For women, working outside the home can both consume and generate personal resources, which in turn can have an impact in their work and family domains. In this study, direct and indirect relationships were explored between work-to-family conflict and work-to-family enrichment, job satisfaction, satisfaction with family life and satisfaction with life, in a sample of 473 women with paid work and adolescent children in Temuco, Chile. Using structural equation modelling, results showed that participants’ satisfaction with life was associated with their satisfaction in both work and family domains. Evidence was also found for underlying mechanisms explaining the relationship between work-to-family conflict and life satisfaction, and between work-to-family enrichment and life satisfaction. These findings contribute to organizational-level knowledge for designing practices and strategies to promote favourable conditions to increase women’s work-to-family enrichment.

This paper reports the findings of a study investigating higher education institutions (HEIs) in Romania and the motivations lying behind the decision of undertaking professional mobilities in academia. Although professional mobilities are known to be a frequent practice in various fields of activity, the teaching and research mobilities of academics distinguish themselves among the mobilities of all sectors, deserving a special attention. In this context, our study investigated the incentives and deterrents of undertaking academic mobilities in Romanian HEIs. It divided the determinants of undertaking mobilities into those leading to mobilities and the others slowing them down. Results have shown that the desire of expanding professional experience has the highest influence on teaching and research staff's decision to undertake a mobility, while insufficient funding explains mobilities drop-off, as it is the factor of highest influence on people’s decision of not undertaking mobilities. The study also analysed the mobility post factum implications for the academic community. The development of research networks and career enrichment were the main benefits of academic mobilities indicated by study results. In this sense, most study participants reported that they developed their network to do research during the mobilities and they have also managed to enrich their professional careers thanks to these mobilities.

The aim of research is to investigate high school students who have moved to Israel from the Palestinian Authority in order to study. We used qualitative research based on semi-structured interviews. The research participants of this study were students and teachers affiliated with a high school in the North of Israel. The paper discusses those students’ experiences of identity crisis between their self-identity and their national identity. The paper also voices the students’ feelings of alienation and disconnection to their school community, leading to gaps in the academic, social, and familial difficulties. This study shows that these difficulties lead to a conflict of identity between their original identity – the Palestinian Authority – and their new identity as students in an Arab school in Israel. This situation might lead to feelings of disconnection and alienation, that must be addressed by the entire school community.

This paper studies the sexual knowledge of college students in Zhuang areas of border China, and discusses the current situation of sexual knowledge of college students in Zhuang areas. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by quantitative content analysis. 525 college students in Zhuang areas were investigated. The conclusion shows that the Zhuang College Students' sexual knowledge is seriously insufficient, and the Zhuang College Students' understanding of sexual knowledge is not comprehensive. The Zhuang college students have a good grasp of the sexual knowledge of pregnancy and contraception, but they have a poor grasp of the sexual transmission route, while the Zhuang female college students have a better grasp of the sexual knowledge than the Zhuang male college students. There is no significant difference in mastering sexual knowledge between rural and urban areas, and there is no significant difference in mastering sexual knowledge between different grades. Among the 525 Zhuang college students tested, 95.05% thought they needed to understand sexual knowledge. The Zhuang college students themselves still had urgent needs. Most of the students in Zhuang universities acquire sexual knowledge through the Internet, newspapers and students, and lack formal and systematic learning opportunities. Social and cultural backgrounds shape college students' sexual knowledge. At present, there is a serious lack of sexual knowledge among college students in frontier ethnic areas. It has had a great impact on people's lives. Zhuang college students hope to learn more about sexual physiology and psychology through school lectures or compulsory courses. Gender difference is a crucial factor for the differences in sexual knowledge of Zhuang college students.

This research aims to examine the educational needs of visual arts teachers for the use of museums in line with the out-of-school approach to education in terms of learning status and professional seniority variables. The research was carried out using a scanning model from quantitative methods. Visual arts teachers (n=140) make up the universe of research. The results obtained from the researcher that the educational needs of teachers in terms of learning status variable; organizing pre-implementation activities, teaching strategy, using methods and techniques, communicating effectively, ensuring personal and social development and post-implementation activities has shown that it does not differ in regulatory dimensions. However, it has also been found that the educational needs of teachers differ in the way they regulate the educational environment. However, visual arts teachers' educational needs regarding the out-of-school education approach are regulated according to the professional seniority variable, regulating the environment, teaching strategy, using methods and techniques, communicating effectively, ensuringpersonal and social development and post-implementation it has been determined that it does not differ in the dimensions of organizing activities. However, when the opinions of teachers on all dimensions were examined, it was understood that teachers with professional seniority of 16 years or more had a lower degree of need for the approach. This result indicates that teachers in this group have more knowledge of the approach. However, it was found that teachers who needed more education than other teachers had professional seniority between 6-10 years.

This paper deals with resilience in unaccompanied foreign minors (referred to as MENA in Spanish) who are in Melilla, either in reception centres or in a “street situation”. The presence of these young people in Melilla has been increasing significantly since 2014, becoming a major problem for a city of only 12.3 km2, a population of approximately 87,000 inhabitants and bordering Morocco, the country from which most of them come. The aim of this study is to identify and analyse the behaviours or elements that favour resilience in MENA. To this end, a quantitative methodology has been chosen, using a questionnaire with a sufficient degree of validity and reliability aimed at identifying the MENA with the greatest number of resilient indicators. The sample consisted of 148 MENA, chosen by probability sampling. The results show that most of them have migrated for work. Almost all of them are from urban backgrounds and come from large families. More than half have a good family relationship. They have been in Melilla for up to 12 years, are multilingual, more than half feel Moroccan and many are not in school. In 10 years’ time, most of them imagine themselves married, with a stable job and living in another Spanish city. Young people in a “street situation”, who are the most resilient, prefer to be on the street rather than in a reception centre. Three clusters corresponding to MENA profiles with different levels of resilience were identified through a two-stage analysis.

The purpose of this study is to explore the teaching methods and related theoretical studies of gender differences in bel canto. Focusing on four aspects: breathing, vocalization, resonance, and emotional expression, this study implements vocal music through gender-differentiated teaching methods and strategies. By carrying out a case study, the author summarizes the application and effectiveness of these teaching methods in the teaching of bel canto, and draws the following conclusions based on the research results: first, teaching methods tailored for gender differences enable students to make rapid progress in singing, breathing, vocalization, resonance, and emotional expression; their goals of learning vocal music are clearer. Second, the gender- dependent teaching methods promote the amelioration of vocal music teaching, break through the difficulties in practical teaching, and improve the teaching level and ability of instructors. Finally, this article puts forward teaching and research suggestions for vocal teachers and vocal education.

Disruptive behaviours negatively interfere with learning outcomes, forcing schools to identify effective preventive and intervention strategies in order to improve behavioural school climate. An extensive body of research promotes School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) as an effective preventive framework to foster prosocial behaviours and simultaneously reduce disruptive behaviours. This paper presents the findings from a study that aimed at investigating problematic behaviours during primary education among typically developing children and to examine subgroup differences in the effectiveness of the SWPBS framework in Romania. Participants in our study were a sample of 973 teachers teaching in 30 schools from the Arges county schools. A descriptive statistical analysis was undertaken (a) to identify the type and intensity of disruptive behaviours, (b) to analyse the characteristics of schools with a high frequency of problematic behaviours and (c) to test if school-related variables (such as school size and location) can be linked with students’ disruptive behaviours. Results indicated that higher rates of disruptive behaviours identified by teachers from our research sample were noisiness while entering the school, running in hallways. Problematic behaviours are more likely to be identified and defined by more experienced teachers, although the correlation proved to be small. Problematic behaviours correlated positively with school size and location. The bigger the school, the more disruptive behaviours were present. The current study adds to the evidence that schools are unique organizations and a school-wide prevention model should be developed considering the school characteristics and their specific context. Research limitations and implications for policies are also discussed in this paper.

Social work is a practice-based profession and academic discipline that promotes social change. According to the academic literature, the relationship elements between the professional and the client explain 45 percent of the change that occurs in a socio-relational intervention. The study objective is to measure the effectiveness of attitudes and interventions that social workers implement during the helping relationship. A review that synthesized scientific evidence was carried out. The results distinguished between attitudes and interventions. On the one hand, they highlighted the relevance of the therapeutic alliance for attitude development. On the other hand, they pointed out the importance of motivational interviewing as well as “cognitive-behavioral” and “Solution-Focused Brief Therapy” theoretical models for intervention development. Conclusions highlighted attitudes and interventions implemented in social work which are typical of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and strengths-centered approach. In addition, emphasized the particular value of therapeutic alliance and motivational interviewing.
