▼ The aim of the present study was to examine the impact of stress and coping on substance abuse
among Debreberhan
University students. A cross sectional survey research design using
quantitative research approach was employed in this study. Stratified random sampling was used
to select 364 ( 220 male and 144 female) participants from the target population after stratifying
by colleges, department and sex. Data were gathered through self-administered questionnaire.
Data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistics, T- tests, analysis of variance (ANOVA)
and regression. Results of the study showed that, lifetime prevalence rates of Tobacco was 19.6%
, alcohol 62.7%, cannabis 9.8%, and Chat/Khat 25.4% while current prevalence rates for
tobacco, alcohol, cannabis and chat were14.7%, 44.2%, 5.5%, and 22.3% respectively. The
results of Regression analysis has shown that both stress and coping significantly predict
substance abuse, with stress and disengagement coping yielding unique contribution for the
dependent variable. The results of the T- test has also shown that there were significant gender
differences in the mean scores of stress, coping and substance abuse among participants. From
this study the magnitude of substance abuse is high. Stress and disengagement coping are the
factors that have contributed to
students substance abuse. Thus, there is a need to increase
public awareness of the potential impacts of substance abuse, specially adolescents, and also
help them identify effective and healthy coping strategies to forestall the onset of substance use.

▼ Purpose of the Study. A healthy, fit body and well-developed mind have been known to be very effective in helping
students succeed academically, socially, behaviorally, and emotionally. Understanding what motivators influence
students in exercise participation, and how such motivators may influence choice in undertaking physical activities can be valuable information when planning college physical fitness courses and wellness activities. Further, it may reverse the trend of the findings that Andrews
University students’ fitness declines while being in college as measured by 10 years of Microfit aggregated data. The purpose of this study was to identify the most important exercise motivators that influence Andrews
University undergraduate students’ choices and behaviors toward acquiring a more physically active lifestyle. A second purpose was to investigate whether the exercise causality orientation profiles’ strength of Andrews
University students was autonomous, controlled, or impersonal in the regulation of their behavior toward exercise. – Method. This was a quantitative study utilizing a non-experimental and correlational research design. This study employed two survey questionnaires: The Exercise Motivations Inventory-2 (EMI-2) and The Exercise Causality Orientations Scale (ECOS). The EMI-2 included 51 items identifying 14 exercise motivators: enjoyment, challenge, revitalization, affiliation, competition, social recognition, positive health, stress management, strength and endurance, nimbleness, weight management, appearance, health pressure, and ill-health avoidance. Responses for EMI-2 survey were measured on a 6-point Likert-type scale. The Exercise Causality Orientations Scale included 21 questions identifying three exercise causality orientations: autonomous, control, and impersonal. The ECOS responses were measured on a 7-point Likert-type scale. The data were collected from 316 undergraduate
students registered for Spring 2013 semester at Andrews
University. In addition, four demographic items were part of the study. Data were statistically analyzed by using descriptive statistics, bivariate, and correlational analysis. The multiple linear regression analysis was employed to identify which of the 14 exercise motives are the significant predictors of exercise causality orientations profiles to be autonomous, control and impersonal among Andrews
University students. The t test for independent sample was used to determine whether significant differences existed for exercise motivators and exercise causality orientations between
students from the School of Health Professions and from the other schools. – Results. The study revealed significant exercise motivation predictor variables for three exercise causality orientation profiles: autonomous, control, and impersonal, among Andrews
University undergraduate
students during the Spring 2013 semester. In addition, it exposed significant differences in the exercise motives and exercise causality orientation between the
students from the School of Health…

▼ Researchers agree that first-year
university students are the campus population at greatest risk for institutional departure. Since institutional effectiveness is primarily tied to retaining and graduating
students, administrators are constantly under pressure to maximize the number of
students who persist to graduation. Additionally, it is essential that administrators identify programs that enhance student satisfaction and academic persistence.
Statement of Problem
The purpose of this study was to analyze perceptions related to access, satisfaction, and academic persistence from first-year
students actively engaged in Campus Recreation (CR) programming. Areas of interest focused on institutional student services, CR service areas, and facilities as they related to student satisfaction and academic persistence. This information can be used by Campus Recreation Administrators (CRA) to help justify funding for CR programming and facilities in an era plagued by diminished budgets and elevated stakeholder scrutiny.
vi
Methodology
Research data was collected by utilizing the Quality and Importance of Recreational Services (QIRS) developed by the National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association (NIRSA). Only first-year
students actively engaged in CR programming at a large, commuter-based
university were asked to participate in the study.
Conclusions and Recommendations
The research presented in this study indicated the importance of CR within higher education. First-year
students who participated in CR at the
university overwhelmingly reported high levels of institutional and academic satisfaction. Additionally, the entire department of CR received very high satisfaction ratings. This information must be disseminated to upper-level management and decision-makers at the
university to demonstrate the importance of CR in assisting with retention of at-risk student groups on campus.

▼ Rural
students have lagged behind non-rural
students in matriculation into higher
education, as well as in completion of four-year degrees. The current studies sought
to investigate academic readiness, academic performance, and psychological
differences between rural and non-rural
students at Oregon State
University. Rural
and non-rural
students were compared during spring term of the 2014-2015 academic
year, as well as during the fall term of the 2015-2016 academic year. No significant
differences were observed between rural and non-rural
students' levels of academic
readiness prior to entering Oregon State
University, nor their academic performance
in introductory-level psychology courses. The only psychological difference observed
between rural and non-rural
students concerned grit; a measure of one's ability to
persist through hardship in completion of a goal. Implications of these findings on
future research and interventions are discussed.

▼ The following paper investigates some of the many theories used to explain underlying
reasons contributing to student drinking. Reasons for student drinking include escape from
reality, social discomfort, former child abuse and neglect, and specific personality types. After
reviewing various theories of addiction, this paper uses a deductive approach to identify the three
theories most relevant student binge drinking: the social learning theory, the behavioural theory,
and the personality theory. From social reasons to behavioural and personality related reasons,
students drink to be more social and to cope with stress, but these rewards do not come without
risks. The ability of theory to adapt to address the unique needs of individuals makes it an
important, albeit underused, tool. Using theory to inform intervention strategies, then, is essential
for developing effective treatment. Future research in this area should focus on methods for
integrating theory with addiction treatment.

▼ The aim of this study was to see whether international students felt safe to live in
Hobart, Tasmania. The hypothesis of this study was that some of the international students
have obtained a bad impression about their safety and security while they live in Hobart,
Tasmania. In order to research this, the study used a survey questionnaire. The survey
questionnaire allowed international students to make any comments or give any impressions
about their safety and security. The survey questionnaire has been put up on the Survey
Monkey website. It does not identify who answered the survey questions. The survey
questionnaire was divided into four parts. The four parts of this study were general
information, personal safety and security issues, perceptions of safety, and making things
safer. The purpose of the survey questionnaire was given broad ideas about how safe the
international students. This dissertation provides a review on background literature about the
problem and reports the research on the survey. This showed that international students in
Hobart are concerned about the issue. The last chapter makes some recommendations.

▼ This thesis reports on a study in which research participants, four mature aged females starting an undergraduate degree at a regional Australian university, collaborated with the researcher in co-constructing a self-efficacy narrative. For the purpose of the study, self-efficacy was conceptualized as a means by which an individual initiates action to engage in a task or set of tasks, applies effort to perform the task or set of tasks, and persists in the face of obstacles encountered in order to achieve successful completion of the task or set of tasks. Qualitative interviews were conducted with the participants, initially investigating their respective life histories for an understanding of how they made the decision to embark on their respective academic program. Additional data were generated from a written exercise, prompting participants to furnish specific examples of self-efficacy. These data were incorporated into the individual's self-efficacy narrative, produced as the outcome of the "narrative analysis". Another aspect of the study entailed "analysis of narrative" in which analytic procedures were used to identify themes common to the self-efficacy narratives. Five main themes were identified: (a) participants' experience of schooling . for several participants their formative experience of school was not always positive, and yet their narratives demonstrated their agency in persevering and taking on university-level studies as mature aged persons; (b) recognition of family as an early influence . these influences were described as being both positive, in the sense of being supportive and encouraging, as well as posing obstacles that participants had to overcome in order to pursue their goals; (c) availability of supportive persons – the support of particular persons was acknowledged as a factor that enabled participants to persist in their respective endeavours; (d) luck or chance factors were recognised as placing participants at the right place at the right time, from which circumstances they applied considerable effort in order to convert the opportunity into a successful outcome; and (e) self-efficacy was identified as a major theme found in the narratives. The study included an evaluation of the research process by participants. A number of themes were identified in respect of the manner in which the research process was experienced as a helpful process. Participants commented that: (a) the research process was helpful in clarifying their respective career goals; (b) they appreciated opportunities provided by the research process to view their life from a different perspective and to better understand what motivated them, and what their preferred learning styles were; (c) their past successes in a range of different spheres were made more evident to them as they were guided in self-reflection, and their self-efficacious behaviour was affirmed; and (d) the opportunities provided by their participation in the research process to identify strengths of which they had not been consciously aware, to find…

▼ This study examines migration aspirations among
university students in Ghana. My interest
is in undergraduate
students, a group that is largely overlooked both in African studies and
migration theory. The research was focused on migration aspirations, the first stage of any
migration venture, and carried out at
University of Ghana, a large public
university, and
Ashesi
University College, a small private liberal arts college. A combination of methods
was employed: focus groups, an e-survey (n=506), and interviews. To understand how
students view the option to migrate, I argue that an Africanist or decolonial approach must
be used. Understanding student migration aspirations can be achieved by letting Ghanaian
students themselves explain the phenomenon as well as by contextualizing
university
students’ migration narratives within global inequalities of knowledge production.
The findings show that
students in the Global South indeed consider migration as a life
option, however, migration aspirations are volatile, often driven by the ambition for further
study and return, rather than being an end in itself. While other researchers have described
a “migration culture” in Ghana, my findings rather point toward an “education culture”.
However, financing such student migration as well as the passport and visa acquisition
processes, present barriers such that although many
students say they aspire to migrate,
most of them have not taken action, like applying for a passport. Hence, this study confirms
research suggesting there is a gap between aspiration and ability to migrate. In addition, my research reveals other reservations to the migration option, like fear of
racism and religious/moral concerns. Further, the
students in my study suggest that lowereducated
individuals have a stronger aspiration to migrate than highly educated individuals
like themselves – I construe this view as form of “othering”, not previously found in the
literature. Men and women are as likely to aspire to migrate, except for women with weak
academic results who are more likely than other groups to aspire to migrate. Further, the
research established that
university students in Ghana use new communication tools
powered by the Internet to stay in close contact with family and friends abroad.
Students
also discuss migration in relation to “exploring”and “enjoying” as well as describe travel
similar to the “gap year” earlier described in the literature, but for
students in the Global
North.
These results highlight that
students in the Global South are generally similar to the
students in the Global North in terms of migration aspirations. However, while the latter
are well covered in the International Student Migration (ISM) discourse the former are not
– and this is the discourse my study contributes to. While individual considerations among
Ghanaian
students are similar to those of
students in the Global North, I argue that the
migration environment is dissimilar, and to better understand the phenomenon of student

▼ High levels of unemployment among university graduates in Ghana has course for concern,
leading different stakeholders to promote the idea of self-employment among university students.
Entre
preneurship research in Ghana, especially among university students has therefore increased.
However, for most part of entrepreneurship research among university students, entrepreneurship
has been detached from the context of career planning in general. Entrepreneurship research in
Ghana has mainly been underpinned by the narrative of being a means of escaping unemployment
.
Using the occupational choice model and entrepreneurial motivation theory as framework, the
present study sought to integrate entrepreneurial behaviours into the context of career planning by
examining the factors that influence self-employment as a career path. The study was conducted
among a sample of 344 final year students from 4 universities in Ghana. Findings show that career
anchor and self-evaluations are critical when understanding entrepreneurial behaviour among
undergraduate students. Entrepreneurial climate in universities was also found to affect
entrepreneurial behaviours among the students.These findings are discussed and ‘multi
-level
model of student entrepreneurship’ proposed within the context of researching and promoting
student entrepreneurship

▼ The following paper investigates some of the many theories used to explain underlying
reasons contributing to student drinking. Reasons for student drinking include escape from
reality, social discomfort, former child abuse and neglect, and specific personality types. After
reviewing various theories of addiction, this paper uses a deductive approach to identify the three
theories most relevant student binge drinking: the social learning theory, the behavioural theory,
and the personality theory. From social reasons to behavioural and personality related reasons,
students drink to be more social and to cope with stress, but these rewards do not come without
risks. The ability of theory to adapt to address the unique needs of individuals makes it an
important, albeit underused, tool. Using theory to inform intervention strategies, then, is essential
for developing effective treatment. Future research in this area should focus on methods for
integrating theory with addiction treatment.

▼ Introduction: Suicide is a leading cause of death among the
university-aged population. Alarmingly, a large proportion of
students with suicidal ideation or behaviour do not seek help
from health services. This thesis aims to identify the factors
associated with professional help seeking for suicidal ideation
among Chinese and Australian university students and to develop a
trial online program to facilitate help seeking.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted to identify factors
that may influence professional help seeking for suicidal
ideation and behaviour. Two hundred and eight Chinese university
students and 128 Australian university students were subsequently
recruited to complete an online cross-sectional survey to further
test the influence of the identified factors on professional help
seeking for suicidal ideation. The results of this survey were
then used to guide the development of a two-module online
psychoeducational program (ProHelp). The effectiveness of this
program was evaluated through a pilot randomised controlled study
of 156 Chinese university students and 101 Australian university
students.
Results: Low perceived need for treatment, great self-reliance,
low suicide literacy, and stigmatising attitudes were identified
as important barriers to professional help seeking in both the
systematic review and the cross-sectional surveys. In particular,
greater self-reliance was significantly associated with negative
help-seeking attitudes for suicidal ideation in both China and
Australia. Attribution of suicidal individuals to isolation (p =
.035) was negatively associated with help-seeking attitudes in
China, while glorification (p = .008) and stigmatising attitudes
(p = .025) of suicidal individuals were negatively associated
with help-seeking beliefs and attitudes respectively in
Australia. Limited suicide prevention knowledge (p = .042) in
China and less supportive family relationship (p = .006) in
Australia were associated with lower help-seeking beliefs. Two
self-recognised barriers, “I prefer to deal with issues on my
own” and “I question how serious my needs are” were
identified in both China and Australia. Self-reliance, suicide
literacy, suicide attitudes and social support were found to
influence help-seeking and thus formed the basis of the ProHelp
intervention. Although no significant effect of the intervention
on professional help-seeking beliefs or intentions was found,
both groups’ help-seeking attitudes increased during the study
(p = .003 for the post-test survey, and p = .008 for the
follow-up survey). The experimental group in both countries
demonstrated a significant improvement in suicide literacy at the
post-test survey (p = .015). Qualitative feedback indicated that
the ProHelp program was generally user-friendly, clear, and
helpful.

▼ Previous social research focused on people who stutter has problematised and largely ignored the experiences of university students who stutter, relying heavily upon surveys of teachers and peers while almost ignoring the authentic voices of students who stutter. Using a novel bricolage approach incorporating autoethnography, this project posed the question: “How do students who stutter negotiate their university experiences in Australia?” In 2008, a unique, web-based audit of 39 Australian public universities concluded that little publicly accessible information about stuttering support services was available for prospective university students. In many ways, stuttering is absent from disability classifications and service systems in higher education. An online survey of 102 Australian university students who stutter, and follow-up individual interviews with 15 students, revealed how these students manage their social identities from enrolment through to graduation. Only a minority of students reported ever formally disclosing their functional impairment to university support services or academic staff. This meant they rejected and/or avoided the disability label and associated stigma. The students were found to exercise a high degree of individual agency and creativity throughout their university journey. Many employed ‘concessional bargaining’ techniques to effectively navigate the oral assessment requirements during their degrees. Analysis of the interview and survey data is interspersed with critical self-reflection by the author – as a university lecturer who himself stutters. This thesis makes a significant contribution to shaping our understanding of the social identities and trajectories of university students who stutter. These students have been recast as positive, purposeful, resourceful and creative agents whose actions can be largely understood from a social model of disability. A series of recommendations for supporting and teaching these students are made to key stakeholders in higher education.

▼ The acceptance into
university is particularly more challenging than gaining admission into primary and secondary institutions of learning. This is due to inter alia the limited amount of enrolment positions available at universities in relation to the number of
students who complete their studies at secondary institutions. First year
students experience a great change in curriculum from secondary school to tertiary education. These
students experience a great deal of stress in terms of dealing with their new academic demands and their personal physiological developmental milestones. It is at this time that the
students are fighting for the autonomy from the control of their parents or guardians as they strive to be independent. It is also at this stage that most
students drop-out of tertiary education institutions. It is therefore important to understand how the demographic factors assist these
students in dealing with stress. The purpose of the study was to answer the questionnaire, "Are there gender, age, home language, faculty and socioeconomic differences in the experience of stress among
students at a selected tertiary institution in the Western Cape province of South Africa?" The research study was conducted using
students from a
university in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. The total number of respondents who completed the questionnaire was 306 (n= 306). The respondents comprised of only first year
university students from various faculties. The participants in the study completed the SASS which comprised of 50 questions. In addition, they also completed a biographical section which comprised of the respondents' age, gender, home language, socio-economic status and faculty. An item analysis was conducted on the all of the SASS subscales (Affective, Behavioural, Cognitive and Physiological) using SPSS version 23. Subsequently, an Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was performed on the subscales to ensure the uni-dimensionality of the subscales. A Pearson correlational test was performed to determine the relationship between age and stress since age was defined as a continuous variable. An independent samples t-test was conducted to determine if differences in mean scoresexist between gender and stress. An Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to assess stress differences in terms of home language, socio-economic status and faculty. The analyses were performed using SPSS version 23. Based on the result we were able to conclude that there is no statistical significance between gender and stress; stress and language; socio-economic status and stress; as well as between faculty and stress. Furthermore, it was found that there is no significant relationship between age and stress. The practical implications of the study and limitations are discussed as well as the direction for future studies.

▼ Food insecurity impacts
university students, resulting with physical and mental health
risks, at-risk for low GPAs, and change in behavior (Hughes, Serebryanikova, Donaldson
& Leveritt, 2011; O???Neil & Maguire, 2017; Wood, Harris III & Delgado, 2017). Current
research examines the relationship between food insecurity and adults, families, and
children, while the food experience of
university students is lacking in these studies. The
purpose of this secondary data analysis was to examine specific demographic
characteristics of
students who attended California State
University, Sacramento (CSUS)
and to evaluate whether there are statistically significant differences between the student
population experience with food insecurity. This study focused on four research questions:
What is the relationship between income status and food insecurity? What is the
relationship between racial identity and food insecurity? What is the relationship between
hours worked per week and food insecurity? What is the relationship between housing
insecurity and food insecurity? A Pearson???s Chi-Square demonstrated a correlation
between housing insecurity and food insecurity. This study will contribute to future
research that explores the food experience of
university students.

This was a study of how a group of second and third year humanities students at the University of Johannesburg managed to access University and progress past the critical and often turbulent first year. Data collected from the study participants through in-depth interviews and life histories reveal that encouraging parents and teachers, access to information on financial aid, and self-determination, were significant in contributing positively toward academic success. The study also reveals that role models play a very important part in student success. Especially significant is the role played by mothers (most with low educational qualifications) in encouraging their children to pursue higher education. This is noteworthy because it shows that students‘ pursuit of higher education is not wholly dependent on parents‘ education but on the parents‘ educational aspirations for their children.

▼ Mature-aged distance students, who often combine study with complex lives, make up a sixth of New Zealand university students. A high first year attrition rate in this population highlights the need to better understand their transition to university. Past research has tended to take a narrow view of their experiences, identifying specific strengths and challenges. This thesis uses the meta-construct of student engagement, the students’ emotional, behavioural, and cognitive connection to their study, to enable a more holistic understanding.
Three research tools were used: an exploratory study analysing existing survey data; the theoretical re-conceptualisation of the key construct, student engagement; and a prospective qualitative study following students during their first semester. Study 1, the survey, established that mature-aged distance students, while highly satisfied, reported different patterns of engagement to traditional students. However, as the survey takes a limited view of engagement, the next stage of the project was the development of a conceptual framework that clarifies the nature of engagement and clearly distinguishes between engagement, its antecedents, and its consequences. The framework is the theoretical foundation for Study 2, which used family interviews and video diaries to follow 19 mature-aged distance students and their families through their first semester at university. Findings illustrate the individual and varied nature of student engagement, explore the importance of space and time as key influences on the students’ transition to university, and theorise the links between academic emotions and student engagement.
Overall, the thesis highlights three overarching features of student engagement. Firstly, engagement is multifaceted with the three dimensions interacting and influencing each other. Secondly, it is contextual, influenced by university and student psychosocial and structural characteristics. Finally, engagement is dynamic, fluctuating throughout the transition to university as the impact of various contextual factors strengthens and diminishes. Central to all three features are the students’ emotional experiences.
This thesis makes valuable contributions to both theoretical and practical knowledge of higher education. In particular, the conceptual framework and theorising of the links between emotion and engagement provide valuable insights that will guide future research with this and other student populations. In addition, the findings regarding the particular challenges of the transition period and the critical role of emotions for mature-aged distance students give rise to suggestions as to how these students can be better prepared for, and better supported in, their distance learning.

▼ The main purpose of the study is to understand the social work studentsâ, nursing studentsâ and internsâ concepts toward death attitude and good death, to analyze the difference of reasons between death attitude and good death, and to discuss the relevance of death attitude and good death. The research subjects are
university students majoring in public welfare, education and nursing. There are 570 effective questionnaires. Questionnaire survey is adopted in the method of research and the research tools include Death Attitude Profile-Revised, DAP-R, Independent t test, multivariate analysis of variance, Scheffeâs posterior comparison, canonical correlation analysis,stepwise multiple regression analysis and the self-edited scale for
good death which are used to analyze the data. The result indicates
the most research subjects accept the Neutral Acceptance toward death. The concept of good death is analyzed into seven notions such as cognition, physiology, affection, religion, morality, spirituality, and clinical observation. Moreover, the survey responsersâ attitude about the death differs individually. The reasons of death attitude show the difference in many fields. For example, gender, religion, self-consciousness, the passion for religion, the frequency of talking about death, attendance of funerals and if having the thought of suicide. All of these are crucial points in this research. Also, peopleâs concepts of good death are different from the former reasons. The attitude of death and the concept of good death are relating to each other. Last, the study proposes several thinking directions to set up positive outlook on life and integrate the concept into the life curriculum.

▼ This MA Thesis examines foreign students on-campus intercultural interactions at a New Zealand university – namely, the Massey University Turitea campus in Palmerston North. Prior research has shown that many foreign students in New Zealand universities have tended to spend their on-campus activities with other international students, usually from their own countries, rather than New Zealand ones, while other foreign students are largely interested in and open to intercultural interaction with New Zealanders when on campus. The purpose of my research was to examine and assess the nature, degree and reasons that foreign students engage in intercultural interactions when on-campus, and determine what my findings indicated towards the greater international student community in New Zealand. One of two methods that I used during my fieldwork consisted of interviewing seven research participants, who I contacted through personal friendships and Massey University clubs and organizations associated with foreign students, about their on-campus intercultural interactions. The second method was a level of participant observation, in which I participated in and observed my research participants during their academic and social university activities to assess their on-campus intercultural interactions. Major findings include the significant role of social and sports organizations in helping foreign students establish intercultural interactions, which are also promoted for many foreign students new to Massey via orientation programs, and the importance of campus accommodation facilitating foreign students intercultural interactions. Major conclusions include the need for more emphasis on internationalization at the Massey campus and the necessity of increased opportunities for intercultural interaction in and out of class.

▼ The study used a mixed methods methodology to investigate the factors that influence
university students’ career decisions. This was motivated by the fact that
students in disadvantaged communities are challenged by the negative socio-political conditions that resulted from the South African Apartheid system and these conditions limited the resources for people in disadvantaged communities. As more opportunities became available, it is vital that
students entering tertiary education are equipped with the necessary skills and support to make informed career decisions. The sample consisted of 155 third year
students from four faculties at the
University of Zululand. Data was collected using a questionnaire. The data was analysed using a systematic approach. The results indicated that the factors influencing influence
university students’ career decisions are the students’ educational background, home background, parental marital status parental occupation socio- economic status, the love for their careers, financial aid and high employment opportunities. The dissertation concludes that appropriate career education and guidance are essential for previously disadvantaged tertiary education
students in order for them to maximize the opportunities available to them.

On A Course To Migrate? Migration Aspirations Among University Students In Ghana

▼ This study examines migration aspirations among university students in Ghana. My interest
is in undergraduate students, a group that is largely overlooked both in African studies and
migration theory. The research was focused on migration aspirations, the first stage of any
migration venture, and carried out at University of Ghana, a large public university, and
Ashesi University College, a small private liberal arts college. A combination of methods
was employed: focus groups, an e-survey (n=506), and interviews. To understand how
students view the option to migrate, I argue that an Africanist or decolonial approach must
be used. Understanding student migration aspirations can be achieved by letting Ghanaian
students themselves explain the phenomenon as well as by contextualizing university
students’ migration narratives within global inequalities of knowledge production.
The findings show that students in the Global South indeed consider migration as a life
option, however, migration aspirations are volatile, often driven by the ambition for further
study and return, rather than being an end in itself. While other researchers have described
a “migration culture” in Ghana, my findings rather point toward an “education culture”.
However, financing such student migration as well as the passport and visa acquisition
processes, present barriers such that although many students say they aspire to migrate,
most of them have not taken action, like applying for a passport. Hence, this study confirms
research suggesting there is a gap between aspiration and ability to migrate.
In addition, my research reveals other reservations to the migration option, like fear of
racism and religious/moral concerns. Further, the students in my study suggest that lowereducated
individuals have a stronger aspiration to migrate than highly educated individuals
like themselves – I construe this view as form of “othering”, not previously found in the
literature. Men and women are as likely to aspire to migrate, except for women with weak
academic results who are more likely than other groups to aspire to migrate. Further, the
research established that university students in Ghana use new communication tools
powered by the Internet to stay in close contact with family and friends abroad. Students
also discuss migration in relation to “exploring”and “enjoying” as well as describe travel
similar to the “gap year” earlier described in the literature, but for students in the Global
North.
These results highlight that students in the Global South are generally similar to the
students in the Global North in terms of migration aspirations. However, while the latter
are well covered in the International Student Migration (ISM) discourse the former are not
– and this is the discourse my study contributes to. While individual considerations among
Ghanaian students are similar to those of students in the Global North, I argue that the
migration environment is dissimilar, and to better understand the phenomenon of student

▼ This study delved into the career trajectories of final year Sociology students of the University of Ghana, with 120 students (main respondents) responding to self-administered questionnaires, and 7 secondary respondents interviewed for the study. The study produces mixed findings. It was evident that whilst all study respondents have certain career choice aspirations and goals, many do not undertake or embark on any career development activities throughout their lives and years of education to prepare for the world of work. It was evident that 47% of the study respondents noted the possibility of changing their current career choice aspirations and goals; and as much as 60.7% of the study respondents indicate that they may engage in careers they do not aspire to or prepare for when the opportunity presents itself. The reasons cited for this response are the possibility of unavailability of jobs in their preferred career choice areas, the lucrativeness of the opportunity, inability to further train for their preferred careers, etc. This notion became the point of rally, as it became evident from respondents interviewed as well as from responses of the main study respondents that career interest and passions do not drive most individuals toward any specific career fields. Thus, there is evidence of much instability and flip-flopping in the career choice of respondents. Meanwhile, 25% of the study respondents indicate that their current career choice aspirations are influenced by passion. It was apparent also that opportunities for career development activities at all educational levels in the country is lacking, with all study respondents advocating for efforts to institute measures and mechanisms that can promote and regulate the practice of career development and training activities and possibly require students to mandatorily undergo such activities. The need for collaboration between industry, educators and governments in the design and implementation of national career development policies became apparent and was recommended by the study.

▼ Learning English becomes more and more important
nowadays since we know English is one of the international
languages, which can be used to communicate around the world. In
Yemen, English is learned / taught as a foreign language. Learning
a language is sometimes difficult since the target language
(English) has different elements compared to the native language
(Arabic). These differences sometimes cause students to make errors
when speaking or writing it. This study aimed to investigate the
students interlanguage in grammar. There will be syntactic errors,
relevant to interlingual / intralingual interference committed by
Yemeni university students. The purpose of the study was to find
out the types of errors Yemeni university students commit in their
writing and the source of errors that influenced during their
writing. The appropriate literatures on error analysis were
completely reviewed in the second chapter. Both Contrastive and
error analyses were employed to analyse the erroneous sentences and
phrases that were extracted from the students compositions. The
subjects participating in this study were 200 Yemeni students. To
conduct this study, 200 compositions written by the students of
English were used for the analysis. All the errors were identified,
classified and explained in terms of their types, and in terms of
the source of interference i.e. interlingual and intralingual. The
grammatical errors were classified into newlineii newlineeight
types such as addition of unnecessary elements , omission of
necessary elements , fragmentation sentences, selection of
appropriate word, structure of sentence, simplification in using
the verb form , word order and subject-verb agreement. Under the
addition of unnecessary elements and omission of necessary
elements, the errors were mostly in the use of articles, in the use
of modal verb, in the use of linking verbs. From the result of the
chapter four, it can be concluded that the Yemeni university
students made 831 grammatical errors.

▼ Background: Cervical cancer is a complication of Human Papillomavirus infection is the second most common cancer in women with 529,000 new cases each year worldwide. Eighty percent of the cases occur in low-resource countries. It is also a leading cause of mortality worldwide with 270 000 women every year, out of which 85% deaths occur in the developing world. According to the 2009 World Health Organization report, the age-adjusted incidence rate of cervical cancer in Ethiopia was 35.9 per 100,000 patients with 7619 annual number of new cases and 60-81 deaths every year. Despite this fact very few women receive screening services in Ethiopia.
Objective: The study aimed to assess the level of knowledge, attitude and practice concerning cervical cancer among female
students at Adama
University. Methodology: An institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted from March -June 2014 among 667Adama Science and Technology
University female
students. Structured self administered questionnaire was used for data collection. Univariate,bivaraite and multivariate analysis were used. Results: About 404(60.6%) of the participants heard about cervical cancer, 478 (71.7%) had positive attitude towards cervical cancer screening and only 15 (2.2%) participants were screened for cervical cancer. Lack of information about cervical cancer was the most reported reason for not attending cervical cancer screening. Level of knowledge of cervical carcinoma was associated with attitude on screening, those with good knowledge were more positive where as level of knowledge was not significantly associated with practice. Conclusion and recommendation: The study showed that there is a lack of knowledge on cervical cancer and screening for premalignant cervical lesion. The reason for poor practice among others was lack of knowledge and information. There is a need to promote cervical cancer screening among women by informing them on their susceptibility to cervical cancer and encouraging a belief that active and regular screening can detect cervical cancer at the pre-cancerous stage, hence enabling the early treatment and prevention of cancer development.

▼ Background: As the number of higher learning institutions increase in number and size in Ethiopia, their HIV risk perception and behaviours have become an indispensible part of the national HIV prevention and control program. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of sexual risk behaviour and associated factors among undergraduate
students. Objectives: To assess prevalence of sexual risk behaviour and associated factors in undergraduate
students, of Madawalabu
University.
ix
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 634 randomly selected
students in Madawalabu
University, Ethiopia from February 1st to 30th, 2014 using a self-administered structured questionnaire. Data was entered and cleaned using SPSS version 16.00 statistical software. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to determine the association between dependent and independent variables. Odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was used to measure the strength and significance of the association. Results: Overall a total 604
students participated in the study making the response rate at 95.3%. Three hundred thirty (54.6%)
students reported to have ever had sexual activity of which 173 (70.9%) and 116 (35.2%) reported having inconsistent condom use and multiple sexual partners, respectively. In this study, predictors of sexual risk behaviours were; male sex (OR = 2.8 95%CI; 1.35, 5.80), more years of study (OR = 5.55 95%CI; 2.16, 14.24), accept to have premarital sex (OR = 2.58 95%CI; 1.26, 5.27) drinking alcohol (OR = 3.62 95%CI; 2.02, 6.53). Those respondents who accept to have premarital sex were nearly two and half times more likely to use condom inconsistently as compared to none accept (OR= 2.58 95%CI; 1.26, 5.27). 4th year
students were nearly five times more likely to ever have multiple sexual partners as compared to first year
students (OR= 5.55 95%CI; 2.16, 14.24) and those respondents who ever drunk alcohol were nearly three and half times more likely to have multiple sexual partner as compared to abstainers (OR= 3.62 95%CI; 2.02, 6.53).
Conclusions and Recommendations: The study indicated that a significant segment of sexual risk behaviours among undergraduate
students of Madawalabu
University which are proven by having multiple sexual partners and inconsistent condom use. Therefore, the needs of youth reproductive health in the
university through strengthening BCC on risk perception; life skill training, peer-education, availing services and working with all stalk holders, NGOs, and the surrounding community is recommended

▼ The purpose of this study was to identify reasons why Chinese graduate
students chose one Canadian
university in which to study and to examine the transitional issues they encountered. Based on post-positivistic epistemology as the philosophical foundation, Creswell’s (2002) triangulation design in mixed methods research was employed. Fifty-one Chinese graduate
students registered in master or doctoral programs at the
university responded to an online survey that collected quantitative and qualitative data. Excel and SPSS (18.0) were employed to analyze the quantitative data. Descriptive statistics (means, standard deviations, frequencies, and percentages) were utilized to examine the participants’ transitional issues. Qualitative data were analyzed to develop major themes in relation to the participants’ reasons for choosing this
university in which to study and the transitional issues. Trustworthiness of the study was discussed from both qualitative and quantitative perspectives.
The findings showed that the participants came to study at this
university in Canada because of academic reasons, such as high-quality academic programs, research focus, competent faculty members, appropriate admission requirements, world-recognized degrees, and the opportunity to practice English. When studying in their academic programs, they encountered difficulties with listening, speaking, and academic writing in English. They also encountered difficulties in understanding academic readings, seeking advice, course work, and lack of resources. In their daily lives, the
students encountered loneliness, isolation, lack of communication due to different cultures, financial issues, and accommodation problems.

▼ This study examines the perspectives of seven mental health professionals who work with Muslim university students. The study specifically examines the experiences, struggles, and needs of Muslim university students in accessing mental health services from the perspective of mental health providers. Additionally, this study presents recommendations for service providers to consider when working with Muslim university students. It has been observed that almost all theories and data related to contemporary psychology have come from Western populations (Basit & Hamid, 2010). Hence this study attempts to fill a void in current knowledge.
A qualitative research study (Mason, 2000) utilizing a critical social science approach as well as principles related to Grounded Theory were applied to this study. Individual interviews were carried out with seven participants. The data analysis revealed various themes: understandings of well-being, factors impacting Muslim students’ well being, existing needs, and a proposed model when working with Muslim Students. The paper concludes with a brief set of recommendations for practice and limitations.

▼ Escalating tertiary fees, user pay systems, and high living costs are some of the reasons students are combining paid work with study. In tertiary institutions there are a large proportion of students studying while working. Working students of all ages have home commitments, be it household management, family, pet, or flatmate responsibilities. The aim of this research was to look at how working students manage interrole conflicts between work, study, and home. This included how interrole conflicts, satisfaction, and coping related to one another and whether task-focussed coping and emotion-focussed coping mediated and moderated the interrole conflict and satisfaction relationships. Three hundred and twenty seven students who had been undertaking paid work during the semester completed an online survey. Results showed that although there were some mediational and moderational relationships, overall coping made little difference to the relationships between interrole conflict and satisfaction. It was found that the domain that gave rise to interrole conflict was also the domain where most dissatisfaction was experienced, suggesting the source of the conflict is more resented than the role affected by the conflict. The highest conflict was time-based study interfering with home, and the second highest conflict was time-based work interfering with study. Tertiary institutions need to extend hours for their services, and evening and weekend availability of lecturing staff. Ongoing promotion through seminars of ways to successfully manage home commitments with study commitments would be useful for working students as well. It is also important that workplaces promote initiatives such as flexible hours to help students combine work and study successfully. Postgraduates experienced interrole conflict more than undergraduates in 5 of the 6 interrole conflicts so it is important that they are specially targeted for attention. Future research might like to compare larger samples of postgraduates and undergraduates and see if each group experiences similar or different mediational or moderational effects such as coping. Future research should also continue to differentiate between time and strain-based interrole conflict as working students experience them differently.

▼ Career maturity is an essential requirement in human existence. Super (1979) identified five stages which highlight the level of maturity an individual should have achieved at a certain age. However, increasingly, it is being recognised that individuals are not at the level of career maturity where they ought to be. In order to address the matter relating to career maturity, the current research investigated the nature thereof amongst first year
university students. The prevalence of specific aspects of career maturity (namely, self-information, decision-making, career information, integration of self-information and career information, and career planning) were investigated. In addition, the correlations between the aspects of career maturity and certain biographical variables such as age, gender and race were examined.

▼ Problem
The study of student life on campus has attracted numerous social science enquiries especially in the areas of spirituality, religiosity, and meaning making in life. Of particular interest has been the attempt to restore value-based education in Christian institutions of higher learning, taking cognizance of the need for cultural contextualization and the influence of postmodern ideology. This present study sought to examine the possible predictive role of identity styles, mediated by commitment and syncretism, in the attitudes towards discipleship practices among undergraduate
students of Valley View
University in Ghana, West Africa in 2015.
Method
The study employed the principles of a quantitative, non-experimental, crosssectional survey. Non-random convenient sampling method was used to collect data. Eight hundred
students were sampled from the second to the fourth year groups. The study used path analysis as the main technique to examine the data.
Results
All the endogenous variables were significantly predicted (Commitment [R2= .400], Syncretism [R2= .278], Satisfaction [R2= .020], and Involvement [R2= .482]) in their respective hierarchical path models. However, the overall hypothesized model did not fit the data. The total effects of the exogenous variables (i.e., Informational identity style, Normative identity style, and Diffuse-avoidant identity style) on satisfaction (.118; .009; and .028, respectively) and on involvement (.082; .006; and .019, respectively) were weak. However, there were significant relationships between some variables, which have important implications for discipleship and religious education in higher education.
Conclusions
The results of the study showed that students’ self-reported identity styles did not significantly predict their satisfaction and involvement in discipleship practices at Valley View
University. These results are in line with the biblical perspective of discipleship, in that Christian discipleship does not primarily depend on what the prospective disciples are at the point of their calling, but on the way in which they are led to encounter Jesus Christ.
