Content expectations and dropout in Dutch vocational education

Unrealistic expectations with regard to one’s study program has been linked to negative consequences for future academic success. Previous studies that have shown this are often retrospective, however, and focus on performance-related expectations (e.g. expected grades), while unrealistic expectations about the required effort and the content of the program (content-related expectations) may be more relevant for explaining dropout in tertiary education. This study prospectively investigates whether the content-related expectations of 208 Dutch Sport Academy students elicited before the start of their vocational program are associated with subsequent dropout and academic performance. Our results show that dropped-out students did not differ in expected grades (even though they did differ in prevocational GPA). Moreover, their content-related expectations at the start of the program did not from successful students, nor were they any less realistic. Still, when retrospectively asked, 50% of the students answered that the concerning program did not fit. This suggests that retrospective reports of inadequate expectations may not reflect deficient expectations before starting the program. Instead, tertiary educational programs may defy expectations in both successful students and later unsuccessful students, with surprises being pleasant for successful students and unpleasant for unsuccessful ones.

Penyuluhan Teknologi Pembenihan Ikan Bandeng Untuk Mendorong Kemandirian Produksi Benih Ikan Bandeng Di Kabupaten Bima Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat

Milkfish (Chanos chanos Forskal) is one of the high economic value of brackish water fish and it has become the main commodity of brackish water fisheries for Bima Regency. Bima Bay was the center of milkfish production in Bima Regency with a pond area of around 1,612.16 Ha. Fishponds were spread in 3 (three) districts, namely Bolo sub-district covering 759.95 Ha, Woha sub-district covering 765.82 Ha, and Palibelo sub-district covering 86.39 Ha. As many as 11.41% of the total area of ponds used for milkfish enlargement throughout the year, while 88.59% used for milkfish enlargement and salt production alternately. The area of a pond was about 0.25-0.65 Ha using a stocking density of 4.000-6.000 milkfish fry/pond. The number of seeds needed for the Bima bay area was around 27.4 million per year. Even though milkfish hatchery technology has developed, the technology is not yet understood by milkfish farmers. Therefore, extension activities need to be carried out with the aim of increasing public understanding of seedling and quality of seedlings produced so that the independence of seed production in the future can be realized. Aquaculture Study Program of Vocational Program at Bima Regency of Mataram University conducted a counseling activity in Bima Regency in September 2019 with the theme is Milkfish Hatchery (Chanos chanos Forskal) Household Scale, Opportunities and Problems. It was attended by about 40 target communities, namely Milkfish Farmers in the Bima Bay area. Based on communication during counseling, there needs to be a demonstration plot for Milkfish Hatchery in Bima Regency as a place for training and learning related communities

Prevalence and Distribution Pattern of Mood Swings in Thai Adolescents: A school-based Survey in The Central Region of Thailand

Background: Mood swings (MS) are a widely discussed psychiatric ailment of youthful patients. However, there is a lack of research about MS in this population. Methods: A school-based, cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the prevalence and distribution pattern of mood swings due to personal and contextual determinants in Thai adolescents in the central region of Thailand. Participants were 2,598 students in high schools and vocational schools in Bangkok and three provinces in the central region of Thailand. Results : The prevalence of mood swings was 26.4%. It was highest among vocational students in Bangkok at 37.1%. MS were more common in adolescents who exhibited risk behaviors and who resided in hazardous situations. The probabilities of MS by characteristic in 15 – 24 years olds were: bullying involvement 36.9% (n=1293), problematic social media use 55.9%(n=127), high expressed emotion in family 36.6% (n=1256), and studying in a vocational program 29.5% (n=1,216) and school located in Bangkok 32.4% (n=561). Also, substance use was a risk for MS with cannabis use at 41.8%(n=55) and heroin use at 48.0% (n=25). Hierarchical logistic regression analysis showed that female gender, having a family history of mental problems, bullying involvement, problematic social media use, high expression of emotion in the family, and the interaction between vocational program enrollments and metropolitan/urban residence associated adolescent mood swings (p < .05). Conclusions: Findings indicate that the pattern of mood swings was associated with significant bullying involvement, social media use, family circumstance, and school characteristics. The public needs greater awareness of MS patterns and the positive implications of MS screening. Early preventive interventions that may limit later mental illness are needed.

Enhancing Female Prisoners’ Access to Education

The rate of female incarceration continues to surge, resulting in over 714,000 women currently being held behind bars worldwide. Females generally enter carceral facilities with low educational profiles, and educational programming inside is rarely a high priority. Access to education is a proven contributor to women’s social and economic empowerment and can minimise some of the obstacles they encounter after being released from custody. Support for the intellectual potential of incarcerated female ‘students’ can address intersecting inequalities that impede access to social protection, public services and sustainable infrastructure. Policymakers, academics and activists concerned with gender equality must begin by focusing on academic and vocational program development for female prisoners, built through strong community partnerships, and inclusive of trauma informed supports.
