This paper presents an analysis of the double slit experience with light, by using concepts of the Feynman method of "sum of multiple paths" in quantum mechanics. The advantages of this formulation for the teaching of basic aspects of quantum mechanics in the high-school level are analyzed.

Data collection was carried out with document analysis techniques and indept interviews. The validity data test has been done using triangulation theory technique and data triangulation. The analysis of data was conducted using flow analysis i.e, the data reduction, data presentation, and conclutions determination.</em> <em>The results of the study are (1) the intrinsic elements that build the novel Rantau 1 Muara are theme, characterizations, plot, settings, and author’s point of view; (2) the emotional  conditions experienced by characters in the novel Rantau 1 Muara are influenced by three elements i.e, id, ego, and superego; (3) the value of character education that contained in the novel Rantau 1 Muara there are 13 values including religious, honest, tolerance, discipline, hardwork, independent, curiosity, spirit of nationality, love the country, friendly/ communicate, like reading, concern to social issue, and responsibly; (4) novel Rantau 1 Muara can be used as an alternative teaching material of literary appreciation class in Senior High School level.</em></p>

The goal of this proposal is to teach the basic aspects of light from the point of view of quantum mechanics at high school level. To this end, we have adapted Feynman´s Path Integral Method of Quantum Mechanics. This is a continuation of previous works where we considered the quantum behaviour of matter. The situations were to promote the conceptualization of the electron as a quantum system, the probabilistic function and the transition quantum–classic. Now, the goal is to build a new proposal to teach the behaviour of the light from an actual vision and from a unified model: the quantum mechanics, from the reconstruction of a reference that also uses the approach Path Integrals of Richard Feynman. It is adapted for secondary school students using vectors and sums, and it is inserted in a problems context about the light. Careful and accurate language is used, avoiding terms like photon or expressions like particles of light or wave-particle duality, because these ideas could present obstacles to understanding key aspects of quantum theory. This proposal is an alternative to avoid historical approaches commonly used so far and it is being implemented in two groups of students in secondary school (15-16 years old). Key words: Feynman method, light, quantum mechanics, secondary school, teaching.

The newly published English textbooks for Iranian students have been developed and distributed by the ministry of education of the Islamic Republic of Iran since 2012 and in this article, the researchers intend to represent the findings of a textbook evaluation over the series. This newly introduced series titled “Prospect” includes three consecutive textbooks Prospect 1 to 3 designed for grades 7th to 9th of junior high school. This series is a critical turning point from various content and methodological aspects mostly due to a paradigm shift from GTM to communicative approach. The main aim of this paper is to evaluate the English Textbook "Prospect” series from teachers’ point of view and represent experts' recommendations to help the material developers in improving the series. The data of this research is gathered from English teachers working in junior high school level and the population of the research included male and female teachers teaching in capital city of Tehran. The researchers developed a questioner and distributed it among a sample of 100 English teachers (50 male and 50 female teachers). The findings of the research showed that “Prospect” series is evaluated very poor in field of shape and printing quality. Teachers believed that the main pitfall of the books is lacking high quality illustrations which foster students learning. Although many teachers and practitioners participating in the research have found the new series a considerable step forward, it seems that the series faces some serious shortcomings.

This series can be used to supplement most general-mathematics textbooks. The teaching of general mathematics at the senior high school level can be difficult for a variety of reasons. Difficulties include the wide range of computational ability of the students, poor attendance, lack of relevancy from the student's point of view, the lack of good instructional material that meets the wide range of ability, and the lack of adequate visual aids that can be used on an individual basis.

In this paper wo support the position expressed in Max Bell's article in the April 1971 Mathematics Teacher, The point of view is that more attention to applications has been long overdue and severely neglected by most mathematics curricula, particularly those at the high school level. Bell points out that the reasons for this neglect are many, but he also emphasizes these reasons are not prohibitive and should not be deciding factors. In fact, more applications, more usable models, are needed not only in high school classes but also in elementary and college level classes. In this spirit, we wish to bring attention to additional relevant and timely applications of mathematics that can be implemented in certain high school settings.

Can trigonometry be done without first assigning a measure to angles? Certainly a large part can; in particular, the definition of the trigonometric functions and the interrelating trigonometric identities do not depend on the measurement of angles. The assignment of a measure to an angle is important, but it is also important for the teacher to see the precise role which measurement plays. The main objective of this article is to give a brief development of trigonometry without using angular measurement. (The point of view given here is not necessarily the one which is pedagogically the best suited for the high school level.)

This study aimed at analyzing the cognitive dimension based on Revised BloomTaxonomy in reading questions in Look Ahead an English Course for Senior HighSchool Level 1, 2, & 3. This study used quantitative research design. The sampleswere 141 reading questions which taken by using random sampling technique byusing Statistical Program for Social Science (SPSS) version 20.0. in Look Aheadan English Course for Senior High School Level 1, 2, & 3. The data were analyzedby using Table analysis of cognitive dimension of Revised Bloom Taxonomy. Theanalysis showed that the most dominant cognitive dimension of Revised BloomTaxonomy in remembering dimension (57.45%). The second dominant cognitivedimension is understanding dimension (26.24%). The third dominant cognitivedimension is evaluating dimension (10.64%). The fourth dominant cognitivedimension is creating dimension (3.55%). The fifth dominant cognitive dimension isanalyzing dimension (2.13%). There was no cognitive dimension of applyingdimension that applied in reading question of the textbooks.
