Abstract

The increasing complexity of the labor market and advancements in the 20th technological order present challenges for the social development of students with disabilities because traditional education systems often fail to provide adequate career preparation and social integration. Inclusive universities play a crucial role in bridging this gap by implementing structured social development management systems that enhance students' career readiness and personal growth. This study aims to develop a conceptual approach for managing the social development of students with disabilities, ensuring their successful transition into professional and social environments. The research employed historical, pedagogical, and psychological analysis, incorporating mentoring, project-based learning, and inclusive education theories to develop an adaptive management model. The results indicate that targeted career planning, employer engagement, and self-actualization strategies significantly improve student outcomes because they align education with real-world demands. The findings confirm that a structured approach to managing social development enhances employment prospects and social well-being, making inclusive education a more effective pathway for students with disabilities.

Abstract

The Nigerian university system is experiencing high levels of disturbing mental health-related issues. The above scenario calls for concern about the mental health status of Nigerian students. The study seeks to explore the perception of students concerning disturbing mental health issues from the viewpoint of school-related factors. Two purposes, research questions, and two hypotheses guided the study. The study employed a survey research design. The study revealed that; the fear of failure in school, pressure from parents, pressure from teachers, academic pressure, school workload, and relationship failure associated with bullying are possible school-related factors to mental health problems in Nigerian universities. The study recommends the overhaul and the establishment of guidance counseling and mental health management units in all Nigerian universities, and that the National Universities Commission should as a matter of policy enactment and implementation mandate all universities to examine the mental health status of students that should be admitted into Nigerian universities.

Abstract

This research developed questions to measure the improvement in computational thinking (CT) abilities of children with mild autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A quantitative approach was used in this research, with data collection through filling out expert judgment questionnaires by material experts and questions related to CT. The study results showed that the questions created were considered good for use in improving the CT abilities of children with ASD. The results of material expert validation showed an average value of 78.32%, which falls into the good category. In contrast, the question expert validation gives a perfect score, which confirms the validity of the questions created for the material and learning objectives used. The question instrument developed includes three main components of CT, namely decomposition, pattern recognition, and algorithm design, with a design that uses images and visual elements as well as simple instructions to facilitate understanding and involvement in children with ASD. This study bring a positive contribution to the development of more inclusive and effective CT learning for children with ASD.

Abstract

The school, which should be a relatively safe place where students can learn and grow, is gradually becoming a place of violence and fear. This study examined the pattern of relationship between school climate, peer influence, parental socio-economic status, and school violence. This study employed a descriptive survey of correlational design, and a multistage sampling procedure was utilized. Adolescents (N = 286; 40.9% female, 59.1% male) aged 11 to 17 took part. Participants completed standardized instruments: (School Climate Scale α = 0.84; Peer Influence Scale α = 0.80; Parental Socio-economic Status Scale α = 0.88; and Violent Behavior rating Scale α = 0.91). The results showed that school climate (r =0.246, p0.05); socio-economic status (r =0.459, p 0.05), and peer influence (r =0.575, p0.05) all had a significant relationship with school violence. Also, peer influence recorded the most significant relative contribution to school violence, followed by school climate and parental socio-economic status, respectively. The study concluded that preventing school violence requires comprehensive and all-encompassing approaches, as addressing the problem with a single factor is unlikely to be sufficient.

Abstract

Self-confidence plays an important role in an individual's life, especially for students in special schools who often face physical, mental, and social challenges in career development. Assertiveness training is one of the effective methods to improve career confidence, as it focuses on communication skills and the ability to express thoughts and feelings assertively. This study utilized a non-systematic literature review to explore the effectiveness of assertiveness training in improving the career confidence of special education students within a classical guidance framework. Relevant literature was analyzed from Google Scholar and PubMed, focusing on publications from the last 10 years. The findings highlighted significant improvements in students' career confidence, communication ability, and decision-making skills following assertiveness training. Key enabling factors included institutional support, appropriate training methods, participant commitment, and intensive guidance from counselors. However, barriers such as low initial confidence levels, limited time, and environmental support remained a challenge. This study contributes to the development of a customized assertiveness training module for special education students and provides practical implications for schools, teachers, parents, and researchers.

Abstract

This paper presents a study using live worksheets to improve the capability of adding integer numbers in math subjects of pupils with autism. This study was classroom action research conducted in two cycles. The 1st cycle consists of 8 meetings and the 2nd cycle consists of 7 meetings, consisting of planning, action observation, and reflection. The data used is qualitative which is analyzed using thematic analyses and quantitative which is analyzed using simple quantitative data analysis. The result of this research showed that the average student's initial abilities or score was 47.5. After being given intervention in the first cycle the score becomes 62. This improvement occurs in the aspect of understanding the steps for adding integers to a maximum of 10 but has not yet reached the final step so the addition result is not correct. After being given intervention in cycle II, the average score increased to 93. In cycle II, the students were able to calculate the addition of integers correctly to a maximum result of 10 by following the steps provided on the live worksheets. Based on this data, it can be stated that live worksheets can improve the ability to add integer numbers with a maximum result of 10 in the 2nd grade of pupils with autism in this school.

Abstract

Single-parent families, particularly those led by single mothers, are becoming more common in society. These mothers often face dual responsibilities of caregiving and providing financially, which can affect the social-emotional development of their children. This study aims to examine the parenting process, type, and its impact on preschool children’s social-emotional development because early childhood is a critical period for forming emotional and social skills. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through interviews and observations involving two single mothers and their children’s teachers. The results show that democratic parenting encourages positive outcomes such as confidence, empathy, socialization, and rule-following. However, permissive elements within parenting may lead to aggression, low empathy, and difficulty following rules. Because parenting directly influences a child's development, single mothers need support and guidance. This study highlights the importance of promoting democratic parenting to help single mothers nurture preschool children's social-emotional growth in line with developmental indicators.

Abstract

Raising a child with a disability (CWD) often incurs additional costs for any family. However, when a family is situated within a low socioeconomic status, the financial burden can be even more pronounced. This prompted a phenomenological study to delve deeper into the lived experiences of such families, focusing on how disability exacerbates the family’s finances. Utilizing semi-structured interviews, participants were able to narrate the unique challenges and barriers they faced in raising CWD within the context of limited financial resources. The emerging themes revealed multifaceted challenges, including caregiving tasks, parental stress, and hurtful remarks. Concerns about the future of the children and the caregiving responsibilities being placed on mothers were also highlighted. Additionally, families often face trade-offs between meeting the needs of other family members and those of the CWD due to financial constraints. Access to healthcare presents further barriers, particularly for low-income families. While some existing support programs offer relief, there is a notable absence of specific support for CWD families. The Head, meanwhile, also shared his plans for the person with the disability community.

Abstract

Parents of Deaf adolescents are expected to provide sexuality education to their adolescents.  This study explored how parents of Deaf adolescents acquire knowledge about sexuality education, the challenges they face in providing that education to their adolescents, and how they cope with the challenges. A qualitative approach was followed in the study. Methods of data collection were semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. Data was collected from parents of Deaf adolescents. The findings indicate that parents obtain information about sex education from family members and formal education. However, their ability to provide that education is hindered by challenges such as a limited understanding of sexuality education, how to convey the information to Deaf adolescents, and inadequate skills in sign language. The authors recommend that parents of Deaf adolescents should be supported to acquire the knowledge and communication skills necessary for them to provide sex education to their adolescent children. In addition, the ministry responsible for education ought to put in place a policy that should guide the provision of sex education which is adapted for Deaf adolescents in schools.
