This study was aimed at identifying new effective forms that could facilitate the achievement of a practice-oriented result, i.e. students’ ability to communicate in any speech situation, as well as their readiness for various kinds of oral and written examination tests, including the public defence of projects in the 10th grade and writing December essays in the 11th grade. The article considers rhetorical competitions as a means of developing communicative and linguistic competencies among 10th–11th grade students of a polycultural school. The article provides recommendations on organizing such competitions, criteria for evaluating presentations, examples of oral presentations. A textual analysis of the folklore material of Dagestanian and Russian fairy tales and proverbs allowed the authors to conclude that an inexhaustible set of universal themes that have become the subject of reflection in different nations, can teach students to respect other cultures and extend their knowledge of the world and other people. The experience of a rhetorical competition in high school on the basis of fairy tales and proverbs of different nations is expected to help students form such core competencies as critical thinking, creativity, communication and cooperation (ability to work in a team).

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo analisar a percepção dos estudantes de uma escola da rede pública de ensino sobre os resíduos sólidos no âmbito da educação ambiental. A coleta de dados se deu por meio de um questionário a 90 alunos do ensino médio no município de Crateús-CE. Os resultados demonstraram que a maioria (64 %) dos estudantes vê o lixo como algo inútil. Boa parte dos alunos (69%) conheceu o tema “lixo” nas aulas de biologia, porém, a frequência de aulas que abordem a temática é considerada baixa pelos mesmos. Os projetos e ações governamentais são os meios mais referidos na conscientização e a minimização do lixo deve ocorrer por meio de ações sustentáveis segundo os estudantes. Apesar dos discentes conheceram certas condutas sustentáveis, ainda não estão a par da realidade social caracterizada pela produção de lixo. The student perspective on solid waste in a school in the semi-arid Northeast The present work had the objective of analyzing the perception of students of a school in the public system on solid waste in the scope of environmental education. Data collection was done through a semi-structured questionnaire to 90 high school students. The results showed that the majority (64%) of the students see the trash as something useless. Most of the students (69%) knew the subject "junk" in biology classes, however, the frequency of classes that approach the subject is considered low by them. It is observed that although the students know some concepts and sustainable behaviors, they still present a simplistic view on the problem of garbage, and they have little information regarding the social reality that characterizes the solid waste production. Keywords: Solid Waste. Garbage. Perception of students. Environmental Education.

Evaluation is an important part of our educational system. Ultimate goal of it is the evaluation of all-round development of students. For this, Summative written examination and Project work play an important role. Summative Evaluation takes place when the teaching-learning process is over. It generally takes place at the end of a terra of year. The purpose of S.E. is to determine whether the pupil has completed a particular course of studies successfully. Summative evaluation typically comes at the end of a course of instruction. It is designed to determine the extent in which the instructional objectives have been achieved and is used primarily for assigning course-grades or certifying pupil mastery of the intended learning outcomes. Projective methods are those method in which we provide the subject relatively indefinite and unstructured material and then allow students to build structure of the material in anyway according to the subject project, his feelings, attitude etc. Project Work is a learning experience which aims to provide students the opportunity to synthesise knowledge from various areas of learning and it critically and creatively applies to real life situations.

The aim of this study was to contribute to the teaching of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) in High Schools. The study was done from the research knowledge about STDs of 61 students from two schools of Rio Claro – SP, Brazil: a state and a private school, through a questionnaire (Pre-test) and an interview with two Biology professors, each one from each school. The results indicated that, in general, the students in the private school had more knowledge about the subject. The public school students showed more problems with knowledge about the symptoms of STDs. In those two schools the knowledge on the subject proved to be generic and superficial. According to the Biology teachers, both of them teach about the content and the teaching material contains themes of sexuality and STDs. From these results, an intervention was developed with students, using methods such as group dynamics and lecture dialogued lessons. After the intervention, there was an increase in the percentage of correct answers for the students of both schools (Post-test) which shows that it was effective. We conclude that this work has achieved its goal to enlighten students on the topic, but schools fail to have a better dialogue with their students for the planning of such content, since although its teaching is expected, learning is not happening as expected.

The subject of this research is the peculiarities of organization of educational environmental geocaching for the public school students. Current a relevant trend in development of modern education is the model of open, informal education. Educational geocaching is one of the forms of organization of work with the students of informal education.

For abstract concepts to be well understood, students need to be familiar with the concepts and able to associate them correctly. Students cannot make scientific explanations on the subject unless they can establish relationships. This study aimed to determine the understanding level of 11th-grade high school students on “gases” in terms of chemical variables and any alternative frameworks on the subject of gases. A methodology, including both qualitative and quantitative design, was used for this investigation. Open-ended questions and group discussion methods were used for data collection. The questions were applied to 87 11th-grade students from three public schools. Group discussions were conducted with nine students. The students’ understanding level of gases was statistically presented based on the predetermined categories. Besides, alternative frameworks on gases were described with direct excerpts taken from the students’ statements. According to the results of the study, it was concluded that the students’ understanding level of gases was low. In addition, it was observed that students were often inadequate in explaining gas-related events and that there were numerous unscientific errors in their explanations. Active learning methods should be designed to minimize the alternative conceptions of high school students on gases and focus on the conceptual and scientific understanding of students.
