A Factor Analysis of Neighborhood Factors and Their Impact on Educational Outcomes
The study leverages the Building Dreams technology platform, which aggregates data on observed student behavior and links observations to core values of Social and Emotional Learning. During the fall 2023 semester, 34,808 data points for 443 students in grades 3 to 6 across two urban K-12 schools in Indiana were used. Few studies have comprehensively examined how multiple external factors collectively influence academic performance. A partnership…
Embracing change
In a world characterized by dynamic demographic shifts, rapid technological transformations, and evolving pedagogical practices, the need for reimagining school attendance and a relationship with education has become paramount. This Research Topic, boldly titled “The Unlearning of School Attendance: Ideas for Change,” compels us to challenge conventional thinking and working in this domain. The collection of 12 articles offers compelling opportun…
Effect of Racial Discrimination Activated at Teacher–Student Interaction Context on Academic Self-Efficacy
This study uses latent transitional analysis to examine the longitudinal association between racial discrimination and academic self-efficacy in teacher–student interactions. Two levels of teacher–student interactions are examined: low-risk, in which students perceive no probability of racial discrimination, and high-risk, in which students perceive probability of racial discrimination. Participants were drawn from the Maryland Adolescent Develop…
Being a Square Among Circles—The Role of Hope in Expanding the Conceptualization of School Attendance Problems
Mediational Effect of Teacher-Based Discrimination on Academic Performance
Drawing on prior research, this study applies an intersectional framework to investigate discrimination in the context of teacher–student relationships and its influence on students’ academic outcomes. Outcomes assessed were inclusive of self-efficacy, school attendance, and grade point average (GPA). For this analysis, structural equation modeling was used with a cross-sectional sample of the Maryland and Adolescent Development in Context Study …
Master social work students’ explicit and implicit articulation of theory
Theories that explain Human Behavior and the Social Environment are integral to social workers’ conceptualization of their role and practice. Scaffolding the capacity to recognize, apply, and evaluate theory, however, is not easy. Learning how to comprehend and accurately apply theory can be a real struggle for graduate students enrolled in a Masters of Social Work (MSW) program. The purpose of this study was to identify and categorize patterns o…
A Change in the Frame
School attendance is important for student long-term academic and career success. However, in the U.S., our current practice often disenfranchises more at-risk students than it helps. Students slated for suspension and expulsion are often recipients of these practices. This manuscript offers a recommended change in how we frame student absenteeism and attendance using attendance markers and conceptual information by identifying the discrepancies,…
Transformative school–community collaboration as a positive school climate to prevent school absenteeism
School absenteeism has become a prevalent problem that affects student development and future societies across the world. We examined whether and how the framework for transformative school–community collaboration (TSCC) can be utilized to effectively reduce school absenteeism. To achieve this goal, we analyzed clustered data involving 3428 students within 14 schools that collaborated with communities in providing out‐of‐school time programs. A g…
Differentiation Between School Attendance Problems
Comprehensive assessment of youth violence in five Caribbean countries
Differences in gender and age have been established in the context of crime, violence, and prevalence of risk and protective factors. These studies are often notable only in the Western Hemisphere. Despite growth in crime and violence in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), relatively little understanding of violence in CARICOM member states exists. In light of these concerns, the major purposes of this study include: (1) comprehensively assessing …
A Critical Review of Theory in Social Work Journals
The purpose of this paper is multifold.Key aspects discussed include exploring the extent of theory discussion and progression in social work journals for the year 2004; discussing the necessity of theory in social work research and practice; reviewing previous research literature regarding evaluation of theory discussion and progression; proposing criteria for defining theory in social work journals; and presenting findings from the current stud…
