Through education conflicts, poverty, socio-economic injustice, distrust and constant threats to peace can be eradicated. Education is a powerful tool which can bring positive change, prosperity and justice. Conflict resolution and promotion of peace within the societies and with other nations of world can also bring through education .Role of educational institutions are always been considered most important and powerful to bring different cultures and nations closer. Mutual conflicted issues has created uncertainty and distrust in both countries. The wars of 1965, 1971 and recently Kargil conflict in 1999, cross border terrorism and blame game has pushed the relations into uncertain conditions of distrust. The South Asian University is window of integration where both countries students got the chance to get education under one roof. Objectives of establishing South Asian University for closer integration of SAARC countries is still a big challenge for the member nations as it can be used for the peace promotion and people to people connection. In this research paper the objectives and input of South Asian University is examine for bringing nations closer through education. The study examines the role of university to bring the students of Pakistan and India closer and for developing the atmosphere of friendship and trust in both nations. The study examines the civil society connectivity and different kinds of CBMs in both nations' students by using the platform of university and its impacts on Pak-India relations and developing the peace in the region.

This article reports the findings of a case study of sibling interaction between a young man with Down syndrome and his three brothers. The case study was conducted as part of a larger study of the social relationships of 10 students with moderate to severe disabilities. Data were collected by ethnographic interviews with family members and key personnel in the student's school and community, and by participant observation of a range of home, school, and community activities. Data from the case study of sibling relationships are compared to data on the target student's interactions with nonfamily peers. Findings indicate that, within the family context, a range of sibling roles and of activities for the target student seemed to compensate for the target student's limited participation in sibling play activities. Outside of the family, the need for peer facilitation and advocacy was essential for the target student to be included successfully. The discussion offers a consideration of how schools can foster a sense of belonging that will encourage peer accommodations without creating unrealistic demands on students, both with and without disabilities.

Recent events involving police, including the death of George Floyd, have led to an intense dispute among Americans over police conduct. Feelings that individuals have towards law enforcement may be shaped through interactions that they have with police. Others maybe influenced by interactions that others have experienced, whether that be their friends, what they have witnessed, or what they have seen on television. Studies such as the Brunson and Pegram, Etkins, Smith and Hawkins, Weitzer and Tuch, and Worden and McLean all share similar results, which can be expected in this research involving college students. The studies have shown the impact that negative interactions (directly or indirectly) have on negative feelings towards police. Specifically, Brunson and Pegram demonstrated that "study participants who reported positive police experiences were more likely to rate officers favorably, compared to those who described their interactions as negative" (Brunson and Pegram). All of these studies provide excellent information, but they were all conducted prior to the events that occurred in 2020 and none were found to show an interest in college students. The data in this new study were obtained through a short survey that was sent out to Winona State students. The survey included questions regarding individual interactions with police and the feelings, attitudes, and comfort levels that resulted, along with questions regarding what students would like to see changed with law enforcement. Based on the findings of the Brunson and Pegram, Etkins, Smith and Hawkins, Weitzer and Tuch, and Worden and McLean, it is expected that college students will yield similar results including things such as relation between experiences and how an individual perceives law enforcement.

Using narrative inquiry, I tell the story of an Asian Indian student attending a large mid-Atlantic university who approached me in the summer of 2002 for my master's thesis interview. She was an Indian by birth who was adopted by White parents when she was an infant. She had not been to India since. Her story provided me with rich insights into her life including her childhood, identity formation, relationships with her adoptive parents and siblings, and social interactions outside home while attending school. I came to understand issues of meaning-making of her life and sub-culture through her story. I use narrative inquiry as a way to represent her story.

The construction of gender and race are constantly negotiated by community members, and both categories affect the way speakers see themselves and others. By analysing a Latina student's narrative, this study explores how she articulates through the use of several indexical processes, not only her own identity but also her friend's, in order to explain how their classmates perceive them. In this narrative, the speaker explains how different levels of femininity, 'girly American' versus 'girly Latina', affect the way Latinas are perceived and, in some cases, treated in discriminatory ways. This analysis finds that her articulation of different levels of femininity, and her arguments about how different stereotypes associated with Latinas may cause discrimination, shows how the construction of gender and race are interrelated and fluid, and how there are certain performances of gender more acceptable than others even within the heterosexual norm. This analysis shows how language practices are fundamental to create and circulate ideologies about gender and ethnicity, and how essential it is to understand these practices in order to recognise and challenge the discrimination faced by minority groups in the United States, especially women of colour.

This article advances our understanding of institutional interaction by showing when and how it can be advantageous for professionals to treat addressed recipients as non-unique. Examining how teachers talk about children-as-students during parent–teacher conferences, this investigation illuminates several specific interactional methods that teachers use to depersonalize the focal student's trouble, delineating as among these the novel practice of 'routinizing' – citing first-hand experience with other similar cases. Analysis demonstrates how teachers use routinizing to enact their expertise, both responsively as a vehicle for attenuating and credentialing their advice-giving to parents/caregivers, and proactively to pre-empt parent/caregiver resistance to their student assessments/evaluations. This research thus reveals how routinizing licenses teachers' authority vis-à-vis the focal student's trouble by making salient the epistemic basis for their claims.

Indonesia's government and some schools, from primary education to higher educational institutions, use online learning or study from home (SFH) to prevent the spread of the corona-19 virus. The study aims to describe the role of motivation and learning style in students performing during Covid-19 pandemic. This study is applied research that focuses on teaching style and motivation to give some alternative solutions on learning methods to accountancies students who do online learning at home. The results of this research show that some participants get weary because of no motivation and learning style due to obstacles at home. Those obstacles are internet network, a less conducive atmosphere to study, learning style change, and less interaction between students and college teachers. In conclusion, future research is expected to explore more deeply other factors related to the condition of SFH and their influence on the level of motivation and student learning styles.

The current paper examines the concept and characteristics of human identity and how those have been historically discussed by theorists from diverse fields, focusing particularly on international students who study abroad. The aim of this report is to investigate how international students shape their multiple selves during their time overseas by drawing on social and cultural factors. Relevant empirical studies are reviewed from the standpoint of sociological, socio-cultural, and dialogical theories. Reviewing the literature allowed this study to arrive at some conclusions. First, international students construct their identity through complex, dynamic, and constant processes, and this identity is subject to continually change as per social interactions and circumstances rather than being acquired as biological determinants. Second, language is a crucial factor in the process of identity construction. Implications and limitations are discussed as well.

Communication is the essence of interpersonal relations. The outcomes of all the activities we carry out depend on how we communicate, and in spite of the fact that it is essential that we prove our communication skills, we are poorer and poorer at doing so. Our study aims at revealing whether and to what extent young graduates of Romanian universities are aware of the importance of acquiring, practising and improving their communication skills, the more so that such abilities are decisive when it comes to achieving success in one's career. Our study was conducted between 2-13 May, 2019 on the basis of an online questionnaire. The research methodology used in order to achieve the objectives formulated in the study consists in quantitative research, by means of a survey supported via an online questionnaire. The analysis of the data collected by means of the questionnaire was done using techniques such as: frequency of occurence of the answers to the questions addressed to the participants in the study, multiple response analysis and, where appropriate, in order to enhance the interpretation of the results, the calculation of the interquartiles applied to the questions quoted on a 10 point Likert-type scale. The 195 answers received were validated, analysed and processed econometrically using the SPSS for Windows and ANOVA applications. On the one hand, We have noticed that universities do not ensure minimum training to the future graduates with respect to the acquisition and development of communication and negotiation skills. For this matter we intend to extend the study in the near future, to see if this is the result of a lack of concern/interest on the part of the universities and/or on the part of future graduates. At the same time, we have found that the future university graduates are not stimulated to become aware of the importance of developing their communication and negotiation skills or to actively participate in various forms of scientific interaction such as national or international scientific sessions, round tables, meetings with outstanding representatives of the business environment, etc. Obviously, we are aware of the limitations of our study. Thus, we consider that its addressability was rather restricted. The group of respondents included very young graduates of economic higher education institutions. On the other hand, the respondents were not previously selected, so that there is the risk that the points of view expressed would be based not only on experience, but on intuition. Extending the respondent base (both in terms of age/expertise and field of activity) is also and important point for future action. Finally, we have formulated several proposals meant to contribute, in our opinion, to giving more importance to the training and development of business communication and negotiation abilities as a prerequisite of career success.

"We develop a Roy model of social interactions in which individuals sort into peer groups based on comparative advantage. Two key results emerge: First, when comparative advantage is the guiding principle of peer group organization, the effect of moving a student into an environment with higher-achieving peers depends on where in the ability distribution she falls and the effective wages that clear the social market. In this sense our model may rationalize the widely varying estimates of peer effects found in the literature without casting group behavior as an externality in agents' objective functions. Second, since a student's comparative advantage is typically unobserved, the theory implies that important determinants of individual choice operate through the error term and may, even under random assignment, be correlated with the regressor of interest. As a result, linear in means estimates of peer effects are not identified. We show that the model's testable prediction in the presence of this confounding issue-an individual's ordinal rank predicts her behavior, ceteris paribus-is borne out in two data sets"--National Bureau of Economic Research web site

This article is aimed to study the relationship between democratic parenting pattern, educative interaction, learning motivation of primary school students. Two independent variables in this experimental research are democratic parenting pattern and educational interactions, and the dependent variable is students' motivation. From the correlation analysis it can be stated that (1) there is a positive and significant relationship between parenting pattern and student motivation (r=0,559). Democratic parenting pattern and related closely to student's learning motivation; (2) there is a positive and significant relationship between students interaction and student motivation (r=0,720). Students interaction gives a strong impact on improving student's motivation; and (3) there is a positive and significant relationship between parenting pattern, student's interaction and motivation (0,2109). The democratic parenting pattern and educational interaction give a strong impact on improving student's motivation. Kata kunci: democratic parenting, educational interaction, learning motivation

Immediate factual learning performance of profoundly deaf postsecondary students was compared as a result of pre-, post- or no adjunct questions interspersed throughout a passage of prose. Analyses revealed a position-by-reading ability interaction. While pre-questions yielded the highest learning performance for low ability readers, post-questions resulted in significantly greater learning performance for high ability readers. Findings are discussed in terms of question position, student's reading ability, and text difficulty
