Adolescent character education is extremely important. Promiscuity, rampant rates of aggression against children and youth, robberies against peers, juvenile theft, cheating behaviors, substance addiction, pornography, and the misuse of others' property have all been global issues that have yet to be fully addressed. The article explains the philosophy of adolescent character education, the function of adolescent character education, the urgency of adolescent character education, the factors that affect character education, and the enhancement of adolescent character education for adolescent promiscuity. Attitudes, emotions, will, values, and behaviors are all ingredients in the definition of character education for teenagers.

The paper reviews approaches to the development of talents and creativity using surveys communicated in the 1975-2005 period at world, European and regional scientific conferences on gifted children and youth. Methods of studying and treating the gifted over the past three decades were analyzed on the basis of data available in records, proceedings of papers and other publications of the mentioned conferences as well as of personal findings of the present paper?s authors who participated in some of those conferences. In addition to identifying the subjects that captured attention of researchers and practitioners in a certain period of time, an attempt was made to describe trends in studying them and those likely ones for future work. The results indicate that the most frequent subjects under study were problems facing conception and definition of giftedness, talents and creativity, instruments for identifying gifted individuals, and manners of providing adequate education for them. Over time there was an increase in the number of studies related to identifying specific personality traits of a gifted individual and his environment, critical for his development and achievement. It is noticeable that interest in gifted children and youth is growing all the time, involving not only researchers and teachers but parents, the gifted themselves and other important social groups and institutions. It is concluded that encouraging talents and creativity in youth is a challenge to contemporary world, which will determine its future.

Character education is a must for countries that want to make their citizens have good attitudes and behaviors. The goal to be achieved in Community Service activities is to make students aware of the need to have and implement attitudes that have character. In the school environment, the teacher's role is to educate the character of students. Thus, community service activities want to make students aware and want to instill and develop character attitudes through socialization. Socialization is given to provide direct literacy of character education to students. Socialization is filled with questions and answers so that students who are not familiar with matters relating to character can immediately ask the implementation team.

"Physically and politically powerless, children have always gotten the short end of the stick. In earlier times, the surplus, especially females, were legally and deliberately killed; in the Middle Ages and until recently children were chattels; in Dickensian England they starved in workhouses or were exploited as beggars a la Oliver Twist...." Louise Raggio, Conference Participant The building Frank Lloyd Wright called Wingspread served as the setting for a discussion concerning the relationship of the health of the young to their legal needs and the role of the pediatrician in these regards. Men and women from medicine, the law, and social work shared their points of view, seeking a firm definition of advocacy for children, attempting to highlight some manageable priorities among the legal needs so that pediatricians might move to a partnership with others in the community which might facilitate access to a better life for all children and youth.

This article aims to compare the prevalence of active transportation among children and adolescents from 49 countries at different levels of development. The data was extracted from the Report Cards on Physical Activity for Children and Youth from the 49 countries that participated in the Global Matrix 3.0 initiative. Descriptive statistics and a latent profile analysis with active transportation, Human Development Index and Gini index as latent variables were conducted. The global average grade was a “C”, indicating that countries are succeeding with about half of children and youth (47–53%). There is wide variability in the prevalence and in the definition of active transportation globally. Three different profiles of countries were identified based on active transportation grades, Human Development Index (HDI) and income inequalities. The first profile grouped very high HDI countries with low prevalence of active transport and low inequalities. The second profile grouped low and middle HDI countries with high prevalence of active transportation and higher inequalities. And the third profile was characterized by the relatively high prevalence of active transportation and more variability in the socioeconomic variables. Promising policies from countries under each profile were identified. A unified definition of active transportation and contextualized methods for its assessment are needed to advance in surveillance and practice.

This article examines the existence of the crabs in the barrel syndrome (CBS) in organizational settings, as well as the affiliated intragroup, intergroup, and organizational dynamics. CBS is a metaphoric representation that describes the mentality and behaviors of in-group members that violate prescribed social norms of helping and support. Two qualitative studies are juxtaposed to capture the essence of CBS and associated socially complex issues that thrive in hypercompetitive and politicized work environments, resulting in negative collective and individual outcomes. This study provides a working definition of CBS and encourages further exploration of the phenomenon.

Corruption is one of the global issues impeding systems effectiveness which has permeated the education system in Africa and Nigeria in particular. This study examined corruption in public secondary schools with the purpose of indenting the forms of corruption prevalent, the perpetrators of corruption, the effects of corruption and the administrative strategies for managing corruption in schools. Ex-post facto research design was employed in this qualitative  research. The perceptions of 1160 respondents made up of students, teachers and principals were sought by the use of questionnaire.  Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed in analysis of data. The results revealed that several forms of corruption were prevalent in secondary schools in the state. The perpetrators of corruption were identified. The effects of corruption showed that it lowers the quality of teaching and learning, lowers the quality of students learning outcomes and dents the public image of the institutions. The study indentified several administrative strategies for curbing corruption in secondary schools as ensuring that teachers are paid good salary commensurate with the standard of living in the society, formation of anti-corruption clubs, proper value re-orientation, character education and by check mating the movement of teachers during school hours. In conclusion, the study recommends that to increase the awareness of students and staff, principals should encourage the formation of anti-corruption clubs and encourage debates and essay writings on corruption related topics in order to help sensitize staff and students about corruption and the evils associated with it.

This study focuses on two discussions. First, to describe the application of character education at SMA Negeri 2 Lhokseumawe. Second, to describe the obstacles in the application of character education so that it is not effective in overcoming student deviant behavior. By using a qualitative approach, this study comes to an understanding that the implementation of character education in SMA Negeri 2 Lhokseumawe is carried out through several strategies, including: a). providing outreach to teachers; b). preparation of syllabus and lesson plans based on character education; c). integrating and applying values in the teaching and learning process in the classroom; d) creating a school culture; e) habituation; and f) teacher exemplary. The implementation of character education in order to reduce students' deviant behavior has not been optimal because it faces a number of obstacles, such as a) minimal family contribution; b) inconsistency of values and norms at school and outside school; and c) teachers' difficulties in adapting to curriculum changes. In addition, the definition of deviant behavior and social dysfunction has so far only relied on "blaming deviant individual behavior", but ignores problems at the school structure level that can lead students to deviant behavior and anomie states. ABSTRAKStudi ini berfokus pada dua hal. Pertama melihat penerapan pendidikan karakter di SMA Negeri 2 Lhokseumawe. Kedua, menggambarkan hambatan dalam penerapan pendidikan karakter sehingga tidak efektif dalam mengatasi perilaku menyimpang siswa. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, studi ini sampai pada pemahaman bahwa penerapan pendidikan karakter di SMA Negeri 2 Lhokseumawe dilakukan melalui beberapa strategi, diantaranya: a). pemberian sosialisasi kepada guru; b). penyusunan Silabus dan RPP yang berbasis pendidikan karakter; c). pengintegrasian dan penerapan nilai-nilai dalam proses belajar mengajar di kelas; d) penciptaan budaya sekolah; e) pembiasaan; dan f) keteladanan guru. Penerapan pendidikan karakter dalam rangka mengurangi perilaku menyimpang siswa belum berjalan optimal karena menghadapi sejumlah kendala, seperti a) minimnya kontribusi keluarga; b) inkonsistensi nilai dan norma di sekolah dan di luar sekolah; dan c) kesulitan guru beradaptasi dengan perubahan kurikulum. Selain itu, pendefinisian perilaku menyimpang dan disfungsi sosial selama ini hanya bertumpu pada “menyalahkan perilaku individu yang menyimpang”, tetapi mengabaikan masalah pada level struktur sekolah yang dapat mendorong siswa ke arah perilaku menyimpang dan keadaan anomie.

Definition Of

This chapter discusses the definition of attitudes as evaluations, with beliefs, intentions, goals, and behaviors as the psychological building blocks of attitude-relevant processes. These considerations can take place at both the specific level of a single behavior (e.g., smoking) or at the general level of a pattern of behaviors (e.g., multiple behaviors). Classic and contemporary attitude scholarship have provided a theoretical understanding of prediction and change in behavior at both the specific and broad levels of analysis. Personality instruments have contributed to identifying trait associations with specific attitude processes, including structure, functions, and bases, as well as attitude and belief change. Future personality research, however, would benefit from adopting attitude models that clearly distinguish psychological building blocks rather than confound feelings, thoughts, and behaviors as being equivalent or equally close to behavior end points.
