The aim of the study is to analyse Riga ethnic minority secondary school students' views about their generation, highlighting how their generation differs from the previous ones, and how the students see their relationships, their future – where they see difficulties and where they see opportunities. This is a qualitative study, performing a narrative thematic analysis of the essays of students. The data are qualitatively analysed within a thematic group. Overall, this study presents the description of Z-generation already mentioned in previous studies, as well as new nuances that require further research.

Stem Career

This article explores why some Flemish secondary school students’ study choices are content-wise not in line with their career aspirations and, to some extent, follow gender and ethnic patterns. We use 83 semi-structured interviews, conducted with students in academic and technical tracks in three Flemish secondary schools. Compared to female pupils, male pupils are more likely to enrol in lower status tracks whose curricular substance prepares them for a STEM career (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics). Ethnic majority female pupils seem to adjust their study choices better to their aspirations, or the other way round. However, especially when changing track or field of study, ethnic majority female pupils are more likely to adapt their aspirations consistent with gender norms. While ethnic minority female pupils are more likely than ethnic majority female pupils to have STEM aspirations, their goals do not always seem to correspond with the study choices they have made. Additionally, perceived discrimination and family aspirations further impact both study choices and aspirations of ethnic minority pupils. Gendered study recommendations and choices, favouring male pupils in STEM careers, especially make that female pupils make study choices that are in terms of curriculum not always in line with their aspirations.

Food And Nutrition

Abstract Background: Food and nutrition literacy (FANLit) has been proposed to promote healthy diet behaviour and is believed to decrease the prevalence of overweight, obesity and chronic disease. However, the perspective of junior secondary school students, aged 12-15 years and stakeholders on FANLit is not well-defined. This study aims to explore the definition and the components of FANLit.Methods: This qualitative study were carried out in Health region 2 includes Phitsanulok, Sukhothai, Tak, Uttradit and Pethchboon province. 49 participants were recruited from national and regional levels of Thailand. Data were collected by in-depth interview and focus group discussion using semi-structured questionnaire. Interview data were transcribed verbatim and analysed using thematic analysis.Results: FANLit is defined as an individual’s level of knowledge and skills (fundamental, interactive and critical) that relates to food and nutrition to make appropriate food selection and nutrients. Four themes of FANLit were identified as follows: 1) food and nutrition knowledge (Subthemes: food knowledge, food understanding, nutrition knowledge, and nutrition understanding), 2) functional food and nutrition literacy (Subthemes: accessing to food and nutrition information, food selection, food preparation, daily food and nutrition planning and management), 3) interactive food and nutrition literacy (Subthemes: communication with others, sharing and discussion), and 4) critical food and nutrition literacy (Subthemes: information used in decision making, healthy food selection, effective budgeting.Conclusions: The results provide beneficial information regarding FANLit definition which is the initial stage to develop the assessing instrument and the intervention to improve FANlit in the adolescent group.

Using individual interviews, this study investigated perceptions of classroom misbehaviors among secondary school students in Hong Kong(N=18). Nineteen categories of classroom misbehaviors were identified, with talking out of turn, disrespecting teacher, and doing something in private being most frequently mentioned. Findings revealed that students tended to perceive misbehaviors as those actions inappropriate in the classroom settings and even disrupting teachers' teaching and other students' learning. Among various misbehaviors, talking out of turn and disrespecting teacher were seen as the most disruptive and unacceptable. These misbehaviors were unacceptable because they disturbed teaching and learning, and violated the values of respect, conformity, and obedience in the teacher-student relationship within the classroom. The frequency and intensity of misbehaviors would escalate if students found it fun, no punishment for such misbehaviors, or teachers were not authoritative enough in controlling the situations. Implications for further research and classroom management are discussed.

IntroductionParamedic practice has evolved significantly with a greater emphasis now being placed on paramedics to perform educator type roles to junior paramedics, patients and the wider community. Paramedic training and education should therefore include preparing students for this important role. The Pathway to Paramedicine Program used a peer assisted learning (PAL) model to expose paramedic students to the educator/mentor role. The aim of this study was to evaluate the student paramedic’s perspectives of the Pathway to Paramedicine Program.MethodsFourteen paramedic students enrolled in either Monash University’s Bachelor of Emergency Health (Paramedic) degree or the Bachelor of Nursing/Emergency Health (Paramedic) degree were the subjects of this pilot study. The paramedic students acted as mentors/educators to secondary school students, teaching them theory and practical skills common to paramedic practice during weekly tutorials. The Pathway to Paramedicine Evaluation (PPE) survey was used to determine the participant’s perspectives at the completion of the program.ResultsAll 12 Likert scale questions on the PPE achieve a median score of 4 or higher with four items achieving a maximum median of 5 (strongly agree). A thematic analysis of the free text questions found that the participants enjoyed teaching and this helped to reinforce their own knowledge and skills.ConclusionsThis pilot study showed that the paramedic student’s had an overwhelmingly positive perspective of The Pathway to Paramedic Program and would happily recommend it to others.
