Codes of Conduct for Undergraduate Teaching in Four Types of Colleges and Universities
Innovative Higher Education, 2018Co-Authors: Dawn E. Lyken-segosebe, John M. Braxton, Mary K. Hutchens, Eugenia HarrisAbstract:Codes of conduct for undergraduate teaching stipulate quality professional standards for teaching. Besides contributing to the safeguarding of Student Welfare, such codes are critical given the autonomy the professoriate has in the performance of its teaching role, the need for professional self-regulation, and research evidence linking positive teacher behaviors to Student success. This study investigated the incidence of publicly-posted codes of conduct for undergraduate teaching in four types of institutions. It is the first stage of a research program that will assess the extent of faculty adherence to codes of conduct and arrangements for reporting and instituting sanctions for violations of such codes.

Mental Health, Drug Use and Adolescence: Meeting the Needs of Vulnerable Students in Secondary School
The Urban Review, 2018Co-Authors: Ylva OdenbringAbstract:Today, an increasing number of Students are suffering from different kinds of mental health problems. Still, we know little about how professionals in secondary school and other professionals in society handle and collaborate around these issues. The findings from the present study make an important contribution to the research field regarding professionals’ efforts to meet the needs of vulnerable Students. The present study investigates how school professionals in two Swedish urban schools and the local police describe their experiences with meeting the needs of Students who are suffering from mental health problems and drug use. The study draws on semi-structured interviews with the professionals and observations of the schools’ Student Welfare team meetings. The findings reveal that self-medication, through use of pills or drugs (or both), has become quite common among adolescents, who see it as a way to ‘solve their mental health problems. Although Students’ wellbeing and school safety were reported to be major concerns, the professionals’ collaborations were sometimes obstacles. Issues connected to the complexity of adolescents’ mental health not only highlight the importance of collaboration between schools and other societal institutions, but also indicate the necessary resources for such collaboration.

The many faces of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: Unruly behaviour in secondary school and diagnostic solutions:
Power and Education, 2017Co-Authors: Ylva Odenbring, Thomas Johansson, Kristina Hunehäll BerndtssonAbstract:In society today, there is a tendency towards over-diagnosing. This tendency in society at large seems to reflect the normalization of a diagnostic culture. Some researchers have claimed that this normalization could be defined as the ‘medicalization of childhood’. There would seem to be a need for a sociocultural analysis of this phenomenon in schools – and it is in relation to this background that the present study hopes to generate new knowledge for the research field. This article explores how professionals in Student Welfare teams relate to and use neuropsychiatric diagnoses. The study draws on interviews with key officials working in Student Welfare teams in three urban secondary schools in southern Sweden. The main aim has been to investigate how the school officials talk about diagnoses such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder, and what kind of explanatory value is awarded to these diagnoses. The results indicate that the professional culture in schools plays a...

Commonwealth Students in the United Kingdom, 1940–1960: Student Welfare and World Status
Minerva, 2006Co-Authors: J. M. LeeAbstract:Between 1940 and 1960, the British Government became increasingly concerned with the Welfare of Students coming to Britain from the dependent territories of the Commonwealth. The reasons were political, cultural, and economic. This essay traces the transition of official attitudes, from modest promotion to active policy. With the coming ‘end of Empire’, Britain chose a role that combined cooperation with the Commonwealth with future membership in the European community.

the pastoral pool an evaluation of a new system of pastoral care provision
Medical Education, 2002Co-Authors: Melissa Sayer, Brian T Colvin, Diana F WoodAbstract:Context Medical Students experience significant stress and stress-related problems. The benefits of support during training are described in this paper. Recently, Student support systems have become increasingly stretched as medical schools merge, courses become modular and staff face increasing clinical and research pressures. The pastoral support system at St Bartholomew's and the Royal London School of Medicine has been changed in response to an evaluation of the old system of personal tutors. Pastoral care is now provided by a group of willing staff members known to have an interest in Student Welfare. The group is known as the `Pastoral Pool' (PP). Methods Students and staff PP members completed similar questionnaires addressing their expectations of the PP and identifying the need for support systems in general. Pastoral Pool activity was investigated using confidential record sheets stating the frequency, duration and content of each PP encounter. Results Students were aware of the PP and many would consider using it. Staff and Students agreed over the functions of the PP. Students frequently expressed concerns over confidentiality within the system. Uptake was low, with only 3% of Students approaching the PP and the majority of PP work performed by only two staff members. The content of meetings was often multifactorial and usually on a subject within the PP remit. Conclusions The PP is beneficial because pastoral care is provided only by dedicated staff members with an interest in Student Welfare. Membership is small enough to enable staff training and development. However, the system relies on self-referral by Students. Rather than preventing problems arising, it therefore provides secondary support to those Students insightful enough to identify their problems and motivated enough to seek help.
