Children tend to develop forms of anxiety that can be associated with school violence. However, the previous scientific literature on anxiety and aggression is scarce. In addition, it has only focused on examining differential relationships between both variables. This study aimed to analyze the relationships between three forms of anxiety (anticipatory anxiety, school-based performance anxiety, and generalized anxiety) and the components of aggression (physical and verbal aggression, anger, and hostility) by adopting a person-centered approach. The sample consisted of 1161 Spanish students from 8 to 11 years old (M = 9.72, SD = 1.14); 46.2% were boys. Informed written consent from the parents or legal guardians was obtained. The Visual Analogue Scale for Anxiety—Revised and the Aggression Questionnaire were used. The latent profile analysis technique identified three profiles of anxious children: Low Anxiety, High School-based Performance Anxiety, and High Anxiety. The High Anxiety group scored significantly higher than the Low Anxiety group in all components of aggression, with effect sizes ranging from moderate to large (d = 0.59 to 0.99). The High Anxiety profile showed significantly higher scores than the high school-based performance anxiety profile only in anger (d = 0.56) and hostility (d = 0.44). The results have relevant implications for practice, since there is evidence that different intervention strategies should be applied according to the risk profile.

Failure in dealing with anxiety-provoking situations and stressors in the school setting may have negative consequences not only on children’s performance, but also on their well-being in the future. This research aimed to examine the relationship of forms of anxiety (anticipatory anxiety, school-based performance anxiety, and generalized anxiety) with sources (teacher interactions, academic stress, peer interactions, and academic self-concept) and manifestations (emotional, behavioral, and physiological) of school-based distress. Specifically, our objectives were to examine the correlations between anxiety and school-based distress and, using a person-centered approach, to verify whether different anxiety profiles differed in their levels of distress. The Visual Analogue Scale for Anxiety-Revised (VAA-R) and the School Situation Survey (SSS) were administered to 756 Spanish students (Mage = 9.6, SD = 1.12); 50.3% were girls. Pearson’s correlation coefficients revealed a positive and significant association between each form of anxiety and each source and manifestation of distress. The latent profile analysis identified three anxiety profiles: High Anxiety, High School-based performance Anxiety, and Low Anxiety. The High Anxiety profile scored significantly higher in all sources and manifestations of distress than the Low Anxiety profile. The High Anxiety profile showed significantly higher scores in peer interactions and emotional and behavioral manifestations of distress than the group High School-based performance Anxiety. Suggestions for intervention strategies according to the risk profile are discussed.

Latent Profile

The present study evaluates high school juniors and seniors ( n = 295) to explore their preference for science as indicated by science motivation, attitude, academic experience, and interest. Latent profile analysis was used to model profiles of preferences for science with a person-centered approach. Then, the impact of self-concept variables was explored and four profiles of science interest were identified. Gender differences were of particular interest due to concerns noted in the literature, and some gender differences were identified in the present study. Covariate analysis indicated vocabulary ability and personality as significantly different for students in the high science interest profile. Implications of these results and future research directions are discussed.

Abstrak. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk (1) mendesain penuntun praktikum kimia SMA berbasis bahan alam, dan (2) mengetahui kelayakan penuntun praktikum kimia SMA berbasis bahan alam. Adapun penelitian ini menggunakan metode research and development (R D) dengan pendekatan kualitatif dekskriptif. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kota Langsa dengan melibatkan tiga SMA Negeri yang ada di kota tersebut yaitu, SMA Negeri 2, SMA Negeri 3, dan SMA Negeri 4 Langsa. Data dalam penelitian ini diperoleh melalui teknik pengumpulan data dokumentasi, wawancara, dan angket. Teknik analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan rumus persentase dan diinterpretasikan untuk mengetahui validitas dan kelayakan penuntun praktikum kimia SMA berbasis bahan alam. Penelitian ini menghasilkan produk tepat guna berupa penuntun praktikum kimia SMA berbasis bahan alam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penuntun praktikum kimia SMA berbasis bahan alam yang telah didesain valid dan layak digunakan siswa SMA kelas XI. Persentase skor validitas diperoleh 72,3% dan persentase skor kelayakan diperoleh 72,7%. Hasil penelitian ini bermanfaat untuk menambah pengetahuan dan pengalaman tentang desain penuntun praktikum kimia, sebagai dasar untuk penelitian lebih lanjut untuk meningkatkan dan menambah wawasan bagi peneliti dalam mengembangkan ilmu pendidikan khususnya bagi guru mata pelajaran kimia.Kata Kunci: Penuntun Praktikum, Bahan Alam, Kimia, Kurikulum 2013 Abstract. The purpose of this research is to (1) design the guidance of chemistry practicum for SMA, and (2) to know the feasibility of guidance of chemistry based on natural materials for SMA. The research uses research and development (R D) method with qualitative approach dekskriptif. This research was conducted in Langsa City involving three SMA Negeri that exist in the city that is, SMA Negeri 2, SMA Negeri 3, and SMA Negeri 4 Langsa. The data in this study is obtained through data collection techniques documentation, interviews, and questionnaires. The data analysis technique is done by using percentage formula and interpreted to know the validity and feasibility of guidance of chemistry based on natural materials for SMA. This research produces the right product in the form of guidance of chemistry based on natural materials for SMA. The results showed that the guides of chemistry labs of high school based on natural materials that have been designed valid and proper use of high school students class XI. The percentage of validity score was obtained 72.3% and the percentage of eligibility score was 72.7%. The results of this research is useful to increase knowledge and experience about the chemistry lab design guide, as a basis for further research to increase and increase insight for researchers in developing science education especially for chemistry subject teachers.Keywords: Practical Guide, Natural Materials, Chemistry, Curriculum 2013

Study Participants

The rise of technology has increased risks such as problematic internet use or cyberbullying. Data show that there is problematic use of the internet, which has important repercussions academically, personally, socially and for health. The objective of this study was to identify different profiles that vary according to intra- and interpersonal conflicts related to internet use. In addition, this study aimed to examine whether there are significant differences in bullying and cyberbullying among adolescents with a conflict related to internet use. The study participants were 810 students of Compulsory Secondary Education (M = 13.99, SD = 1.32). The Questionnaire on School Violence and the Questionnaire of Experiences Related to Internet was use. The latent profile analysis identified four different types of conflicts related to internet use: (a) high levels in intra- and interpersonal conflicts; (b) low levels intra- and interpersonal conflicts; (c) moderate intra- and interpersonal conflicts and (d) very high levels in intra- and interpersonal conflicts. The results of the study indicated that there were significant differences in the manifestations of school violence between the profiles. This study assists in educational programs to prevent conflicts related to internet use and school violence through emotional adjustment.
