INTRODUCTION: Brazilian vocational high school education in Computing faces problems such as course failure and dropout, plus dropout from the programs, factors that directly contribute to the deficit of such professionals. OBJECTIVE:  This paper reports an experience of a contextualized and spiral approach carried out with students of the technical program in Informatics. METHOD: The approach aims to facilitate learning and motivate students through the tools JES and PPlay, and the Python language. RESULTS: Learned lessons suggest the adequacy of Python as first language, and of contextualized activities, context reuse and challenges as factors contributing to motivation and learning. CONCLUSION: The use of contexts, languages and environments in sequential and spiral blocks fosters a more active posture of students regarding learning activities.

We all know that due to external pressure the Mathematical Association of America appointed a committee called the National Committee on Mathematical Requirements and that this committee made recommendations for the reorganization of mathematics in secondary education. Through external pressure, I say, this was brought about; for either mathematicians were too near to be able to focus on the large defects that appeared to outsiders or were too busy amplifying and extending the knowledge brought down from the ancients to realize that times were changing and that if we were to give every child a high school education, we must use a different procedure from that of the old world where only a select class receive a broad education.

The objective of the study was to find an appropriate Balanced Scorecard model to be implemented in the vocational education management and to test the effectiveness of balanced scorecard internal model for the vocational high school education. The method that the researchers implemented in the study was the research and development designed by Borg & Gall. The data in the study were gathered by means of in-depth interview, observation and documentary analysis in the five prominent vocational high schools from the Province of Southeast Sulawesi. The informants in the study were selected by means of snowball sampling. The data validity was tested by the triangulation technique. The First Stage and the Second Stage of model validation/ experiment was implemented by means of Delphi technique and the validation/experiment of both stages involved 50 leaders from the state and the private vocational high schools in the Province of Southeast Sulawesi. The study showed that the appropriate Balanced Scorecard model for the vocational high school educational management has been a system that might be implemented for identifying and for measuring the main performance of vocational high schools through four perspectives namely the financial perspective, the customer perspective, the internal process perspective and the learning and growth perspective. Balanced Scorecard model for the vocational high school education has met the criteria of quite high internal effectiveness model and has belonged to the good criteria. As a result, the Balanced Scorecard model might be implemented as the model of vocational high school managerial implementation.Keyword: balanced scorecard, vocational high school and vocational high school performance PENGEMBANGAN MODEL BALANCED SCORECARD UNTUK PENDIDIKAN SMKAbstrakTujuan penelitian ini adalah mengembangkan model Balanced Scorecard yang cocok untuk diterapkan dalam pengelolaan pendidikan kejuruan dan menguji keefektifan internal model Balanced Scorecard untuk pendidikan SMK.

In Vietnam, general education includes primary education, lower secondary education (the period of basic education) and upper secondary education (the period of vocational orientation education). In particular, primary education is compulsory for all children from 6 to 14 years old, is implemented in 5 school years, from first grade to fifth grade. The age of students entering first grade is six years old. Primary education aims to help students form the initial foundations for proper and long-term development of morality, intelligence, physicality, aesthetics and basic skills for students to continue high school. Secondary education is conducted in four school years, from grade six to grade nine. Students entering sixth grade must have an elementary school diploma. Secondary education aims to help students consolidate and develop the results of primary education; have basic secondary education and initial knowledge about technology and career to continue high school, vocational high school, vocational training or enter a working life. High school education is conducted in 3 school years, from grade ten to grade twelve. Students entering tenth grade must have a junior high school diploma. High school education is aimed at helping students consolidate and develop the outcomes of lower secondary education, complete high school education and common knowledge about technology and career guidance for further college education, college, professional secondary school, apprenticeship or enter the working life. Thus, the term general education is a term with broad connotation including primary education, lower secondary education (basic education period) and upper secondary education (education period) career orientation. Within the scope of this research, we use the term school governance used to mean a mode of action, which is directed toward the goal of being accomplished effectively, by and through others. Governance activities are indispensable activities that arise when people work together to accomplish goals.
