This book was released on 2015-04-06 with total page 1120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essential reference for human development theory, updated and reconceptualized The Handbook of Child Psychology and Developmental Science, a four-volume reference, is the field-defining work to which all others are compared. First published in 1946, and now in its Seventh Edition, the Handbook has long been considered the definitive guide to the field of developmental science. Volume 3: Social, Emotional, and Personality Development presentsup-to-date knowledge and theoretical understanding of the several facets of social, emotional and personality processes. The volume emphasizes that any specific processes, function, or behavior discussed in the volume co-occurs alongside and is inextricably affected by the dozens of other processes, functions, or behaviors that are the focus of other researchers' work. As a result, the volume underscores the importance of a focus on the whole developing child and his or her sociocultural and historical environment. Understand the multiple processes that are interrelated in personality development Discover the individual, cultural, social, and economic processes that contribute to the social, emotional, and personality development of individuals Learn about the several individual and contextual contributions to the development of such facets of the individual as morality, spirituality, or aggressive/violent behavior Study the processes that contribute to the development of gender, sexuality, motivation, and social engagement The scholarship within this volume and, as well, across the four volumes of this edition, illustrate that developmental science is in the midst of a very exciting period. There is a paradigm shift that involves increasingly greater understanding of how to describe, explain, and optimize the course of human life for diverse individuals living within diverse contexts. This Handbook is the definitive reference for educators, policy-makers, researchers, students, and practitioners in human development, psychology, sociology, anthropology, and neuroscience.

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The study was designed to determine the extent to which individual and institutional support variables can predict Latino/a students' successful completion of high school and enrollment in post-secondary institutions in the U.S. Current research suggests that the Hispanic population will constitute approximately 25% of the national workforce in the USA by the year 2050. However, according to the NCES (2002) data, the high level of dropout rates from high school among Latino/a (11.5 for males and 10.3 for females) is alarming. The study examined individual student factors as well as institutional and family variables that may enhance the likelihood of Latino/a students' completion of secondary education and enrollment in post-secondary institutions. Using the 2002-2006 Education Longitudinal Study data, consisting of a sample of 2,217 Latino/a students, the binary logistic regression model identified students' socioeconomic status, their educational aspirations as well as the aspirations of their parents, and school support programs to be significant predictors of high school completion as well as enrollment in post-secondary education. The findings indicate significant differences between the predictive power of the individual and institutional variables on the completion of high school and enrollment in post-secondary institutions of first, second and third generations of Latino/a students in the U.S. In this study, females of first and second generation Latino/a students were found to be two times more likely than males in the same group to complete high school on time. This trend did not apply to third generation female students who were found to be less likely than males of the same group to complete high school on time, with males holding 20% more chances of completion of high school. The presence of institutional based Dropout Prevention Programs was significantly associated with less likelihood of Completion of High School and Enrollment in Post-Secondary Institution across all generation of Latino/a students. The presence of Mentoring Programs was found to significantly predict Completion of High School only for second and third generation of students, and Enrollment in Post-Secondary Institutions only for third generation Latino/a students. The model correctly classified approximately 79 percent of the observations. The findings contribute towards drawing new conclusions regarding Latino/a students' completion of high school and their enrollment in post-secondary institutions in the U.S. The study also informs educational policies regarding school environment and institutional support available for Latino/a students in the U.S. The study recommends that schools should design targeted support programs in order to enhance Latino/a students' success beyond high school. Further research to study the phenomenon of Latino/a students' completion of high school and enrollment in post-secondary institutions, targeting areas with high concentration of Latino/as in the U.S. is recommended.

Book excerpt: The Toolbox Revisited is a data essay that follows a nationally representative cohort of students from high school into postsecondary education, and asks what aspects of their formal schooling contribute to completing a bachelor's degree by their mid-20s. The universe of students is confined to those who attended a four-year college at any time, thus including students who started out in other types of institutions, particularly community colleges.
Download or read book Latinization of U S Schools written by Jason Irizarry and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-03 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fueled largely by significant increases in the Latino population, the racial, ethnic, and linguistic texture of the United States is changing rapidly. Nowhere is this 'Latinisation' of America more evident than in schools. The dramatic population growth among Latinos in the United States has not been accompanied by gains in academic achievement. Estimates suggest that approximately half of Latino students fail to complete high school, and few enroll in and complete college. The Latinization of U.S. Schools centres on the voices of Latino youth. It examines how the students themselves make meaning of the policies and practices within schools. The student voices expose an inequitable opportunity structure that results in depressed academic performance for many Latino youth. Each chapter concludes with empirically based recommendations for educators seeking to improve their practice with Latino youth, stemming from a multiyear participatory action research project conducted by Irizarry and the student contributors to the text.

This book was released on 2006-02-23 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hispanics and the Future of America presents details of the complex story of a population that varies in many dimensions, including national origin, immigration status, and generation. The papers in this volume draw on a wide variety of data sources to describe the contours of this population, from the perspectives of history, demography, geography, education, family, employment, economic well-being, health, and political engagement. They provide a rich source of information for researchers, policy makers, and others who want to better understand the fast-growing and diverse population that we call "Hispanic." The current period is a critical one for getting a better understanding of how Hispanics are being shaped by the U.S. experience. This will, in turn, affect the United States and the contours of the Hispanic future remain uncertain. The uncertainties include such issues as whether Hispanics, especially immigrants, improve their educational attainment and fluency in English and thereby improve their economic position; whether growing numbers of foreign-born Hispanics become citizens and achieve empowerment at the ballot box and through elected office; whether impending health problems are successfully averted; and whether Hispanics' geographic dispersal accelerates their spatial and social integration. The papers in this volume provide invaluable information to explore these issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study assesses the ways in which Latina students experience racialized and gendered school climate and how those experiences may influence the way in which they make meaning of their postsecondary opportunities. Interviews were held with seven urban public high school students to recognize their lived experiences, pinpoint specific ways that race and gender show up on school campuses, and understand how that culture influences how they think about life after high school. The following research questions grounded this study. 1. How does racial and gendered school climate shape Latinas' schooling experience? 2. In what ways do these racial and gendered school experiences influence Latinas' postsecondary pathways? The research questions supported an exploration into the young women's stories of how they experienced racialized and gendered school environments, the interactions that shaped their experiences, and how they situated their own hopes and dreams within that context. The conceptual framework draws on critical race theory, Latinx critical theory, and community cultural wealth theory to understand how underrepresented students, in this case Latina students, are marginalized within their academic setting. It also recognizes the impossibility of separating the intersectionality of race, class, gender, immigration, and sexuality when students have multiple pieces to their identity, as was true with the participants. The literature review discusses the educational pipeline for Latina students, effects of racialized and gendered school climates, and how schooling experiences shape Latinas postsecondary pathways. The first finding, which addressed the first research question, was that Latina students perceived that given their race and gender they received poor and inferior academic preparation and few school support services throughout their high school years. For a few participants this led to school disengagement. As Latinxs attending lower performing schools, they felt that teachers, counselors, and volunteers sent signals to them that they were not as smart as White and Asian students, were not college-going material, and were destined to become young mothers who did not want to further their education. Often these messages also included negative statements about newcomer students, indicating that they were not welcome in this country. These impressions led participants to lack trust in adults at school. Their gendered experiences focused on signals by teachers that they were being easier on them because they were girls. They also dealt with intense "toxic masculinity" among their male peers that questioned their intelligence, made them feel unsafe at school, and hindered their desire to speak up and fully participate in class. Together, these experiences created toxic school climates. The second major finding, addressing the second research question, was that it appears that the racialized and gendered school experiences do influence how participants thought about their postsecondary opportunities. With limited college counseling and weaker adult-student relationships, there seemed to be fewer people whom the students could connect with about their plans and what to do during their high school years to prepare. Several of the participants received consistent messages that they were not smart enough for college and could not afford college. This ultimately led to thinking that college was not a viable option after high school. These messages were compounded both at school and at home through stereotypical assumptions and conversations that presumed Latinas would become mothers and only need to know how to take care of a family. The third major finding, also addressing the second research question, was that regardless of the racial and gendered challenges participants faced, they spoke of their aspirations for a better future with greater opportunities. They were resisting and wanted to continue to resist the stereotypes placed on them as Latinas. They wanted to have professional careers and be able to support themselves and, if they wanted them, their families. They did not want to have lives that waited for men to take care of them. They wanted to move to "better" neighborhoods and knew that having an education was an important step to achieve their goals. They were clear about what holds them back and spoke to the aspirational, navigation, and resistance capital that allowed them to make sense of their experiences while trying to drive them toward a future they desired. The final chapter outlines the implications of this research study on policy, practice, and future inquiry. There is increased interest about the importance of school climate from an equity and inclusion standpoint in the education field. The policy, practice, and research implications provide opportunity to deepen work in this emerging area.
