Juvenile Violence

Este estudo de caso integra uma investigação mais abrangente na área da violência e criminalidade e analisa a construção narrativa das vivências de violência na escola, relatadas por um grupo de reclusos portugueses, tendo como pano de fundo seus percursos escolares. Os dez participantes, com idade entre 19 e 46 anos, foram entrevistados nos Açores. Foi utilizado um roteiro de entrevista, especificamente construído para esta investigação, com o conjunto de tópicos a serem abordados em tom informal. O tratamento de dados de nível descritivo e interpretativo seguiu a Análise de Conteúdo segundo Bardin e centrou-se em dados retrospectivos, colhidos por entrevista, relativos a episódios específicos de violência e bullying em contexto escolar. Foram identificados quatro tipos distintos de percursos de violência infantil e juvenil, principalmente bullying, envolvendo vítima e agressor, defensor da vítima, vítima com coping eficaz e observador passivo. O estudo analisa os fatores de desencadeamento e manutenção desses percursos, com impacto no desempenho escolar, bem como discute as implicações para a prevenção secundária e o diagnóstico diferencial.

Multilingual Approach

Throughout the history of mankind, language has been used as a tool of ascendance and colonisation to consolidate power and create governable subjects. In this way, the coloniser's language became the colonised country's official language. Upon attaining political independence, several of these nation-states embarked on educational reforms by revising their curricula in the name of ‘decolonising education'. A closer look at these countries' curricula shows they are still largely Eurocentric following the monolingual ideology of ‘one nation, one language' with foreign languages being the lingua franca for these multilingual societies despite this approach being singled out as the major cause of academic underachievement in most countries. This chapter investigates the available technological approaches to support the teaching of science to English foreign language (EFL) students who are taught through a language different from their home language.

Barriers To Parental Involvement

This article summarizes the educational rights of homeless children and youth afforded by the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act. It also describes the educational problems they confront, including academic underachievement and poor school attendance. Factors that exacerbate these outcomes of homelessness are delineated: barriers to accessing schooling and appropriate services; multiple movements between schools; insensitivity of school personnel; barriers to parental involvement; and difficulties in obtaining school clothes and supplies. The extent to which existing laws adequately address identified needs, problems, and barriers is discussed. Gaps in policies and practices are identified and recommendations for social policy changes presented.
