Abstract Details

2018, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Agricultural and Extension Education.
The purpose of this phenomenological study was to understand why the youth of Choluteca, Honduras decided to shift away from a no work and no school attitude, and why they decided to return to study at the Vocational School. Data was collected by individual interviews and included the students as active participants, using photovoice methodology. The most emergent theme of the study was the issues that contributed to the students being “ninis” (out of school and out of work). There were two major sub-themes of not studying and not working. These two themes, along with the ages of the students (15-17-year olds), are the three defining factors of being a “nini” in Latin American Countries. The sub-theme of not studying included the categories of economic needs, system failure, lack of student incentive, and student’s suggestions for improving their options for education. In the second sub-theme, the students’ lived experience of not working is described and interpreted.
