Abstract:Student errors in solving Mathematical problems are often found by writers in rural schools, and it possibly happened in schools in the city too. This article tries to analyze the mistakes of high school students in rural and urban areas in solving math problems. This research is qualitative with a research location in two schools, each as an interpretation of schools in rural and urban areas. The results found that students in a rural and urban school in principle there an error in solving problems. High school students in urban areas tend to make procedural errors while rural high school students in addition to making procedural errors also tend to make computational skills mistakes. Abstrak:Kesalahan siswa dalam menyelesaikan soal-soal Matematika sering penulis temukan pada sekolah di pedasaan, namun demikian tidak menutup kemungkinan juga terjadi pada sekolah di perkotaan. Artikel ini mencoba menganalisis kesalahan siswa SMA di Pedesaan dan Perkotaan dalam menyelesaikan soal matematika. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan loaksi penelitian di dua sekolah yang masing-masing sebagai interpretasi sekolah yang berada di pedesaan dan perkotaan. Hasil penelitian diperoleh bahwa siswa yang bersekolah di pedesaan maupun perkotaan pada prinsipnya ditemukan adanya kesalahan dalam menyelesaikan soal. Siswa SMA di perkotaan cenderung untuk melakukan kesalahan prosedur sedangkan siswa SMA di pedesaan selain melakukan kesalahan prosedur juga cenderung melakukan kesalahan keterampilan komputasi.

Abstract The increasing prevalence of obesity among high-school students is a public health problem, as more and more children are facing it.[5] Education has a great impact on the way young people deal with this problem. A significant effect on the behaviour of the pupils is the background they have, differences between children from rural areas compared to children from urban areas in terms of BMI being documented. A number of 185 high-school students from two schools in Constanta, from urban and rural areas were interviewed and data about height and weight was collected. The results show that there is no statistically significant difference of the height between teenagers from urban and rural area, but there is a statistically significant association between area and BMI-z score distribution. Also, a higher number of teenagers from urban area underestimate their weight status compared to teenagers from rural areas.

Achluophobia, fear of darkness, is a common phobia among children and to some degree in adults. The response was taken from 3399 students (8th:1175, 9th:1095, 10th:1129) studying in Government High Schools. The study found that the phobia was more in 8th class students of both rural and urban, compared to 9th and 10 students. Among the rural schools, the average percentage (8th to 10th) was more in Nambur (23.32), Venigalla (17.96) and Tadikonda girls’ (16.35). In the case of urban schools the highest percentage was recorded in SJRR(22.20), SKS (19.25) and SK school (16.90).

The study sought to investigate technology use among Ghanaian senior high school students’ and to also uncover the factors influencing their technology use. Cross-Sectional survey design with mixed quantitative and qualitative data was gathered for the study. The population of the study comprised of all senior high school students’ in Ashanti region. A stratified sampling technique was used to select 200 students from both rural and urban districts in Ashanti region. The findings revealed that the extent to which SHS students’ use of technology in learning mathematics was very low. The Independent samples t-test revealed that students’ in the urban areas use more technology (Mean = 2.19, SD = 0.48) than students’ in the rural areas (Mean = 1.94, SD =0.54), students’ in a school with high technology resources available use more technology (Mean = 2.30, SD = 0.48) than students’ in a school with low technology resources available (Mean = 1.88, SD = 0.50) and students’ above the age of 20 years use more technology (Mean = 2.61, SD = 0.59) than students’ within the age of 18 – 20 years (Mean = 2.03, SD = 0.56) and students’ within the age of 15 – 17 years (Mean = 2.08, SD = 0.44). The analysis revealed that the differences in the mean technology use between students’ in the rural and urban areas, students’ in schools with high technology resources available and students’ in schools with low technology resources available and students’ above 20 years and students below 20 years were statistically significance (F = 12.22, p = 0.001), (F = 35.91, p = 0.00), and (F = 4.96, p = 0.01) respectively.

<p>This study includes a sample of 112 high school students who provided self-efficacy<br />judgments to solve math problems. Thirty-six experimental conditions called scenarios were<br />created for this study by combining 4 factors regarding solving mathematical problems<br />(modality, degree of difficulty, structuring, and relevance of the task). Each scenario<br />described a hypothetical context that required the participant to imagine an activity to<br />reinforce the learning of math skills in the scenario. Thus, the experimental task was to read<br />each scenario and to judge how capable the participant felt to undertake each math task under<br />the hypothetical context. Results showed two levels of self-efficacy judgment among<br />participants. Students in the first level judged themselves as highly capable of performing<br />math activities, while those in the second level, judged themselves as moderate capable.<br />Regarding the first cluster factors regarding difficulty and the structure of the task had a<br />greater weight whereas in the second cluster task difficulty and task relevance factors<br />obtained the higher weight values. Finally, a cognitive summation rule used by participants to<br />integrate information from the different study factors was identified. Results implications on<br />education are discussed in this article.</p>

<p class="JRPMAbstractBodyEnglish">This research aims to determine the type and percentage of errors that junior high school students do in solving math problems on the subject of the circles. This research is an expost facto research.  The population of this study is all students of grade VIII of one of the junior high schools in Purworejo as many as 182 students. Then by randomly selecting from the entire student, selected as many as 94 students as research samples. Research instruments are used in the form of diagnostic tests. Based on the results of the research, the students’ errors have done in solving math problems on the topic of circle are errors in comprehension (16,93%), transformation (27,39%), operation (26,30%), and drawing conclusion (71,55%). So, the most dominant error done by grade VIII students of one of the junior high schools in Purworejo is an error in the drawing of conclusions. Based on the results of this study, teachers need to design more effective learning to minimize the errors that occur, especially errors in drawing conclusions.</p>

The catchment area of River das Antas (Irati, Paraná, Brazil) is of high importance both for human consumption and irrigation. Within Irati, this river passes through a rural area and through the city of Irati, crossing both poor and rich neighbourhoods. We selected three study areas downstream (a rural area, poor community, and rich neighbourhood) in which we measured turbidity, the concentration of sediments and pH during rainy days. Our results showed downstream trends of increasing turbidity and concentrations of sediments with decreasing pH. The values of turbidity and of concentration of sediments were significantly different in the rural area, while the pH values were significantly different between the three study areas. These findings highlight the effect of agricultural activities in the generation of sediments and turbidity. The—presumably expected—effects of organic urban waste from the poor neighbourhood were also detected in the pH values. We conclude that efforts should be made to ensure that land planning and training/education programmes on sustainable farming practices are undertaken by the authorities to reduce water pollution and its effects on water bodies during rainfall events, since paving streets is not a feasible option in the short term due to the high costs associated with this measure.
