This study endeavored to establish trends in the re-enforcing factor related to the consumption of alcoholic beverages among high school students in Liberia, using an experimental research design. A sample of 440 students from two selected schools was determined using Cochran’s formula. A sixteen item questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of 0.70 was administered to the 440 students to identify those who drink alcohol. Applying G Power formula, 84 students were randomly selected out of the 170 students who drink alcohol as participants. Another validated questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of 0.76 was used to collect data from the field. Descriptive statistics and t-test were used to analyze the data. The study concludes that the use of the Alcohol and Life Skills Training Model, which was employed to the experimental group is an effective educational tool to prepare students to make responsible decision about abstaining from drinking alcoholic beverages than the HIV/ AIDS Model which was employed to the control group. It is therefore recommended that the Government of Liberia should adopt the Alcohol and Life Skills Training Model into the National High School Curriculum in order to prevent and control the consumption of alcohol by students in high schools. Secondly, researchers and the Ministry of Education in conjunction with other Ministries such as Health and Youth should conduct further research on a wider scale on alcohol consumption among the youth, including the in-school and the out of school adolescents in Liberia.

<p>I am Biology and Geology teacher in a high school and I teach for students between 15 and 18 years old. Geosciences are not very easy to understand because the concepts are complex. I try to interest my students by using different pedagogical materials including hands-on. At the end of the course, to make sure that they have a good understanding, I sometimes organize a meeting between my students and the children of a primary school. It is a way to assess them because if they are able to explain some geological issues to young children, they must before understand them.</p><p>Before the meeting, the elementary school teacher and I did an educational notebook for young children. We have planned 5 activities on the topic "plate tectonics"</p><ul><li>Explosive and effusive volcanism : children identify different types of volcanism by watching two short videos</li> <li>Study the volcanic rocks : children observe the rocks and look under a polarizing microscope</li> <li>Earthquake-resistant buildings: children use a model to understand how a building can withstand an earthquake</li> <li>The different kind of faults: children use a model to create different types of faults.</li> <li>Identify the movement of Plate tectonics: children use software to do this exercise</li> </ul><p>The meeting lasted two hours. It was a great moment for all the students. My student's job was to help the youngest to answer the questions on their notebooks. They had to explain clearly and simply and it was a very interesting exercise for them because they needed knowledge to do it. Young students asked a lot of questions, they were very curious and interested in this topic.</p><p>Here is an article in French. http://svt.spip.ac-rouen.fr/spip.php?article396</p><p> </p>

The purpose of this research and development is to produce a coordination-based soccer team on soccer for high school students in the city of Mataram. In addition, this research and development is carried out to obtain in-depth information about the development and application of soccer dribbling models, to determine the effectiveness, efficiency and attractiveness of children to the models created. This study uses the Research & Development (R & D) development research method from Borg and Gall. The subjects in this research and development were high school students consisting of 60 children. The instruments used in this research and development were questionnaires, questionnaires, as well as a soccer dribbling test instrument which was used to collect data on soccer for high school aged children, while the stages in this research and development were: (1) needs analysis, (2) expert evaluation (initial product evaluation); (3) limited trials (small group trials); and (4) main testing (field testing). The model effectiveness test uses soccer dribbling skills to determine the skill level of dribbling football for high school age before giving treatments in the form of a coordination-based soccer training model developed and to determine the level of dribbling skills after treatment or treatment from the initial tests carried out, the dribbling level is obtained. students were 750, then after being given treatment in the form of a dribbling model, the final test student dribbling skill level was obtained at 940. Then this ball dribbling model is effective in improving learning to dribble soccer for high school age. Based on the data obtained, from the results of field trials and discussion of the results of the study it can be concluded that: with the coordination-based training model for training skills in coordination-based football bling for Mataram city high school athletes, it is effective and efficient, innovative can improve dribbling practice and apply dribbling properly, evidence is obtained. This increase is shown in the results of testing the pretest and posttest results, there is a significant difference between before and after the treatment model.

Recent literature on positive psychology underlines the crucial role of schools to create a psychologically healthy environment and to set programs and strategies fostering adolescents’ well-being. The aim of the present study is to validate a scale that measures scholastic satisfaction since a scientific evaluation and interventions on school satisfaction can help professionals to support adolescents’ positive development and school adjustment. We adapted the College Satisfaction Scale (CSS) and confirmed the previous five-dimensional structure also in a high school students’ sample (n = 792). The High-school Satisfaction Scale (H-Sat Scale) evaluates five dimensions of school satisfaction: appropriateness of choice (CH), quality of school services (SE), relationships with classmates (RE), effectiveness of study habits (ST) and usefulness for a future career (CA). The questionnaire consists of 20 items; it showed good psychometric features and, consistent with previous literature, confirmed its validity in relation to life satisfaction and quality of life of high school students. Compared with previous scales, the H-Sat evaluates two innovative areas of school satisfaction since it gives a measure of satisfaction in career path (appropriateness of choice and usefulness for future career) could help school counsellors to set interventions in this field.
