Статья посвящена выявлению закономерностей развития организма школьников, проживающих в городской и сельской местности. Было установлено, что уровень соматического здоровья изученного контингента школьников с учетом степени развития основных антропометрических признаков в значительной степени определяется резервными возможностями всех систем органов и достоверно отличается у школьников города и села. The article is devoted to identifying the patterns of development of the body of schoolchildren living in urban and rural areas. It was found that the level of somatic health of the studied contingent of schoolchildren, taking into account the degree of development of the main anthropometric features, is largely determined by the reserve capabilities of all organ systems and reliably differs among schoolchildren in the city and village.

Important Branch

The domain of motion or kinematics is important because it forms the basis of mechanics, an important branch of physics. By studying kinematic phenomena in the laboratory, high school students are likely to develop a better understanding of kinematics concepts as well as elements of the scientific approach to study natural and constructed phenomena. However, students encounter difficulties in understanding these concepts, just as in the acquisition of the skills necessary for the accomplishment of the different stages of an experimental process. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to provide guidance, according to a historical approach, which would inform teachers in the design of teaching sequences on the study of kinematics. Keywords: conceptual understanding, high school physics education, historical approach, kinematics.

AbstractIn this study, we identify patterns among students beliefs and ideas in cosmology, in order to frame meaningful and more effective teaching activities in this amazing content area. We involve a convenience sample of 432 high school students. We analyze students’ responses to an open-ended questionnaire with a non-hierarchical cluster analysis using the k-means algorithm.

Urban And Rural Areas

Objective: To compare the frequency of consumption of fruits, vegetables and soft drinks among adolescents living in urban and rural areas of Pernambuco State. Methods: A cross-sectional study based on secondary analysis of data from a representative sample of high school students in Pernambuco (n = 4,207, 14 - 19 years) was conducted. Data were collected through a previously validated questionnaire. Adolescents who reported a daily consumption of soft drinks and occasional consumption of fruits, juices and vegetables were classified as exposed to inadequate standard of consumption of these foods. The independent variable was the place of residence (urban/rural). Data were analyzed by frequency distribution, χ2 test and binary logistic regression. Results: It was observed that students residing in rural areas had a higher prevalence of occasional consumption of natural fruit juices (37.6%; 95%CI 36.1 - 39.0) than those living in urban areas (32.1%; 95%CI 30.7 - 33.6). The proportion of students exposed to daily consumption of soft drinks was higher among those who reported they lived in urban areas (65.0%; 95%CI 63.5 - 66.4) compared to those who reported living in rural areas (55.3%; 95%CI 53.8 - 56.9). Conclusion: Adolescent students living in rural areas had a higher prevalence of low consumption of natural fruit juices while those residing in urban areas had a higher prevalence of daily consumption of soda drinks.
