Drone technology is further increasing in popularity and demand and drone education is already implemented in certain college courses. This paper presents a virtual simulation module that will cater to the needs of the senior high school level and that would lead to a module that is essentially less technical and more interactive. The virtual simulations module will be an integrated website which contains fundamental information on what a drone is and how to operate one. It will also incorporate an interactive game simulation wherein the drone model created from 3D printing will be integrated in. To verify the achievement of the goals of this paper, the researchers will conduct a survey among a randomized pool of senior high school students, which will include a pre and post-test about the module. Through this surveys that the participants answered, the researchers used t-test methodology to conclude that the module is indeed effective on delivering the information to the students with up to 90% positive response about the module. Additionally, the researchers have taken into account the preferences and suggestions of the students who participated.

AbstractThe purpose of this paper was to examine the relationships of homosexual male students at the senior high school level and their loneliness using parental bonding attitude as a moderating factor. An amount of 127 homosexual male senior high school students in Taiwan is studied. The Pearson correlation analysis and the hierarchical regression analysis are adapted to examine two proposed hypotheses. Based on the results, homosexual male senior high school students in both hyper-masculine and feminine gender roles are found to feel loneliness, but levels of loneliness of those who possess hyper-masculine gender role are relatively lower than those in a feminine role. In addition, the levels of loneliness of homosexual male senior high school students could be negatively affected by parental bonding attitudes (Care). Recommendations and suggestions for parents as well as teachers of homosexual senior high school male students and future studies are underscored at the end of this article.

This study explored the variance in ocean literacy accounted for by student and school levels and examined the influence of these two predictors on senior high school students’ ocean literacy using a hierarchical linear model. Data were collected from 1944 students from 99 schools and used to construct the two-level hierarchical linear model. The results indicated that the variance in ocean literacy accounted for by students was larger than that accounted for by schools; approximately a quarter of the total variance in ocean literacy was accounted for by schools. At the student level, attitude toward the ocean and frequency of reading ocean-themed books or magazines were predictors of ocean literacy, whereas at the school level, school region and location were significant influential factors. This study’s results have significance for policy-making regarding ocean literacy improvement.

Cultural elements play an essential role in learning a foreign language; thus, it is unavoidable that EFL (English Foreign Language) textbooks carry cultural elements. This study was framed with qualitative research and aim to explore the presence of intangible, tangible cultural heritage in the visual materials (painting, photography, drawing, digital drawing) and to examine their distribution according to their types. The data to be analyzed was obtained from two textbooks for senior high school students entitled English Skills for Better Future for grade tenth and eleventh in senior high school. Content analysis was applied to analyze types of visual materials that present cultural heritage. The result showed that 163 visuals material were determined as 84 photos, 14 digital drawings, nine brochures, 35 advertisements, four flyers, nine forms, 16 proverbs, and one riddle. Cultural bias and stereotypes have not been detected in the images presented in both textbooks with the same title for 10th and 11th grade students in senior high school. The images presented are suitable for students at the senior high school level. Visual has an aesthetic value and aims to bring students to know the various Indonesian culture elements presented in these textbooks. Teachers and students who use books published by PT Grafindo Medika Pratama as a learning resource, this study might help in mapping the type of culture presented in the textbooks.Keywords: Intangible Cultural Heritage, Tangible Cultural Heritage, Natural Heritage, English Textbook

Significant Difference

Writing is one of the four skills taught in the school which is used as communication in daily life. It is considered as a difficult subject by the eleventh grade of the senior high school students because of the limitation of the time provided and some aspects of language to be considered. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to find out whether or not there was a significant difference in students’ writing achievement of persuasive text between the students who were taught by using Self-Regulated Strategy Development and that of those who were not. By conducting a quasi-experimental investigation at senior high school level in South Sumatera, Indonesia, two classes consisting of thirty students in each class at SMA Negeri 1 Kandis were chosen as the samples by using purposive sampling method. To analyze the data, the t-test was used. The result findings showed that t-obtained (3.29) was higher than t-table (2.0017) at the significance level of p-value was lower than 0.05. It indicated that there was a significant difference in students’ writing achievement of writing persuasive text between the students who were taught by using Self-Regulated Strategy Development and that of those who were not. The students who were taught by using Self-Regulated Strategy Development had better improvement in their writing persuasive text because the students could write the persuasive text well based on the Self-Regulated Strategy Development which applied POW (pick, organize, write)  and TREE  (topic, reasons, explanation, ending).

The MOS Battery of 8 tests was administered to a sample of junior high school students along with the DAT Battery also consisting of 8 tests. The test-taking time for the MOS Battery is 42 min.; for the DAT Battery, it is 186 min. Multiple regression equations and multiple correlation coefficients were calculated for both batteries in predicting the final marks in Grades 8 and 9 of 88 male and 65 female students. The results, which were similar to those obtained in an earlier study conducted at the senior high school level, revealed that both batteries are essentially equally valid predictors of success in the basic academic courses of English, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. A difference in the results for the junior high school samples and senior high school samples of the previous investigation was noted in that memory for facts as measured by the MOS Memory Test and knowledge of good English Usage as measured by the DAT Sentence Test appear to influence the final grades of junior high school students more than they do those of the senior high school students.

Autonomy in learning is an ability required by each individual to cope all life challenges. A person with higher learning autonomy could study better and is capable of observing, evaluating and managing his study effectively and efficiently, and saving the time to accomplish given tasks. However, students’ learning autonomy (SLA) has in fact not yet well-developed up to senior high school level. Generative learning (GL) is considered able to elicit the development of SLA. This research aims to examine students’ autonomy in learning through the implementation of GL. The type of this research is quasi experiment with pretest and posttest control group design. The research used a set of learning autonomy scales as its instrument. The research result shows that GL could better enhance SLA compared to conventional learning; perceived from a whole: 0.58 > 0.51, perceived from the school category: 0.65 > 0.58 (superior), 0.57 > 0.51 (moderate), 0.51 > 0.44 (low) and students’ early mathematics skill (EMS): 0.74 > 0.69 (high), 0.60 > 0.54 (medium), 0.35 > 0.31 (low). Both control and experimental classes have moderate learning autonomy improvement. Meanwhile, in terms of EMS, those obtaining GL treatment improved moderately, and the control class has a poor increase.

Quite early in a student's mathematical study, he is introduced to the idea of commutativity. Initially the concern is primarily with the arithmetic operations, and in most instances the study of this property terminates there. In this article, we incorporate some ideas typically taught at the high school level (linear functions and composition of functions) to investigate the notion of commutativity in yet another setting. Of perhaps even greater interest than the main result of this paper is the strategy used to arrive at the original conjecture. Polya has written extensively about such strategies1, and the authors believe that the material can be easily presented to senior high school students with a view to illutrating how certain s trategies are used in the cretttion of a mathematical theorem.

Molecular genetics, a key concept in biology, is found to be very difficult for students at the senior high school level. A situation largely blamed on teachers' instructional approaches. Since the Relating, Experiencing, Applying, Cooperating and Transferring (REACT) strategy is reported to be an effective pedagogical approach for improving students' understanding of science concepts, in this paper, we sought to explore its effectiveness on Senior High School students' achievement in molecular genetics in Ghana. To do this, the embedded mixed methods research design was employed. Two intact biology classes selected through simple random sampling were assigned as experimental and control groups and taught with the REACT strategy and the conventional approach respectively. Quantitative data were obtained with pre-test-post-test control group design and analysed with Independent sample t-test and ANOVA. The qualitative data on students’ perception of learning with the REACT strategy was obtained through interviews and analysed thematically. The findings showed that the REACT strategy was more effective for teaching molecular genetic compared with the conventional approach. Although REACT could not bridge the gap between low and high achievers in that group, the performance of low achievers in the REACT group was at par with high achievers in the conventional group. Students perceived the opportunity to search and share information as well as relate new concepts to prior learning provided by the REACT strategy to have facilitated their understanding of concepts in molecular genetics. It is recommended that biology teachers use the REACT strategy to teach concepts students find problematic.
