ResumoNo Ensino Médio, é fácil observar os alunos desmotivados. Os fatores para tal são vários, porém, no contexto educacional, podemos citar os conteúdos curriculares descontextualizados e a falta de “diálogo” entre as disciplinas escolares. Esta realidade atinge diretamente a compreensão e a aprendizagem dos adolescentes, visto que estes não relacionam as ciências ao contexto histórico, gerando conceitos e concepções errôneas no que tange o espaço-tempo e as descobertas científicas. Neste trabalho buscou-se promover uma relação mais tênue entre Ciências: Química e a História: Dinastia Tudor, para compreensão das descobertas químicas e alquímicas desenvolvidos neste período tão importante da Idade Moderna. Esse entrelaçar das disciplinas visou promover para os alunos do Ensino Médio uma maior valorização deste momento histórico e para os universitários visou envolvê-los na evolução da descoberta das ciências e da Química. A História da Ciência se pautou no viés da epistemologia, historiografia e ciências e sociedade e buscou-se um diálogo interdisciplinar em prol de um conhecimento mais consolidado e significativo. Observou-se ao final da execução deste trabalho que a busca literária foi difícil, pois as fontes primárias e secundárias focam-se muito no contexto histórico ou no científico, não fazendo uma interface entre ambos, e no que concernem as discussões em sala de aula desta temática com as mídias cinematográficas observou-se grande participação dos alunos e maior entendimento da importância das descobertas científicas desta Dinastia, uma vez que algumas perduram até os dias atuais, porém acredita-se que deveria ter mais tempo pra explorar essa interação entre as áreas.Palavras-chave: Dinastia; Ciências; Mídias.AbstractIn high school, it is easy to observe students with no motivation. The factors for this are several, however, in the educational context, we can mention the decontextualized curricular contents and the lack of “dialogue” between school subjects. This reality directly affects the understanding and learning of adolescents, since they do not relate science to the historical context, generating misconceptions and concepts regarding space-time and scientific discoveries. In this work we sought to promote a more tenuous relationship between Sciences: Chemistry and History: Tudor Dynasty, to understand the chemical and alchemical discoveries developed in this very important period of the Modern Age. This intertwining of the disciplines aimed to promote for High School students a greater appreciation of this historical moment and for university students it aimed to involve them in the evolution of the discovery of science and Chemistry. The History of Science was guided by the epistemology, historiography and sciences and society bias and an interdisciplinary dialogue was sought in favor of a more consolidated and meaningful knowledge. It was observed at the end of the execution of this work that the literary search was difficult, since the primary and secondary sources focus a lot on the historical or scientific context, not making an interface between both, and with regard to the discussions in the classroom of this theme with the cinematographic media there was a great participation of the students and a greater understanding of the importance of the scientific discoveries of this Dynasty, since some persist until the present days, however it is believed that there should be more time to explore this interaction between the areas. Keywords: Dynasty; Sciences; Media.

This study first approaches the history of the observer’s gaze, that is, as observers, we are forming or constructing our way of visualizing moving images. Secondly, it reaffirms the importance and need of resistance of the teaching / learning of Art as a compulsory curricular component for high school. Finally, the third part reports an experience with video art production in a class of first year high school students, establishing an interrelationship between theory and practice, that is, we study video art content to reach the production of videos, aiming as a final result, the art videos created by the students of the Reference Center in Environmental Education Forest School Prof. Eidorfe Moreira High School. The first and second stages of this research share a theoretical part of the Master ‘s thesis, Making films on the Island: audiovisual production as an escape line in Cotijuba, periphery of Belem, completed in 2013.

Adolescents’ academic performance and the way it is related to their subjective wellbeing are issues of great interest across educational systems. The purpose of this study was to ascertain how satisfaction with high school subjects can predict school satisfaction and academic performance in Mexican students. The sample consisted of 457 high school students in the Baja California and Nuevo León states in Mexico (247 boys, 210 girls); their mean age being 14.10 (SD = 0.84). We used a questionnaire featuring a subject satisfaction scale, an intrinsic school satisfaction scale, and one related to academic grades. We used descriptive analyses, correlations, and structural regression models. In terms of results, the high satisfaction and academic performance levels in physical education, Spanish and English are worth highlighting. Geography and history are the most relevant predictors of academic grades, while Spanish predicts school satisfaction and physical education predicts boredom. In conclusion, satisfaction with mathematics, Spanish, and English are strong predictors of satisfaction (SATF), and the latter in turn predicts Mexican high school students’ academic performance.

National assessments of U.S. high school students' writing and other verbal abilities do not show that literacy has declined substantially in recent years. In fact, scores have been relatively stable since the 1980s. The proportion of students with solid writing and reading abilities has held fairly steady but remained small during the past 25 years. During this period, however, the proportion of high school graduates who enter higher education has soared. Thus, more students with weak verbal abilities now enter college. Initiatives that encourage people to continue their education have succeeded, whereas initiatives to improve writing, reading, and reasoning abilities have not. The complex causes of entering college students' weak verbal abilities include social and cultural forces as well as decisions by educational institutions. By understanding the complicated history of this issue and reframing it in positive terms, business and technical communication faculty can help effect change.

The Eighteenth Annual Meeting of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics was held at the Palmer House, Chicago, Illinois, February 19–20, 1937. It was the largest meeting in the history of our organization, 836 registered and more than a thousand were in attendance. The Board of Directors met in two sessions and conducted the necessary business for the ensuing year. A trip was made to the Adler Planetarium and a lecture in the Planetarium was enjoyed on the subject, “The Determination of Time and Place.” At 8:00 p.m. the first General Meeting was called to order by President Martha Hildebrandt in the Grand Ball Room of the Palmer House. The Address of Welcome was made by James E. McDade, Assistant Superintendent of Schools, Chicago, Illinois, and the response by Mrs. Florence Brooks Miller, First Vice-President, Shaker Heights, Ohio. Secretary Schreiber made the opening announcements. Professor Albert A. Bennett of Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island addressed the group on the topic “Mathematics and Life.” This was followed by a series of projects in high school mathematics reported by some twenty high school students from Hyde Park High School, Chicago, Illinois, under the direction of Miss Beulah I. Shoesmith. This feature of the program was much appreciated by the audience of some seven hundred teachers.

SYNOPSISA variety of sociocultural, familial and individual features associated with the eating disorders were examined in subjects with full syndrome (FS) and partial syndrome (PS) eating disorders and in normal high school students. The EAT-26 was administered to 995 high school students. This was followed by individual interviews with those who scored in the symptomatic range. Fifty-one students with PS eating disorders, 57 students without eating disorders (normal controls) and 30 hospital patients with FS, anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa were compared on subscales of the Eating Disorder Inventory, the Diagnostic Survey for Eating Disorders and the Beck Depression Inventory. The three groups displayed statistically significant differences on dimensions of EDI subscales Ineffectiveness and Interoceptive Awareness and also with respect to depression, history of being overweight and past history of emotional problems, as well as having mothers with medical illnesses. On these characteristics, the FS subjects displayed higher levels than the PS subjects, who in turn were higher than the NC subjects. The PS subjects displayed elevations on Body Dissatisfaction (EDI subscale), past medical illnesses, and mother's over-concern with eating and weight. These data support a continuum model of the eating disorders, but a continuum of multiple associated features rather than of dieting.

ObjectiveTo examine the association between concussion history and suicidal behaviors in adolescents from the 2017 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS).BackgroundResearch indicates that behavioral changes such as impulsivity and lack of emotional control are common following youth concussion. Additional evidence suggests that poor behavioral regulation may contribute to altered mood states that precede possible self-injury or fatality. To date, the relation between adolescent concussion and suicidal behaviors has not been explored on a national scale.Design/MethodsData from 14,765 high school students were cross-sectionally analyzed. Weighted multivariate logistic regressions were conducted to estimate adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of suicidal behaviors in students with and without a history of concussion. Age, sex, and alcohol use were controlled for in the regression model.ResultsAdolscents with history of concussion were at greater odds of reporting suicidal ideation (AOR = 1.39, CI 1.16, 1.65), suicide planning (AOR = 1.34, CI 1.14, 1.57), suicidal attempts (AOR = 1.68, CI 1.36, 2.09), and injurious suicidal attempts (AOR = 2.42, CI 1.82, 3.22). In addition, females with a history of concussion demonstrated greater odds of reporting poor mental health than males with history of concussion (p’s < 0.05). Further, history of concussion among individuals aged 16 years or older was significantly associated with increased suicidal behaviors, whereas this association was not observed in younger adolescents (p’s < 0.05).ConclusionsOur findings indicate that adolescents who sustain a concussion have greater odds of suicidality than their uninjured counterparts. Further, suicidality was better predicted by concussion exposure in females than males, and in older students. Consequently, these results indicate the importance of examining mental health following youth concussion, and highlight the need for further longitudinal research.

Background: Pre-diabetes is a stage prior to diabetes mellitus (DM) and many studies in west countries found the risk factors of diabetes were mostly related to the nutri onal status of being overweight and obese. Dia- betes mellitus is not only experienced by adults but also by teenagers. They have the poten al for pre-diabetes because they may have unhealthy lifestyles such as smoking, consuming alcohol, high-calories, and junk foods and lack of physical ac vity. This study aims to determine the risk factors of pre-diabetes among senior high school students in Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Methods: This study was a qualita ve study using a ques onnaire as an instrument for data collec on. It consists of a set of ques ons on diabetes risk. This research conducted in four public senior high schools in Palangka Raya with the total sample was 131 respondents have par cipated in this research. Results: 25 respondents (19.1%) from a total sample of 131 par cipants suffered from pre-diabetes and 30.5% of respondents had a family with DM. Some students (6.9%) had a smoking habit and 13% incidence of pre- diabetes in high school students related to these factors (R2: 0.13). Only less than half of the total respondents (43.5%) had a normal BMI. As many as 39.7% of respondents were undernourished while the rest were over- weight. Conclusion: Pre-diabetes factors on teenagers in Palangka Raya are female dominate had a history of DM, and being overweight. This study further leads to the importance of weight control that focusing on physical ac vity and dietary management as early precau ons. Health educa on is required to suppress the number of risk fac- tors for diabetes.

Language is an instrument of communication and thinking. During the development of the scientific disciplines, a separate system of language called scientific language has been formed; language of Physics is also formed and plays an important role in the history of Physics. In the context of Vietnamese mountainous students, fostering scientific language in general and Physic language in particular is very necessary; it contributes to the academic success of students by researching documents on fostering language in scientific context, coordinated with characteristics about language and communication of students in mountainous areas in Vietnam. The article introduces 4 principles to learn the language of Physics and an example of planning lessons in teaching Physics to support students in mountainous areas in Vietnam.

AbstractThe history of Otto Stern’s pioneering measurement of the Maxwell-Boltzmann velocity distribution of a Silver atomic beam performed 1919 in Frankfurt is described. It is shown how Albert Einstein influenced Stern in his research. This experimental apparatus is not any more existing; therefore it was reconstructed in the workshops of the Physics faculty of the Goethe University in Frankfurt. The experimental verification of Stern’s results was finally achieved by a team of Frankfurt high school students (Gymnasium Riedberg) under the supervision of their teachers Axel Gruppe and Simon Cerny. By fighting against a number of difficulties, they succeeded to get the reconstructed apparatus started and were able to reproduce the results from the early experiments of Stern.
