This study was to measure the Van Hiele’s levels of geometric thinking attained by Ghanaian Junior High School Form 3 (JHS 3) students before writing the BECE. A quantitative research approach was employed in the study and a sample of 105 students randomly selected from the four schools. The results showed that 22 students (20.95%) of the students could not attain any VHG level at all, that means they were in level 0. 65 students (61.91%) of the students attained Van Hiele’s level 1, 17 (16.19%) reached level 2, and only 1 (0.95%) reached level 3. An independent t-test yielded no statistically significant difference between public and private school students in their geometric thinking levels t(103) = 0.926, p > 0.05. The findings indicated that most of the Ghanaian JHS graduates do not attain satisfactory levels of VHGT. Recommendations are made for improving the teaching of geometry.

Objective We investigated scoliosis incidence among junior high school students in Zhongshan city, Guangdong, China and the expression of miR-30e among those with scoliosis. Methods A total 41,258 students were included. From July 2015 to December 2017, all students underwent screening including routine observation of the standing and sitting posture, Adam's forward bend test, dorsal tilt angle measurement, and X-ray examination. Age, sex, height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) were recorded. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to assess miR-30e expression among students with scoliosis and 200 healthy students. Results Overall, 743 students were diagnosed with scoliosis, with an incidence rate of 1.80%. A total 646 (86.9%) students were diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis, 38 (5.1%) with congenital scoliosis, and 59 (7.9%) with other scoliosis types. Compared with healthy students, height was significantly greater whereas weight and BMI were significantly lower among students with scoliosis, and expression of miR-30e was significantly lower. However, no significant difference was found in height, weight, BMI, and mean Cobb angle between high/low miR-30e groups. Conclusion The incidence rate for scoliosis was 1.80%, Compared with healthy students, those with scoliosis were taller, had lower weight and BMI, and miR-30e expression was significantly downregulated.

Stage Stage

According to Van Hiele, in understanding geometry, students need to understand five stages, namely stage 1 (introduction stage), stage 2 (analysis stage), stage 3 (sequencing stage), stage 4 (deduction stage), and stage 5 (accuracy stage). Each student has different geometric thinking abilities. This study aims to examine the geometric abilities of junior high school students in the material of flat-sided geometry according to Van Hiele's Theory. This research belongs to the type of qualitative research with a case study design. It was conducted at three schools in Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia. The subjects were students of SMP Negeri 1 Padang, SMP Negeri 7 Padang, and SMP Negeri 25 Padang. Data collection was carried out using tests, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out with the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and data verification or drawing conclusions. The data originality technique was carried out with the triangulation technique, where the researcher compared the test data with the results of interviews with students. Of the 94 students (male = 38, female 56) tested based on the geometric thinking level of Van Hiele Theory, 92.55% of the students reached the Van Hiele thinking stage at the visualization level. As many as 45.74% of students reached the level of geometric analysis, and 6.38% of students reached the level of abstraction. For the level of deduction and accuracy, no one has been able to solve the problem. The results obtained in this study are that most students are still at stages 1 and 2, unlike van Hiele's opinion, which revealed that the level of geometric thinking for junior high school students is at level 3. According to the study results, it is essential to carry out further checks on the level of geometric thinking of junior high school students in other areas.

Action Research Approach

The Virtue Existential Career Model (VEC) is a Chinese career development model based on the Classic of Changes. It is designed to supplement the person-environment fit paradigm of Taiwan's 12-Year Basic Education for junior high school students. We adopted an action research approach with two parts, reflection-on-action and critical-emancipatory. An easy-to-use VEC career curriculum and a career information system (Career Genesis; CG) were developed by a team of staff members from government agencies (Tainan Department of Education and Student Counseling Centers), junior high schools, and the Chinese Career Research Center of National Changhua University of Education, Taiwan. The outcome of this project was strong on fostering interconnectedness. Implementing our VEC curriculum and CG to 30 junior high school students received statistically significant immediate increases in resilience, adaptation, and liking of career decision. The feedback and reflections suggest that mandating, attracting, and simplifying are useful strategies to promote our VEC model as well as to facilitate social change and create a multiple-win situation for all parties involved. This approach also follows the tao (道) of the Classic of Changes to provide new knowledge.

This research aimed to see if learning by teaching (LBT) could really be implemented in classrooms. This case study intended to discover if LBT was applicable to teach tenses. This quantitative research involved 50 students from the two of 8th grade classes in one junior high school in Jakarta, one of which acted as the control group and the other one as the experimental group. This research focused on the learning of five tenses, namely the simple present tense, the simple past tense, the simple future tense, the simple present continuous tense, and the simple present perfect tense. A pre-test was employed before the research started and after the treatment had been given to the experimental group, a post-test was given a week after, and another post-test was given three months later. The results show that LBT helps the subjects learn better. Moreover, they also remember their materials longer. Therefore, LBT can be a good student-centered activity which has been proven successful.

Background: We performed an on-site cancer prevention educational program by oncologists focusing on all cancer types, and with emphasis on oral cancer. The program has been long-term supported by charity organizations of the Taiwan Total Cancer Care Foundation, and the Taiwan Cancer Total Care Information Society. Aim: To have a better understanding for cancer-related risk behaviors of our junior high school students in Taiwan, we performed a self-reported questionnaire survey before each educational activity. Methods: The questionnaire survey mainly focused on 3 cancer-related risk behaviors CBA [cigarette smoking (C), betel-nut chewing (B), alcohol drinking (A)], regarding the percentage of “frequent” CBA consumption, “ever-experience” of cancer-related risk behavior, starting time of risk behavior, sources of CBA, and existence of risk behavior among their parents/senior family members. Results: During 2016, 4,589 junior high school students received our on-site educational program whose questionnaires are valid for analysis. Among them, 4,097 and 492 students are from western and eastern towns. Taiwan is geographically divided by the high-altitude Central Mountains into western and eastern towns. Western towns are relatively more urban, while eastern towns are more rural in both industrial and economic development. Questionnaires from 7th, 8th, 9th grade of junior high school students represent 37.1%, 44.0%, and 18.9%. The average body mass index (BMI) is 20.68 and 21.47 in western and eastern towns, respectively. The average BMI of boy students between western & eastern towns shows statistically significant difference of 21.87 (eastern) and 21.01 (western), respectively ( P = 0.005, Pearson χ2), while the average BMI of girl students has only a trend to be higher in eastern towns (20.82) than that in western towns (20.30) ( P = 0.072). The percentage of “frequent” (daily, or 2-6 days per week) consumption of C, B, and A is 2.7%, 0.6%, and 1.3%, respectively. The percentage of “frequent” C consumption shows statistically significant higher in eastern (4.5%) than western (2.5%) towns ( P = 0.009), the percentage of “frequent” B consumption also shows statistically significant higher in eastern (1.6%) than western (0.5%) towns ( P = 0.003). However, the percentage of frequent A consumption has no significant difference between western (1.2%) & eastern (1.8%) towns ( P = 0.257). The percentage of “ever-experience” of A is significantly higher in eastern (5%) than western (3%) towns ( P = 0.001), while the percentage of ever-experience of C has no significant difference between eastern (9%) & western (7%) towns ( P = 0.257), the percentage of ever-experience of B also has no significant difference between eastern (16%) & western (15%) towns ( P = 0.751). Conclusion: Self-reported survey for junior high school students on cancer-related risk behaviors, CBA, revealed that frequent cigarette smoking (C) is the most prevalent (2.7%) one among CBA in Taiwan.
