The mental health and psychological well-being of refugee children and young people: an exploration of risk,resilience and protective factors     

Shaheen Mohamed  Miles Thomas 《Educational Psychology in Practice》2017,33(3):249-263

This research investigates the perceptions of refugee children, refugee parents and school staff regarding the positive adaptation of refugee children in a new social context and the effects on mental health and psychological well-being. This included an exploration of resilience and the role of risk and protective factors. Few studies have focused on views from a resilience perspective, and these have tended to use quantitative rather than qualitative measures. This mixed methods piece of “real world” research adopted a “what’s working well” perspective and explored the important voices of these children, parents and school staff. Staff, parent and child responses were triangulated to provide a rich picture of the potential protective factors operating within the school and family environment. Implications for practice are discussed.  相似文献   

Childhood maltreatment and adolescent sexual risk behaviors: Unique,cumulative and interactive effects     

《Child abuse & neglect》2017

Child maltreatment has been associated with sexual risk behaviors. Previous investigators have typically studied only one form of maltreatment, preventing them from exploring interrelations between forms of maltreatment and their impact on sexual risk behaviors. Thus, this study aims to examine the unique, cumulative, and interactive effects of four maltreatment forms (sexual abuse, physical abuse, neglect, and witnessing interparental violence) on sexual risk behaviors. The sample comprised 1940 sexually active adolescents (M_age = 15.6; 60.8% girls) attending Quebec (Canada) high schools. Regression results showed that all maltreatment forms were associated with having a higher number of sexual partners, casual sexual behavior, and a younger age at first consensual intercourse. Physical abuse and witnessing interparental violence were associated with inconsistent condom use, and physical abuse was associated with sexually transmitted infections. After controlling for all forms of maltreatment (unique effects), analyses showed that sexual abuse, physical abuse, neglect or witnessing interparental violence remained statistically associated depending on the sexual risk behavior. A greater number of forms of maltreatment was associated with more sexual risk behaviors (cumulative effect). When sexual abuse was not experienced, neglect was associated with a higher number of sexual partners (interactive effects). In general, associations between maltreatment and sexual risk behaviors were similar for both genders. The magnitude of the relationship between a specific form of child maltreatment and sexual risk behaviors may be inaccurately estimated when not controlling for other forms of maltreatment.  相似文献   

Exploitation or opportunity? Student perceptions of internships in enhancing employability skills     

Henrietta O’Connor  Maxine Bodicoat 《British Journal of Sociology of Education》2017,38(4):435-449

Internships are now widely promoted as a valuable means of enhancing graduate employability. However, little is known about student perceptions of internships. Drawing on data from a pre-1992 university, two types of graduate are identified: engagers and disengagers. The engagers valued internship opportunities while the disengagers perceived these roles as exploitative and worthless. Few were able to distinguish paid, structured internship opportunities from unpaid, exploitative roles. We conclude that higher education institutes need to be more proactive in extolling the value of paid internships to all students and not just those most likely to engage with their services.  相似文献   

Conceptualising the surveillance of teachers     

Damien Page 《British Journal of Sociology of Education》2017,38(7):991-1006

Schools are risky places: the risk of a poor Ofsted report, the risk of sliding down league tables, the risk of teachers abusing children, the risk of teachers being falsely accused of abuse. As a result of risk anxiety and the ever-increasing sophistication of technology, the surveillance of teachers has proliferated, becoming a future-oriented pursuit to manage this risk. Drawing on the surveillance studies literature, this article attempts to theorise the surveillance of teachers. Firstly the article argues that there are three types of teacher surveillance: the vertical perpetuated by Ofsted and senior school leaders such as teaching observations and learning walks, but also students recording their teachers on mobile phones; horizontal surveillance enacted by peers in terms of concertive control, but also parental surveillance via online and offline networks; and, finally, intrapersonal surveillance embracing reflective practice, data reporting and self-policing proximity from children. The article then concludes by arguing that while surveillance in schools embraces the themes of modern surveillance in general, by doggedly retaining the proximal and the interpersonal, it should be considered a hybrid form between traditional and modern forms of surveillance.  相似文献   

Why do Kenyan children live on the streets? Evidence from a cross-section of semi-rural maternal caregivers     

《Child abuse & neglect》2017

Globally, study of factors contributing to the street-migration of the tens of millions of street-involved children focus almost exclusively on children’s perspectives. In this study, we assess household and maternal factors associated with street-migration of children through self-report of 1974 randomly selected women in semi-rural Kenya. Contributing new perspectives on this global phenomenon, data show a statistically significant association between increased maternal childhood adversities and street-migration of children (p < 0.001). Higher household wealth (p < 0.01) and maternal education (p < 0.05) were associated with lower odds of street-migration of children. Social support, reporting HIV+, school enrollment of biologically-related children, overall health, reported alcohol use, and functional literacy significantly mediated these pathways. Protecting children from street-migration in the next generation requires reducing childhood adversities in the present generation.  相似文献   

An analysis of associations between residential and school mobility and educational outcomes in South African urban children: The Birth to Twenty cohort     

Carren Ginsburg  Linda M. Richter  Brahm Fleisch  Shane A. Norris 《International Journal of Educational Development》2011

Using data from Birth to Twenty, a cohort of South African urban children, the current paper investigates the relationships between residential and school mobility and a set of educational outcomes. The findings provide some evidence of a positive association between changes in residence and numeracy and literacy scores, and school mobility was found to be associated with grade repetition, however, no relationship was observed between changes in school and competency in numeracy and literacy. The South African study provides a counter example to trends observed in higher-income countries, while highlighting that associations are likely to be context specific.  相似文献   

对防范高校大学生管理法律风险的思考   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

周建伟 《青海师范大学学报(哲学社会科学版)》2011,(4):40-43

随着我国法治进程的不断推进,依法治校作为法治的延伸和展开,成为高校依法对学生管理的背景和支撑。大学生的法律意识和权利意识越来越强。高校的教育管理权与学生的权益之间的冲突已经成为不可避免的事实。作为高校,既不能借国家公权力侵害学生的正当权利,也不能一味迎合学生的诉求而放弃国家赋予的管理权力;作为学生,既要有保护个人正当权利不受侵害的＂维权＂意识和诉求,同时也负有履行学校依法管理职权的＂护法＂义务与责任。本文对加强高校大学生管理法律风险防范提出了对策。  相似文献

反打工·亲学校文化现象剖析——农民工输出地儿童认知观问题研究     

符平  唐有财 《教育发展研究》2011,(Z2)

儿童对教育的认知关系到其代际流动和自身发展。本研究发现,农民工输出地儿童尽管成长在有着打工传统的社区环境中,但打工文化对他们的影响有限,他们中对打工持否定意见的较为普遍,相反却崇尚读书的价值,对学校文化表现出亲和的倾向,这在群体意义上否定了既有相关研究的观点和结论。这一发现有助于洞察农民及农民工地位再生产的机制,同时也可以解释农村儿童失学和弃学现象的真正原因。所以,对农民工输出地的儿童而言,无论其未来的社会流动结果表现如何,反打工·亲学校文化将是他们抗拒底层再生产、通过教育实现代际向上流动的一股力量。  相似文献
