AbstractDepression is a problem in the student population and may impact students of any age, gender and ethnicity. Previous studies have indicated student demographic characteristics are associated with depression; however, these studies have not utilised scales specifically designed to measure depression in the student population. The aim of the present study was to use the recently developed University Student Depression Inventory (USDI; Khawaja & Bryden, 2006) to examine the effect of demographic factors on student depression. Australian university students (N = 287) completed the USDI and a demographic form that measured student age, gender, ethnicity, year-level, faculty, enrolment status, relationship status, employment-status, satisfaction with their financial position and accommodation. A series of t tests and one-way ANOVAs indicated depression was higher among females, students enrolled part-time, students working full-time, and those enrolled in the Faculty of Law. Students who were satisfied with their financial position and accommodation were significantly less depressed than those who were unsatisfied. The findings highlight the varying effect of different demographic factors on depression using the USDI. These findings are important for identifying and developing strategies to assist those student groups who may be at a greater risk of developing depression.

Positive school climate is a key determinant factor of students’ psychological well-being, safety, and academic achievement. Although researchers have examined the validity of school climate measures, there is a dearth of research investigating differences in student perceptions of school climate across race and ethnicity. This study evaluated the factor stability of a widely used school climate survey using factor analyses and measurement invariance techniques across racial/ethnic groups. Results of a confirmatory factor analysis indicated a five-factor structure for a school climate survey and weak measurement invariance was found across Hispanic, Black, and White student groups (ΔCFI = .008). According to paired t-tests, significant differences were found among racial/ethnic respondent groups across two factors: teacher and school effectiveness and sense of belonging and care. Validated school climate measures that are culturally and racially responsive to students’ experiences allow for accurate interpretations of school climate data. Discussion and implications are provided.

The remarkable yet untold story of the straggles to democratize African political systems is that they owe much of their recent success to the pivotal role played by university student groups and faculty associations as animateurs of protest demonstrations, debates about issues deemed taboo by the state, and as organizers of militant campus movements. At a time when most associational groups were banned or rendered politically impotent by being incorporated into existing state structures in order for them to serve state interests, secondary and university student groups and faculties remained virtually the only sources of pressure and protest against authoritarian regimes on the continent. Thus, from Dakar to Nairobi, from Addis Ababa to Harare, student movements and demonstrations, fought pitched battles with state security personnel and stimulated civilian opposition movements.

Data for 3 university student groups ( ns = 76, 46, 77) are presented showing relationships between the Adjective Check List and the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule scored for 15 of the Murray needs. A considerable number of significant correlations of low absolute value were found. In general, the two measures seem empirically to have very little common meaning.

AbstractEducation is rapidly evolving from co-located settings to remote and online learning. However, many proven educational tools are designed for collaborative, co-located classroom work. Effective sketching and ideating tools, such as card-based workshop tools, cannot be applied in remote teaching.This paper explores how the paper-based card and playboard metaphor can be digitized for remote student co-creation via video call sessions. Therefore, a card-based toolkit for co-creating educational games is transformed into a digital representation for remote application. In a between-subject trial with two university student groups (n = 61), it is investigated how users perceive ideation/balancing support and applicability of the technology-enhanced card toolset compared to the paper-based variant. Both groups thereby created an analytic game concept for privacy education.The results remarkably revealed that remote co-creation using the technology-enhanced card and playboard in video call sessions was perceived as significantly more supportive for ideation and game concept balancing. Students also felt more confident to apply the digitized card toolset independently while being more satisfied with their created game concepts. The designed educational game concepts showed comparable patterns between the groups and disclosed the students’ preferences on how games for privacy education should be designed and when and where they would like to play them. Conclusively, design implications for digital card ideation toolsets were synthesized from the findings.

Zusammenfassung: Einer größeren Lehrerstichprobe (N = 434), die hinsichtlich verschiedener demographischer Merkmale heterogen ist, wird der AVEM (Arbeitsbezogenes Verhaltens- und Erlebensmuster; Schaarschmidt & Fischer, 1996 , 1997 ) vorgelegt. Als Kriteriumsvariablen werden körperliche Beschwerden, Fehltage, berufliche Belastungen, Pensionierungsabsichten sowie Organizational Citizenship Behavior ( Organ, 1988 ) erfragt. Teilstichproben beantworten zusätzlich Skalen zu Copingverhalten, Sozialer Unterstützung, Kompetenzerwartung sowie eine an den Lehrerberuf adaptierte Version des Job Diagnostic Survey ( Hackman & Oldham, 1980 ). Faktoren- und Reliabilitätsanalysen replizieren die Ergebnisse von Schaarschmidt und Fischer. Eine Clusteranalyse ergibt vier Muster, von denen drei Muster der von Schaarschmidt und Fischer postulierten Einteilung entsprechen; ein viertes Muster weicht von dieser Klassifikation ab. Eine zweite Studie mit N = 283 Lehrerinnen und Lehrern kann die Lösung der ersten Clusteranalyse replizieren. Die Zusammenhänge belegen insgesamt eine gute konvergente, diskriminante und Kriteriumsvalidität und weisen den AVEM als brauchbares Messinstrument zur Analyse von Belastung und Beanspruchung im Lehrerberuf aus.
