This article describes the result of study on the relationship between reading comprehension to vocabulary mastery. Using correlational design, this study assigned 84 students of the sixth grade students of SDN 03 Tenggarong as the sample. The instruments of this study were test on reading comprehension and test on vocabulary mastery. Two kinds of data in terms of scores on reading comprehension and scores on vocabulary mastery were analyzed using product moment formula at p=0.05 and N=84. The study revealed that r-value was .802 and r-table was .294 (p=0.05). The hypothesis testing indicated that r-value was greater than r-table. The evidence showed that the study was significant, meaning that reading comprehension significantly relates to vocabulary mastery. The higher scores on reading comprehension allowed higher scores on vocabulary.

Purpose of the study: This study aims to measure the effectiveness of using P.O.S.S.E strategy in the development of teaching to improve reading comprehension skills for sixth-grade students. Methodology: The procedure used is an experimental method based on Stratified Sampling which consists of 43 students divided into two groups – a control group of 21 students and an experimental group of 22 students- and a lesson plan was designed as a tool. Main Findings: The outcomes of the study indicated that the POSSE strategy has a positive effect on the development of reading comprehension skills over its five levels among the representative sample of sixth graders. Applications of this study: It is an essential reference in the development of teaching and training teachers to adapt to the P.O.S.S.E strategy for teachers, student educators. Novelty/Originality of this study: The result of this study is consistent with previous studies, which investigated the efficacy of POSSE strategy on the development of reading comprehension skills.

Pubertal development has been implicated as the point of origin for decreased body satisfaction and self-concept for girls from prepubertal levels and an increase in body satisfaction and self-concept for boys. Two groups of boys and girls in Grades 3 and 6 completed a Body Satisfaction Questionnaire and the Piers-Harris Self-concept Scale to test this assumption. The third graders were considered to be prepubertal and sixth graders as early pubertal. The sixth-grade boys scored lower on body satisfaction than third-grade boys, and their self-concept scores were positively correlated with body satisfaction scores. For girls, body satisfaction scores were correlated with self-concept in both grades, and few significant differences were found between grades. For girls apparently the relationship between body satisfaction and self-concept may be present before the onset of puberty.

The study aimed to identify the level of basic sixth-graders' acquisition of some of the values of citizenship and their level of competence in confrontation, and to reveal the relationship between the level of their acquisition of some values of citizenship and the level of competence of confrontation they have, and to reveal the differences between them in the acquisition of specific citizenship values (patriotism, commitment, responsibility The study sample consisted of (420) male and female students of the sixth grade, of whom (219) were pupils, and (201) pupils in the schools of Tartous city, and the study adopted the descriptive approach, and the Specific Citizenship Values Scale, and the Confrontation Efficiency Scale were used, which were prepared by the researcher using the previous studies. The city of Tartous, and their average level of confrontation competence, and the presence of a positive correlation between the scores of the study sample "of sixth grade students" in the scale of citizenship values and their scores in the scale of confrontation competence, a J The higher the level of students ’acquisition of citizenship values, the higher their level of coping competence, and there are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the study sample of sixth-grade students on the scale of citizenship values according to the gender variable in favor of female students in the overall score and sub-dimensions. Except for the second dimension (commitment value), it was not statistically significant and there were no differences between males and females, and there were no statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the study sample of sixth grade students on the scale of coping efficiency according to the gender variable.

 This study was intended to see the relationship between counseling guidance and juvenile delinguency.  The subject of this study was 63 students of the sixth grade of SDN 005 Bontang Utara.  This study used questionnaire consiting of 10 items to identify main data on the effectiveness of counceling guidance and juvenile delinguency.  In addition, documentary analysis regarding the counceling and juvenile delinguency was used complimentary to the questionnaire.  The analysis of the data discovered three descriptions:  counceling guidance, juvenile delinguency, and the relationship between counceling guidance and juvenile delinguency.  Results of guidance counceling indicated that of 63 respondents, 33% or 21 received good services, 38% or 24 enough, and 29% or 18 low.  The juvenile delinguency indicated that of 63 respondents, 50% or 31 respondents performed low traits, 25% or 16 enough, and 25% or 16 high. The hypothesis testing indicated that r-value (0.850) was greater than r-table (0.244) at p=0.05, N=63. The result is significant, meaning the better the quality of guidance counceling, the lower the juvenile deinguency was performed by the respondents.

Abstract The intended aim of this research was to identify the connection of Self-Efficacy Sources (SES) and Metacognitive Reading Strategies (MCRS) with Reading Comprehension (RC) by deploying reading Self-Efficacy Beliefs (SEB) as a mediating construct. A correlational design was utilized. Proportionate stratified random sampling was deployed to select a sample of 383 Saudi EFL university learners. Questionnaires and a reading comprehension test were employed to gather the data. Structural equation modelling was used to test the relationships. Results indicated that SES were substantially associated with SEB except physiological state. Moreover, all the three MCRS showed significant and positive association with SEB. Also, SEB were substantially associated with RC. Regarding mediation, it was discovered that SEB mediated the relationship among SES and RC except one source, i.e., physiological state. Moreover, SEB mediated the association between all the three MCRS and RC. This study provides several implications for learners, teachers, and policymakers. Keywords: Metacognitive Reading Strategies, Self-efficacy Sources, Reading Self-efficacy Beliefs, Reading Comprehension, Saudi EFL Learners

This study examined the mediating effects of peer status on the relationship between Intellectual Achievement Responsibility and the academic performance of 79 sixth grade students in an open-space school. When peer status was specified, a negative association was noted between achievement responsibility and academic ability for students of high status, but a positive one for students of low status. No association between achievement responsibility and ability was observed for students with medium peer status. Operation of internal achievement motivation may be influenced by the social psychological environment of the individual.
