Scientific Name

The scientific name of living things, especially plants, is one of the things that is basically very interesting to learn and know, because the scientific name of living things provides an important role, among others with scientific names it will easily know the characteristics, relationships of relatives, and interactions of living things in the environment. Knowledge of plant classification has generally been taught to high school students and MIPA students or biology majors, but interest in learning about plant taxonomy is still low due to the source of information that is not yet widely available. Therefore, the development of learning media is needed one of them by building an android-based plant scientific language dictionary application that can be one of the alternative learning media for students and students. The algorithm applied is sequential search that performs search faster because the search process is already in order. That way the interest in learning students and students about the scientific language of plants can be encouraged by the spirit in learning by using this learning medium. Based on the research that has been done, the application of the scientific language dictionary of plants can be used by students, students and the public as a means of learning in understanding the scientific names on each plant that is equipped with the alphabetic menu a-z and plant categories and search features to make it easier for users to find plant names

We submit that there is currently an urgent need to educate the public about engineering and attract talented people to the profession. Further, we argue that such efforts are most effective when they reach young children, and that popular media most be employed to have the desired national impact. These ideas have motivated a major new effort whose central element is a television show for public broadcasting. The television program will feature teams of high school students engaged in solving engineering challenges posed by other kids and adults. Three prototype episodes have been filmed and two of these have undergone focus group testing and analysis. These early tests indicate that the proposed format can engage an audience while reinforcing key lessons about engineering. Collaborative opportunities are currently being sought with engineers, professional societies, and K–12 educators.

An upward trend of psychoactive drug use within the lower grade levels was observed among 616 high school students. Although different patterns of drug use exist between parochial and public high school sophomores, by their junior year the two groups were similar. Over half of the public high school students claimed they take drugs either “for kicks” or “for curiosity”.

Abstract Climate change is often perceived as controversial in the public’s view. One meaningful way scientists can address this problem is to engage with the public to increase understanding of climate change. Attendees of scientific conferences address climate change within meetings yet rarely interact with the public as part of conference attendance. Here, we describe outreach (sending experts into the community) and inreach (bringing the public to a conference) activities at the 2015 Northwest Climate Conference in Idaho that were designed to increase the local community’s understanding of climate change and foster interaction between scientists and the public. Conference attendees volunteered to visit community schools and civic groups to give presentations and engage in a discussion on climate change. We designed a well-attended evening plenary session for the public that featured an experienced speaker who described local climate change impacts important to the community. Local high school students attended the conference, and several were mentored by conference attendees. We reached an estimated 1,000 students and 500 other members of the public in person and many others via advertising and newspaper articles. Keys to our success were local contacts with excellent connections to schools, civic organizations, local government officials, interest groups, and a pool of motivated, enthusiastic conference attendees who were already traveling to the area. We encourage other conference organizers to consider these activities in their future meetings to increase public knowledge of climate change, particularly given the urgency of action needed to limit future climate change and its impacts.

Language is an instrument of communication and thinking. During the development of the scientific disciplines, a separate system of language called scientific language has been formed; language of Physics is also formed and plays an important role in the history of Physics. In the context of Vietnamese mountainous students, fostering scientific language in general and Physic language in particular is very necessary; it contributes to the academic success of students by researching documents on fostering language in scientific context, coordinated with characteristics about language and communication of students in mountainous areas in Vietnam. The article introduces 4 principles to learn the language of Physics and an example of planning lessons in teaching Physics to support students in mountainous areas in Vietnam.

The goal of this research paper is to examine the frequency of use of social media by high school students in Serbia, as well as whether they use the social media to keep themselves informed and adopt informal knowledge, that is, to educate themselves. With regards to this topic, several research goals were set. The respondents were 155 students from “Prva kragujevačka gimnazija” (transl.: The First High School of Kragujevac) and “Prva tehnička škola” (transl.: The First Technical School) in Kragujevac, from 1st to 4th grade. The sample included 86 boys (55.5%) and 69 girls (44.5%). The questionnaire with 13 items was created specifically for this survey and it included the answer choices for the specific phenomena we investigated. Descriptive statistics was used during this research. Research findings suggest that high school students in Serbia spend more and more time on social media, primarily on Facebook (133 out of 155 respondents) which they also see as a source of information. Moreover, 49% of the respondents claimed that they trust this type of information and find it significant in peer-to-peer communication. Although more than a half of the respondents do not adopt role models and idols through social media, 45% of them still said that they have this tendency. Furthermore, this research has also shown that the largest number of respondents express their personal views on social media, two to three times a week.

One Step

Preparation is one step for someone to be mentally feasible and skilful to join and be a part of an activity or a group. Likewise is for senior high school students proposing to go to higher education. One challenge for those prospective university students is the mastery of English - a scientific language. The study aims at assisting the prospective students, at the level of pre-intermediate English skills, ready to continue to higher education by providing an English reading and structure course. The participants are 14 final-level students of St. Paul Minor Seminary. One-group experiment design, with pre-posttest design, is used to perceive the effectiveness of the course. The findings show the improvement only on reading skills. However, the test-result discussion on the structure is held to observe the washback effect on the test performance. The test questions are taken from the English Proficiency Test of Musi Charitas Catholic University.

Egalitarian Attitudes

The authors investigated whether trends in attitudes about gender were consistent with the gender stall primarily occurring in the family domain and examined potential mechanisms associated with changing gender norms. Using data from Monitoring the Future surveys (1976–2015), the authors assessed three components of trends in youth’s beliefs about gender: the marketplace, the family, and mothers’ employment. Findings showed continued increases in egalitarianism from 1976 throughthe mid-1990s across all three dimensions. Thereafter, support for egalitarianism in the public sphere plateaued at high levels, rising support for mothers’ employment persisted at a slower pace, and conventional ideology about gender in families returned. The changing demographic composition of American high school students did not account for the gender attitude trends. Youth’s mothers’ employment and increased education were related to increased egalitarianism. Changes in population averages of mothers’ employment and educational attainment were only weakly associated withincreases in egalitarian attitudes.
