The present study compared cognitive abilities and academic achievement of adolescents studying in three different school systems namely Urdu medium schools, English medium schools, and Cambridge system schools. The sample comprised of 1001 secondary school student. Cognitive abilities were assessed by Raven’s Standard Progressive Matrices (1960) and marks obtained by the students in the last annual examination were used as an index of academic achievement. Results showed that cognitive abilities of the students were positively associated with academic achievement of the respondents. It was further found that cognitive abilities and academic achievement of students studying in Cambridge school system was better as compared to those studying in other systems. Post-hoc comparison revealed that level of academic achievement of Urdu medium schools was lower as compared to English medium and Cambridge system of schools. The findings suggest that difference in schooling system influenced cognitive abilities and academic achievement of the students. Results further demonstrated that gender was a significant predictor of academic achievement in both Urdu and English medium schools. Future implications of the study were also discussed.

This research aims to explore the secondary school sixth and seventh graders’ length measuring estimation skills developing activities related to the daily life objects. The study is in a qualitative multiple case study model. The universe of the research consisted of the sixth and seventh graders. The sample of the research consisted of 85 students, who were studying at a secondary school in sixth and seventh classes in 2 (two) state schools determined with the purposive sampling method in the 2018-2019 educational year. The maximum variety was ensured for the class level, gender, and mathematics achievement scores; voluntariness for the easily accessible situation. The data were obtained with the scales and semi-structured interview forms prepared during the research process and analyzed descriptively. The research results suggest that the length measuring estimation skills of the secondary school sixth and seventh graders relevant to the daily life objects can be developed with the activities that will develop the students’ prior knowledge and skills.

Scientific Value

School museums – which had been founded mostly in the vicinity of educational institutions – used to collect teaching aids. So-called natural history cabinets were the most popular among them, recommended, inter alia, by the Commission of National Education in 1783. The tradition of collecting this type of exhibits was common until the middle of the 20th century. There are two types to be distinguished: school museums and pedagogical museums, which differ with respect to the character of their activity and the kind of exhibits. School museums collected basically objects of natural science, instruments for teaching geography, chemistry and mathematics as well as prints and facilities used during lessons. The second group also specialised in exhibits of natural science, but they were no longer used and usually of higher scientific value, including patterns and examples known in the education system. Among the earliest school museums created in the Kingdom of Poland were Warsaw collections of the Institute for Deaf and Blind People (1875), and those of the Eugeniusz Babiński’s so-called Realschule. At the beginning of the 20th century the idea was spreading, inspired inter alia by the exemplary activity of the Polish School Museum in Lviv (1903). The biggest number of school museums and collections were created in institutions founded by the Polish Educational Society (1906–1907). The survived resources give us relatively detailed information about the collections from Warsaw and Pabianice, which aspired to be categorised as pedagogical museums. The Secondary School for Boys of the Merchants Association in Łódź and the Pedagogical Museum in Warsaw (1917) had also in their possession some interesting collections. The latter one was based upon the collections of former governmental schools, in which – in accordance with a decree issued by Russian authorities – the scientific exhibits were to be collected.

This narrative and arts-based qualitative research study examines life experiences of Black women due to applied streaming in the Ontario secondary school system through an Anti-Black Racism (ABR) and a Black Canadian Feminism framework Two Black women adults in Toronto or the greater Toronto area who went to an Ontario secondary school in the past and were streamed into applied courses were interviewed. Also, an expert in the educational field was interviewed to bring in insider knowledge about social workers role with respect to streaming. ABR and Black Canadian Feminism helped to gain an appropriate and detailed understanding of what Black females experiences look like. Black Canadian Feminism allowed for Black women’s stories to finally be heard and valued. The data was analyzed via line by line analysis which captures every topic and discourse in order to display a proper portrayal of Black women’s narratives.

The present research study aims to examine the academic achievement of secondary school students in relation to gender differences. The study was carried out on a sample of 100 male and female students studying in class IXth of Aligarh District, U.P. India. Two self developed tools were applied which finally analysed by applying Mean, SD, t-Test and Pearson‟s Coefficient Correlation (r). Results revealed a significant difference between male and female students in English achievement scores and also no significant difference was found between English and Mathematics achievement scores of IXth grade male students. Results also revealed low positive correlation between English and Mathematics achievement of male students of IXth grade and moderate positive correlation between English and Mathematics achievement of female students of IXth grade. The results suggested to the need of motivation and encouragement for enhancing academic achievement scores of male and female students.

The purpose of this research is to examine the educational technology developer team as an important program in schooling, especially by analyzing its compatibility with the school system and conditions. By using mixed method and research and development model this research adressing the elementary and secondary school in Semarang and other district. The results showed that this program is compatible with school system and could overcome lots of school problem i.e. the lack of teacher competency on developing lesson plan, learning media, the lack of human resource developmen division in school, the continuity of teacher quality improvement program, dan the quality of school management. But several teacher and school’s management are irresponsive to the program because its team member was university student, not the professional one. It is why in several school the program cannot running well as expected. Eventhough overall the program experiment is succesful.ABSTRAKPenelitian ini diarahkan untuk mengetahui implementasi gagasan tim pengembang teknologi pendidikan di sekolah, terutama mengenai kompatibilitas gagasan dengan konteks dan kondisi riil di sekolah. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dan kualitatif serta model research and development (R & D), penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada jenjang pendidikan dasar dan menengah di Kota Semarang dan sekitarnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa gagasan prototipe tim pengembang teknologi pendidikan di sekolah kompatibel dengan konteks dan kondisi sekolah. Problem kualitas guru dalam mengembangkan rencana pembelajaran, media belajar, termasuk keberlanjutan program peningkatan kualitas guru, manajemen sekolah, dan tiadanya divisi pengembangan sumber daya manusia, dapat diatasi oleh tim pengembang teknologi pendidikan. Fakta di lapangan memang menunjukkan beberapa sekolah tempat uji implementasi gagasan tersebut tidak dapat maksimal dalam penerapannya, namun hal tersebut bukan disebabkan oleh kualitas gagasan, melainkan faktor sosiokultural sekolah itu sendiri. Komposisi tim pengembang teknologi pendidikan di sekolah yang masih mahasiswa S1 diidentifikasi menjadi faktor penghambatnya. Walau begitu, secara umum dapat disimpulkan bahwa implementasi gagasan tim pengembang teknologi pendidikan di sekolah telah berhasil dengan baik.
