The purpose of this study is to find out the contribution of games in improving grammar acquisition of the Yoannes Junior High School students. In teaching Grammar, teachers should apply the appropriate technique and method. In this study, games are chosen to be used.  Participants are divided into treatment group, the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group is taught by using games and the control group is taught by using the memorizing method. Each group is assigned to do the same test, containing sections which involved grammar items. They attended the course, once a week for eight weeks. Each meeting lasted forty five minutes. The material is taken from textbook that applied at school. Pre- test is given before the experiment and post- test is held immediately after the experiment is over. The Null hypothesis of no significant differences are constructed and tested, and then one- tailed T- test is used to compare the score of the games and memorizing groups and to analyze the hypothesis. The alpha level is set. Teaching the arbitrary rules of grammar to students who cannot speak, understand of use the English language is an absolute waste of time, effort and money and is downright foolish. The practice is about as rational as teaching advanced race car skid control to someone who does not know how to drive. In English conversation, get them talking, get them comfortable using the language, then teach them by using rules of grammar once they understand the language.

The Difference

The misconception of the Solar System topic is still found in students so that it becomes one of the obstacles in the learning process. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of Predict-Observe-Explain-Apply (POEA) learning to change the junior high school students' conception in the Solar System topic. Quasi-experimental research with the non-equivalent control group design was conducted in one of the private junior high schools in Bandung city. Samples were selected based on the test of the average significance of the pretest score of the population. Furthermore, 30 students of the experimental class and 32 students of control class were selected. The research instrument, which consisted of 15 four-tier diagnostic test questions about Solar System were used to collect data before and after treatment. The tests were analyzed quantitatively by using the Mann-Whitney statistical test to determine the significance of the difference in the acceptable conception changes (Acceptable Change) of students in the experimental class with changes in the conception of students in the control class. The results of the research show that the implementation of POEA learning is significantly more effective than POE learning in changing the conception of Solar System topic. The findings of this study can be an alternative for junior high school teachers in planning learning about the Solar System, especially in an effort to change students' misconception about the Solar System.

Objective We investigated scoliosis incidence among junior high school students in Zhongshan city, Guangdong, China and the expression of miR-30e among those with scoliosis. Methods A total 41,258 students were included. From July 2015 to December 2017, all students underwent screening including routine observation of the standing and sitting posture, Adam's forward bend test, dorsal tilt angle measurement, and X-ray examination. Age, sex, height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) were recorded. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to assess miR-30e expression among students with scoliosis and 200 healthy students. Results Overall, 743 students were diagnosed with scoliosis, with an incidence rate of 1.80%. A total 646 (86.9%) students were diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis, 38 (5.1%) with congenital scoliosis, and 59 (7.9%) with other scoliosis types. Compared with healthy students, height was significantly greater whereas weight and BMI were significantly lower among students with scoliosis, and expression of miR-30e was significantly lower. However, no significant difference was found in height, weight, BMI, and mean Cobb angle between high/low miR-30e groups. Conclusion The incidence rate for scoliosis was 1.80%, Compared with healthy students, those with scoliosis were taller, had lower weight and BMI, and miR-30e expression was significantly downregulated.
