The Impact

The purpose of this article is to describe the impact of the revised preventive interdisciplinary auricular program “Hashish and Marihuana” on attitudes and intentions towards hashish use among high school students in Israel. The redesigned curriculum, implemented by trained teachers, produces statistically significant attitude gains. The findings suggest that the program has a potential for a desired attitudinal modification within the target population, and that the contemporary “fourth generation” of preventive programs in drug education remain an effective prevention strategy. As the result of the evaluation research, the program will be officially disseminated to high schools during 1987–1988 by the Israeli Ministry of Education and Culture in collaboration with Haifa University.

The Impact

The outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic worldwide urged educational institutions to come up with quick and effective alternatives to ensure students’ learning and academic year continuity. Morocco was no exception to deal with that situation. As a response to the pandemic, the Ministry of Education launched distance learning as a “new” mode for learning across the country. The objective of the current study is to investigate students’ attitude towards distance learning during the pandemic. Also, it is an attempt to evaluate the impact of distance learning on students’ assessments. 119 students from 3 private schools in Rabat Morocco were involved in the study. A closed-questionnaire was shared with the target population via Google-Form. Later, 12 student informants were recruited to share insights on their learning journey amidst the outbreak of the pandemic. The findings reveal that students’ attitudes have shifted to a positive direction after being introduced to distance learning. However, the findings indicate that there is a negative correlation between distance learning and in-class assessment. The study also concludes by key recommendations found in the students’ responses and review of literature on the need to adopt effective methods in distance learning.

AbstractObjectiveTo ascertain the prevalence and correlated factors of providing consultation on sexual orientation and the characteristics of school nurses in high schools in Japan.MethodsParticipants were school nurses working in high schools in Aichi prefecture. Items investigated included background, experiences in providing counselling on sexual orientation, the availability of materials and resources for students, and learning experiences concerning how to handle sexual orientation concerns. We divided the respondents into two groups: one group who have provided counselling on sexual orientation before and one group with no such experience. Chi square tests were utilized to compare the responses between groups.ResultsAmong the respondents, 38.9% (n = 140) had previous experience of providing counselling to students on sexual orientation. The group with experience of providing counselling is more likely to have 10–29 years of experience, to work at a senior high school, to be informed on notifications from the Ministry of Education, to have experience of learning how to provide counselling on sexual orientation, and to be aware of effective resources.ConclusionIn Japan, it is expected that the support needs related to LGBTI will become more obvious in the future and efforts to create an environment in which it is easy for young people to consult with school nurses or other support figures are necessary.

There are societal variations as to how masturbation is regarded because some societies regard it as a religious or cultural bizarre, while others tolerate it on biological grounds. This study employed a descriptive survey design to explore adolescents' attitudes towards masturbation in selected senior high schools in the Cape Coast Metropolis of Ghana. The target population was formed by form two students in both schools. The total population for the second-year students in the boys' school was 509, while the second-year students in the girls' school were 496. Specifically, it was carried out in two single-sex Senior High Schools (SHS) in the Cape Coast Metropolis. Purposive sampling was employed to select single-sex schools in the metropolis, as they are noted for the practice of masturbation. Three hypotheses on masturbatory practices, attitudes toward masturbation and masturbatory practices and self-concept were formulated for the study. The results indicated that implicitly, both sexes’ masturbatory practices are similar. Both sexes also have similar attitude towards masturbation; as well as the masturbatory practices and self-concept in the Cape Coast Metropolis. Similarly, it was found that the attitude of both sexes towards masturbation was characterised by ambivalence, as they regarded it to be an irreligious and bad practice, yet, they covertly practised it. It was recommended that stakeholders should give adolescents thorough sexual education without expressing their prejudices concerning masturbation. They should be made to understand that sexual urges are a natural part of their development that must, however, be controlled for moral and spiritual reasons.

The Impact

Students’ level of academic engagement and achievement at any level of education is partly knit to the kind of relationships that exist between them and their teachers. The study examined the impact of teacher-student relationship on academic achievement of students in Senior High Schools in Winneba, Ghana. Eighty students were conveniently sampled from two strata whiles data was qualitatively collected using semi-structured interview guide and analyzed thematically. The study uses the four clusters of teacher-student relationship as a framework to discuss the types of relationships that exist in Ghanaian Senior High Schools. The study revealed that connectedness, dependent, peaceful and conflicting teacher-student relationships prevail in Senior High Schools. However, administrative restrictions, and certain attitudes of teachers and students impede the development of effective teacher-student relationship. Whereas positive relationships create environments that augment academic achievement, threatening relationships stifle academic achievement. Teachers should deliberately express concerns both about students’ academic and non-academic life, as this makes the latter feel accepted and motivated to improve academic work.

Innovative Curriculum

The “Alcohol and Drunkenness” program was originated in 1979–1984 and is designed to provide Israel high school students with the knowledge, values, and skills necessary to prevent excessive drinking. The purpose of this article is to describe the development of the “kibbutz version” of the program “Alcohol and Drunkenness” for the kibbutz movement. The preparation of the “kibbutz version” was supported by the Israeli Ministry of Education and Culture, the Department of Prevention and Treatment of Alcoholism in the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, the Israel Society for the Prevention of Alcoholism, and the Kibbutz Movement. The article describes the changes in values and norms in the kibbutzim in recent years, the detailed modification of the original curriculum in accordance with its new target population and educational setting, as well as, the program's new structure and subjects. Descriptions of the problems which were encountered during program modification, along with the creative responses which were taken to address such difficulties, are also included. The process of building the “kibbutz version” can serve as a model for adapting homogenizing educational prevention programs to special students' populations—specific groups having unique needs, characteristics, and abilities.

This paper is structured and aims, first, to describe the implementation of Islamic Religious Education in high schools in the Pangkalpinang City, and second, to reveal the implications of the implementation of Islamic religious education in an effort to anticipate the strengthening of religious radicalism in high school students in the Pangkal Pinang City. The results can be explained as follows: 1) the implementation of Islamic religious education in high schools in the Pangkalpinang City generally aims to increase knowledge, convey the teachings and rules of Islamic religion, change morals and foster students according to religious rules and improve practices of worship that have not been good. In terms of material, the books used to refer to books published by the Ministry of Education and Culture and some teachers also complete them with other published books. As for the material presented, the teacher occasionally links, for example, the theory of Islamic education with cultural traditions. 2) Implications of the implementation of Islamic religious education in terms of objectives namely how to minimize the strengthening of the understanding of religious radicalism by studying and applying the values ​​of togetherness, goodness, and general values ​​between religions or certain groups; overall the contents of the study references are from official sources. On the other hand, linking Islamic religious education materials with the culture of society is something that needs to be done to anticipate the spread of religious radicalism in schools; from the method side, there is a reduction in indoctrination patterns.
