Conversely, it is still impressed that the  learning is still dominated by one intelligence based education,  that is IQ which is  cause and effect oriented eductional program. In line with that the learning is filled in the domain of cognition which is commonly oriented at the most basic level of mental development, in which the level of memorization activity is fulfilled the learning process. So that the complex intelligences of the learners’ do not develop optimally. This conditions produce that the  Indonesian educational products are not optimal. So to improve the quality of education, it is necessary to develop the implementation of learning system which based on the impact of the findings of neuroscience into education, including the development of multiple intelligences (multiple intelligences) in high school level.

Awareness and knowledge of both the engineering profession and engineering education programming is important for students in high school because strategic course choices must be made for students to qualify for university enrolment. This paper, a work-in-progress of a larger study, uses a qualitative analysis framed by the CEAB Graduate Attributes to gain insight into how teachers identify students who could become engineers. Participants clearly identified traits that describe the Knowledge Base attribute. Many participants identified other traits that described how students work; these did not fit easily within one attribute. The one attribute that was notably absent was Design.The findings describe that participants had a partial idea of the traits that would describe a potential engineer. This gap in knowledge supports work to develop a complete idea of the engineering profession at the high school level to ensure students can make informed course selection decisions and, in turn, career decisions

The present study aims to investigate the relationship between corruption and economic growth by taking the driving force of education into account. A significant contribution of the education level to the reduction process of corruption is expected to occur. For this reason, the number of those who are convicted of corruption offenses depending on their educational status for Turkey are to be taken into account, whereas the effect of education being a separate variable on growth and corruption will not be considered. In this regard, Vector Error Correction (VECM) model will be used as a method for the years between 1980-2011 and the relationship between corruption and economic growth will be analyzed. The contribution of the study to the literature is to reveal the impact of those who cause corruption depending on their education level on growth by undertaking the education levels separately. According to the empirical findings, considering corruption convicts who are literate but not graduated from a school and those having graduated from primary and secondary education, it was observed that corruption affects growth in a negative way. In contrast, given the corruption crimes which were committed by the graduates of both high school and vocational school at high school level and higher education, it was determined that there is a positive relationship between corruption and economic growth.
