This research aimed to determine whether implementation of virtual technology or implementation of physical materials in a learning environment is more efficient in understanding physics concepts and developing positive attitudes at the high school level. The theory that framed this study is the model of learning as dynamic transfer. Participants were 96 ninth grade students (n = 96) distributed randomly to the virtual or physical group. Inquiry-based instruction continued during teaching of kinematics and dynamics, which lasted for eight weeks for both groups. Data from the Force and Motion Achievement Instrument (FMAI), student worksheets, the Attitude Towards Physics Scale (APCS), and anecdotal observations were collected. This study concluded that the use of physical and virtual manipulatives in inquiry-based instruction had the same effect on students’ conceptual and procedural knowledge, as well as their attitudes towards physics. However, students who dealt with physical experimentation had lower learning than their peers who experienced virtual experimentation due to measurement errors made by students. Furthermore, physical investigations left students with some irrelevant knowledge. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that implementing virtual manipulatives is more advantageous for learning in some conditions. The final conclusion is that attitude and learning may be developed in a parallel manner.

Project SOAR provided after-school programs that afforded expanded learning opportunities to help students succeed in local public schools and to contribute to the general welfare of the community. Program components focused on building students’ academic skills and positive attitudes, aided by teachers, mentors, parent education, and local agencies. Instructional programs were conducted to help reduce drug use and violence. Activities included academic assistance, technology training, mentoring, service learning projects, and education in life skills and the arts. Parent involvement was encouraged. Behavioral and academic outcomes—especially at the high school level—were analyzed to determine program effectiveness regarding academic achievement, dropout rates, and rates and frequency of suspensions. Successful program elements and strategies are noted.

Instruction Model

The purpose of this writing is to describe efforts to improve the quality of physics learning, especially the high school level by applying the Problem Based Instruction learning model. This writing is motivated by less optimal mastery of students on physics material and lack of interest in students to study physics. For this reason, there is a need for efforts to increase student learning motivation in studying physics, in order to be able to improve the quality of its learning outcomes by applying the Problem Based Instruction learning model. In the Problem Based Instruction learning model was developed to help students improve the ability to think, the problem of problems, and intellectual skills, and learn through learning experience in real life. The method used in this writing is with the literature study by reviewing several literature and analysis The results of writing show that the application of the Problem Based Instruction model can be a solution to the problems encountered in the teaching and learning process in the classroom. The problem based instruction model is applied to students in high school with several steps, among others: (1) Learning begins with the submission of material by teacher lectures and questions and answers, (2) The teacher suggests the issue of the material being discussed in everyday life, and students are given individual assignments to solve the problem and design their follow-up, (3) the teacher forms a group, (4) the answer to the assignment was asked to be discussed first with his group friend.

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 social norms media approach is an intervention designed to change college students’ drinking behavior by correcting false perceptions through normative feedback. The present study is a preliminary assessment of a social norms intervention’s attempt to decrease drinking amounts in students making the transition to university life. Data were collected on three groups of first-year students: (a) spring 1999 for baseline freshmen drinking norms, (b) summer 1999 to assess incoming freshmen drinking patterns, and (c) spring 2000 as a follow-up to assess effectiveness of the intervention for freshmen who entered fall 1999. Results indicated that the majority of freshmen students consistently drank in a moderate range (0–5 drinks), yet consistently overestimated their peers’ drinking levels. Incoming freshmen had significantly higher levels of drinking and greater misperceptions than baseline university freshmen. Results suggest the drinking rates significantly decreased for incoming freshmen from summer 1999 compared to spring 2000 follow-up norms. Also, the results suggest that normative feedback on college students’ drinking may be needed at the high school level to correct faulty perceptions prior to entering a university environment.
