The Relationship

Delinquent behaviour among school students is a great concern of governments and educational institutions. Although the authorities and civil society organisations have tried to control the growing trend of school violence, antisocial behaviour among students is significantly increasing. The low delinquency rate among school students in Shah Alam, a city closed to the Malaysian capital, inspired the researchers to explore the association between religiosity and delinquent behaviour. The objective of this study is to explore the relationship between religiosity and the delinquent behaviour of school students. This research employed a mixed method to collect the data. An instrument consisting of 101 questions prepared based on the Muslim Religiosity–Personality Inventory (MRPI) was administrated to measure the level of religiosity. A total of 107 secondary school students (58 boys, 49 girls) aged 13 to 14 years participated in the data collection. A semi-structured interview was used to collect the data from four school counsellors and discipline teachers to examine the relationship between religiosity and delinquency. This research found a moderate level of religiosity among students in Shah Alam while having an inverse relationship between religiosity and delinquency. The researchers, therefore, recommend religiosity as a successful mechanism to control delinquency among school students.

Oil Company

This qualitative phenomenological case study is based on the exploration and production activities of a major oil company in Nigeria, the companys experiences within its operating community, and the relationship marketing actions that the company may take in order to maintain general non-disruptive operational atmosphere in the area. Data was collected by interviewing 25 of the stakeholders within the community (Creswell, 2007) to determine their opinions on the general tension in the area as related to the communitys relationship with the major oil company. The interviewees were then asked for their opinions on possible steps that can be taken toward resolution of the problem of unrests in the area resulting from the operations of the major oil company. Specifically, in-depth semi-structured interview methodology was used (Moustakas, 1994). Each participant was asked the following three questions: What do you feel, in general, about your experience of the different unrests that have occurred between the particular major oil company and the host community in the recent past? What do you think can be done to resolve the problems that periodically lead to these unrests? Who is best suited to implement permanent solution to the problem(s)? The data collected was analyzed for themes, that is, clusters of meanings from the significant statement, sentences, or quotes, obtained from the interview transcriptions (Creswell, 2007). The researchers repeated lived experiences (Moustakas, 1994) of the problem of unrest in the area, was also relevant. Results showed that community leaders and some of the other stakeholders in the community desire a greater development of the relationship between the company and the community. They feel greater involvement of the community in the major oil companys projects undertaken for the community would help. Employment of more citizens of the community in technical areas such as engineering and geology are also desirable. In this connection, the company may consider some form of community tutoring or educational upgrade programs to bring high school students in the community up to speed in mathematics and other science subjects. Further, even though the research showed that the major oil company annually budgets substantial amount and carries out infrastructural projects for the community, the general feeling is that an increase in the level and scope would be advantageous for the companys long-term operations in the community.

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to find out the relationship between adolescents’ parental attachment and delinquent behaviour in the aspects of trust, communication and alienation. In this study, delinquent behaviour refers to the set of behaviours which is against any mainstream established rules or norms. It is believed that delinquent behaviour has the potential to cause school failure, impairments in socio-emotional development, peer rejection, and adult crime.   Methodology – Data were gathered from a sample of 300 secondary school students aged 15-18 years old in Selangor. These students were selected from the “hardcore schools” which was obtained from the so called "hardcore schools" listed by the School Division for serious disciplinary problems. Two instruments, namely surveys on the “Behaviour of Students” and “Parental Attachment”(PA) were utilized to collect the research data. The researchers employed correlational research design in this study.   Findings – Data showed that the highest delinquency among the adolescents was misbehaviour in school, followed by crime, vandalism, pornography, dishonesty and drugs. Results also revealed a negative linear relationship between parental attachment (r=-0.282,p=0.0001) and delinquent behaviour, implying that adolescents with better parental attachment had lower levels of delinquency. In addition, findings showed that adolescents trusted in their mothers (M=3.70,SD=0.63) more than they trusted in their fathers (M=3.51, SD=0.72) in relation to communication and alienation. It is suggested that close supportive parents and frequent communication between parents and their children serve to prevent adolescent delinquency.   Significance – This research is significant to parents, school, teachers, counselors and the community.

The current research aims to: - Knowing the level of violence that primary school students are exposed to, by their teachers. - Knowing the differences in the level of violence experienced by pupils of child-friendly primary schools and their peers in other public school - Knowing the relationship between academic achievement and the level of violence among primary school students. The research community includes child-friendly schools in Baghdad / Al-Rusafa, which are (107) and distributed among their general directorates of education. The research sample was randomly selected from the parents of the sixth grade students in a random way, and they numbered (80) guardians (students) by (40) males and (40) females)) divided equally by gender between child-friendly schools and regular schools. In the current research, the researcher adopted the (School Violence) Scale prepared by (Mohammed et al. 2014). To identify the level of school violence, the t-test was used for one sample, and it became clear that the difference between the two means is not statistically significant at the significance level (0.05). The t-test was used for two independent samples which indicates that there are no differences statistically significant for the school type variable. To identify the relationship between school violence and academic achievement among primary students, there was no statistical significance for the t-value of the correlation coefficient between school violence and academic achievement ‎.

The career development field is continually growing and changing to reflect the current career realities of individuals, changes in society, and in the world of work. The main aim of this chapter is to explore the relationship between modern and indigenous career counselling. The relatively under-researched indigenous career counselling approach can be blended with modern career counselling to help students handle their challenges specifically related to career choice. This strategy provides an interpretive tool trying to create a third space or bridging areas between the indigenous and modern career counselling approaches within the Tanzanian context. The study revealed that some school counsellors employ both indigenous and modern counselling to address career challenges among the secondary school students. The blending of indigenous and modern career counselling creates a balanced guidance and counselling service which relates students to the careers that are relevant to their context which promotes the development of community-based careers.
