Strength And Conditioning

Although rugby union as a sport is well established, the strength and conditioning practices of high school level players are not well known. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to examine the current strength and conditioning practices that coaches implement at South African high school level rugby. A secondary purpose was to compare practices between high schools of different socio-economic status in South Africa. An online survey or in person interview (depending on the school) was conducted and 43 responses were received: from 28 coaches at schools among the top 100 rugby schools in South Africa for 2016 and from 15 coaches at no-fee public schools in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. Most coaches (72%) performed some form of physical testing, with the most common parameter tested being ‘speed’. The most common strength and conditioning practices utilised included flexibility (stretching), speed (free sprinting), agility (cone drills), plyometric (box drills) and resistance (weight lifting) training. Unlike the no-fee schools, the top 100 rugby schools implemented conditioning practices similar to best-known international practices. Furthermore, no-fee school coaches did not have the qualifications necessary to administer the correct training techniques. Education and upskilling on the best strength and conditioning practices for school level coaches need to be improved, particularly in less privileged schools. Such improvement is crucial to the transformation goals set out by the South African Rugby Union, which would benefit from player development in lower socio-economic schools.

This study is an examination of string access in American public schools; the researcher sought to determine the actual number of school districts in each state that offered string instruction and at which grade levels. Specific questions posed were (a) What is the current relationship between access to string instruction and school-district location, size, and socioeconomic level? (b) How does access vary by school type—elementary, middle, high school? (c) How does access vary in different regions of the country? Data were obtained for each of the 14,183 school districts listed in the 1994-1995 Market Data Retrieval School Directories. A total of 2,268 districts (15.99%) were identified that offered string instruction. Of these, it was found that 71.42% (N = 1,620) offered string instruction at the elementary school level, 78.52% (N = 1,781) at the middle school level, and 80.15%) (N = 1,818) at the high school level. The findings also indicated that string instruction was offered most often in average-socioeconomic-level, medium-sized, urban districts in the Eastern, North Central, and Northwest Music Educators National Conference divisions, and in average-socioeconomic-level, large, metropolitan districts in the Southern, Southwestern, and Western divisions. String instruction was offered least often in low-socioeconomic-level school districts (N = 100) regardless of location or size.

Di pedesaan, biasanya sekolah negeri begitu banyak diminati karena biaya pendidikan yang relatif terjangkau. Namun pada kenyataan, banyak orang tua memilih sekolah swasta untuk mendapatkan fasilitas belajar lebih nyaman baik dari sekolah maupun dari pengajarnya. Unsur-unsur pendidikan menjadi penentu keberhasilan proses peningkatan mutu pendidikan dalam pencapaian tujuan pendidikan di satuan pendidikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeteksi pembagian cluster terkait jumlah sekolah negeri dan swasta tingkat sekolah menengah atas tiap provinsi di Indonesia dengan menerapkan model probabilitas Bernoulli. Berdasarkan analisis yang sudah dilakukan dapat disimpulkan bahwa persebaran cluster menggunakan model probabilitas Bernoulli pada jumlah sekolah negeri tingkat menengah atas di indonesia memiliki 5 cluster dan banyak tersebar di bagian Indonesia wilayah tengah dan timur. Sedangkan pada jumlah sekolah swasta tingkat menengah atas di indonesia memiliki 6 cluster dan banyak tersebar di bagian pulau jawa. Provinsi-provinsi yang masuk ke wilayah cluster tersebut berarti memiliki karakteristik yang mirip yang dimilikinya sehingga mengelompok kedalam satu kelompok yang sama. In rural areas, public schools are usually in great demand because of the relatively affordable costs of education. But in fact, many parents choose private schools to get more comfortable learning facilities from both the school and the teachers. The elements of education are the determinants of the success of the process of improving the quality of education in achieving educational goals in educational units. This study aims to detect the division of clusters related to the number of public and private high school level schools in each province in Indonesia by applying the Bernoulli probability model. Based on the analysis that has been done, it can be concluded that the distribution of clusters using the Bernoulli probability model is that the number of senior high school public schools in Indonesia has 5 clusters and many are scattered in the central and eastern parts of Indonesia. Meanwhile, the number of high school private schools in Indonesia has 6 clusters and many are scattered in parts of the island of Java. Provinces that are included in the cluster area mean that they have similar characteristics so that they are grouped into the same group.

Aim. In this study, the challenges encountered during the introduction of religious education in Turkey are examined within the scope of their intended solutions. Methods. In this study, challenges encountered in the implementation of religious education in Turkey are being discussed in a descriptive manner. Literature scanning and interpretation methods, one of the qualitative research methods, were used in the study.  Results. Religious education in Turkey is both maintained within the formal education system and the non-formal education system. Formal education is provided in public schools run by the Ministry of National Education [MNE]. Primary, secondary and high school education is compulsory for all students. There are Imam Hatip Schools that were opened to provide religious education at secondary and high school level. There are also two hours of compulsory religious education per week in other schools. Non-formal religious education is provided only by the Presidency of Religious Affairs [PRA]. This training is given to people of all ages. For this purpose, the PRA opens several courses. Conclusions. In this study, challenges encountered related to religious education in Turkey are being discussed in two main areas: Challenges in formal education are examined under seven subtitles. Challenges in non-formal education are examined under eight subtitles. Originality. This study is an original study in terms of addressing the challenges in formal and non-formal religious education together. In addition, the possibility of making a collective examination of challenges related to religious education in Turkey would be valuable to the reader.

Robotics technology has now become a technological requirement for all students, both at the elementary school, junior high school and high school level. In fact in some private and public schools the need for education in robotics technology is only a discourse and cannot be realized properly. Many of these schools are trying to work with several agencies providing private education services for robotics. The lack of human resources and knowledge about robotics among high school students has caused these students to not know or lack in participating in the event that should have been the driving force behind the industrial revolution 4.0 about automation and robotics. Even in Jakarta there are not many competitions in the form of robotics competitions that can be participated by high school students. The community engagement team at Tarumanagara University conducted workshops and robot competitions in the form of robo soccer, which also functioned as a media for robotics technology education for high school students. High school students are introduced to robot components in the form of electrical and mechanical components, also about programming. Students are also asked to assemble these components and the results are in the form of robo soccer. These high school students are very happy and enthusiastic about this activity, because curiosity about robots can be achieved. Students from various schools are also active in participating in the Edurobocup Contest organized by the Electrical Engineering study program at Tarumanagara University. It is hoped that this activity can be routinely carried out every year, so that robotics technology can be known while students are still in high school.ABSTRAK:Teknologi Robotika saat ini telah menjadi suatu kebutuhan teknologi bagi seluruh pelajar, baik tingkat Sekolah Dasar, Sekolah Menengah Pertama, maupun Sekolah Menengah Atas. Kenyataannya di beberapa sekolah swasta dan negeri kebutuhan pendidikan akan teknologi robotika ini hanya menjadi wacana dan belum dapat terealisasi dengan baik. Banyak sekolah-sekolah tersebut berusaha bekerjasama dengan beberapa instansi penyedia jasa pendidikan swasta untuk robotika. Minimnya sumber daya manusia dan pengetahuan tentang robotika di kalangan siswa SMA menyebabkan siswa tersebut tidak tahu ataupun kurang dalam mengikuti ajang yang seharusnya menjadi pendorong kemajuan revolusi industri 4.0 tentang otomasi dan robotika. Bahkan di Jakarta belum banyak kompetisi berupa perlombaan robotika yang dapat diikuti oleh siswa SMA. Tim pengabdian kepada masyarakat Universitas Tarumanagara melakukan workshop dan lomba robot berupa robo soccer, yang sekaligus difungsikan sebagai media edukasi teknologi robotika bagi siswa SMA. Siswa SMA dikenalkan tentang komponen robot yang berupa komponen elektrik dan mekanik, juga tentang pemrograman. Siswa juga diminta merakit komponen-komponen tersebut dan hasilnya berupa robo soccer. Siswa SMA ini sangat senang dan antusias mengikuti kegiatan ini, karena keingintahuan tentang robot dapat tercapai. Siswa dari berbagai sekolah juga aktif dalam mengikuti Lomba Edurobocup yang diselenggarakan oleh program studi teknik elektro Universitas Tarumanagara. Diharapkan kegiatan ini dapat rutin dilakukan tiap tahun, sehingga teknologi robotika dapat dikenal saat siswa masih di SMA
