The main activity for studying Mathematics of High school students is solving Math problems. So, the apprehension of methodology is significantly important and necessary to improve for students, though in some specific cases, the result can attain in different levels. Some research papers about teaching methods of Nguyen Ba Kim (2006), Dao Tam (2010)… had a great consideration to the apprehension of methodology as a tool and result of the activity. This article presents the ability to use the process with four steps in solving Math problems and the suggestions of G.Polya (1975) to develop the methodological apprehension for ethnic minority students through asking questions and help them to think and discover

The purpose of this developmental research was to develop a scientific approach based science worksheet on the dynamic electrical material topic for ninth-grade junior high school students.  The worksheet were developed based on scientific approach. The stages include:  observing, asking questions, gathering information, processing information, and communicating. The development model used is the 4-D Model consists of 4 stages: define,  design, develop, and desimanate. The results of the validation, a small and large group trials indicated that the used of the scientific approach based science worksheet was appropriate for use. Thus, the developed worksheets can be used in the process of learning for Junior high school science students. Keywords : Worksheet , Scientific approach

Minority students are less likely to seek help to deal with bullying at school than their majority counterparts. Nonetheless, very little is known about the factors that influence their willingness to seek help, or the role of school counselors as potential help providers. Thus, in the present study we examined Israeli Arab minority high school students’ help seeking from school counselors for coping with verbal, physical, and social bullying. A national representative sample of 730 high school students participated in the study. Our findings revealed that the vast majority of students did not seek help at all. Students who sought help, in comparison with those who did not, reported more positive relationships with their school counselors, and noted that their counselors were more available for them. Students who experienced higher levels of victimization were more willing to seek help than those who experienced lower levels. Implications for help seeking and the role of counselors in schools are discussed.

Verbal scientific communication skills observed in this study include: asking questions, answering questions, contributing ideas / opinions, responding to other students' opinions, and conveying the results of the discussion. Based on the results of the study concluded that the oral communication skills of Al-Azhar Kayangan high school students through learning the integration model of local wisdom are still in the low category. A skill cannot be taught in a short time so it needs to be practiced repeatedly so that students become more skilled. Further research is needed to be related to non-verbal communication skills at the same location and students so that observation of students' communication skills is more comprehensive.

Problems 1 7 and 25, 26, and 28 are adapted from Recreational Math Problems for High School Students Book I and Book II (revised 1984). The problems were used in Wellington County (Ontario) mathematics contests and prepared for the Grand Valley Mathematics Association under the guidance of Gary Flewelling. Problems 8 13 are adapted from Puzzles for Pleasure by Barry R. Clarke (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1994). Problem 14 was contributed by Agnes Tuska and Larry Cusick, both of California State University-Fresno, 5245 North Backer Ave., Fresno, CA 93740. Problems 15 24 were submitted by Elias Jonas, Truman Middle College, 1145 West Wilson, Chicago, IL 60640. Problem 27 is taken from 101 Puzzle Problems by Nathaniel B. Bates and Sanderson M. Smith (Concord, Mass.: Bates Publishing Co., 1980).

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) administered its 75-item 1991 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance survey to a nationwide random sample of 12, 248 high school students. In a secondary analysis of their data, one item on students' perceived class standing, was compared with selected health risk-taking practices. The 7.7% of students who indicated that they were “below the middle” in comparison with their classmates reported more participation in all risk-taking behaviors than students who reported being “in the middle” (28.6%) or “above the middle” (63.7%). Students' grades, ages, and ethnicity showed significant differences, with younger students and selected ethnocultural minority students more likely to report being “below the middle.” Perceived class standing may be a proxy measure for estimating participation in health-compromising practices.

It is difficult for junior high school teachers to position and nurture their students who are still in transition in creative thinking when solving math problems. This study evaluates students' creative thinking process based on Wallas model (2014). The four stages of the creative thinking process according to Wallas include the preparatory, incubation, illumination, and verification phases. The purpose of this study is to describe the creative thinking process of students based on their basic ability level in solving math problems. This research applies giving test of geometric crater thinking ability by looking at homogenous student in kemampuandan interview for deepening. Subjects of junior high school students who categorized on the ability of high, medium, and low after the ability test. Variable of this research is the existence of junior high school students in solving math problems. By using qualitative descriptive method, data is analyzed through classification stage, data representation, and conclusion. In order to complete the results of data groupings used interview techniques to perform data triangulation. The results showed 1) there were 23.33% of students not complete and only reached the preparation stage, called the low category category; 2) there are 60% of students reach the illumination stage even though to this stage students take a long time, called the middle category category; And 3) 16.67% of students have been completed until the verification stage, called the high category category. Based on the deepening of the triangulation of the interviews, the students are correct in that category. For students with low and medium capability categories still require assistance when experiencing barriers to their creative thinking process, while high ability category students need enrichment material
