The poverty-related attainment gap is an internationally recognised problem. There is growing recognition that it cannot either be understood or addressed without taking cognisance of children’s mental health and wellbeing. The focus of this conceptual article is to examine the impact of social inequality and poverty on the mental health and wellbeing and attainment of children and young people in Scotland through the lens of resilience. While not a ‘state of the art’ literature review, a systematic approach was adopted in the selection of the literature and in the identification of themes to emerge from it. A range of risk and protective factors at the individual, social, societal and political levels emerged as impacting on the mental health and wellbeing and attainment of children living in poverty, and three important mediating variables are the negative impact of social stratification and adverse childhood experiences and the positive impact of a supportive adult. Schools alone cannot solve the problem. The findings revealed that there is a need to build a strong infrastructure around families and schools and to examine how economic, social, health and educational policy interact with each other as a starting point in addressing the problem, supported by inter-disciplinary research.
与贫困相关的成就差距是一个国际公认的问题。人们日益认识到,如果不认识到儿童的心理健康和福祉,就无法理解或解决这一问题。这篇概念性文章的重点是通过弹性的视角来研究社会不平等和贫困对苏格兰儿童和年轻人的心理健康、福祉和成就的影响。虽然不是“最先进的”文献综述,但在选择文献和确定从中出现的主题时采用了系统的方法。个人、社会、社会和政治层面的一系列风险和保护因素对生活在贫困中的儿童的心理健康、福祉和成就产生了影响,三个重要的中介变量是社会分层和不良童年经历的负面影响以及成年人的支持所产生的积极影响。单靠学校是解决不了问题的。调查结果显示,有必要在家庭和学校周围建立强大的基础设施,并在跨学科研究的支持下,研究经济、社会、卫生和教育政策如何相互作用,以此作为解决问题的起点。

Transition from primary (elementary) to secondary school can be both an exciting and a daunting prospect for young adolescents. Ensuring that students quickly settle into their new secondary school environment is the goal of transition programmes employed by schools. These programmes typically comprise a number of discrete and interrelated initiatives that often commence in the year prior to the move and continue during the initial months in the new school. These activities generally include specific initiatives for both the students and their parents. The needs of both groups are many and varied. It is critical that whatever transition events and strategies are planned, the needs of all students and parents are catered for. In this article the authors propose that the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) may provide a useful basis for the development of transition programmes that address the needs of all participants. UDL is based on three principles which are: multiple means of engagement, multiple means of representation, and multiple means of action and expression. Examples outlining how these principles can be applied before, during and after transition are provided. The authors conclude with the proposition that research be conducted in a variety of cultural contexts and across countries to investigate whether transition programmes based on UDL principles better enable schools to meet the needs of all transitioning students and their parents.
从小学到中学的过渡对青少年来说既令人兴奋又令人生畏。确保学生迅速适应新的中学环境是学校采用的过渡方案的目标。这些方案通常包括一些离散和相互关联的举措,这些举措通常在搬迁前一年开始,并在新学校的最初几个月继续实施。这些活动通常包括针对学生及其家长的具体举措。这两个群体的需求是多种多样的。至关重要的是,无论计划什么样的过渡活动和策略,都要满足所有学生和家长的需求。在这篇文章中,作者提出,通用学习设计(UDL)的原则可以为制定满足所有参与者需求的过渡计划提供有用的基础。UDL基于三个原则,即:多种参与方式、多种表现方式以及多种行动和表达方式。提供了概述如何在过渡之前、期间和之后应用这些原则的示例。作者最后提出,应在各种文化背景下和各国之间进行研究,以调查基于UDL原则的过渡计划是否能更好地使学校满足所有过渡学生及其家长的需求。

Depressive adolescents are a challenging and vulnerable group in schools. Specific developmental features such as irritability and comorbid behavioural disorders complicate the recognition of their emotional problems for peers, teachers and even parents. Our research shows that teachers tend to overlook depressive feelings in adolescents; however, even peers are not able to recognize depressive feelings appropriately. Emotional problems can result in underachievement, the inability to learn and problems building satisfactory interpersonal relationships. Our review of research findings detects a complex interplay between social dynamics of exclusion and depression. Educational intervention and prevention efforts with respect to evidence-based social-emotional learning (SEL) programmes are summarized. It can be concluded that the implementation of systematic SEL concepts in schools has the potential to recognize depression-related problems early, to prevent exclusion and to reduce the burden of depressive disorders.
在学校里,抑郁青少年是一个具有挑战性和易受伤害的群体。易怒和共病行为障碍等特定的发展特征使同龄人、老师甚至父母对其情绪问题的认识变得复杂。我们的研究表明,教师往往忽视青少年的抑郁情绪;然而,即使是同龄人也无法恰当地识别抑郁情绪。情绪问题会导致成绩不佳、无法学习以及难以建立令人满意的人际关系。我们对研究结果的回顾发现,排斥和抑郁的社会动态之间存在着复杂的相互作用。概述了在循证社会情感学习方案方面的教育干预和预防工作。可以得出的结论是,在学校实施系统的SEL概念有可能尽早认识到与抑郁症相关的问题,防止排斥,并减轻抑郁症的负担。

The effective schools literature has shown that school-contextual aspects matter for students’ academic and social outcomes. A potential link here may be the quality of the relationships between teachers and students, but few studies have investigated whether features of school effectiveness are in fact associated with students’ perceptions of teacher caring, which is the main purpose of this study. Based on recently collected data from 150 senior-level school units in Stockholm, school effectiveness in terms of teacher-assessed ‘school leadership’, ‘teacher cooperation and consensus’, and ‘school ethos’ (n = 2073) was analyzed in relation to perceived teacher caring as reported by students (n = 8022). Two-level linear regression analyses showed that all three aspects of school effectiveness were predictive of higher levels of perceived teacher caring among students. The findings suggest that these features of school effectiveness constitute an important foundation for promoting the quality of teachers’ relationships with their students.
有效的学校文献表明,学校环境方面对学生的学业和社会成果很重要。这里的一个潜在联系可能是师生关系的质量,但很少有研究调查学校有效性的特征是否实际上与学生对教师关怀的看法有关,这是本研究的主要目的。根据最近从斯德哥尔摩150所高级学校单位收集的数据,我们分析了教师评估的“学校领导”、“教师合作与共识”和“学校风气”(n = 2073)与学生报告的感知教师关怀(n = 8022)之间的关系。两水平线性回归分析显示,学校效能的所有三个方面都能预测学生对教师关怀的感知水平。研究结果表明,学校效能的这些特征是提高师生关系质量的重要基础。

Supporting the socio-emotional aspects of the primary–secondary transition for pupils with social, emotional and behavioural needs: Affordances and constraints 支持有社会、情感和行为需求的学生从小学到中学过渡的社会情感方面:支持和约束
IF 1.6 Q3 EDUCATION & EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH Pub Date : 2019-02-11 DOI: 10.1177/1542305018817850

The primary–secondary transition presents both opportunities and challenges for children. For some, it may represent a ‘critical period’ which impacts their future mental health and well-being. This article focuses on identifying the affordances and constraints of a group-work approach to support children with social, emotional and behavioural needs (SEBN) across the transition with a specific focus on the socio-emotional aspects of transition. This evaluative, mixed-methods case study took place in six clusters of primary/secondary schools in Scotland involving 63 pupils who participated within support groups for around twenty 1-hour sessions. It focuses on the accounts of Support group Leaders, drawing from focus group discussions held within each cluster and a Likert-type scale questionnaire. A wide range of facilitators and barriers to implementation and to pupil progress were identified. Facilitators related principally to the quality of relationships and pedagogy which the support group afforded and the quality of support for the project. Barriers related principally to organisational and resource constraints and more general concerns around how behaviour support is perceived. The article argues that supporting the transition for pupils with SEBN is complex and there is no ‘magic bullet’. Building a supportive infrastructure from the outset is key to success.
小学到中学的过渡给儿童带来了机遇和挑战。对一些人来说,这可能代表着一个影响他们未来心理健康和幸福的“关键时期”。这篇文章的重点是确定小组工作方法的可供性和限制,以在整个过渡过程中支持有社会、情感和行为需求的儿童(SEBN),特别关注过渡的社会情感方面。这项评估性、混合方法的案例研究在苏格兰的六个中小学集群中进行,涉及63名学生,他们在支持小组中参加了大约20次1小时的会议。它侧重于支持小组领导人的叙述,借鉴了每个小组内举行的焦点小组讨论和Likert型问卷。确定了各种各样的促进者和阻碍实施和阻碍学生进步的障碍。促进者主要与支持小组提供的关系和教学质量以及对项目的支持质量有关。障碍主要与组织和资源限制有关,更普遍的问题是如何看待行为支持。文章认为,支持SEBN学生的过渡是复杂的,没有“灵丹妙药”。从一开始就建立一个支持性的基础设施是成功的关键。

This article aims to explore the concept of student well-being and how it can be introduced and integrated within Pakistan’s educational structure. The basis of the discussion is built around the need for having a student well-being model for schools in Pakistan. For the purpose of the study, the information is gathered inductively through a detailed literature review of the relevant data, which was further supplemented by three case studies from the public, private and catholic schools in Victoria, Australia. Along with this, extensive literature review was made of Pakistan’s education system. Following the completion of the literature review and case studies, a comprehensive framework is proposed along with a student well-being management plan for developing and integrating the student well-being model into the existing educational programme in the country.

The role of schools in both educating children about loss and change and supporting bereavement experiences is emphasised, yet, school staff report low confidence in being able to support children when someone dies. This article reports on an evaluation of bereavement training that was offered to eight schools in Scotland and aimed to assist school communities to develop knowledge and confidence in engaging and supporting bereaved children. Pre and post questionnaires were used to measure the confidence, beliefs and values of 282 school staff that attended the training. Two focus groups were held for 6–18 months following the training to gain an understanding of the longer-term impact. Findings suggest that participants viewed bereavement support as part of their role and that a short and targeted bereavement-training programme can contribute to raising the awareness and confidence of school staff to respond to the needs of bereaved children.
学校在教育孩子关于失去和改变以及支持丧亲经历方面的作用得到了强调,然而,学校工作人员报告说,当有人去世时,他们对能够支持孩子的信心很低。本文报告了对苏格兰八所学校提供的丧亲培训的评估,该培训旨在帮助学校社区发展参与和支持丧亲儿童的知识和信心。采用前后问卷对282名参加培训的学校教职工的信心、信念和价值观进行测评。培训后举行了两个焦点小组,为期6-18个月,以了解长期影响。调查结果表明,参与者将丧亲支持视为其职责的一部分,短期和有针对性的丧亲培训方案有助于提高学校工作人员的认识和信心,以应对丧亲儿童的需求。

Children and adolescents from low-income families now comprise a majority of public school students nationally. As the number of students from low-income backgrounds increases, so does the achievement gap between them and their wealthier peers. This phenomenological qualitative study examined a national sample of high-achieving, low-income middle school students’ (N = 24) perspectives on what schools can do to promote the academic achievement of students from low-income backgrounds. Three main themes and seven subthemes were identified: create a culture of hope, develop relational networks, and establish meaningful parent–school collaborations. Implications for counselors and educators serving youth living in poverty are discussed.
来自低收入家庭的儿童和青少年现在占全国公立学校学生的大多数。随着低收入家庭学生数量的增加,他们与富裕家庭学生之间的成绩差距也在扩大。本现象学定性研究考察了全国高成就低收入中学生(N = 24)的观点,即学校可以做些什么来促进低收入背景学生的学业成就。确定了三个主题和七个副主题:创造希望文化,发展关系网络,建立有意义的家长-学校合作。讨论了为贫困青年服务的辅导员和教育工作者的启示。

Book review: Collaborative School Leadership: A Critical Guide 书评:《合作学校领导:关键指南》

Philip Woods and Amanda Roberts offer a valuable exploration of how leadership that is based on a deep commitment to social justice can improve the experiences of school children as well as those who are employed to support their development. It productively focuses on two key questions that all school communities should reflect upon: (1) what is leadership? and (2) what should leadership be? In response to these questions, collaborative leadership is offered as an ‘alternative vision’ to a top-down approach. This book is neatly divided into 10 accessible chapters. In its first chapter, a concise overview of the book’s aspirations is outlined, and there is a critical exploration of hierarchical and democratic leadership styles. Subsequently, non-hierarchal management, which has a commitment to democratic values and practices, is called for. Woods and Roberts do however acknowledge that, even when there is a strong organisational belief in the value of such leadership, traditional hierarchies are likely to continue to exist unless substantive whole school change takes place. This note of caution is extremely welcome as it flags up the scale of the change that schools must go through to establish management that is fully democratic. They explain how:
菲利普·伍兹(Philip Woods)和阿曼达·罗伯茨(Amanda Roberts)对建立在对社会正义的坚定承诺基础上的领导力如何改善学童以及那些受雇支持他们发展的人的体验进行了宝贵的探索。它富有成效地关注了所有学校社区都应该反思的两个关键问题:(1)什么是领导力?(2)领导力应该是什么?针对这些问题,合作领导是自上而下方法的“替代愿景”。这本书整整分为10章,便于阅读。在第一章中,简要概述了本书的抱负,并对分级和民主领导风格进行了批判性探索。随后,要求实行非等级管理,致力于民主价值观和实践。然而,伍兹和罗伯茨承认,即使组织对这种领导力的价值有着强烈的信念,传统的等级制度也可能继续存在,除非整个学校发生实质性的变革。这一警告非常受欢迎,因为它表明了学校必须经历的变革的规模,才能建立完全民主的管理。他们解释了如何:
