The purpose of this study is to describe the intuition characteristics of junior high school students in solving mathematical problems viewed from mathematical abilities. This research based on qualitative descriptive study. The subjects of this study were taken from Lab School UNESA  Junior High School, which consisted of three students from class VIII A, namely one student with high, moderate,  and low mathematical ability. The method that used to collect data consists of the mathematical ability test,  problem solving test and so of the interview method. Data analysis uses the intuitive characteristic indicators at each stage of the problem solving. The conclusion of this study indicate that student with high mathematical ability at the stage of understanding the problem using affirmatory intuition with the characteristics of extrapolativeness, intrinsic certainty and perseverance, at the stage of making plans using anticipatory intuition with the characteristics of global ideas, and at the stage of carrying out plans and checking again not using intuition. Student with moderate mathematical ability at the stage of understanding the problem using affirmatory intuition with the characteristics of extrapolativeness, intrinsic certainty and perseverance, at the stage of making plans using anticipatory intuition with the characteristics of global ideas, and at the stage of carrying out plans and checking again not using intuition. Student with low mathematical ability at the stage of understanding the problem using affirmatory intuition with the characteristics of perseverance and coerciveness, at the stage of making plans using anticipatory intuition with the characteristics of global ideas, and at the stage of carrying out plans and checking again not using intuition. Keywords: Intuition, Problem solving , Mathematics ability

The objective of this study is to examine the test anxiety levels of the high school students in terms of various variables. The study was conducted in a screening model from descriptive research methods. The data is collected from 734 students, who are in the 11th grade of five different high schools in 2016-2017 education year in İstanbul province. The research data was collected by the "Test Anxiety Inventory" developed by Spielberg and adapted by Öner and "Personal Information Form" developed by the researchers. Initially, data was tested whether the assumptions are met or not during the analysis. Then, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), independent t-test, and Mann-Whitney U test were used to analyze the anxiety levels of the students according to various variables. Results shows that there were statistically significant differences in the test anxieties of the students according to the sex; the female students were more worried in both the affective and delusional sub-dimensions of the inventory than the male students. It was also found that students who are satisfied with their classes or schools have lower levels of anxiety than others. In addition, students who felt self-anxious about the university entrance exam had higher anxiety levels compared to other students, and students, who believed that they would be successful had lower level of anxiety than others.  Lastly, according to results, number of siblings, siblings, private tutoring, and having a separate room to study did not affect the test anxiety level of students.Extended English abstract is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı, lise öğrencilerinin sınav kaygı düzeylerini etkileyen değişkenleri incelemektir. Çalışma, betimsel araştırma yöntemlerinden tarama modelinde yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, İstanbul ilinde 2016-2017 eğitim-öğretim yılında 5 lisenin 11. sınıfına devam eden toplam 734 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma verileri Spielberg tarafından geliştirilen ve uyarlama çalışması Öner tarafından yapılan “Sınav Kaygısı Envanteri” ve araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizi aşamasında öncelikle varsayımların karşılanıp karşılanmadığı test edilmiştir. Ardından öğrencilerin sınav kaygı düzeylerinin çeşitli değişkenlere göre anlamlı bir farklılık gösterip göstermediği tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA), bağımsız gruplar t-testi ve Mann-Whitney U testi ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda öğrencilerin sınav kaygılarında cinsiyete göre anlamlı farklılıklar bulunmuş, kız öğrencilerin erkek öğrencilere göre envanterin hem duyuşsal hem de kuruntu alt boyutunda daha kaygılı oldukları tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre sınıflarından veya okullarından memnun olan öğrencilerin kaygı düzeyleri diğerlerine göre daha düşük çıkmıştır. Bunun yanında geçmişte sınav kaygısı hissettiğini belirtenlerle, üniversite giriş sınavına ilişkin kendini kaygılı hissedenlerin sınav kaygı düzeyleri diğer öğrencilerden daha yüksek çıkarken, başarılı olacakları konusunda kendine inanan öğrencilerin kaygı puanlarının ise daha düşük olduğu bulunmuştur. Ayrıca kardeş sayısı, kardeş sırası, özel ders alma durumu ve ders çalışmak için ayrı odaya sahip olma durumunun sınav kaygısına etkisinin olmadığı tespit edilmiştir.

This study examined how social opportunity structure influences identity exploration and commitment of Albanian high school students. A total of 258 students completed a questionnaire that gauged their identity exploration and commitment in three domains: education, occupation, and family. ANOVA results indicated that, overall, students scored highest in exploration in the domain of education and in commitment in the domain of family. Students' exploration and commitment were linked to gender. Albanian female students scored higher than male students in exploration and commitment regarding education and family. Perceived work opportunities in Albania or abroad also significantly moderated participants' exploration in the domain of education and were associated with commitment in education and occupation. As one of the first studies to explore Albanian youth's identity development in relation to social opportunity structure, findings are discussed in light of furthering the field of Albanian adolescent and youth development.

Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan soal matematika model TIMSS yang valid dan praktis untuk siswa SMP berdasarkan Kurikulum 2013. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian pengembangan. Proses pendesainan soal sebagai instrumen penilaian dilakukan dengan prototyping. Prototyping meliputi dua tahap. Prototipe I merupakan hasil desain dan penyusunan soal-soal oleh peneliti sendiri, sedang prototipe II revisi dari prototipe I berdasarkan masukan dari pakar, teman sejawat, dan guru matematika, yang berupa catatan validator dan notulensi diskusi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa buku soal yang disusun dengan pengelompokan bab mengikuti ranah materi seperti dalam TIMSS, yakni bilangan, geometri, aljabar, data dan peluang. Buku soal untuk siswa tidak perlu ada tulisan mengenai ranah materi, topik pokok, dan ranah kognitif. Masukan untuk perbaikan dari FGD adalah soal sebaiknya diawali dari yang mudah, sedang, baru yang sulit. Penulisan soal pilihan ganda lebih baik tidak menggunakan kalimat tanya, melainkan dengan membuat pernyataan yang memuat titik-titik, baik di tengah atau di akhir kalimat. Soal sebaiknya tidak memuat pernyataan implikasi. Kata kunci: Pengembangan soal, matematika SMP, TIMSS, Kurikulum 2013DEVELOPING THE TIMSS MATH PROBLEM MODEL TO SUPPORT THE MATHEMATICS LEARNING IN GRADE VII USING THE 2013 CURRICULUM Abstract: This study was aimed to produce a valid and practical TIMMS math problem model for junior high school students using the 2013 curriculum. The study used the research and development design. The design process of the problems as assessment instruments was carried out through prototyping involving two stages. Prototype I was the design product and the problem development done by the researchers themselves, while Prototype II was the revision of Prototype I based on the feedback provided by experts, colleagues, and Mathematics teachers in the form of validators’ notes and the minutes taken from discussions. The findings showed that the book of math problems was written by grouping the chapters following the materials domains as those in TIMSS, that is, numbers, geometry, algebra, data, and probability. For the student book, it was not nsecessary to write the materials domain, the essential topics, and the cognitive domain. The feedback from the FGD was that the problems should be arranged from the easiest ones to the most difficult ones. The multiple choice items should not be written in the form of questions, but in the form of incomplete sentences with the blanks in the middle or the end of the sentences. The items should not ask about implication. Keywords: Development of problems, junior high school mathematics, TIMSS, Curriculum 2013
