The purpose of this study was to examine the performance trends of middle school, junior/senior high school, and high school ensembles at District Florida Bandmasters Association (FBA) Jazz Band Music Performance Assessments (MPAs) from 2012 to 2017. More specifically, this study investigated the pieces, composers, and arrangers most frequently performed, and how many schools participated. Data were derived from a pool of compositions performed at FBA District Jazz Band MPAs between 2012 and 2017 ( N = 5,664). Of the pieces performed, there were 1,816 different compositions played. The compositions performed featured 619 different composers and 249 different arrangers. Additionally, 47.78% of schools involved in FBA had at least one jazz band perform during the 5-year period analyzed in this study. Overall, findings suggested that secondary school jazz bands in Florida have grown in popularity.

In the present study, relationships between two components of self-regulation (self-efficacy and self-evaluation) and gender, school level, instrument family, and music performance were examined. Participants were 340 middle and high school band students who participated in one of two summer music camps or who were members of a private middle school band program. Students indicated their level of self-efficacy for playing a musical excerpt before performing it and then self-evaluated their performance immediately afterward. Findings suggest that there is a strong and positive relationship between self-efficacy and both music performance and self-evaluation. There was also a strong negative relationship between self-evaluation calibration bias and music performance, indicating that as music performance ability increased, students were more underconfident in their self-evaluations. Gender differences were found for self-evaluation calibration accuracy, as female students were more accurate than males at evaluating their performances. Middle school males were more inclined than females to overrate their self-efficacy and self-evaluation as compared to their actual music performance scores. These gender differences were reversed for high school students. There were no other statistically significant findings.

“Who benefited more from the Transatlantic Slave Trade: Ghanaians or Europeans?” Ghana Ministry of Education and Sports:2008, 17). That’s the test question on the official government syllabus/standards for Ghanaian schools. The syllabus also lists the benefits of colonization and that list far outweighs the detriments. The lack of a broader understanding about the devastation brought on by the Transatlantic Slave Trade (TAST) is not exclusive to Ghana, but proves similar in the United States and likely throughout the world. Generally, the TAST appears lost in Trans-lation in secondary schools. The Transatlantic Slave Trade forms the most transnational exchange surrounding Africa and the African Diaspora. The TAST to the Americas relocated millions of people, killed untold more, treated them as property based on their melanin, caused many wars and affects the world today. To broaden our understanding of the pedagogies of the TAST, Ghanaian secondary teachers were interviewed, textbooks and the national standards were reviewed along with Ghana's role at the heart of the TAST with Cape Coast as a central embarking point. We discovered a lack of instruction about the transnational and contemporary impacts of the TAST at the secondary level. Through our study of the TAST’s instruction in Ghana’s secondary schools a need to expand how teachers inform students about the breadth of the TAST was discovered. This article will focus primarily on Ghana’s lack of transnational reach at the secondary school level due to the limits of standardized testing, the Ghana Educational Service’s syllabus, the textbooks utilized, assessments, poverty, teacher awareness and neocolonialism. This study also examines why transnational exchange in teaching the TAST proves essential in the secondary school classroom in Ghana and beyond.Ghana Ministry of Education.

This study is aimed to compare the understanding of the concepts of secondary school students (junior and senior high school) and pre-service physics teachers in direct current electric circuits. This research was survey research using the quantitative descriptive method. The results showed that there were no significant difference among the junior high school, senior high school, and pre-service physics teacher students with the categories classified as sufficient for junior high school and pre-service physics teacher. However, senior high school students were still relatively weak. The difficulties were found in interpreting formulas and conceptual errors. This research provides practical benefits to the concept of electrical circuits, especially about the low mastery of student’s concepts. The same mistakes at every level of education showed that there are misconceptions that are difficult to eliminate. It is needed to have more effort to master the concept deeply.

Editor's note.—Professor Lennart RÅde is a member of the Scandinavian Committee for the Modernizing of School Mathematics and is responsible for most of the work in probability and statistics produced by this committee. He is a University Lecturer at the Chalmers Technical High School, Göteborg, Sweden. This paper reflects the type of high school course that is now given in the Swedish Gymnas or senior high school. The Scandidinavian countries—through the works of Cramer, Fisher, and others—have made major and important contributions to probability and statistical theory. It is of value to study the approach given in this paper, with current books in the U.S.A. intended for secondary school study.—Howard F. Fehr.

<p><em>We know that how important BK (Counseling Guidance) in campus and secondary  school until senior high school. Remember that now is globalization or modern era which is how heavy information from foreign country that do not bring fine cases which accordance with our country personality that is Pancasila. Lately, many decadence moral like student or society fighting, drug and alcohol drinking, et cetera. Even especially many victim of alcohol drinking are student of very young people and this is become central of attention from our state, Indonesia, not only now but forever. Because of that, alcohol drinking which is easy gotten and identical with appearance of discotiques which is come from foreign country. Of course drug and alcohol drinking can cause death accordance with medical science and destroy  of education world. In one side, BK role is helping and pushing service to all student for to speed their study with giving advices so that can filter  negative acts which can not accordance with Pancasila and religion. In this, BK role must join with religion and PPKN teacher for helping better student in Indonesia.</em></p><p><strong>Kata Kunci</strong> : <em>Role, Pancasila and Civic, Counseling Guide</em></p>

Evaluation Accuracy

The purposes of this study were to examine (a) whether grade-level differences exist on self-evaluation tendencies over time, (b) if grade-level differences and evaluator differences exist, alone and in combination, on music performance evaluation, (c) if relationships exist between student self-evaluation and expert evaluations of music performance by grade level, and (d) whether differences exist between grade level and music performance subarea (tone, intonation, melody, etc.) on self-evaluation accuracy. Middle ( N=92) and high school ( N=51) instrumentalists participating in two summer music programs self-evaluated their performances during rehearsals, while expert evaluators judged an individual final performance. Results indicated differences between grade levels on performance self-evaluation as the week progressed for some subareas. High school students were more accurate in their self-evaluations than were middle school musicians for all subareas except melody and rhythm. Middle school students' scores showed greater correlation with experts than did those of high school musicians. Both groups were most accurate in their evaluation of melody and least accurate in evaluation of technique/articulation. January 3, 2005 May 11, 2005.
