For students, the transition between secondary school and higher education can be problematic. Their prior knowledge may be insufficient, they may lack the right attitude or not have enough skills for university. Especially gifted students often lack challenges to remain motivated. Moreover, it is not easy for secondary school students to get a good picture of a variety of further studies. For their teachers, it is difficult to keep students informed about actual research in science and technology, as they are not in touch with this research on a regular basis. In this paper, we report about experiences of more than ten years at Utrecht University, offering pre-university students opportunities to be involved in lectures, workshops, laboratories and research at the university. We report on students' motivation to register for this programme, and their experiences afterwards. Important categories of motivation and experience are: raising interest in science; the choice of, and preparation for, further studies; working with a group of similar, motivated students; the wish to be challenged; and the experience of doing research at the university. University lecturers involved in the programme like to work with these students, and are motivated to share their research experiences.

AbstractThis article profiles the historical twin databases of the secondary education school attached to the Faculty of Education at the University of Tokyo. The school was established in 1948. Every year, about 50 pairs of twins of all sex and zygosity combinations, aged 11–12 years, take an examination, and about 10–20 pairs are admitted based on the results. Three datasets exist: one for applicants (11–12 years old), one for junior and senior high school students (12–18 years old) and one for graduates (18–85 years old). Linking the records from these three databases should facilitate several important research projects, for example, life course genetic epidemiologic studies and the verification of the so-called developmental origins of health and disease hypothesis.

Personal Interests

Today's development requires people to have higher education and expertise in a particular field. Because of that, many universities or colleges are beginning to open new majors to suit the increasingly growing and diverse interests. However, the increasing number of majors could make it difficult for many high school students in determining the university or colleges and department they should take. A lack of understanding of their own personal interests and talents, as well as information about said universities or colleges and majors also add to the difficulty of choosing.Therefore, an interesting and simple media to help students to know their potential, provide information about the majors according to their interests, and help them determine the right path is needed.The concept of this major introducing game is based on sources such as interviews with interviewees and questionnaires. In the game, players can find out their interests, talents and appropriate majors, as well as courses and professions related to those majors. Aptitude test in this game is based on Holland’s Theory.

Factors Influencing

One of the most important factors influencing the welfare of the society is the development of science and technology, which in turn depends on scientists and students' science literacy. The aim of the study was to investigate the interest of high school and university students in science subjects, their views on factors that raise interest in subjects and play a determining role in the choice of profession. The questionnaire of Riga secondary school and university students about their interest in science subjects in connection to the choice of their profession was carried out.  The results of the survey showed that the majority of university students are interested, or they have moderate interest about science subjects. Doctors’ assistant speciality students are more interested in science subjects in comparison with pedagogical specialities students. High school students’ interest in science subjects differs to a greater extent in comparison with university students. High school students consider the opportunity to make a career and earn good money as the most important factor in choosing a profession, pedagogical specialties students - a willingness to work in the chosen profession and an opportunity to find a job in the chosen profession, but doctors’ assistant speciality students - an opportunity to work for the community and to help people.

Almost in every aspect of life, people are always faced with several options. Making the right decision will greatly affect our lives in the future. Problems in decision making are also experienced by high school students or high school who want to continue their education to a higher level, namely the University. University is a choice of formal education for high school students who will continue to the higher education. Students who wish to proceed to the University of Diponegoro University will particularly difficult because of the many options available majors. Often some high school students who have a student do not get along with their chosen majors, this course will make their declining interest in learning. As an information technology solution that exists today can be utilized to see the interest of the students so that mismatch and vacillation in the selection of majors can subtract. The purpose of making the determination of intelligent systems majors at Diponegoro University, among others, is, to develop an intelligent software that can help high school students determine the appropriate department at the University of Diponegoro. Intelligent system implements advanced tracing method or Forward Chaining to determine Diponegoro University majoring in accordance with the interests of the students. This can be done by making questions like questionnaires with a variety of options to be able to know the interests of students. Forward Chaining is a method in the form of a strategy to predict or find the solution of a problem that starts with a set of known facts, then lower the new fact that the premise is based on the rule matches the known facts. The system is made to work on a desktop base with Visual Basic programming language, and the database used is Microsoft Access. The results of testing this systems shows that all the features contained in this system can work well, and are able to provide the appropriate department recommendations, as well as ranked by passing grade and information about majors contained in Diponegoro University to the users of intelligent systems is particularly students from high school.

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.

Penalaran matematis menggunakan pola pikir logis dalam menganalisa suatu masalah yang nanti pada akhirnya akan ditandai dengan aktivitas menyimpulkan atas masalah tersebut. Seseorang yang memiliki penalaran yang baik, tentunya akan berhati-hati dalam bertindak dan memutuskan sesuatu. Materi-materi pada kalkulus merupakan materi yang ada pada tingkat sekolah menengah yang nantinya menjadi lahan mengajar mahasiswa calon guru matematika S-1. Kemampuan penalaran yang dikaji mempengaruhi pembelajaran mahasiswa kedepannya karena berlaku pada matakuliah lanjut, contohnya pada kemampuan pembuktian akan selalu digunakan pada matakuliah persamaan diferensial, struktur aljabar, analisis  vektor, analisis real, dll. Sedangkan sebagai calon guru yang nantinya mengajar pada tingkat sekolah menengah, maka kemampuan penalaran ini menjadi salah satu capaian pembelajaran matematika bagi siswa sekolah menengah, maka oleh karena itu guru yang mengajarnya haruslah memiliki kemampuan penalaran yang baik. Analisis kesalahan sangat penting untuk melakukan evaluasi dan refleksi pada struktur soal maupun pada perlakuan dalam pembelajaran dalam upaya memperbaiki kemampuan penalarannya.   Mathematical reasoning uses a logical mindset in analyzing a problem that will eventually be marked by concluding activity on the problem. Someone who has good reason, will certainly be careful in acting and deciding something. The material content on the calculus is the material that exists at the secondary school level which will become the field of teaching the prospective master of math teacher bachelor. The reasoning ability studied influences student learning in the future as it applies to advanced courses, for example in the ability of proof will always be used in the course of differential equations, algebraic structure, vector analysis, real analysis, etc. While as a teacher candidate who will teach at the secondary school level, then this reasoning ability becomes one of the achievements of mathematics learning for high school students, therefore teachers who teach it must have good reasoning ability. Error analysis is very important to evaluate and reflect on the problem structure as well as on the treatment in learning in order to improve the reasoning ability.
