By the time students become seniors in high school, the percentage who have managed to keep a positive level of self-esteem has dropped to 5 percent. Students encounter the equivalent of 60 days each year reprimanding, nagging and punishment. During 12 years of schooling a student is subject to 15,000 negative statements. That's three times the amount of positive statements received.

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.

In the past in the Korean educational system, every student should follow the 6-3-3 educational system; therefore, enrichment types of programs can be provided for the children under these circumstances. However, from 1996, 5-year-old children can be admitted to the first grade on the basis of the birth date. The 5-year-old youngsters have been admitted to the first grade and they were observed by their teacher for two months to decide whether they will remain in the first grade or go back to the kindergarten. In screening youngsters, there was no solid and careful procedure for the early admission, consequently there were quite a few drop outs who were not well adjusted in the first grade. If the children have not been carefully screened, there might be a maladjustment problem. For these reasons, many educators, parents, and teachers fear that early entrance to the first grade system is too stressful for preschoolers and deleterious to their healthy social, emotional, and academic adjustment. In fact, some of the early entrants went back to their kindergarten due to the maladjustment. However, there is no in-depth research on the drop-outs and their parents who suffered from psychological stress. Some research had been conducted to study these maladjustments (Jeon, 1998; Lee et al, 1998). However, these studies were basically done by using questionnaires and did not dig out the nature of the maladjustment problems. Therefore, the purpose of the research discussed in this article is to describe and investigate the social, emotional, and academic maladjustment for those early entrants to the first grade educational system in Korea who drop-out early. Exploratory and in-depth interviews were conducted to ascertain the maladjustment experiences for three 5-year-old children drop-outs.

In this interview, Maggie MacDonnell, recipient of the 2017 Global Teacher Prize, discusses how growing up near a First Nations reserve in Nova Scotia opened her eyes to inequalities between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada. She talks about the influence of Moses Coady, who instilled in her an appreciation for co-operative development, and T’hohahoken Michael Doxtater, an Indigenous scholar at McGill University, whose message, “No one is healed until everyone is healed,” she did not fully appreciate until she began working in the Inuit village of Salluit. She describes the life situation of the youth living in this kind of closed community where addiction and violence often become part of their everyday experience. Her interventions with this group of at-risk youth have helped decrease the school drop-out rate, improve students’ work and social skills, and raise awareness about suicide prevention. She concludes by giving advice to teachers who may be interested in working with students in remote communities.
