The establishment of links between SAGASCO Resources Limited (SAGASCO) and secondary schools in the city and country regions of South Australia has provided benefits to both the petroleum industry and to the students and teachers at the schools. Links between Penola High School in the southeast of South Australia and Hamilton Secondary School in Adelaide began in 1993 and have continued to the present. Feedback from the schools has been positive and significant. The two schools have overwhelmingly endorsed the links and have benefited both in curriculum development and in gaining a glimpse of industry operations that is not found in textbooks. The benefits from the link process has also revealed a cascade effect in which students and teachers have utilised information on the petroleum industry and incorporated it into reports, publications and texts that have been further used by the schools and the community, thus enhancing the original link process. Links with schools require stronger support by the petroleum industry to meet the needs of schools and to provide balance to the often negative profile of our industry in the community both in the immediate and longer term.

AbstractThe school has come to not have a huge credibility even, sometimes being abandoned, primarily because, nowadays, no matter hierarchy and is not perceived as a value. The actual society no longer has trust in the educational establishment, the values acquired and ranked by the amount of learning embedded in it. Such an attitude is reflected by the relationship between “parent - teacher” and “student - teacher”. Based on these findings, the present study aims to investigate the main features of the relationship that is established between school and family, concerned how parents can get involved in school life effectively. The lot of subjects was represented by 212 teachers from secondary schools in Bihor, Romania and the instrument used in the research was a questionnaire consisting of 46 objective and subjective items. The results are very interesting and shows that many respondents argue that parents show indifference to the formal education of their children, not involved in the didactic or extracurricular activities and in school life, not take part in parent meetings or when called for, is difficult to communicate with parents etc. There are some cases when, because of the family economic situation is poor, parents send their children to work, offering less time and interest in their education and instruction.

Teacher Readiness

This study aims to determine the validity and reliability of Teacher Readiness to teach Quantum Physics (TRQP) instrument using Rasch Measurement Model. The TRQP was developed to measure the level of teacher readiness to teach quantum physics in secondary schools. TRQP consisted of 41 items containing three constructs namely: content knowledge, attitudes, and readiness. The research sample consisted of 30 Form Five Physics teacher from secondary schools in Sabah. The results of the validity analysis found that the polarity of the items through the PTMEA-CORR values showed that all 41 items were > 0.00 (+). Through item fit analysis, all items were retained because they met the requirements in one of the MNSQ, Outfit ZSTD, and PTMEA-CORR outfit ranges. In the Principal Component Analysis (PCA), the Raw Variance Explained by Measures value of 40.6% and the Unexplained variance value in the first to fifth contrast below 15% indicates that the instrument has a strong dimensional dimension and has high construct validity. The reliability of Cronbach Alpha (KR20) showed a value of 0.87 (high), item reliability of 0.88 (very good), and person reliability of 0.81 (good) with separation item value of 2.73 (good) and separation person value of 2.04 (good). In conclusion, TRQP has good validity and reliability in measuring the level of teacher readiness to teach quantum physics in terms of content knowledge and attitudes among Form Five Physics teachers in secondary schools.

Descriptive Method

The study aimed at finding out the extent of the use of modern educational techniques and their obstacles in teaching geography in the secondary stage from the point of view of the teachers and their attitudes towards them in Amran governorate. The sample of the study consisted of (34) teachers and teachers in Amran Educational Administration. The study used the descriptive method. The questionnaire consisted of (60) And the results of the study reached the following: The availability of modern educational techniques in secondary schools in the Directorate of Omran educational degree is weak, with an average of (1,15), a value that is almost nonexistent. And the use of educational techniques to a weak degree, an average of (1.28), which means scarcity in use. The obstacles to the use of educational techniques "significantly" with an average of (2.37) and the most important of which is "the lack of educational techniques necessary for teaching, and the lack of material and moral incentives provided to teachers." The attitudes of geography teachers towards the use of educational techniques in general were positive at an average of (2.67), "significantly". There are no statistically significant differences at the level of (0.05 = α) in the use of educational techniques in the teaching of geography in the secondary stage due to: gender, scientific qualification and educational experience. In light of the results, a set of recommendations and proposals were presented

Natural Brucite (Mg(OH)2) decomposes on heating to form magnesium oxide (MgO) having its cubic ﹛110﹜ and ﹛111﹜ planes respectively parallel to the prism and basal planes of the hexagonal brucite lattice. Although the crystal-lographic relation between the parent brucite crystal and the resulting mag-nesium oxide crystallites is well known, the exact mechanism by which the reaction proceeds is still a matter of controversy. Goodman described the decomposition as an initial shrinkage in the brucite basal plane allowing magnesium ions to shift their original sites to the required magnesium oxide positions followed by a collapse of the planes along the original <0001> direction of the brucite crystal. He noted that the (110) diffraction spots of brucite immediately shifted to the positions required for the (220) reflections of magnesium oxide. Gordon observed separate diffraction spots for the (110) brucite and (220) magnesium oxide planes. The positions of the (110) and (100) brucite never changed but only diminished in intensity while the (220) planes of magnesium shifted from a value larger than the listed ASTM d spacing to the predicted value as the decomposition progressed.

Ion Emission

The theory of field ion emission is the study of electron tunneling probability enhanced by the application of a high electric field. At subnanometer distances and kilovolt potentials, the probability of tunneling of electrons increases markedly. Field ionization of gas atoms produce atomic resolution images of the surface of the specimen, while field evaporation of surface atoms sections the specimen. Details of emission theory may be found in monographs.Field ionization (FI) is the phenomena whereby an electric field assists in the ionization of gas atoms via tunneling. The tunneling probability is a maximum at a critical distance above the surface,xc, Fig. 1. Energy is required to ionize the gas atom at xc, I, but at a value reduced by the appliedelectric field, xcFe, while energy is recovered by placing the electron in the specimen, φ. The highest ionization probability occurs for those regions on the specimen that have the highest local electric field. Those atoms which protrude from the average surfacehave the smallest radius of curvature, the highest field and therefore produce the highest ionizationprobability and brightest spots on the imaging screen, Fig. 2. This technique is called field ion microscopy (FIM).
