The aim of this study was to determine the effects of a peer oriented drug education program on the knowledge, attitudes and drug use of high school students. A study was conducted with students in grade 9 in two Ontario schools, with one group receiving six periods of drug education and the control school none at all. The peer-oriented program led to more knowledge about drugs, but no differences in the use of drugs or in attitudes. It is concluded that some education programs, including the one tested here can increase knowledge without affecting attitudes.

Change Effect

The effects of expert speakers in producing change in drug attitudes, opinions and knowledge of high school students were evaluated with a quasi-field experiment. Three different treatment groups (expertise areas) and a control group were employed. The results indicate that such programs have no change effect. Additional analysis explored change by student type, using the latent class analysis suggested by Lazarsfeld. There is evidence that one class type is susceptible to change, but that the change is minimal given this type of program.

Discipline in class is essential. Without it the educational processes and teachings are difficult. In this manner curricula goals are almost impossible to achieve. There are and there always will be some kind of conflicts between teachers and students, but they should not evolve to become a problem. Teachers (especially elderly teachers) often express pessimism of contemporary students. They say that today's students have less knowledge, they do misbehave more often than previous generations. A study among students was conducted. It was trying to determine the rate of discipline in schools in Celje to see if these statements are true. The questionnaire to students of one primary and one high school in Celje, Slovenia were distributed. The answers from 234 students were received. On the one hand, it was found out that senior high school students have the worst level of discipline of all the grades tested. They themselves assess their class atmosphere as less disciplined. They report that teachers use a lot of time to calm the class down. All this is probably a factor in lower average grade that the senior high school students have. On the other hand, it was found out that teachers do not react to the disturbance or they are trying to be repressive. These are not the correct ways of dealing with discipline issues. Therefore, there are some recommended ways how teachers should react. Keywords: discipline in class, primary school, contemporary student, elderly teachers.

Low Rate

Moroccan high school students find major difficulties in understanding the concepts related to electricity. The problem lies not only in the knowledge itself but also in the teaching practices. Even worse, in the Moroccan educational system, the lack of experimental activities and the low rate of integration of educational technologies hinder an effective teaching of these concepts. Indeed, the lack of these experimental activities is the main cause of the introduction of the erroneous conceptions. This lack can be remedied through simulation. The simulation is the one-off solution for the phenomena invisible to the human eye. In this chapter, the authors review the literature of the main pedagogical approaches used to facilitate the acquisition of phenomena of electricity and specially the historical investigation approach based on collaborative learning. Also, they highlight the added value of the combination of the investigation and simulation of phenomena of electricity.

ABSTRACT Background Many high school students do not consume the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables. Objective This study evaluated student outcomes from a new nutrition curriculum that includes messages from the 2015–2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans with a teacher training component for high school Family and Consumer Sciences (FACS) teachers. Methods A cluster-randomized controlled study was conducted with 1104 students in FACS classes from 35 schools, taught by teachers trained in implementing a new curriculum (intervention) and teachers using their usual curricula (control). Students completed online surveys at the beginning and end of the semester, that is, pre- and postexposure to the nutrition curricula. Intention-to-treat analyses as hierarchical linear modeling were performed to determine if the intervention students had significant changes compared with the control students for knowledge of nutrition concepts, familiarity of, preferences for, affinity toward, number of times trying new, and daily times eating fruits and vegetables. Per-protocol analyses used the same hierarchical linear model but instead of control and intervention groups, students were split into 3 levels describing the amount of the new curriculum they received (0%, 1–50%, and 51–100%). Results Students exposed to 51–100% of the new curriculum tried more fruits and vegetables than both the control students and the students that received 1–50% of the curriculum (P = 0.009 for fruits and P = 0.002 for vegetables). Additionally, there were higher increases in the number of times intervention students tried a new fruit (P = 0.027) and vegetable (P = 0.022) compared with the control students, regardless of the amount of curriculum received. Conclusions Our findings show that the curriculum, Forecasting Your Future: Nutrition Matters, has promise for increasing exposure to new fruits and vegetables for students. If teachers use most of the curriculum, students are likely to try more new fruit and vegetables, which could ultimately contribute to improved health.

This study reviews the current situation and problems in disaster management education in schools in Japan, proposes systematic programs for elementary and junior high school students, and the proposed programs are verified and evaluated in different schools. The programs aim to educate the students of the correct knowledge on various natural disasters and enhance their capacities to forecast and avoid the risks on their own initiatives.The programs have an advantage that it can be implemented by teachers who can practice disaster management education in the ordinary learning process for elementary and junior high school students in schools; disaster management specialists are not needed for its implementation.Prior to the development of the programs, an awareness survey was conducted to both elementary and junior high school students and teachers regarding their level of “consciousness of the crisis of school safety caused by natural disasters, among others.” The results of the survey revealed that “the disaster management education based on earthquake disaster is effective for students and teachers as a starting point of the learning, since they have already experienced an earthquake and a disaster drill targeting earthquake in their lives.” Thus, the proposed education programs have been designed that earthquake and other natural hazards disaster management education are practiced not separately but jointly to foster children’s “zest for life” at a time of natural disasters. The proposed two programs correspond to earthquake and tornado, and each program consists of three parts. The teaching materials, such as the proposed guidance and worksheet, have been prepared using editable files to allow teachers to edit the content by themselves.A survey method based on the ADDIE process of instructional design is adopted. In the ADDIE process, effectiveness of the proposed education programs is measured through the students’ self-assessment on the extent to which the programs’ learning objectives have been attained. Consequently, the proposed programs are evaluated by measuring the degree of attainment several times: before, during, and after the implementations. As a result of the evaluation, the earthquake and tornado disaster management education programs proved to be highly effective for education. Findings also proved that the knowledge acquired and capabilities improved through the proposed programs can be maintained by repeating the practice of the programs.In carrying out this study, cooperation with disaster prevention organizations and educational institutions was indispensable. To further realize such cooperation, this study proposes that the specific educational institutions, Prefectural Board of Education, Municipal Board of Education, and model schools that are willing to implement the programs must cooperate with one another.

[Id]Sulitnya mencari dan menghafalkan rumus matematika dan fisika menjadi kendala bagi sebagian pelajar SMA terutama dalam menjawab soal yang ada. Dibutuhkan ketelitian untuk menentukan apa saja yang tercantum dalam soal tersebut. Penelitian ini meneliti bagaimana cara melakukan pendeteksian kata kunci yang terdapat pada soal matematika dan fisika sekaligus dicocokkan dengan menggunakan metode pencocokan kata. Algoritma yang digunakan untuk melakukan pencocokan kata adalah algoritma Boyer-Moore. Setiap data kata kunci yang ada di basis data akan diambil berdasarkan fisika atau matematika, kemudian dipecah per kata. Setelah data kata kunci sudah dipecah menjadi per kata, tiap kata kunci akan melakukan pencocokkan ke soal yang dimasukkan pengguna dengan metode pencocokkan kata. Setelah dicocokkan dan hasil pencocokkan berhasil, aplikasi akan menampilkan daftar rumus yang memiliki kata kunci cocok dengan yang ada di soal. Pengujian metode pencocokan kata dengan algoritma Boyer-Moore pada soal matematika dan fisika yang sebanyak 30 kali membuktikan bawah aplikasi dapat menampilkan daftar rumus yang sesuai dalam melakukan pencocokkan pola kata kunci di soal baik matematika maupun fisika tingkat SMA.Kata kunci :Pencocokan Kata Kunci, Boyer-Moore, Rumus, Matematika, Fisika[en]Difficult to find and memorize math and physics becomes an obstacle for the majority of high school students, especially in answering the questions that exist. It takes precision to determine what is stated in the question. This study investigated how to make the detection of keywords contained in the math and physics as well matched using string matching method. The algorithm used to perform string matching algorithm is the Boyer-Moore. Each keyword data in the database will be taken based on the physics or mathematics, then broken down per word. Once the data has been broken down into key words per word, every keyword will perform matching to the matter that the user entered with a string matching method. Once matched and the matching result is successful, the application will display a list of formulas that have keywords match the one in question. Testing method of string matching algorithms Boyer-Moore in math and physics as much as 30 times to prove under the application can display a list of the appropriate formula in performing the pattern matching keywords in a matter of both mathematics and physics high school level.Keywords : String Matching, Boyer-Moore, Formula, Math, Physics.
