Kuala Tungkal<strong> </strong>is a district located in the east coast Province of Jambi. Kuala Tungkal has excellent potential in the field of fisheries. Various types of fish sold in the Parit 1 Kuala Tungkal Market. Fish is a among the examples of the diversity of fauna in Indonesia. This diversity needs to be introduced to students to improve the contextuality of learning. This study aims to determine the type of fishes being sold in the market. Student and teacher perceptions about the book that developed based on the results of fish studies in the Parit 1 Market. This research is descriptive and analytic. The study describes the type of fishes being sold in the Parit 1 Kuala Tungkal Market through direct observation and interviews with fish traders, as well as the perceptions of students and teachers of high school of Kuala Tungkal (SMA N 1 Kuala Tungkal) about the book. The results showed there are 23 species of saltwater fish from 15 families and 7 species of freshwater fish from 6 families. Students appraised the book belongs as “very good” with a value of 94% and teachers also appraised the book as “very good” with a value 86,7%.

“English is the only foreign language taught in Saudi schools as part of the mandatory curriculum and therefore enjoys a relatively high status” (Carfax Educational Projects, 2016, p. 10). The teaching of English as a Foreign Language (EFL/L2) within the basic curriculum of Saudi Arabia commences in the fourth grade. However, in spite of the best efforts of the Saudi Ministry of Education (MoE) to develop English learning in schools, the language proficiency of Saudi high school leavers remains insufficient to carry out even basic interactions, let alone undertake university study through the medium of English (Al-Johani, 2009; Al-Seghayer, 2014; Alhawsawi, 2013; Alrabai, 2016; Khan, 2011; Rajab, 2013). In fact, the recent Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL iBT, 2017) demonstrated an overall average score of 64 of 120 for Saudis who took the TOEFL iBT between January and December 2016. This paper therefore seeks to examine the factors responsible for the low EFL performance of Saudi students on completion of their high school studies. In order to do so, the researcher randomly selected 60 school leavers and 30 teachers who responded to an interview designed to elicit the underlying causes of such poor English proficiency. The results revealed that the reasons fall into a number of discrete categories related to the student, the teacher, the learning environment, and the curriculum.

Choral Classroom

Through the use of an intrinsic case study, I investigated student and teacher perceptions of a collaborative and student-directed music learning approach in a high school choral classroom. Students ( N = 29) in a beginning high school choir were asked to choose and learn a piece of repertoire without substantive input or help from the choral teacher. Results indicated that students completed this project successfully and achieved a well-received public performance of the piece. Students reported a strong sense of accomplishment as well as increased collaboration skills and opportunities to apply their music knowledge. Although students and teacher acknowledged some social conflicts and relatively high levels of social loafing and off-task behavior during this project, these challenges did not seem to reduce the overall perception of success.

This study explored both student and teacher perceptions and preferences regarding technology use in the second language (L2) classroom using the digital identity theoretical framework in order to examine when technology is a value-add. Five teacher participants' (n = 5) implemented both textbook and non-textbook technology, into 10 (n =10) intact L2 classes totaling 81 student participants (n = 81), for approximately three months. Analyses of pre-, post-, and monthly surveys revealed that technology implementation created connections between students, teachers, and L2 learning and teaching processes. Although participants had distinct experiences, they shared some perceptions and preferences. Not only does this study add to the small body of research exploring comparisons between students and teachers, but it also shows that both digital native students and digital immigrant teachers need support to better understand and value L2 technologies.

Participants from first grade through college (N = 168) evaluated the achievement behavior of hypothetical students differing in ability, effort expenditure, and test outcome, both from the perspective of student and teacher. Perceptions of teacher values were consistent over age: Effort and outcome were perceived as highly salient cues for determining degree of teacher rewards and punishment, with student ability level being of little relevance. In contrast, student perspectives indicated a high valuation of ability across all grade levels. Moreover, whereas effort was strongly valued in elementary school, inconsistencies appeared in junior high school such that by high school and college a devaluation of effort occurred. This progressive devaluation was associated with an evolving student belief that low-effort expenditure implies higher ability.

The current study explored mathematics perceptions of teachers and high school students. The online survey consisting of three open-ended questions was answered by 104 high school students and 92 mathematics teachers. A qualitative descriptive research approach was applied to analyse the data. The results of this study showed that mathematics is seen as a branch of science, everything, explanations of concepts with numbers, language, universal language, language of nature, language of universe, life, method, numbers, and tool. Moreover, it was found that there are differences in perceptions between students and teachers as well as males and females. The results of this study extend what we know about student and teacher perceptions of mathematics and add an important contribution to mathematics education research.

The objectives of this study were to determine 1) the relative degrees to which students' notions of physiological functions are teleologic or mechanistic in nature, 2) whether these notions differ between students in elementary and advanced-level physiology courses, and 3) whether the degree of teleologic vs. mechanistic thinking can be modified by direct discussion of this topic. A questionnaire that determined whether students thought about body functions in a teleologic (why) or mechanistic (how) manner was administered to the following categories of students: 1) a class of high school biology students, 2) classes of students taking elementary college-level physiology courses, and 3) college students in advanced physiology courses. Overall, there was an average 61% teleologic response among the various classes, and differences between the classes were not statistically significant (P greater than 0.05). To address objective 3, one of the classes was presented the questionnaire after being given a lecture on teleology vs. mechanistic approaches to body function. The average teleological response of this class was only 12%, a value significantly lower in comparison, by a one-way analysis of variance, to any of the other groups (P less than 0.0001). These results indicate that the students have a strong tendency to think of body functions in teleological terms and that this tendency can be modified on a short-term basis by a direct discussion (by an instructor) of teleologic vs. mechanistic thinking.
