English Learning Enjoyment (ELE) potentially sustains students’ motivation of English learning, especially under China’s fresh context where National English Curriculum Standards for Senior High Schools issued in 2017 has directed teachers to cultivate students’ core competencies of English as a subject. Its theoretical framework was established by Dewaele and MacIntyre (2014) on Foreign Language Enjoyment (FLE) and then subcategorized by Li Chengchen et al. (2018) into ELE-Private, ELE-Teacher, and ELE-Atmosphere. The three dimensions have thus made it possible for the following quantitative research, where an enormous space remains on senior high school students in China, despite exhaustive studies beforehand with either overseas background or distinctive educational contexts. This quantitative study will concentrate on the general levels of ELE, both overall and for each dimension. Thus with Li Chengchen et al.’s (2018) ELE Scale came the investigations of 351 senior high school students of all grades with diverse academic levels, whose data were analyzed through SPSS in terms of general levels (both mean values and standard differentiations). The results have looked at an intermediate and converging level of Overall ELE with a more prominent level of ELE-Teacher than ELE-Private and ELE-Atmosphere. Inspired by the results comes a disclosure of students’ positivity in English learning under the guise of their inclination to teachers’ efforts instead of automatic drive or constructive environment for authentic language development. Thus an integrated approach is recommended by dint of an elaborate picture of ELE-Private and ELE-Atmosphere to reclaim the lost authentic “self” of senior high school students.

Learning English

This study was inspired by previous studies of how students’ learning influences their learning belief and in turn, their strategies. Unfortunately, few studies concern learners’ conceptions of learning, in particular in learning English; and paid less attention to senior high school students level. With the intention to identify Islamic senior high school. Interview and both close and open questionnaires were used to collect relevant data. To identify students’ conception, Purdie and Hattie’s COLI items were used; and Oxford’s SILL to identify learning strategies. Data collected from close questionnaire were analyzed by quantifying the frequency and the average of particular issues, which include the preference of students' learning conception and learning strategies. Meanwhile, data from interview and open questionnaire were analyzed using Miles and Hubberman’s (1994) framework of qualitative data analyses. Overall, data analyses results showed that, in terms of their conceptions, most students conceived learning as a duty—in order to able to make their parents happy, to serve the community with their knowledge, and most of all, as a way to show their devotion to Allah the all mighty. In addition, most students favored metacognitive learning strategies in learning English. This study came to the conclusion that although the tendency of students’ conception of learning English was at the surface level of learning, most of the students used relatively complex and high-level strategies when it came to their English learning process as they used metacognitive strategies.

The aim of this study is to explore Indonesian students’ responses towards scientific argumentation with ADI learning model to physics literacy by using survey study. The sample included 100 Indonesian senior high school students (47% male and 53% female) who were studying at public school in East Java province. The Responses towards Scientific Argumentation ADI Learning Model to Physics Literacy (RT-SAPL) questionnaire was developed with Indonesian language and validated through an exploratory factor analysis of participants’ responses. For measuring the correlation among three dimensions of scale, the Pearson Correlation product moment was used. The findings indicated: the instrument used in this study had satisfactory validity and reliability. Meanwhile, the construct validities of the RT-SAPL were varying from .617 and .832 and extracting 70.655% of the variance with overall Cronbach’s alpha constant was .854. Moreover, the dimension of ADI learning model came in the first rank and followed by Scientific argumentation as well as the degree of responses towards scientific argumentation with ADI learning model to physics literacy. Finally, the findings have also indicated a significant relationship among factors of RT-SAPL.

Learning strategies are applied by students to improve their studies. Suitable language learning strategies result in proficiency which is improved and greater self-confidence. Most researches observe the language learning strategies without dividing which affect more between direct and indirect strategy toward learning proficiency. Therefore, this research was conducted to find out whether the direct language learning strategies had a positive relationship and significant effect toward English learning proficiency on senior high school students. An ex-post-facto method with a correlational design was applied in this research. The population was 410 students at the eleventh grade of SMA Negeri 1 Baubau and selected 75 students as the sample using a simple random sampling technique. The instruments used were the SILL (Strategy Inventory for Language Learning) and the English proficiency test. The results of descriptive statistics indicate the compensation strategies were the most dominant learning strategy used by the eleventh-grade students with the mean score was 2.66. From the result of hypothesis testing, it was obtained the positive relationships and significant effect of those three kinds of strategies toward English proficiency on the eleventh-grade students. Besides, the memory strategies have the highest correction with the score of correlation is 0.756.

The compassion scale for adolescents is a 20-item self-report measure consisting of three dimensions, namely, compassion toward other people, compassion toward oneself, and compassion toward other living things. This scale evaluates compassion in adolescents aged between 12 and 18 years old. The purpose of the current study is to assess the psychometric properties of the compassion scale among Iranian adolescents in junior high school and senior high school students. The number of students who voluntarily took part in this research was 302. The relationships between the compassion scale, mindfulness, emotion regulation, and well-being were explored to assess the convergent validity. Furthermore, the relationship between the compassion scale and anxiety was investigated to assess the divergent validity. The results of confirmatory factor analysis supported the three factors of the compassion scale among Iranian junior and senior high school students same as the original version. The results show that the compassion scale appears to be a reliable and valid measure for Iranian adolescents.
