Jars of Light

The 21st century adult male learner lives a multidimensional life with multiple identities impacted by their notion of masculinity and manhood. Traditional notions of masculinity offer consequential stakes for college men which can impact student success and retention. This chapter presents a study designed to examine experiences of diverse undergraduate male learners as they explore the ways of knowing and make meaning of their own notions of how they experience their masculinity regulated and how their perception of other men's notion of masculinity shape their relationship with other men. Utilizing Queer Theory as a framework, educators can reimagine how masculinity impacts lives and boldly reimagine what an affirming and inclusive identity looks like for college men. This chapter will help stakeholders serve as an anchor for men willing to contest dominant ideologies surrounding masculinity while offering strategies to support male student retention through culturally inclusive practices.

Penguatan Identitas Gender pada Siswa Laki-laki Melalui Kehadiran Guru Laki-laki di Tingkat PAUD

Gender identity typically aware at the age of two and will strengthen until about five years old. It is important for parents and teacher of early childhood education to provide knowledge and strengthen children's gender identity so that their gender identity develops according to their gender. Teachers in schools play an important role in strengthening gender identity. Unfortunately, today's society is not much aware of the importance of it and teachers of early childhood education are still considered as women's professions. This article aims to explain the importance of the presence of male teachers on the strengthen of gender identity in early childhood students. This study used a literature review method with thematic analysis techniques. The results of the research analysis showed that society still gives a stigma that early childhood teachers must be women because they have more patience and so on. It creates a sense of prestige and shame for men to become early childhood teachers. On the other hand, male teachers are very much needed at the early childhood education level because male teachers have a role that cannot be replaced by female teachers, especially in the formation and strengthening of gender identity for male students, including providing challenging games for male students, giving examples of assertive behavior, and other attributes that show male gender roles in front of male students. Keywords: Early childhood education, gender identity, male student, male teacher. Abstrak: Identitas gender mulai terbentuk pada usia dua tahun dan akan menguat sampai sekitar usia lima tahun. Penting bagi orang tua dan guru Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD) untuk memberikan pengetahuan dan penguatan tentang identitas gender anak agar identititas gendernya berkembang sesuai dengan jenis kelamin yang dimiliki. Guru di sekolah memberikan pengaruh penting bagi penguatan identitas gender. Namun sayangnya masyarakat saat ini belum banyak yang menyadari pentingnya hal itu dan guru PAUD masih di anggap sebagai profesi perempuan. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk memaparkan pentingnya keberadaan guru laki-laki terhadap pembentukan identitas gender pada siswa PAUD. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode literature review atau studi pustaka dengan teknik analisis tematik. Hasil analisis penelitian menunjukkan bahwa masyarakat masih memberikan stigma bahwa guru PAUD haruslah perempuan karena memiliki kesabaran lebih dan lain-lain. Hal ini memunculkan rasa gengsi dan malu bagi laki-laki untuk menjadi guru PAUD. Di sisi lain, guru laki-laki sangatlah diperlukan di tingkat pendidikan anak usia dini karena guru laki-laki memiliki peran yang tidak bisa digantikan oleh guru perempuan khususnya dalam pembentukan dan penguatan identitas gender bagi siswa laki-laki, diantaranya pemberian permainan yang menantang bagi anak laki-laki, pemberian contoh perilaku tegas, serta atribut lain yang menunjukkan peran gender laki-laki dihadapan siswa laki-laki. Kata kunci: Identitas gender, guru laki-laki, PAUD, siswa laki-laki.

The Importance of Optical Coherence Tomography and Autofluorescence in the Documentation of Papillary Colobomatous Fossette

Aims: To describe the importance of optical coherence tomography and autofluorescence in the documentation of papillary colobomatous fossette. Presentation of Case: F.D.O. A 14-year-old male student is referred for evaluation of the fundus of the eye due to an alteration in the optic disc noticed by another professional who did not feel safe in the follow-up. The patient was completely asymptomatic at the time of the consultation and did not claim previous visual complaints. She denied systemic and ocular comorbidities and did not use any systemic and topical medication. Discussion: The congenital optic disc pit is a rare and typically unilateral congenital anomaly, consisting of a retinal herniation that extends into the subarachnoid space through a lamina cribrosa defect. 8,13,15,16 Although this condition, in most cases, does not present complications and remains asymptomatic, it can sometimes worsen with a significant decrease in visual acuity. This more serious condition can be characterized by important macular alterations, such as serous retinal detachment, cystic degenerations and degenerative pigmentary alterations. 14,16,17,18 The patient in the present report did not have any visual complaints and did not present severe structural and functional retinal damage, which highlights the importance of early diagnosis. Conclusions: The colobomatous papilla pit is characterized by the presence of isolated cavities in the optic disc head secondary to a developmental disorder of the primitive epithelial papilla. Its incidence is 1:10,000 people without sexual or racial predilection. It presents, in most cases, asymptomatic, unilateral in 85-95% of cases and rarely with more than one pit per disc.

Development and Validation of an Unethical Professional Behavior Tendencies Scale for Student Teachers

Teacher’s unethical professional behaviors affect students’ physical and mental health. Prevention should start with student teachers, but empirical research is lacking in China. This study surveyed over 2,000 student teachers from China to examine the psychometric properties of a student teachers’ unethical professional behavior tendencies scale which revised by primary and secondary school teachers’ unethical professional behavior tendencies scale. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis confirmed that a bi-factor model fit the data best. The final student teachers’ unethical professional behavior tendencies scale comprised four subscales, including a general factor (unethical professional behaviors) and four special factors (perfunctory attitude and carelessness, insults and discrimination, unfairness, and using power for personal gain). The student teachers’ unethical professional behavior tendencies scale correlated negatively with their professional ethical values and positively with perceived frequency of unethical professional behaviors of college teachers around them. The data supported the scale’s measurement invariance across gender, and male student teachers scored significantly higher on unethical professional behavior tendencies than female student teachers. The findings suggest that the student teachers’ unethical professional behavior tendencies scale is a useful instrument for assessing student teachers’ unethical professional behaviors in China.
