Less Zainichi youth are opting for Chosŏn (i.e. pro-DPRK) schools, partially because of integration into Japanese society and the wider career options that Japanese public education offers. Nevertheless, Chosŏn schools continue to provide universal education in Korean to nurture “proud and proper Koreans.” To this end, Korean schools aim to connect the students to their “homeland”: The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Participant observation of school trips to the DPRK reveals what the “homeland” means to the students and how it relates to the schools’ educational goal. Vis-à-vis the rampant xenophobia in Japan, the schools’ practices carry an urgency that cannot be ignored.

This chapter explores the value of cultural capital in the parental involvement of African American parents of disabled high school students. The traditional approach of parental involvement is widely implemented across public education. The framework for parental involvement is outdated and racially one-sided, which causes the contributions of African American parents to be devalued by their child's school. This chapter focuses on a qualitative study of five African American mothers of disabled high school students and how they engage with their children's public education. The participants provide narrative examples of their cultural capital and they have used it to help benefit their child's education. This implies the need to revise the image of parental involvement to one that is a more diverse inclusionary model, which will help schools better support the academic achievement of students from culturally and linguistically diverse families.

The lack of readily available sources of potable water is major problem in many parts of the world. This project engaged high school (HS) students in authentic and meaningful science and engineering activities to teach them about the lack and poor quality of potable water in many regions and how they can be addressed through the use of point of use (POU) treatments, such as biosand filters (BSFs). The HS students’ activities paralleled those of USF students, including research question development and BSF design, construction, operation, and monitoring. An ethnographic approach was utilized by incorporating participant observation, collection and review of artifacts, and interviews. It was found that the project’s focus on the need to provide potable water in the developing world provided authenticity and meaningfulness to the HS students, which encouraged their participation in activities and the learning of science and engineering practices. The HS students reported an awareness of the differences between this project and their regular science classes. The project had a positive impact on their perceptions of themselves as scientists and their interest in STEM careers. The HS students’ results were useful to the university-based research. In addition, the USF students gained teaching experience while investigating research questions in a low-stakes environment.

Latina/o high school students face many challenges in school, and much current research on ethnicity and education likewise focuses on the downsides of being an ethnic minority in the U.S. educational system. Social scientists attribute the educational gaps associated with ethnic minority status to factors such as fewer family resources, discrimination, teacher-student mismatch, English learner status, and social isolation at school. This article shifts attention to the ways in which ethnic minority status can bolster educational attainment and highlights the significance of co-ethnic physical spaces or “enclaves” in majority white high schools. Data include 11 interviews with teachers and administrators at a public high school in the Southeast, supplemented with 100 hours of classroom participant observation and over 100 narratives written by students. Student perceptions are tapped through analysis of an open-ended essay writing exercise on what it means to be a Latina/o in the United States, completed by the Latina/o students enrolled in four Spanish language–only courses during three terms in 2013–2014. The observation, interview, and essay-based data indicate that Latino/a high school students benefit from school ethnic enclaves where they are free to draw on the support of co-ethnic peers and culturally flexible teachers. These themes emerge in the interviews with teachers and are supported by student comments in a writing exercise. School ethnic enclaves provide both academic and social support, help foster a positive ethnic self-image, and ultimately link ethnic minority status and heritage to success despite the significant—and more often studied—educational challenges faced by Latina/o high school students.

Although Japan has progressed rapidly in the aspects of technology and science, yet its cultural values remain to be maintained. One of the cultural values that still exist until now is the expression of greeting gestured which is called ojigi.  Nevertheless it is questionable as the times to what extent the present generation signify the culture of ojigi in their daily lives. Do they still practice ojigi and understand the meaning? To answer this question, two methods used in collecting data were library research and questionnaire. It was conducted directly in Japan to high school students and other youth. Based on the results of data analysis it is found that (1) Since the beginning ojigi is a greeting culture that has a great significance and practiced faithfully in the Japanese life. It has changed in Japanese society however as the times. (2) based on a questionnaire survey of young Japanese, it has indeed changed to the culture of ojigi. Some people have replaced it by shaking hands which is a western culture. Some even do not practice ojigi anymore.

RESUMO: A Robótica tem sido utilizada em algumas pesquisas como recurso tecnológico inovador voltado para a Educação, de forma que a Robótica Livre vem contribuindo por ser mais acessível e permitir que as escolas possam trabalhar com essa tecnologia a partir da reutilização de materiais, outros de baixo custo e softwares livres. A partir dos conceitos defendidos pela Robótica Livre, foi desenvolvido por três estudantes do ensino médio/técnico em informática de uma escola pública, com a colaboração de uma discente da Universidade Federal da Paraíba, um teclado musical elétrico com o objetivo de proporcionar atividades educativas mais criativas e interativas, com o intuito de os alunos aprenderem mais alguns conhecimentos de Física e Programação relacionados ao protótipo. A partir do uso da observação participante como instrumento de pesquisa, verificou-se que esse tipo de prática pedagógica utilizando a Robótica como recurso favorece o ensino de tais matérias, além de proporcionar uma reflexão dos estudantes em relação à conscientização sobre o consumismo e o descarte de materiais. Dessa forma, a Robótica pode ser uma boa ferramenta inovadora a ser utilizada nas escolas, assim como pode mudar a postura dos estudantes como cidadãos. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: robótica livre; ensino de física; programação; tecnologia; Arduino.   ABSTRACT: Robotics has been used in some researches as an innovative technological resource for Education, so that Free Robotics has been contributing to be more accessible and allow schools to work with this technology from the reuse of materials, low cost materials and free software. From the concepts defended by the Free Robotics, an electric musical keyboard was developed with the aim of providing more creative and interactive educational activities, so the students could acquire some more knowledge of Physics and Programming related to the prototype. This equipment has been developed by three high school students in public school, with the collaboration of a student of the Federal University of Paraíba - Brazil. From the use of participant observation as a research tool, it was verified that this type of pedagogical practice using Robotics as a resource favors the teaching of such subjects, in addition to providing a reflection of the students in relation to the awareness about consumerism and discarding of materials. In this way, Robotics can be a good innovative tool to be used in schools, as well as changing the posture of students as citizens.
