This particular discussion intersect a multidisciplinary approach and present positive images of aging and the pivotal role educators play in its process. There are some theories that promote and reveal adult education with a higher purpose, and still, there are some theories that inhibit such growth and transformation. In particular, biological, psychological (cognitive and psychomotor), and socio-economic dimensions influences the ability for adults to function in their environment as a whole. Regardless of the differences individuals possess, adult learners are linked with the power of dialogue, and the willingness to make their own decisions. This paper intends to capture readers’ mind to embrace the complexities adult learners face in education and the scope of mind-body connection pertaining to their decisions in adulthood and to make sense of the diverse and multidimensional development of adults for the purpose of their education. In a larger sense, the most important tasks of adult learning and education are meaningful feedback and communication skills that are necessary to facilitate their learning process.

For instance, student mathematics achievement rate has decreased or remained unchanged over the last few decades (“NAEP – 2015 Mathematics,” 2015; Provasnik, Stephens, & Perkins, 2016). Moreover, when students advance through grade-levels in school their attitudes toward mathematics often decrease (Ing & Nylund-Gibson, 2017; Mullis et al., 2016; Tuohilampi et al., 2014). This quantitative study aims to measure changes in attitudes toward mathematics across the middle school years. Five attitudinal factors emerged from the study: (1) self-efficacy and self-concept beliefs, (2) motivation to succeed in mathematics, (3) value of mathematics, (4) mathematics anxiety and stress, and (5) enjoyment of mathematics. By using a modified survey instrument and analysis of variance tests, the researcher found significant decreases in the areas of motivation to succeed in mathematics, value of mathematics, and enjoyment of mathematics among 547 sixth, seventh, and eighth graders. As a secondary analysis, the researcher found key differences in attitudes between the two traditional genders, and between standard level and advanced level mathematics classes, and among different races. In these analyses, the reported highest levels of positive attitudes toward mathematics were male, Asian, and students in the advanced level mathematics classes. Additionally, the researcher found correlations among the five factors which revealed multiple key associations.

To clear up any misinformation, action research is not the only research methodology known to scholars to explore questions of professional interest. This paper also draws on educational leaders and school administrators role in ensuring that teachers utilize action research to solve immediate, and somewhat, pressing issues in the classroom and academic environment. For example, exploring other research methods such as quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods to solve issues in the academic environment may take several months or even years to get departmental and participant consent, research approval, extended data collection strategies, and research designs and apparatus, however, action research method models qualitative or quantitative practice and activities to clarify vision, theories, collect data, and even planning and reflection in the academic or workplace environment.

One’s response varies on his/her attitude towards religion and non-believers. There are five different death attitudes: (a) neutral acceptance which suggest that death is a part of life; (b) approach acceptance which holds a positive attitude towards death because one will have a happy afterlife; (c) escape acceptance wherein death is welcomed and seen as a way out for a life filled with pain, misery, and suffering; (d) fear of death is when a sense of fear is evoked by confrontations with death; (e) and death avoidance is when an individual avoids the topic of death in order to reduce death anxiety (Harding, Flannelly, Weaver, & Costa, 2005; Wong, 2008). While religious believers were able to forgive and found overall improved health; religion increased death anxiety as compared to non-believers. However, religion further helped with coping with the inevitable, death. Many studies found that there is a negative correlation between death anxiety and death acceptance. Despite religion helping one cope, it is also a source of stress for an individual facing death due to questioning their life choices and good deeds. This paper employs meta-analysis of seminal knowledge and statistical analysis to examine if religion influences death attitudes from mental health perspective.

It is imperative that educators take an active role in implementing programs that identify students struggling with mental health issues and provide interventions to teach healthy coping strategies so that students are able to be more active participants in their education. There are many ways in which educators can work with adolescents; providing tools to effectively manage emotions can assist students in moving forward, problem solving, decision making, and connecting with others. It is suggested that individuals with more highly developed emotional intelligence are more successful personally and professionally. This paper explores the relationship of emotional intelligence and resiliency in adolescents and how it relates to academic and personal success. Explanations of emotional intelligence and resiliency are given. Several techniques and methods of building these skills are explored as well.

Through the various stages of gay identity development, which contains six stages developed by Cass, 1979; identity confusion, identity comparison, identity tolerance, identity acceptance, identity pride, and identity synthesis, we understand how complex gay identity is for these individuals. Logistically, understanding how gay identity development differs from heterosexuality identity development gives insight into the unique challenges gay individuals encounter. Navigating an identity through hate and prejudice presents itself with unique challenges for gay and lesbian individuals who are struggling with forming a healthy identity. It is through these challenges that gay and lesbian individuals suffer from higher rates of physical and mental health issues. This paper is a review of the literature and seminal knowledge to gain and gather an in-depth understanding of human behavior and the experiences and reasons that govern such behavior. The author’s role in this paper was to examine the how and why of decisions that such individuals make and encounter as demonstrated by numerical and statistical research analysis of literature reviews. Combating these mental health issues is a key goal for mental health professionals who are treating these gay and lesbian individuals.

Since its independence in 1957, Ghana has never had an established international virtual high school. Although the country’s educational system is expanding and recently accredited national universities have introduced distance education programs for its enrolled students and international students. The advantages of a private international virtual high school are endless as it would streamline convenience to education as well as give equitable access to students to be given an international education. Using social media (facebook messenger, imo, and WhatsApp) settings to recruit, interview, and interact with participants who were selected from a purposive sampling, the researcher explored the perceptions of 12 parents who pay tuition at private international high schools and 12 college students who were enrolled at private international high schools in Ghana. The researcher conducted a qualitative methodology research study through a constructivist design approach and emphasized on descriptive (survey), open ended questions, and semi-structured interviews to determine the feasibility of establishing a private international virtual high school in Ghana. Five major themes with sub-themes and five code categories emerged from the data collection and analysis, memos, and field notes. The study was guided by three research questions which were open ended questions that allow participants to share their experiences.
