The Regional Research Program has potential for being the elite among research programs and to be a high status symbol for those associated with it. That it is not so means that it is not achieving its potential and that it is falling short of the original objectives. Since its inception, the regional research program has been praised and condemned. There appears to be more dissatisfaction than satisfaction with both the administrative procedures and the subject matter content of the program. Control of the program, the administrative structure and its effectiveness have been the subject of much discussion and debate. Some say the program has yielded little, and some of those who defend it do so on the basis that it has enabled researchers to meet and discuss their work, which in itself is worthwhile.

This study aims to describe the improvement of the learning process for writing argumentative paragraphs through a group investigation model for X6 grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Wonomulyo. This type of research is classroom action research which is carried out in two cycles. The subjects in this study were 39 students. Data collection is done by writing paragraphs in the form of argumentation tests and observations. Data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The results showed that the number of students who were active in choosing subject matter, exercises in determining facts or evidence that support paragraphs based on observations made, writing argumentative paragraphs, teacher performance in directing students, assigning students to choose subject matter, looking for references then conducting investigations, and writing argumentative paragraphs in the first cycle is 60,16% while in the second cycle it is 80,55%. The results of paragraph learning based on six aspects of scoring include argumentative characteristics, alignment of content with the subject matter, content organization, use of language (effective sentences), accuracy and accuracy of diction, and spelling and reading showed improvement. In the first cycle, the average value of writing argumentative paragraphs obtained was 71,53 with a sufficient score, students who got a score of 75 were 11 students (28,20%). In cycle II, the average value of writing argumentative paragraphs was 81.74 with good scores. Students who got a score of 75 were 33 students (84,16%). This shows that the learning outcomes have met the standard of success, namely 75%.

Project-based instruction has gained some popularity in general education and in second-language (L2) education. However, a review of the literature shows discrepancies between teachers' and students' evaluations of this activity. For example, general education teachers and students find that project-based instruction creates opportunities for in-depth learning of subject-matter content, which fosters student independence and problem-solving skills. However, English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers' and students' evaluations show mixed results. Although some anecdotal reports and one systematic research study show ESL teachers endorsing project-based instruction because it provides opportunities for comprehensible output and integrated language teaching, there is evidence that ESL students and at least one ESL teacher are frustrated by this form of instruction. These students felt that project-based instruction prevented them from learning from the teacher and textbooks and from focusing on language skills. The ESL teacher felt a loss of student respect and noted a drop in student attendance. These discrepancies are discussed from philosophical, cultural, and linguistic perspectives. Recommendations for research and pedagogy are proposed. For example, it is suggested that a framework be developed to aid ESL teachers in assisting their multicultural students to understand the benefits of project-based instruction in L2 learning.

The article deals with modern views on the concept of “nationally oriented foreign language teaching”, presented in the linguo-didactic discourse of domestic and foreign scholars of the last decades. The author reveals and characterizes its evolution as one of the basic concepts of Russian and Ukrainian language education as foreign languages. It is found that they relate to the subject matter, content, and operational components of this phenomenon. There are significant changes in the views of scholars on taking into account students’ native language in teaching these languages by speakers of languages with different systems. There is a growing interest in didactic and linguistic data processing of the analysis of Chinese and Russian (Ukrainian) languages and their practical implementation. In terms of content, priority is given to culturally oriented and ethno-psychological aspects of mastering foreign language in a monocultural and multicultural educational environment. The innovative approach to this issue is also manifested in the increasing attention of researchers to the peculiarities of cognitive, mental and educational activities of Chinese-speaking students, formed by the national linguistic and methodological tradition, which is radically different from the national communicative and active lingvodidactic paradigm and needs appropriate methodological correction. Prospects for further study of the issues raised in our investigation are related to the research of a number of “new” terms in the terminological field of the basic concept of “nationally oriented foreign language learning”, as well as from the normative and codification side.

“Worn Dresses” is realized as a creative experiment in 2017 at “Radikalno” hall of department “Sculpture” at The University of Veliko Tarnovo. Technically speaking the project is a continuation and development of an author’s method, which has been set and elaborated since 2007 till now. Inspired by elements of collage art, this technique offers unlimited abilities for an interpretation of shaping and spatial models. The conception “Worn Dresses” is a combination of two basic creational ideas. The first one is a synthesis of the subject matter content and the architectonics of visual objects viewed by a precise combination of practical and real social dimensions. The second one aims to create a united literary image of the exhibition, which itself without any negative context, translates the item “absence” as a condition of the dualistic character of Nature. In ability to realize the sensible insight which generates “absence” and “presence” as aims to affirm not just the physical essence of a human, but the humanity in the artistic fact. The experiment is an original shaping solution, an aspect of spatial relationships and author’s intrusion in between the intersection of a piece of art and audience.

From a pool of secondary students (n = 161), 20 students were chosen who had high (formal operations) scores and 20 who had low (concrete operations) scores on two paper-and-pencil measures of Piagetian formal reasoning (the Test of Logical Thinking and the Longeot Test). The students made similarity judgments among all possible concept pairs from 13 geometric concepts and 10 mathematical expressions from a unit on ratio, proportion, and similarity. Multidimensional scaling procedures showed that despite idiosyncrasies in individual structures, clear prototypical maps could be derived for both the formal and concrete groups. In addition, formal operational students structured subject matter content significantly more like subject matter experts than concrete operational students did.

The population in this study was the whole class X Social Education Science which consists of 126 students. The data collection in this research was taken through several methods, whicha are observation, questionnaire, and documentation. The result of this study shows that 77.7% of learning motivation, learning creativity, and self-confidence simultaneously affect the learning autonomy of economics subject of Senior High School 4 Tegal. The results of this study are expected to enable teachers to foster learning motivation, learning creativity and self-confidence of the students in order to form the character of independence. Students are expected to not only rely on the subject matter given by the teachers, but they must be more active and independent in learning to expand a broad insight about economy.
