11	Crime Prevention and Drug Education: The Legislative Mandate and its Implementation by the Texas Education Agency and Nineteen Texas School Districts Roberts, Ernest Larkin 05 1900 (has links) The problem of this study is to determine the extent to which the Texas Education Agency and selected school districts have implemented the legislative provisions of House Bill 467, enacted by the Sixty-First Texas Legislature. No hypothesis is advanced. The purpose of the study is twofold: first, it describes the sequential development of the crime prevention and drug education program by the Texas Education Agency as mandated through House Bill 467; and second, it determines the current status of the crime prevention and drug education program in selected school districts through the use of a semi-structured personal interview with the individual assigned primary responsibility for coordination of the program in each of the nineteen school districts included in the study. It is the further purpose of this study to determine principal and teacher perceptions toward twenty-two factors related to drug abuse among students. This was accomplished through the use of a perception survey mailed to a random sample of 1,184 teachers and all 149 principals within the nineteen school districts participating in the study. This procedure resulted in the return of usable surveys by 804 teachers and 119 principals. House Bill 467 Youth -- Drug use -- Texas. crime prevention programs drug education programs

13	Educator's knowledge of the factors contributing to substance use among secondary school learners in Greater Giyani Municipality, Limpopo Province Khosa, Aram 21 September 2018 (has links) MPH / Department of Public Health / Globally, substance use is a significant public health problem around the world. Many schools encounter the challenge of learners using substances in and outside of the school premises. This problem affects the education system because learners who use substances display behaviours that negatively affect the quality of learning and teaching. The study aimed to determine the educators’ knowledge of the factors contributing to substance use among secondary school learners in Greater Giyani Municipality, Limpopo Province. A descriptive research design was employed, and the participants were selected using purposive sampling. Data was collected utilising a structured questionnaire and analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25 programme. The study findings show substance use as a significant public health problem in schools. Some of the factors identified that contributed to substance use among learners by most educators were low-self-esteem, poor self-control, depression, meagre finances, academic environment, background, peer pressure, accessibility and availability of substances. Based on the findings a number of recommendations were made such as capacitating parents on parenting skills and also on strategies to assist teachers to fight against substance use by students. Instead of the media only displaying lucrative advertisements of alcohol, it must also provide education and awareness about substance use/abuse and its consequences. Further research is necessary to investigate learners’ and parents’ knowledge of the factors contributing to substance use. / NRF Educators Factors Knowledge Learners Secondary school Substance use 362.2920968259 Drug abuse -- South Africa -- Limpopo Students -- South Africa -- Limpopo Students -- South Africa -- Limpopo Educators -- South Africa -- Limpopo
14	Illicit drug use by secondary school learners in Windhoek, Namibia Chibaya, Gwarega 02 1900 (has links) Text in English / The purpose of this qualitative, explorative, descriptive and contextual study is to explore and describe the perception of secondary school learners regarding the use of illicit drugs and to propose recommendations to caregivers and school teachers that could help curb illicit drugs use. Purposive sampling was used to identify twelve secondary school learners who participated in this study. Data were collected through in-depth individual face-to-face interviews, drawings and field notes. Data analysis was done using Tesch’s descriptive method of open coding. The findings revealed that a combination of factors such as vulnerability, physical changes, psychological challenges and social challenges experienced by secondary school learners in Windhoek, Namibia, lead to illicit drugs use. The participants identified the different strategies they employed to recapture their lives from using illicit drugs and recommendations were made to caregivers and teachers on how to address these factors. / Health Studies / M.A. (Public Health) Secondary school learners Illicit drugs Caregivers Teachers Strategies 362.29170835096881 Drug abuse -- Prevention Youth -- Drug use -- Namibia -- Windhoek
15	The "e" in rave : a profile of young ecstasy users and its implication for educators Zervogiannis, Fanitsa Helen 11 1900 (has links) The use of methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) or Ecstasy is a phenomenon that has established itself in the widespread Rave culture. Ecstasy use causes not only physical, social and psychological problems in the development of the adolescent but may also influence his concentration and learning abilities. To prevent these problems educators should be well informed regarding current drug use trends and also be capable of assisting adolescents. Research regarding the nature of Ecstasy use and the characteristics of its users is lacking nationally. The increase in use amongst school going adolescents and young adults and the fact that there are side effects and unknown long term effects has made it imperative that educators learn as much as possible about this drug. The purpose of this research is therefore to furnish the educator with accurate information that will enable him to obtain a reference point from which assistance can be offered to the young Ecstasy user. / Psychology of Education / M.Ed.(Guidance and Counselling) Adolescent Recreational drug use MDMA Ecstasy Rave culture Spirituality Dance or club drugs Profiles of Ecstasy users Drug education Harm reduction 362.2990835 Drug abuse counseling -- South Africa.
