Teacher Referrals

Artificial cumulative folders were constructed, each purporting to reference a fourth grade boy with average ability but low academic achievement. The eight folders factorially varied three categories of information: presence or absence of comments concerning previous misbehavior, race (black or white), and parents’ educational level (some high school or postsecondary). A random sample of 104 central North Carolina elementary teachers examined the folders and recorded various recommendations regarding the kind of outside-class educational help that would be appropriate for a child. The most influential category information was comments concerning misbehavior. With negative behavioral comments, teachers judged a child more likely to need special educational help, more time in a resource room, and special forms of help. Although complicated by interactions, the general pattern was to expect more favorable educational progress and less need for special help for blacks and for children of less educated parents than for whites or children of well educated parents.

El trabajo describe las condiciones socioeconómicas familiares y aspectos educativos de jóvenes estudiantes de educación media superior. Desde un estudio cuantitativo, se aplicó un cuestionario de 52 reactivos, con el propósito de explorar aspectos de equipamiento y canasta básica; condiciones familiares, reprobación, rendimiento académico y la motivación hacia la escuela. Se caracteriza un plantel con una muestra aleatoria de 43 estudiantes de sexto semestre. Entre los resultados, se reportan los niveles de escolaridad del padre y de la madre; el 56% cuenta con computadora y el 86% con internet; el 42% trabaja y obtiene un ingreso menor al salario mínimo. Entre las conclusiones, se observó que la reprobación representa el riesgo de abandono escolar. Abstract This paper describes socioeconomic conditions in families and educational aspects of young people in high school. From a quantitative study, a questionnaire consisting of 52 test items was applied with the aim of exploring aspects of equipment and the basic food basket, family situations, grade failure, academic performance, and motivation towards school. A high school was characterized with a sample where 43 students in sixth semester were randomly sampled. Among the results obtained, 56% of students have a computer and 86% have internet; 42% work and perceive an income inferior to the established minimum wage; and a report of their mother's or father's educational level was required. Among the findings, we observed that failure to achieve a passing grade represented a risk of dropout.

Introduction: The most common valvular heart disease is mitral stenosis. Mitral stenosis is an abnormality of the heart valve which causes reduced blood flow from the left atria to the left ventricle due to narrowing of mitral valve orifice during its opening motion. If the condition continues, it will result in complications. The most common complications are pulmonary hypertension, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, and stroke. Appropriate treatment for mitral stenosis may produce more favorable prognosis in these patients. Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe the profile of patients with mitral stenosis in Department of Cardiology and Vascular Medicine, Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya from January 2015 to December 2017. It is expected that mitral stenosis can be detected earlier, thus the appropriate treatment can be administered promptly and further complications can be prevented. Methods: This study was a descriptive retrospective study with cross-sectional approach and accidental sampling method obtained from the inpatients medical records of patients diagnosed with mitral stenosis from echocardiography in Department of Cardiology and Vascular Medicine Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya from January 2015 to December 2017. The variables were age, gender, disease severity, and the patient’s educational background. The data was processed using Microsoft Excel and IBM SPSS version 20. Results:  This study obtained 41 patients who met the inclusion criteria, then the patients were categorized according to their age, gender, disease severity, and educational background. The results of the study showed that the subjects were dominated by those of productive age at 30-39 years old (39%), the most prevalent gender was female (85.4%), severe disease severity (85.4%), and educational level was from high school (85.4%). Conclusion: The majority of the patients with mitral stenosis were from productive age, female, with severe disease severity, and educational background from middle educational level (high school).

This article aims to describe the students' learning creativity profile reviewed from school's accreditation status. The method in this study was a survey method by distributing a questionnaire of students’ learning creativity through google form. Participants in the study were grade VIII students in public schools with National Standard School accredited status, schools with A accredited State Junior High School (JHS), and B accredited State Junior High School (JHS). Based on the results of data processing, there was a significant average difference in learning creativity on indicators the ability to deal with learning problems between public schools with National Standard School accredited status and schools with A accredited State JHS. The average ability to deal with learning problems is also significantly different between schools with A accredited State JHS, and B accredited State JHS. A significant difference in average is also shown in the indicators of interest in learning creations and indicators of the ability to develop in learning between public schools with National Standard School accredited status and schools with A accredited State JHS. The results of this study can be used as empirical data for research on guidance and counseling programs to develop students' creativity in schools.Keywords: Profile, learning creativity,  student

During the 1980s, North Carolina was a major outpost for that era’s college-radio alternative music. And Ground Zero was Reynolds High School in Winston-Salem, which Mitch Easter and other major players attended. Easter and his friends Chris Stamey had been making recordings since childhood, developing studio smarts they applied to music. Working out of a garage studio in his parents’ home, Easter became one of the key producers of the decade, especially for his work with R.E.M.

Objectives Vascular access is a lifeline for the patients who are in need of long-term hemodialysis. Native arteriovenous fistula is the most intensively preferred vascular access method owing to its longevity and convenience of use. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine whether there might be a relationship between hemodialysis patients’ educational levels and arteriovenous fistula patency. Methods A total of 349 patients who were attending in a chronic hemodialysis program between June 2018 and September 2018 at Bursa Uludağ University, Faculty of Medicine Dialysis Unit and in a private dialysis center in İstanbul were included in this study. The patients were grouped into two: those who have had arteriovenous fistula primary failure at least once and those who have never had arteriovenous fistula primary failure. Educational levels of the patients were classified according to Turkish National Education system (illiterate, primary school graduate, secondary school graduate, high school graduate, and university graduate). Mann–Whitney U and Chi-square tests were performed for statistical analyses. Risk factors were determined by applying backward binary logistic regression analysis. Results A total of 349 patients, 161 (46.1%) females and 188 (53.9%) males, were examined retrospectively. The median age of the patients was 64 years (range: 18–90 years). Educational level comparison revealed statistically significant difference in terms of fistula patency ( p = 0.016). In particular, fistula patency was significantly lower in illiterate, primary, secondary, and high school graduates in comparison with university graduates ( p = 0.001, p = 0.015, p = 0.003, and p = 0.018, respectively). When each group of educational level was analyzed separately in terms of fistula patency, it was observed that the higher the educational level was, the lower arteriovenous fistula primary failure rates were. Conclusions In this study, we observed a lower rate of fistula patency in patients with a low level of education. Hence, we are of the opinion that the trainings delivered on arteriovenous fistula care in dialysis centers are required to be shaped in accordance with educational levels of patients.
