Violencia Escolar

La violencia escolar cotidiana en parejas adolescentes como reacciones agresivas proactivas y reactivas se producen con frecuencia en los centros escolares; existiendo cada vez mayor preocupación por los problemas de convivencia escolar, el deterioro de las relaciones interpersonales y  la prevención de la violencia de género en los centros educativos de Educación Secundaria.  Un elemento importante para evaluar en estas situaciones son las actitudes e  intereses en temas morales y predisposición hacia la violencia en estudiantes de educación secundaria. Por ello, en el presente estudio descriptivo se presentan los resultados de un cuestionario sobre valores y actitudes en temas morales analizando diferencias en función del género y de la edad. Los participantes en esta investigación han sido 490 estudiantes de educación secundaria, con edades comprendidas entre los 11 y los 15 años, con una edad media de 13.21 años (DT=1.19). Los resultados demuestran diferencias estadísticamente significativas por género y edad, pudiéndose apreciar, en términos generales, una mayor tendencia a la despenalización de la violencia si es en defensa de lo propio y menor predisposición a la emisión de conductas prosociales tanto en los chicos en comparación con las chicas así como en el grupo de adolescentes de menor edad. Para concluir, se destaca la importancia de una detección y evaluación temprana de actitudes e intereses hacia estos temas morales con vistas a una educación integral dirigida a la mejora de la convivencia social y a la prevención de la violencia de género.

El ciberacoso es una realidad entre los adolescentes. En esta problemática no solo tenemos a cibervíctimas y ciberacosadores, sino que también están los ciberobservadores, los cuales juegan un papel fundamental. El objetivo principal fue conocer la prevalencia de ciberobservadores, ver las diferencias de género y edad, y relacionarlo con el uso del teléfono móvil y de Internet fuera de casa. Para ello se ha realizado un estudio transversal en el que se ha utilizado un cuestionario como instrumento. La muestra se ha seleccionado con un muestreo aleatorio estratificado, estando compuesta al final por un total de 950 estudiantes de la ESO, siendo un 50.4% chicos y con una media de edad de 13.93 (DT = 1.35). El 62.3% había observado al menos una de las conductas evaluadas durante el último año. Las chicas observaron en general más conductas que los chicos. En cuanto a la edad, los adolescentes de más edad son los que indicaron haber observado más ciberacoso. Aquellos adolescentes que disponen de ordenador en su propia habitación o los que tienen acceso a Internet fuera de casa observaron más ciberacoso. Teniendo en cuenta que el ciberacoso se da en un proceso grupal, los ciberobservadores juegan un papel fundamental para evitarlo. Cyberbullying is a reality among adolescents. In this problem we not only have cybervictims and cyberbullies, but also cyberobservers, who play a fundamental role in this problem. The main objective of this research is to find out the prevalence of cyberobservers, see gender and age differences, and relate it to mobile phone and Internet use outside the home. To this end, a cross-sectional study has been carried out using a questionnaire as an information-gathering tool. The sample was selected with stratified random sampling, and at the end consisted of a total of 950 secondary school students, of which 50.4% were boys and with an average age of 13.93 (SD = 1.35). 62.3% had observed at least one of the behaviors assessed during the past year. Women generally observed more behavior than men. In terms of age, older adolescents are the ones who reported having observed the most cyberbullying. Teenagers who have computers in their own rooms or those who have access to the Internet outside the home observed more cyberbullying. Given that cyberbullying occurs in a group process, cyber-observers play a key role in preventing it.

Mathematics Motivation

Abstract Background Motivation is critical for supporting persistence and achievement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. In this study, we focus on the assessment of mathematics motivation among secondary school students. We provide validity and reliability evidence for the Mathematics Motivation Questionnaire (MMQ)—adapted from the Science Motivation Questionnaire designed for college students—using data from 2551 secondary students from seven states across the United States. Results Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses confirmed five latent factors of the MMQ indicated by 19 items: intrinsic value, self-regulation, self-efficacy, utility value, and test anxiety. The nonlinear SEM reliability coefficients of the five constructs ranged from 0.76 to 0.91. To assess criterion validity, analyses using a subset of the data that included students’ mathematics standardized scores (n = 536) indicated that intrinsic value, self-regulation, and self-efficacy were significantly positively correlated with mathematics achievement, whereas test anxiety was significantly negatively correlated with mathematics achievement. Conclusions The MMQ provides a reliable, valid, and feasible measure of the specific factors underlying mathematics motivation among secondary students.

The study ascertained the level of academic competence of secondary school students in Osun State and also determined level of self-efficacy of the students. It investigated the influence of self-efficacy on the students’ academic competence. These were with a view to providing information on factor that could influence the academic competence of secondary school students. The study adopted descriptive survey research design. The population for the study comprised senior secondary school students in Osun State. The sample size comprised 600 respondents, selected using multistage sampling technique. One Local Government Area (LGA) was selected from each of the three senatorial districts in the State using simple random sampling technique. From each LGA, four senior secondary schools were selected using simple random sampling technique (12 schools in all) and from each school, 50 students were selected from senior secondary II using simple random sampling technique. Three instruments were used to collect information for the study, namely: Academic Competence Evaluation Scale (ACES), and General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES). Data collected were analyzed using percentages and ANOVA. The results showed that 9.41%, 60.21% and 30.37% of secondary school students in Osun State demonstrated low, moderate and high levels of academic competence respectively. The results of the study also indicated that there was a significant positive influence of self-efficacy on academic competence of the students (F =69.35; p<0.05). The study concluded that self-efficacy influenced academic competence of secondary school students in Osun State.
