The article conducts a questionnaire survey and interview on the students in a high school in Hubei Province of China. The result indicates that the level of high school students’ grammar learning strategy is low. Among the three factors of grammar learning strategy, the cognitive strategy ranks first, then the meta-cognitive strategy and social-affective strategy. And the grammar learning strategy is not correlated with English grammar achievement. The research result demonstrates that there is great difference between female students and male students in English grammar strategy using and grammar score. This outcome is conducive to knowing better about high school students’ condition of grammar learning strategy using, and supplying some reference for enhancing the high school English teaching efficiency.

Cette recherche s’intéresse aux compétences en littératies numériques d’élèves de la 9e à la 11e année du sud, de l’est et du nord de l’Ontario (n=215). Le nombre d’heures que les élèves passent en ligne pour leurs travaux scolaires, le nombre de personnes qui offrent du soutien aux élèves et le nombre de personnes que les élèves aident à développer leurs compétences numériques ressortent de l’analyse comme des facteurs importants et pistes possibles pour des changements pédagogiques sur le terrain. Cette étude sert de point de départ pour de recherches futures en littératies numériques qui tiennent compte du contexte linguistique minoritaire et des voix des élèves concernés. This research focuses on the digital literacies skills and needs of students in Grades 9 to 11 in Southern, Eastern, and Northern Ontario. A quantitative analysis of data collected through online questionnaires (n=215) identifies the time students spend online on their homework, as well as both the digital support that they receive and offer as significant factors in the development of their digital literacies skills. Teachers are thereby called upon to create opportunities for collaborative learning and to renew their pedagogies to enable students to develop and demonstrate their digital literacies skills, in their languages, both within and outside of school.

Abstract African Americans and Hispanic Americans historically have been underrepresented in U.S. jobs in the fields of STEM in large part because of the usability of technology. In this research, the goal was to discover the usability factors relative to operating systems that may limit African Americans and Hispanic Americans from pursuit of computer science higher education. For the purpose of this study, “usability” refers to the “appropriateness of purpose.” Categorized by three factors, appropriateness of purpose can be defined as (i) the effectiveness of the users’ ability to complete tasks while using technology and the quality or output of those tasks, (ii) the efficiency and the level of resources used in performing tasks, and (iii) the satisfaction or users’ reaction to the use of technology (Brooke, 2014). This research examined quantitative analysis based on students’ routine computer task knowledge using a survey questionnaire and the SUS. The population included high school students responding to questions on common tasks and usability. A web survey was conducted to assess the measurement and understanding pattern demonstrated by the participants. The quantitative analysis of the computer usability included ANOVA, independent t-tests and orthogonal contrasts. The analysis of the SUS measured usability and learnability. The results of the data analysis showed that the combined African American and Hispanic group has a mean computer usability score that is significantly lower when compared with the other ethnicities and the SUS findings included the highest gap among this most underrepresented group in the STEM field.

The research instrument is the scale of adversity and the scale of emotional maturity. The result of quantitative analysis with t-Test proves that there is no difference adversity quotient and emotional maturity of junior high school teenagers (p = 0.747 0.05) t = 0.110. The result of quantitative analysis with Pearson correlation test proves that there is a relationship between adversity quotient and emotional maturity of junior high school in Kendari (p = 0.046 0.05).

This study consists of a quantitative analysis comparing the mindsets of high school students from three different regions of Costa Rica. The objective is to identify students’ mindsets for English learning. Possible differences between the three geographical areas are explored. The results suggest that the students in all three regions appear to tend toward the growth mindset for studying English. No salient differences regarding students’ mindsets toward learning English were found among the three regions. The reasons for these results and pedagogical implications are also discussed.
