Abstract:
The enrollment of military/veteran students at U.S. colleges and universities is growing steadily; however, factors affecting their academic success need further investigation. Guided by Tinto's student integration model and Bean and Metzner's model of nontraditional student attrition, the relationships between student characteristics and academic success for military/veteran, and civilian students were investigated. For this nonexperimental study, preentry characteristics (military/civilian status, race/ethnicity, age, gender, transfer credits) as well as 1st-year academic performance (total terms attended and grade point average [GPA]) archived in 393 students' records were examined to determine whether these variables predicted 4 student success measures: retention after 1 year, associate degree (AA) within 4 years, bachelor's degree (BA) within 8 years, and final GPA. Binary logistic regression and ordinary least squares multiple regression were conducted for the 3 retention/graduation measures and GPA, respectively. Significant findings indicated that Black students were more likely than White students to complete both AA and BA degrees and military, but not veterans, were more likely than civilians to earn AA degrees. Age was a positive predictor for earning a BA degree and a higher final GPA; transfer credits and total terms attended predicted student retention and AA degree completion; first-year GPA only predicted final GPA. Based on outcomes from this military-focused college, which showed the academic potential of two student groups often deemed less academically successful (military and Black students), colleges that focus on military students' success can better prepare these students for degree completion.

Abstract:
Many military children face obstacles during their lives, and these obstacles can affect their classroom environment due to their mobility, social-emotional behavior, and academics. The purpose of this study was to identify challenges, if any, that teachers indicate exist while educating military-connected students in public schools and teacher actions to address any challenges. Existing literature on military connected students and teacher perceptions of military-connected challenges was reviewed. This study examined teacher perceptions of the challenges, responses to challenges and training these teachers experienced while teaching military-connected students. A Likert-type survey of questions was administered through an online survey tool to elementary school teachers in two public school divisions in Virginia. The survey instrument was developed by Mittleberg (2014). After collecting the data, the researcher examined and analyzed data based on the survey responses. The following research questions were addressed:
  1. What challenges do teachers identify related to educating military-connected students?
  2. What practices do teachers use to address the perceived challenges?
  3. What do teachers indicate as their level of training to teach military-connected students?
The study concluded with eight findings and eight implications. The findings provided teachers with the tools necessary to address the needs of military-connected students as well as provided schools and school divisions with information that could impact their professional learning decisions. Findings included but were not limited to how teachers perceived that assessment of students' background knowledge was a challenge when teaching military-connected students, how filling in students' knowledge gaps was a challenge, and how adjustment to students leaving and arriving at various times during the school year were a challenge when teaching military-connected students. A few implications were, school leaders should investigate ways to assist teachers in assessing students' background knowledge. It should be a consideration that personnel be provided with resources to help focus on meeting the needs of the students who have knowledge gaps and the development of a handbook of team building and getting to know you resources should be given to teachers to assist in building a strong classroom environment.

There are many public school divisions in the United States that service military-connected students. Of the 132 school divisions in the Commonwealth of Virginia, there is at least one military-connected student in each school division. According to Wykes (2015), Virginia is one of the top 10 states for military presence with 10% (Wykes, 2015, p. 23). Teachers in these school divisions face perceived challenges that need to be addressed. Some of those challenges include mobility, academics, and the social-emotional well-being of the military- connected student. This quantitative study focused on the perceived challenges public school teachers face when teaching military-connected students. Data were collected using a Likert-type survey with participants from two school divisions who service military-connected students. There were limitations in this study beyond the researcher's control such as the accuracy and honesty by the respondents and response rate. This study produced eight findings and eight implications. Of the eight findings, three were teachers perceived the adjustment to students leaving and arriving at various times, having a routine in place when new military-connected students arrive into the classroom after the start of the school year, and receiving the level of training needed to prepare them to support parents/guardians of military connected students in their classroom were a challenge. A few of the implications included, the need for teacher preparation programs to address the challenges military connected students face, the development of a handbook of team building activities for teachers to use in the classroom as a resource and the need for resources that could focus on meeting the needs of students' knowledge gaps to support those military connected students.

Abstract:
The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine undergraduate military veteran students’ self-determination and academic effort in relation to their nonveteran college peers. A total of 734 undergraduates attending 4-year institutions in Texas completed a survey, including: 76 veterans (63% males, 37% females); and 658 non-veterans (26% males, 74% females). This research created a more holistic survey of self-determination by adding the 8-item New General Self-Efficacy Scale to the 10-item Self-determination Scale. The survey also included 13-items drawn from the National Survey of Student Engagement. A factor analysis with a varimax rotation of the items identified six factors: competence, autonomy, relatedness, reflection, learning strategies, and quantitative reasoning resulting in a significant Bartlett’s test of sphericity (2 (465) = 12324.53, p < .001). The first hierarchical ordinary least squares (HOLS) analysis results showed that undergraduate veteran students have statistically significant higher levels of self-determination than students without military experience with a small effect size (R2 = .022%, p < .001); however, a meta-analysis of self-determination revealed a large effect size of d = 1.33 between veterans (M = .81, SD = .12) and freshmen undergraduates (M = .65, SD = .12). The second HOLS analysis revealed that self-determination is a positively related, statistically significant factor in academic effort potentially adding 6.8% variance explained to the multi-factored general causal model of college impact (GCMCI).

Abstract:
The purpose of this basic qualitative study was to gain insight into the factors that military students perceive to have an impact on their persistence. The conceptual framework for this study was Knowles' principles of andragogy. The research questions were designed to explore military students' persistence, measures of engagement in academic activities, decisionmaking to assure success, and the strategies considered important to earn a degree at an online college. Demographic surveys, status reports and degree plans, and semistructured telephone interviews were collected from 13 military students. Interview data were transcribed and all data were open coded and thematically analyzed. Military students experienced longer than desirable time to degree while they managed institutional factors (policies and procedures), situational factors (school, work, and family obligations), and dispositional factors (age and past experiences). Specifically, military students indicated that the following factors contributed to their academic success: (a) military-friendly policies and procedures; (b) balance between school, work, and family; (c) and maturity gained from real-world experiences. They purposefully planned to persist, successfully addressed complex situations, and looked to experts in academia to ensure that those who could impact their progress were keenly aware of military students' diverse needs. Findings were incorporated into a white paper to inform academic leaders on how best to assist military students in completing their online degree programs. Implications for social change are that military students will be better prepared for more career opportunities and help mitigate the financial difficulties and high unemployment rates that disproportionately impact veterans.

Military-connected students are a highly mobile population who undergo a great deal of stress in their lives. These factors can overflow into life in the elementary classroom, causing challenges for teachers. This study looked at the percieved challenges elementary classroom teachers face when working with military-connected students in one public school district with schools located on a military base and other schools near it. A Likert-type survey of questions was created and administered to teachers using an online survey tool. The survey was sent to elementary teachers working in schools in one public school district in the Midwestern United States with a garnered response rate of 42.2% (n=68). The schools in the district were located in a city near and on a military base. The study used exploratory factor analysis, descriptive statistics, independent samples t-tests, an ANOVA, and step-wise regression analysis procedures to answer the research questions regarding the challenges teachers face when working with military-connected students. The results of the study indicated that the number of years a teacher has been teaching influences their perceptions of challenges regarding military-connected students. In addition, teachers indicated that helping students catch up academically, supporting them emotionally, and family/parent issues are the top challenges when working with elementary military-connected students.

Abstract:
Mattering involves feeling as though oneself belongs in a community and tends to influence one’s college experience. The issue of mattering has been explored in social psychology and education literature. Such research has sought to understand the transitions and necessary role changes of college students. Unfortunately, there has been a lack of studies on perceived mattering within one specific college student population—student veterans and active service members (SV/ASM). Higher learning institutions have expressed concerns about the academic progress of the SV/ASM population upon transitioning into college. However, no previous studies have examined the relationship between SV/ASM’s sense of mattering and their academic success. As such, the purpose of this study was twofold. First, it attempted to develop a mattering scale in order to examine SV/ASM mattering. Second, it explored the predictive ability of perceived mattering variables to SV/ASM’s academic success, as measured by their cumulative grade point average (GPA). The Mattering Scales for Adult Students in Higher Education (MHE) was used in this quantitative study with demographic questions. A sample of 129 SV/ASM enrolled at a research-based university in the midwestern region of the United States was used in this survey. An exploratory factor analysis was applied to operationalize the construct of mattering from MHE in order to investigate the SV/ASM’s feelings of mattering regarding the higher education environment. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses were utilized to examine the effects of the mattering variables from MHE on the SV/ASM’s GPA. This study found that four mattering dimensions in the higher education environment could be employed to measure SV/ASM’s sense of mattering: peers, faculty, advising, and administration. The findings revealed that the SV/ASM generally have a neutral sense of mattering to their non-military peers and the university’s administration, while expressing a positive sense of mattering to their faculty members and advisors. The findings also indicated that peers and administration may impact SV/ASM’s academic success. Therefore, higher learning institutions should strive to provide tailored administration and positive peer interactions for SV/ASM in order to promote their overall academic success in higher education.

Abstract:

The need for accurate information about the achievement of students whose military parents are deployed to a war zone or whose military parents are eligible although not currently deployed to a war zone is important in order to ensure that we are providing for the educational wellbeing of these children as their parents defend our nations freedoms. The purpose of this posttest-only comparative efficacy study was to determine the achievement outcomes of sixth-grade students with a military parent deployed to a war zone (n = 10) or sixth-grade students with a military parent not deployed to a war zone (n = 10) compared to same school students whose parents have no military affiliation (n = 10). The study’s dependent measures were Academic achievement as measured by end of sixth-grade (1) Nebraska State Accountability Assessment Test-Math, (2) Nebraska State Accountability Assessment Test-Reading, (3) Measure of Academic Performance-Math, (4) Measure of Academic Performance-Reading, (5) Research School District’s Descriptive Writing Assessment for (a) Ideas and Content, (b) Organization, (c) Voice, (d) Word Choice, (e) Sentence Fluency, and (f) Conventions, and (6) Research School District’s Essential Objectives for (a) Language, (b) Math, (c) Science, (d) Social Studies, (e) Health, (f) Physical Education, and (g) Music. The overall pattern of end of sixth-grade statistical equipoise between group comparisons indicated that the goal of educational wellbeing for these students of military families, and control group students alike, was being met and was reflected in measured proficient and advanced level performance requiring students’ day-to-day engagement at school and support at home.

Abstract:

The U.S. physician population lacks diversity, and this lack of diversity is reflected in the medical student population. Medical schools have implemented various types of programs to increase the diversity of their student population, and by extension, the physician population. A public Northeastern medical school implemented a postbaccalaureate premedical (PBPM) program for military enlisted service members with a goal to increase diversity among its medical school cohorts. A quantitative causal-comparative ex post facto study compared diversity variables of the PBPM military enlisted students with the public medical school student group, as well as the national student group.Chi-square analysis found significant differences between the military enlisted students and the two other comparison groups in four of five diversity measures. The military students were statistically different in age, marital status, number of dependents, and socioeconomic background. The groups did not differ significantly in terms of their racial/ethnic demographics. The study validated Tinto’s framework of student persistence with a military population.

Abstract:
Researchers examining issues of recent veterans of military conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have found evidence of psychological distress and difficulty adjusting to civilian life post-deployment. Changes in educational benefits offered to veterans will likely facilitate greater numbers of veterans to enter academia in the coming years. This survey of 49 college student veterans at a large Midwestern university was designed to reveal the frequency and intensity of psychological distress, PTSD and alcohol misuse. Relationships between these constructs and the constructs of social support, stigma and barriers to psychological care, life satisfaction, traumatic experiences, attitudes toward help seeking, and service utilization are reported. A history of mental health service utilization since military service was reported by many respondents. PTSD and alcohol misuse symptoms were reported by many college student veterans and incidence in this sample was greater than the incidence previously reported in the literature on veterans. Stigma was found to be negatively correlated with attitudes toward help seeking. Post deployment social support was found to be negatively associated with psychological distress and positively associated with service utilization. Implications and limitations of these findings are presented and future directions for research and intervention are discussed.

Abstract:
Little is known about the experiences of doctoral students who are active duty military or veterans seeking a degree in counselor education and supervision (CES). The purpose of this research was to positively impact the counseling profession by ensuring adequate representation of military-competent counselors through an exploration of the academic journey of military students. This research sought to highlight military students' perceptions of barriers and contributors to degree completion. Selection criteria for participants involved any United States military personnel classified as active or inactive. These military personnel had to have earned within the past 12 months or were currently enrolled in a counselor education and supervision PhD program at an institution accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs. This research adopted a phenomenological hermeneutic theoretical approach to explore the lived experiences of 6 military students on their journey to degree completion in a CES doctoral program. The central research question focused on the lived experiences of military CES students related to their journey towards degree completion. Key results emerged in the form of themes that contributed to degree completion such as helping other veterans/giving back and programmatic fit. Themes that showed prevalent barriers to degree completion included professional identity development, military students and degree completion, environmental factors, and access to military counselors. The implications of this study for social change include supporting academic institutions in reducing the attrition rates of military CES students.

Abstract:
At Base Elementary School (BES) in the Southwest United States school administrators were concerned that writing proficiency levels for 2014-2015 were below district and state standards and there was not a clear understanding of teachers' perceptions on writing proficiency of military-connected (MC) students at the target site. Therefore, the purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore teachers' perceptions on writing proficiency of MC students at BES. Using Lave and Wenger's communities of practice framework, a qualitative instrumental case study was used to discern perceptions of elementary English Language Arts (ELA) teachers regarding the writing proficiency of MC students. Through a purposeful sample of 12 ELA teachers, telephone interviews were used to explore teachers' writing perceptions. Data from interviews were analyzed using inductive and iterative analysis resulting in identification of key themes. Major themes included the status of existing writing practices, diverse culture of MC students, need for collaborative relationship building among teachers, and the need for targeted writing professional development (PD) focused on connecting evidence-based practices (EBP) to state writing standards using culturally responsive practices (CRP). The resulting project of a white paper, will promote stakeholder awareness of teachers' perceptions, includes themes supporting the findings with recommendations that teachers would benefit from targeted writing PD focused on EBP and CRP using a collaborative model. Teacher use of these recommendations may promote social change by improving writing support for MC students possibly leading to improved performance on state proficiency assessments.

Abstract:
Soldiers face complex challenges, issues, and decisions when pursuing distance learning while deployed. These challenges are encountered frequently while completing undergraduate and graduate degree programs on active duty overseas. Many learning programs and benefits are available and utilized by military online learners in a war zone. Education programs and benefits, such as, GoArmyEd, and the Post-9/11 GI Bill, have had major impacts on deployed military learners. The dissertation reviews impacts on academic enrollment, utilization of military education benefits, and course completion of soldier-students affected by military deployment. A literature review, survey, and research based on soldiers deployed from 2009-2010 identified several impacts on military learners from the time of the deployment through a two year period following return. Issues include application and utilization of benefits, beginning studies, halting studies, or transitioning from traditional to distance learning programs. In addition, challenges with soldier awareness and use of military education benefits and distance learning programs are presented.

The research is a case study of a quantitative nature and aimed to evaluate the formal thought of the students of the Military College of Fortaleza (CMF) in the light of the theory of genetic epistemology of Jean Piaget. The population totals 800 students enrolled in grades (years) in primary education II (6th to 9th grade ) and high school (1st to 3rd year). Data were obtained with the application of a test of verbal intelligence test (reasoning) and the collections on age, sex , year ( range ) and the origin of the students information gazetted or non- gazetted and migrant or non- migrant, noted in the tab. The result achieved by each student in the reasoning test was associated with student performance on assessments of English language, mathematics and overall average (mean final of students in all courses taken in the year 2012) The result of the data analysis performed in software application SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) for Windows version 20.0 pointed to statically significant difference between gazetted and non- gazetted students. The initial hypothesis that migrant students could have difficulty learning because of the changing process was not confirmed by analysis of the search results. It found a similarity between the performance of students in the reasoning test and performance in internal assessments practiced by students of CMF. As regards the results by age, there was a confluence with Piaget's theory because the results showed performance improvement as age advances. The finding points to the importance of faculty and teaching staff perform their methodological and pedagogical - didactic actions with emphasis on the development of reasoning that proved they were not well developed and that students should pay attention to non- gazetted whose performance showed differences statically significant in relation to the gazetted students.
A pesquisa à um estudo de caso de natureza quantitativa e teve por finalidade avaliar o pensamento formal dos alunos do ColÃgio Militar de Fortaleza (CMF), à luz da teoria da epistemologia genÃtica de Jean Piaget. A populaÃÃo perfaz um total de 800 estudantes regularmente matriculados nas sÃries (anos) do ensino fundamental II (6 ao 9 ano) e no ensino mÃdio (1 ao 3 ano). Os dados foram obtidos com a aplicaÃÃo de um teste de inteligÃncia verbal (teste de raciocÃnio) e com as informaÃÃes coletas sobre idade, sexo, ano (sÃrie) e a origem dos estudantes: concursado ou nÃo-concursado e migrante ou nÃo-migrante, anotados em ficha de registro. O resultado alcanÃado por cada discente no teste de raciocÃnio foi relacionado com o desempenho dos alunos nas avaliaÃÃes de lÃngua portuguesa, matemÃtica e mÃdia global (mÃdia final dos alunos em todas as disciplinas cursadas no ano de 2012). O resultado da anÃlise dos dados realizada no software aplicativo SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) para Windows versÃo 20.0 apontou para diferenÃa estaticamente significativa entre alunos concursados e nÃo-concursados. A hipÃtese inicial de que os alunos migrantes poderiam apresentar dificuldades de aprendizagem em razÃo do processo de constantes mudanÃas nÃo se confirmou pela anÃlise dos resultados da pesquisa. Constatou-se uma semelhanÃa entre o desempenho dos alunos no teste de raciocÃnio e o desempenho nas avaliaÃÃes internas praticadas pelos estudantes do CMF. No que se refere aos resultados por idade ocorreu uma confluÃncia com a teoria piagetiana porque os resultados apresentaram melhora de desempenho à medida que a idade avanÃava. A conclusÃo aponta para a importÃncia do corpo docente e da equipe pedagÃgica realizarem suas aÃÃes didÃtico-pedagÃgica-metodolÃgica com Ãnfase no desenvolvimento dos raciocÃnios que se mostraram nÃo estarem bem desenvolvidos e que se deve dedicar atenÃÃo aos alunos nÃo-concursados cujo desempenho apresentou diferenÃas estaticamente significativas em relaÃÃo aos alunos concursados.

Abstract:
Job satisfaction of early childhood teachers in military programs and satisfaction changes as teachers deal with challenging behaviors in the workplace was the focus of this study. The goal of The National Association for the Education of Young Children is to ensure quality programming that promotes positive child development experiences. Child development experiences are impacted by teaching staff, partnerships, administration, and the children's' environment. This case study examined the specific environment and behaviors that military childcare providers experience at a small military installation and explored how working with children with challenging behaviors impacts the job satisfaction of early childhood teachers. Herzberg's 2-factor theory provided the conceptual framework on how satisfaction and dissatisfaction can exist in the same environment. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews and observations of the work environment with 11 participants ranging from 23 to 56 years of age at the military installation. The participants were selected for being part of the military community and early childhood teachers at the study site. Data were open coded and thematically analyzed. Findings indicated that the teachers at this site have a dual perception of satisfaction and dissatisfaction in the workplace that stems from experiences with coworker relationships, dealing with policy and procedure changes, and adjusting to the varying behaviors of children. The implications for social change include providing research findings on early childhood teacher satisfaction to the study site so that administrators can develop a plan to improve military early childhood care provider job satisfaction, which may improve the quality of the environment of the military child.

Abstract:
Military service members are a subpopulation of the postsecondary student body. Many service members report symptoms of depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Yet, practical and stigma-related barriers prevent these service members from seeking treatment, often when treatment services are available as part of post-enlistment benefits. Using a variety of surveys, the present thesis assessed the demographics, self-reported symptoms of PTSD and depression, perceptions of treatment, and treatment utilization among military-affiliated students on a postsecondary campus. Correlational analyses revealed that severity of PTSD and depression symptoms were positively correlated with overall treatment utilization. However, practical and stigma-related barriers were not significantly associated with treatment utilization. Multiple regression analyses revealed that stigma-related and practical barriers did not moderate the relationship between symptoms of PTSD or depressive symptoms and treatment utilization. Post-hoc analyses showed a positive correlation between reported practical barriers and on-campus treatment utilization, and also revealed that on-campus treatment utilization was positively correlated with overall treatment utilization and positively correlated with utilization of community-based health services. The impact of these findings is discussed.

Full text
Abstract:
The ways in which faculty navigate the relationship between their personal identity and the identities of their military connected students, especially concerning their approaches to teaching behaviors (Barnard-Brak, Bagby, Jones, & Sulak, 2011) are influenced by normative values that their institution or department supports (Weidman, 1989) as well as by the values that they themselves hold (Barnard-Brak et al., 2011). Given the fraught history of academia and the military (Summerlot, Green, & Parker, 2009; Downs & Murtazashvili, 2012), such variables are especially important to measure as student-faculty interaction impacts student learning outcomes (Cruce, Wolniak, Seifert, & Pascarella, 2006; Ethington, 2000; Kim, 2010; Kim & Sax, 2009, 2011, 2015). Toward that end, the primary purpose of this study was to create a multi-institutional survey instrument that operationalizes perceptions of teaching behaviors amongst faculty who educate military-connected students (MCS) at civilian colleges and universities. Main objectives included creating and developing items specific to unique teaching behaviors and ensuring validity of this instrument. I used a variety of analyses to create the instrument and to ensure validity of content within the survey. I followed DeVellis’ (2017) model for scale development to create and validate the Military-Connected Student-Faculty Interaction Questionnaire (MCSFI-Q). Eleven field experts participated in cognitive interviews to provide sources of evidence for construct validity (Miller et al., 2014) as well as to uncover and resolve content validity and construct validity issues (Padilla & Benítez, 2014). Following data collection, I conducted content and construct validity analysis to develop a valid and more parsimonious survey instrument. Results from all analyses led to the conclusion that the MCSFI-Q is comprised of conceptually valid items that operationalize teaching behaviors amongst faculty who educate MCS at civilian colleges and universities and that the MCSFI-Q has the potential to collect accurate data. Research next steps include further empirical testing in order for the MCSFI-Q to be useable in measuring teaching norms amongst faculty who educate MCS at civilian colleges and universities.

L’épuisement professionnel était évalué par le MBI- GS pour les étudiants de 1ère et de 2ème année, par le MBI-HSS pour les étudiants de 4ème et de 8ème année. 393 auto-questionnaires ont été distribués, 327 ont été recueillis et 261 ont été analysés, soit un taux de réponse global de 83,20%. La moyenne d’âge de la population était de 21, 5 ans, 46% étaient des hommes, 54% étaient des femmes ; 35,6% étaient en première année d’étude, 14,9% étaient en deuxième année, 23,8% étaient en quatrième année, enfin 25,7% étaient des internes en 8° année d’études ; parmi les internes, 82,1% étaient en médecine générale et 17,9% étaient internes de spécialité hospitalière. Ces scores correspondaient à un pourcentage global des étudiants présentant un fort épuisement émotionnel de 12,3% ; 25,3% exprimaient une forte dépersonnalisation et 18,6% un faible accomplissement personnel. Le pourcentage d’internes présentant un fort épuisement émotionnel était de 35,7% ; 38,0% exprimaient une forte dépersonnalisation et 37,1% un faible accomplissement personnel ; L’étude montrait que les scores médians d’épuisement émotionnel et de dépersonnalisation s’aggravaient au cours des études de manière significative (p <0,001) ; les scores médians d’accomplissement personnel restaient modérés de la première à la huitième année, n’augmentant pas en fin de parcours universitaire ; 9,8% des élèves de 4ème année et 21,2% des élèves de 8ème année présentaient des pensées de mort pour eux-mêmes ou avaient réalisé une tentative de suicide.L’étude qualitative par théorisation ancrée montrait que devenir médecin militaire implique des antécédents personnels marqués par l’idéal et l’identification ; il s’agit d’être à la fois d’être médecin mais aussi militaire dans une temporalité contrainte marquée par l’apprentissage parfois inadapté de la connaissance scientifique médicale et d’un éthos militaire, où l’influence des groupes est fondamentale ; les tensions entre savoir et pouvoir sont marquées, surtout dans la violence de la confrontation à la mort. Le ressenti variait entre les hommes et les femmes mais l’association des normes et des injonctions militaires au mode de vie médical entrainait pour une globalité des sentiments négatifs d’anxiété, de solitude et d’incertitude majeure envers l’avenir. Différentes stratégies de prévention et de prise en charge sont proposées
The main objective of this study was to achieve a global mental health perspective in a population of military medical students, over targeted years of the curriculum by determining the extent of burnout. The secondary objectives were to propose an interdisciplinary understanding of psychic problems, to highlight individual, collective and situational risk factors favoring the possible appearance of psychic disorders, to identify institutional support points or to developed ones.A mixed methodology combining quantitative and qualitative study was used. This is a cross-sectional study repeated quantitatively and descriptively by an anonymous self-administered questionnaire. Professional burnout was assessed by the MBI-GS for 1st and 2nd year students, by the MBI-HSS for students in the 4th and 8th years.393 self-questionnaires were distributed, 327 were collected and 261 were analyzed, an overall response rate of 83.20%. The average age of the population was 21. 5 years, 46% were men, 54% were women; 35.6% were in the first year of study, 14.9% were in the second year, 23.8% were in the fourth year, and 25.7% were residents in the eighth year. Among the residents, 82.1% were general practitioners and 17.9% were specialty hospital residents. These scores corresponded to an overall percentage of students with a high emotional exhaustion of 12.3%. 25.3% expressed a strong depersonalization and 18.6% a low personal achievement. The percentage of residents with high emotional exhaustion was 35.7%; 38.0% expressed a strong depersonalization and 37.1% a low personal achievement. The study showed that median scores of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization was worsening significantly (p < 0.001). The median personal achievement scores remained moderate from the first to the 8th grade, not increasing at the end of the university; 9.8% of 4th year and 21.2% of 8th year students had suicidal ideation or made a suicide attempt.The qualitative study by grounded theory showed that becoming a military doctor implies personal antecedents marked by ideal and identification. It is a matter of being both a doctor and a military in a constrained temporality marked by the sometimes inadequate learning of medical scientific knowledge and a military ethos where the influence of groups is fundamental. The tensions between knowledge and power are marked, especially in the violence of confrontation with death. Feelings varied between men and women, but the association of military norms and injunctions with the medical lifestyle leads to an overall negative feeling of anxiety, loneliness and major uncertainty about the future. Different strategies for prevention and medical management are proposed

Resumo: Os militares constituem uma categoria profissional pouco estudada em relação à saúde vocal. A formação do Oficial do Exército Brasileiro envolve atividades específicas que podem levar a danos vocais. Um exemplo é o Programa de Treinamento Militar (PTM), que consiste em exercício de 48 horas de duração que envolve alta demanda vocal, para a produção de brados e canções, associada a intensa atividade física. Durante o exercício, a hidratação e o tempo de sono são controlados. Após abuso vocal é necessário um tempo para uma recuperação funcional e celular. O objetivo do estudo é avaliar o impacto vocal imediato após o PTM e a recuperação vocal de estudantes militares duas semanas após o PTM. Para tanto, amostras vocais de jovens adultos (entre 18 e 22 anos) foram coletadas em três momentos distintos: antes, imediatamente após e duas semanas após o PTM. Medidas fonatórias foram realizadas com produções da vogal /a/, das consoantes fricativas /s/ e /z/. Paralelamente, alguns parâmetros acústicos foram analisados com amostras de fala e da vogal /a/: frequência fundamental, jitter, shimmer, intensidade média, proporção harmônico-ruído, H1-H2, modulação de frequência, modulação de intensidade e ênfase espectral. Os parâmetros acústicos foram extraídos ou calculados a partir de dados obtidos pelo software de análise acústica Praat. Na análise estatística, o Teste T pareado foi utilizado para a comparação das diferenças entre dois momentos de coleta de dados (antes e imediatamente após PTM) e para a comparação das diferenças entre os três momentos de coleta de dados foi utilizado o teste One Way ANOVA. Para a comparação entre os dados encontrados no primeiro momento de coleta de dados e os valores normativos da literatura foi utilizado o Teste T para amostras independentes, todos com nível de significância de 0,05. Ao compararmos os dois primeiros momentos de coleta de dados, os resultados apresentaram diferenças estatisticamente significativas nas medidas fonatórias e nos valores de intensidade média e de ênfase espectral para as amostras da vogal isolada. Na comparação dos três momentos de coleta de dados, os resultados mostraram que não houve diferença significativa entre os dados do primeiro e do terceiro momento de coleta, com exceção da medida fonatória da vogal /a/, o que sugere a ocorrência de recuperação vocal após duas semanas. Há diferenças nos resultados no primeiro momento de coleta de dados (pré PTM) comparados com medidas normativas da literatura recente, sugerindo mais estudos sobre a presença de um padrão vocal característico para esse grupo
Abstract: The military are an understudied occupational category in relation to vocal health. The Brazilian Army Officer formation involves specific activities that could lead to vocal injury. One example is the Military Training Program which consists of a 48-hour exercise that involves high vocal demand to produce military command shouts with intense physical training. During the training, students are submitted to controlled hydration and sleep deprivation. After vocal abuse at least 18 hours of complete vocal rest are necessary for functional recovery. However, the cell recovery demands more time until inflammatory process ends (at least 14 days after the injury). The goal of this study is to evaluate the immediate vocal impact and the vocal recovery of military students two weeks after completion of the Military Training Program. Vocal samples from young adult males (18 to 22 years old) were collected in three moments: before, immediately after and two weeks after Military Training Program. Phonatory measures were collect using vocalization of vowel /a/ and fricative consonants /s/ and /z/. Besides, some acoustic parameters were analyzed using speech samples: fundamental frequency, jitter, shimmer, mean of intensity, harmonic-to-noise ratio, H1-H2, spectral emphasis, range of frequency and intensity. The acoustic parameters were extracted or calculated from software Praat. Paired samples t-test was used to statistical analysis to compare differences among the parameters between two moments (before and immediately after Military Training Program) and One way ANOVA was used to statistical analysis to compare differences among the parameters in the three moments. Independent samples t-test was used compare the data found in the first moment of data collection and normative values from the literature, all with significance level of 0.05.The results of comparison of two first moments showed significant differences in maximum phonation times, mean of intensity and spectral emphasis for sustained vowel samples. Results of comparison of three moments showed no significant differences between first and third moment, except for maximum phonation time of vowel /a/, what suggest a vocal recovery after two weeks. There were differences between first moment data (before MTP) and normative values that suggest more researches about a vocal pattern different for this group

Abstract:
Research in military veterans’ transition from military service to civilian college indicates that veterans can be successful in college. Considering veterans are generally older than the average traditional student population who attends college after high school, military veterans fit the characteristics of an adult student. Research indicates that the military veteran may be more disciplined and characteristically achieve their academic goals. However the literature is limited in the research of military veteran success in community colleges, and research is inconsistent with regards to the academic success of military veterans. The military veteran population in the present research consisted of 40 students with a comparison to 5,189 students in the general student population. Each of these students was pursuing an associate’s degree and were enrolled at 1 of 4 Middle Tennessee community colleges. The purpose of this comparative quantitative study was to compare the success factors (GPA, fall to fall retention, and graduation rates) of military veterans to the general student population at 4 participating Middle Tennessee community colleges. Data were compiled from historical student-level data consisting of a single cohort. Results of this study pointed to significant differences between the proportion of males and females with a higher proportion of males at the colleges and a lower proportion of females at the same colleges. There was also a significant difference in the use of financial aid-excluding the GI Bill between military veterans and the general student population. However there was not a significant difference between military veterans and the general student population in consideration of the other success factors such as Grade Point Average (GPA), graduation rates, persistence, and full-time attendance, along with the difference in the age of the military veteran students.

Abstract:

The United States (U.S.) Army and the nation have a growing population of Hispanics. Yet Hispanics are still lagging in filling white-collar positions in the U.S. and Army. The Army has taken notice and implemented the Hispanic Access Initiative (HAI) through its Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) at colleges and universities that are classified as Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs). It has done this in order to recruit more Hispanic Officers into its Officer Corps.

This study follows seven Hispanic students and discusses their experiences with ROTC at an HSI. They faced the same issues many Hispanic students deal with when attending an institution of higher learning. In addition, they also had the added responsibility of completing all the required work for ROTC. In an effort to become leaders in the Army, these students overcame traditional challenges Hispanics face, and they graduated from college.

A qualitative study was conducted with the seven students to understand what made them successful in completing their four-year college degrees. Their phenomenological experiences highlighted four main themes from their responses: (a) challenges, (b) benefits, (c) support system, and (d) role models. These themes surfaced at one point or another throughout their education. In the end, the goal to graduate and be commissioned into the U.S. Army was reached by each of the former students.

As a result of this study, colleges and universities can look to ROTC to increase their graduation rates among Hispanic students. Since the Hispanic population is continuing to increase, it is in the interest of colleges to graduate more Hispanics in order to provide highly qualified graduates for a large number of white-collar jobs.

Abstract:
Esta investigação tem como principal objetivo identificar o perfil médio de valores humanos evidenciado nos alunos das Escolas Militares de Ensino Superior e verificar quais as variações observadas quando comparados os alunos das três instituições. A amostra deste estudo, recolhida por conveniência é constituída por 386 indivíduos, o que corresponde a aproximadamente 47,7% da população-alvo. A recolha de dados seguiu uma metodologia quantitativa, recorrendo a um inquérito por questionário para obtenção dos mesmos. O instrumento utilizado para este estudo foi a Escala de Valores de Schwartz (2003) e recorreu-se ao programa estatístico SPSS para tratamento dos dados quantitativos. Concluiu-se que os alunos das três instituições revelam níveis de valores que são, de um modo geral, semelhantes, demonstrando uma prevalência dos valores de Autotranscendência, representativos de indivíduos que demonstram preocupação pelo bem de outros, em particular aqueles de quem são próximos, e que consideram as consequências das suas ações perante os mesmos. Estes valores foram demonstrados em maior significância do que os de Autopromoção, que se associam à valorização do sucesso pessoal e do poder. Verificou-se também uma predisposição dos alunos para a novos desafios e independência, em maior proporção do que uma ideologia tradicionalista de conservação dos status quo. O estudo contribui para a literatura ao identificar o perfil de valores humanos associado aos alunos militares de ensino superior, permitindo que estes resultados possam ser utilizados como ferramenta de gestão por parte dos órgãos decisores. Na parte final deste trabalho, são apresentadas as limitações a que a investigação foi sujeita e recomendações para investigações futuras.
The main purpose of this research is to identify the average profile of human values evidenced by the students of Military Schools of Higher Education and to verify what are the variations observed when comparing the students of the three institutions. A convenience sample of 386 individuals was collected for this study, which corresponds to approximately 47.7% of the target population. Data gathering followed a quantitative methodology, by means of a survey. The instrument used for this study was the Schwartzʼs Values Scale (2003) and relied on the statistical program SPSS for quantitative data treatment. It was concluded that the students of the three institutions reveal, in general, similar levels of values. It was observed that there is a prevalence of values of Self-Transcendence, representative of students who show concern for the well-being of others, particularly of ones with whom they are close to, and who consider the consequences of their actions for these others. These values were demonstrated in greater proportion than Self-Enhancement, which is associated with the valuing of personal success and power. There was also a predisposition of students for new challenges and independence, greater in proportion than a traditional ideology of conservation of the status quo. The study contributes to the literature by identifying the profile of human values associated with higher education military students and allows these results to be used as a management tool by the decision-making bodies. In the final part of this work, the limitations that the investigation was subjected to are presented and recommendations are made for future investigations.

Abstract:
This study of perceptions of campus climate for Personal and Social Responsibility (PSR) evaluated the extent to which observable differences existed among campuses that had or did not have military cadets as their primary student population. Specifically, it looked at civilian colleges and universities and collegiate military academies such as the United States Military Academy at West Point (USMA) and the United States Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs (USAFA). The data sample for this study came from civilian-college students and cadets enrolled in 23 colleges and universities (which included USMA and USAFA) that were chosen by the Association of American Colleges and Universities to participate in the Personal and Social Responsibility Inventory (PSRI) during the 2007-08 school year. I measured the outcomes in this study by controlling for personal pre-college characteristics (i.e., highest level of parent’s education, race, gender, age, religious preference), structural variables of interest (i.e., campus size, campus selectivity, student class year, whether the school has a traditional honor code in place, whether the school is a military academy), and experience variables of interest (i.e., faculty/student interactions, meaningful discussions, public advocacy, efficacy of a judicial process). Results from this study revealed that cadets had an overall higher perception of campus climate for PSR than college students did. Cadets also had unique and positive communications with military academy educators compared to communications between civilian-college students and civilian educators. Finally, both student and cadet perceptions of PSR seemed to decrease as they progressed in class year.

Abstract:
Women have continually become more visible in the military. With the recent changes that now allow women to participate in direct combat occupations, various questions and concerns emerge about how the public perceives these new role changes for women. This exploratory-descriptive study examined the perceptions of 50 University social work student's (B.S.W. and M.S.W.) about women's roles in the military. This research was conducted using Qualtrics.com, and included demographic questions. Frequencies, chi-squares and cross tabulations were used to examine relationships between variables. The results indicated that although no significant relationship between these variables was found, other possible considerations on the topic emerged. One important, though not statistically significant finding of this study was that social work students are accepting of women in the military. This research has implications for social work education as well as, in practice. Evaluating social work student perceptions toward women serving in the military can lead to a better understanding of biases against women in military roles.

Full text
Abstract:

The U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics reported that about 660,000 Military Veteran Students (MVSs) were enrolled in undergraduate programs in 2009, making up about 3% of the student population. Despite the significant number of MVSs entering into college, instructional communication scholars have yet to study how military veterans experience classroom instruction. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of teacher accommodative and non-accommodative behaviors on MVSs' ( N = 162) perceptions of learning. Grounded in the Communication Accommodation Theory, this study supports an instructional model that predicts learner empowerment and affective learning via accommodative behaviors, as operationalized as teacher immediacy and teacher clarity, and non-accommodative behaviors, as operationalized as teacher aggressiveness. After controlling for military identity and teacher congruency, only teacher clarity and teacher congruency contribute significantly to both learner empowerment and affective learning. MVSs seem to feel more empowered and have higher affect toward the class if the teacher is clear and genuine, regardless of perceptions of teacher immediacy and aggressiveness. This dissertation concludes with practical advice for instructors and advisors who work with MVSs, as well as limitations of the study and directions for future research.

Full text
Abstract:

The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore what factors active duty military students perceived as having a positive or negative effect on their decision to persist or not continue in post-secondary education. Once the active duty military students’ perceptions were documented, they were compared to current research on academic persistence to determine if they tended to agree or disagree. The study used a modified version of Fiona MacKinnon-Slaney’s 1994 Adult Persistence in Learning (APIL) as a theoretical framework to examine the personal factors, environmental factors, institutional factors of the higher education institution, and institutional factors of the military. The participants in this study were all active duty military students enrolled in post-secondary education while serving on the USS JOHN C. STENNIS. There were 43 total participants in the study. 33 participants answered questionnaires and 10 took part in interviews with the researcher. Of the 43 participants, 5 were officers, 7 were senior enlisted (E-7 to E-9), 30 were enlisted (E-4 to E-6), and 1 was junior enlisted (E-1 to E-3). The research showed that active duty military students’ perceptions do not agree with current research on their persistence. They do not perceive themselves to be at-risk students (Beausoleil-Holt, 2009; Capps, 2011; Imagine America Foundation, 2009). Additionally, they do not see themselves as non-traditional students. Active duty military students’ responses provided more positive risk factors than negative risk factors, indicating they are essentially positive about their chances of persisting. In the personal factor, learning ability factor, and university factor categories of the modified APIL, active duty gave more positive risk factors than negative risk factors. However, under the military factor category they gave substantially more negative risk factors than positive risk factors. Active duty military students perceive the greatest negative risk factors to their persistence to be from uniquely military factors, which also disagrees with current research. Therefore, even though current research shows that active duty military students are at-risk and non-traditional students, they instead see themselves as students that face persistence risks that are unique to the military experience.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Tertiary institutions worldwide as well as locally have investigated sexual harassment on their campuses. This was done partly because of the negative consequences of sexual harassment on students and staff, particularly their work performance. Incidents of sexual harassment reported at universities range from rape and sexual assault to threats and sexist remarks by lecturers. When researching this phenomenon, difficulty is normally encountered partly due to the uncertainty that surrounds this activity. This is because perceptions differ as to what kind of conduct constitutes sexual harassment. Research further indicates that there are gender and racial differences in the assessment of sexual harassment. The current study investigates the uncertainty, gender and racial differences that exist regarding sexual harassment at a specific university campus. By means of a survey the perceptions of students regarding these three issues were determined at the Faculty of Military Science, a satellite campus of the University of Stellenbosch. With the utilisation of statistlcal packages, frequencies and statistical differences amongst the various sub-groups at the campus were determined. This was done in order to compare these findings with those of other universities who conducted similar sexual harassment surveys on their campuses in South Africa. It was found that no clear idea of what constitutes sexual harassment exist amongst these students. In particular women in the survey consistently viewed more incidents as contributing to sexual harassment than men. As oppose to other findings, Blacks registered a more conservative attitude when assessing whether certain incidents can be viewed as sexual harassment. The above was found notwithstanding the differing social context, especially the socialisation process and the fairly rigid codes of conduct, that students at the Military Academy are exposed to.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Verskeie tersiêre instellings, wêreldwyd sowel as plaaslik, het seksuele teistering op hul kampusse ondersoek. Dit was deels gedoen as gevolg van die negatiewe gevolge wat hierdie aktiwiteit op studente en personeellede het, veralop hul werksprestasie. Gerapporteerde insidente by universiteite wissel vanaf verkragting en seksuele aanvalle tot dreigemente en seksistiese opmerkings deur dosente. Probleme is ondervind tydens navorsing oor die verskynsel wat deels toegeskryf kan word aan die onsekerheid wat hierdie aktiwiteit omhul. Dit hou verband met persepsies wat verskil ten opsigte van die soort gedrag wat seksuele teistering teenwoordig. Navorsing wys verder daarop dat geslags- en rasverskille bestaan by die assesering van seksuele teistering. Die huidige studie ondersoek die onsekerheid, geslags- en rasverskille ten opsigte van seksuele teistering by 'n spesifieke universiteitskampus. Deur middel van 'n opname word die persepsies van studente rakende die drie kwessies bepaal by die Fakulteit Krygskunde, 'n satelietkampus van die Universiteit van Stellenbosch. Met behulp van statistiese pakkette, word frekwensies en statistiese verskille tussen die verskillende subgroepe op die kampus bepaal. Dit was gedoen ten einde in staat te wees om die bevindinge te vergelyk met die van ander Suid-Afrikaanse universiteite wat seksuele teistering opnames op hul kampusse gedoen het. Daar word bevind dat geen duidelike idee van wat seksuele teistering behels bestaan onder die studente nie. In besonder word bevind dat vroue in die opname deurlopend meer insidente aanslaan as seksuele teistering, as mans. In teenstelling met ander bevindinge, registreer swart persone 'n meer konserwatiewe houding wanneer bepaal word of sekere insidente seksueel teisterend van aard is, al dan nie. Bogenoemde was bevind desondanks die eiesoortige sosiale konteks waarin studente hulself bevind, veral die sosialiseringsproses en die redelike streng gedragskodes, waaraan studente van die Militêre Akademie onderwerp word.

Abstract:
As military dependent students relocate, they enroll in multiple schools throughout their K-12 experience. Frequent mobility can create gaps in achievement. The challenge in the local setting is meeting the needs of military dependent students scoring below grade level standards in math. The purpose of the formative evaluation was to determine the effectiveness of the Personalized Education Plan (PEP) program and propose refinements. The conceptual framework included goal setting, motivation, engagement, and self-regulation. The concurrent multi-methods study included a central research question on whether a PEP increased student math scores. Questions about student motivation, engagement, self-regulation, and goal setting followed. Eighteen out of 30 teachers from 2 schools completed an online questionnaire about the PEP program and impact on students. Measures of Academic Performance (MAP) math scores were collected on all students. Quantitative data analysis included a paired samples t test which showed a statistically significant (p <.001) increase between math scores before and after implementation of the PEP. An independent samples t test showed military dependent student scores were slightly higher than for nonmilitary students, but not statistically significant (p > .05). Qualitative analysis of teacher questionnaire data revealed themes in student motivation, engagement, and self-regulation. Evaluation results recommended the district change the PEP program to support continued implementation. The findings contribute to social change by providing critical information that may assist other districts in creating effective goal setting programs for military dependent students.

Brock, Marilyn. ""The Mission Always Comes First"| A Phenomenological Study of Active Military Students in Online Community College Courses." Thesis, Pepperdine University, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10788410.

Full text
Abstract:

The focus of this study was to develop greater understanding about the unique experiences of active-duty military soldiers who are taking online courses. The qualitative phenomenological study was comprised of online active military (OAM) students taking undergraduate college level courses offered by the Distance Learning Military Programs at a Californian community college. Six participants volunteered while taking online courses from various locations around the world, including sites that were located in an increased zone of conflict. The study’s results provided information that may assist with improving future military students’ learning experiences while they are facing the conflicts associated with military service.

The results included themes defined as: online learning experience, personal traits & goals, support systems, conflict of work/ life balance, organizational skills & coping mechanisms. The data collected was documented, analyzed and divided into themes that illustrated the potential conflicts and solutions specifically related to the study’s sample. The data collected may assist in providing more qualitative study-based framework for research to improve active military students’ online learning success.

Three conclusions resulted from the study. First, the learning experience and successful completion of online community college courses by active military students can be supported by college/professors by maintaining a positive online classroom environment, self-pacing options and flexibility with deadlines. Second, organizational strategies and healthy conflict coping mechanisms are key to the successful completion of online community college courses by active military students. Third, challenges/conflicts related to active military students online community college course learning and completion are inevitable but can be addressed through: active management of conflict and supporting or motivational factors and increased focus on integration between student and military roles, including deployment.

Abstract:

Following the passage of the Post-9/11 G.I. Bill in 2008, U.S. military service members and veterans have been enrolling at institutions of higher education at rapidly increasing rates (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, 2014). As a result, campus administrators and mental health professionals are seeking new and better ways to support this growing population (Coll & Weiss, 2015). The few existing studies on the mental health of military-affiliated students suggest they feel isolated on campus (DiRamio, Ackerman, & Mitchell, 2008) and are more likely than civilian peers to experience depression, posttraumatic stress (PTS), and suicidal ideation (Barry, Whiteman, McDermid Wadsworth, & Hitt, 2012; Rudd, Goulding, & Bryan, 2011). The current study explored the role of two different types of on-campus peer social support—military and civilian—in mediating the relationship between adult attachment orientation and posttraumatic stress, as well as its correlate, hazardous alcohol use. Data was collected via Web-based, self-report survey from 221 military and veteran students across the United States. Latent variable path analyses indicated that civilian peer social support mediated the relationship between attachment anxiety and PTS, but only partially, underscoring the enduring role of adult attachment orientation in the response to trauma. Psychometric issues limited the testing of models that included military peer social support. Results are discussed in the context of potential on-campus counseling interventions and resources.

Abstract:
Residential relocation requiring a change of school enrollment can negatively disrupt academic achievement, extracurricular participation, attendance, and ability to appropriately regulate emotions/behaviors. This disruption impacts military-affiliated students every 2 to 3 years. The purpose of this study was to quantitatively inform Student 2 Student’s (S2S’s) continued development and the Military Child Education Coalition’s (MCEC’s) pursuit of better serving newly relocated students. This will help the program to reach beyond good intentions and mitigate the perils of assuming that benefits occur without quantitative support. The three-factory model of Academic Resiliency was used as the theoretical framework guiding this study. Two American public high schools with similar demographics were requested to provide data for all new 9th through 12th graders, who enrolled in the school district for the first time during the 2018-19 academic year. A Mann-Whitney U was used to compare grade point averages (GPA), attendance percentages, number of extracurricular activities, and number of behavioral referrals for 179 students at a school with S2S to 97 students at a school without S2S. The 2 groups showed statistically significant differences across all 4 dependent variables. For example, the S2S group showed higher levels of extracurricular participation and fewer behavioral referrals than the control group. Additionally, a positive relationship between attendance and GPA was supported for the control group more than the S2S group. Overall, the results of this study quantitatively inform S2S’s continued development and the MCEC’s pursuit of better serving newly relocated students worldwide, which assists to create positive social change.

The U.S. military recruitment was deeply influenced by social stratification, leading the gap between the military and civil society. To adapt to changes in economic and social conditions, Taiwan’s military has been planning to convert Taiwan's military into an all-volunteer force. At the same time when we are worry about whether the composition of our army has followed the footsteps of the United States, this study would like to investigate the student composition of the basic military academies more deeply. About 20 years ago, Chen and Lei’s survey indicated that most of the military academies students were from middle and low-class families. Will the results be different, if the survey been redo again? This study aims to investigate the family backgrounds and enlistment motivations of the current students in military academies, and further evaluate the influence of the social stratification in military academies students. The study’s design is based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory. Using the questionnaire survey method, 860 questionnaires were disseminated and all recovered in this study, and there were 851 usable questionnaires. The subjects are students from grade 1 to 4 of the undergraduate departments of military academies, using random sampling surveys. The major findings are as follow: 1. The recognition of military academies students’ military motivations were influenced by their fathers’ educational degree and significantly differences by every aspect of Maslow’s hierarchy needs. 2. The relation between Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and enlistment motivations is not significantly influenced by parents’ occupation. 3 .Military academies students agreed with the influence of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, and the “safety” needs had the lowest agreement. 4. The socioeconomic status of military academies students were not influenced by stratification.

Diet is the basis of health. Balanced diet not only provides our body’s basic physiological needs but also serves as an important indicator of self-health management. The military university students will be leading military officers of our country. Their health will affect the national combat power and the future of country. There are no data showing military university students’ risky dietary behaviors in Taiwan. Therefore the purpose of this study is to identify the predictions for risky dietary behaviors of military university students using the Theory of Reasoned Action and Self-efficacy.This study was a cross-sectional research design. Four thousands and four hundreds and eighty students were reunited from seven military universities in Taiwan. The structured questionnaires including demographics, nutritional knowledge, attitude toward the risky dietary behavior, subjective norm of the risky dietary behavior, self-efficacy, and risky dietary behavior were used for data collection. There were 4,351 acceptable questionnaires (97% of all participants). Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics including mean, percentage, standard deviation, frequency and inferential statistics including Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analyses. P <.05 was considered as statistically significant. The results of the study revealed as follows: 1. The relationships among the demographical variables including personal factors (gender, BMI and exercise hours per week), family factors (marriage status of students' parents and family socioeconomic status), school factors (school and grade), nutritional knowledge and risky dietary behavior were statistical significance. 2. The relationships among the attitude toward the risky dietary behavior, subjective norm of the risky dietary behavior and risky dietary behavior were significantly positive. On the contary, the relationship between self-efficacy and risky dietary behavior was significantly negative. 3. The significant predictors of risky dietary behavior were gender, BMI, marriage status of students' parents, family socioeconomic status, school, grade, nutritional knowledge, attitude toward the risky dietary behavior, subjective norm of the risky dietary behavior and self-efficacy. 4. After demographical variables being adjusted, the attitude toward the risky dietary behavior, subjective norm of the risky dietary behavior and self-efficacy were explained 19.2% total variation of risky dietary behavior. The results of this study will be the reference to develop preventive strategies for the military university students' risky dietary behavior and related influential factors. They will also serve as a tool to monitor the military university student s' risky behavior in the future. The health status of the students will thus be improved and medical costs be reduced.

National security maintenance cannot be borne solely by the military. Modern national defense must be based on the concept of "national defense" and achieve the overall strength through the participation of all citizens in different fields. Western proverbs: "Education is the cheapest defense". In addition to strengthening the consensus and civil defense forces of the national defense, education through different means is also an effective way to enlighten people's concern and participation in national defense affairs. In order to stimulate students' interest in national defense education, the study asked participants (students) to search for relevant materials in the online bookstore, and then use the GOOGLE questionnaire to fill out and collect military books and materials that high school students like. Then, the project-based collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm is used to calculate the similarity, and the book with the highest similarity is fed back to the students as the recommendation result. Finally, use the chi-square test to verify. Based on the recommendation results generated by the recommendation mechanism, this study comprehensively lists the list of recommended books for military books, provides the most suitable extracurricular military books for high school students, enhances the interest of high school students in military and national defense themes, and enhances the practice of national defense.

The system of military service plays an essential role in national defense and security. However, it has changed the recruiting policy from conscription to volunteer since 1992. The enlistment is always a crucial issue to national defense policy. This study aims to investigate the significant reforms government done for the military service system in recent years. The reforms affect on the period, regulations and rights of military service which may cause the difficulty for people to understand the operation of the national defense. In the circumstance of the social change, volunteer military recruitment and negative image of the military, the transformation and security of national defense were profoundly influenced. In addition to raising students’ awareness of national defense, changing the thought on the national defense affairs, and learning the importance of national defense, this research provides relevant solutions to the low recruiting rate and enhance the image of the national military system. The respondent was the students of the high school where the author was served before. The survey was conducted through a qualitative study of in-depth interviews and focused on the respondent's background, level of education, and thinking of the enlistment. This research found that after the military recruitment was changed from conscription to volunteer military, the issues of “environment”, “salary”, “career development”, “dignity”, “social status”, and “veterans’ employment and training service” are the main factors that affect young graduates or young people to join the volunteer military service.

A implementação da contabilidade de gestão no Exército é uma ambição antiga da Administração Militar, adiada pelas reestruturações dos últimos 20 anos, e pela inexistência de condições financeiras e politicas que permitissem investimentos na criação do sistema. Com a implementação do POCP e a implementação no Ministério da Defesa duma plataforma informática modular de apoio à gestão, o Sistema Integrado de Gestão, sendo um da contabilidade de gestão, nasceu a oportunidade desta se implementar no Exército. Após obter informação sobre a prática já existente no Exército dos Estados Unidos da América, optei pela criação de um sistema baseado no Activity Based Costing. Após entrevista realizada com a entidade gestora da implementação do módulo de contabilidade de gestão, o Centro de Finanças Geral, optou-se por seleccionar a Academia Militar como unidade piloto. Esta é uma unidade com características especiais, responsável pelas licenciaturas e mestrados dos futuros oficiais do Exército, existindo uma variedade de actividades, objectos de custeio e recursos que não se encontram noutras unidades, tornando mais complexa uma implementação deste tipo. Identificou-se uma cadeia de valor constituída por três categorias de actividades, atribuindo o sistema proposto os custos a um leque alargado de objectos de custeio, que são os alunos e as missões específicas da Academia Militar: • Primárias – Actividades envolvidas directamente com os objectos de custeio, sendo os seus custos possíveis de atribuir directamente aos objectos de custeio; • Apoio – Actividades que sustentam as actividades primárias e cujos custos podem ser atribuídos através de cost drivers; • Suporte - Actividades que suportam as actividades de apoio e que não estão directamente ligadas com as actividades primárias e cujos custos só podem ser alocados arbitrariamente aos objectos de custeio. Identificaram-se também dois tipos de custos: • Custos directos – passíveis de serem alocados directamente aos objectos de custeio; • Custos comuns – Custos com o funcionamento dos centros de custo. Os custos comuns das actividades de suporte e de apoio, são atribuíveis aos objectos através de cost dr ivers para cada nível de actividades, sendo que os custos das actividades de suporte são atribuídos às actividades de apoio e os custos desta às actividades primárias.
The implementation of accounting management in the Army is an old ambition of the Military Administration, postponed by organizational changes in the past 20 years, and the lack of financial conditions and policies that would permit investments to create the system. With the implementation of POCP and the implementation in the Ministry of Defence of a modular computing platform to support management, the Integrated System of Management, with one module to accounting management, as born the opportunity to implement this system in the Army. After obtaining information on the existing practice in the United States Army, I have chosen for the creation of a system based on Activity Based Costing. After interview with the managing body of the entity responsible for the implementation of management accounting module, the Center for Finance General, has been chosen to select the Military Academy as a pilot unit. This is a unit with special features, responsible for the degree and masters of future officers of the Army, there are a variety of activities, cost objects and resources that are not in other units, making it more complex this type of implementation. It was identified a value chain that consists of three categories of activities, and the proposed system assigns costs to a wide range of cost objects, who are students and the specific missions of the Military Academy: • Primary - Activities involved directly with the cost objects, and their costs can be allocate directly to the objects of cost; • Support - Activities that support the primary activities and whose costs can be allocated through cost drivers; • Sustain - Activities that sustain the support activities and which are not directly connected with the primary activities and whose costs can only be allocated arbitrarily to cost objects. It also identified two types of costs: • Direct costs – costs which can be allocated directly to the cost objects; • Common costs - costs with centers of cost operation. VII The common costs of activities in support and sustain, are attributable to objects through cost drivers for each level of activities: the costs of sustain activities are allocated for supporting activities and the costs of supporting activities are allocated to primary activities.
