It is clear that during the last few decades, ICT use has considerably increased in education, and it has intensified over the last year as a consequence of an online approach because of the health emergency caused by COVID-19. Nevertheless, despite of the efforts made by schools for keeping updated on the technological equipment and the multiple teacher training processes on this subject, results has not been as expected. This is demonstrated by the higher grade-failure and school drop-out. In this regard, this work aims to propose a theoretical framework to guide characterization and analysis processes on the use of ICT in education. The above, form Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory of human learning, which favors the social construction of learning, but also, from Edgar Morán’s complex thought theory, who prioritizes pertinent thought for social problem solving. And, finally, from online education psychology, where Cesar Coll and Carles Monereo stresses the importance of building working environments that promotes meaningful learning. This work aims to offer a reference framework for the case study, for implementation of improvement processes in favor of the students.

Entre los avances espectaculares que a nivel social y económico se reportan en los últimos años con la apertura de la Revolución Ciudadana en el Ecuador, cabe destacar el incremento de las posibilidades de acceso a las universidades de las clases menos favorecidas; pero paradójicamente ha surgido de manera asociada otro de los grandes males que afecta a la institución  universitaria,  que resulta el  alto  porcentaje de estudiantes  que abandonan  los estudios antes de finalizarlos, con un impacto económico negativo para los esfuerzos que realiza el estado en este sentido. En el trabajo se presenta un análisis teórico vinculado con los problemas del abandono de los estudios universitarios en el mundo, en  Latinoamérica  y especialmente en la Universidad Técnica de Manabí, donde se propone un caso de estudio con el objetivo de profundizar en la problemática, develar sus causas y proponer un conjunto de medidas encaminadas a reducir las consecuencias de esa problemática social.  Palabras   claves:   Abandono   de   estudios   universitarios,   inclusión   social,   resiliencia universitaria  Abandono estudiantil en universidades ecuatorianas www.itsup.edu.ec/myjournal     Analysis of student dropout in Ecuadorian Universities: Case Study, Technical University of Manabí  Abstract  There have been remarkable improvements in the social and economic levels of the state in recent years with the opening of the Citizens' Revolution in Ecuador. Among them, it is taken into account the possibilities of increasing the access of the lower classes to the universities. Absurdly there has appeared some troubles       affecting the university. These difficulties consists of  the highest percentage of students who drop out the studies  before  ending  each college career, and  resulting in  a negative economic impact on the efforts of the state in this regard. The work illustrates a theoretical analysis of the problems linked to the learners’ desertion of university studies in the world, especially in Latin America and particularly in the Technical University of Manabi in Ecuador, where a case study is proposed with the aim of deepening the problem presented, with the main goal of revealing its causes and to propose a set of measures to reduce the consequences of this social problem as well   Keywords: Retention, social inclusion, university resilience

The City

This paper is a case study of a small city undergoing a process of demographic and ethnic change in community, empowerment, and political participation. For the dominant ethnic group these changes are threatening, but resisting the Latino community that they fear tends to set in motion the very conditions that exacerbate the growing prevalence of poverty and the attendant problems of gangs, domestic violence, and school drop-out rates. For the Latino community the challenge to such resistance is through community organizing and bringing pressure upon the city for inclusion in the political structure to influence policy regarding these problems.

Key Concepts

Until the early 1970's, research into attrition among postsecondary students was largely aimed at establishing correlations between the characteristics the students brought with them to an institution and dropping out. Virtually all of this research was unguided by any explicit theoretical framework. With the work of Spady (1970; 1971), and that of Tinto (1975), a model was provided which became the theoretical foundation for most subsequent research into the problem. The model was based fundamentally on part of Durkheim's work on suicide, keying on the concept of integration. According to the model, those students who were integrated into the social and academic life of the institution were less likely to drop out, and the focus shifted to include not only "background" factors, but also the experiences of students after they were admitted to the institution. While creating the illusion of offering a clear theoretical framework, the key concepts of social and academic integration are only very loosely connected with the original Durkheimian idea. It is contended here that a firmer foundation for the development of an appropriate theoretical framework is more likely to arise out of a careful attempt to understand the actions of students in terms of the meanings things in their world have for them. Methodological techniques appropriate to this task are advocated, without denying the importance of many significant clues to be found in much of the current and past research in the field.

AbstractThe current study addresses the gender roles and the stereotypes produced in the context of Cypriot society, through their representations on postage stamps produced by the Republic of Cyprus from 1960 to 2013. The theoretical framework employed derives from relevant theories on social roles’ divisions based on gender, as well as the way these roles and stereotypes are expressed through images. The corpus has been analyzed by means of content analysis and semiotic analysis was employed in order to explore how the theoretical framework complies with selected stamps from the content analysis in respect of non-verbal signs. According to the findings, the role of women on stamp representations seems to be secondary and tied with emotional qualities, while men seem to hold a more prominent position in the society. This fact is reflected both on the quantity of stamps representing each gender in the respective thematic categories, as well as, on the selected stamps studied with semiotic analysis. Nonetheless, there have been strong indications that the social roles of genders and therefore stereotypes have started changing as the society progresses through the years. This process however, does not seem apparent on the imagery used for the stamps of the Republic of Cyprus.

Drug abuse has many adverse effects such as disease transmissions and social dysfunction. Social rehabilitation by therapeutic community method may overcome addictions to addictive substances and restore the social function for drug users. The problem is a post-rehabilitation relapse. Objective to determine the effectiveness of relapse prevention with the TC method carried out by PSPP Galih Pakuan Bogor. It is case study research, conducted by in-depth interviews with management, social workers, and clients, as well as observations and analysis of secondary data. Drop-out rates at PSPP Galih Pakuan reached 44.8% in 2017, with relapse rate 30%. In addition, many studies stated that the TC method was relatively more effective than other methods for social rehabilitation in reducing anti-social behavior due to drug abuse. The challenge in TC method is a high drop-out rate. TC method can improve the social functioning of drug users by fostering self-confi dence, and learning emotional and spiritual management.  Abstrak Penyalahgunaan napza memiliki dampak buruk yaitu penularan penyakit dan ketidak berfungsian sosial akibat kecanduan napza. Rehabilitasi sosial dengan metode therapeutic community dianggap dapat membantu mengatasi kecanduan pada zat adiktif dan mengembalikan peran dan fungsi sosial para penyalahguna napza. Kendalanya adalah banyak penyalahguna napza mengalami relapse pasca rehabilitasi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui efektivitas pencegahan relapse dengan metode TC yang dilakukan oleh PSPP Galih Pakuan Bogor. Penelitian ini merupakan studi kasus dengan penyajian secara deskriptif analitis, dilakukan dengan wawancara mendalam kepada manajemen panti, Pekerja Sosial, dan klien, serta melakukan observasi dan analisis data sekunder. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa tingkat drop out rehabilitasi sosial di PSPP Galih Pakuan mencapai 44,8% pada tahun 2017, sedangkan tingkat relapse diperkirakan mencapai 30% dari klien yang lulus rehabilitasi. Di sisi lain, berbagai penelitian menyebutkan bahwa metode TC merupakan metode yang relatif lebih efektif dibanding metode rehabilitasi sosial lain dalam mengurangi penyalahgunaan napza dan perilaku anti sosial akibat penyalahgunaan napza.

Why have charter schools been embraced as an urban educational solution in many metropolitan areas, but not in others? I develop a theoretical framework whereby the “educational ecosystem” of metropolitan areas—formed through the social geography of school district boundaries and school integration plans—supplement existing perspectives, thereby aiding in the understanding of policy adoption variability. I provide an initial test to the theoretical framework through a case study of a metropolitan hub that continues to have no charter schools: Louisville, Kentucky. I demonstrate how Louisville’s particular urban educational ecosystem, which diverges from the overall national pattern of racially and socioeconomically isolated urban systems, transformed the perceptions of the urban district and shaped the battles over an otherwise nationally popular school reform.

Generally, the school drop-out rate of marginal children is high. However, some of them have high persistence and can complete their education. This research aims to describe the factors that play a crucial role in forming student persistence and analyze efforts and challenges encountered by Pusat Kegiatan Anak (PKA/Children’s Activity Center) “Sahabat Anak” in maintaining and increasing their students' persistence. This study used a qualitative approach with descriptive research. Data collection techniques employed are in-depth interviews and documentary studies involving four school alumni who have continued their education to formal schools, two teachers, and two education staff of PKA “Sahabat Anak” Non-formal School. This study finds that social support from parents and closest people is a very significant factor in building the persistence of students of  PKA “Sahabat Anak” Non-formal School. The School makes efforts to build children's persistence by conducting quarterly evaluations, parental training, and a home visit. However, influences from the social environment become a big challenge for these efforts. Social workers shall play a key role in addressing these issues.

Core Components

Preventing childhood and adolescent behavioral health problems such as substance use, delinquency, violence, school drop-out, and mental health problems can reduce the social and financial costs that can occur following these behaviors. Using a public health approach, prevention scientists from diverse fields have created and tested a variety of interventions to reduce the risk factors and increase the protective factors related to these problems. A growing number of these interventions have been demonstrated as effective—that is, they prevent the onset and/or reduce the frequency of multiple behavioral health problems. However, these evidence-based interventions (EBIs) are not widely used by community-based organizations. This chapter discusses how community-based prevention systems, particularly the Communities That Care (CTC) system, can help build the capacity of local communities to implement EBIs. The core components and effectiveness of CTC are reviewed and compared to other community-based prevention systems.
