Much qualitative education research has examined the intersectional identities of queer youth and Latina youth, in both cases highlighting how their identities converge with, collide with, or in other ways relate to their lives in schools. These studies have approached identity from a variety of lenses—borderlands, social practice and figured worlds, and others. They have also offered various positions on the extent to which the youth demonstrate agency and resistance. This chapter reports on a study that used meta-ethnography to synthesize the theoretical approaches, claims, and implications of the extant ethnographic work on Latina gender identities and sexualities. It finds that Latina high school and college students explored their identities in complex ways while questioning norms from both their own backgrounds and the dominant culture. At the same time, the authors represented their participants as having varying degrees of agency and commitments to collective, transformative resistance.

AbstractIt has become a necessary requirement of the time for colleges to carry out enterprise education to produce high-quality personnel with entrepreneur spirit and ability. It is discussed at the beginning of this article that the purpose and status quo of the enterprise education for college students in China and then the reasons for the poor condition in enterprise education are explored. It is found out that colleges do not provide an effective systematic platform for enterprise education; necessary personnel are not provided for such purpose in the teaching staff in Chinese colleges; in actual operation practical effect is not achieved in the moral training in colleges. Therefore, new concept in moral training must be introduced and first-rate teaching staff must be provided for the effective enterprise education. Special courses must also be systematically compiled for the purpose.

High Risk Drinking

The present study examined the relationship between high risk drinking and college students' self-perceptions. High risk drinking was defined as the consumption of four or more drinks in a row for women and five or more drinks in a row for men during a single sitting (within the last year). Historical trends regarding college-age drinking indicate that 44% of college students fit the criteria for high risk drinking at least once over the past year. A survey was administered to 210 college students (52 men and 158 women) between 18 and 22 years of age ( M = 20.9, SD = 1.3) to assess their use of alcohol and their self-perceptions. Students' self-perceptions were measured with four subscales from the Neemann-Harter Self-perception Profile for College Students. Students either volunteered to participate in this study outside of class or were solicited during class. It was predicted that students' self-perceptions would differ significantly depending upon their alcohol consumption, i.e., 17.1% were Abstainers, 25.2% were Nonproblem Drinkers, and 57.6% were High Risk Drinkers. Analysis gave significant difference on Global Self-worth between students who abstained and those who were High Risk Drinkers. However, students' perceptions of Scholastic Competence, Intellectual Ability, and Social Acceptance did not differ significantly for the alcohol consumption groups. In addition to high risk drinking, a number of other variables were associated with self-perceptions, such as high school alcohol use, low high school GPA, and students' reported academic involvement. These relations are discussed.

Today, drug abuse is commonly done such as high school and college students; 65% of them used drugs in 2011. The most effective strategy of preventing from and handling napza in changing adolescents’ behavior is through health education such as peer education and interactive lecture. The objective of the research was to find out the influence of peer education and interactive lecture on students’ knowledge and attitude at SMA PAB 4 Sampali, Percut Sei Tuan. The research used quasi experiment. The population was 160 students and 60 of them were used as the samples with 30 of them were in the peer education and the 30 students in interactive lecture. The data were gathered by using questionnaires and analyzed by using paired t-test, Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney test. The result of the research showed that health education with interactive lecture had the influence on the increase in students’ knowledge (p<0.001) and attitude (p<0.001) toward napza. Health education with peer education had the influence on the increase in students’ knowledge (p<0.001) and attitude (p<0.001) toward napza. Health education with peer education was more effective in knowledge and attitude than interactive lecture. It is recommended that the school management make the policy on any activity in increasing information about napza to adolescents by providing peer education since it is the most appropriate for adolescents. It is also recommended that the management of BNN make ex-napza users participate in health education.
