This research was conducted as a descriptive study to determine the healthy lifestyle behaviors of high school students. The schools located in Rize Province were grouped (n: 9926). The number of samples was determined to be 370 according to the sample width formula, which is known as the number of individuals in the phase. A total of 449 volunteer students were selected from a high school in each group by simple random sampling method and the study was completed. To collect data, the personal information form and healthy lifestyle behaviors scale II, which were developed by the researcher, were used. The data were evaluated using percentile, ANOVA and t test. It was determined that the average score of healthy lifestyle behaviors scale II scores of the students was moderate with 128.06 ± 20.19. The average score of female students' health responsibility and interpersonal relationship scores were higher than male students (p <0.05). The average physical activity score of male students was found to be higher than that of female students (p <0.05). A significant positive correlation between the age of the students and the class with 'interpersonal relations' and the total score was found (p <0.05). The acquisition of positive health behaviors during the adolescence period is important to perform healthy behaviors in the future life of the individual. As a result of this study, it is suggested that education programs should be established to protect and improve the health of the students. Also, education should develop the self-efficacy of the students. Moreover, it should be conducted according to the low-scored areas and schools. Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.ÖzetBu araştırma, lise öğrencilerinin sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışlarının belirlenmesi amacıyla tanımlayıcı olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Rize il merkezinde bulunan okullar gruplandırılmıştır(n: 9926). Evrende birey sayısı bilinen örneklem genişliği formülüne göre örneklem sayısı 370 olarak belirlenmiş, her gruptaki birer liseden basit rastgele örneklem yöntemiyle toplam 449 gönüllü öğrenci ile çalışma tamamlanmıştır.  Verilerin toplanmasında, araştırmacı tarafından oluşturulan kişisel bilgi formu ve sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları ölçeği II kullanılmıştır. Veriler bilgisayar ortaminda yüzdelik, ANOVA ve t testi kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir.Öğrencilerin sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları ölçeği puan ortalamasının 128.06±20.19 ile orta düzeyde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Kız öğrencilerin sağlık sorumluluğu ve kişilerarası ilişkiler puan ortalaması erkek öğrencilerin puan ortalamasından yüksek bulunmuştur(p<0.05). Erkek öğrencilerin fiziksel aktivite puan ortalaması, kız öğrencilerin puan ortalamasından yüksek bulunmuştur(p<0.05). Öğrencilerin yaşı ve sınıf ile ‘kişilerarası ilişkiler’ ve toplam puan arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı ilişki saptanmıştır (p<0.05).Adölesan döneminde olumlu sağlık davranışlarının kazanılması bireyin ileriki yaşamında sağlıklı davranışlar gerçekleştirmesi açısından önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışma sonucunda öğrencilerin sağlıklarını korumak ve geliştirmek için eğitim programları oluşturulması ve eğitimin özellikle öz- etkililiği geliştirici olması ve daha çok düşük puan alınan alanlara ve okullara göre yapılması önerilmektedir.

<p>This study aimed to determine whether problematic internet use and healthy lifestyle behaviors among high school students varied by gender, grade level, academic average, and school type variables and to investigate the relationship between problematic internet use and healthy lifestyle behaviors. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 310 students enrolled in three different high schools in Giresun province in Turkey, including 159 females and 151 males. The study employed the relational screening model. The data collection tools used in the study were the Problematic Internet Use Scale (PIUS), the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale (HLBS) and a Personal Information Form. Independent group t-test, one-way variance analysis, and Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient were utilized in the analysis of the data. The results of the study indicated that problematic internet use varied by grade level, academic average, and school type variable, it did not show a difference according to gender and whether parents live together or apart variables, and that healthy lifestyle behaviors did not show any difference according to any variables at all.

Abstract Implementation of demonstration method in the teaching of chemistry is assigned as the right strategy to improve students’ achievement as it is proved that the method can bring an abstract concept to reality in the class. The study is conducted to vocational high school students in SMKN1 Pargetteng getteng Sengkut Pakfak Barat at accademic year 2013. The teaching has been carried out three cycles on the teaching of chemistry topic of colloid system. In the study, the class is divided into two class, experiment class and control class. The demontration method is used to teach students in experimental class while the teaching in control class is conducted with lecture method. Both are evaluated by using multiple choise tests before and after the teaching procedures, and the ability of students to answer the problems are assigned as students’ achievements. The results showed that demonstration method improved students’ achievement in chemistry. The students in experimental class who are taughed with demonstration method (M=19.08±0.74) have higher achievements compare with control class (M=12.91±2.52), and both are significantly different (tcalculation 22.85 > ttable 1.66). The effectivity of demostration method in experimental class (97%) is found higer compare to conventional method in control class (91%).
