Abstract. A program was developed to educate young drivers about laws and guidelines governing farm equipment on public roadways in Tennessee. The goal of the program was to make young drivers aware of their responsibilities and the responsibilities of farm equipment drivers when sharing public roadways. A presentation was developed outlining the topics and was accompanied by identical pre- and post-surveys. The material was presented to drivers’ education classes and agriculture science classes at several high schools in west and middle Tennessee. A total of 365 students between the ages of 13 and 19 participated in the program. The pre- and post-survey scores were used to determine the effectiveness of the program. The average score of the pre-survey for all participants was 66.0%. This score significantly improved to 89.3% for the post-survey (p < 0.0001 for paired t-test). Based on these scores, the students were able to gain a better understanding of the laws and guidelines in Tennessee concerning farm equipment on public roadways.

Remarkable Progress

As a result of conducting a questionnaire about science classes to high school students in 2016, the percentage of high school students who answered "I like science" and "Science is important" is lower than other subjects. However, more than 80% of elementary and junior high school students said they like experiments and observations. In addition, the 2019 smartphone penetration rate survey found that it is popular among about 90% of students. In addition, VR technology has recently made remarkable progress. From the above, I researched the idea that creating a simulation application using VR technology using smartphones would change the way high school students think about science classes. In this paper, we have developed a simulation application for science experiments. Subjects were asked to experience the newly created app and complete a questionnaire. As a result, the average score is 4 out of 5 and it is not bad. But at the same time, a problem was found. The problem was that this app was a simulation app, so there wasn't much user operability, so I wanted a little more operability. I want to make apps in other fields while improving the problem.

Significant Difference

Boarding schools have their own peculiarities. Students in boarding schools will spend all their time in schools and dormitories, while students in day schools still have experience with their families and neighborhoods. This difference in experience will lead to differing perception, so it is assumed that there are differences in school well being in the two school models. The purpose of this study is to find out whether or not there is a difference in school well being for students in boarding public high schools (SMAN) with day public high schools (SMAN) in Malang. Using quantitative method. The research was conducted in Malang City on July 19, 2018. The total participants involved in this study were 186 people, consisting of 89 students from day high schools and 97 students from boarding high school. The results of the study using the t-test showed a significant difference in the average score in the variable school well being between boarding high school students and day high school students (t= 5.29; p <0.05). The average score of a school well being at boarding school is higher than day school. Viewed from its aspect, it was found a significant difference in scores significantly on the aspect of having, not found a difference in the average score significantly on the love aspect, found the difference in average scores was significantly on the aspect of being. Judging from the average score of each aspect, the boarding high school students have an average score of the aspect of the school well being higher than the day high school students. That is, if viewed on a per-aspect basis of school well being, boarding high school students feel better than day high school students. AbstrakSekolah asrama memiliki kekhasan tersendiri. Siswa yang berada di sekolah asrama akan menghabiskan seluruh waktunya di sekolah dan asrama, sementara siswa pada sekolah bukan asrama masih memiliki pengalaman dengan keluarga dan lingkungan tempat tinggalnya. Perbedaan pengalaman ini akan menimbulkan perbedaan penilaian sehingga diasumsikan terjadi perbedaan kesejahteraan siswa pada kedua model sekolah tersebut. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui ada atau tidaknya perbedaan kesejahteraan siswa yang berada di SMA Negeri (SMAN) asrama dengan SMA Negeri (SMAN) bukan asrama di Kota Malang. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif di Kota Malang pada tanggal 19 hingga 26 Juli 2018.
