This case study aimed to apply, adapt and then evaluate a didactic approach to combat fake news, through scientific literacy in the context of emergency remote education (ERE) with a focus on COVID-19. For this, virtual workshops were held in 2020 with high school students from two public schools in the state of Maranhão, Brazil. All the ethical guidelines of Resolution CNS 510/2016 were followed. In the workshops, the students were exposed to the situation-problem of differentiating fake news from reliable news by identifying typical characteristics of either type of information. There were 18 characteristics for fake news and 18 characteristics for reliable news, of which 50% and 83.3% are unpublished, respectively. In addition, four fake news features and four reliable news features were observed by the students exclusively related to COVID-19. Thus, the adaptation to ERE that is proposed in the present study proved effective and could subsidize any work that aims to prepare students to better understand what is true and what is untrue in the world of the Internet, especially regards to in social media.

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo despertar no aluno da educação básica, especialmente do ensino médio, a melhor compreensão da química, enquanto ciência experimental, pela realização de aulas práticas e o registro em vídeo desses experimentos. Para a maioria dos estudantes, a química é reconhecida como uma disciplina de difícil compreensão, que não desperta o interesse quanto à assimilação dos conteúdos, o que vem acarretando resultados negativos em relação à repetência e abandono por parte de uma grande quantidade de alunos matriculados na rede pública do nosso estado. Dessa forma, este trabalho apresenta a química de uma maneira diferente: aplicada, contextualizada, trabalhada pelo aluno, através de experimentos simples, rápidos, gravadas em vídeos para futuras postagens na internet ou para apresentação em sala de aula aos demais alunos da série.Palavras-chave: Química. Ensino médio. Experimentos.VIDEO PRODUCTION AS AN EDUCATION TOOL FOR HIGH SCHOOL CHEMISTRY CLASSESAbstract: This work aims at arousing in students of basic education, especially in high school students, a better understanding of chemistry as an experimental science, by conducting practical classes and video recording of those experiments. For most students, chemistry is recognized as a subject of difficult understanding, that does not arouse interest on the assimilation of the contents, which has been causing negative results regarding failure and abandonment by a large number of students enrolled in public schools of Maranhão State. Thus, this paper presents chemistry in a different way: applied, contextualized, worked by the student through simple experiments, fast, and recorded on video for future posts on the internet or for presentation in classrooms to other students in the grade.Keywords: Chemistry.

Literacy skill is needed in the 21st century learning, whereas research about the implementation of Problem Based Learning-Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (PBL-STEM) to develop students’ ability of scientific literacy is still limited. This research purposed to compare students’ scientific literacy competencies domain improvement through PBL-STEM in the topic of optical instrument. The quasi-experiment non-equivalent group design involved the students of Senior High School 9 Malang Indonesia in three classes called PBL-STEM, PBL, and control class. PBL-STEM class made three products, which were camera obscura, magnifier, and binoculars, which were presented with posters and reports. The PBL class, on the other hand, only made binoculars and presented their work briefly. Scientific Literacy Ability Test was used with 0.88 Cronbach’s alpha reliability. Data analysis with one-way ANOVA, post hoc Tukey test, N-gain, and Cohen’s effect size was conducted. The result showed that three classes had a significantly different ability in scientific literacy. Scientific literacy competencies domain of PBL-STEM was the highest, while PBL class is higher than the control class. The improvement of both PBL-STEM and PBL belonged in medium category, whereas the improvement in the control class was in low category. The effect of the operational implementation of PBL-STEM and PBL pair yielded large result, and both PBL-STEM and control and PBL and control pairs yielded very large category in the improvement of students’ scientific literacy.

In this fast paced world, computer and internet use have automatically become an essential part of metropolitan life. It is easy for those who were born in the older generation to notice the impact of computers and internet on themselves, but what about this young generation of Thai teenagers who are growing up in a computerized generation? What computer-related behavioral aspects do these teenagers find to be unique for their generation? In seeking the answer to this question, this study aims to explore six different areas. Topics of discussion concern: (1) Thai teenagers define their computerized generation; (2) The computerized generation’s daily life activities; (3) The symbolic meanings of computers and the feelings of being in cyberspace; (4) Characteristics and concepts Thai teenagers use to identify as computer and internet-related influences on their generation; (5) Responding to common false myths concerning teenagers and computer use in Thai society; (6) Foreseeing their future living with computers and advance technologies. Data were collected from among sixty male and female high school students, age 16-19, in four different public schools in Bangkok. Anthropological research methods, namely participant observation, survey questionnaire, and in-depth interviews were utilized in order to achieve these study objectives.

In the world of K–12 education, the growing numbers of dropouts are a major concern. This article examines the dropout rates of Chinese and Vietnamese high school students. Using logistic regression analysis, this article examines the influence of ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic status (SES) on dropout rates. The distinct contribution of this analysis lies within the intraethnic comparisons within the Asian American student population and its use of longitudinal data. The results of the study support existing research that gender and SES are related to dropout rates. Moreover, an interesting interaction between ethnicity and SES exists.
