Abstract Science education should promote the development of competent students in science and develop their interest in science; however, although the role and relevance of science within society is evident; the interest towards it is not conscious, being the negative attitudes of the students the main problem in the teaching of physics, which translates into a deficient knowledge and lack of scientific vocation. This report aims to diagnose the attitudes of students in high school physics courses. The study was developed through a non-experimental, descriptive research design, obtained from the application of a Likert scale that evaluates attitudes towards physics, adapted and validated to the context of students in an educational institution in Colombia. The results indicate that the attitudes of the students are slightly favorable, which is an empirical precedent to continue with the studies on attitudes towards physic. This should be considered to enhance the learning processes in these students, especially for those who have their first approach to physical concepts and give importance to attitudes when teaching.

The article deals with literary and artistic life at the Kremenets Ukrainian Gymnasium named after Ivan Steshenko. On the basis of archival materials the teaching staff of the educational institution, which functioned in the territory of the Second Rzeczpospolita, was studied. The author notes that the main component of state formation in the years of the Ukrainian People's Republic was the formation and development of Ukrainian national education and culture. The first step in implementing the national school reform was the creation of conditions for the introduction of the Ukrainian language in high school and the opening of new Ukrainian gymnasia. Numerous documents stored in the State Archives of the Ternopil region (351, «Private Ukrainian Gymnasium of Joint Training in Kremenets»), reveal the activity of the educational institution and confirm its prominent role in the educational life of the Ukrainian population of Kremenets. The researcher emphasizes the pedagogical skills of the teaching staff of the Kremenets Ukrainian Gymnasium, and the understanding of the important role of education in the process of preserving national dignity and spirituality contributed to the formation of students' professional and intellectual development. In its activity, the Ukrainian gymnasium has repeatedly faced difficulties: lack of funding, lack of premises adapted properly to educational needs, lack of appropriate material and technical base, but it became the center of high culture and education.

The designing of high school / Islamic high school physics comic teaching materials has been done to improve students' critical thinking skills in Newton's Law material. The purpose of this research is to determine to develop a physics comic for high school / Islamic high school based on problem-based learning (PBL) to improve the creative thinking skills of students at MAN Sebukar. The research method used is the research and development method, namely the 4D development method which consists of 4 phases: defining, designing, developing and disseminating. At the defining stage, need analysis on curriculum, students, and materials were carried out. The designing stage was done by designing high school / Islamic high school physics comics based on problem based learning to improve students' creative thinking skills. At the developing stage, validity, practicality and effectiveness tests were carried out. Furthermore, the disseminating stage also carried out the practicality and effectiveness tests. At the defining stage, the analysis on results of the students’ score showed the low acquisition of students competencies is due to the low creative thinking skills of students, so a teaching material is designed that is in accordance with the student's needs, materials, and learning objectives that is expected to improve students’ learning competence, namely physics comics for senior high school students/Islamic senior high school students. Furthermore, at the designing stage, an initial draft of PBL-based for / Islamic high school physics comics was made in accordance with the curriculum used in the school where the research was conducted. And in the next stage, namely the developing stage, the analysis results were obtained from the development of physics comics for high school / Islamic high school which have valid (0.85), practical (94.67%), and effective criteria for skill assessment that are judges as very good category. And the final stage after developing stage, namely the disseminating stage, researchers carried out practicality and effectiveness tests in different classes and the practicality test results were obtained in the very practical category, namely 94.33% from students’ response questionnaires and effectiveness test results from the assessment of students knowledge with a percentage of completeness reaching 82.33. % in the very good category, the students' attitude competency reached an average score of 87.43% in the very good category, the skills competency reached an average score of 89.17% with the very good category. The designing of PBL-based high school / Islamic high school physics comics is able to improve students' creative thinking skill since it eventually gives impact on students’ scores.

<p class="Abstrak">Idealnya, semakin tinggi jumlah pendaftar di suatu institusi pendidikan, semakin tinggi kualitas dari mahasiswa yang diterima. Akan tetapi, kondisi ideal ini tidak dicapai oleh Fakultas Sains dan Teknologi (FST) UIN Suska Riau disebabkan karena sedikitnya jumlah mahasiswa yang berasal dari sekolah menengah unggul yang mendaftar sebagai mahasiswa di FST UIN Suska Riau. Berdasarkan survey terhadap dosen di FST UIN Suska, masih terdapat kendala yang cukup besar dalam proses transfer ilmu kepada mahasiswa terutama dalam hal daya tangkap dan pemahaman mahasiswa terhadap materi ajar. Oleh karena itu, analisis lebih lanjut mengenai mahasiswa saat ini diperlukan untuk merancang sebuah strategi bagaimana menarik minat siswa yang berasal dari sekolah menengah unggul untuk mendaftar sebagai mahasiswa di FST UIN Suska Riau. Metodologi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah segmentasi mahasiswa menggunakan algoritma K-Means dan teknik kluster menggunakan algoritma Dunn Index. Pengumpulan data dilakukan sebanyak 614 mahasiswa FST tahun ajaran 2015 sampai 2017. Output dari segmentasi mahasiswa digunakan untuk menentukan target dari Marketing Mix 7P. Penelitian ini menghasilkan 2 kluster mahasiswa dengan nilai <em>Dunn Index</em> 1,99. Kuesioner disebarkan kepada mahasiswa dari dua kluster yang berbeda tersebut dan hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa terdapat tiga variabel Marketing Mix yang berpotensi untuk meningkatkan target pasar yaitu <em>people, product, dan place</em>.</p><p class="Abstrak"> </p><p class="Abstrak"><em><strong>Abstract</strong></em></p><p class="Judul2"><em>Ideally, the higher number of registrant in an educational institution, the higher quality of the accepted students.
