Identification Strategy

This paper investigates the existence of peer effects in academic outcomes by exploringspecificities in the student's admission process of a Brazilian federal university, which works as a naturalexperiment. Individuals who are comparable in terms of previous academic achievement end up havingclassmates with better or worse performance in college because of the assignment rule of students toclassrooms. Thus, our identification strategy for estimating peer effects on academic outcomes eliminates theendogenous self-selection into groups that would otherwise undermine the causal inference of peer effects.Overall, our findings showed that joining a class with high-ability students damages academic achievementsof the lowest-ability students at UFMG. Although male and female students are both negatively affected bybeing in the first (better) class, we found gender differences. Specifically, being at the bottom of the betterclass make females take less radical decisions compared to male students in the sense that female studentscontinue to study even though with lower performance (reduced GPA and credits earned) while male studentsseem to be more prone towards dropping out (increased number of subjects – or even University registration– cancelled and reduced attendance in classroom). We have also found other heterogeneities in peer effectsin college in terms of class shift, period of admission, area of study and parents’ education. This study is anecessary step before investigating the impact of peer quality on after-graduating decisions using the samenatural experiment. This will allow us to deepen our understanding of how peer effects can also have long-lasting impacts.

This study investigated the impact of teaching physics via modeling on theacquisition of energy and momentum conservation concepts. The sample consisted of 91 female students selected from 11th grade female students in two schools in Al-Dakhiliyah Governorate in Oman. The experimental group (n = 45) was taught via the modeling method, and the control group (n = 46) was taught using a traditional method. The study lasted six weeks during the second semester of the academic year 2013/2014. A teacher guide for teaching by models was designed and validated by a group of experts. To measure the acquisition of physics concepts, energy and momentum, an achievement test was used. The test consisted of 20 multiple-choice questions. Its reliability was measured by test-retest method (r = 0.79). The results revealed a statistically significant difference (p < .05) between the means of the experimental and control groups in favor of the experimental group. The study recommends that science teachers ought to use models and modeling in their teaching. Workshops to train supervisors, in-service teachers and pre-service teachers in the construction and development of scientific models need to be conducted

The Impact

The study aims to identify the development of the Islah and Tajdid movements in Malaya and the impact on Islamic education for women starting at the madrasah level to the high level in the late 20th century. This study discusses the movement of Islah and Tajdid which appeared at the beginning of the 20th century in Malaya and analyzed the influence of thinking on Islamic women's education. This study was conducted using a qualitative study, where all data information from primary and secondary sources was scrutinized and analyzed by taking an inductive approach. The study found that the characters involved in this movement in Malaya since the very beginning of their return from their studies in Egypt have supported the thought of Sheikh Muhammad Abduh and Sheikh Rasyid Ridha in the case of women's education. They wrote and worked on publications through newspapers and magazines that voiced the importance of Muslim women to be given freedom of education to engage in society. In order to realize these thoughts and awareness, they also set up special madrasah for female students in Penang, Melaka and Singapore. The influence of their thinking has led to the awareness of the Malay community with the establishment of madrasah in the states of Kelantan, Kedah, Perlis, and Johor and opened the widest opportunities for female students to receive education. Until the Independence era of Malaya, these madrasah have expanded to whole land of Malay as the efforts and awareness of group of religionist that support the thinking of Islah and Tajdid. In 1952 Malaya Islamic College was established and followed by Yayasan Pengajian Tinggi Islam Kelantan (YPTIK) in 1956 as a result of this group's efforts. Women's students also have the opportunity to pursue higher levels of education until there is an Islamic women's education network between Malaysia, Indonesia and Egypt. At the end of the 20th century, Muslim women had succeeded in occupying various career fields, especially in Islamic education as teachers in schools, as a lecturer at higher learning centers that offering various fields of Islamic studies and as civil servants in government departments.

The impact of social media use on behavior among Students of Higher Education institutions nowadays needs to be given serious attention. Many teenagers are influenced by the views shared on social media and cause the emergence of negative behavior problems at home or in educational institutions. The existence of these problems among teenagers is definitely a factor or cause that needs to be identified. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify the level of frequency of social media use and its relationship with the appearance of behavior among community college students in terms of socializing, communication, dressing, and entertainment. Social media and its impact on adolescents is a very broad issue and needs to be studied in depth all the time as its development and rapidity are always happening. The research only focused on three types of social media like Facebook, Youtube, and Instagram. This study was conducted qualitatively using the library research method by making research on books and journals. The findings that have been identified show that there are many advantages and disadvantages of social media for adolescents, especially in the aspects studied. This study is very important because it can make students aware that social media can influence negative morals and help all educators at all levels improve their teaching system by emphasizing the relevant elements to avoid negative social problems among male and female students.

BACKGROUND To reduce the spread of Covid-19 the Italian government imposed a rigid lockdown and, for a whole year, it kept declaring stringent rules to curb the community spread. The pandemic had a great negative impact on general population mental health, including the one of university students. OBJECTIVE The study provides an overview about symptomatology and help-seeking behavior of university students before and during the Covid-19 pandemic and it aims to evaluate the impact of the different phases of the pandemic on students' mental health. METHODS We collected data in four time points: (1) March 2019-February 2020, (2) March-May 2020, (3) October-December 2020, (4) January 2020-March 2021. A total of 454 students have been included in the study. Students answered a socio-demographic questionnaire and a standardized questionnaire to evaluate a broad range of symptoms of psychopathology. Descriptive analyses have been conducted to explore student’s symptomatology and help-seeking behavior. Considering the significant gender-difference distribution between groups, groups comparison analysis has been conducted considering male and female separately. RESULTS Considering the total sample size, results suggest that students have experienced moderate to severe levels of depressive, obsessive-compulsive and anxiety symptomatology. About 14% of the sample met criteria for at least one mental health disorders, but most of them were not receiving mental health care. Moreover, during the lockdown, compared with other phases, female students reported worse symptoms in the following dimension: obsessive-compulsive, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, paranoid ideation and psychoticism. The increasing symptomatology quickly disappeared after the lifting of the quarantine. Results showed any difference in the male groups. CONCLUSIONS Our findings support the view of a negative mental health condition of university students and indicate an increase of symptomatology during the lockdown among female students. Preventive and support strategies should be improved in the university context.

The Impact

The overall aim of this study is to fill a knowledge gap regarding misogynistic hate crimes, since only one previous study has focused on victims’ experiences. Drawing from a sample of 1,767 female students, the results show that women with experiences of misogynistic hate crimes are more likely to be subjected to sexual harassment, repeat victimization, and to have been targeted by strangers. They consistently report higher levels of fear of crime by comparison with both non-bias victims and non-victims. Finally, the results support the thesis that misogynistic hate crime, like other forms of hate crime, has a message effect.
