School Start Times

Most teenagers are chronically sleep deprived. One strategy proposed to lengthen adolescent sleep is to delay secondary school start times. This would allow students to wake up later without shifting their bedtime, which is biologically determined by the circadian clock, resulting in a net increase in sleep. So far, there is no objective quantitative data showing that a single intervention such as delaying the school start time significantly increases daily sleep. The Seattle School District delayed the secondary school start time by nearly an hour. We carried out a pre-/post-research study and show that there was an increase in the daily median sleep duration of 34 min, associated with a 4.5% increase in the median grades of the students and an improvement in attendance.

GeoGebra software has an interface that enables the simultaneous operation of two types of representation of function records, algebraic and graphic. This possibility of exploring two types of records matches the idea of the Theory of Semiotics Representation Registers (TRRS), handling and coordination of at least two representations of the same mathematical object, defended by Raymond Duval. Thus, this article aims to understand how the use of GeoGebra software can help high school students in learning exponential function through mobilization, manipulation and coordination of semiotic representations during an interventional activity. Therefore, an intervention instrument composed of seven activities which included the study of the exponential function based on TRRS. The instrument was administered to a group of students first year of high school from public school located in the extreme south of Bahia. The analysis of this instrument was qualitative and revealed that the GeoGebra software can assist students in learning exponential function, since the answers given by the students in the activities indicated that most of the students responded assertively, building knowledge about the mathematical object under study through mobilization, manipulation and coordination of representations and exploitation properties of studied function.

Biological Basis

Students go to school to learn. How much, however, do students understand about the biological basis of this everyday process? Blackwell et al. ( 1 ) demonstrated a correlation between education about learning and academic achievement. Yet there are few studies investigating high school students' conceptions of learning. In this mixed-methods research study, written assessments were administered to 339 high school students in an urban school district after they completed their required biology education, and videotaped interviews were conducted with 15 students. The results indicated that the majority of students know little about the biological basis of learning, even with prompting, and they recall having learned little about it in school. Students appear to believe that people control their own ability to learn, and some have developed personal hypotheses to describe the learning process. On written assessments, 75% of participants demonstrated a nonbiological framework for learning, and, during interviews, 67% of participants revealed misconceptions about the biological basis of learning. Sample quotes of these interviews are included in this report, and the implications of these findings are discussed.

Surprising Finding

A practitioner research study was carried out with 31 students who were enrolled in a course on contemporary Israeli society at a Zionist Jewish high school. As part of a unit designed to introduce students to criticisms against Israel, students watched 3 videos produced by the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement and by university student newspapers. The study assessed whether watching videos of BDS behaviours negatively affected the ways that pro-Israel students learned and thought about Israel. Reflective exercises and interviews revealed that the videos did not harm students’ relationships with the country. Instead, while some students reported feeling intimidated and scared by BDS’ tactics, all 31 students reported that watching the videos was crucial for helping them prepare for life after high school and for understanding the criticisms made against Israel. A surprising finding of the study was that many students shared that having the opportunity to discuss BDS together as a group not only helped them better understand BDS but, more importantly, allowed them to feel less alone by forming a community that banded together through the learning of difficult and upsetting content.Une étude par un praticien en éducation a été menée auprès de 31 étudiants inscrits à un cours sur la société israélienne contemporaine dans une école secondaire juive sioniste. Dans le cadre d’un module conçu pour initier les étudiants aux critiques d’Israël, les étudiants ont regardé 3 vidéos produites par le mouvement Boycott, Désinvestissement et Sanctions (BDS) et par des journaux étudiants universitaires. L’étude a évalué si le visionnement de vidéos qui mettaient en scène des manifestations BDS affectait négativement la manière dont les étudiants pro-israéliens apprenaient et pensaient à propos d’Israël. Des exercices de réflexion et des entretiens ont révélé que les vidéos n’avaient pas nui aux relations des élèves avec le pays. Plutôt, alors que certains étudiants ont déclaré se sentir intimidés et effrayés par les tactiques de BDS, les 31 étudiants ont tous déclaré que regarder les vidéos était crucial pour les aider à se préparer à la vie après le lycée et pour comprendre les critiques dirigées à l’endroit d’Israël. Une découverte surprenante de l’étude est que de nombreux étudiants ont partagé que le fait d’avoir l’opportunité de discuter du mouvement BDS en tant que groupe les a non seulement aidés à mieux comprendre le BDS mais, plus important encore, leur a permis de se sentir moins seuls en formant une communauté qui s’est regroupée tout au long de l’apprentissage de contenu difficile et bouleversant.

The Common

Students’ writing problems have become one of the first and foremost issues in writing classrooms, and to know the common errors which frequently occur on students’ writing papers is usually what the writing teachers have conducted in the classrooms. However, no research study has been conducted at Huynh Man Dat High school to investigate this aspect. The purpose of the current study is to investigate the common written errors on students’ writing essays and their attitudes towards the writing process approach. The target subjects are from grade twelve, Huynh Man Dat (HMD) High School. Data collection was from writing tasks and questionnaires. The study found that the four most common errors frequently occur in students’ writing journals are relating to tenses, collocations, spellings, and verb forms. The findings from an attitude questionnaire indicated that the students expressed positive attitudes towards it and showed a high appreciation for the effects of process writing.

Scientific Images

Arts-integrated science is a tantalizing educational approach that captures the attention of scientific learners through the lighter side of science. This study highlights the findings of a schoolbased applied research study conducted to develop public school students’ curiosity and their aesthetic qualities by exploring scientific knowledge by using photography. This study incorporated photography as a learning aid in STEAM workshops for 386 high school students, including 220 males and 166 females from 19 schools, and tested methods for enhancing the curiosity or interest of students to explore the workshop context more deeply. The analysis of our methods discusses the results using pre- and post-method questionnaires and the evaluations of 816 scientific images captured by the students. The key aim of this research involves cultivating curiosity in students as they analyse captured images, which results in positive outcomes, such as increased engagement in scientific workshops, thereby inspiring them to more thoroughly explore the science behind each image.
