“Why Do I Have to Do This?”: Examining General Education for CTE Students
Get PDFStudent complaints regarding their general education courses are nothing new. Research has shown students often do not see the value and view them as obstacles to their degrees (Reardon et al., 1990; Vander Schee, 2011). Unsuccessful completion of general education courses can keep students from attaining their degrees. Although research regarding student perceptions exists at the 4-year institutional level, little to no research exists focusing on community colleges or career and technical education (CTE) students connected to general education. For CTE students in particular, the question remained regarding complicating factors affecting their experiences in their general education courses. Social, economic, individual, and practical implications regarding successful general education exists for society, and more importantly, for the students themselves. Using semistructured interviews, the current critical phenomenological study explored CTE student experiences to help higher education administrators and faculty better serve CTE students. Data were analyzed using in vivo, emotions, and value coding before being organized into themes. Four major themes emerged revealing participants’ preference for hands-on, real-world learning, tension with the foundational skills taught in general education courses, valuing instructor-student connection and investment, and a belief that education is practical

The Importance of Domestic Violence Reform in First World Countries
Get PDFGlobally, 1 in every 3 women has experienced intimate partner violence (IPV), and the impact of this prevalent issue extends beyond the boundaries of developed and underdeveloped nations. In the United States, 22% of women have endured IPV, while in New Zealand, this figure stands at 24%. Despite the availability of national resources, frameworks adopted by developed countries are presumed to provide effective interventions through their judicial systems and policies. However, judicial injustices frequently allow perpetrators to persist in their violent behaviors without facing substantial consequences. Measures such as restraining orders or no-contact orders often fail to deter offenders effectively. This project aims to compare two specific cases of IPV-related tragedies: the Auckland murder-suicide in New Zealand, described as a tragic example of the epidemic of intimate partner violence, and the Iowa case in the United States, where police repeatedly ignored a restraining order prior to a woman\u27s murder. By examining these cases, the project seeks to raise awareness about the disparities between the policies and judicial systems of both countries. Ultimately, the goal is to recommend effective intervention frameworks that can address and mitigate the prevalence of IPV

Mental Health Care Access in Afghanistan
No full textIndividuals in low-income countries have limited to no access to mental health care within their communities. Many clinics have been shut down because of the lack of funding, which makes it difficult for students to find support for their mental health. Afghanistan especially has limited access to mental health care with a lack of qualified professionals, the effects of decades of war, gender-based restrictions, political instability, and overall does not acknowledge mental health as a whole. Due to these challenges and having limited treatment options, around 70% of college students in Afghanistan are experiencing academic struggles, social isolation, depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms. However, unlike Afghanistan, other countries have begun to acknowledge mental health. For example, the United States has policies to improve access through federal funding and acts specific to mental healthcare access, but Afghanistan does not. The World Federation for Mental Health is just one non-profit organization that holds World Mental Health Day to advocate for global mental health. This paper aims to advocate for the acknowledgment of issues surrounding mental health in Afghanistan by exploring the discrepancies in access to mental healthcare in the United States
