Internet-based technologies are now a common resource used by young students worldwide. Despite the numerous reports regarding the possible negative effects of such tools on the individual behavior and health, schools and professors are now faced with the opportunity of applying novel strategies to improve alumni assessment throughout high school and college courses. Here, an online form-based tool was applied to evaluate student learning throughout a high school biology course (18 weeks). Parameters such as date and hour of delivery, average score and frequency of completion were automatically obtained and then analyzed to draw a perspective on student behavior towards online assessment tools. Results indicate that students are most likely (~ 65% of assignment completions) to finish their homework in the two days prior to the deadline. Also, these tools seem not to correlate with late hour smartphone/computer use, as indicated by the submission hours (2-10 p.m.). Finally, a small positive correlation (R2 = 0.2620) was observed between completion frequency and average homework score. These results suggest the possibility of using online tools to improve student engagement in high school courses. Future studies would benefit from exploring the correlation between participation frequency and student test scores.

Lack of awareness and limited information about the dangers of e-cigarettes among teenagers, especially high school students, make them assume that e-cigarettes are a safe alternative to reduce smoking habit. This can be circumvented through the development of teaching materials that are tailored to the needs of students. This study aims to develop teaching materials about the negative effects of e-cigarettes as a source of learning for high school students and analyze their validity, readability, and feasibility. This development research uses the plot of Thiagarajan et al., (1974), namely 4-D (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). The subjects of this research include material & media experts, students of class XI MIPA 3 and XI MIPA 4 SMAN 12 Semarang, and teachers who are members of senior high school biology teachers forum in Rembang Regency. The results showed the validation scores of material and media experts were 83% and 97.7%, respectively, with very valid criteria. Analysis of the readability of teaching materials from the results of student responses and the cloze test, respectively obtained an average score of 86.2% and 84% with very good and independent criteria. Analysis of the feasibility of teaching materials from the results of teacher responses at the senior high school biology teachers forum in Rembang, obtained an average score of 83.7% with very feasible criteria. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that teaching materials about the negative effects of e-cigarettes are valid, it has good readability, and feasible to use as a source of learning for high school students. The teaching material is expected to be able to add insight and knowledge about the negative effects of e-cigarette exposure and to contribute better in improving the quality of learning resources.

<p>Students drop out of schools for many reasons, and it has negative effects on the individual and society. This paper reports a study using data published in 2015 from the Educational Longitudinal Study conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics to analyze the influence of parental involvement on low-achieving U.S. students’ graduation rates from high school. Findings indicate that both students and parents share the same perspective on the need for parental involvement in their academic progress. For low-achieving high school students, parental involvement in academic work is a positive factor influencing students’ graduation from high school.</p>

In this study, it is aimed to examine the effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the psychological, social and educational status of high school seniors preparing for the university entrance exam. In this context; In the 2020-2021 academic year, in-depth interviews were conducted with 15 students from different high school types who were studying in the last year of high school and preparing for the exam, in line with the semi-structured questionnaire, and the data obtained were descriptive analysis and content analysis (coding, code frequency and distribution, creation of themes, Calculation and mapping of relationships between subcodes and subcodes) were evaluated. Within the scope of the qualitative analysis, the effect of the pandemic process on the psychological, social and educational status of the students, a total of 422 codes in four different themes (The effects of the pandemic process on distance education - 131 codes, the effects on student behavior - 10 codes, the effects on students' emotions - 182 codes, concerns arising from the pandemic - 99 code) was created and analyzed. While the subjects that the students emphasized most frequently were “Lessons becoming inefficient” (25 codes), “Negative effects on motivation” (22 codes) and “Uncertainty anxiety” (20 codes), the least coded expression was “Happiness” (1 code). It has been determined that students preparing for the exam are generally negatively affected by the pandemic.

Abstract. This study investigated the effects of politicians’ nonparticipatory and participatory Facebook posts on young people’s political efficacy – a key determinant of political participation. We employed an experimental design, using a sample of N = 125 high school students (15–20 years). Participants either saw a Facebook profile with no posts (control condition), nonparticipatory posts, or participatory posts. While nonparticipatory posts did not affect participants’ political efficacy, participatory posts exerted distinct effects. For those high in trait evaluations of the politician presented in the stimulus material or low in political cynicism, we found significant positive effects on external and collective efficacy. By contrast, for those low in trait evaluations or high in cynicism, we found significant negative effects on external and collective efficacy. We did not find any effects on internal efficacy. The importance of content-specific factors and individual predispositions in assessing the influence of social media use on participation is discussed.

The process of human development is inseparable from the influence of the environment, so the development of adolescents who sit in junior high school will be different from adolescents in high school, or in college, even though human life is definitely not going to be separated from the past and the future. Adolescence is one of the development periods experienced by humans in their lives. During the transition, adolescents are in an unstable condition. There is a feeling of insecurity, because they have to change or change the behavior patterns of adolescents from children to adults. From this transition period the potential for social conflict arises, because of the desire to meet human needs. Sociodrama is one of the techniques in group guidance that aims to solve social problems that arise in human relationships that can be implemented if most group members face similar social problems, or if they want to practice or change certain attitudes. Conflicts can have positive or negative effects, and they always exist in life. The problem is how the conflict can be managed in such a way that it does not cause social disintegration. Therefore, it needs a conflict management, so that the conflict can be controlled and directed
