For African American youth of low socioeconomic status (SES), who fear losing communal and ethnic solidarity to Blacks who are moving into the middle class, insults related to selling out are often unconscious reactions to possible abandonment (Comer & Poussaint 1992). Sticking together based on a common racial identity is especially important for African American students who are bused into White schools in White neighborhoods. As the Black middle class continues to grow and to move into the suburbs, many positive role models who have the ability to transmit social capital in the form of educational outcomes move also. This is why the success of the few African Americans who are academically successful make those who are not feel even more like failures (Comer & Poussaint 1992). Add the fact that both Blacks and Whites reinforce success for athleticism, and you have yet another impetus for African American males to gravitate toward sports for cultural affiliation and personal validation.

Textbooks as a dominant learning source of HOTs have not been fulfilled which can influence the growth of HOTs in vocational students. Mix method explanatory HOT HOT design starting from the collection and analysis of quantitative data followed by qualitative data collection and analysis that builds on the initial results of the quantitative data. Analysis of the fulfillment of HOTs Indicators in Vocational High School Applied Science learning about "Material and its Changes" in BC 3.6 and 4 (four) Indicators and BC.4.6. with the percentage of cognitive level HOTs still at the level of analyzing (C4) of 62.9%, the level of evaluating (C5) of 14.3%, and the level of creating (C6) of 22.9%. The next 112 descriptors of the assessment component are based on 14 indicators and 8 Indicators HOTs, 21 material items, 9 self-ability tests, 20 Multiple Choice competency test questions, and 5 essay questions. With the recapitulation results of HOTs fulfillment of 30.4% high criteria, 42.9% medium criteria, and 26.8% low criteria. The fullness of HOTs Indicator by 50.7% in the study of the Applied Science Textbook of Vocational School/MAK Class X Semester I in KD.3.6 Analyzing the Material and its Changes and BC. 4.6 Conducting Experiments on Material Change and Mixed Separation. HOTs are difficult to identify in a short time because they are not instant, but can be identified through a series of HOTs activities by determining learning resources in textbooks and appropriate learning settings for developing high-level thinking habits.

It is a common norm to describe education as being fundamental to employment and growth in developing economies. While the highest rate of return is believed to be most experienced in those economies with both skilled and unskilled labour, the greatest responsibility lies with the highly qualified in education as they are most significant in policy formulation. Despite this, youth unemployment has remained a challenge in the 21st century that most developing countries like Kenya struggle with. This paper entails a study undertaken to explore the management of youth unemployment in Kenya, with a focus on learning preferences of postgraduate students. The study employed a descriptive survey design using the cross-sectional approach to data collection. The population of the study comprised 397 post-graduate students at Africa International University from which a sample size of 199 post-graduate Diploma, Masters’ level and Doctoral students were obtained. Questionnaire guide was used f...
