“…These ndings may not only advance the re nement of the transformative SEL model, but also inform efforts to improve school-based psychosocial interventions for newcomer adolescents and ultimately students' mental health and wellbeing. Evidence shows that educators who exhibit an 'assimilationist' stance in regard to newcomer students' acculturation process, with the belief that they should strictly abide by the norms of their new school and the dominant culture of their new country, can have negative effects on sense of belonging and academic success (26,58). Thus, our ndings illuminate the need to expand the transformative SEL framework to pay more attention to questions of acculturation and cultural responsiveness (see Figure 1).…”

“…We recognize the limitation in analyzing student perspectives alone, especially as social desirability may bias what adolescents choose to share in peer focus groups, though we are encouraged by how forthcoming students were about both negative and positive experiences in these schools. It is also valuable to consider the perspectives of educators, parents, and district o cials to understand the full picture of current and future schoolwide measures aimed at supporting students' mental health and psychosocial wellbeing (26). Overall, student ideas and feedback rea rm the critical importance of efforts to improve SEL's attention to sociocultural equity, inclusion, and participation, principles that may be present to varying degrees across the wide range of SEL models and programs being used around the U.S. (17).…”

“…The evidence suggests that universal SEL promotes sustained positive mental health and psychosocial wellbeing among adolescents, including increased prosocial behaviors, reduced emotional distress, and improved academic performance (21)(22)(23)(24). SEL programming may provide a unique opportunity to create a more supportive environment for newcomers, and especially those arriving from con ict-affected contexts, who may bene t from their school's attention to values such as building social awareness and developing positive, caring relationships among students and school staff (25,26).…”

Background A growing literature has drawn attention to the central role that schools play in supporting the adjustment of resettled refugee youth and promoting their mental health and psychosocial wellbeing. In particular, the recent proliferation of school-based social and emotional learning (SEL) initiatives presents an opportunity to strengthen supports for resettled adolescents. This participatory research study aims to understand how high school students resettled from countries in the Middle East and North Africa region are experiencing the challenges and opportunities of acculturation and the ways in which they believe schools can better support them in this process.Methods We analyzed primary data collected during focus group discussions as part of the SALaMA study. During these discussions, we used participatory ranking methodology to elicit adolescents’ suggestions on how high schools can better support students both academically and psychosocially after resettlement. Fourteen focus group discussions were held with male and female adolescents (14-20 years), selected purposively across six public high schools in Harrisonburg, Virginia, Austin, Texas, and Detroit, Michigan. Participants offered suggestions and then ranked them in order of importance using consensus ranking.Results Thematic analysis of the PRM results across sites produced a wealth of suggestions centered around three broad themes, namely: skills related to navigating social and academic challenges, culturally responsive teaching, and socially and culturally equitable learning environments. Conclusions Findings reported illustrate limitations of the conventional, universal SEL model and shed light on how schools can adapt transformative SEL strategies to serve their students better, especially newcomers from conflict-affected countries.

Masyarakat perlu mengetahui apa itu berita hoax untuk mencegah atau mengurangi dampak negatif dari berita hoax tersebut, serta bersikap lebih bijaksana dalam menanggapi perkembangan teknologi informasi dan menelaah kebenaran dari informasi sebelum dibagikan ke orang lain. Cepatnya penyebaran informasi tetap perlu disikapi dengan tenang dan jernih. Masyarakat harus lambat dalam mempercayai informasi yang diperoleh dengan memastikan kembali ke beberapa sumber yang terpercaya. Adanya “Sosialisasi Anti Hoaks” ini bertujuan untuk mengenalkan kepada warga Desa Kepunduhan Kecamatan Kramat Kabupaten Tegal. Memberikan sosialisasi kepada warga Desa Kepunduhan Kecamatan Kramat Kabupaten Tegal akan pentingnya mengakses berita. Untuk solusinya sendiri masyarakat tentu harus menyaring berita terlebih dahulu tidak langsung mensharringnya. Tentu jika hal demikian bisa dilakukan akan sedikit mengurangi berita hoaks dimedia sosisal seperti facebook. Twitter, Instagram, Whatshap, dan media sosial lainnya. Dan diharapkan masyarakat harus sedikit pandai menilai mana yang berita hoaks bohongan alias rekayasa dan mana yang real nyata kebenarannya.
