Rubella hemagglutination inhibition antibody titer was determined for 702 sixth grade students from nine randomly chosen schools in a community served well medically. Rubella immunization had been given by private physicians, the health department, hospital clinics, and through a mass immunization effort in 1970. The overall susceptibility rate, as defined by a rubella hemagglutination inhibition titer of less than 1:8, was 15%. Susceptibility did not differ significantly in regard to sex, race, or source of vaccine. Of 469 children with a documented rubella immunization, 13.2% were susceptible or vaccine failures. Menarche was reported by 30% of the girls. To increase the level of protection against rubella during the childbearing years, continued emphasis on early childhood immunization combined with consideration of a booster rubella immunization for preadolescents is recommended.

The primary purpose of this study was to identify the effect on mathematics achievement and attitude of homogeneous and heterogeneous grouping of gifted sixth grade students. The secondary purpose was to find the effect on mathematics achievement and attitude of homogeneous and heterogeneous grouping on average- and low-ability students. There were 208 subjects in the study. The results indicated that there was a positive effect for achievement in mathematics for identified gifted sixth graders in homogeneous grouping when compared to gifted students in heterogeneous grouping using the TOMA (Test of Mathematical Abilities) – Computation Subtest. No statistically significant difference was found for mathematics achievement for average and low ability students based on grouping. Quantitative and qualitative results will be shared related to students' attitudes toward grouping.

The Relationship

Pubertal development has been implicated as the point of origin for decreased body satisfaction and self-concept for girls from prepubertal levels and an increase in body satisfaction and self-concept for boys. Two groups of boys and girls in Grades 3 and 6 completed a Body Satisfaction Questionnaire and the Piers-Harris Self-concept Scale to test this assumption. The third graders were considered to be prepubertal and sixth graders as early pubertal. The sixth-grade boys scored lower on body satisfaction than third-grade boys, and their self-concept scores were positively correlated with body satisfaction scores. For girls, body satisfaction scores were correlated with self-concept in both grades, and few significant differences were found between grades. For girls apparently the relationship between body satisfaction and self-concept may be present before the onset of puberty.

The aim of this research is to identify the difficulties facing sixth- grade primary students in Riyadh in solving the mathematical problem and their causes. The researcher used the descriptive survey method, and the researcher applied two tools to find out that it is a diagnostic test and an interview where the test was applied to a sample of (125) students and then applied the interview to a random sample consisting of (20) students in the sixth grade in the city of Riyadh. Where the results reached indicated the following: Students in understanding, planning and implementing the mathematical problem got a percentage of (23.36%), i.e. an estimate (low), with regard to the percentage of their success in health from the problem solving the mathematical problem (24,24%), with an estimate (very low). Difficulties faced by sixth-graders in the city of Riyadh in solving the mathematical problem, as they were: Identify the unknown and required in the mathematical problem, then make sure of enough information given to solve the mathematical problem; They were followed by determining the strategies that will be used for the solution, then the student is not convinced of the importance of following the four steps to solve the mathematical problem, and finally, the mathematics teacher focuses on the step of implementing the mathematical problem solution only. According to the results, a number of recommendations and proposals were presented to overcome the difficulties facing students in solving the mathematical issue in Riyadh and the whole of the Kingdom.

This paper aims to report results of research on the association between sociodemographic indicators and teachers’ efforts to help students cope with problems and help build students’ Adversity Quotient. A questionnaire in the form of self-report inventory was distributed to 102 fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students of A- and C-accredited primary schools in Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Multiple regression and inductive reasoning were used for analysis. FGDs with teachers were conducted in order to explore teachers’ efforts in helping improve students’ adversity quotient. Research results showed that students who were middle child had significantly lower AQ compared to those of first-born or earlier-born child, while sixth-graders had significantly higher AQ scores compared to fourth graders, and children whose fathers were skilled workers had greater odds of having high AQ. Teachers had already done some LEAD sequence, but had not guided students to explore and analyze the problem by themselves. The results have some implications for the education policy to integrate religious teachings into the curriculum that can facilitate the improvement of students’ Adversity Quotient.

Today’s students search, evaluate and actively use Web information in their school assignments, that is, they conduct an online inquiry. This current survey study addresses sixth-grade students’ self-efficacy beliefs in and attitudes towards online inquiry, and to what extent free-time and school-related Internet activity, gender and learning beliefs explain these. The questionnaire was administered in 10 schools to 340 sixth-graders in Finland. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed three elements of self-efficacy beliefs: self-efficacy in Web searching, the evaluation of sources and synthesising information. Furthermore, attitudes towards online inquiry loaded into two factors: a positive and a negative attitude towards online inquiry. A structural equation model was used to analyse the effects of the explanatory variables on the factors. The results of this work suggest that gender and free-time Internet use predict most sixth-graders’ self-efficacy beliefs in and attitudes towards online inquiry.

This article describes the result of study on the relationship between reading comprehension to vocabulary mastery. Using correlational design, this study assigned 84 students of the sixth grade students of SDN 03 Tenggarong as the sample. The instruments of this study were test on reading comprehension and test on vocabulary mastery. Two kinds of data in terms of scores on reading comprehension and scores on vocabulary mastery were analyzed using product moment formula at p=0.05 and N=84. The study revealed that r-value was .802 and r-table was .294 (p=0.05). The hypothesis testing indicated that r-value was greater than r-table. The evidence showed that the study was significant, meaning that reading comprehension significantly relates to vocabulary mastery. The higher scores on reading comprehension allowed higher scores on vocabulary.

The paper considers how to sustain continuity in teaching Mathematics at primary school and further to Fifth- and Sixth-grade students. As the authors’ educational experience proves, to achieve the above goal it is necessary and useful to help students to develop skills for problem solving situations, given that such training should be provided form the very beginning, i.e., from the first grade. Specified are the techniques and methods of stage-by-stage operation with problem solving situations, which results in both more successful development of students’ skills in problems solving and boosting their intellectual activities. This also helps to improve the students’ skills to learn.
