Management Behaviors

This article reports the results of a quasi-experimental study conducted to examine the efficacy of a new time management intervention designed for high school students. Participants were 149 students from a highly selective private high school in the northeastern United States who were in the ninth grade. Half of the students participated in a 5-week intervention, which involved an assessment of time management, feedback, and action plans, and 5 weekly homework assignments. After the intervention, academic advisors who were blind to condition rated student time management behaviors. Ratings were higher for the treatment group than for the control group. This difference reached significance for students who began the intervention low in time management skills. Implications and suggestions for improving the intervention are discussed.

Short Movie

The purpose of the study was to investigate whether or not there is a significant effect of silent short movie on EFL writing achievement of the vocational high school students. This study was quasi-experimental using a nonrandomized control group, pretest-posttest design. There were 61 students who were selected randomly from the 10 classes of tenth-graders of the 6th State Vocational School in Samarinda. The instruments used in the study was writing test. The result revealed that the vocational high school tenth grade students who were taught by silent short movie (M = 8.01, SD = .32) got significantly different achievement in EFL writing than did the vocational high school tenth grade students who were not taught by silent short, t(58) = -2.22, p = .030. This result suggests that the writing aspects which the students significantly outperformed were text organization, sentence formation, grammar, vocabulary, mechanics, and tidiness.

The Difference

The misconception of the Solar System topic is still found in students so that it becomes one of the obstacles in the learning process. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of Predict-Observe-Explain-Apply (POEA) learning to change the junior high school students' conception in the Solar System topic. Quasi-experimental research with the non-equivalent control group design was conducted in one of the private junior high schools in Bandung city. Samples were selected based on the test of the average significance of the pretest score of the population. Furthermore, 30 students of the experimental class and 32 students of control class were selected. The research instrument, which consisted of 15 four-tier diagnostic test questions about Solar System were used to collect data before and after treatment. The tests were analyzed quantitatively by using the Mann-Whitney statistical test to determine the significance of the difference in the acceptable conception changes (Acceptable Change) of students in the experimental class with changes in the conception of students in the control class. The results of the research show that the implementation of POEA learning is significantly more effective than POE learning in changing the conception of Solar System topic. The findings of this study can be an alternative for junior high school teachers in planning learning about the Solar System, especially in an effort to change students' misconception about the Solar System.

INTRODUCTION: Low levels of hamstring flexibility may trigger certain acute and chronic pathologies and injuries. Poor flexibility is observed among teenagers and several authors have recommended the use of specific programs in this population to improve flexibility levels. The Pilates Method (PM) may be an appropriate intervention to achieve this purpose and has rarely been used with this population. Objective: Study was to assess changes in the flexibility of hamstrings after running a didactic PM unit for high-school students.METHODS: This research was developed through a quasi-experimental design. The sample consisted of 66 high-school students divided into experimental group (EG=39) and control group (CG=27). The intervention was carried out 2 times a week for six weeks. Each session lasted 55 minutes divided into three parts: warm-up, main part and cool down. Hamstring flexibility was assessed using the toe-touch test. Paired Student t-test and t-test for independent samples were applied. The size of the effect (d) was determined.RESULTS: The EG showed significant provident in hamstring flexibility (+3.54±3.9cm). The effect size was low (d>d>0,2<0,53), which means that a small proportion of participants improved their results. The control group did not have significant changes after the intervention. In the experimental group, both boys (+3.38± 3.7cm) and girls (+3.85 ± 4.2cm) showed significant improvements. The effect size was low for boys (d>d>0.2<0.53), which means that a small proportion of participants improved their results, and high for girls (d>1.15) which means that a large proportion of participants improved their results.CONCLUSION: This study showed that six-weeks of Pilates training in Physical Education classes has significantly improved the hamstrings flexibility among adolescents.

Out-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) is a cardiac arrest event that occurs outside the hospital. Patients who experience OHCA rely on the community to provide support as the closest person when the attack occurs. The simulation training method is considered as one of the most effective and most frequently used methods for teaching CPR actions. In the implementation of the simulation needed appropriate media in the form of phantom that has been designed in such a way as to resemble the human condition. Phantom media is considered more expensive and less efficient when used as outdoor media, so this study provides an alternative substitute media in the RJP training simulation in the form of Polkesban Compression simulator. This research is a quasi-experimental study with a pretest and postets group design approach, aimed at identifying the effect of the Polkesban Compression Simulator on the Ability to Perform RJP in High School Students in the city of Tangerang. The study was conducted in June - November 2019 with a population of high school students in Tangerang City. The sampling method used was consecutive sampling totaling 50 people. The results showed there was an increase in ability in each intervention and control group, and there were significant differences in the measurements before and after the intervention (P value 0,000). In the statistical test of the two groups, the p value was 0.016 (P value ≤ 0.005), so it can be concluded that there were significant mean differences between the phantom group and PKS group, where the average PKS group was higher than the Phantom group.

<p>Mathematics is important and applies to science, technology, society or the natural sciences. It is applied directly or indirectly. Most students find this to be a very stimulating, complex, and well-understood subject. Maths in high school is extremely important. The study was designed to investigate the impact of students' mathematical representation skills and their attitudes towards GeoGebra. This study was quasi-experimental and carried out on high school students. We have two groups belonging to the same standard class. The control group consisted of 22 students, while the experimental group consisted of 28 participants. The conventional approach was used to teach certain concepts of plane geometry to the students in the control group. On the other hand, the experimental group taught similar teachings using GeoGebra. The results show that students have more skills in mathematical representation using GeoGebra. The semi-empirical test also showed a significant change in students' attitudes between the pre-test and the post-test. Students are more active in mathematical representation skills in GeoGebra.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0967/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Hiv Aids

Stigma and discrimination against people with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) is one of the obstacles in controlling the disease. Stigma and discrimination are carried out by ordinary people, including high school students who do not have sufficient knowledge about HIV / AIDS and a lack of attitudes towards disease recognition programs. The research aims to prove that knowledge can influence high school students in behaving against ODHA, and stima. By using a quasi-experimental design (pretest-posttest control group design) the study was conducted on 88 samples selected using a combination of randomized sampling to determine selected schools and non-randomized consecutive sampling to determine the selected sample units and determine the intervention group and control group. The results showed that there were differences in the average stigma score between the pretest and posttest in the intervention group (p = <0.005), so it could be concluded that knowledge was proven to have an effect on the stigma of students towards PLWHA.
