Misbehaviour is one of the major problems that is rampant in primary schools and hinders the academic performance of most learners hence a concern for all stakeholders. The major purpose of this study was to find out the causes of misbehaviour at primary school level in Zimbabwe, particularly in Makonde District. The focus of the research was on how factors such as parenting styles and sociocultural factors exacerbate misbehaviour in primary schools getting insights from Bandura’s Social learning theory, Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological systems and Baumrind’s Parenting styles as well as Tafjel’s Social identity theory. The research adopted a mixed approach involving the interpretive research paradigm which hinges the qualitative research approach. The descriptive survey research design was employed to study purposively sampled two (2) head teachers, ten (10) teachers and twenty (20) learners from two (2) primary schools. Data were collected using interviews, observations and document analysis. The study revealed that misbehaviour is due to poor parenting, peer pressure, influence from mass media, permissive school environments, drug abuse, poor home background and the anti-social environments where learners live. The study also revealed that misbehaviour leads to poor academic performance. The researchers recommended for a collaborative effort between teachers and parents and the engagement in guidance and counseling sessions in schools to reduce the rate of misbehaviour amongst primary school learners.

ELEMENTOS QUE INFLUENCIAM NA OPÇÃO PELA VIA DE PARTO
Authors: Lisboa Klein Camila , Moreira Silva Camila , De Almeida Castro Kammoun Nicole , Lopes de Freitas Felipe , Castro Phaedra
Published: February 2024

Introdução: O momento do parto figura-se como essencial para o binômio materno-fetal, e o processo de escolha da via de parto é regido por inúmeros fatores externos, componentes biopsicossociais e do imaginário materno. Discussão: Com base nos estudos, foram identificados diferentes elementos que influenciam nesta decisão, e à despeito de ser um direito da gestante optar pela via de parto, conforme os riscos e benefícios informados pelo médico, constatou-se que o princípio da autonomia muitas vezes não é respeitado, tornando as mulheres coibidas, apesar de sua vontade inicial. Neste cenário, o Brasil vive uma verdadeira epidemia de partos cirúrgicos, em especial na rede suplementar de saúde, a então denominada cultura da cesárea. Considerações: O intenso intervencionismo desnecessário e o não raro desrespeito à autonomia da gestante no processo de decisão, culminaram no surgimento de movimentos em apoio ao parto humanizado e crítica à interferência médica, revelando a necessidade de um novo olhar de mudança sob a assistência obstétrica atual para um modelo centrado na gestante.

The Impact of Social Media on Political Polarization
Authors: Otieno Polycarp
Published: February 2024

Purpose: The main objective of this study was to explore the impact of social media on political polarization.

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 revealed that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the impact of social media on political polarization. Preliminary empirical review revealed that social media significantly contributes to political polarization through mechanisms like filter bubbles and echo chambers. It emphasizes the need for media literacy programs and critical thinking to navigate these platforms effectively. The implications are substantial, impacting society and democracy. Future research should delve into individual characteristics and cross-cultural variations, while policymakers and social media companies should consider transparency and algorithmic adjustments. By addressing these challenges and promoting informed discourse, we can work towards a healthier democratic environment in the digital age.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Filter Bubble Theory, Spiral of Silence Theory and the Selective Exposure Theory may be used to anchor future studies on political polarization. The study offered four key recommendations. Firstly, there is a need to enhance digital media literacy programs to equip individuals with critical thinking skills to discern credible information on social media. Secondly, social media platforms should prioritize algorithmic transparency and accountability to avoid inadvertently exacerbating polarization. Thirdly, promoting civil and constructive online discourse, discouraging toxic behavior, and enforcing moderation policies can foster a more inclusive online environment. Lastly, supporting independent fact-checking and news verification initiatives can help combat the spread of misinformation and promote reliance on credible sources, thereby reducing the impact of misinformation on political polarization.
