Explicit Teaching

This chapter describes how the explicit teaching of an argumentative schema Toulmin argumentative process (TAP) allows the exploration of students' scientific reasoning according to the cognitive model of science (CMS) when immersed in a kinematic activity called The walking man. A qualitative methodology was implemented to acquire, explore, and analyze two sources of data that were recollected from students discourse and a poster generated during the implementation of a kinematic activity. The results found show that it is possible to model students' scientific reasoning after the explicit teaching of TAP and that it also acts as a scaffolding resource for students to promote scientific reasoning cognitive abilities such as observation, data collection, use of representations (tabular, graphical and mathematical equation), creation, analysis and discussion of a kinematic model of the phenomena.

Franklin County

While national surveillance studies have stratified high school students’ health behavior outcomes, few ecological data sets have been explored, collected, and analyzed on the unique health problems of minority children. An area for which limited data on minority youth has been collected is Franklin County, home of the state capital of Kentucky. In the current study, we use baseline data collected in 2015 from students attending two high schools that were sites for Kentucky State University’s Youth Empowerment Project. We hypothesize that youth who reside in Franklin County would report lower maladjusted behaviors than their national and statewide counterparts in the same year of observation. Data analyses confirm that compared to their national- and state-level counterparts, Franklin County high school students were less likely to report riding with a driver who had been drinking alcohol, engaging in sexual intercourse, drinking alcohol before sexual intercourse, and experiencing non-condom use when engaged in sexual intercourse, forced sexual intercourse, dating violence, cyber bullying, suicidal ideation, and drug use. These findings suggest that Franklin County high school students may be exposed to environmental variables that may be preventive to maladjusted behaviors.

Engineering Projects

A major goal in Engineering training in the U.S. is to continue to both grow and diversify the field. Project- and service-based forms of experiential, problem-based learning are often implemented with this as a goal, and Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) High is one of the more well-regarded and widely implemented. Yet, the evidence based on if and how participation in such programs shapes student intentions and commitment to STEM pathways is currently limited, most especially for pre-college programming. This study asks: How do high school students’ engineering mindsets and their views of engineering/engineers change as they participate in project–service learning (as implemented through an EPICS High curriculum)? This study employed a mixed method design, combining pre- and post-test survey data that were collected from 259 matched students (63% minority, 43% women) enrolling in EPICS High (total of 536 completed pre-tests, 375 completed post-tests) alongside systematic ethnographic analysis of participant observation data conducted in the same 13 socioeconomically diverse schools over a two-year period. Statistical analyses showed that participants score highly on engineering-related concepts and attitudes at both pre- and post-test. These did not change significantly as a result of participation. However, we detected nuanced but potentially important changes in student perspectives and meaning, such as shifting perceptions of engineering and gaining key transversal skills. The value of participation to participants was connected to changes in the meaning of commitments to pursue engineering/STEM.

The article is devoted to the role of increase of junior schoolchildren’s cognitive activity as an important condition for the development of cognitive abilities of  learners.  Psycho-pedagogical  support  should  be  focused  on  the  development of cognitive functions of junior schoolchildren, and psychologists and parents should be involved in this process, as well as the teachers. Traditionally, psycho-pedagogical support at primary school focuses on the child's adaptation to the new educational environment.  We  consider  that  a  child  needs  the  same  support  in  the  process of mastering  the  curriculum.  There  is  no  true  support  without  an  emotional involvement and empathy, and as a result cognitive activity of a child might suffer greatly. It was proven by empirical results obtained in an ordinary school, where no innovative teaching methods are used. At the end of primary school pupils have a significantly reduced motivation, teachers express no serious interest in problems of junior high school students. Not entirely satisfactory educational environment also could not provide a positive influence on the development of cognitive sphere.

This study were carried out using quasi experimental method with pretest-posttest control group design and two XI MIA classes as sample. The result showed that there were an impact of group investigation learning model with multi representation on the topik of optical devices on scientific reasoning and <em>problem solving</em> skill of high school students. The mean value of scientific reasoning and <em>problem solving</em> ability of experimental class students who learned by group investigation learning model with multi representation is higher than control class students who learned by group investigation learning model.</p><strong>Abstrak</strong>: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pembelajaran <em>group investigation </em>dengan multi representasi pada topik alat-alat optik terhadap kemampuan penalaran ilmiah dan kemampuan <em>problem solving</em> siswa SMA.

To provide educational and learning services to students during the Covid-19 Pandemic, learning is carried out by learning from home. The disparity in learning achievements, especially related to attitude competencies, is strongly experienced during learning from home. This study aims to integrate attitude values through learning with Ki Hajar Dewantara’s scaffolding concept comprising Identifying, Imitating, Developing, Disseminating respectively. This scaffolding is applied to strengthen the character of junior high school students in Yogyakarta Special Province to become Pancasila Students. This is a Research and Development study which applies a qualitative approach. Respondents to this study were teachers, principals, students, parents and junior high school supervisors in this province. Data were collected using focus group discussion, interview, observation.. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman models which comprised data reduction, data display and inference stages. The results of this study is a character education strengthening model during learning from home applying Ki Hajar Dewantara’s scaffolding concept. This model contributes to policy making of character education strengthening during the learning from home online.

It becomes difficult for students living in the interactive world, the world of technology, to adequately perceive the curriculum in a standard format. Thanks to the creation of new, modern methods of teaching and presenting information, it is possible to approach the educational process at a different level. The object of the research is the features of designing for students to increase motivation as well as creative and cognitive abilities and the results of their educational activities. The methodological basis of the research is the following: statement of the problem, analysis of existing solutions, choice of the topic of graphic support and its implementation for secondary and high school students, description of the developed product, and research results

Special Education Placement

Using qualitative methodology, this study investigated the effects of special education placement from the perspectives of nine high school students receiving learning disabilities services in separate classrooms. Three topics were investigated: peer acceptance, perceptions of self, and perceived efficacy of learning disabilities programs. Results indicated that students did not view their special education experiences as either socially or academically efficacious. Nevertheless, they valued the services because separate settings had provided means to avoid an unresponsive general education system. Students viewed the movement for integration of general and special education services as unrealistic. They perceived existent general education as unable and unwilling to adapt to individual student needs.
