Abstract:

Includes bibliographical references.<br>The subjugation of women dates back to ancient times. Through the centuries the suppression of women has taken different forms. With a few exceptions most African societies are patriarchal in character. They relegate women to a minor position and subject them to the guardianship of male partners. Traditionally, men were regarded as senior to women irrespective of age. This tradition of men regarding themselves as superior to women has its roots in our socio-cultural norms in Lesotho. Culturally men are regarded by society as superior to women. This perce

Abstract:

The school environment is one of the primary contexts for children's social, emotional and cognitive development. While teachers are likely to be primarily focused on students' motivation and learning, for adolescents, one of the most enjoyable and important aspects of school life is likely to be centered around the time spent interacting with peers. It is well recognized that peers socialize one another but although many studies have examined the influence of peers on adolescents' risky behaviors far fewer have focused on the influence peers may have on individuals' positive behaviors.

Abstract:

Hierarchical regression was used to determine if high school community type is an effective predictor of academic success when controlling for demographics, prior academic achievement, socioeconomic status, and current commitment or work habits for students entering Austin College in 1992,1993, and 1994 . Findings revealed that there is a relationship between attending high school in community types of rural and independent town controlling for the effects of SAT scores, high school rank, sex, and late application deposit on first semester grade point average.

Abstract:

Academic engagement has been found to significantly predict students' future achievement. Among adolescents, the peer context becomes an increasingly important point of socialization and influence on beliefs and behavior, including academic engagement. Previous research suggests that those peers with whom an adolescent spends much of their time significantly predict change in engagement over time (Kindermann, 2007).

The study focuses on how cultural values or factors, especially a strong and unrelenting Vietnamese emphasis on education, combine with opportunities and restrictions in the local environment, the context of reception, to affect the students' achievement.

Therefore, African American female administrators rely on culture to develop meaningful relationships with students, teachers, and parents and makeup for any financial hardships, which may exist duri

Abstract:

自千禧年開始，香港教育制度經歷了前所未有的轉變；其中，社區大學如雨後春筍般湧現，為未能通過大學聯合招生辦法升讀傳統大學的中學畢業生，另闢一條升學的出路。本研究利用個案研究法，探討本地副學士學生在經歷公開考試失敗之後，如何在社區學院獲取成功。參與是次研究的共有六名副學士學生，透過深入訪談，研究員蒐集了每一位受訪者賴以成功的重要因素，寫出六個成功的故事。在整理和分析資料的過程中，研究員利用開放式編碼以及編碼繪圖，找出類目和主題。研究結果顯示，令副學士學生達致成功的因素包括學校聯繫感、個人、社會以及院校因素。在學校聯繫感因素當中，以教師關懷以及同儕關係最為重要，而於個別個案中，積極參與課外活動亦為達致學業成功的重要因素。其他因素方面，學生的自主性及堅忍、學院的環境、課程和評核方法、來自家庭的支援以及個人信仰，均對學業成功有莫大影響。本研究具有理論價值及實際意義：在理論角度方面，本研究揭示副學士學生在學業上的成功，乃個人、社會與學校聯繫感的互動產物；在現實生活方面，本研究亦為社區學院的行政人員、教師及輔導員提供了幫助本地副學士學生邁向學業成功的方法，例如建立校園內的關愛文化及給予學生適切的支援和輔導等。最後，本文亦為其他相關的研究提出建議。<br>The education system in Hong Kong has undergone some unprecedented chang
