ScienceIES is a distinctive way to teach Astronomy and other scientific disciplines, focusing in high-school students (age 15-17). ScienceIES is the name of the project started in 2010 at regional level in Andalucía (south Spain) pulling together the educational and scientific systems with students in the target. Some of the Astronomy projects are based on the use of robotic telescopes, such as the ones of the BOOTES worldwide network. Some of the projects are presented here.

We organized the Leonids observing network that comprised of 276 observation teams consisting of about 3,000 senior high-school students in Japan on Nov. 17 1998. We counted the visible meteors with our naked eyes. It was a simple method, but the many data enabled us to discuss the structure of the dust trail. However, the base-line is so short that we could not discuss the structure in full detail. In 1999, we organized a worldwide network of senior high-school students. The network is comprised of 307 teams from 23 countries. The base-line of our new project is the size of the Earth. We succeeded in making 20 hours continuous observations with this network. One of the observational teams in Tanzania encountered the Leonid meteor storm. We report on the scientific results and the educational aspects of these projects.

The current study aimed to identify the relationship between brain domain and professional tendencies in high school students in Taif governorate, if there are differences between individuals in professional tendencies based on brain domain and is there a difference in the order of professional tendencies of students with left- handed sovereignty of the brain and students with right- handed sovereignty for the brain and if there are differences in the professional tendencies of the study sample due to the specialization and differences in the dominant side of the brain in the sample of the study depending on the variable of specialization. To achieve the objectives of the study, the descriptive curriculum was followed and the sample consisted of 97 high school students. The researcher used the brain range (Torrance, 1988: rationing Murad, 1994) and the Professional tendencies Scale (Preparation of Ayad, 2011). The results of the study showed no correlation between brain domain and professional tendencies in high school students, as well as no statistically significant differences in the professional tendencies based on brain domain. There are also no statistically significant differences in the professional tendencies due to the variable specialization, and the left pattern is prevalent among students of scientific disciplines, while the integrated pattern is the dominant pattern among students of literary disciplines, and the descending order of the students with left- handed sovereignty differs from the brain and students with right- handed sovereignty of the brain. And In light of the results, the researcher recommends giving students a variety of tasks that help them use both sides of the brain more. And support the curriculum with activities that address the two hemispheres of the brain. And the use of the integrative learning model or the integrated educational model in the educational environment to achieve integration between the two hemispheres of the brain. And training teachers to employ different strategies to develop both sides of the brain, in proportion to the different learning and thinking styles of students.

A modification of the Paired-Stimuli Parent Program (Florance, 1977) was adapted for the treatment of articulatory errors of visually handicapped children. Blind high school students served as clinical aides. A discussion of treatment methodology, and the results of administrating the program to 32 children, including a two-year follow-up evaluation to measure permanence of behavior change, is presented.

Summary: This article describes a triarchic analysis of an aptitude-treatment interaction in a college-level introductory-psychology course given to selected high-school students. Of the 326 total participants, 199 were selected to be high in analytical, creative, or practical abilities, or in all three abilities, or in none of the three abilities. The selected students were placed in a course that either well matched or did not match their pattern of analytical, creative, and practical abilities. All students were assessed for memory, analytical, creative, and practical achievement. The data showed an aptitude-treatment interaction between students' varied ability patterns and the match or mismatch of these abilities to the different instructional groups.

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.

Abstract. This study investigated the effects of politicians’ nonparticipatory and participatory Facebook posts on young people’s political efficacy – a key determinant of political participation. We employed an experimental design, using a sample of N = 125 high school students (15–20 years). Participants either saw a Facebook profile with no posts (control condition), nonparticipatory posts, or participatory posts. While nonparticipatory posts did not affect participants’ political efficacy, participatory posts exerted distinct effects. For those high in trait evaluations of the politician presented in the stimulus material or low in political cynicism, we found significant positive effects on external and collective efficacy. By contrast, for those low in trait evaluations or high in cynicism, we found significant negative effects on external and collective efficacy. We did not find any effects on internal efficacy. The importance of content-specific factors and individual predispositions in assessing the influence of social media use on participation is discussed.
