Authors: Njugia Mary Wangui , Ndiga Beatrice , Kimotho Michael 
Published: November 2024

This study assessed the influence of parental involvement on students’ discipline in public secondary schools in Turkana Central Sub-County, Kenya. The study adopted a concurrent mixed-method design. The quantitative approach used a cross-sectional survey design, while qualitative data used a case study design. The target population was 15 public secondary schools, 15 principals, 330 teachers, and 3600 students. Simple random sampling was used to select 12 out of 15 public secondary schools. Criterion purposive sampling was used to include all the 12 principals and their respective 12 deputy principals. The 116 teachers were selected using stratified simple random sampling. Systematic sampling was adopted to select 360 out of 3600 students. Data collection tools included questionnaires and an in-depth interview guide. Both inferential and descriptive statistics were used to analyze quantitative data, which was presented in frequencies, percentages, tables and graphs. Qualitative data were analyzed using a thematic approach and presented in the form of narratives and direct quotations. The study revealed that the principal’s administrative practices, including parental involvement, significantly influence students' discipline in public secondary schools in Turkana Central Sub-County, Kenya. However, parents were found not effectively involved in matters concerning students’ discipline. The study recommends that principals establish clear and consistent discipline policies that are effectively communicated to students, parents, and staff. These policies should clearly outline expected behaviors, consequences for misconduct, and disciplinary procedures. Principals should also invite parents to participate in meetings concerning student discipline, as their involvement can provide valuable insights and foster a collaborative approach to behavioral management.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0702/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Nikolaou Eirini , Theodorakopoulos Dimitris , Galani Alexandra 
Published: November 2024

This study focuses on exploring fourth grade (9-year-old) primary students’ (N=11) reflections on the opportunities they were given to externalise their emotions and thoughts induced by music by participating in music listening activities, in a general primary classroom context. The students worked in pairs; they first listened to four short musical excerpts, and they were then invited to represent them verbally, through writing, and visually, through painting. The participants recorded their ideas on worksheets. Data were collected over a 6-week period through participant observation/observational notes, a questionnaire with closed-ended questions, semi-structured interviews as well as on the basis of the students’ produced work. Overall, the primary students were positive towards the activities expressed regarding the activities, as they had the opportunity to express themselves, to escape from the routine of everyday school life and the stress of classes, to enhance their imagination and creativity, to interact with their peers and to participate in something that they enjoyed and wished to be repeated in the future.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0710/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
AN ASSESSMENT OF THE PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT CONTRIBUTION ON THE PRIMARY SCHOOLS’ ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN TANZANIA
Authors: Godson Leonard , Gwambene Brown , Mwahombela Lucas 
Published: November 2024

Parental involvement is very important in student’s learning and academic progress in primary schools. However, the combined impact of various factors, including poverty, illiteracy in some families, lack of time, language, and lack of knowledge about the curriculum, especially among the parents, makes their effective involvement in their children’s education challenging. This study utilized the social capital theory developed by Pierre Bourdieu and the community participation theory by Sherry Arnstein to have a clear understanding of the study. The combination of the two theories provided an understanding of parental involvement in primary school education in the study area. The study employed a descriptive research design that used both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The targeted population consisted of public primary school students, teachers, head teachers, ward education officers, and school-going students' parents. Questionnaires, interview guides and documentary reviews were used to collect information about parental involvement in public primary schools. Qualitative data was analyzed mainly through thematic analysis, and SPSS software was used to analyze the quantitative data. Simple statistics have been presented in tables and figures to depict the frequencies, percentages and means in relation to the findings of the study. The study found that parental involvement contributes much to the lives of schools. Without it, it could be hard to run the school’s activities. This is because the schools are better managed through the collective efforts of both teachers and parents, as well as other educational stakeholders in the community. Therefore, the government should educate parents about the necessity of their involvement in schools so as to be ready to take responsibility for supporting their children in different ways.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0704/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Saha Eshita , Sarkar Ratan 
Published: November 2024

India is home to over 84.4 million tribal people, or Adivasis, who represent some of the country's poorest communities, still reliant on traditional practices such as hunting, agriculture, and fishing, with distinct cultures, languages, and lifestyles. In West Bengal's Alipurduar District, over 80% of the population belongs to ethnic tribes. This study investigates the educational problems and needs of secondary-level tribal students in Alipurduar, focusing on gender differences. A survey of 60 students was conducted using the standardized "Educational Problems Questionnaire" and a self-developed "Educational Needs Questionnaire." The findings revealed that 51% of students face challenges in teaching methods, 54% in the social and educational environment, 56% in organizational and administrative issues, and 59% due to cultural and historical factors. Additionally, 48% of respondents expressed educational needs related to school education, 55% expressed societal support, and 44% expressed family involvement. These results underscore the importance of addressing the specific educational challenges faced by tribal students to promote equitable learning outcomes.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0710/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

REVIEW OF INTEGRATING TAI CHI INTO ACADEMIC CURRICULUMS: IDENTIFYING ITS LIMITATIONS AND CHALLENGES IN IMPLEMENTATION
Authors: Nkemeni Darrin Sime , Hong Hao 
Published: November 2024

This paper explores the declining interest in Tai Chi among younger demographics, identifying several core issues. The prevalent stereotype that associates Tai Chi primarily with the elderly diminishes its appeal to younger audiences, as its slow, meditative movements lack the excitement found in traditional martial arts. Furthermore, conventional teaching methods often prioritize rigid form and theory over interactive, engaging practices. In an age dominated by digital distractions, activities without immediate gratification struggle to attract attention, with many students gravitating towards high-energy sports that promise quick results. Innovative teaching strategies are essential to rejuvenating interest in Tai Chi. By integrating modern fitness trends, utilizing technology such as apps or virtual trainers, and emphasizing the mental health benefits of Tai Chi, its attractiveness can be significantly enhanced. Developing a dynamic curriculum that balances theoretical understanding with practical application while including interactive elements can deepen student engagement. Additionally, highlighting Tai Chi's versatility and real-world applications can pique interest, as can combating stereotypes through the promotion of young, charismatic practitioners on social media platforms. The proposed strategies aim to reposition Tai Chi as a relevant and appealing practice for today’s youth, fostering a new generation of practitioners.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0796/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

This Course Is Ungraded: The Impact of Ungrading Practices on Students and Their Instructor
Authors: Kesler Ted 
Published: November 2024

The researcher studied ungrading practices in an introductory course on emergent language and literacy in the early years for undergraduate students interested in pursuing careers as classroom teachers at an urban public college in the northeast United States. Based on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), the researcher applied self-efficacy and reflective teaching theories to address how a course designed with ungrading practices impacted students’ self-efficacy and the researcher as a reflective teacher. The researcher used mixed methods to analyze data. Findings show that students’ participation presented a calibration of dynamic interaction between personal, behavioral, and environmental factors. Findings also show how integral it was to build a supportive learning community to develop students’ self-efficacy. Ungrading practices created conditions for a humanizing pedagogy. The researcher applied an ethics of care that diminished power over students and instead emphasized power with students. This shift in power enabled dialogic discourse that informed responsive teaching and reflective practice. Rather than best practices, a course designed with ungrading practices is deeply contextual and requires an inquiry stance.

Authors: Barbosa Meirelane Claro , Barreto Denise Leda , Reis Philippi Machado dos , Leonel Augusto César Leal da Silva 
Published: November 2024

Uma apresentação facial harmônica, com estética apropriada e equilíbrio pós-tratamento, são imprescindíveis ao sucesso de todo tratamento ortodôntico. A meta do profissional deve ser o alcance desses resultados, considerando um realístico plano de tratamento a ser colocado em execução, que não interfira no movimento dental e ao mesmo tempo tenha o mínimo efeito colateral. Atualmente os Mis são uma opção que apresenta maior eficácia na ancoragem absoluta, com o menor desconforto para o paciente. O objetivo da pesquisa é aprofundar, através da revisão de literatura, o conhecimento acerca da efetividade dos MIs na intrusão maxilar. O trabalho é uma revisão de literatura, de natureza descritiva e qualitativa, para a qual foi realizada uma busca por artigos, nas base de dados: BVS, Lilacs e Google acadêmico, no período entre o ano de 2010 e 2023. O resultado a que a pesquisa chegou foi de que a utilização do mini implante na intrusão maxilar representa uma abordagem inovadora e eficaz, ampliando as possibilidades terapêuticas na prática ortodôntica. Com o avanço das técnicas e a crescente aceitação por parte dos pacientes, espera-se que essa ferramenta continue a evoluir, contribuindo para tratamentos ortodônticos mais rápidos e com resultados estéticos satisfatórios.
ALCOOLISMO, O VILÃO SILENCIOSO: DANOS SOCIAIS E FAMILIARES
Authors: Nascimento Deise Caldeira do , Mendonça Francisco Cardoso , Lopes Júnior Hélio Marco Pereira 
Published: November 2024

O alcoolismo é caracterizado pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) como uma patologia crônica e um problema de ordem social. A pesquisa avalia os danos psicológicos, sociais e interpessoais causados pelo consumo excessivo de álcool, compreender os desafios psicossociais, discutir a importância do processo terapêutico para o dependente químico além de citar as intervenções psicoterapêuticas como forma de tratamento. Utilizando uma abordagem qualitativa de revisão integrativa cuja coleta de dados foi realizada por fontes confiáveis como: literatura latino-americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS) e Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) com utilização dos descritores: álcool, dependência química e drogas lícitas. A análise é fundamentada na resolução 510/2016 do Conselho Nacional de Saúde, a qual ressalta a relevância de pesquisas que auxiliem a revisão de literatura científica. Portanto, infere-se que a dependência química é um transtorno complexo caracterizado por um desejo incontrolável de consumir substâncias psicoativas, a qual vem apresentando consequências negativas cada vez mais, sendo ainda considerada uma doença crônica pela OMS. Desta forma, conclui-se que a dependência química deve ser vista e tratada como alteração no estado de saúde que requer uma abordagem multidisciplinar para o tratamento e prevenção. O entendimento sobre o assunto e a empatia são indispensáveis para apoiar os indivíduos em sua jornada de recuperação e para criar uma sociedade mais consciente dos perigos associados ao abuso de substâncias psicoativas. É essencial haver colaboração contínua entre profissionais de saúde, educadores, famílias e políticas públicas para enfrentar efetivamente a toxicomania. Além disso, torna-se importante promover o acesso a recursos de tratamentos adequados e apoiar pesquisas que busquem novas formas de intervenções e prevenção do adoecimento. Considerasse agregar informações e quebra de tabus sobre o assunto, que poderão servir como suporte para estudantes e profissionais da saúde mental.
A Modern Form of the Sacred
Authors: Furey Constance M. 
Published: November 2024

Édouard Glissant’s Poetics of Relation is unlikely to strike most readers as a sacred text. True, the design of the 1997 English paperback edition hints at something mysterious within. The seventeenth century map on the cover, glowing green and only partially visible from the front, disrupts the geographic orientation a map might be expected to provide. The seeming clarity of the title, author, and translator, is likewise unsettled by their placement, suspended above the surrounding white expanse. Yet this trace of eeriness is easily dispelled by the physical book’s assertion of scholarly credentials. “Michigan,” the name of the university press publisher, prominent on the spine and back, also announces itself on the front cover, and the text on the back declares the book an aesthetic and political—but not sacred—project, with three blurbs praising the translator’s achievement and the author’s brilliance. The Library of Congress cataloguing information on the copyright page tells us that Poetics of Relation, Glissant’s third monograph, is first and foremost about his birthplace (Martinique--civilization, language, culture, nationalism, and literature of). Secondarily, according to the cataloguers, it is a book about the French connection (“6. Martinique—Dependency on France. 7. West Indies, French—Relations—France. 8. France—Relations—West Indies.”). Scholarly interpretations of Poetics of Relation are of course more expansive and exploratory than cataloguing’s brevity allows. Still, most who write about this strange and beautiful text focus on poetics and politics, with very few lingering over Glissant’s own claims about the importance of the sacred.
NIETZSCHE'S CRITICISM OF THE MODERN VISION OF HISTORY

A INCLUSÃO DOS ANIMAIS NÃO-HUMANOS NO IGUALITARISMO
Authors: Silva Diego Alexandre Neves da 
Published: November 2024

Igualitarismo pode ser definido como o ponto de vista que defende que, uma situação melhora em ao menos um aspecto se o valor contido nessa situação é distribuído de forma mais igualitária entre os indivíduos. Apesar de ter muitos adeptos, parte da teoria foi ignorada por eles: o igualitarismo leva em consideração todos seres sencientes, mas os animais não-humanos, que são a maioria desses seres, não estavam sendo incluídos nos textos sobre o assunto, tornando essa literatura incompleta e impontual. Isso faz necessário um estudo sobre as consequências que esse ponto de vista tem para com o animais não-humanos. Entre os poucos que discutiram sobre essas consequências estão Horta, Faria, Holtug, Lippert-Rasmussen, Person e Vallentyne, que serão minhas referências bibliográficas para mostrar seis consequências do igualitarismo para os animais não-humanos: (1) rejeitar o especismo, (2) não prejudicar animais não-humanos para o próprio benefício, (3) envolvimento no ativismo em prol dos animais não-humanos, (4) ajudar ativamente animais não-humanos, independente de onde esses animais vivem, o que inclui animais que vivem na natureza, (5) dar prioridade de atendimento das necessidades aos animais não-humanos, e (6) essas cinco consequências acima independem do tipo de igualitarismo que for assumido. Palavras-chaves: igualitarismo, animais não-humanos, especismo.
