“What Wellbeing Means To Me”: Exploring How Arabic Muslim Adolescent Girls Identify and Perceive Their Wellbeing
</title>
<link>http://pubs.sciepub.com/education/14/4/1</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[The topic of adolescent wellbeing is acknowledged as a multidimensional construct influenced by social, cultural, and religious backgrounds. Although much literature exists on mental health and wellbeing in children and adolescents, little has been done to determine the understanding and definition of wellbeing in Arabic and Islamic cultural contexts. In this phenomenological study, we aimed to explore how adolescent students define wellbeing and the factors that can improve or hinder their mental health. Using a qualitative design, 32 semi-structured interviews were conducted with girls’ students (13–17 years old) in Qatar, who were representatives of different social groups and different levels of Arabic ethnic backgrounds. The analysis revealed multiple aspects in relation to students’ definitions and understanding of wellbeing: happiness, success, faith, richness, and health. In addition, adolescents used five core categories related to factors influencing their wellbeing, including social relations, academic performance outcomes, personal commitment to goals, fulfilling religious practices, and self-confidence. These findings can be used to address and optimize challenges in investigating young people’s wellbeing and reveal the impact of social, cultural, and religious factors on the conceptualization of wellbeing in the Arabic community.]]>

Effectiveness of Existing Solid Waste Management Strategies in the Lens of Youth for Environment in School Organization: A Public School’s Greening Steps
</title>
<link>http://pubs.sciepub.com/education/14/4/2</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[Waste management should start in the four corners of the classroom to fully equip learners with the stewardship for the environment. This study evaluates existing strategies for school solid waste management, led by members of the Youth for Environment in School Organization (YES-O) at a public school in Quirino for the School Year 2023-2024. Employing a descriptive-inferential research design, the study aimed to identify the effectiveness of existing strategies in terms of sex as variable. Using purposive sampling based on students' involvement in school environmental organizations, 32 YES-O student members were selected as respondents, and the adapted and modified Effective Existing Solid Waste Management Strategies questionnaire [5] was employed. Results showed that existing effective strategies of the school were deemed to be effective and highly effective in waste segregation, reuse and recycling, collection and transport, composting organic materials, and information, education, and communication campaign. Meanwhile, in terms of sex, responses showed significant differences, particularly in the provision of success stories that motivate public participation in recycling and waste reduction as well as distribution of educational materials for local adaptation. These findings underscore the need to locally manage waste using strategies in educational environments and the importance of exploring gender-sensitive approaches to facilitate effective waste management practices.]]>
