The curriculum must be adapted to the changes in the social order. -The American high school developed out of the needs of society and its rapid growth is accounted for to a large degree by the constant endeavor to serve the needs of society. The number of pupils has increased at a rate passing all expectation until now more than half of the population of high school age is enrolled in the secondary school. Not many years ago it was an unusual event when a member of the family graduated from the high school. Today the family expects all of the children to become high school graduates and, if the family income permits, to assist them to go to college. In the present depression when jobs are few many high school graduates are appealing to the school to help them change enforced idleness into an opportunity for further education and improvement. They are asking for readmission, and the disappointment is keen when they find that the schools are not able to accommodate them.

The objective of the investigation into the violent events in the daily environments of the students of a secondary school in Mexico was to reveal them as part of a training process for their teachers. From the conception that social and school violence are inherent to the social order and are expressed in bodies and things, our interdisciplinary approach was based on a mixed methodology, using qualitative techniques, through observation, pedagogical planning , common reflection and evaluation with teachers, and quantitative techniques, with the preparation and application of an interview of teachers to 429 students of the three grades of secondary school, in the morning and evening shifts, to relieve the network of violence, with emphasis on the school, andthe subsequent creation of a database for its systematization and analysis. This methodological strategy made it possible to unravel the moral judgment of students and adults in correspondence with the acts of violence experienced by the students, which have been mainly fights and beatings, harassment and robbery. Interventions regarding adults, in accordance with school regulations, have been the predominant application of expiatory sanctions, or their inaction, thus adding other forms of violence that express a heteronomous moral judgment. This forces the majority of students to be careful not to fall into provocations from the other minority group, ready to attack them as a way to settle their differences. Also the moral judgment of the students is heteronomous and their proposals to face these facts, to a large extent, coincide with the school regulations. However, a minority group of students proposed, in addition to listening, empathy and dialogue, that they “favor their own behaviors among equals”, which is the law of true cooperation, suggestive for a formative process of adults that facilitates the transition towards a moral judgment of cooperation, for a coexistence of protection and a better teaching-learning process.

The 1960S

The paper discusses the socio-cultural, economic, territorial, and other barriers in the educational sphere and the possibilities of overcoming them. The first part presents the results of research carried out on national empirical data from the 1960s to the present. The significant impact of barriers on the formation of educational and professional careers of young people is shown. It is noted that overcoming barriers becomes possible if the family has the resources to get over them; otherwise, children are forced to adjust their intentions by lowering their demands for education. The second part of the article analyzes the experience of several low-resource schools with students from low-status families. That schools undertake targeted efforts to help students overcome barriers. The teachers and management of these schools use special strategies for their work. Pedagogical measures are a significant part of these strategies; however, complex social conditions require a response by means of social measures. The most important is the formation of the motivation of all participants in the educational process. As a result of the school’s efforts, academic performance is improved, students’ intentions for further education are growing, their understanding of educational and professional careers, on the possibilities of social mobility are expanding. Changing orientations associated with building a life path is taking place. Examination of the experience of the social practice of these schools makes it possible to conclude: their activity manifests itself as a powerful resource that schools provides to families when they do not have the opportunity to overcome barriers. This resource can increase not only the potential of the educational organization but also the life chances of students, helping them no less effective than other types of resources are able to do it.

The article examines issues related to peer interactions and group joining in upper secondary schools in Finland. The study elaborates on how young people describe students who are left out/excluded or who remain outside the social networks. The study also elucidates on how a student can join the group. The research is motivated by the current educational ethos, which emphasizes inclusion and tolerance. The data were collected from an upper secondary school and vocational and technical institute. The students were asked to recall the prior high school year and write an essay on the topic. A total of 49 students wrote about their memories. The data were analyzed using inductive content analysis, and the study found that students are either excluded or included due to the social skills they possess. Those who do not exhibit the same approach to being in a group will stay on the sidelines. The essays also described factors that connect students, such as hobbies and leisure activities. Similarity in many external factors (e.g., the family’s economic situation) unites students. Contrary to expectations, young people described themselves, and not just others, as outsiders.

The importance of acquiring information literacy (IL) knowledge and skills in high schools as a prerequisite to entering colleges and universities has been well-documented in the literature (e.g., Cahoy, 2002; Fitzgerald, 2004; Saunders, Severyn, & Caron, 2017).  This paper investigates the IL knowledge of Canadian and international high school graduates, as they enter a university in Canada. More specifically, the focus is on information seeking behaviour (ISB), part of the Access and Evaluation stages of the IL spectrum (Sparks, Katz, & Beile, 2016).
