Statistical reasoning is needed by students to understanding statistical concepts and problems. Students’ efforts in understanding statistical information and problems often involve statistical process, namely the process of organizing and reducing data and the process of analyzing and interpreting data.  This research is descriptive study with qualitative approach that aims to analyze and describe the senior high school students’ statistical reasoning in solving non-routine problems. The subjects in this study were three high school students of grade XII who have same sex and have equivalent mathematical abilities. The instruments used in this study consisted of the Mathematical Ability Test (MAT), the Statistical Reasoning Test (SRT), and interview guidlines. The results showed that students who have low mathematical ability are also reach low level in statistical reasoning. In solving problem related to process of organizing and reducing data, the students reached level 1 and level 2 in statistical reasoning, because the students determine the mode value using incorrect concepts and ways, that are input the data to the mode formula incorrectly, determining the mode value of data which are presented in the frequency distribution table just by looking at frequency column, and cannot combine and sort the data in percent form correctly. In solving the problem related to the process of analyzing and interpreting data, the students reached level 1 in statistical reasoning, because they cannot interpret the tendency of two data groups, so the response which are given is incorrect. Keywords: statistics, statistical process, statistical reasoning.

A modification of the Paired-Stimuli Parent Program (Florance, 1977) was adapted for the treatment of articulatory errors of visually handicapped children. Blind high school students served as clinical aides. A discussion of treatment methodology, and the results of administrating the program to 32 children, including a two-year follow-up evaluation to measure permanence of behavior change, is presented.

Summary: This article describes a triarchic analysis of an aptitude-treatment interaction in a college-level introductory-psychology course given to selected high-school students. Of the 326 total participants, 199 were selected to be high in analytical, creative, or practical abilities, or in all three abilities, or in none of the three abilities. The selected students were placed in a course that either well matched or did not match their pattern of analytical, creative, and practical abilities. All students were assessed for memory, analytical, creative, and practical achievement. The data showed an aptitude-treatment interaction between students' varied ability patterns and the match or mismatch of these abilities to the different instructional groups.

Identity Exploration

This study examined how social opportunity structure influences identity exploration and commitment of Albanian high school students. A total of 258 students completed a questionnaire that gauged their identity exploration and commitment in three domains: education, occupation, and family. ANOVA results indicated that, overall, students scored highest in exploration in the domain of education and in commitment in the domain of family. Students' exploration and commitment were linked to gender. Albanian female students scored higher than male students in exploration and commitment regarding education and family. Perceived work opportunities in Albania or abroad also significantly moderated participants' exploration in the domain of education and were associated with commitment in education and occupation. As one of the first studies to explore Albanian youth's identity development in relation to social opportunity structure, findings are discussed in light of furthering the field of Albanian adolescent and youth development.
