This survey research is the first large-scale study to provide a description of short-term overseas study programs implemented by private junior high schools in Tokyo. In addition to fundamental quantitative parameters, this comprehensive survey returned descriptive data from 84% of the private junior high schools in the Tokyo region with programs in 2001 and 2002. This descriptive data included types and details of activities undertaken, program and activity objectives, integration between the overseas study programs and school curricula, follow-up activities, and program evaluation. The survey revealed several innovative programs and activities implemented by these schools and identified areas that might benefit from further research. この調査研究は東京の私立中学校が行っている短期海外研修プログラムについて詳しく説明するものである。この広範囲に渡る調査は、2001年及び2002年における東京地域にある、プログラムを実施している私立中学校の84%から得た、基本的な量的パラメーターの他に、実施された活動のタイプや詳細、プログラムや活動の目的、海外研修プログラムと学校のカリキュラムの調整、追跡活動、そしてプログラムの評価に関する質的なデータに依るものである。この調査により、幾つかの革新的なプログラムや活動が明らかとなり、更なる研究価値の在る分野が確認された。

Examination of the music opportunities available to students in the junior high schools of the early twentieth century lends historical perspective to current challenges facing middle level music educators. This article describes the specific music offerings at Lincoln Junior High School in Minneapolis, Minnesota, from the school opening in 1923 to 1940, when financial challenges forced the reorganization of the music program. In many ways, the music curriculum at Lincoln Junior High School in Minneapolis was exemplary of the music experiences found in other junior high schools. The required curriculum was based on the general music model of the elementary school and included music appreciation and a strong emphasis on the development of music reading skills. Extracurricular “clubs” provided performance opportunities for young adolescent musicians. Choruses focused on preparing large-scale productions such as operettas and musicals, while instrumental groups participated in contests and festivals. Performances for school assemblies and civic groups provide evidence of the importance of connections to the community for junior high schools. The formation of the Girls’ Band at Lincoln in 1924 was unusual. In the absence of direct evidence, I postulate possible explanations for the founding of this unique ensemble.

Science is closely related to nature, so the natural environment is one of the most important sources of learning both as means and an object. The particular study aimed to discuss the strategy of using and implementing the natural environment as a learning source for science in junior high schools. The results found out that the use of the natural environment as a learning source for science can be pursued through fieldwork, bringing the environment into the classroom, or also making the school science parks. Using the natural environment as a learning source for science requires careful preparation and planning from the teacher. The learning implementation performed in 3 main stages; preparation, implementation, and follow-up. Through the proper implementation of these stages, various benefits achieved either for students or teachers.

The program for strengthening character education is only carried out in several pilot schools so that there is not much information available to what extent character education has actually been carried out in other schools, especially in non-piloting schools. This study aimed to measure the feasibility of strengthening character education in non-piloting schools. The population in this quantitative descriptive study was teachers at junior high school in Malang. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The subjects involved in this study were six teachers of Junior High Schools 20 of Malang, Junior High Schools 27 of Malang, and Muhammadiyah 1 Junior High School. Data collection used questionnaires and analysed descriptively statistically. The results of the study showed that the three schools have implemented character strengthening programs seen from the ten assessment components i.e. pre-assesment, programme socialization, vision, programme design, class-based implementing, school culture strengthening, social partisipation, core value implementing, and evaluation. These results indicated that character strengthening has become a positive habit but not yet optimal. The results of this study can be used as a basis for identifying appropriate follow-up steps for improving achievement of character strengthening in schools.

The focus of this research is to design geometry learning mediain junior high schools based on RME and integrated with Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) using 3D Pageflip Proffesional,and to explain quality of the learning media. In the process of design and development of this media used is the ADDIE development model which begins with the stages analysis, design, development, and  carried out an evaluation in each stages. Implementation stages will be continued in the following years research. This research resulted in a product in the form of geometry learning media in junior high schools especially eight grade according to purpose. Based on the validity test and practicality test the results obtained from the validation by material experts and media design experts were 4.09 namely 81.8% and 4.21 or 84.2%.Based on the criteria for the validity of the instrument, the criteria for "very valid" were obtained. And the practicality results, namely the results of teacher response questionnaire obtained an average of 4.26 or 85.19%, and the results of student questionnaire responses were 4.07 or 81.4%. Then based on the percentage criteria of practicality of the instrument, it is found that the criteria are very practical and the media can be implemented with minor revisions.

As the American musical has come of age and matured with continuing vitality, it has developed not just one canon but many. Various performing canons are tailored to specific cultural settings, reflecting venue, expected audiences, available performers, or other factors. There exist separate canons for high schools interested in getting lots of bodies on stage, for community theaters on a budget with a stable of local stars vying for plum roles, for church groups or junior high schools more careful with subject matter, or for college groups looking for something far enough out there to satisfy their rebellious urges. And finally, there exist a critical canon and a teaching canon, for which musicals are chosen in part according to the larger historical and social narratives they support. This chapter is paired with Micaela Baranello’s “Viennese operetta canon formation and the journey to prestige.”
