This study was intended to display the role of eco-school program (Adiwiyata) and non-adiwiyata schools towards EL of junior high school students by analyzing EL of students in Ponorogo. The research was conducted in March-October. The survey involved 379 students. The type of research is ex post facto. The assessment used the Middle School Environmental Literacy Survey (MSELS). The results show that the adiwiyata program is related to the increase of EL with the sig value. 0.000. The higher the adiwiyata level, the higher the EL value of the environment. However, the general EL assessment in Ponorogo is still low, that more than 51% of respondents did not reach the score at level 3, which is the standard level of EL. The EL ability of junior high school students between male and female sex is different, with the sig value. 0.004. All data analysis concluded that the level of students' EL was significantly influenced by school type and gender.

This paper aimed to present a survey result of the thickness of the shoe sole among junior high school students in Greater Jakarta, Indonesia. A number of 160 samples of the shoe wearing by junior high school students (85 boys and 65 girls) from Grade 7-Grade 9 was measured. The thickness of the sole of the shoe wearing by them were measured. The results were presented in mean and SD for each grade and gender. T-test results showed that no significant differences were found for thickness of the sole of the shoe wearing by boys and girls within the same grade. Anova test results also revealed that no significant differences were found for thickness of the sole of the shoe among boys in Grade 7-9 (F=0.54, p=0.58) and girls (F=1.06, p=0.35). Findings in this study revealed that a 20mm shoe correction, as often used by many researchers, which is added to the popliteal height to dimension the seat height (SH) is appropriate to be used for population under study. The results of this study provided sufficient justification for the use of a 2 cm shoe correction (SC) in addition to popliteal height when determining seat height of the chair.

This study investigated junior high school students’ length estimation ability with respect to everyday objects with lengths between 1 millimetre and 1 meter. Students’ strategies used for estimating the length of the longer side of a basketball court in school were analysed. A total of 240 Grade 7-9 students from cities in northern Taiwan completed a paper-and-pencil test assessing length estimation abilities. Results showed a significant gender effect on length estimation, but neither effects of grade level nor any interaction between grade level and gender on length estimation. About 40% of the students used effective strategies for estimating length measures, including visualizing, utilizing body parts, applying previous experiences, using a mental ruler, and making use of objects nearby. Still, about 60% of the students used ineffective strategies such as guessing. Implications for research and education practices are discussed.
