Reaching Out-Of-School Children by Alana-Joy Galacgac https://padlet.com/alanajoy_g/k3xtve34alft EDGI 508 Feb. 5, 2017 en-us 2017-02-04 00:25:27 UTC 2017-02-06 00:26:03 UTC hello@padlet.com Potential Research Problem alanajoy_g https://padlet.com/alanajoy_g/k3xtve34alft/wish/151584239 I am interested in studying the initiatives dedicated toward reaching out-of-school children of the world. To narrow my study, I would focus on the children of Sub-Saharan Africa and the global challenges faced by these marginalized children. With over 120 million children and adolescents currently out of primary and lower secondary school worldwide (globalpartnership.org) I would like to investigate this global issue, its progress and its future agenda for reaching such a wide population of our world’s youth. ]]> 2017-02-04 01:16:43 UTC https://padlet.com/alanajoy_g/k3xtve34alft/wish/151584239 Research Approach alanajoy_g https://padlet.com/alanajoy_g/k3xtve34alft/wish/151584256 For my study, I will use a qualitative research approach. I am still unsure of the methods I would use for my study. However, I think it would make sense to go with a narrative approach, oral history and life history – based off my findings. I would examine the lives of the out of school children through the research literature I have found, in order to create a narrative that is collected through my interpretation of the sub-Saharan African culture. (I am not sure how I can personally conduct my own data for this research topic and so I would need some help in this area if that is required.)]]> 2017-02-04 01:17:14 UTC https://padlet.com/alanajoy_g/k3xtve34alft/wish/151584256 Research Q's related to the problem alanajoy_g https://padlet.com/alanajoy_g/k3xtve34alft/wish/151584277 - Who are the out of school children?

In many of the research articles I have found, studies using in-depth interviews of groups of children as well as family - these interviews were aimed at exploring personal, scholastic, social and socio-economic domains which relate to children’s non-attendance at school (Poreteus et. al, 2000). Surveys were also conducted and carried out throughout schools in the literature I have found as well as through document analysis. In examining the comparative analysis of the problem, Maya (2014) did a document analysis that focus on the out of school children and those children who have dropped out, specifically looking at children of Turkey, Japan and USA.]]> 2017-02-05 04:37:26 UTC https://padlet.com/alanajoy_g/k3xtve34alft/wish/151637596 Sources alanajoy_g https://padlet.com/alanajoy_g/k3xtve34alft/wish/151700309 Majgaard, K., & Mingat, A.
