Both of these areas are key to engagement with education and the other side of the coin, disengagement from education. It is this very theme of engagement that is brought to the fore in another reviewed book, focusing on the complexity of needs of those who have fallen outside education or employment systems. The fourth reviewed book interrogates socio-cultural dimensions to autism in childhood, with implications for stimulating educational environments to engage those with autism. 2016-04-01T00:00:00Z https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/10007 Title: Short research report : exploring resilience development in a Taiwanese preschooler’s narrative : an emerging theoretical model Authors: Lin, Kuan-Ling Olivia Abstract: Short Research Report:Exploring resilience development in a Taiwanese preschooler’s narrative: An emerging theoretical model. 2016-04-01T00:00:00Z https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/10006 Title: How can we prevent and reduce bullying amongst university students? Authors: Myers, Carrie-Anne; Cowie, Helen Abstract: While it has long been recognized that bullying occurs at school and in the workplace, recent research confirms that bullying also takes place among university students, including undergraduates, post-graduates and doctoral research students. In the UK, the National Union of Students (NUS) alerted staff and students to the issue in a series of reports but it is not confined to the UK. Authors in the book edited by Cowie and Myers (2016a, 2016b) present cross-national findings on the theme of bullying among university students (Pörhöla et al., 2016). In this article we discuss the urgent need for interventions to prevent and reduce bullying in this context. We also indicate the areas where little or no intervention is taking place, notably in the field of university policy. 2016-04-01T00:00:00Z
