Student motivation is always a central concern of the junior high school teacher, particularly in mathematics. In the present article we offer a sample unit of mathematics instruction suitable for junior high school students, with two purposes in mind: (1) to illustrate a current theory of learning and motivation, and (2) to offer a model for the construction of other such units. The unit is purposely built around division, since that topic is commonly disliked by both teachers and students.

ABSTRACTNanotechnology and nanoscience have a strong potential to impact society and the commercial sector. It is critical to introduce this area to high school classrooms as a teaching tool. Here, we report the development of ferrofluid-based experimental modules in a team effort including a high school student and a high school teacher. The basic experimental modules were developed as follows: A) Electric motor-based patterning of magnetic nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes on a silicon wafer. Electromagnetically activated or ‘spiked’-ferrofluid was utilized here. B) Basic concepts of wettability, hydrophobicity, and oleophilicity were demonstrated by combining hydrophobic CNTs, water, and ferrofluids. C) Finally, the utility of ferrofluid-based environmental remediation was demonstrated for oil removal from oil-water mixture and organic dye separation from water-dye mixture. It is envisioned that the integration of the developed experimental modules into high school curriculum will motivate high school students to pursue degrees in science, engineering, and nanotechnology. Thus, this will assist in the development of future workforce in the area of nanotechnology and materials science.

A partnership between a community college biology professor and a local high school teacher was established to engage high school students in authentic microbiology research. High school students isolated actinomycetes from soil samples and tested them for their ability to produce antimicrobial chemicals. They also designed and carried out their own experiments with these isolates. Laboratory reports, written assignments, and quizzes were used to assess the scientific learning of the subject covered by the research project. The students' attitudes about science and scientific research were assessed using a standardized survey and written reflection questions. In completing this project, the students applied their knowledge of the scientific method and experimental design to address authentic research questions. They also learned several hands-on laboratory skills, including serial dilution, aseptic technique, isolation of pure cultures, Gram staining, microscopy, and antimicrobial testing. Student feedback was overwhelmingly positive – many expressed an increased interest in pursuing a career in science, and most felt that the project helped them gain confidence in their ability to do science. This project illustrates the importance of establishing partnerships between secondary schools and academic institutions to successfully introduce research to younger students.

During a summer's study under the auspices of the National Science Foundation,1 our History of Mathematics class encountered a most interesting Eulerian problem in infinite series. The problem is exemplary of an abundance of wonderfully rich and exciting historical materials. Acquiring a background in the history of mathematics is important to the high school teacher, for it provides an invaluable source of problem materials with which to capture the imagination and intellectual energies of students. High school mathematics curricula have often been criticized for not providing students with the opportunity to experience the excitement and the deep creative satisfaction of original se]f directed mathematical research. It is hoped that the development that fo1lows provides an example of a viable mathematics research project for secondary school students.

This present research aims to explore the meaning of jihad among Muslim youths in the context of junior high school students in Padang. Muslim youths at this level are considered to have unique characteristics in expressing diversity, including in the interpretation of jihad. This research discovered that there were five types of definitions of the meaning of jihad proposed by the respondents of the research. First, jihad was seen as earnest in worship, secondly; jihad was meant as being committed to work, third; jihad was interpreted as devotion to parents, fourth; jihad was interpreted as an effort to spread Islamic teachings and the fifth; Jihad was defined as a war against infidels. There were several sources which affected the way respondents interpreted the meaning of jihad, for instance, Islamic teacher (ustāż) around 85%, Quran teacher 73%, parents 59%, religion teacher in elementary school 54%, and junior high school teacher for 51%.

Today precisely in mid-2020 the world is horrified by the Corona Virus Disease-19 (Covid-19) outbreak that forces all elements of society to Work From Home (WFH). This is very difficult especially for educators because of face-to-face learning is removed, and it forces educators to use the information technology that is currently developing to support online learning. However, in its implementation there are obstacles because some applications such as google classroom, edmodo, zoom are very difficult to use and the class becomes less interactive, which underlies researchers to conduct research because the Instagram application is very user friendly and very familiar to be used by millennials and the use of the Instagram app as a biology learning media can make the class more interactive because there are live features that make it easier for teachers and students to interact. This research uses a mix method using a Likert scale ranging from 1-5 to the data processing. The data obtained came from a high school student questionnaire majoring in Natural Sciences. Based on research conducted by researchers and the results of the Instagram application questionnaire is very suitable as a medium of online or online biology learning this is because the Instagram application is very easy to use and is a familiar application among millennials, especially high school students.   Dewasa ini tepatnya pada pertengahan tahun 2020 dunia dihebohkan dengan wabah Corona Virus Disease-19 (Covid-19) yang memaksa semua elemen masyarakat untuk bekerja dari rumah atau Work From Home (WFH). Hal ini sangat menyulitkan terlebih lagi bagi tenaga pendidik karena pembelajaran tatap muka ditiadakan, dan memaksa tenaga pendidik untuk menggunakan teknologi infomasi yang berkembang saat ini untuk menunjang pembelajaran secara online. Akan tetapi dalam pelaksanaanya terdapat kendala karena beberapa aplikasi seperti google classroom, edmodo, zoom sangat sukar digunakan dan kelas menjadi kurang interaktif, hal ini yang mendasari peneliti melakukan penelitian karena aplikasi Instagram sangat user friendly dan sangat familiar digunakan oleh generasi milenial dan penggunaan apikasi Instagram sebagai media pembelajaran biologi dapat menjadikan kelas lebih interaktif karena terdapat fitur live yang memudahkan guru dan siswa untuk berinteraksi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode mix dengan menggunakan skala likert rentang 1-5 pada proses pengolahan data. Data yang diperoleh berasal dari kuesioner siswa SMA jurusan IPA. Berdasarkan penelitan yang dilakukan peneliti dan hasil dari kuesioner aplikasi Instagram sangat cocok dijadikan media pembelajaran biologi secara online atau daring hal ini dikarenakan aplikasi Instagram sangat mudah untuk digunakan dan merupakan aplikasi yang familiar dikalangan generasi milenial terutama siswa SMA. Kata kunci: COVID-19. Instagram, pembelajaran daring

Discipline in class is essential. Without it the educational processes and teachings are difficult. In this manner curricula goals are almost impossible to achieve. There are and there always will be some kind of conflicts between teachers and students, but they should not evolve to become a problem. Teachers (especially elderly teachers) often express pessimism of contemporary students. They say that today's students have less knowledge, they do misbehave more often than previous generations. A study among students was conducted. It was trying to determine the rate of discipline in schools in Celje to see if these statements are true. The questionnaire to students of one primary and one high school in Celje, Slovenia were distributed. The answers from 234 students were received. On the one hand, it was found out that senior high school students have the worst level of discipline of all the grades tested. They themselves assess their class atmosphere as less disciplined. They report that teachers use a lot of time to calm the class down. All this is probably a factor in lower average grade that the senior high school students have. On the other hand, it was found out that teachers do not react to the disturbance or they are trying to be repressive. These are not the correct ways of dealing with discipline issues. Therefore, there are some recommended ways how teachers should react. Keywords: discipline in class, primary school, contemporary student, elderly teachers.
