This article aims to reveal the influence of local wisdom and spiritual intelligence on the behavior of students in Kabila 1 Public High School. Assessment is carried out with quantitative approaches and survey methods. The data analysis technique used is the analysis of the product moment correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression. The results of the study indicate that: (1) there is a significant influence between local wisdom on student behavior, and the correlation of determination is 17.9%. (2) there is a strong influence between spiritual intelligence on students' behavior and the correlation of determination is 50.8%. (3) there is a strong influence between local wisdom and spiritual intelligence together on student behavior and the correlation of determination is 50.41%. Furthermore, 49.59% of the students' good behavior is influenced by other factors. This is what causes the Kabila 1 Public High School to implement local wisdom-based education and provide spiritual activities in schools in order to cope with the bad behavior of students.

ResumenEl objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el conocimiento común y especializado del contenido de los futuros profesores españoles de bachillerato sobre el intervalo de confianza. Para lograr tal fin se propuso a un grupo de 73 futuros profesores un problema abierto sobre intervalo de confianza, similar a los propuestos en cursos anteriores a los estudiantes de Bachillerato en las pruebas de acceso a la universidad. Además, se les preguntó cómo explicarían a un estudiante el significado del intervalo de confianza y sus propiedades. Utilizando una metodología cualitativa de análisis de contenido, se estudia el planteamiento, cálculo, interpretación y definición del intervalo y las propiedades que recuerdan. Aunque la mayor parte de los participantes en el estudio plantea y calcula correctamente el intervalo, sólo el 28,8% de los futuros profesores lo interpreta correctamente. Se encuentran interpretaciones deterministas o propias a la metodología bayesiana, similares a las descritas en investigaciones con estudiantes. Otros o no proporcionan una interpretación. Pocos participantes fueron capaces de definir correctamente el intervalo de confianza cuando se les pide explicar a un estudiante su significado y recuerdan pocas propiedades del mismo. Se concluye la necesidad de reforzar el conocimiento del contenido sobre intervalo de confianza en estos futuros profesores. Palabras-clave: Intervalo de Confianza. Conocimiento del Contenido.

To achieve this aim, we proposed to 73 prospective teachers an open problem similar to those proposed to high school students in the previous years at the entrance to university tests. Besides, participants were asked to describe how they would explain the concept and its properties to a student. Using the qualitative methodology of content analysis we study the setting, computation, interpretation and definition of confidence interval and its properties. Although most participants correctly set and computed the confidence interval, only 28.8% of them made a correct interpretation of the same. Deterministic and Bayesian interpretations, similar to those described in previous research with students arose or there was no interpretation. Few participants defined correctly the interval when asked how they would explain the topic to a student; additionally, only a few properties of the interval were remembered. We conclude the need to reinforce the content knowledge of confidence intervals in prospective teachers. Keywords: Confidence Interval. Content Knowledge. Prospective Teachers. High School.

High school cosmetology students study the methods and effects of various human hair treatments, including permanents, straightening, conditioning, coloring and cutting. Although they are provided with textbook examples of overtreatment and numerous hair disorders and diseases, a view of an individual hair at the high resolution offered by an SEM provides convincing evidence of the hair‘s altered structure. Magnifications up to 2000X provide dramatic differences in perspective. A good quality classroom optical microscope can be very informative at lower resolutions.Students in a cosmetology class are initially split into two groups. One group is taught basic controls on the SEM (focus, magnification, brightness, contrast, specimen X, Y, and Z axis movements). A healthy, untreated piece of hair is initially examined on the SEM The second group cements a piece of their own hair on a stub. The samples are dryed quickly using heat or vacuum while the groups trade places and activities.

A modification of the Paired-Stimuli Parent Program (Florance, 1977) was adapted for the treatment of articulatory errors of visually handicapped children. Blind high school students served as clinical aides. A discussion of treatment methodology, and the results of administrating the program to 32 children, including a two-year follow-up evaluation to measure permanence of behavior change, is presented.
