A High School Dropout Prevention Program for At-Risk Students

Wallace, Cynthia M. 01 January 2016 (has links)
Dropping out of high school is an issue that has faced the educational system for years. At a high school in Mississippi, the dropout prevention plan implemented was not beneficial to all at-risk students because it mainly focused on academic issues. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to understand why students dropped out of high school and to gather strategies for a dropout prevention plan. The conceptual framework was based on 5 factors: general deviancy, deviant affiliation, family socialization, structural strain, and academic quandary. The research questions inquired about experiences that caused students to drop out and suggested strategies for a new dropout prevention plan. Data collection methods included interviews with 18 teachers, 3 counselors, and 20 former students who dropped out between 2007 and 2012. Interpretive data analysis was used to analyze data. Open and axial coding was used to develop themes about why students dropped out of high school. Those themes included behavioral issues, peer and work-related influences, family structure, school environment, and academic problems. Data analyses indicated that tutoring, staff development, mentoring, counseling, parental involvement, teenage mother programs, and alternative options were useful in preventing students from dropping out. These findings were used to develop a high school dropout prevention plan to benefit at-risk students. The overall goal for this project was to decrease high school dropout rates. By implementing the high school dropout prevention plan, schools may enable more students to further their education and become productive citizens within their communities.

Analyse des formes d’adaptation au risque dans la construction en zones inondables en région parisienne : ce pour quoi l’on décide de donner des gages et ce que l’on choisit d’ignorer / Flood risk integration in the development of urban project in the Greater Paris : logics of action and decision

Moulin, Elodie 21 July 2015 (has links)
Cette recherche s'inscrit dans un contexte de fortes pressions foncières en Ile-de-France, de reconversion de friches industrielles et de « revalorisation » du principe de densification urbaine, qui conduisent à l'urbanisation en zones inondables. Cette thèse propose d'examiner le processus d'urbanisation en zones inondables au regard des transformations en cours dans les modes de fabrication urbaine. Aujourd'hui, l'élaboration des grands projets d'aménagement nécessite l'intervention d'une multitude d'acteurs, la production d'une expertise importante, l'intégration des incertitudes inhérentes à des projets qui se conçoivent et se réalisent sur dix, vingt ou trente ans et la nécessaire conception d'un processus de projet évolutif. Chercheurs et acteurs de l'aménagement qualifient ces processus de « projet urbain ».Nous testons l'hypothèse selon laquelle les transformations observées dans les modes d'élaboration des projets urbains peuvent créer une opportunité dans les modes d'intégration du risque inondation. Les acteurs du projet vont-ils se saisir différemment du risque en utilisant une expertise plus riche, en convoquant des acteurs du risque autour de l'élaboration du projet ? Notre recherche s'appuie sur l'analyse de l'élaboration du projet des Ardoines à Vitry-sur-Seine et de Parc-en-Seine à Villeneuve-le-Roi, complétée par l'observation d'autres projets urbains dans la métropole parisienne mais aussi en Allemagne. L'intégration du risque est, bien souvent, dans les cas étudiés en France dans cette recherche, réfléchie au travers du Plan de Prévention du Risque d'Inondation (PPRI). Elle n'engendre qu'à la marge des pratiques et des formes urbaines englobant plusieurs facettes de la gestion du risque (prévention, protection et gestion de crise). L'application de la règle à l'échelle du projet urbain se transforme ainsi en dispositif de construction de l'ignorance (Jouzel, Dedieu, 2013) quant à une gestion du risque globale, intégrant toutes ces actions. Lors de l'application de la règle, les coalitions d'acteurs (Sabatier, Jenkins-Smith, 1993), au sens de groupe d'acteurs qui vont se retrouver en ce qui concerne l'intégration du risque autour d'une idée commune qui va faire projet, vont être amenées à produire une expertise technique. Cette expertise va être essentiellement centrée sur la mise en sécurité des biens et des personnes et la transparence hydraulique et représente la pierre angulaire pour traduire la règle en formes urbaines (pilotis, rez-de-chaussée surélevés, etc.), gages du bon respect de la règle. La construction de l'ignorance, qui se traduit par une méconnaissance des impacts des aménagements sur le fonctionnement du quartier et de la ville en temps de crise, peut être partiellement comblée par la mise en place d'un Etablissement public d'aménagement. En effet, ce dernier va regrouper en son sein l'Etat, à la fois protecteur et aménageur. Les exemples de projets urbains allemands convoqués dans cette thèse montrent quant à eux une inversion des logiques d'intégration du risque. La suppression de tout principe d'interdiction d'urbanisation en zone inondable conduit à la production de nouvelles règles tant en ce qui concerne les formes urbaines (bâtiments étanches, voiries surélevées…) que les obligations relatives à l'alerte et à la gestion de crise. Une fois le projet urbain réalisé, l'habitant en prenant possession du projet urbain va être l'ultime témoin de la segmentation de la gestion du risque inondation. En effet, en recevant l'information de son exposition, il ne fait pas le lien avec ce qu'implique cette exposition, c'est-à-dire le rôle qu'il aura à jouer en cas de crue. Plus de communication aurait pour conséquence de reposer la question des responsabilités de chacun et de signaler que, malgré les moyens de protection et les aménagements pour réduire l'aléa dans le projet urbain, le risque demeure présent / This study is developed against a background of high estate pressure in the Ile-de-France region, of brownfield conversion and of increased urban densification. All these processes are leading to the land-use in floodrisk areas. The aim of this thesis is to analyse urbanisation process in floodrisk areas, with regard to the current transformations in urban design methods. Large urban development projects require the intervention of several stakeholders and significant expertise. Uncertainties in projects that are designed over ten, twenty or thirty years and the need to develop a progressive process have to be evaluated. Researchers and land-use stakeholders qualify this process of “urban project”. Our primary hypothesis was that the changes observed in urban project designs may challenge flood risk integration methods. Will the urban project stakeholders seize upon the risk integration in a different way using a more significant expertise and make risk management stakeholders play a part? Our analysis focus on two urban projects: les Ardoines in Vitry-sur-Seine and Parc-en-Seine in Villeneuve-le-Roi. Our study also integrates observation of other urban projects in the Greater Paris and in Germany. In our case studies in France, the risk is often analysed through the flood risk prevention plan. However, this will raise only marginally practices and urban forms related to prevention, protection and crisis management. Based on this concept it has been pro-posed that the application of the rule at the urban project scale is transformed into the construction of the ignorance process (Jouzel, Dedieu, 2013) concerning a global risk management, integrating all these actions. During the rule application, the advocacy coalitions (Sabatier, Jenkins-Smith, 1993) will find a common idea mainly focusing on ensuring the safety of goods and people and the hydraulic transparency. This expertise will be the most important piece to translate the rule in urban forms (stilts, raised ground floor, etc.) as a guarantee of good compliance with the rule. Construction of ignorance results in a lack of awareness of the impacts of development projects on the district and the city during flood periods. This process is partially filled in by a public development authority, which includes the two figures of the state, both protector and developer. They have for mission to develop and densify an area of three hundred hectares. The examples of German urban projects used in this thesis show a reversal of risk integration methods. The removal of any principle of prohibition of urbanization in flood-risk areas leads to the production of new rules in regard to urban forms (sealed buildings, elevated roads ...) and also the obligations relating to the warning and management crisis. In conclusion, our study has shown that once an urban project is completed, the in-habitants will be the ultimate witnesses to the segmentation of the flood risk management. Indeed, receiving information from risk exposure, does not integrate the implications of this exposure - that is to say the role it will have to play in case of flood. More communication would lead to raise the question of responsibilities of each party and would highlight that the risk remains despite protection tools

Västra Götalands socialtjänsters arbete med våldsutsatta kvinnor och barn : En enkätstudie / Västra Götalands social service work with abused women and children : A survey study

Lindberg, Jennifer January 2021 (has links)
Bakgrund: Våld mot kvinnor med barn i nära relationer är ett samhällsproblem. Socialstyrelsen har tagit fram en handlingsplan till hjälp för socialtjänsten vid arbete mot våld i nära relationer. Metod: Empirisk studie genom webbenkät med öppna och slutna frågeställningar. Enkäten skickades till socialtjänsterna i 33 kommuner i Västra Götaland, 5 av dessa svarade på enkäten. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka uppfattningar hos anställda på socialtjänster i Västra Götaland om socialtjänsternas arbete enligt handlingsplanen mot våld i nära relationer, och uppfattningar om extern samverkan. Resultat: De anställdas uppfattning är att socialtjänsten tillämpar preventiva åtgärder men i övrigt går detta inte att kartlägga vidare från studiens resultat. Samverkan mellan myndigheter fungerar bra men det framkommer inte av studien vilka myndigheter socialtjänsten samverkar med. Diskussion: Låg svarsfrekvens gör att resultatets trovärdighet är låg. Hade istället kvalitativa intervjuer använts som metod för insamling av data kunde en kartläggning av åtgärdstagandet och samverkan varit möjlig att genomföra. Slutsats: De anställdas uppfattning är att socialtjänsterna arbetar enligt handlingsplanen avseende extern och intern samverkan och att denna fungerar bra. Däremot är kartläggning av våldsutsatthet knapphändig och uppgifter om åtgärdstagande utom våldsprevention saknas i respondenternas svar. Resultatet går således inte att generalisera. / Background: Violence against women with children in close relationships is a societal problem. The National Board of Health and Welfare has developed an action plan to help the social services in working against violence in close relationships. Method: An empiric study using online survey with open and closed questions. The questionnaire was sent to the social services in 33 municipalities in Västra Götaland, 5 of which responded to the questionnaire. Objective: The purpose of this study is to examine perceptions of employees at social services in Västra Götaland about the work of social services according to the action plan against violence in close relationships, and perceptions about external collaboration. Results: The employees' view is that the social services apply preventive measures, but this cannot be further mapped from results of the study. Collaboration between authorities works well, but the study does not show which authorities the social services collaborate with. Discussion: The low response rate implies poor reliability of the results. Had instead qualitative interviews been used as a method of data collection, mapping of the measures and collaboration would have been possible. Conclusion: The employees view is that the social services work according to the action plan regarding external and internal collaboration and that this works well. On the other hand, mapping of victims of violence prevention is missing in the respondent’s answers, hence, the result is not possible to be generalized.
