Physics misunderstandings still occur in high school students now. Therefore, it requires complete learning so that students' conceptual physics can be stable and embedded in everyone. This study aimed to diagnose the extent to which students' conceptual understanding of physics on the topic of static fluid is. This study used a survey approach to form a written test for 100 senior high schools in two schools in Central Maluku Regency. The results showed that there were still many students who experienced fluid misconceptions in cases 2, 3, and 5 to achieve a good level. Therefore, deep learning is needed so that students' conceptual physics will be good and not forgotten

 The main purpose of this research was to know the level of understanding of students’ concepts in the sound wave and light waves material in class XI students of senior high school in the sub-district of Tampan, Pekanbaru. This research is survey research. The population in this research were all students of class XI of state Senior high schools in the Tampan sub-district of Pekanbaru, while the research sample numbered 65 students. The research instrument was in the form of concept understanding tests that were compiled based on indicators understanding the concepts of translation, interpretation, and extrapolation. The questions used were in the form of a written test in the form of multiple-choice totaling 26 items. The results of the answers to the questions given are then analyzed using descriptive analysis. The results of this research provide information, that the level of concepts understanding of class XI students in high schools throughout the sub-district of Tampan, Pekanbaru in physics lessons on sound wave material and light waves are in the very low category for the three indicators of translation, interpretation, and extrapolation. Therefore, a learning strategy is needed that is able to overcome the low understanding of the student's concepts.

Abstract Background The outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019(COVID-19) caused psychological stress in Chinese adults population. But we are unaware of whether the pandemic causes psychological stress on children. Methods We used the Children’s Impact of Event Scale questionnaire (CRIES-13) to investigate the degree of Post-traumatic Stress (PTSD) symptoms caused by the pandemic in students selected from schools in Sichuan, Jiangsu, Henan, Yunnan, and Chongqing provinces of China. Results A total of 7769 students(3692 male and 4077 female), aged 8–18 years, were enrolled in the study, comprising 1214 in primary schools, 2799 in junior high schools and 3756 in senior high schools. A total of 1639 students (21.1%) had severe psychological stress reactions. A large proportion of senior high school students (23.3%) experienced severe psychological stress, and they had the highest median total CRIES-13 score. Female students were more likely to experience severe psychological stress and had higher median CRIES-13 total scores than males. Conclusion COVID-19 has placed psychological stresses on primary and secondary school students in China. These stresses are more likely to reach severe levels among female students and senior high school students.

AbstractObjectiveTo ascertain the prevalence and correlated factors of providing consultation on sexual orientation and the characteristics of school nurses in high schools in Japan.MethodsParticipants were school nurses working in high schools in Aichi prefecture. Items investigated included background, experiences in providing counselling on sexual orientation, the availability of materials and resources for students, and learning experiences concerning how to handle sexual orientation concerns. We divided the respondents into two groups: one group who have provided counselling on sexual orientation before and one group with no such experience. Chi square tests were utilized to compare the responses between groups.ResultsAmong the respondents, 38.9% (n = 140) had previous experience of providing counselling to students on sexual orientation. The group with experience of providing counselling is more likely to have 10–29 years of experience, to work at a senior high school, to be informed on notifications from the Ministry of Education, to have experience of learning how to provide counselling on sexual orientation, and to be aware of effective resources.ConclusionIn Japan, it is expected that the support needs related to LGBTI will become more obvious in the future and efforts to create an environment in which it is easy for young people to consult with school nurses or other support figures are necessary.

Important Branch

The domain of motion or kinematics is important because it forms the basis of mechanics, an important branch of physics. By studying kinematic phenomena in the laboratory, high school students are likely to develop a better understanding of kinematics concepts as well as elements of the scientific approach to study natural and constructed phenomena. However, students encounter difficulties in understanding these concepts, just as in the acquisition of the skills necessary for the accomplishment of the different stages of an experimental process. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to provide guidance, according to a historical approach, which would inform teachers in the design of teaching sequences on the study of kinematics. Keywords: conceptual understanding, high school physics education, historical approach, kinematics.

Future Career

As a dynamic transformation of the economy, companies put pressure on universities and other educational suppliers to deliver the labor force with new knowledge and skills required, to ensure their innovation and competitiveness. Because of these dynamics, students are also under pressure when they must decide about future jobs. There is also confusion in the mind of young adult that needs to bear the influence of public media, social media, online communities about the personal development in regional, national, or global environment. In this case, universities and high schools have to inform about trends and perspectives of future career and support students in their choice but they lack of communication capabilities or marketing aspects are overestimated. Our study is based on an online survey with more than 500 participants from Mures county high schools during the 2018-2019 academic year. Most of the student wants to continue their study at university 83,2 %. As a preferential channel of information about university programs students voted as very useful, university websites and meetings with representatives of faculties. The main fields students interested in are: business, engineering, informatics, medicine, public administration and law. Around 13.4% of the high school students intend to continue their study abroad. Almost half of the respondents have clear idea of study program to be chosen. Regarding the influence factors of their choice, family and acquaintances who are already university students have the higher impact rather than colleagues, friends and professors. When referring to criteria for choosing the future university, they favor the number of tax-free places and international mobility. Generally, we can say that students consider university the most important next step in their future career and they proof themselves rather independent to decide about this step. Our study also emphasizes significant levels of indecision and we will deepen our further research for better understanding of the phenomenon.
