This study used a longitudinal, probability sample survey, Understanding Society Covid-19, to examine young people's post-16 educational aspirations at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, with a particular emphasis on four vulnerable groups (namely, young carers; Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic young people; young people with long-term illness and disability; and people with internalising and externalising behavioural difficulties). The findings from this study showed young carers and young people with health conditions to be less likely to choose A levels, despite reporting roughly equal levels of school engagement and school-related support. The Covid-19 pandemic has laid bare the obstacles often faced by young carers and young people with pre-existing health conditions and behaviour difficulties. It is hoped that the findings will contribute to debates about social care and education and will have implications for public policy and action, especially as public services are under enormous strain and are less likely to reach those who need them most.

本研究采用纵向概率抽样调查“了解社会Covid - 19”,在Covid - 19大流行高峰期检查年轻人16年后的教育愿望,特别强调四个弱势群体(即年轻照顾者;黑人、亚裔和少数族裔青年;患有长期疾病和残疾的年轻人;以及内化和外化行为困难的人)。这项研究的结果表明,年轻的照顾者和有健康状况的年轻人不太可能选择A - level,尽管他们的学校参与度和学校相关支持水平大致相当。2019冠状病毒病大流行暴露了年轻护理人员和已有健康问题和行为困难的年轻人经常面临的障碍。希望这些发现将有助于关于社会关怀和教育的辩论,并将对公共政策和行动产生影响,特别是在公共服务承受巨大压力并且不太可能到达最需要它们的人的情况下。

In both the literature on inclusive education and in international policy development, there has been considerable interest in the use of sets of indicators for the implementation of inclusive education at national and local levels. Drawing on sets of indicators developed in Europe and the Pacific Islands, this study proposes a set of such indicators for Kuwait. These indicators are then presented in a survey of 161 special education teachers working in public elementary mainstream schools across Kuwait. Analysis of the results is used to explore how such indicators could play a role in promoting policy implementation for inclusive education in Kuwait and more widely in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.

在关于全纳教育和国际政策制定的文献中,人们对在国家和地方各级使用一套指标来实施全纳教育非常感兴趣。根据欧洲和太平洋岛屿制定的一系列指标,本研究报告为科威特提出了一套这样的指标。然后在对科威特全国公立小学主流学校161名特殊教育教师的调查中提出这些指标。对结果的分析用于探讨这些指标如何在促进科威特和更广泛的海湾合作委员会(GCC)国家的包容性教育政策实施方面发挥作用。

Internationally, there continues to be a rise in the popularity of home-schooling. Although the growth in the numbers of families choosing this alternative approach was evident prior to the Covid-19 Pandemic school closures, it appears to have impacted on the decision for some to home-school permanently. Using a scoping review of the literature, this paper considers the research evidence around home-schooling in the United Kingdom and Europe. It then focuses on home-schooling in the Republic of Ireland to assess the change and development of home-schooling over time. In line with trends internationally, Irish administrative data show an increase in the numbers of families engaging in home-schooling in recent years, particularly for students with disabilities. The paper situates these findings within the context of ongoing debates on inclusive and special education in Ireland and the capacity of mainstream schools to educate and include every student.

在国际上,家庭教育的受欢迎程度继续上升。尽管在Covid-19大流行学校关闭之前,选择这种替代方法的家庭数量明显增加,但这似乎影响了一些人永久选择在家上学的决定。通过对文献的范围回顾,本文考虑了英国和欧洲关于家庭教育的研究证据。然后重点介绍爱尔兰共和国的家庭教育,以评估家庭教育随时间的变化和发展。与国际趋势一致,爱尔兰的行政数据显示,近年来从事家庭教育的家庭数量有所增加,特别是对残疾学生。本文将这些发现置于正在进行的关于爱尔兰包容性和特殊教育以及主流学校教育和包括每个学生的能力的辩论的背景下。

Decolonizing Nigerian Educational System as an Impetus for a Holistic Development 非殖民化的尼日利亚教育系统推动整体发展

The importance of education in the development of individuals and society as a whole cannot be overemphasised. But when it is not indigenised, some of the aims may become defeated as traditional norms are destroyed and social productivity is curtailed. Studies have therefore advocated for a decolonised education as the probable solution to the socio-cultural and economic challenges facing the continent of Africa. Consequently, this paper examined decolonised education in Nigeria as an impetus for a holistic development. In addressing the subject, the paper examined decolonized education in Nigeria; the impacts of western education on Nigeria and indigenous education; and the importance of decolonising education for African centred development. The paper further argued that while the structure for a decolonised education exits in the country, nothing much has been done in the area of implementation in recent times. The paper therefore recommended that concerted efforts must be made to decolonise education at all levels in order to pave way for a holistic and Nigerian centred development.
教育对个人和整个社会发展的重要性怎么强调都不为过。但如果不本土化,一些目标可能会失败,因为传统规范被破坏,社会生产力被削弱。因此,研究提倡非殖民化教育作为解决非洲大陆所面临的社会文化和经济挑战的可能办法。因此,本文审查了尼日利亚的非殖民化教育作为全面发展的推动力。在讨论这个问题时,该文件审查了尼日利亚的非殖民化教育;西方教育对尼日利亚和本土教育的影响;以及非殖民化教育对以非洲为中心的发展的重要性。该文件进一步指出,虽然该国存在非殖民化教育结构,但最近在执行领域没有做多少工作。因此,该文件建议必须作出协调一致的努力,使各级教育非殖民化,以便为全面和以尼日利亚为中心的发展铺平道路。

This study examines the extent to which school administrators involve pre-primary teachers in decision making related to implementation of structured play activities in Tanzanian government pre-primary schools where Longido and Monduli were used as study cases. Collegial Models of educational leadership and management developed by Tony Bush guided the study. The study adopted Convergent design of mixed methods approach. Sample of the study included 268 respondents where 34 were head teachers, 34 were academic teachers, 136 were internal school quality assurance team members, and 64 were pre-primary teachers who were obtained through stratification, purposive, and simple randomly respectively. Data were collected through structured questionnaire and semi-structured interview. Quantitative data were analysed descriptively and through inferential statistics while qualitative data were analysed thematically. Findings show that teachers’ involvement in school administrative decision making related to structured play activities is very low. Hypothesis testing shows existence of significant relationship between low level of teachers’ involvement in school administrative decision making and those teachers’ inadequate implementation of structured play activities in pre-primary classes. The study concludes that low level of implementing structured play activities by the pre-primary teachers is associated with low level of teachers’ involvement in school administrative decision making. The study recommends that administrators should involve pre-primary teachers in decision making so as to improve implementation of structured play activities.
本研究以Longido和Monduli为研究案例,考察了学校管理人员让学前教师参与坦桑尼亚政府幼儿园实施结构化游戏活动决策的程度。托尼·布什提出的教育领导和管理的大学模型指导了这项研究。本研究采用混合方法的收敛设计方法。本研究样本共268人,其中校长34人,学术教师34人,学校内部质保团队成员136人,学前教师64人,分别采用分层法、有目的法和简单随机法抽取。数据收集采用结构化问卷和半结构化访谈。定量数据进行描述性和推理统计分析,定性数据进行主题分析。调查结果显示,教师参与学校行政决策有关的结构化游戏活动是非常低的。假设检验表明,教师对学校行政决策的参与程度低与教师在学前班级中不充分地实施结构化游戏活动存在显著的关系。本研究发现,学前教师实施结构化游戏活动的水平较低,与教师参与学校行政决策的水平较低有关。研究建议行政人员应让学前教师参与决策,以改善有组织的游戏活动的实施。

Representation of Educational Elitism and Entrepreneurship Merit in Contemporary Africa: A Cultural Shift to Self-Fulfilment 当代非洲教育精英主义和企业家精神的表现:向自我实现的文化转变

This paper explores and acknowledges the recurring theme of education in African literature, which is often depicted as both a means to reclaim African identity and culture and a tool for social mobility and economic empowerment. Using the Interpretive Interactionism methodology, the study identifies a growing emphasis on the representation of entrepreneurship as a form of vocational training, experiential and work-based learning that can supplement or even replace traditional educational qualifications. This evolving perspective reflects cultural shifts to self-fulfilment, where entrepreneurship is seen as a viable path to success. This study contributes to our understanding of the multifaceted role of education in postcolonial francophone African literature. The findings highlight the complex nature of education in many African societies and its potential for positive transformation as well as challenges to traditional notions of elitism, empowerment, and self-fulfilment.
本文探讨并承认了非洲文学中反复出现的教育主题,这一主题通常被描述为重新获得非洲身份和文化的手段,也是社会流动和经济赋权的工具。使用解释互动主义方法,该研究发现越来越强调将创业作为一种职业培训、经验和基于工作的学习形式,可以补充甚至取代传统的教育资格。这种不断演变的观点反映了文化向自我实现的转变,在这种转变中,创业被视为通往成功的可行途径。这项研究有助于我们理解教育在后殖民时期法语非洲文学中的多方面作用。研究结果强调了许多非洲社会教育的复杂性及其积极转变的潜力,以及对精英主义、赋权和自我实现的传统观念的挑战。

The findings highlight the complex nature of education in many African societies and its potential for positive transformation as well as challenges to traditional notions of elitism, empowerment, and self-fulfilment.","PeriodicalId":46054,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Special Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91180726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated security threat eventuality: strategies school administrators are planning to adopt in Delta state, Nigeria. This inquiry was based on two research questions and two hypotheses, using the descriptive survey. The population consisted of 476 school administrators in Delta State, of whom 190 were selected through stratified sampling. A Security Threat Questionnaire (STQ) was used to gather information. Data obtained were coded and analysed using mean and standard deviation and a t-test to test formulated hypotheses at a .05 significance level. Findings revealed that security threats school administrators in Delta State are prone to include stealing among students, fighting, kidnapping of teachers and students, and destruction of school property by students, among others. Also, strategies school administrators are planning to adopt in the event of a security threat include contacting security operatives, encouraging students to report any security threat, and informing teachers and students to be more vigilant during school hours, among others. It was thus recommended amid others that school administrators should contact security operatives like the Nigerian Police Force, community police, or those who volunteered to keep the community and schools safe from any security threat.
