Little is known about the feasibility and acceptability of interventions designed to address the needs of high school students with emotional and behavioral challenges and adopted by their teachers. In this study, 336 general and special education teachers rated classwide interventions (e.g., expectations, routines, positive student–teacher interactions [PSTI]) and individual student interventions (e.g., study skills, organizational skills) in terms of priority, feasibility, and acceptability before implementation. Teachers who implemented the interventions rated their acceptability post-implementation. Results indicated that acceptability ratings varied across interventions, and it appeared that teachers rated interventions that required the least amount of time to implement (e.g., PSTI) most acceptable and those that required the most time for implementation (e.g., study skills) least acceptable. Lack of time, perceived lack of effectiveness, and poor environmental fit were often cited as reasons for lack of feasibility. Regression analyses revealed that teacher characteristics (e.g., years of experience) and type of intervention (e.g., classwide vs. individualized) contributed to teacher ratings of intervention acceptability. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.

Tier 1

An emerging body of research shows Tier 1 Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) can be successfully implemented in high schools to improve school climate and graduation rates and reduce problem behaviors. However, high schools are often hesitant to adopt PBIS because of contextual barriers such as school size, organizational culture, and student developmental level. Resistance to high school implementation is also related to teachers perceiving PBIS as less socially valid for high school students. Although previous systematic reviews of Tier 1 have examined implementation and effects, none have exclusively focused on the unique contextual needs related to high school implementation. In this review, we synthesized 16 published research studies conducted at the high school level, described how authors addressed the unique challenges of implementing PBIS in high schools, reported findings related to academic and behavioral outcomes, and made recommendations for future research and practice based on our findings.

Abstract This study aimed to verify the effects of a procedure, based on the stimulus equivalence model, to teach naming 10 chemical elements, from their symbolic representations and their respective numbers and atomic models. Eight high school students participated. Four classes of stimuli were used: (A) name; (B) symbol; (C) atomic number; (E) atomic model of chemical elements. The following were performed: evaluation of the initial repertoire; teaching of conditional relations and testing of emergence of new conditional relations; evaluation of the final repertoire. From the teaching of three relations (AB, BC and BE), almost all participants presented at least 90% of correct answers (hits) in nine relations (BA, CB, AC, CA, EB, AE, EA, CE, EC); in the chemical elements naming (BD, CD and ED), seven participants obtained at least 80% of hits. The efficiency of teaching procedure for chemistry learning at the high school level has been verified.

Higher Education Policies

The higher education diversity programs that Texas enacted after Hopwood v. University of Texas banned affirmative action had unexpected positive consequences for the state’s high schools. The Texas top 10% law, the Longhorn Opportunity Scholarship and Century Scholarship programs, and the Towards Excellence, Access and Success Grant program each explicitly linked postsecondary opportunities to high school performance and clearly articulated that link to students across the state. As a result, these programs worked as K–16 school reforms, using college opportunities as incentives to improve educational outcomes at the high school level. Using panel data describing Texas high schools between 1993 and 2002, the author demonstrates that Texas’s post- Hopwood higher education policies redistributed college-related activity at public high schools and boosted high school students’ academic engagement.

<p align="center"><em>This article explains the concept of Islamic guidance and counselling to help high school students build readiness for marriage and having family life. Marriage and family life readiness is one of aspects in Competency Standards of Independence (SKK) that must be achieved by students at high school level.This concept is similar to the phases and tasks of adolescent development which begin to enter the early adult development phase. The researchers did not find any particularly studies that discuss the concept of Islamic guidance and counseling to help marriage readiness and family life for high school students. Despite the fact that the theme is important to be discussed for further elucidation,the problems eventuates among adolescents, such as premarital sex. The research is conducted by library research method. To support information requirements, researchers also conduct document observations and in-depth interviews with  marriage counselor in Religious Affairs Office (KUA), high school principals, as well as high school guidance counselor and school counselor. The concept of guidance and counselling answers the need and solutions to the problems of adults at the high school level. This also helps to understand family life responsibilities and functions, the concept of reproductive health, what appropriate sexual behaviour is, family norms and relationships between family members.</em></p>

Confirmatory Factor Analyses

The Revised Two-factor Learning Process Questionnaire (R-LPQ-2F) is an instrument for assessing students&rsquo; learning approaches at the high school level. The instrument has significant potential for use in Singapore schools, but as yet, has not been validated in this context. This study evaluated the validity attributes of the R-LPQ-2F in a sample of Singapore senior high school students. The sample comprised 455 Year 11 students (266 male, 189 female) from Singapore. The internal structure of the R-LPQ-2F was evaluated by replicating the confirmatory factor analyses published in previous validations of the instrument, and assessing its internal consistencies and inter-scale correlations. Relationships between the R-LPQ-2F subscales and external variables were also evaluated. Results indicated that for the Deep Approach scale, a one-factor model fit the data well. For the Surface Approach scale, a four-factor model (Fear of Failure; Aim for Qualification; Minimizing Scope of Study; and Memorization) was found to fit the data best. Correlations between scores on the R-LPQ-2F subscales, on the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire, and a physics achievement test demonstrated expected patterns of correlation. Overall, results obtained in this study supported the construct validity of the R-LPQ-2F for use with Singapore high school students.

Awareness and knowledge of both the engineering profession and engineering education programming is important for students in high school because strategic course choices must be made for students to qualify for university enrolment. This paper, a work-in-progress of a larger study, uses a qualitative analysis framed by the CEAB Graduate Attributes to gain insight into how teachers identify students who could become engineers. Participants clearly identified traits that describe the Knowledge Base attribute. Many participants identified other traits that described how students work; these did not fit easily within one attribute. The one attribute that was notably absent was Design.The findings describe that participants had a partial idea of the traits that would describe a potential engineer. This gap in knowledge supports work to develop a complete idea of the engineering profession at the high school level to ensure students can make informed course selection decisions and, in turn, career decisions

The present paper covers the teaching and learning process of English language teaching in government schools of Andhra Pradesh. As the aim of the syllabus by the SCERT, Andhra Pradesh, the learners of English are expected to achieve proper communication skills to apply it in the global context. Bright and Marc Gregor (1978) have remarked that “there is no language learning without exposure” At this juncture mere knowledge of English, based upon listening, speaking, reading and writing directed towards acquisition of communication skills among high school students. The present study intended to find out the lacuna of secondary skills in English language among the students at high school level. An Oxford dictionary defines lacuna as ‘an absent part’. This paper portrays the percentage of expected and achieved skills of the students which is technically the term called as ‘Lacuna’. Most of the students are promoted to the next classes without adequate all the skills expected by the SCERT. Gradually the differences between expected and achieved skills have been increasing by the students year by year. At this juncture, it is very much needed to fill the lacuna between expected and achieved skills among the students for the strong foundation of the students in the field of communication skills.

Choosing a major that will be taken up in college can raise doubts and even anxiety for the final year high school students. Various factors trigger this doubt and anxiety, especially for choosing across majors. Crossing-major is the decision to choose a field of science to be pursued in higher education, which is different from the field of study at the high school level. This study was intended to describe the psychological dynamics of students who decided to cross majors. This study used a case study-based qualitative descriptive model. The case study was chosen so that this study obtained more detailed and in-depth data from the participants. The data collection techniques used observation and interviews. The results of the analysis indicate the existence of emotional aspects related to anxiety and doubt experienced by students when choosing a further education major, which is caused by parents, family environmental conditions, and the surrounding environment. Memilih jurusan yang akan ditempuh di perguruan tinggi dapat memunculkan keraguan bahkan kecemasan pada siswa tahun terakhir SMA. Ada berbagai faktor yang memicu keraguan dan kecemasan ini, khususnya bila memilih lintas jurusan. Lintas jurusan adalah keputusan memilih bidang ilmu yang akan ditekuni di perguruan tinggi, yang berbeda dengan bidang jurusan di tingkat SMA. Penelitian ini dimaksudkan untuk mendiskripsikan dinamika psikologis siswa yang memutuskan untuk lintas jurusan.  Penelitian ini menggunakan model deskriptif kualitatif berbasis studi kasus. Studi kasus dipilih agar penelitian ini mendapatkan data yang lebih rinci dan mendalam dari subyek partisipan. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah observasi dan wawancara. Hasil analisa menunjukkan adanya aspek emosional berkaitan dengan kecemasan dan keraguan yang dialami siswa ketika memilih jurusan pendidikan lanjut, yang disebabkan sejumlah faktor yaitu orang tua, kondisi lingkungan keluarga dan pengaruh lingkungan sekitar.
