Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

43
Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Rotter's Locus of Control

303
Julian Rotter introduced the concept of locus of control, a cognitive factor that significantly influences personality development and learning. Locus of control refers to an individual's beliefs about the extent of control they have over events in their lives. According to Rotter, this belief system can be categorized into two types: internal and external locus of control.
Individuals with an internal locus of control believe that their personal efforts and decisions directly affect their...

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

33
Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

58
Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.
Parental Influence on Identity Development
Parents serve as primary guides and managers in an adolescent's life, offering support instrumental in decision-making and personal growth....

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

90.2K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Robbers Cave

14.3K
During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Area of Science:

  • STEM Education
  • Pedagogical Research
  • Higher Education

Background:

  • Peer-Led Team Learning (PLTL) is an established pedagogical strategy beneficial for students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
  • Previous research indicates PLTL advantages for underrepresented minority students and peer leaders.
  • This study focuses on the impact of PLTL on peer leaders within a Hispanic-serving, minority-serving institution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the influence of a PLTL program on peer leaders' skill development.
  • To assess the impact on peer leaders' engagement with STEM subject matter.
  • To measure the effect on peer leaders' sense of belonging in their roles.

Main Methods:

  • Controlled implementation of PLTL in general biology, chemistry, and statistics courses.
  • Analysis of weekly peer leader reflections using the Dreyfus and Pazos models.
  • Administration of the SALG survey with eight skill-based Likert-scale questions.

Main Results:

  • Dreyfus model analysis revealed consistent skill development in peer leaders.
  • Pazos model analysis identified consistent student-peer leader interaction patterns.
  • SALG survey data showed a significant positive shift in peer leader skills and engagement.

Conclusions:

  • PLTL programs demonstrably enhance peer leaders' communication skills and subject matter understanding.
  • Peer leaders exhibit increased engagement, a desire to foster student success, and passion for teaching.
  • The PLTL model contributes to a stronger sense of belonging and professional development for peer leaders in STEM.
