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.

AbstractFrom Joachim Starbatty’s point of view the answer of many politicians to today’s economic crisis is deficit spending and protectionism. He declares that these are typical keynesian tools - which are - even in Keynes’ theory - only suitable in special circumstances and argues that the actual economic crisis is no Keynesian crisis. The actual lack of demand was predominantly caused by a problematic US monetary policy, not by a lack of marginal efficiency of capital. Keynesian tools cannot solve the crisis and risk to even worsen the situation in different ways.Karen Horn represents the opinion that the global financial and economic crisis has brought about a shift in the relative importance of government and market as well in terms of scope as in popularity. She says: The dichotomy may however seem overstated: both politics and the market are no more than evolved arenas for the social interaction of fallible humans. The crisis just demonstrates the natural failures and limitations of both more clearly than ever. But this is precisely the reason why social processes should become freer discovery procedures allowing for a dynamic generation of new knowledge. The precautionary principle recommends more active government focus on the rule level and clear limits of state action elsewhere in order to prevent a ratchet effect of intervention. In politics, a slippery slope leads directly from pragmatism to constructivism.Gustav Horn addresses the question if and under what conditions economic policy should intervene with markets during an economic crisis. He explains that two different forms of interventions are distinguished: A macroeconomic and microeconomic intervention. Their mutual impact is discussed and a theoretical macroeconomic approach of de Grauwe is used to derive a theoretical foundation. The conclusion is that at a time of crisis both macroeconomic interventions as well as microeconomic interventions that serve to stabilize production of a public good are appropriate. Not appropriate is a state intervention for purely microeconomic reasons.

The aim of the research was to test the hierarchical model of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation (HMIEM) as a model for understanding the process of dropping out of sports in adolescence. The task oriented motivational climate created by a coach was defined as the social factor, whereas the satisfaction of need for competence and enjoyment were the psychological mediators of amotivation. Cognitive outcome was defined as the intention to drop out of sports. The sample consisted of 383 respondents, 49.9% boys and 50.1% girls from Serbia, average age 13.74 years, who actively played volleyball, basketball, and handball. Results of the structural modelling equation analysis confirmed that the HMIEM represented a good model for understanding the process of dropping out, and that it explained 18.9% of the intention to drop out of sports in adolescence. Athletes who perceive their coach’s behaviour as non-supportive, rigid, primarily focused on achievement, will have sense of incompetence and will lack enjoyment while doing sport. Unsatisfied needs then lead to the development of amotivation – the lack of reasons to do sports, and to the intention to drop out of sports. These results represent a further step towards creating educational programmes for youth sport that might prevent dropping out of sport in adolescence.

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.

Abstract:Business ethics serves the important social function of integrating business and society, by promoting the legitimacy of business operations, through critical reflection. Although the social function of business ethics is implicit in leading business ethics foundation theories, it has never been presented in a systematic way. This article sets out to fill this theoretical lacuna, and to explore the theoretical potentials of a functional approach to business ethics. Key concepts from Parsonian functionalistic sociology are applied to establish the social integrative function of business ethics. This produces a theoretical framework for business ethics that provides strong theoretical arguments against often-heard criticisms of business ethics. Many of these criticisms are ideological in nature, in that they systematically play down the importance of integrative functions in the business-society relationship, on the grounds of unrealistic assumptions about the performance of economic and bureaucratic institutions. However, business ethics itself can also become ideological, if it forgets that the conditions for the application of ethics to business are not always ideal as well.

In the educational context, one of the biggest problems that affect the performance of school institutions is what concerns dropouts. This study aims to describe the state of the art of school dropouts. It considered that the decision of students to interrupt their training itinerary brings adverse effects not only for the subject who evades since the magnitude of this problem causes damage to the whole society. The method used was the conceptual bibliographic submitted by Nascimento-e-Silva (2012; 2020), which consists of four phases: a) definition of research questions; b) data collection; c) organization and analysis of data, and; d) generation of responses. The study inferred that among the causes detected in the consulted literature, there are both causes relevant to the personal scope of students who drop out and the causes related to the education system and how education is organized from an institutional point of view. The conclusion shows that the school institutions need to constantly observe what science produces about dropout, to strengthen themselves in terms of managing and controlling the causes that support the phenomenon of dropping out of school.

English The great transformation to modernity made the economy the major organizing factor of the social synthesis, thus bringing forth the issue of the economy/society relationship as the central problem of modern social theory. This article deals with two broad approaches to this problem: Parsons's and Habermas's variants of structural-functionalism, on the one hand, and various currents of (neo)institutionalism, on the other. An attempt to synthesize the benefits of these conflicting approaches is made from the point of view of semiotic institutionalism. What emerges is a general theoretical framework, which is better equipped than the original structural-functionalist and institutionalist conceptions for the analysis of the economy/society relationship. French Les grandes transformations vers la modernité ont fait de l'économie le principal facteur organisateur de la synthèse sociale, portant sur le devant de la scène la question de la relation économie/société en tant que question centrale de la théorie sociale moderne. L'article s'intéresse à deux grandes approches de cette question: les variantes structuro-fonctionnalistes de Parsons et Habermas d'une part, et divers courants du (néo)institutionnalisme de l'autre. L'auteur s'efforce de faire la synthèse des points forts de ces deux approches conflictuelles du point de vue de l'institutionnalisme sémiotique. Il en émerge un cadre théorique général plus adapté que les conceptions structurofonctionnalistes et institutionnalistes à l'analyse de la relation économie/société.

This study aims to determine what factors are the cause of drop out of the children of farmers and non-farmers and whether there are differences in factors that cause drop out of the children of farmers and non-farmers. The analysis used in this research is by using descriptive analysis. This study was conducted from April to June 2017. This study used primary data and secondary data. Primary data was collected by direct interviews based on list of questions that have been prepared to the total respondents as many as 28 respondents. Method of sampling in this research use purposive sampling methods, they are children of farmer and not farmer with their parents. The results of this study indicate that the factors causing drop out of the children of farmers and non-farmers are: internal factors consisting of the will of the child itself and because children do not like school. External factors consisting of the economic condition of parents (unable to finance) and the social environment because affected with children who have dropped out of school first. At the parent level, both farmers and non-farmers, there is no difference in the reasons for dropping out. While at the level of children, both farmers and non-farmers children, there are different reasons for dropping out of school. Non-farmer children are because of internal factors: the willingness of children themselves while the child farmers are because of external factors are because the social environment.*eprm*

This research was motivated by the low encouragement of dropouts at the Community Reading Center of the Balai Gadang Village to continue their education, which was allegedly due to the low social condition of the family. The purpose of this study (1) is to describe how the social conditions of the family (2) describe the encouragement of children dropping out of school (3) to describe the relationship between family social conditions and the encouragement of children to drop out of school. The type of research used is quantitative correlation. There are 30 people as the population in this study. The technique for taking samples using random sampling, while the sample is 66% of the population to 20 people. The technique for collecting data is a questionnaire/questionnaire. The data analysis technique used theoretical ideal theory, percentage and Spearman Rho. The results of this study found that (1) the social conditions of the family were mostly quite low. (2) the encouragement of children dropping out of school is mostly quite low. (3) There is a significant relationship between family social conditions and the encouragement of children dropping out of school at the Community Reading Center of the Science Post, Balai Gadang Village. In connection with the existing conclusions, the researcher conveys that (1) It is hoped that parents will optimize in terms of looking for daily income and additional income so that their children can get a proper education. (2) It is expected that children who drop out of school can increase their motivation to learn. so that they can get a proper education and can learn both formally and non-formally. (3) It is hoped that more researchers can innovate by researching new variables in order to add and multiply existing variables.Keywords: family social conditions, encouragement of children dropping out of school

Social Security Disability

This article uses administrative data from the Social Security Administration to explore the employment patterns and characteristics of individuals awarded Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits between 2001 and 2009 who later became disability insured and qualified for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). While these individuals are a small portion of all SSI and SSDI beneficiaries, they are particularly interesting because they demonstrate a desire and ability to work despite the health conditions that make them eligible for disability benefits. On average, 2.3% of SSI-first awardees enter SSDI after they become disability insured within 5 years of their SSI award. These SSI awardees are younger than other SSI awardees and are more likely to achieve work-related milestones during the 5 years after SSI award. Although awardees in this group show signs of an ability to work, they gradually start dropping out of the labor force starting 5 months before SSDI benefits begin and drop out in greater numbers through the first year of SSDI benefits. This suggests that some of them may work enough to achieve disability-insured status but stop when they enter SSDI.
