In a three-year study, female students from all-female computer science (CS) classes were compared to male and female students from mixed-gender CS classes. Participants were 250 students enrolled in an elective Grade 11 CS course (63 females from three all-female classes and 155 males and 32 females from nine mixed-gender classes). Participants completed a questionnaire assessing perceived support from teachers and parents, computer-related attitudes, and future academic and occupational intentions. Females from all-female classes reported higher levels of perceived teacher support, confidence, and future academic and occupational intentions than did females from mixed-gender classes. Females from all-female classes reported levels as high as those reported by males on perceived teacher support, whereas males reported higher levels than did females from mixed-gender classes on perceived teacher support, confidence, intrinsic value, and future intentions. The present study provides some initial empirical evidence supporting the positive effects of all-female classes in CS at the high school level.

The aim of this study is to search core exercise’s affect which is done regulary with female students for 8 weeks on students’ balance programs. 20 volunteer female participants who were students of Osman Nuri Yalman High school (ten of them were experimental group and ten of them were control group) were included in the study. In the survey, experimental method with pretest-posttest desing was used. Core exercise was applied on experimental group three days a week during 8 weeks on the other hand no exercise was done with control group. SPSS (Ver.20) packet program was used while analyzing data statistically. Before the analysis, normality distribution was determined by being used skewness-kurtosis and hitogram and significance level was controlled according to the greenhouse-geisser and two-way repeated measures of anova values. According to the results of the survey, significant difference was found between two groups’ pre-test–post-test balance values (F(2.69, 48.36) = 42.25, p < .05). The post-test balance values of the group in 8 directions increased significantly. When the pos-test balance values between the two groups were compared, the post- test balance values of the experimantal group participants were significantly higher than the control group participants (F(1.18) = 6.20, p < .05). Consequently; it can be said that core training applied to the high school level female students three days a week for 8 weeks can have a positive effect on balance performance.

Solving problems by reduction is an important issue in mathematics and science education in general (both in high school and in college or university) and particularly in computer science education. Developing reductive thinking patterns is an important goal in any scientific discipline, yet reduction is not an easy subject to cope with. Still, the use of reduction usually is insufficiently reflected in high school mathematics and science programs. Even in academic computer science programs the concept of reduction is mentioned explicitly only in advanced academic courses such as computability and complexity theory. However, reduction can be applied in other courses as well, even on the high school level. Specifically, in the field of computational models, reduction is an important method for solving design and proof problems. This study focuses on high school students studying the unit “computational models”—a unique unit, which is part of the new Israeli computer science high school curriculum. We examined whether high school students tend to solve problems dealing with computational models reductively, and if they do, what is the nature of their reductive solutions. To the best of our knowledge, the tendency to reductive thinking in theoretical computer science has not been studied before. Our findings show that even though many students use reduction, many others prefer non-reductive solutions, even when reduction can significantly decrease the technical complexity of the solution. We discuss these findings and suggest possible ways to improve reductive thinking.

Higher education is one of the stakeholders which have a role in preparing quality productive age through Tri Dharma. The success of preparing a generation at the senior high school level will be able to support Indonesia's success in 2030. It is expected that with age, energy and great enthusiasm it will become a big capital for the country's development. The purpose of this activity is to encourage the growth of student awareness in planning further education or career as a description of future life plans and to increase knowledge about the insights of female students related to education and the health professionals especially in complex hospitals. The method in implementing this activity is by counseling, discussion and question and answer. The activity was held on Friday, 11 August 2017 at 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. WIB at SMA (Senior High School) 2 Wates in Kulon Progo Yogyakarta. The introduction of education and the profession of the health workforce in the form of explanatory counseling was attended by 131 students of SMA N 2 Wates who were students of class XII majoring in Science and Social Sciences at SMA N 2 Wates. This activity took place by involving several parties, namely the lecturer and student team of Medical Record Study Program, headmaster and counseling teacher (BK) as well as class XII students at SMA N 2 Wates in Kulon Progo. The participants took part in the activity well, actively and enthusiastically.

Este artigo investiga a configuração do currículo no curso de formação de professores em nível médio, em uma escola pública estadual. Os dados foram coletados em 2010, 2011 e 2012, por meio de questionários e entrevistas, com 52 jovens. A partir dos depoimentos, foi possível identificar as expectativas em relação à ampliação dos estudos, a introdução no mundo do trabalho, a cultura escolar vivenciada e as lacunas e impasses desse processo de formação. O texto dialoga com o contexto do ensino médio modalidade normal, com as políticas de formação docente, situando a realidade específica da instituição. Evidencia o divórcioentre a formação oferecida ao futuro professor da Educação Básica e as necessidades de profissionalização da carreira docente, em que seja conferido aos egressos o propalado protagonismo no exercício da profissão, onde os trabalhos sejam pensados em contextos sócio/político/econômico/cultural em que acontecem.Palavras-chave: currículo; ensino médio; formação de professores, trabalho docente.

As a form of diversified processed fish meat, tuna meatball is very popular to people in Ambon. This type of food is sold by traders from Java by walking or cycling. Difficulties living in the origin area require traders to leave their families and go out looking for jobs in other areas with hopes that the family needs are met. The purpose of this research is to analyze (1). Characteristics of mobile tuna meatball traders in Ambon, (2). The amount of income received by mobile tuna meatball traders in Ambon, and (3). Percentage income utilized by the mobile tuna meatball traders either in family or personal needs. The study was conducted by survey and data obtained through interviews and observations from May to October 2018. The results show that the average age of meatball traders was between <25-65 yo, having education in junior and senior high school level, with the highest number of dependants 1-2 people and <5 years trading experience. The average income of tuna fish meatball traders is Rp. 4,747,231, - which is used for personal and family needs. Seven  traders use more than 50% for family needs and the rest for personal needs, while six traders utilize more than 60 % for personal needs and the rest for family needs.
