Resumo Neste artigo apresenta-se um recorte dos resultados de uma prática pedagógica, aplicada, durante os meses de julho e agosto, a um grupo voluntário de oito alunos do Ensino Médio de uma escola estadual do Município de Novo Mundo no estado do Mato Grosso. Desenvolvida à luz da Modelagem Matemática, a pesquisa teve como objetivo principal analisar as implicações do uso desta metodologia, no processo de estudo de diferentes funções com alunos do Ensino Médio, partindo do tema Pecuária. A pesquisa, de cunho qualitativo com análise descritiva, utilizou-se dos seguintes instrumentos de coleta de dados: gravação dos encontros em áudio e vídeo, caderno de campo da professora/pesquisadora, fórum interativo pelo Google sala de aula e entrevista. No decorrer da prática pedagógica, evidenciaram-se a motivação e a dedicação dos alunos em estudarem conceitos matemáticos a partir do contexto em que se encontram inseridos. Destaca-se também a capacidade de pesquisa, tanto no processo de coleta de dados como na matematização, dos alunos envolvidos. Durante o desenvolvimento da prática, construíram-se conceitos iniciais de função afim e função quadrática, bem como foram utilizados conceitos de porcentagem, regra de três, perímetro e área. Por fim, salienta-se que o tema Pecuária proporcionou discussões econômicas, sociais e culturais acerca dos diferentes tipos dessa atividade desenvolvida na comunidade, tornando os estudantes mais críticos e atentos ao contexto em que vivem.

AbstractThis article presents the outcomes of a teaching practice applied from July to August 2020 to a volunteer group of eight Secondary School students in a state school in the municipality of Novo Mundo in Mato Grosso, Brazil. Based on Mathematical Modelling, the main purpose of this research was analyzing the implications of using this methodology in the process of studying distinct functions with Secondary School students, based on the theme of the Livestock Industry. This research was qualitative, used descriptive analysis, and collected data through audio recordings and video shootings of the meetings, teacher/researcher’s field journal, interactive forum through Google Classroom and interview. During this practice, students’ motivation and dedication became evident in studying mathematical concepts related to their environment. Furthermore, their researching capacity stood out, both in collecting the data and in mathematization. In the practice, initial concepts for affine and quadratic functions were developed, as well as concepts of percentage, rule of three, perimeter, and area. Finally, the theme of Livestock Industry promoted economic, social, and cultural discussions about the distinct types of this activity developed within the community, making students more aware and critical of the environment where they live.

Contemporary society has witnessed a growing trend of technological innovations in the educational landscape. The phenomenon has been widely integrated into the education system of Nigeria. Perhaps, researchers have deployed different computer technologies to enhance students performance in varying subjects. The present study aims to determine whether computer-assisted instructional methods would affect students engagement in physics in secondary school. A total of one hundred and eighty-seven secondary school students were drawn from eight public secondary schools in Ankpa and Lokoja in Kogi state as the studys participants. The study adopted aquasi-experimental pre-test, post-test study design. The result revealed a significant difference in students engagement in physics between the students taught with the computer-assisted instructional method and those taught with the conventional way at MD = 5.08, t (185) = 7.328, p = .000. Thus, the study concludes that a computer-assisted instructional method is an indispensable tool that could influence students engagement in physics, especially among secondary school students. The practical implications and recommendations are discussed.

The study was conducted to explore the effect of computer-assisted instructions developed by the researchers on environmental education of secondary school students. The study was conducted on the sample of 640 secondary school students studying in class IX of Amritsar district. The study employed a pre-test / post-test equivalent group experimental design. Results revealed that Computer Assisted Instruction as a technique was more effective in creating a positive attitude towards prevention of environmental pollution among students. The CAI is effective in generating environmental awareness among secondary school students. They are also independent of the residential area of the students for generating environmental awareness among secondary school students. However, they are dependent on the type of school and gender for generating environmental awareness among secondary school students.

This research focused on the effects of Computer Assisted Instruction Method (CAIM) and lecture method in teaching Mathematics on Senior Secondary School students’ performances. The research design for the study was an experimental research design. The sample comprised 371 SSI I students, randomly selected from Six (6) secondary schools where the two methods were adopted in teaching Mathematics (i.e. The Computer Assisted Instruction Method (CAIM) and Lecture Method (LM). The Student Mathematics Performance Test (SMPT) was designed, validated and used for collecting data. The data was analysed using the independent t-test for the hypotheses. The findings revealed a significant difference in the mean achievement scores of subjects exposed to experimental treatment using CAIM and students taught using the lecture method. There were significant Differences between Male and Female exposed to the same treatment using CAIM material. It was found that male students perform better than female students. The research, therefore, recommended the use of CAIM in Government schools. It should put more effort toward the provision of ICT facilities and training of teachers for better performance in Mathematics.

Summary The German Pupils Academy (Deutsche Schüler-Akademie) is a summer-school program for highly gifted secondary-school students. Three types of program evaluation were conducted. Input evaluation confirmed the participants as intellectually highly gifted students who are intrinsically motivated and interested to attend the courses offered at the summer school. Process evaluation focused on the courses attended by the participants as the most important component of the program. Accordingly, the instructional approaches meet the needs of highly gifted students for self-regulated and discovery oriented learning. The product or impact evaluation was based on a multivariate social-cognitive framework. The findings indicate that the program contributes to promoting motivational and cognitive prerequisites for transforming giftedness into excellent performances. To some extent, the positive effects on students' self-efficacy and self-regulatory strategies are due to qualities of the learning environments established by the courses.

Television Use

Based on the model of Reid, Giles and Abrams (2004 , Zeitschrift für Medienpsychologie, 16, 17–25), this paper describes and analyzes the relation between television use and ethnolinguistic-coping strategies among German speakers in South Tyrol, Italy. The data were collected among secondary school students (N = 415) in 2011. The results indicated that the television use of the students was dominated by the German language. A mediation analysis revealed that TV viewing contributed to the perception of ethnolinguistic vitality, the permeability of intergroup boundaries, and status stability, which in turn affected ethnolinguistic-coping strategies of mobility (moving toward the outgroup), creativity (maintaining identity without confrontation), and competition (fighting for ingroup rights and respect). Findings and theoretical implications are discussed.
