Textbooks can change, shape, and affect the formation of identity of those who learn the target language rather than teaching the language. In this study, the textbooks determined by the Ministry of National Education and used for English lessons in public high schools were analyzed with the content analysis method in terms of national identity and global identity elements. The study included textbooks and workbooks used in state high schools’ all grades. The data show that the books used as a textbook in public high schools, except 10th grade contain global identity elements more than national identity elements. Another important finding is that the 10th grade English textbook includes elements of national identity more than global identity elements. The results of the current study show that the textbooks prepare language learners for a global identity but also help them create a national identity in state high school, Turkey.

<p>This paper investigated the causes and possible strategies to minimize examination malpractices in Senior High Schools (SHSs) in Ghana. A descriptive survey design with a quantitative approach was used for the study. Proportional stratified and simple random sampling techniques were used to select a sample of 335 respondents which comprised 302 students and 33 teachers. Frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviations were used to analyse the data gathered. The findings revealed that the leading cause of examination malpractices was ‘insufficient students’ preparation for WASSCE and Public education on effects of examination malpractices has also emerged as the number one strategy to minimize the menace. It was concluded that in schools where a conducive environment and teaching/ learning materials are not provided for effective academic work, performance falls below what is expected, to achieve academic success, students and teachers engage in examination malpractices to raise the academic image of the school. It was recommended that school authorities provide a conducive teaching and learning environment to ensure effective academic work in schools to minimize the menace.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0896/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

The government through the Ministry of National Education has planned a Vocational Development Program, one of which is to increase the number of existing SMKs so that in 2014 it is expected that the ratio of the number of SMKs: SMAs is 67%: 33% as stated in the 2010-2014 Ministry of National Education Strategic Plan policy. The author tries to research the development of Vocational High Schools (SMK) in Pontianak City by taking real data in the field seen from the aspect of the spectrum of expertise, the fulfillment of eight national education standards and the fulfillment of Human Resources which is more devoted to the availability of teachers. From these aspects, we can later see whether the real data that the author has obtained is in accordance with the economic activities of the city of Pontianak or not. This is done as an initial writing for the benefit of further vocational development, for example to consider the type of vocational expertise to be developed. This study uses a descriptive qualitative writing approach. The instrument used in writing is in the form of an observation sheet that has been made by Dikti. This observation sheet serves to record the data that the authors found on the subject of writing including the competence of skills in the visited vocational schools, school accreditation, and teacher profiles. The data needed in this paper were obtained through observation, interviews and documentation studies. The results of the study found that vocational schools with business and management expertise dominated the vocational schools in Pontianak city. This is not in line with economic activity which is dominated by the trade, restaurant and hotel sectors which should be fully supported by vocational schools with expertise in Arts, Crafts, and Tourism. In addition, there are also 314 productive teachers who support vocational education in Pontianak City ABSTRAKPemerintah melalui Kementerian Pendidikan Nasional telah merencanakan Program Pengembangan SMK yang salah satu diantaranya adalah dengan menambah jumlah SMK yang ada sehingga pada tahun 2014 diharapkan rasio jumlah SMK : SMA sebesar 67% : 33% sebagaimana tertuang dalam kebijakan Rencana Strategis Depdiknas 2010-2014.
