Point Of Departure

In the present study, the authors point of departure is the control crisis of science whose resolution requires radical social innovation. The author then shows that the only possible way for achieving this is the partial fusion of certain portions of scientific activity with the system of public education, by means of organizing scientists, teachers, as well as middle and high-school students into hybrid, knowledge producing mega-machines. The author shall subsequently argue that doing so will at the same time bring about a pragmatic shift in public education, for which professionals in the field of pedagogy have long been ready in principle and in theory. As a final result we shall see the emergence of science and public instruction tailored to the global system level, within the framework of the information society.

This chapter explores the value of cultural capital in the parental involvement of African American parents of disabled high school students. The traditional approach of parental involvement is widely implemented across public education. The framework for parental involvement is outdated and racially one-sided, which causes the contributions of African American parents to be devalued by their child's school. This chapter focuses on a qualitative study of five African American mothers of disabled high school students and how they engage with their children's public education. The participants provide narrative examples of their cultural capital and they have used it to help benefit their child's education. This implies the need to revise the image of parental involvement to one that is a more diverse inclusionary model, which will help schools better support the academic achievement of students from culturally and linguistically diverse families.

The Impact

Apis mellifera (honeybees) are a well-established model for the study of learning and cognition. A robust conditioning protocol, the olfactory conditioning of the proboscis extension response (PER), provides a powerful but straightforward method to examine the impact of varying stimuli on learning performance. Herein, we provide a protocol that leverages PER for classroom-based community or student engagement. Specifically, we detail how a class of high school students, as part of the Ryukyu Girls Outreach Program, examined the effects of caffeine and dopamine on learning performance in honeybees. Using a modified version of the PER conditioning protocol, they demonstrated that caffeine, but not dopamine, significantly reduced the number of trials required for a successful conditioning response. In addition to providing an engaging and educational scientific activity, it could be employed, with careful oversight, to garner considerable reliable data examining the effects of varying stimuli on honeybee learning.

Formal Science

Science Research is a three-year program that offers gifted students the opportunity to journey into scientific research under the apprenticeship of a research mentor, where they can gain an understanding of the underpinnings of modern scientific research – an opportunity that most high school students do not encounter in their formal science coursework. Come learn about this program, which skillfully marries the ideas of experiential learning and social experience, which is supported and structured by classroom learning. The talk will include information about the classroom course, which serves as a support system for the literacy skills needed to successfully design an original project, independently. In addition, an example of a high school crystallography partnership project will be presented. "Senior scientists (e.g., teachers, researchers, etc.) and students working together in a mutual learning process is the strongest model for student retention and personal involvement in science. Furthermore, there is no better way to excite students and to insure their continued involvement in scientific pursuits than to give them individualized active engagement and ownership of part of a creative scientific activity at an early stage in their development." Science Research provides a unique opportunity for students to join a professional laboratory where advanced skills and critical thinking strategies are developed with concomitant support from their school in the development of college-level scientific learning skills and an understanding of the true meaning of scientific inquiry.

Less Zainichi youth are opting for Chosŏn (i.e. pro-DPRK) schools, partially because of integration into Japanese society and the wider career options that Japanese public education offers. Nevertheless, Chosŏn schools continue to provide universal education in Korean to nurture “proud and proper Koreans.” To this end, Korean schools aim to connect the students to their “homeland”: The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Participant observation of school trips to the DPRK reveals what the “homeland” means to the students and how it relates to the schools’ educational goal. Vis-à-vis the rampant xenophobia in Japan, the schools’ practices carry an urgency that cannot be ignored.

Background: The article describes the issue of theoretical proof and experimental testing of the developed approach to optimization of fostering young generations of scientists and optimizing their individual career path. Aims: The aim of the article was to analyze the efficacy of the program of integration of high school students of medical school classes into the global system of training of young scientists. Materials and methods: The general scientific methods were used, such as analysis and synthesis, field experiment and social research, which included survey conduction, education and control testing of high school students of medical preprofessional classes. Results: Authors revealed the efficacy of implemented model of organization of educational process, which was based on the integration of high school students of medical classes into the global system of researchers training and which created a specialized environment for rapid individual professional development. Conclusions: The conducted research proved the efficacy of the personalized approach to gradual teaching of basic research competencies.

Senior High School Students

Learning activities that encourage students to think logically and to discover valid modes of reasoning are receiving increased attention in the elementary mathematics curriculum. Several excellent games through which children learn to ask good questions and to make efficient use of available information have been described in the Arithmetic Teacher (Gessel et al. 1972, Aichele 1972). A concrete setting for a variety of experiences for developing principles of logical reasoning is provided by a set of attribute blocks (Dienes and Golding 1966). In this article a guessing-type game based on these materials is described. While the game in its simplest form can be played and enjoyed by children in the primary grades, it can also be used as a point of departure for worthwhile activities for junior and senior high school students.
