Most (67%) of Oregon public high schools have open campus policies. Logistic regression analyses modeled open campus policy holding as a function of built, food, social, and organizational environment influences. With health and policy implications, the results indicate that the schools’ walkability, food access, and extent of neighboring open campus policy-schools are significantly associated with open campus policy holding in Oregon.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This study is an examination of string access in American public schools; the researcher sought to determine the actual number of school districts in each state that offered string instruction and at which grade levels. Specific questions posed were (a) What is the current relationship between access to string instruction and school-district location, size, and socioeconomic level? (b) How does access vary by school type—elementary, middle, high school? (c) How does access vary in different regions of the country? Data were obtained for each of the 14,183 school districts listed in the 1994-1995 Market Data Retrieval School Directories. A total of 2,268 districts (15.99%) were identified that offered string instruction. Of these, it was found that 71.42% (N = 1,620) offered string instruction at the elementary school level, 78.52% (N = 1,781) at the middle school level, and 80.15%) (N = 1,818) at the high school level. The findings also indicated that string instruction was offered most often in average-socioeconomic-level, medium-sized, urban districts in the Eastern, North Central, and Northwest Music Educators National Conference divisions, and in average-socioeconomic-level, large, metropolitan districts in the Southern, Southwestern, and Western divisions. String instruction was offered least often in low-socioeconomic-level school districts (N = 100) regardless of location or size.

Youssouf, Youssouf Ballah. "The Future of Physical Education and Sports in Light of the Crisis of Playgrounds in Schools in the Republic of Djibouti". Journal of Advances in Sports and Physical Education 6, n.º 06 (6 de julho de 2023): 96–101. http://dx.doi.org/10.36348/jaspe.2023.v06i06.001.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The teaching of Physical Education and Sports (PES) is increasingly compromised in Djibouti, as most of the new middle and secondary schools built in the past two decades do not have playgrounds. This situation has meant that some students have never had access to physical and sports activities as part of their school curriculum. They consequently suffer the detrimental consequences of this situation, particularly on health, well-being, and overall development. To carry out this research, we have analyzed several data sources, such as internal reports and statistical directories of the national education system. We have also studied legislative documents, articles, reports, and chapters on the evolution of school education in Djibouti, as well as ethnographic surveys. Through descriptive analyses, the purpose of this article is to highlight the disparities that exist among different schools in terms of playground equipment and, by extension, access to physical and sports activities. Ultimately, this article emphasizes the urgent need to address the crisis of playgrounds in schools to ensure a better future for PES and enable students to benefit from the physical, social, and educational advantages associated with engaging in physical and sports activities.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The purpose of this study was to determine how women music teachers became the United States’ first female military band directors. Interviews with seventy-nine World War II military bandswomen revealed that seven of the ten chosen female directors were music teachers prior to their enlistment in the Army, Coast Guard, or Marines—band and orchestra teachers, music supervisors, and a college professor. Six of those seven directors are included in this study. Research questions pertained to their childhood music education, formal schooling, music-teacher employment, why they quit teaching to enlist, military education, military leadership and performance experiences, how they continued music making after the war, and the meaning of this experience for their lives. Corroboration of interview responses with primary and secondary sources—census data, school records, city directories, social security index, newspaper articles, photographs, diaries, military documents, military and WWII books—revealed that these music educators had accurate memories, outstanding music education and performance backgrounds, substantial leadership experiences, and diverse musical backgrounds that made them good choices for leading military bands and ensembles. All were part of significant firsts for women in the military. Near the end of their lives, they believed that their service as a military band director and musician had substantial impact on their lives and in some cases valued as “the most important” experience of their lives.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Abstract While many have documented the changing demographics of universities, understanding the effects of prohibiting mandatory retirement (“uncapping”) has proved challenging. We digitize detailed directories of all American law school faculty from 1971–2017 and show that uncapping in 1994 had dramatic effects. From 1971 to 1993, the percent of faculty above 70—when mandatory retirement would typically have been triggered—remained stable at 1%, but starting in 1994, that proportion increased to 14%. We use a permutation test of moving cohorts to show that these increases are attributable to uncapping. Roughly 39% of faculty members would counterfactually have been subject to mandatory retirement. Effects were less pronounced at public schools, which were more likely to have defined benefits retirement plans. Second, we show that schools with the highest proportion of faculty over 70, and thus most impacted by uncapping, also exhibit the slowest integration of female and minority faculty members. Our study highlights crosscutting effects of civil rights laws: preventing age discrimination can have collateral effects on racial and gender integration.

International Journal of Membrane Science and Technology 10, n.º 4 (26 de setembro de 2023): 494–503. http://dx.doi.org/10.15379/ijmst.v10i4.2073.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This developmental study aimed to evaluate the disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) capabilities, preparedness, and emergency response competence of Filipino school principals in Guimaras Island, while also developing a relevant contingency management planning toolkit tailored to the needs of the region. The study involved 92 deliberately selected participants, including public elementary and secondary school principals, as well as private school administrators. Data was collected using a researcher-made questionnaire consisting of three sections: DRRM Assessment Capability, Preparedness, and Emergency Response Competence. Descriptive statistics, including frequency counts, percentage analysis, mean, standard deviation, and rank, were used for data analysis. The results indicated that both public and private school principals in Guimaras demonstrated a high capability for risk assessment, substantial preparedness, and a significant level of competence in emergency response. Notably, their assessment capability was strongest in areas such as monitoring and evaluating DRRM programs and understanding Site Development Plans, while their least predominant skills were related to maintaining and strengthening lifeline systems and estimating equipment lifespans. In terms of DRRM preparedness, strengths included utilizing DepEd Orders for class suspensions during inclement weather and providing emergency contact directories. Weaknesses were identified in areas like capacitating student-led watch teams and preparing localized school policies for disaster preparedness. Regarding emergency response, school principals were found to be highly competent in managing personnel and coordinating with the Local DRRM Team. They were also proficient in providing necessities to teachers and students and reporting damages using the RADaR App. To address the identified gaps, a contextualized toolkit was proposed, tailored to the specific needs of Guimaras schools. This toolkit received excellent ratings from experts in terms of its attributes, objectives, content, usefulness, and self-help features.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
A 36-item survey was used to determine whether special educators have access to the services of an audiologist and whether they obtained benefit from the audiologist’s services. Additional goals included gathering information about special educators’ understanding of basic audiological concepts related to a school setting, added job responsibilities brought about by lack of access to an audiologist, and collaboration between these teachers and audiologists. The survey was emailed to special educators identified through online school district directories. A total of 39% of the surveyed special educators had access to an educational/contractual audiologist, with 71% of them believing they received benefit from these services. These benefits included provision of hearing screenings, in-services, and aural (re)habilitation. In all, 73% of the special educators judged their own background understanding of basic audiological information within the “low” range, and most of the special education teachers surveyed did not feel prepared to assist students with hearing aids, FM systems, or cochlear implants. Less than half of the special educators (47%) reported that collaboration between these professionals was strong where available. Special educators consider themselves unprepared to handle the audiological maintenance needs of their students’ equipment and are often unaware of the audiologist’s role, including their availability in schools.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Considerations around teacher attrition, supply and demand, and retention are incomplete without including teacher mobility. The problem, as it currently stands, finds SBAE ill-equipped, at the professional level, to support mobile teachers. Providing support, however, starts with understanding the population; in this case, mobile teachers. The purpose of our study was to quantitatively describe teacher mobility in [State] over the last 20 years (1999-2021). To describe SBAE teacher mobility in our state, we utilized teacher retention data compiled from state teacher directories over the last 20 years (1999-2021). We corroborated previous findings noting heightened attrition after year one in a new school, and school retention of mobile teachers to average about three years. These findings bear implications for our pre-service preparation, induction level support, and mid-career advice and support relative to the suggested reduction of frequency in mobility with additional teaching experience.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
With the introduction of Information Technology in educational process we need more often to use electronic evaluation. The examples of test variants in the secondary school are often prepared with the help of word processing editors as WordPad that has good opportunities for elementary text formatting. Another part of the teachers often use Microsoft Word when preparing their tests. It is true that Microsoft Word has much more editing and formatting instruments than WordPad. For access to electronic educational resources suggested by the school teachers two or more computer networks are built (teachers' and learners'). Using these networks and their access rights, each user, learner or teacher, has the opportunity to add files and directories into the school database (DB). Learners can add files with the exercises they have done during their classes. Teachers suggest through the database the electronic lessons they have developed. At the end of each unit each teacher prepares an electronic test. In it there are described the evaluation criteria depending on the number of points the student has gathered through correct responses. In most cases we notice that in the teachers' network files with the responses of the tests are added later on. Not always the means for defence offered by the system administrators at the school can guarantee the safety of our files and more exactly the manipulation of the answers of the electronic forms of check up. Aiming at more effective defence of the text files, this article views an algorithm created by us for cryptographic defence of text files and it's application in secondary school. The effective use of cryptographic information defence minimises the opportunity to decipher the coded information aiming at its misuse by the learners. Providing safe defence against unsanctioned access in computer communication is a complex and extensive task which is solved by means of a set of measures of organisation and programme-technical character. The defence of the process of submitting data requires utmost attention because it concerns the most vulnerable and accessible for violation points in the communication systems.

This article focuses on special collections in the United States which provide historical curriculum resources and other specialized materials for education research. An overview of the Special Collections at Monroe C. Gutman Library, Harvard University, Graduate School of Education provides background on their growth and development, descriptions of major collections, information about the preservation microfilming projects, and a discussion of the research use of the collections. Other sources of information about special collections are presented, including the author's annotated bibliographies of directories for locating special collections and selected World Wide Web sites. Various collections are featured in the descriptive entries for the print and online sources. The author concludes that promoting our institutions' special collections through various print and online sources, as well as formal and informal communication with colleagues and scholars, advances the work of researchers in the field, although there are challenges in addressing the associated issues of access, staffing, services, and preservation. It is suggested that Web sites have the greatest potential for enhancing the research process by disseminating in-depth information about special collections.

Currently, we have entered the industrial era 4.0 where technology and information are developing very quickly so that a lot of data can be obtained easily by the public, but the credibility of this information cannot be accounted for because the source of information is unclear. It is known, with these problems and supported by sophisticated technology, a new search medium has emerged which is called an online directory. The contents of online directories include important information such as names of organizations, institutions, or individuals, addresses, telephone numbers, as well as credible sources. Many people, especially high school graduates, and the equivalent want to continue their education in tertiary institutions, one of which is an Islamic university. Thus the online directory of Islamic universities in Java made by this author can be used as a reference for people who wish to continue their education at Islamic universities in Java but users also need to find further information through the website link that is already listed in the directory because the information is in the directory is not 100% complete.

Objectives. To determine changes to income and livelihood, food consumption, and hunger due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in three Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Caribbean: Jamaica, St Kitts and Nevis, and St Vincent and the Grenadines. Methods. This was a cross-sectional study conducted in July 2020. Participants were selected using telephone directories and lists of mobile numbers. Data were collected through face-to-face and telephone interviews. Participants rated the impact of COVID-19 on their livelihoods and the Adult Food Security Module was used to assess hunger. To examine how these outcomes varied by sociodemographic group, multivariable logistic regression analysis was used, with odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) reported. Results. The analysis included 880 participants. Of these, 40% (344/871) reported some form of hunger, with 18% (153/871) classed as moderate-to-severe hunger. Almost three quarters of households reported some impact on their livelihood (640/880), with 28% (243/880) classifying this impact as moderate to severe. Women were 60% more likely to report that their livelihoods were moderately to severely affected by COVID-19 (OR 1.59; 95% CI 1.09, 2.31) and 70% more likely to experience moderate-to-severe hunger (OR 1.70; 95% CI 1.37, 2.09). The effects of COVID-19 on livelihood and hunger were greater in those with secondary-school and primary-school education compared with tertiary education. Conclusion. The COVID-19 pandemic is disproportionately affecting the most vulnerable segments of the population. Social protection programmes are a key component of efforts to alleviate the pandemic’s consequences; however, equitable access must be ensured.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This study was designed to examine the use and perception of selected teaching behaviors of high school band directors. Videotaped rehearsals of six band directors’ top-performing ensembles were analyzed for conductor magnitude, sequential pattern components, and instructional pacing. Directors and students rated video excerpts of their rehearsals, completed a questionnaire, and participated in interviews. Teaching behaviors were generally consistent with previous research. Student evaluations of excerpts containing drill, all strict conducting, and more teacher talk were rated lowest. Highest rated excerpts contained more or relatively equal amounts of student response and teacher talk, some expressive conducting, and varying facial expressions. Directors rated excerpts containing little variety in facial expression and more or equal amounts of teacher talk highest. Lowest rated excerpts contained drill or structured rehearsal; all or mostly strict, or no conducting; and longer student activity times. Students were able to identify and discuss their director’s teaching behaviors, had a respect for their director’s musical abilities and knowledge regardless of rapport, desired more praise, and thought of disapproving feedback as necessary critique. Directors were most critical of their conducting behaviors, spent time reflecting on their teaching, and believed self-assessment was beneficial to improve one’s teaching.

The article is devoted to the study of sources on pedagogical, organizational and social activities of a native of Vologda province, a graduate of Olonets provincial men’s gymnasium in 1853, a prominent employee of the educational system of the second half of the XIX century, Erast Egorovich Timofeev, coming from the lower middle class. Studying the lives and activities of individuals who made a significant contribution to the development of the educational system at one of the historical stages of Russia’s development is relevant in connection with the fact that the year 2023 was announced by the President of the Russian Federation as the year of a teacher and a mentor. In addition, studying the biography of this personality will give the opportunity to more fully explore the role of an outstanding teacher – Fyodor Nikolaevich Fortunatov – as a mentor. The purpose of the study is to study historical sources containing materials on the stages of E.E. Timofeyev’s biography, and his role in the development of the educational system in Vologda Province in the 19th century. Materials and methods. A special feature of this topic is the chronological coverage of Russia’s history in the XIX century. As a consequence, the source base is archival materials, commemorative books and official directories. Methodological basis: the principle of historicism, the principle of objectivity, the principle of consistency. Research methods: the method of analysis and synthesis, historical-genetic and biographical methods. The scientific novelty is manifested in the introduction into scientific circulation of new materials about the activities of E.E. Timofeev from the archives, as well as in considering the role of this personality in the development of Vologda educational system in the XIX century. Research results. The author analyzes the archival source “An Additional Service Record about the Service of the Teacher of Olonets County School, Belonging to the 12th class, Erast Timofeev. July 1854″, which is biographical information about the person under study. The official directories of Vologda province for 1881, 1882, 1883, 1887 were studied, which made it possible to trace the dynamics of E.E. Timofeev’s career advancement. The study covered commemorative books of Vologda province for 1875–1876, 1879, 1893–1894, 1896–1897, which supplemented the information on the career advancement of our hero. Conclusions. Erast Egorovich Timofeev came from the lower middle class, he was a student of Fyodor Nikolaevich Fortunatov, and achieved a high status in the society and made the educational system of his native land more accessible. Thanks to his active participation in the work of various public committees of Vologda province, the development of the western and eastern counties of the region was leveled.

Purpose: This study aimed at investigating the factors influencing students’ attitudes towards learning English as a foreign language in tertiary institutions in Zanzibar.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Findings: The results revealed that there exist conceptual and contextual gaps relating to the study on the factors influencing students’ attitudes towards learning English as a foreign language in tertiary institutions in Zanzibar, Tanzania. Preliminary empirical review reveals that these attitudinal factors are divided into two main domains, that is, internal and external factors. Internal factors included students’ interest, self-confidence, lexicon knowledge, anxiety, risk-taking willingness, curiosity, and awareness of the English role.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Affective Filter hypothesis, Cognitive theory and the Social learning theory may be used to anchor future studies in the acquisition of second foreign language in tertiary institutions. The study will be beneficial to Foreign Language teachers in these tertiary institutions, the school administration and policymakers in establishing strategies that will create a conducive environment for learners to be able to adjust and easily comprehend the foreign language being delivered.

Findings: The findings revealed that there exists a contextual and a methodological gap relating to investigating foreign language learning anxiety among French students in Ghana. Preliminary empirical review reveals that that French-speaking students at Ghanaian educational institutions suffer from moderate anxiety. Because the French language system is distinct from their own and the English language system, this may be a source of anxiety. Pre-university exposure to the French language, particularly in elementary and secondary school, may assist to reduce anxiety to a moderate degree.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Horwitz, Horwitz and Cope’s Theory. The Cognitive theory and the Krashen’s Affective Filter Theory may be used to anchor future studies relating to foreign language learning anxiety. The study will be beneficial to EFL teachers and other relevant stakeholders in establishing policies and strategies to create a conducive environment to allow foreign language learners have an easy time in acquisition of a foreign language.

In the article, the author reveals fragments of the study about repressions of the 1920s and 1930s against the churches, as an institution of society, against the clergy, church services, active parishioners of one of the settlements in Sumy Region(Dubovichi village). Self-identification and peaceful living under the laws of honor in the socialist regime led to the destruction of employed citizens and clergy who lived by vocation and by traditional moral principles. After all, it was they - conscious citizens, intellectuals, who "threaten" the terrorist plot of the Bolshevik authorities on the territory of Ukraine. Special attention was to the citizens who supported Tikhonovsk and Ukrainian autocephalous Orthodox churches. The parishioners of these churches were in principle affirmative. "Tikhonovtsi" decided religious uncompromising, "autocephalous" were nationalistic. Those and others did not perceive the Bolsheviks. Both opposed the political regime. Everyone who was in contact or was attached to these groups was prosecuted and arrested with special severity. Under the repressions were relatives and neighbors. Blackmail of single persons and family, voluminous and falsification documents, taking hostages. That was happening with all who was not controlled during the formation of the Soviet power. Over the 50 people from Dubovichi village and their families fell under the pressure of repressions. Most of them were sentenced to death. Just few of them returned from exile and settled in distant places from their native village. Dubovichi village has a centuries-long history. Best known it is in the religious environment through the icon of Dubovytsi's Mother of God. The miraculous image of the Virgin was discovered in the middle of the 17th century. And the glory about it spread far beyond the then Russian empire. Church leaders from Kiev, from Chernigov gathered at the procession during the celebrations of 1861. The pilgrimage to the icon in Dubovich was round-the-year. Copies from the list of the Virgin Mary Dubovitskaya were in the St. Sophia Cathedral of Kyiv. Information about the icon was printed in church calendars and metropolitan directories of pilgrims. The grand stone church of the Nativity of the Virgin in 1777 in the center of the village, it was the pease of architectural art that was rare in the countryside. As evidenced by foreign sources, the parish church was kind of fortress. It was surrounded by a brick fence with four towers in corners. The entrance to the churchyard was through the gates that were under the bell. There were burials around the temple. Marble monuments were raised on the graves. Icons in the temple were in different kyots, precious stones. Church property included a number of priest clothing, silverware. In the village there were three temples. This provided the opportunity for the parish to have six priests, several clerks and psalms in the state. All were destroyed until 1940, despite the architectural value of the builders and the ancients. Dubovichi parish numbered more than three thousand people at the beginning of the twentieth century. It was glorified by the numerous, beautiful choir, active citizens. The church library was more than 2000 volumes. The priests performed not only the need. Archpriest Gusakovsky was the head of refuge. The village choir numbered more than 60 people. There was a spiritual orchestra, a theater group, a hut-reading room, a rural school and a parochial school, and a folk school in the village. Also there was paramedic station, veterinarian, pharmacy. The hospital unit numbered up to 10 beds. Tolerance and high moral consciousness were typical for the people of Dubovichi. Not only Orthodox lived in the village . Archival documents indicate that the daughter of the priest was offended with the Catholic. Jews lived in Dubovichi. The social group was represented. There were Gypsies among the participants of the school. Those were posterity of that who survived and took good place in life of theatre. Able to analyze falsifications of the campaign to destroy the Dubovichi parish, the destruction of church buildings- works of architectural art. Information from directories, archival documents and old people's buildings allows us to reconstruct conditionally events of those times. The author for the first time highlights this page of the Dubovichi life. As well as information from recently declassified documents from archives of higher authorities on the repressed residents of Dubovichi village. Human losses, disadvantaged families, tales of reletives about Soviet Union. All this make a mosaic of the historical stratum of our country. The coverage of this problem somehow outlines the massive crimes of Soviet politics in the 1920's and 1930's. It is a tribute to those who sacredly keep memories of the repressed.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The objective of this paper is to understand the link between the leadership of school principals and the monitoring of students by their parents. Indeed, the leadership of the principals should make it possible to bring the parents to take more interest in the follow-up of the pupils. A leadership test was thus administered to 6 directors (school principals) of private and public school groups from the Rive Droite Academy in Bamako; 480 students were quizzed about parental support and then an interview guide was sent to teachers, school principals and parents of students who are members of School Management Committees in the schools in the sample (CGS) to decide on the leadership of the directors and the follow-up of the pupils by their parents.
The results of the school principal’s leadership test show that 4 out of 6 directors have a good overall leadership score. The score for task orientation is the highest, followed by the score for democratic and participatory leadership; that for orientation towards pupils' parents is lower among all directors. In addition, 62.5% of students who benefit from parental support come from schools run by directors who have a good leadership score. The results of the interviews show that the directors of public schools find that the follow-up of pupils by their parents is not linked to their leadership but rather to the level of poverty of the parents, which poses the problem of school follow-up for their children. However, the directors of private schools specify that they themselves must find channels of communication with parents in order to sensitize them to follow their children. For teachers, directors of successful schools in Mali have a high level of democratic leadership. Four representatives of the parents of pupils think that the principals of schools do not make enough efforts to push the parents to be firm with their children. The other two representatives find that school principals are discouraged by the marked indiscipline of children due to the fact that parents do nothing to educate their children and encourage them to take their studies seriously.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Research on language attitudes towards Global Englishes in many contexts has focused on teachers and learners. However, limited research has paid attention to school directors even though they are in a vital position to make changes at the school. This study explored the school director’s lived experiences, attitudes toward Global Englishes, and how their attitudes impact hiring foreign national teachers. Utilizing a narrative inquiry design, three school directors from different school sizes, levels, and types were interviewed multiple times per person to ensure data saturation. The findings showed that all school directors demonstrated standard language and native speakerism ideologies formed earlier in their schooling experiences, especially in English classes. Regardless of positive or negative English learning experiences, they developed an entrenched belief that English should be taught by ‘native speakers.’ Yet, the decision to hire foreign national teachers was not simply influenced by their lived experiences and attitudes toward Global Englishes. Instead, it was affected by the school budget, the level of students, and parents’ expectations. Above all, one troubled concern materialized – hiring someone who looked ‘native.’ Implications were discussed moving forward when considering implementing the Global Englishes paradigm.

Findings: The findings revealed that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the use of WhatsApp in the learning process among graduate students in the University of Nairobi. Preliminary empirical review reveals that there is no doubt that digital technology is of significance in education today. WhatsApp mobile technology is extremely valuable in this regard, as it is widely and extensively employed in online university education. It also provides students with more options and possibilities in the context of online learning. Almost everything in the world has gone digital.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Social Constructivism theory and Activity theory may be used to anchor future studies on the use of WhatsApp in the learning process among graduate students in the University of Nairobi. There is need for a quantitative survey to establish the statistical significance effect of the use of WhatsApp as a method of learning for graduate school students. There is also need for a comparative study on the effectiveness of the use of WhatsApp in learning and traditional form of learning

Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library. Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to artistic expression and mental well-being. Preliminary empirical review revealed that engaging in creative activities offers therapeutic benefits such as emotional expression, self-discovery, and social connection. Through various forms of art, individuals were able to reduce stress, improve mood, and foster a sense of belonging within their communities. Moreover, artistic expression served as a catalyst for personal transformation and empowerment, enabling individuals to overcome challenges and find meaning in their experiences. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating arts-based interventions into mental health care to promote holistic well-being. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Art as Therapy theory, Flow theory and Socio-Emotional Selectivity theory may be used to anchor future studies. The studies exploring the relationship between artistic expression and mental well-being offered valuable recommendations that contributed to theoretical advancements, informed practical applications, and guided policy development. By elucidating the therapeutic mechanisms of artistic expression, practitioners integrated arts-based interventions into clinical practice, educators incorporated arts into school curricula, and policymakers advocated for increased funding and support for arts initiatives in healthcare and community settings. These efforts aimed to foster creativity, resilience, and social connection, ultimately enhancing mental well-being across diverse populations.

Context In its best-practices recommendation, the Inter-Association Task Force for Preventing Sudden Death in Secondary School Athletics Programs urged all high schools to have a certified athletic trainer (AT) on staff. Despite the recommendation, many high schools lack the medical services of an AT. Objective To examine the barriers that athletic directors (ADs) face in hiring ATs in public high schools and in providing medical coverage for their student-athletes. Design Qualitative study. Setting Semistructured telephone interviews. Patients or Other Participants Twenty full-time public high school ADs (17 men, 3 women) from various geographical regions of the United States (6 North, 4 South, 4 Midwest, 6 West) participated. Data saturation guided the total number of participants. Data Collection and Analysis We completed telephone interviews guided by a semistructured questionnaire with all participants. Interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Multiple-analyst triangulation and peer review were included as steps to establish data credibility. We analyzed the data using the principles of the general inductive approach. Results We identified 3 themes. Lack of power represented the inability of an AD to hire an AT, which was perceived to be a responsibility of the superintendent and school board. Budget concerns pertained to the funding allocated to specific resources within a school, which often did not include an AT. Nonbudget concerns represented rural locations without clinics or hospitals nearby; misconceptions about the role of an AT, which led to the belief that first-aid–trained coaches are appropriate medical providers; and community support from local clinics, hospitals, and volunteers. Conclusions Many ADs would prefer to employ ATs in their schools; however, they perceive that they are bound by the hiring and budgeting decisions of superintendents and school boards. Public school systems are experiencing the consequences of national budget cuts and often do not have the freedom to hire ATs when other school staff are being laid off.

Purpose:this study offers a rare insight into senior leadership in International Baccalaureate (IB) international schools. The IB international school profits from the perceived quality and consistency of the IB brand; international schools, however, suffer from an endemic culture of change and reinterpretation. The IB learner profile (IBLP) offers scope for consistency and an overarching ethos, and research finds that ‘buy-in’ to the IBLP and modelling of it in all aspects of school life are essential in achieving this. It emerges that buy-in to the IBLP in directors is split between the personal and the operational.Research method:This interpretive study explores IB directors in multiphase research over two years employing an aspect of critical phenomenology through the lens of the IBLP and Global Citizenship Education (GCE).Findings:Only one in six directors uses the IBLP in leadership. Generally, directors attribute the IBLP a junior status. Analysis through Bourdieu finds IB directors have higher loyalty to (loosely defined) GCE through their Christian values. A foregrounding of individual values over the secular IBLP places IB directors as primary catalysts for the change culture unravelling the consistency of the IB international school, confirming the value of the IBLP in leadership.

The purposes of this study were to determine the level of implementation of HIV prevention for students with mental retardation in rural schools in Indiana, identify barriers and supporting factors related to program implementation and identify staff development needs. Telephone interviews were conducted with 19 directors of rural special education cooperatives in Indiana. The school districts served by these 19 cooperatives represented 65.5% of the rural school districts in Indiana. The directors reported that instruction about methods of HIV transmission and skills for prevention of HIV varies among both school districts and schools within districts. Transmission of HIV and prevention skills were more likely to be taught to students with mild mental retardation than those with moderate or severe mental retardation. Five specific barriers to instruction were identified along with staff development and resource needs for special educators. Factors supporting instruction included the directors' perception of the importance of HIV prevention education and the involvement of school nurses.

COVID-19 was a great challenge for schools. It forced the reorganisation of learning processes and their operation in a context where school principals played a key role. Previous studies had shown some of the defining characteristics of female leadership to be the incorporation of emotions and the development of more collaborative and supportive environments. This article analyses the actions carried out by female school principals that facilitated the management of the crisis generated by COVID-19. Employing a case-study methodology, the experiences of 12 female principals from the capital of Chile were addressed through in-depth interviews. The results suggest that female principals exercised positive leadership defined by a caring component in the areas of their interactions, their context and their management and administration. We conclude that these actions allowed them to achieve a balance between the individual and collective needs of the educational actors, promoting the well-being of their communities. El COVID-19 implicó un gran desafío para las escuelas en tanto reorganizó los procesos de aprendizaje y su funcionamiento, contexto en el cual el rol de directores y directoras fue fundamental. Previamente la literatura había dado cuenta de características propias del liderazgo femenino tales como la incorporación de las emociones y el desarrollo de entornos más colaborativos y solidarios. Este artículo analiza las acciones desplegadas por directoras escolares que facilitaron el abordaje de la crisis generada por el COVID-19. Se realizó un estudio de caso en el que se abordaron las experiencias de 12 directoras de la capital de Chile a través de entrevistas en profundidad. Los resultados muestran que las directoras ejercieron un liderazgo positivo marcado por un componente de cuidado en los ámbitos de sus interacciones, su contexto y su gestión y administración. Se concluye que dichas acciones permitieron lograr un equilibrio entre las necesidades individuales y colectivas impulsando el bienestar de sus comunidades.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the issue of distance education in primary schools has become a much-discussed topic. It is therefore no surprise that the issues related to it have come to the forefront of many researchers. There is, however, at least one group that has stayed relatively unnoticed, and it is so-called small schools. Thus, we conducted a qualitative study based on the phenomenological approach, searching for answers to our research question: What has been the experience of the directors of small schools with distance education during the pandemic? Our findings offer an in-depth insight into the life of six schools through the eyes of their directors. Semi-structural interviews with school directors helped us reveal three key factors that, in our opinion, had the greatest influence on the form of distance education. These are (1) the factor of ICT competence of all actors, (2) the factor of organization of educational settings, and (3) the factor of the teaching methods and forms used in education. Furthermore, we conclude the result section with a subchapter that captures the positive aspects of distance education as perceived by the addressed school directors.

As Nick Hutchinson, head of the acting and playwriting section of the English language division of the National Theatre School, puts it: “Directing is a difficult craft to teach and a difficult craft to learn, because to be a good director, you have to learn all the crafts of the theatre.” Hutchinson was speaking on a panel about actor expectations at the recent Directors’ Colloquium at Calgary, Canada’s first major attempt to engage directors in a comprehensive examination of the technical and theoretical issues involved in their art. Why has this not been previously attempted? Certainly part of the answer is that directing is still relatively new to the process of creating theatre: directors did not begin to appear until the mid-19th century, before which, actor-managers usually ran theatre companies. Consequently, the art of directing still is struggling to claim its identity, still is delineating its borders amongst the playwrights, actors, designers, and technicians who all collaborate on this most ephemeral form. Who is in control of what in the creative process understandably remains in a state of flux.

This study examined the influence of school resources on the effective implementation of e-learning in secondary schools in Kasese Municipality, Uganda. Specifically, the study investigated the impact of tangible resources, intangible resources, and school capabilities on e-learning in these schools. Using quantitative research approach, the study employed a correlational research design and collected data from 170 teachers using a self-administered questionnaire. The data were then analysed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The results of the SEM analysis revealed that school resources, namely tangible resources (? = 0.266, t = 3.612, p = 0.000<0.05), intangible resources (? = 0.234, t = 2.351, p = 0.019<0.05) and capabilities (? = 0.456, t = 5.129, p = 0.000<0.05), had a significant positive influence on e-learning. Based on these findings, the study concluded that tangible and intangible resources and school capabilities are necessary for the effective implementation of e-learning in secondary schools. The study recommends that the Ministry of Education, school directors, and head teachers ensure that schools have sufficient tangible resources for e-learning. Additionally, directors and head teachers should also ensure that schools possess adequate intangible resources and capabilities to support the effective implementation of e-learning. The practical significance of this study lies in its demonstration of how existing resources in schools can be utilised to implement e-learning in secondary schools effectively.

Las investigaciones muestran que una función directiva a través de la práctica del liderazgo es pieza clave para la transformación positiva de los centros escolares. El presente ensayo recoge las percepciones de un grupo de directores, como resultado de una investigación exploratoria que tenía como objetivo identificar, además de describir cómo perciben los directores la tarea de la función directiva en los centros educativos públicos de la Zona 8 de Guayaquil (Ecuador), especialmente los ubicados en contextos complejos, agravados por su problemática social. Esta investigación exploratoria, de tipo cualitativo, permitió recoger datos a través de técnicas como la entrevista en profundidad y grupos de discusión a un equipo nutrido de directores del Distrito 09D08 Monte Sinaí- Pascuales 2. Igualmente, los resultados dan respuesta a los objetivos específicos de esta investigación centrados, entre otros, en identificar el modelo de dirección actual percibido por los directores, transparentado de manera implícita y explicita, el discurso de los informantes. Además, del mismo emergen las funciones y lógicas de acción que ellos desarrollan para responder a las necesidades educativas de los estudiantes. Esto es debido a que una gran parte de su población estudiantil, provienen de familias que se encuentran en riesgo de exclusión social. AbstractResearch shows that a leadership role through the practice of leadership is a key to the positive transformation of schools. This essay reflects the perceptions of a group of principals, as a result of an exploratory investigation that aimed to identify, as well as to describe how the principals perceive the task of the directive function in public schools of Zone 8 of Guayaquil (Ecuador), especially those located in complex contexts, aggravated by their social problems. This qualitative exploratory research allowed the collection of data through techniques such as in-depth interviews and discussion groups to a team of Directors from District 09D08 Monte Sinaí-Pascuales 2. Likewise, the results respond to the specific objectives of this research focused, among others, on identifying the current management model perceived by the directors, implicitly and explicitly transparent, the informants' discourse. In addition, the same functions and logic of action emerge that they develop to respond to the educational needs of students. This is due to a large part of its student population, comes from families that are at risk of social exclusion.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The environment can exert a strong influence on people's food decisions. In order to facilitate students to make more healthy food choices and to develop healthy eating habits, it is important that the school food environment is healthy. The Healthy School Canteen programme of The Netherlands Nutrition Centre is an intervention that helps schools to make their cafeteria's offering healthier. A descriptive study was conducted by an independent research agency to survey the perceptions, experiences, and opinions of users of the programme (school directors, parents, students, and health professionals). Results show that directors and students of participating schools perceive their cafeteria's offering to be healthier after implementing the programme than prior to implementation. Next, further important results of the study are highlighted and relations with other projects, caveats, and practical recommendations are discussed. It is concluded that the Healthy School Canteen programme is a promising intervention to change the school food environment but that further research is needed to ultimately establish its effectiveness. Also, it will be a challenge to motivate all schools to enroll in the programme in order to achieve the goal of the Dutch Government of all Dutch school cafeterias being healthy by 2015.

The legal duties of high school athletic directors are an under-researched area of sport law. Millions of dollars are paid out annually due to the negligence of high school athletic program administrators, justifying a deep dive into further understanding high school athletic director legal awareness. Utilizing research related to an established 14 legal duties for high school athletics, the authors created a survey to contribute to the limited existing research related to high school athletic director legal awareness.
The survey went to a geographically balanced sample of states and the athletic directors within these states. A total of 349 responses were captured. A Rasch analysis identified the most challenging duties for high school athletic directors to manage were areas such as keeping practice plans on file and advising students of warning labels on equipment. Areas that high school athletic directors were better equipped to manage were transportation of students to practice and competition, and ensuring equipment meets industry standards.
Multiple regression analysis revealed that smaller schools are most challenged in legal duty awareness due to limited resources (e.g., financial and personnel). Research should continue to build in this area by evaluating other variables that may impact the ability to comply and explanations for the level of awareness of directors.

School-based interventions can play an important role in improving childhood and adolescent nutrition and preventing obesity. Schools offer a unique opportunity to implement policy, systems, and environmental interventions targeting healthy eating behaviors. An intervention was piloted in six middle schools featuring behavioral economics–based changes to the lunchroom, communication training, and communicate cues for food service staff. The pilot study employed a multicomponent evaluation with students and food service directors and staff including a lunchroom assessment, online surveys, production records, and interviews. Five schools increased their scores on the lunchroom assessment tool, and four schools increased the number of servings produced of healthy food items. Interviews with food service directors indicated the interventions was feasible and well received. School-based policy, systems, and environmental interventions targeting healthy eating behaviors may play a role in preventing obesity in children and adolescents.

The study's goal was to determine how well-prepared the public secondary schools in Bungoma North Sub County were to implement the 100% transition policy. Being completely equipped to implement transition policies so that access and quality are simultaneously improved is a quality of school readiness. In Kenya, a law known as the "100% policy" makes sure that every child enrolls in primary school and successfully completes secondary school. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of implementation of the 100% transition policy on infrastructure in public secondary school in Bungoma North Sub County. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The target population consisted of 126 teachers and 27 Directors of Studies from 27 schools. 38teachers and 9 Directors of Studies were chosen from 9 schools using a purposeful sample method. After applying the Mugenda & Mugenda 30% algorithm to the population of teachers and principals, 126 teachers and 27 Directors of Studies were obtained, establishing the unit of analysis. Structured questionnaires for instructors and an interview schedule for school principals were used as data gathering tools. A pilot study using Cronbach's alpha was conducted in the neighboring county of Trans-Nzoia to evaluate the validity and reliability of the research tools. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 27.0 was used to analyses the data. According to the report, schools that saw a significant rise in enrolment as a result of the program typically had inadequate infrastructural facilities. As a result, the study came to the conclusion that schools are not as ready to implement the 100% transition strategy. According to the report, in order to effectively implement the 100% policy, the government should ensure that the infrastructure, teaching and learning resources, and teachers are enough.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Purpose: The general objective of the study was to investigate digital literacy and media consumption among different age groups. Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library. Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to digital literacy and media consumption among different age groups. The study found significant disparities in digital literacy levels that affected media consumption behaviors. Younger generations, with higher digital literacy, preferred dynamic, interactive digital media, while older adults relied more on traditional media due to lower digital literacy and difficulties navigating digital platforms. Socio-economic status, educational background, and access to technology influenced these disparities. The study emphasized the need for targeted digital literacy initiatives to bridge this divide and promote inclusive media consumption, ensuring all age groups could benefit from digital resources. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Theory of Diffusion of Innovations, Uses and Gratification Theory and Media Richness Theory may be used to anchor future studies on digital literacy and media consumption among different age groups. The study recommended targeted educational programs to address varying digital literacy levels, suggesting advanced digital skills training for younger generations and user-friendly basic skills training for older adults. It contributed to theory by emphasizing the role of age in digital literacy research and urged the expansion of theoretical frameworks to include socio-economic and educational influences. Practically, it called for age-appropriate digital content and school curricula integration, while policy recommendations included investing in digital infrastructure, supporting public digital literacy programs, and addressing digital privacy and cybersecurity issues to foster an inclusive digital environment.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
A school district’s need to satisfy the school community’s expectations for current, accurate information and manage a social media presence has increased the necessity for superintendents to employ public relations professionals. As such, these professionals are a recent addition to many school districts’ administrative teams. However, few research studies were located that focused on public relations professionals or communication directors in public schools. The purpose of this literature review was to identify empirical studies and professional association resources that provided historical, contextual, and relevant information about communication directors in school districts. Based on the findings, we uncovered three themes related to the history, roles and responsibilities, and standards for public relations professionals. Such information can help practitioners support communication functions and help researchers identify needed lines of inquiry.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The global pandemic caused by the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) in spring 2020 resulted in schools moving to remote learning (RL) models for the remainder of the academic year. The purpose of this study was to examine the practices, experiences, and perspectives of elementary and secondary school band directors in relation to RL during this period. Directors ( N = 462) responded to survey questions related to several aspects of RL, including (a) technologies and materials, (b) activities and assessments, (c) student participation, (d) the challenges of teaching remotely, and (e) the extent to which experiences varied among participants in low-poverty versus high-poverty schools and at the elementary/middle school level versus high school level. I also examined (f) the conditions and practices of programs that experienced both high and consistent levels of student participation. Data indicated that the COVID-19 shutdown created many challenges for directors, particularly in schools with higher poverty levels and/or in rural locations. However, RL also created opportunities for instrumental teachers to incorporate into curricula (a) a wider range of technology; (b) more of a focus on individual musicianship; (c) lessons in music theory, history, and culture; and to a lesser extent, (d) student creativity through composition and arranging.
