Social Work in Nepal : A Quest for Identity
Get PDFThe thesis focuses on the lack of clarity in the understanding of social work as a professional and an academic curriculum in Nepal. The broad terminology and understanding of social work have led to sporadic roles and responsibilities of Nepali social workers. The lack of legal recognition of social work roles and positions and the profession per se not being given formal recognition by the government of Nepal has led to disputes in the definition of being a social worker in Nepal and failed to protect service users, families, and communities. The proposed research question is: What are the challenges of being a social worker in Nepal? The research will explore this question through the lived experiences of social work graduates in Nepal, using semi-structured interviews as the method. The research aims to understand the roles and responsibilities that social work graduates find themselves in and the challenges that come along with being a social worker in their personal and professional narratives. The study will call for the significance of regulating the body or at least recognition of social work in Nepal
Strategies to Decrease Physical Aggression in Elementary Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Get PDFA growing number of individuals have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Students with autism spectrum disorder may exhibit a variety of physically aggressive and self-injurious behaviors that are problematic and difficult for caregivers and educators to manage. Due to these behaviors, educators and caregivers are facing burnout and exhaustion. The research shows that there are interventions that can help identify the function of the behaviors and are effective in reducing the physical aggression or self-injurious behaviors. The focus of this review is to identify therapeutic interventions that have a positive impact on elementary students with autism spectrum disorder who have demonstrated physically aggressive behaviors and self-injurious behaviors. This review focused on interventions that are evidence based practices and that can be implemented within the educational setting
SCHOOL BASED MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORTS FOR STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
Get PDFAccording to Clime (2015) throughout the world more children are getting diagnosed with emotional/behavioral disorder (EBD), children as young as 3 or 4 years of age, which is an increasing trend in mental health concerns. Clime (2015) spoke about concern and knowing that over half the children that are identified with having EBD are not receiving treatment. When children are not receiving treatment, they are left to cope with their illness without support.
According to Clime (2015) in the article ‘Building Capacity in School-Based Intervention’ it mentioned that statistics are looking at increasing children’s support at getting treatment by incorporating treatment programs into the educational systems. By incorporating them into schools this will provide students with mental health support throughout the day and increase their access to services and treatment programs.
According to Clime (2015) they stated that bringing mental health services into the school will allow the student to spend more time in school and on their schoolwork, then traveling to appointments. This would also help parents not having to miss work to bring their child to an appointment.
According to Conboy (2021) schools are named as an optimal setting for early intervention for mental health and guidance stresses the importance of a whole school approach.
According to Hodgdon et al. (2013) each year in the United States, millions of children experience maltreatment, violence and severe neglect, the majority of which occurs within the family environment. One form of substitute care for families in residential treatment where the student can still attend school however, with higher costs their treatment is less quality. There is success in implementing trauma-informed treatment in residential settings

Agile Learning: Students’ Perceptions of Collaboration
Get PDFEducators are encouraged to incorporate collaborative learning into their classrooms in order to promote active learning through teamwork. However, students often regard collaboration as lacking coordination and accountability among the team members, thus resulting in fewer opportunities for academic success. Nested within project-based learning, agile learning provides the framework for effective team and workflow regulation which is based on a collaborative, incremental and iterative learning process.
With the help of the quasi-experimental method, both quantitative and qualitative data was collected through a series of anonymous surveys. Aimed to investigate whether the incorporation of agile learning has an effect on students’ perception of collaboration opportunities and their academic performance in college-level English for Academic Purposes (EAP) classes, the results of the study indicated that the learners did not perceive a correlation between agile learning and the aforementioned notions. The findings are discussed in relation to the learners’ preferences for learning in foreign language classrooms and their own definition of collaboration which is ultimately reduced to the individual work process
Narcissism\u27s Beguiling Social Facade
Get PDFNarcissistic behavior, characterized by a persistent need for attention, admiration, and a feeling of superiority, presents various social problems for an individual. Back et al. (2013) have given a dynamic processing model of the narcissist\u27s social behavior that stems from their underlying need to maintain a grandiose, unrealistic self-image. This underlying intention manifests through maladaptive interpersonal interaction tendencies: manipulation, devaluation, and other Machiavellian behaviors to stabilize or enhance their perceived social relevance. Using the Narcissistic Admiration and Rivalry Concept (Back et al., 2013) and Platt\u27s (1973) social trap theories, we can explain the lure for acting in this damaging self-serving way
