The social representations that high school students in the "eastern" region of Mexico City construct of civic culture, political culture, and power relations in daily coexistence, are limited and restricted to legal citizenship, because the principles and values ​​of democracy have not been founded on the basis of a democratic political culture, to build full citizenship from childhood, generating spaces for reflection and listening back and forth, but above all, living a democratic life that enhances power -do, over power-over others.   Las representaciones sociales que los estudiantes de bachillerato de la región "oriente" de la Ciudad de México construyen sobre la cultura cívica, la cultura política y las relaciones de poder en la convivencia cotidiana, son limitadas y restringidas a la ciudadanía legal, porque no se han fundamentado los principios y valores de la democracia a partir de una cultura política democrática, para construir una ciudadanía plena desde la infancia, generando espacios de reflexión y escucha de ida y vuelta, pero sobre todo, viviendo una vida democrática que potencie el poder-hacer, sobre el poder-sobre los demás.

The relevance of the study is due to the role that social ideas play in the regulation of behavior and the formation of a system of relations among subjects of the educational environment in conditions of special attention to the safety of the educational environment of the school, provoked by destructive precedents among young people (school shooting, near-football, bullying, anarchism, neo-Nazism, etc.). J. Abric’s “Central system, peripheral system” concept was the theoretical framework of this study of ZhK. Aprica. The research hypothesis was based on the idea that violations of the psychological safety of the educational environment are caused by the problem of correlating nuclear and peripheral social representations about safety among different participants in educational settings. We use the prototypical analysis of P. Verges to study social representations of safety. The study sample was 137 students of the 7th grade (72 male, 65 female), 416 students of the 8th grade (201 male, 215 female), 490 students of the 9th grade (201 male, 289 female), 154 students of the 10th grade (84 male, 70 female), 117 students of the 11th grade (50 male, 67 female) and 20 teachers (1 male, 19 female). The results of the study demonstrate that 1) according to social representations about safety, students and teachers have diametrically opposed views on the role of the teacher in ensuring a safe educational environment; 2) students, who highly assess the safety of the educational environment, have active external and internal protection social representations about safety; students who rate the safety of the educational environment, have social representations in the context of passive protection; 3) the analysis of three age categories shows a tendency of the social representations about safety from the norm (students in grades 7-8) through external protection (high school students) to the internal individual resources (high school students and teachers). The new research data obtained on the peculiarities of representations about the safety of students and teachers can become the basis for understanding the growing tension in the field of the safety of the educational environment and the frequent incidents of its violation.

The aim of this research is to identify and analyze the social representations of learning formulated by adolescents. In order to do so, three descriptive case studies were carried out using transversal methodology with High School students from three schools. For data collection, a semi-structured questionnaire was used. Two forms of analysis were performed at a later stage: the qualitative data was analyzed by the technician of Content Analysis; the quantitative data was submitted to descriptive and inferential analysis. A posteriore, three theoretical categories that emerged from the discourse used by the participants pointing to different social representations about learning traditional, renewed and contemporary conceptions. The results show the predominance of the contemporary concept among the studied groups. This scenario suggests that the adolescents who assumed the contemporaneous concept represent the learning connected to the peripheral system, a device that prepares crystallized transformations, diminishing the confrontation between subjective reality and consensual elements, which are part of the central core of social representations.

Slang usage in modern age Iran is a popular phenomenon among most male and female teenagers. How pervasive this variation of language use is among various age and sex groups in Iran has been a question of debate given the significance of religion in a theological system of social structure. The work presented in this study aims to investigate the effect of age and sex on variability of slang usage. Sixty Iranian participants were selected, and then were divided into three age groups (i.e. primary school, high school, and senior university students) each group consisting of ten males and ten females. A self-made questionnaire in the form of Discourse Completion Test (DCT) describing nine situations of friendly conversations was given to the participants. They were asked to make their choice on the responses, which ranged from formal to very informal style (common teenage slang expressions), or to write down what they wish to say under each circumstance. The results of the chi–square tests indicated that slang usage among high school students is more frequent as compared with other age groups. Unlike the popular belief suggesting that slang is used by boys rather than girls, the findings suggested that young Iranians both male and female use slang as a badge of identity showing their attachment to the social group they wish to be identified with.

Two types of social goals associated with students’ academic performance have received attention from researchers. One is the social responsibility goal, and the other is the social relationship goal. While several scales have been validated for measuring social relationship and social responsibility goals in academic settings, few studies have applied these social goal scales to high school students in physical education settings. The purpose of this study was to assess the reliability, validity, and generalizability of the scores produced by the Social Goal Scale-Physical Education (SGS-PE) in high school settings. Participants were 544 students from two high schools in the southern United States. Reliability analyses, principal components factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and multistep invariance analysis across two school samples revealed that the SGS-PE produced reliable and valid scores when used to assess students’ social goal levels in high school physical education settings.

With the amount of speeches delivered on social networks that students browse continuously, it is possible to use this mechanism as an additional support for classes. This research, using this possibility, seeks to present a didactic sequence applied to high school students from a public school, whose objective is to examine the concept of logic, present in the speeches of the two main candidates for the presidency of Brazil, in 2018 The proposal is to demonstrate to students how the concepts of logic can be identified in discourses that permeate the social environment and are part of the reality experienced by students. It is hoped that this research can contribute as a reference to an activity of theory and practice, such a relevant discussion in the school scenario.
