Chiroptera é um grupo diverso em relação a seus hábitos alimentares e refúgios, além de apresentarem importante papel ecológico no ecossistema. No entanto, a grande parte da população não conhece sobre a biologia e ecologia desses animais e os temem por serem associados a animais maléficos. O presente trabalho objetivou apresentar a percepção dos alunos do Ensino Médio de duas escolas no município do Rio de Janeiro a respeito dos morcegos e as mudanças decorrentes no conhecimento desses animais após um trabalho de educação ambiental. Para isso foram utilizados questionários abertos antes da aula expositiva e prática e outro após o trabalho de educação ambiental. Nas aulas os alunos puderam conhecer um pouco da biologia, diversidade e curiosidades sobre os morcegos, além de tocar em exemplares taxidermizados e tirar dúvidas sobre a ecologia desses animais. Foram analisados questionários de 122 alunos e pôde-se perceber que, após as aulas, o conhecimento da biologia dos morcegos aumentou, com maior número de itens assinalados a respeito da alimentação e refúgio. Além do aumento de referências de afetividade/ajuda e de entendimento sobre a importância dos morcegos nos ecossistemas. Pode-se concluir através desse estudo que a escola é uma ótima ferramenta para expandir o acesso ao conhecimento na realização de atividades extracurriculares, de modo a auxiliar na consolidação de atividades em prol da conservação dos morcegos.

However, much of the population does not know about the biology and ecology of these animals and fear them for being associated with malefic animals. The present work aimed to present the perception of the high school students of two schools in the city of Rio de Janeiro regarding bats and the resulting changes in the knowledge of these animals after an environmental education work. For that, we used open questionnaires before the lecture and practice class and another after the environmental education work. In the classes, the students were able to get to know some of the biology, diversity and curiosities about bats, as well as playing on taxidermized specimens and doubting the ecology of these animals. A total of 122 questionnaires were analyzed and it was possible to observe that, after classes, knowledge of bats biology increased, with a greater number of items related to food and shelter. In addition to increasing references to affection/ help and understanding about the importance of bats in ecosystems. It can be concluded from this study that the school is a great tool to expand access to knowledge in the accomplishment of extracurricular activities, in order to help consolidate activities for the conservation of bats.

Discipline in class is essential. Without it the educational processes and teachings are difficult. In this manner curricula goals are almost impossible to achieve. There are and there always will be some kind of conflicts between teachers and students, but they should not evolve to become a problem. Teachers (especially elderly teachers) often express pessimism of contemporary students. They say that today's students have less knowledge, they do misbehave more often than previous generations. A study among students was conducted. It was trying to determine the rate of discipline in schools in Celje to see if these statements are true. The questionnaire to students of one primary and one high school in Celje, Slovenia were distributed. The answers from 234 students were received. On the one hand, it was found out that senior high school students have the worst level of discipline of all the grades tested. They themselves assess their class atmosphere as less disciplined. They report that teachers use a lot of time to calm the class down. All this is probably a factor in lower average grade that the senior high school students have. On the other hand, it was found out that teachers do not react to the disturbance or they are trying to be repressive. These are not the correct ways of dealing with discipline issues. Therefore, there are some recommended ways how teachers should react. Keywords: discipline in class, primary school, contemporary student, elderly teachers.

Covid-19 are one of the viruses that were widely spreaded in 2019 and are still separate until nowadays. Thailand is one of the countries that are highly infected. The majority of people who are infected with this virus tend to have mild to severe respiratory symptoms. Furthermore, anyone can get sick, and it can lead to death. However, the most common symptoms of this virus are fever, cough, tiredness, and loss of taste or smell, on the other hand, characteristics in a minority of people, such as diarrhea and headaches.

These changes have impacted mostly on economics and education in particular countries, so this problem also affects anxiety among high school students; who must prepare to apply to the university during the COVID-19 outbreak. In addition, we have collected 151 answers from high school students by surveying in order to know the feelings for entrance to the university during the pandemic situation. We found out that 81.3% of the students are highly affected by covid, and only 0.7% of students are slightly affected. We also found out that 55% of the students are worried about university entrance, and only 2.6% of the students were not worried at all. According to the result, most of the students in Thailand are facing the problem about their education and their entrance for the university which are caused by Covid-19. This may lead to illnesses like depression and anxiety. Keywords: Students, Learning, COVID-19, Thailand, University.
