Produktbeschreibung
In school social work perspective, newly
arrived Korean junior high students'' school
adjustment difficulties, coping, and
help seeking needs were examined. According to this
qualitative study, the results revealed that the
participants have not gone through
extremely hard time adjusting, but there were times
embarrassed, frustrated, or not-understandable, due
to different culture, norms, rules, and systems.
Things unclearly recognized by new students made
them just copied other peers'' behavior, did things
without knowing exactly, or just accepted passively.
They expressed some systematical or social work side
needs, though they did not know exactly what school
social workers do. They wanted some individual care
in classes, organized orientation for the different
school rules and system from Korean schools they
were used to, and also some group activities in
order to learn American peers'' culture to share and
make friends easily. Clinical, research and policy
implication were suggested based on this research
findings. This book shows student''s real
experience and opinions in their initial American
school adjustment in a very rich way.
