En este estudio se presenta un análisis de la satisfacción e importancia de las estrategias que contribuyen con la retención y permanencia universitaria. La metodología aplicada utiliza un diseño exploratorio secuencial. Los participantes pertenecen a una universidad pública estatal en Sonora-México; fueron 6 miembros directivos, 4 profesores, y 367 estudiantes. Se definieron 13 estrategias, siendo las más valoradas por los estudiantes las relacionadas a becas y tutoría académica. En el análisis cuantitativo, se destacan estrategias relacionadas con las becas, el profesorado, la gestión del programa, el ambiente escolar, el currículo, y los servicios, mientras que la infraestructura y la tutoría le restan importancia; por tanto, las estrategias integrales y el desempeño del profesorado son claves para la retención universitaria.

Formal Ethics is the study of formal ethical principles. The most important of these, perhaps even the most important principle of life, is the golden rule: "Treat others as you want to be treated". Although the golden rule enjoys support amongst different cultures and religions in the world, philosophers tend to neglect it. Formal Ethics gives the rule the attention it deserves. Modelled on formal logic, Formal Ethics was inspired by the ethical theories of Kant and Hare. It shows that the basic formal principles of ethics, like the golden rule, are very similar to principles of logic, and gives a firm basis for our ethical thinking. As an introduction to moral rationality, Formal Ethics also considers non-formal elements, and is applied to areas of practical concern such as racism and moral education

We investigate how religious beliefs affected the take up of the birth control pill and impacted women's outcomes using the 1970 liberalization of oral contraceptives in the Netherlands. We first document a massive and immediate drop in fertility among minor women, aged 21 or younger, for whom access restrictions were most drastically lifted. We then evaluate how area level social norms - as proxied by votes for religiously opposed political parties - influenced pill adoption by examining its impact on female fertility control and human capital formation. We find that younger women who grew up in more liberal areas were much less likely to experience a birth or marriage as a minor, invested more in education, and ended up in wealthier households. Finally, we study the potential additional impact of supply side frictions stemming from the moral views of the gatekeepers to the new birth control technology. We show that a larger proportion of religiously opposed health professionals - GPs and pharmacists - around a woman at the time of liberalization cancels out the short- and long-run benefits from pill access.

We analyze whether a redistributive government should provide ex ante insurance against unfortunate outcomes or whether it should instead rely on transfers for redistributing income ex post. To this end, we develop a model of education in which individuals face educational risk and wage dispersion across two types of skills. Successful graduation and working as a skilled worker depends on individual effort in education and on public resources, but educational risk still causes (income) inequality. We show that in a second-best setting, in which learning effort is not observable, improving the quality of education by public funding of the educational sector has a significant effect and that this increases efficiency in comparison to a pure (linear) income tax with income transfers from skilled to unskilled workers. Compared to a first-best solution, providing ex ante insurance significantly gains importance relative to traditional ex post redistribution, because it simultaneously alleviates moral hazard in education. These results are strengthened when a (distortionary) skill-specific tax can be implemented.

This article considers the main ideas of the leading representative of American political philosophy and ethics Alasdair MacIntyre regarding morality and obligation set out in his fundamental work "After virtue". In the never-ending discussion of moral problems and chaos in the value-normative sphere, MacIntyre suggests reconsidering the Aristotelean tradition of virtue with its teleological basis for morality and its central concepts of good, virtue, duty and purpose. Not being a supporter of abstract moral theorizing, MacIntyre insists on the primary connection between morality and practical rationality through moral arguments centered on the experience of social practices of the community in the search of the common good. ; Рассматриваются основные идеи ведущего представителя американской политической философии и этики Аласдера Макинтайра относительно морали и долженствования, изложенные в его фундаментальной работе «После добродетели». В ситуации нескончаемых дискуссий по моральным проблемам и хаосу в ценностно-нормативной сфере философ предлагает обратиться к аристотелевской традиции добродетелей с ее телеологическим основанием морали, где центральными являются понятия блага, добродетели, долга и предназначения. Не будучи сторонником абстрактного морального теоретизирования, Макинтайр настаивает на принципиальной связи между моралью и практической рациональностью через нравственную аргументацию опыта социальных практик коммюнити в проекте общего блага.

This paper aims to know and discuss the role of parents in the family, parenting and family functions in Islam. As we know, The development of today's technology is so rapidly advanced; users of digital tools are so mushrooming without knowing the age limit. The era of globalization is very influential for human life. In addition to presenting positive opportunities, it also offers the convenience provided by modernization. The information technology is very easy to access, but on the other side the negative effect of the rapid flow of globalization is increasingly felt and worrying. To filter and fortify it, the role of parents in the education of their children is required, especially moral education. Parents are required to play their role dynamically, democratically and communicatively on an ongoing basis.

Regulation of Kulon Progo Regent number 65 of 2017 concerning strengthening character education confirms that Mataraman culture must be part of the learning program at the elementary school, including the Madrasah Ibtidaiyah as an Islamic-based education. This article aims to describe how the integration of Mataraman culture in Islamic manners education at MI Ma'arif Plampang Kulon Progo in the implementation of classroom learning and its application in madrasas, using a differentiated integrative learning model. This research is qualitative. MI Ma'arif Plampang integrates the Mataraman culture and Islamic manners education based on the guidelines for strengthening character education regulated by the Regent of Kulon Progo, by emphasizing mutual respect according to the morals taught in the Islamic religion. The teaching material of Mataraman culture that is integrated into Islamic manners education is unggah-ungguh basa of Javanese language and literature with subjects of akidah-akhlak (Islamic creeds and morality). The developed values are religious values, courtesy, respect and obedience to others. Supporting factors include government policies regarding the use of traditional Javanese clothing in the style of Yogyakarta every Thursday Pahing, the quality of teachers and facilities for madrasa infrastructure, although there are inhibiting factors, namely inconsistent behavior from teachers and outsiders to the mixed culture.

Der Artikel stellt die aktuelle Diskussion über Werteerziehung am Beispiel des brandenburgischen Faches LER (Lebensgestaltung/Ethik/Religionskunde) in den wissenschaftsgeschichtlichen Kontext des Werturteilsstreits um Max Weber und leitet daraus Konsequenzen für die didaktische und institutionelle Konzeptionalisierung ab. (DIPF/Orig.) ; The recent discussion on value education as illustrated by the school subject "LER" (life styles, ethics and religion) taught at schools in Brandenburg is placed in the historical context of the dispute on value judgement in the sciences triggered by MAX WEBER and consequences for the didactic and institutional conceptualization are deduced. Among the demands placed on both pedagogics and the school by modern politics that for "value education" has more or less become a commonplace in the rhetoric of educational policy. While, during the 1980s, this demand was still considered a mark of conservative educational policy, today a general consensus seems to have been achieved among the parties. Ulis political preamble revived the old debate on moral education in both pedagogics and didactics, because it seemed to offer a possibility to finally translate into practice KOHLBERG'S multi-stage theory of moral development, which had been discussed since the late 1970s. Yet, besides the enormous amount of pedagogical literature published in the different disciplines taking part in the debate (ethics, religion, politics), the demand for value education is hardly reflected in either curricula or schedules. (DIPF/Orig.)

In the wake of terror attacks in London and Manchester in 2017, concerns have been raised about the extent to which governmental strategies to combat terrorism are successful in preventing extremism. The requirement "not to undermine fundamental British values" (FBV) has become part of the Teachers' Standards (DfE 2012) slipping silently, seamlessly and seemingly unchallenged from the government's counter terrorism strategy Prevent (2011). FBV are denoted as: Democracy, The rule of law, Individual liberty, Mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. Our research arose from a BERA Symposium in October 2012 organised by the BERA Race, Ethnicity and Education Special Interest Group (SIG) and the Religious Education and Moral Education SIG. Guidance on Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural (SMSC) education to "actively promote fundamental British values" (DfE 2014) as well as the need to monitor children and young people at risk of radicalisation, places teachers in a precarious position having to negotiate their role as teacher and agent of surveillance within their classroom. Thus requiring them to place certain pupils who have been racialized and labelled through media and political discourse as 'suspect', namely Muslim children and young people (Lander 2016). Yet the role of the teacher should allow children and young people in our care the time and space to explore, articulate and share their developing ideas with respect to a range of social, cultural and moral issues (Revell and Elton-Chalcraft 2016). But the imperative to police any opposition to FBV has ironically served to silence the voices of Muslim children and young people curtailing their right to free speech and thereby infringing their liberty within the now securitised space of the classroom which at one time they may considered safe.

Rethink higher education as a crucial democratic public sphere in times of tyranny and authoritarianism is the main goal of this article. Tyranny and authoritarianism are not just the product of state violence and repression, but also thrive on popular docility, mass apathy, and a flight from moral responsibility. Moreover, democracy is being voted down and aggressively dismantled in many countries around the world. Critical public spheres from public radio to the public schools have been defunded, commercialized, and privatized transforming them from spheres of critical analysis to dumbed-down workstations for a deregulated and commodified culture. In this context, many institutions of higher education are more than willing to name buildings after corporate donors, accept gifts, and allow conservative and corporate funded research centers on their campuses. This paper also provides an overview about what is happening in Trump's America, where democratic governance is required to combat civic illiteracy promoted by so many medias. In conclusion, this work makes recom-mendations that provide an alternative to some of the oppressive conditions now shaping institutions of higher learning. ; Repensar la educación superior como una esfera pública democrática crucial en tiempos de tiranía y autoritarismo es el objetivo principal de este artículo. La tiranía y el autoritarismo no son sólo producto de la violencia y la represión del Estado, sino que también prosperan gracias a la docilidad popular, la apatía de las masas y la huida de la responsabilidad moral. Además, la democracia está siendo rechazada y desmantelada agresivamente en muchos países del mundo. Las esferas públicas críticas, desde la radio pública hasta las escuelas públicas, han sido desfinanciadas, comercializadas y privatizadas, transformándolas de esferas de análisis crítico a estaciones de trabajo más tontas para una cultura desregulada y mercantilizada. En este contexto, muchas instituciones de educación superior están más que dispuestas a nombrar edificios con nombres de donantes corporativos, aceptar regalos y permitir que los centros de investigación conservadores y financiados por las empresas se instalen en sus campus. Este documento también ofrece una visión general de lo que está ocurriendo en la América de Trump, donde se requiere una gobernanza democrática para combatir el analfabetismo cívico promovido por tantos medios de comunicación. En conclusión, este trabajo hace recomendaciones que proporcionan una alternativa a algunas de las condiciones opresivas que ahora conforman las instituciones de enseñanza superior.

AbstractCorruption has been identified as a major debilitating factor in tax revenue generation, especially in developing countries. This study examines the effects of perceived political corruption on tax compliance intention and investigates the mediating roles of tax morale and tax tolerance among private businesses in Ghana. Data were collected with a questionnaire from 1133 private firms randomly sampled in the Greater Accra Region. Estimation was done using structural equation modelling with maximum likelihood estimation techniques. The study finds that perceived political corruption diminishes tax morale, tolerance and compliance intentions. Moreover, tax tolerance and tax morale enhance compliance intentions. Again, tax morale and tax tolerance partially mediate the relationship between perceived political corruption and tax compliance intention, reducing corruption's negative effects on intentions to comply with tax obligations. Finally, these tax compliance behaviours vary with education, age of business, sectors and firm size. The government of Ghana needs to focus on voluntary tax compliance by convincingly fighting corruption, especially by tightening fiscal loopholes.

Дается анализ организации воспитательного процесса в учительских семинариях Восточной Сибири в начале ХХ века. Показано, что новые веяния, подходы, наполняющие, преобразующие воспитательный процесс, способствовали усилению военно-патриотического и гражданского воспитания учащихся, которое особенно рельефно проявилось в годы Первой мировой войны. Заметно возросло внимание к работе с воспитанниками по трудовому физическому и эстетическому воспитанию в результате расширения номенклатуры обязательных и необязательных учебных предметов, возрастания участия семинаристов во внеурочной деятельности. Установлены недостатки в воспитательной работе, проявлявшиеся в виде формализма, высокомерия, в нехватке квалифицированных специалистов и недоукомплектованности необходимым оборудованием соответствующих помещений. Подчеркнуто, что расширение и углубление содержания воспитательного процесса несли в себе признаки развития гуманистических тенденций, связанных с возрастанием учета возможностей личности. ; The article analyzes the organization of educational process in teachers' seminaries of Eastern Siberia in the early twentieth century.
