This study investigated the implementation of senior high school students’ self-regulation in facing the high-stake university admission test. The researchers examined the factors that constitute senior high school students to be self-regulated learners and how the students implemented self- regulation in achieving their goals as well as entering a university. To obtain the data, the researchers conducted the study in a public one senior high school in Klaten, Indonesia using mix methods of qualitative and quantitative research. The researchers gained the data by interviewing 12 third grades of senior high school students and asking them to answer questionnaires. The researchers presented the data using narrative inquiry statements. The result showed that all participants did self-regulation learning in order to achieve their goals to enroll study at a famous and reputable university in Indonesia such as ITB, UGM, UNS, STAN and Politekes. To be self-regulated learners, the participants had implemented 4 conditioned phases such as forethought and planning, monitoring, controlling and reflecting phase.

Some private universities in Jakarta use TOEFL or TOEFL-like test as the admission requirement for new students.  Therefore, students’ candidates should prepare well to achieve the minimum score for being admitted. Unfortunately, their high school did not give enough training in doing the TOEFL test. The purpose of this community development program is to train high school students to do TOEFL test, especially the Reading section.  The participants of the program were seven 12th grade high school students who were included in ASAK Paroki MKK community.  They were trying to qualify for admission in Binus University.  The program was created in the form of classroom teaching and individual assignment.  In this program, we taught them about the TOEFL Reading test types, strategies and tips for doing the test.  After the training, the students reported their understanding of TOEFL and confidence in preparing the university admission test.

School evaluative processes are motivators for several discussions in pedagogical environments, so that, if evaluations are poorly constructed and decontextualized, they imply learning processes and school permanence. In this sense, the present study aims to relate the performance obtained by high school students, during the four academic terms of the year 2014, with the contents taught during each of these two months, in order to promote useful discussions to the pedagogical environment. We present a reflection on the structural mechanisms of exclusion and dropout, and also on the evaluation processes in the discipline of chemistry, in high school classes. We emphasize that it is necessary to employ pedagogical practices aimed at the plurality and democratization of knowledge, with classes that include qualitative methods of assessment, and linked to the context of students, based on training for the promotion of autonomy.

Academic potential test (TPA, GRE) is one of the test items used for selection, both for university admission and employee recruitment in various agencies. One group of people who are very likely to take TPA is high school students. Since TPA is not included in the final national examination (UAN), high school students pay less attention to their mastery of the TPA. In order to help them, coaching is needed to be done to provide understanding and mastery in solving TPA question effectively. The participation of teachers in this training is intended to sustain the results of the activities as they will be able to foster students of the next generation. The training was held at PGRI Inderalaya High School. There are 29 participants consisting of 7 teachers and 22 students of Class 12. Participants were guided to recognize, understand, and analyze each form of questions. Then the method of solving problems effectively is discussed. The types of questions that are discussed are verbal, series, logic, and images. Based on the pretest and posttest with the same questions, it was significantly concluded that participants were able to absorb the training material and use it at the posttest.

This paper describes and problematizes the pedagogical practices developed by a trainee in initial formation with three first grade high school classes in a public school in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, in the second semester of 2017. This is a qualitative exploratory study based on documentary sources (the report produced at the end of this formative period). In this article, the focus is on classroom activities that have as a reference the methodological approach called problem-based learning, as well as the assessment and self-assessment activities that were proposed by the teacher and performed by high school students. The teacher information centrally addressed some conceptual content related to Inorganic Chemistry with the adoption of the theme "pollution" as a way to try to connect the discussions held with the students' daily life. The systematized results which were discussed in this article indicate that important elements of learning about the teaching work were constituted favoring the effective development of the intern that was investigated. The latter was able to take a safe position on his work which includes, especially, evaluation processes that unveiled factors concerning student learning and the methodological choices adopted in the process.

The online learning environment is an integral part of activities conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic in schools. This study explored the Malaysian high school students’ online learning perspectives using a mixed-methods study. The quantitative findings reported that students are not ready to go online. The qualitative analysis revealed several emerging themes related to students’ dissatisfaction with the online learning environment. The issues are related to repository-based teaching, cognitive overload, social presence, technology comfort, and discipline. Students suggested that teachers should implement the use of standardised applications, fixed schedules, and interactive sessions. The study concluded that interactions are lacking during the online learning environment. However, the researcher hopes that once teachers are back from the COVID-19 pandemic, they will have a comprehensive understanding of technology tools to consider in their pedagogical practices. It is hoped that the post-pandemic will change the way schools and teachers perceive online learning. The sudden teaching practices during the COVID-19 pandemic will undoubtedly drive improvements in the use of technology in schools.
