Morita therapy, developed by Shoma Morita (1874-1938) in Japan, is a type of psychotherapy that has been applied to deal with neurotic symptoms. This therapeutic approach is based on the conviction that neurotic symptoms are universal issues that eventually subside if the symptoms are accepted and everyday activities are carried out. By examining a school-refusing female adolescent suffering from somatic complaints (mainly psychogenic fever), the present study explores the effectiveness of Morita therapy-based consultation on the adolescent's school refusal tendencies. The findings indicate that, after the school counselor provided Morita therapy-based consultation to the parents of the school-refusing adolescent and the school staff members, the adolescent returned to school and psychogenic fever became afebrile after several days of resuming regular school attendance. The implication of the results is that Morita therapy can be effective for dealing with school-refusing adolescents suffering from neurotic symptoms.

Competitions between countries occur in every field, from science to industry. This competition is inevitable in the field of sports, which is the greatest feature of publicity in countries, one of the tools of getting political advantage and the greatest focus of global capital. This competition, which is seen in the fields of sport, sometimes becomes extreme and situations arise which are far from reflecting the nature of sports. Especially the efforts of athletes to represent their countries in the best way sometimes cause them to behave inappropriately to their opponents. Thus, the purpose of this study is to find out whether athletes' being on the national team has any effects on their moral structure and to find out whether the attitudes they show to their opponent during competition are ideological or moral. Phenomenologic design was used in the study which was prepared with qualitative research method. The sample group of the study consists of 10 athletes in the junior national team who were determined with maximum variation sampling method. Individual interviews of an average of 10-12 minutes were conducted with the athletes within the context of semi-structured interview technique. The participants were informed that the interviews would be voice recorded and their expressions would later be converted into text to avoid data loss; the interviews were recorded after the necessary permissions were taken. Descriptive and content analysis method were used to analyze the expressions converted into text. Analysis results showed that the athletes stated that being on the national team had positive effects on moral structure due to motivating factors such as representing one's country and being role models and that they were led by their moral structure while competing with their opponents.

Student Growth Percentiles (SGPs) increasingly are being used in the United States for inferences about student achievement growth and educator effectiveness. Emerging research has indicated that SGPs estimated from observed test scores have large measurement errors. As such, little is known about &quot;true&quot; SGPs, which are defined in terms of nonlinear functions of latent achievement attributes for individual students and their distributions across students. We develop a novel framework using latent regression multidimensional item response theory models to study distributional properties of true SGPs. We apply these methods to several cohorts of longitudinal item response data from more than 330,000 students in a large urban metropolitan area to provide new empirical information about true SGPs. We find that true SGPs are correlated 0.3 to 0.5 across mathematics and English language arts, and that they have nontrivial relationships with individual student characteristics, particularly student race/ethnicity and absenteeism. We evaluate the potential of using these relationships to improve the accuracy of SGPs estimated from observed test scores, finding that accuracy gains even under optimal circumstances are modest. We also consider the properties of SGPs averaged to the teacher level, widely used for teacher evaluations. We find that average true SGPs for individual teachers vary substantially as a function of the characteristics of the students they teach. We discuss implications of our findings for the estimation and interpretation of SGPs at both the individual and aggregate levels.

In this study, it was searched for the extent to which proverbs and idioms were included in the children's books that were taught to elementary school students. Children's books which are taught at the stage of children's vocabulary enriched rapidly and significantly, present the vocabulary of the mother tongue and its universe of meaning to a child. The richness of a vocabulary provides superiority to the students in terms of human relations and their learning. Proverbs which are one of the elements that constitute the vocabulary of Turkish; are concise words that reflect society's wisdom, experiences, and expression power; idioms, on the other hand, are a stereotyped phrase which states a concept or a situation with an attractive narrative and which also has a side meaning. The method of this study is to document review. Within the scope of the study, children's books that are taught to elementary school students are described in terms of their use of proverbs and idiomatic expressions. The results obtained from the research are discussed in the light of literature, and suggestions for the researchers, teachers and authors are presented with the collected findings.

As makerspaces and hackerspaces pop up in libraries and museums, one little lab sits in the middle of an Information School, but it is not a maker-space, a gallery, or a museum. The MuseLab, at the Kent State School of Information, is something else, something new--or perhaps something familiar, but situated in a different context, making it less easy to define. The MuseLab is a laboratory for museum studies, where museality--the characteristic of something that in one reality documents another reality--is at the heart of all our activities. Created around design thinking principles and propositions of emergence and openness, the MuseLab is truly a space for experimentation, practice, and breaking rules in the interest of learning, innovating, and discovery. As more and more higher education courses go online, face-to-face creative group activities are becoming scarce. The story of the lab's genesis and development may be of interest for other LIS schools, programs, teachers, and information practitioners.

Research methods education in LIS master's degree programs is facing several difficult questions: should a methods course be required, what content should be taught in that course, and what is the most effective mechanism for teaching that content. There is little consensus about what should be taught or how, but the American Library Association, LIS educators, and many practitioners seem to agree that research methods are vital skills for 21st century LIS practitioners. This paper reports on an experiential learning opportunity called the &quot;unClassroom,&quot; which afforded LIS master's students the chance to complete a research project in one semester for an outside client (a statewide library consortium). The effectiveness of the unClassroom to teach research methods surpassed expectations and provides a model that may be of interest to other research methods educators in LIS master's programs.

Understanding information organization is a key component to navigating digital library environments as an information professional. While traditionally thought of within the areas of assessment and evaluation, citation indexing is another form of organization and navigation, and learning about it can transform one's knowledge of the information environment. In this article, McLaughlin and Tucker argue that an understanding of citation indexing should be emphasized to all library and information science (LIS) students as a way to further develop search expertise, and to enhance reference services and digital information literacy in any information setting. Situating this learning experience within the theory of threshold concepts, they provide evidence from student discussions of the transformative nature of a practical and conceptual understanding of citation indexing.

Children's librarians are often required to be performers. The purpose of the study reported in this paper was to determine the degree to which the Masters of Library Science (MLS) programs accredited by the American Library Association currently incorporate theatrical and performance-based training. A quantitative content analysis was conducted of 219 syllabi from 33 MLS programs to determine which courses included curriculum to support storytelling, puppetry, readers theatre, booktalking, read-alouds, and other performance elements. The results revealed that 93 of the courses currently incorporated one or more of these elements of performance or theatrical training. There was an overall limited degree of inclusion. All of the courses with the highest level of performance training were elective. Based on the results of this study, there may be room to consider whether the performance training offered by LIS Schools in North America is sufficient to equip children's librarians as they enter a field requiring those skills.

Working with tweens and teens can be challenging. They can be hard to reach and sometimes frustratingly difficult to engage. As a secondary school librarian, the author has often been asked about the philosophy and practices she has implemented in her library to keep students engaged and help them remain active library users. One of the things that she loves most about her job as a school librarian, first at a middle school and now at a high school, is the challenge of creating a fresh and engaging atmosphere that brings kids to the library and encourages reading for pleasure. The author is determined to foster an environment in her school library that creates an open, welcoming, and safe environment where a culture of reading will flourish and grow. Building a reading culture at the middle or high school level does not happen overnight, and stumbling blocks will be encountered along the way. Flexibility is key. Understand that some things expected to be smashing successes may end up being the biggest failures--and that it is okay. The author once had a principal who always said even if one fails, they are failing forward. This statement became the mantra for developing a culture of reading at the author's school. In this article, the author shares her story of the essentials for building a reading culture.

This study is aimed at creating a treatment model grounded by professionals' knowledge and that allows the development of skills to work with families in crisis. The participants, health professionals of the Latina Domestic Violence Program (LDVP) in Philadelphia, were interviewed individually, and the answers were analyzed in accordance with grounded theory methodology. The answers of the participants were used to emphasize the important aspects related to the situation of survivors of domestic violence. The participants identified two main elements necessary for an ideal program. 1. The program must have the capacity to address all the biopsychosocial needs of the family (financial, occupational, educational and mental health needs). Undocumented and non-English speaking users' needs must be considered when developing a program for Latino families. 2. It is important that the work team should be trained in several appropriate theories and/or of intervention that help to understand the Latino culture of the users. In this way, the use of a model based on the American culture that does not meet the specific needs of the community is avoided.

The research explores the relationship between sexism and homophobia in adolescents of a public educational institution in Chimbote. The research design was descriptive-correlational with a sample of 406 students, including boys and girls, from 1st to 5th level of secondary education. They were evaluated using the Acosta's Adaptation (2010) of the Sexism Detection Scale (Ramos, Cuadrado and Recio 2007), and the Paredes' Adaptation (2013) of the Modern Homophobia Scale (Raja and Stokes 2005). The results of the study exhibit a very significant, direct and strong relationship indicating that the greater sexism in adolescents, the more homophobic attitudes they show. A correlation of (r = 0.641** p &lt;0.01) was obtained for hostile sexism and homophobia toward gays, while a correlation of (r = 0. 658** p &lt;0.01) was obtained for hostile sexism and homophobia toward lesbians. A correlation of (r = 0.574** p &lt;0.01) was obtained for benevolent and sexism and homophobia toward gays, while a correlation of (r = 0.646** p &lt;0.01) was obtained for benevolent sexism and homophobia toward lesbians. There are levels of sexism by gender, a high level of hostile and benevolent sexism for male population with 14.1% and 15.7%, respectively. In addition, there are levels of homophobia by gender in adolescents toward gays and lesbians with 35.3% and 25.3%, respectively.

This research aims to know the relationship between the variables teachers' pedagogical management and instrumental performance in students from an Artistic Higher Education School. It is a descriptive and correlational research that seeks to find the relationship between both variables. The sample of the study consisted of 30 students of the symphonic band to whom two instruments were applied: a questionnaire for pedagogical management and a checklist for instrumental performance in the symphonic band. The results of the research showed when applying the Spearman's correlation formula a significance level of 5%, with a significant correlation of Rho = 0.843. Based on that, it is determined that a very good pedagogical management of teachers produces a very good instrumental performance of the symphonic band in the population under study. Specifically, when analyzing the results of the specific cognitive and procedural competences of the teacher in relation to the instrumental performance, a moderate correlation was found; when analyzing attitudinal and teaching competences of the teacher in relation to the instrumental performance, a good correlation was found. It was concluded that there is a significant correlation between the variables teachers' pedagogical management and instrumental performance.

Job uncertainty and ambiguity is a reality in many current societies, therefore, the idea of self-employment has taken a more active role, not only out of necessity, but also because it brings innovation and development to societies. In view of this situation, the following question arises: how can we strengthen the entrepreneurial spirit of our students? This article has the objective to collect theoretical information of the state of the art on entrepreneurship education: what it has been, what it is, and what can it be, in order to present the current condition of the topic, both in the psychological and pedagogical field. To achieve this objective, information from 108 research sources, mainly from scientific articles and books was collected, concluding that, although generally, entrepreneurship education has significantly contributed to the creation of businesses, developing countries, specifically, those in Latin America, still require extra effort to fully implement entrepreneurship topic in the curriculums, particularly because of challenges such as political instability, technology and international competition.

While beneficial to student engagement and learning outcomes, student-created research questions require a shift in thinking for the teaching team, which is made up of the school librarian, classroom teacher(s), and other specialists designing the inquiry learning experience. For librarians leading inquiry learning, this shift can seem difficult to manage. Relinquishing control of research outcomes can cause concern that students will not master the standards a unit is designed to address. By thoughtfully designing the culture, resources, and language around questioning and inquiry learning, the teaching team can be empowered to loosen their hold and guide learners to create high-level inquiry questions that spark the excitement of students and teachers alike. This article outlines four strategies for guiding student questioning: (1) developing and maintaining a classroom culture that supports questioning; (2) providing students with curated resources that build background knowledge while laying the foundation for inquiry questions that address the content; (3) building questions around a framework where questioning is consistently modeled, practiced, and encouraged; and (4) enabling students to constantly rewrite, revise, and reimagine their inquiry questions. This design empowers the teaching team to fully address curriculum and standards while empowering students to be the masters of their own learning.

The study focuses on the theoretical approaches of proactive and prosocial behavior of Covey (1996), Xifra (2009) and Roche-Olivar (2004), with the objective of analyzing the significant differences in the reduction of critical incidents in students from public and private schools in the district of San Juan de Lurigancho. To this end, two experimental workshops with quasi-experimental methodology were applied to three groups of students of first and second year of secondary education (Exp. G[subscript (proactivity)]= 17; Exp. G[subscript (prosociality)]= 15; Control G. = 16); A behavior observation log and the Guidelines for the Analysis of Critical Incidents (PANIC) instrument of Monereo and Monte (2011) were used. The outcomes indicate significant differences with better effects in the proactive behavior workshop (Hrp = 16.59, p &lt;0.05) compared to the verbal violence dimension in which better effects were obtained for the prosocial behavior workshop (Hrp = 14.12, p &lt;0.05); Finally, the limitations were that students in the proactivity workshop reduced their critical incidents by demonstrating excessive individualistic. And for later studies, it is suggested to work the above-mentioned workshops, including students attacked.
