The purpose of this study was to identify whether or not there was a significant difference in the variables of student centralisation, teacher questioning, teacher modelling and high-level thinking skills of students based on class stream for low-performing school students in Kudat, Sabah, Malaysia. This quantitative study used a survey method involving 250 respondents from the stated population. This study referred to the Absorption Learning Model (Swartz, Fischer and Parks, 1998) as the basis model for the study. The data were analysed using the T-test with Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS) version 22. Based on the class stream in Kudat district, the findings showed that there was a significant difference in the involvement of student centralisation between Science and non-Science students; there was no significant difference in teachers' questioning between Science and non-Science students; there was no significant difference in teacher modelling between Science and non-Science students; there was a significant difference in thinking skills level between Science and non-Science students. It is hoped that this study can provide useful inputs for improving the practice of teaching infusion of teachers to students from every class stream in Kudat region in particular and throughout Malaysia in general.

Self - esteem is how we value ourselves; it is how we perceive our value to the world and how valuable we think we are to others. Self - esteem affects our trust in others, our relationship, our work – nearly every part of our lives. Positive self – esteem gives us the strength and flexibility to take charge of our lives and grow from our mistakes without the fear of rejection. The paper is an attempt to find to identify self-esteem in relation to academic achievement among higher secondary students.

High Level Thinking

High level learning ability (HOTS) is the ability of students to be critical and creative thinking skills. In 2013, students were required to be able to receive information and remember it, but students must be able to solve the problems they faced with the knowledge they needed. Based on observations, the instruments used by teachers are still at the level of C1-C3, while for high-level thinking abilities students must be able to think at the C4-C6 level. This study aims to analyze the ability of high-level thinking of students on material changes in the environment. The assessment instrument used is an instrument of assessment of high-level thinking ability that is valid, practical, reliable and has good quality items. The instrument is said to be valid if the instrument can measure what should be measured. The practicality of the assessment instrument depends on how easily the instrument is used to assess students' abilities. Reliable means that the instrument gives the same results when tested in the same group at different times. An instrument that has good quality items is an instrument that has a moderate level of difficulty and sufficient differentiation, good and very good. Based on the results of the test questions, the average value of students is 41.37 which is still categorized as low. The low level of students' high-level thinking skills can be improved by familiarizing students with higher-order thinking and using scientific learning models.

School students need clear boundaries: boundaries that adults - parents as well as teachers - must set. We cannot abdicate our responsibility when students move outside those boundaries. To do that is to betray children, because the consequences of bad behaviour are so damaging It is the duty of the parents and teachers to create disciplinary awareness. The study aimed to examine the disciplinary awareness among secondary school students. The investigator adopted survey method to study the disciplinary awareness among school students. For this study a sample of 300 school students from 5 Govt and Private schools which are situated in and around Udumalpet town of Tirupur district in Tamil Nadu were selected by the investigator using simple random sampling technique. The findings reveal that 28.33% of the school students belong to low level of disciplinary awareness, 43.66% of school students the belong to moderate level of disciplinary awareness, 28% of  school students belong to high level of disciplinary awareness. Also it is found that there is a significant difference in attitude towards disciplinary awareness between male and female among school students. Females possess better disciplinary awareness than male students.

Learners find it difficult to learn if asked to solve problems with high-level thinking (HOTS). Difficulties experienced by students are difficulties in working on HOTS-based question in which students are asked to think critically and understand the purpose of the questions be worked on. Descriptive qualitative research methods. Sources of research data are students in class V SD N Bugangan 02 Semarang. Data collection procedures used are observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that fifth grade students found it difficult to work on HOTS-based questions because in the learning process teachers rarely gave HOTS-based question so students were not accustomed to solving questions by thinking highly.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the flexible decision pathways adopted by development advisors in the management of uncertainty in property development. Specifically, the study examines the quantitative techniques adopted by development advisors, the level of adoption of real options analysis (ROA) vis-à-vis the level of adoption of heuristics. Finally, the types of options exercised in property development were analysed. This was with a view to providing information that could mitigate the challenges of risk and uncertainty and increasing investment failure associated with property development in Nigeria, an emerging market. Design/methodology/approach The study adopted a survey method and was conducted on development advisors in property development companies/estate surveying and valuation firms in Nigeria. A total of 195 development advisors participated in the survey. The respondents were required to rate, on a five-point Likert scale, the level of adoption of the quantitative models, heuristics and the types of flexibility exercised during development. The data were analysed using mean rating, one-sample t-test and analysis of variance. Findings The results revealed that there was a preference for the use of traditional techniques, while probabilistic appraisal models and other contemporary methods such as ROA are seldom adopted by development advisors. While there was a significantly high level of adoption of heuristics, the stratified analysis examining the profile of the respondents and the level of adoption of ROA and heuristics suggests that years of experience influenced the level of adoption of both the ROA and heuristics by the development advisors. The analysis of the types of flexibility showed that staging/phasing and changing the initial use/design were the most prevalent flexibility pathways adopted during the development. However, the study found that there was no significant difference concerning the choice of flexibility being adopted by development advisors who used ROA and those who did not. Practical implications The study provides an understanding of the decision pathways adopted by development advisors in an emerging market like Nigeria. Originality/value The paper contributes to studies on decision-making pathways in the management of uncertainty under dynamic conditions by development advisors in emerging markets.
