An upward trend of psychoactive drug use within the lower grade levels was observed among 616 high school students. Although different patterns of drug use exist between parochial and public high school sophomores, by their junior year the two groups were similar. Over half of the public high school students claimed they take drugs either “for kicks” or “for curiosity”.

Resumo Este artigo é baseado em um relato de experiência docente, em que tivemos a pretensão de estimular a reflexividade linguística dos alunos adolescentes da rede pública de ensino da capital cearense. O referencial teórico é pautado nos eixos conceituais: superdiversidade e transidioma (MOITA LOPES, 2013; BLOMMAERT; RAMPTON, 2011); multimodalidade e multiletramentos (JEWITT, 2010; SOARES, 2002; ROJO, 2012). Dessa forma, almejamos escrever como ocorrem os usos transidiomáticos nas práticas sociais dos alunos do 2o ano do ensino médio na construção de textos multimodais, a partir da perspectiva da superdiversidade e da multimodalidade. Diante do exposto, acreditamos que os usos transidiomáticos devem estar presentes nas práticas discursivas da escola, principalmente nas aulas de língua estrangeira, a fim de sensibilizar os alunos em prol de uma visão sociolinguística emancipatória. Palavras-chave: Transidioma. Multimodalidade. Experiência docente.   Transidiomatic practices in Spanish as a Second Language: multimodality in the public school Abstract This paper is based on a teaching experience, from a perspective of the linguistic reflexivity for high school students of a public school located in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. The theoretical framework is related to these approaches: superdiversity and transidiomatic uses of language (MOITA LOPES, 2013; BLOMMAERT; RAMPTON, 2011); multimodality and multiliteracies (JEWITT, 2010; SOARES, 2002; ROJO, 2012). Thus we intend to show how transidiomatic linguistic uses occur in the social practices of the students from high school of the second degree in Brazil. We will see, in fact, the construal of multimodal texts, from the perspective of the superdiversity and the multimodality. We consider transidiomatic uses as present in the classes, mainly in second language classes, in order to make the students aware of an emancipatory sociolinguistics view. Keywords: Transidioma. Multimodality. Teaching experience.

One of the problems of higher educations is the lack of interest of high school students to continue their studies to the study program related to agriculture. Lots of factors are considered to influence, wether it comes from the public, government or industry. Apart from the influence of government policy on higher education and labor economics, agricultural studies program managers should look at this as a chalenge to undertake the necessary efforts. One creative approach to provide solutions is marketing approach, especially brand equity approach. The selected study programs are Agribusiness, Agrotechnology and Animal Husbandry of Padjadjaran University. Respondents that are choosed group of high school students in Bandung. The study proposes that the brand equity of study program shows low score by high school school student respondents. Promotion, location and social image are factors that significantly affect students’s perception of brand equity study programs Agribusiness, Agrotechnology and Animal Husbandry of Padjadjaran University.This study use Part Least Square (PLS) in analysing data and specifying of variables inside.

The present research paper aims to measure the level of passion for knowledge while learning social studies among high school students in Saudi Arabia. It adopts a descriptive approach. To achieve its objectives, the researcher created a scale of passion for knowledge that consists of 25 sentences. The study population covered all high school students in Jeddah, but the scale was applied to a stratified sample of 1142 students only who were selected randomly from all the public high schools in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The results show that the level of passion for knowledge is high as it reached 3.77. Compared with the other grades, the highest level of passion for knowledge was found for the first-grade high school students because they studied the new curricula in all stages, while those in the second and third grades studied the curriculum that was implemented before curricula were developed according to Saudi Vision 2030.

Extended AbstractHinode is a solar observation satellite in Japan and its launch was in September 2006. Its name means “SUNRISE“ in Japanese. It has three instruments onboard in visible light, X-ray, EUV to solve mystery of coronal heating and origins of magnetic fields.Hinode has been providing us with impressive solar data, which are very important for not only investigating solar phenomena but also giving new knowledge about the sun to the public. In order to efficiently communicate Hinode data to the public, we organized working group for public use of Hinode data. which are composed of both researchers and educators in collaboration. As follow, we introduce our activities in brief.For the public use of Hinode data, at first, we produced two DVDs introducing Hinode observation results. In particular, second DVD contains a movie for kids, which are devloped to picturebook. Now, it is under producing an illustrated book and a planetarium program. It turn out that the DVDs help the public understand the sun from questionnaire surveys. Second, we developed teaching materials from Hinode data and had a science classroom about the sun, solar observations, practice with PC such as imaging software at junior high school. As the results, they had much interests in Hinode data. Third, we have joint observations with high school students and so on in a few years. The students compare their own data with Hinode data and have a presentation at science contests. The joint observations make their motivation higher in their activities.It is important to record and report our activities in some ways. So, we positively publish papers and have presentions in domestic/international meetings. Though we are supported in budget, resources and so on by NAOJ Hinode Team, we apply research funds for promoting our EPO activities and acquire some funds such as NAOJ Joint Research Expenses and Grands-Aid for Scientific Research Funds since the launch.This way, since its launch, we have continued various and constant EPO activities for the public use of Hinode data and have been giving intense impacts and high interest to the public. As the result, our activities contribute in further extension of Hinode Mission. Those are quite unique and would be reference of other similar ones. Hinode is now operating and solar activities might get more higher.As long as SUN RISE, we would GO FORWARD!!

The spread of massive internet connectivity and penetration of smart devices is a supporting factor why the approach of educational technology is an appropriate step. Currently online learning applications themselves are used for the public both from the level, elementary, junior high, to high school that students get at school can be learned through this online learning application. Now the more widespread online learning applications in Indonesia and more and more people are taking the initiative in making online-based learning with more interesting and creative features. However, no one has specifically developed a specific online learning application for students in vocational high schools. Their existence seems to be marginalized due to the community paradigm which assumes that vocational school children do not need alternative tutoring apart from teachers at school. Though they also need the same thing with high school students and others. Based on this analysis, researchers wanted to create a web-based online learning application for vocational students. Achievement Jack is an online learning application based on learning management system that allows students to be able to do learning through videos delivered by tutors. This study uses the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) waterfall type method, or hereinafter referred to as the waterfall method. Based on the above calculation, from 3 testers who filled out the questionnaire stated that this learning application was running with the results of testing the user interface 98%, the basic functions of the system 100%, and 100% validation. In conclusion, this application runs very well.
