Abstract

Student leadership is well-known for enhancing student engagement in extracurricular activities of the schools. But very little research has been pursuedparticularly in Bangladesh on how the student leadership contributes to curricular activities and improves better learning experiences of students in secondary schools. In 2015, the Government of Bangladesh introduced Student Cabinet in the secondary schools with a view to inculcate democratic values among the pupils and to foster learning environment in schools. And, in this study, I examine how the Student Cabinet as a leadership tool influences academic activities: classroom and nonclassroom activities and supports for an effective learning atmosphere in the school. To that purpose, I follow the qualitative methodology of in-depth interview, focus group discussion, and observation of the student cabinet’s actions in a selected school in Dhaka city. After an examination of its activities, the study reveals that it promotes many curricular activities of the school and minimizes the gaps of learning experiences at least a bit; however, their several activities are likely to link to traditional student politics in Bangladesh in future.
学生内阁与课程活动:以孟加拉一所中学为例
学生领导以提高学生在学校课外活动中的参与度而闻名。但是很少有研究,特别是在孟加拉国,关于学生领导如何为课程活动做出贡献,并改善中学学生的学习体验。2015年,孟加拉国政府在中学引入了学生内阁,旨在向学生灌输民主价值观,并营造学校的学习环境。而且,在本研究中,我考察了学生内阁作为一种领导工具如何影响学术活动:课堂和非课堂活动,并支持学校有效的学习氛围。为此,我在达卡市选定一所学校,采用深度访谈、焦点小组讨论和观察学生会行动的定性方法。通过对其活动的考察,研究表明,它促进了学校的许多课程活动,并至少减少了学习经验的差距;然而,他们的一些活动可能会与孟加拉国传统的学生政治联系在一起。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Educational Research is a well-known and respected periodical that reaches an international audience of educators and others concerned with cutting-edge theories and proposals. For more than 100 years, the journal has contributed to the advancement of educational practice in elementary and secondary schools by judicious study of the latest trends, examination of new procedures, evaluation of traditional practices, and replication of previous research for validation. The journal is an invaluable resource for teachers, counselors, supervisors, administrators, curriculum planners, and educational researchers as they consider the structure of tomorrow''s curricula. Special issues examine major education issues in depth. Topics of recent themes include methodology, motivation, and literacy. The Journal of Educational Research publishes manuscripts that describe or synthesize research of direct relevance to educational practice in elementary and secondary schools, pre-K–12. Special consideration is given to articles that focus on variables that can be manipulated in educational settings. Although the JER does not publish validation studies, the Editors welcome many varieties of research--experiments, evaluations, ethnographies, narrative research, replications, and so forth.
