AbstractThis case study on three Chinese EFL learners in junior high school examined the interaction inside and outside learners’ EFL self-concept system, and the findings revealed: (1) inside the self-concept system, the interaction between the global and specific self-concepts is of much complexity; (2) the gap between the global and specific self-concepts would cause imbalance in the self-concept system, and thus trigger efforts to improve learning, while some reconciling elements in the global self-concept may sustain balance in the self-concept system, inhibiting learners’ motivation to improve; and (3) the degree of specificity of learners’ specific selfconcepts that inform learners’ learning efforts contributes considerably to the outcome of these efforts, as does that of learners’ beliefs about EFL learning which mediate the learning efforts.

Education In China

Since the 1920s the pattern prevailing in the field of primary and secondary education in China has been that of a twelve-year cycle divided into three basic parts—a six-year primary or elementary school followed by a three-year “junior middle” or junior high school and a three-year “senior middle” or senior high. The six-year elementary cycle was further subdivided into four years of junior grades followed by two years of senior grades.

The level of students’ involvement in examination malpractice in Junior High Schools in Ghana has become increasingly worrying, problematic and threatening to the well-being of Ghanaian educational system. However, there seems to be paucity of studies on the causes and effects of examination malpractices among Junior High School students in Ghana and Adansi South District (New Edubiase) of the Ashanti Region of Ghana in particular. This research seeks to bridge this knowledge gap by identifying and discussing the causes and effects of examination malpractices among Junior High School students in New Edubiase. Study methods include the use of questionnaire (open and close ended questions). A total of ninety (90) respondents comprising of sixty (60) students and thirty (30) teachers who took part in this study were randomly and purposively selected. The results indicate that collusion, examination leakages, smuggling of answers scripts and late submission of parcels, sending foreign materials into the examination hall, impersonation, dubbing, writing on items (sheets of papers, handkerchief, erasers, and covers of calculator), writing answers on question papers and exchanging them with others to copy, communicating orally or through gestures during examination and using fake names index numbers, buying examination questions for students and offering money to examination authorities to assist their children and mass cheating are the nature of examination malpractices among Junior High School students in New Edubiase. The study revealed that examination malpractices brings total loss of trust in the educational system, reduced enrolmentof students in school, frequent cancellation of results, discourages good students/candidates from studying hard, derives innocent students’ opportunity for admission, decrease job efficiency, bring dissatisfaction on the part of the candidates, renders the goals of education invalid, examination cheats obtain certificates which they cannot defend, examination malpractice has reduced the quality and standard of education in the country, examination malpractice adversely affects national productivity as the certificates workers possess are not backed with commensurate knowledge, skills and values, examination malpractice makes employers of labour lose confidence in the educational system and the credentials that are paraded by job seekers and lastly examination malpractice leads to high educational wastage as those who cheat to pass examinations at a lower level, achieve very poorly at a higher level.Keywords: Causes, Effects, Examination, Malpractices, Junior High School, Students, New Edubiase, Ashanti Region, Ghana.

In this paper we investigate students’ outcomes regarding the use of a dual modality programming environment that combines both text mode and block mode in class. The survey targets students of the 3nd grade of Junior High School (Gymnasium) in Greece and attempts to answer research questions regarding their perceptions after a one year course using the programming environment Pencil Code. The analysis of the collected data clearly indicates that the vast majority of students have used both modes during their work. The students find the block mode easier than the text mode but prefer to modify or correct the code using the text mode. We also noticed significant correlations between the mode used and the students’ gender, their school grades and their future course choice. The findings of this study can be useful when redesigning new Informatics curricula for the secondary education.

Stroke Risk Factors

Background and Purpose: School-based programs of stroke enlightenment would be promising means to improve prevention of stroke as well as to spread the knowledge of stroke. Junior high school education is compulsory in Japan. We developed an educational system of stroke for junior high school students and teachers. Our purpose is to verify the effectiveness of this educational system to acquire knowledge of stroke for junior high school educations. Methods: Subjects were 100 students in the 3 rd grade of a public junior high school (40 girls, 14-15 years old). A stroke neurologist gave 45 minutes’ lesson in stroke to 25 students (S group) and 1 schoolteacher of health education by use of our educational system. A stroke neurologist also performed instructions to the schoolteacher how to use our stroke educational system to the students. The system includes stroke signs, symptoms, the FAST massage (Facial droop, Arm weakness, Speech disturbance, Time to call 119) and risk factors. After instructions by the stroke neurologist, the schoolteacher performed the lesson using the same educational system to the other 75 students (T group). Questionnaires on stroke knowledge (total 12 items for stroke signs and 10 items for risk factors) were examined for all students at the baseline and immediately after the lesson. Results: The total scores were not significantly different between the 2 groups either at the baseline or immediately after the lesson. In the S group, the items of correct answers on stroke signs[median 11(IQR 8-11) vs. 6(6-8.5) , P<0.001 ]and stroke risk factors [9(8-9) vs. 7(5-7.5), P<0.001] significantly increased after the lesson than at baseline. In the T group, the items of correct answers on stroke signs [10(8-11) vs. 7(6-9), P<0.001 ]and stroke risk factors [8(7-10) vs. 7(6-8); P<0.001]also significantly increased. On the FAST massage, there is no significant difference between 2 groups (73% vs. 92%; P=0.056). Conclusions: The stroke education program using our educational system would be promising means for junior high school educations.

Iranian students start learning English as a foreign language from Grade Seven in the first grade of junior high school to Grade Twelve in their formal educational system. However, their weak English production has encountered educational system with this serious question why students are not able to speak English despite a six-year instructional period at school. Since one of the effective factors in teaching a language is the textbook, this study focuses on the content of textbooks and teachers' attitudes toward the newly-published English textbooks. The study evaluates the quality of the Seventh Grade English language textbook, Prospect 1, for Iranian junior high school students, which was introduced first by the Ministry of Education in 2013. This research project evaluates the new textbook that is considered to be a fundamental shift in the English language schoolbooks in Iran. A questionnaire was used in this study to elicit the perspectives of 44 English language teachers. The questionnaire consisted of 40 items grouped under 7 main categories: Practical Considerations, Layout and Design, Activities, Skills, language type, subject and content, and conclusion. The data was subjected to analysis through descriptive statistics. The data were analyzed quantitatively. For the analysis of the responses to the questionnaires, Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 19.0) was used, and necessary calculations were carried out. The data in the questionnaire were analyzed using mean scores and standard deviations. The findings were generally in favor of the textbook except for the skills. The findings also revealed despite usual teachers' resistance to new changes, they have positive views toward the newly- published book. Moreover, although teachers' satisfaction in Conclusion, Layout and design, and Language Type is rather high, it seems they need more attention in comparison with Practical Consideration, Activities and Subject and Content.
