Resumo Neste artigo apresenta-se um recorte dos resultados de uma prática pedagógica, aplicada, durante os meses de julho e agosto, a um grupo voluntário de oito alunos do Ensino Médio de uma escola estadual do Município de Novo Mundo no estado do Mato Grosso. Desenvolvida à luz da Modelagem Matemática, a pesquisa teve como objetivo principal analisar as implicações do uso desta metodologia, no processo de estudo de diferentes funções com alunos do Ensino Médio, partindo do tema Pecuária. A pesquisa, de cunho qualitativo com análise descritiva, utilizou-se dos seguintes instrumentos de coleta de dados: gravação dos encontros em áudio e vídeo, caderno de campo da professora/pesquisadora, fórum interativo pelo Google sala de aula e entrevista. No decorrer da prática pedagógica, evidenciaram-se a motivação e a dedicação dos alunos em estudarem conceitos matemáticos a partir do contexto em que se encontram inseridos. Destaca-se também a capacidade de pesquisa, tanto no processo de coleta de dados como na matematização, dos alunos envolvidos. Durante o desenvolvimento da prática, construíram-se conceitos iniciais de função afim e função quadrática, bem como foram utilizados conceitos de porcentagem, regra de três, perímetro e área. Por fim, salienta-se que o tema Pecuária proporcionou discussões econômicas, sociais e culturais acerca dos diferentes tipos dessa atividade desenvolvida na comunidade, tornando os estudantes mais críticos e atentos ao contexto em que vivem. Palavras-chave: Modelagem Matemática. Função Afim. Função Quadrática. Pecuária. Ensino Médio. AbstractThis article presents the outcomes of a teaching practice applied from July to August 2020 to a volunteer group of eight Secondary School students in a state school in the municipality of Novo Mundo in Mato Grosso, Brazil. Based on Mathematical Modelling, the main purpose of this research was analyzing the implications of using this methodology in the process of studying distinct functions with Secondary School students, based on the theme of the Livestock Industry. This research was qualitative, used descriptive analysis, and collected data through audio recordings and video shootings of the meetings, teacher/researcher’s field journal, interactive forum through Google Classroom and interview. During this practice, students’ motivation and dedication became evident in studying mathematical concepts related to their environment. Furthermore, their researching capacity stood out, both in collecting the data and in mathematization. In the practice, initial concepts for affine and quadratic functions were developed, as well as concepts of percentage, rule of three, perimeter, and area. Finally, the theme of Livestock Industry promoted economic, social, and cultural discussions about the distinct types of this activity developed within the community, making students more aware and critical of the environment where they live. Keywords: Mathematical Modelling. Affine Function. Quadratic Function. Livestock Industry. Secondary School.

The aim of this study is to explore the understanding and the application of learning theories among the teacher in shaping students’ behaviour. In-depth one-to-one interviews with five experienced teachers were carried out to collect the data. Collected data were analysed based on a qualitative approach by using John Hattie’s eight-mind frame in order to build consistent data. Two themes and twelve sub-themes emerged from the interviews, including mindset (mind-frame 1 to 8) and practices (punishments, rewards, approaches the students, and way of thinking). The findings demonstrated that while teachers' perspectives on learning theories varied, they are largely consistent with Hattie’s mind frame. When perceptions and beliefs are shared, Hattie's mind frames may prove the way of thinking, and it can identify a successful teacher's style of thinking. Learning theories are important for students' learning, according to the teachers in our study, however, it depends on the practices and how the teachers apply the practices in learning theories. Going forward, this research adds to the moulding of school students' behaviours by allowing teachers to use these learning theories in a novel method that could become a new teaching practice in the school system.

21st Century Education is a student-centered learning process. There are several elements applied, namely communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, and the application of pure and ethical values. These elements are also referred to as the standard in PAK-21. But this PAK-21 is something new and ludicrous to apply. The study was conducted to find out the problems faced by the Arabic language teachers during the teaching practice at school. Further, this study was also conducted to analyze the 21st Century Education method and its effects on secondary school students' interest in learning Arabic in there. The respondents of this study were that two trainee teachers have been selected from the Bachelor of Arabic Language with Education at Sultan Idris Education University 2018/2019. This study is qualitative, and data collected through interviews. The results show that UPSI trainee teachers use 21st Century Education electronically and tools learning during teaching practice. In addition, the achievement and interest of secondary school students in Arabic subjects also increased after the trainee teacher applied 21st Century Education.

Abstract Dictionary use in secondary-school classics education in the Netherlands is problematic and an important cause of poor translations and text comprehension. Research on the topic is scarce and dictionary training plays a marginal role in the classics teaching practice. This explorative, qualitative think-aloud study examines which dictionary activities lead to success. We observed excellent secondary-school students while they were translating an Ancient Greek text. A feedback loop model, characterised as a slow process of constant verification, is used to analyse their dictionary behaviour. The findings show that successful dictionary activities depend on moving back and forth between text and dictionary, while the students reduce the cognitive load by activating schemata. Performing informed searches and using their fingers or the ribbon bookmark facilitate this process. In addition, closely monitoring the process with a critical mind, and linguistic reflection using appropriate metalanguage seem crucial.

Mathematical modelling is part of many curricula around the world. Some of these curriculum statements are vague and general. There is a need for statements to be more specific with supporting examples for implementation of curriculums. There is also a need for further development of activities focused on authentic mathematical modelling behaviour. To address this problem, an ethnographic study in New Zealand was carried out to identify the behaviours of a real world mathematical modelling team. These behaviours were then explored to determine what they could look like for a sixteen-year-old student. This paper will present the modelling behaviours of the real world modelling team and the potential authentic mathematical modelling behaviours of a secondary school student.

Summary The German Pupils Academy (Deutsche Schüler-Akademie) is a summer-school program for highly gifted secondary-school students. Three types of program evaluation were conducted. Input evaluation confirmed the participants as intellectually highly gifted students who are intrinsically motivated and interested to attend the courses offered at the summer school. Process evaluation focused on the courses attended by the participants as the most important component of the program. Accordingly, the instructional approaches meet the needs of highly gifted students for self-regulated and discovery oriented learning. The product or impact evaluation was based on a multivariate social-cognitive framework. The findings indicate that the program contributes to promoting motivational and cognitive prerequisites for transforming giftedness into excellent performances. To some extent, the positive effects on students' self-efficacy and self-regulatory strategies are due to qualities of the learning environments established by the courses.

Based on the model of Reid, Giles and Abrams (2004 , Zeitschrift für Medienpsychologie, 16, 17–25), this paper describes and analyzes the relation between television use and ethnolinguistic-coping strategies among German speakers in South Tyrol, Italy. The data were collected among secondary school students (N = 415) in 2011. The results indicated that the television use of the students was dominated by the German language. A mediation analysis revealed that TV viewing contributed to the perception of ethnolinguistic vitality, the permeability of intergroup boundaries, and status stability, which in turn affected ethnolinguistic-coping strategies of mobility (moving toward the outgroup), creativity (maintaining identity without confrontation), and competition (fighting for ingroup rights and respect). Findings and theoretical implications are discussed.

We investigated effects of the media’s portrayal of boys as “scholastic failures” on secondary school students. The negative portrayal induced stereotype threat (boys underperformed in reading), stereotype reactance (boys displayed stronger learning goals towards mathematics but not reading), and stereotype lift (girls performed better in reading but not in mathematics). Apparently, boys were motivated to disconfirm their group’s negative depiction, however, while they could successfully apply compensatory strategies when describing their learning goals, this motivation did not enable them to perform better. Overall the media portrayal thus contributes to the maintenance of gender stereotypes, by impairing boys’ and strengthening girls’ performance in female connoted domains and by prompting boys to align their learning goals to the gender connotation of the domain.
