The period of adolescence is characterized as a time of experimentation during which adolescents may engage in adult behavior in the absence of understanding the consequences of these behaviors. The purpose of this study was to examine the self-reported sexual behaviors of late adolescent junior and senior high school students ( N = 7,699). The study indicated a significantly high and disconcerting frequency of self-reported risk-taking sexual behavior.

<p>This article discusses how self-monitoring technique can be implemented effectively in improving the students’ grammar in their writing and to what extent the improvement can be attained. It departs from the issue of Corrective Feedback (CF) i. e. the controversy of the effectiveness of CF and the type of CF that is effective. The self-monitoring technique is promoted to cope both. A Classroom Action Research had been conducted to a group of senior high school students in Indonesia. Observation and interview were employed to collect the qualitative data while test was used to obtain the quantitative data. The findings suggest that: (1) self-monitoring technique could be implemented effectively due to the presence of the students’ autonomy and it must work together with sufficient teacher’s scaffolding (2) it could improve the students’ grammar in writing viewed from the improvement of the students’ score and from the types of the mistakes. As the finding of this research has not yet investigated the effect on acquisition, further researches might be in a longer period are highly recommended.</p>

This research was aimed to examine the correlation between self confidence and learning independency among senior high school students. This research was a quantitative study which involved all student of class XI social science major (ilmu pengetahuan sosial/IPS) in SMA Negeri 1 Porong with the total number of 88 students. The instrument used to collect data were self confidence and independent learning scales. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s product moment. The result shows that the coefficient correlation is 0,683 (r=0,683) in the significant level of  0,000 (p=0,000). The result means that there is correlation between self confidence and learning independency in which the relation between both variables is unidirectional. So, the higher the self confidence student have, the higher their learning independency would be and vice versa.Abstrak: Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menguji hubungan antara kepercayaan diri dengan kemandirian belajar pada siswa XI IPS SMA Negeri 1 Porong. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 88 siswa di SMA Negeri 1 sehingga disebut penelitian populasi, karena jumlah subjek penelitian dibawah 100. Instrumen penelitian yang digunakan adalah skala kepercayaan diri dan skala kemandirian belajar. Analisis data menggunakan product moment. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan nilai koefisien korelasi sebesar 0,683  (r=0,683) dengan taraf signifikan 0,000 (p=0,000) artinya terdapat hubungan antara variabel kepercayaan diri dengan kemandirian belajar dimana hubungan antar variabel adalah searah. Oleh karena itu, semakin tinggi kepercayaan diri yang dimiliki siswa, maka semakin tinggi pula kemandirian belajarnya, dan sebaliknya.

Abstract Background Health behaviors shape health and well-being, improve life quality, and provide economic benefit. Adolescence is a life phase in which the opportunities for health are great. Adolescent health brings not only the benefits of the present but also the well-being of the future and the next generation. We aimed to develop a reliable and valid scale that was used to evaluate the health behavior of the late adolescent, namely, the senior high school student. Methods In this study, we conducted two surveys: For the first survey, we recruited 526 senior high school students (318 boys, 208 girls; Mage = 16.5), and the data were used for item analysis and exploratory factor analysis. For the second survey, we recruited 542 senior high school students (249 boys, 293; girls; Mage = 15.5), and the data were used for confirmatory factor analysis and internal consistency reliability analysis. Results In exploratory factor analysis, we extracted four factors with 23 items in all: exercise awareness and habits (5 items), master and apply healthy behavior knowledge (10 items), emotional regulation (4 items), and environment adaptation (4 items). The Cronbach’s alpha values of the factors ranging from 0.863 to 0.937. A satisfactory goodness of fit model was achieved (CMIN/DF = 3.18, RMR = 0.04, GFI = 0.90, CFI = 0.92, TLI = 0.91, RMSEA = 0.06). Conclusions These results suggest that the Chinese version of the Health Behavior Scale is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing the health behavior of senior high school students.

Risk Taking Behaviors

AbstractObjectivesRisk-taking behaviors among adolescents can negatively affect different dimensions of their health. This study was conducted to identify the gender-based differences in risk-taking behaviors among high school students in a Muslim population.MethodsGrade 10 students studying in high schools located in Kerman Province, Iran were enrolled through cluster sampling (n=2,676), and data were collected using a well-validated questionnaire about violence, sexual behaviors, and traffic-related conduct over the past 12 months. The tool also consisted questions regarding drug use over the past 30 days and over lifetime (i. e., current and ever use of drugs, respectively)ResultsThe number of female participants was 1,407 (52.6%). The boys who had girlfriends (33.0%) were almost twice as many as the girls who had boyfriends (17.1%). Among the respondents, 27.8 and 12.0% of the boys and girls engaged in physical fighting, respectively. Overall, the prevalence of water pipe use in the last 30 days (18.7%) and over lifetime (43.5%) was higher than that of the consumption of other substances. The second and third most popular substances used in the past 30 days among boys and girls were alcohol and cigarettes and cigarettes and alcohol, respectively. On the whole, marijuana figured in the lowest lifetime use among the respondents.ConclusionsThe rate of risk-taking behaviors in female students was lower than in males, and this difference was more evident than in Western countries. This discrepancy seems to be more obvious in cases where the religious prohibition of a behavior is greater such as extramarital intimacy.

Self-concept is the awareness of a person of himself/herself based on his/her experiences, knowledge, body image, skills and in the way they tend to identify themselves in different situations, Meanwhile environment is where the students interact with others and spend most of their time. Environment is also where the students learn and gain experiences. Family, friends and peers are the people who the students communicate with, the people where they share their personal experiences and the people they mostly along with. The researchers used a survey questionnaire as a tool to be answered by the Senior High School students in Jagobiao National High School the data gathered will be treated using the weighted mean, frequency, percentage and lambda to determine their correlation. The influence of the variables are noticeable not significant to each other. It means that if they don’t develop their self-concept environmentally and innately, there are other factors that develop the achievement of the students on the concept of the self.

We explored gender differences in sexual behavior, and their relevance to mental health among high school students in South Korea. This study was based on data from the 14th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey (2018). The subjects were 2460 high school students who reported sexual experiences. Student′s t-test, ANOVA, and Rao-Scott chi-squared test were performed to identify the significance of the differences. Boys had earlier sexual debuts (Rao‑Scott χ2 = 53.55, p < 0.001), a lower frequency of using contraceptives (Rao-Scott χ2 = 26.57, p < 0.001), and lower rates of sex education in school (Rao-Scott χ2 = 11.20, p = 0.004). With respect to mental health factors, there was a difference in suicidality according to sexual risk behaviors, with a stronger association found in boys. In girls, there was an association between pregnancy experiences and suicidal ideation (Rao-Scott χ2 = 9.90, p = 0.003), plans (Rao-Scott χ2 = 17.25, p < 0.001), and attempts (Rao-Scott χ2 = 23.11, p < 0.001). Our findings suggest differences by gender and age group in the association between sexual behavior and mental health. It is necessary to devise a sex education strategy for adolescents considering gender and early versus late adolescent development period.
