The success or failure of a student depends upon numerous factors such as his ability, intelligence and study habits. Among these, study habits are of utmost importance in deciding the success of any individual. The purpose of this research was to find out differences in the study habits of higher secondary school students with respect to various variables. Random sampling technique was applied to draw a sample of 200 students studying in ten higher secondary schools of Kathua District (J&K). Study Habits Inventory (SHI) by Chandel and Paliwal (2012) has been used in this study. The results showed that female higher secondary school students obtained higher scores on the Interaction dimension while male students scored higher on the Support dimension of Study Habits Inventory (SHI). The results also revealed that students studying in private higher secondary schools had better study habits as compared to students studying in government higher secondary schools especially on the Drilling and Support dimensions as well as on overall study habits. Further, science students were found to possess better study habits in comparison to art students on the dimensions of Comprehension, Concentration, Task-orientation and Sets, Interaction, Drilling and Support as well as on overall study habits.

Related Increase

The prevalence of sexual behaviours was estimated from a survey of 3854 Australian secondary school students. Self-reported prevalence of intercourse increased from 9.9% (age 13 years or less) to 23.9% (age 15) and 51.2% at age 17 and over. Among 932 sexually experienced youth in the final 3 years of secondary school, 26% of males and 18% of females reported having 3 or more partners in the previous year; 89.4% had used a condom at least once, with males (71.8%) reporting more last occasion condom use than females (53.4%). ‘Last occasion’ and ‘usual’, but not lifetime, condom use was significantly lower among older respondents. Although nearly 90% of females in each of 3 age groups reported lifetime condom use, just 27.6% of female students aged 17 or more reported that condoms were always used during intercourse. The decline with age, noted in research with adults and older adolescents, may begin in the middle teens.

The aim of this research which was carried out throughout the Peninsular of Malaysia is to identify the level of citizenship knowledge among secondary school students in Peninsular Malaysia according to gender and ethnicity. Citizenship knowledge among students which is under investigation is comprised of three aspects, namely the establishment of a sovereign country, democratization and ethnic diversity. The research design was a survey using a quantitative approach. The instrument used for this research was a questionnaire while the number of respondents recruited for this study was 1812 secondary school students from various ethnic groups in Peninsular Malaysia. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential analysis of Manova by using SPSS software. The findings show that the level of citizenship knowledge among the students based on two of the aspects studied, namely the establishment of a sovereign country and democratization, are at a moderate level while the ethnic diversity aspect is at a medium high level. Overall without citizenship knowledge, students are at a moderate level. The findings also show that there are significant differences in citizenship knowledge of students based on gender and ethnicity. With regards to gender, it is found that male students show higher levels of citizenship knowledge with regards to the aspect of the establishment of a sovereign country and democratization compared to female students. In the meantime, female students showed higher levels of knowledge in terms of ethnic diversity than male students. With regards to ethnicity, Malay students showed higher levels of citizenship knowledge on democratization and ethnic diversity compared to Chinese and Indian students. Meanwhile, Indian students show the highest level of knowledge in terms of the establishment of a sovereign country compared to Malay and Chinese students. The findings of this study can affect the education process of the country in producing knowledgeable and skilled citizens in line with the aspiration of the National Education Philosophy in Malaysia. Hence, the implementation of citizenship education needs to be improved in order to increase the level of students’ citizenship knowledge.

Students Attitudes

Biology course can be difficult for students at times as it includes a lot of concepts and a relatively intense content. At this point, students’ attitude towards biology and biology course is highly important because having developed a positive attitude would significantly affect behavior. In other words, those students who have developed a positive attitude towards biology and biology course are expected to be more interested in class, more enthusiastic for learning, and as a result more successful. In this research, the gender and grade level variables as well as the pet-keeping variable were examined. The effects of these variables on the attitudes of secondary school students towards biology and biology course were examined by MANOVA. The sample of the research, which was designed in a relational survey model, consisted of 1047 secondary school students. In the collection of data, “Secondary School Students’ Attitude towards Biology and Biology Course Scale” was used. It was concluded that students who keep a pet have a more affirmative attitude. It was determined that female students have a more affirmative attitude compared to male students and 9th graders have a more affirmative attitude compared to students in other grade levels. Finally, it has been discussed why female students', pet keeping students' and lower grade students' attitudes towards biology and biology course are more affirmative, and suggestions for increasing students' attitudes have been developed. Keywords: attitude towards biology, biology course, secondary school students, pet-keeping behavior.

The purpose f this study was to analyze gender-based biological concepts understanding at secondary school students of bilingual programs. 6 (sixth) problems, according to Bloom’s taxonomy categorization, were designed consisted of: understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating. The topics included cell, classification of the organism, ecology, plant anatomy and physiology, and human anatomy and physiology. Samples were 47 students from grade nine (secondary school) from one of the bilingual secondary schools in Jakarta. Data obtained were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The analysis showed that the average value of the concept comprehension test was 55.07, which was below the Minimum Criteria of Completeness score of 73. The average value of male students was 57.29, and average value of female students was 52.85. There was no significant difference between the learning outcomes of male and female students. Some male students have higher achievements because they have more engagement in science than others. Students’ low ability to understand the biology concept makes them unable to perform their competency at the stages of applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating. Overall, data showed that the average level of understanding of biological concepts for secondary school of bilingual programs still tends to be low and needs to be continuously improved in the learning process. Further studies, hopefully, can be conducted to develop the most appropriate learning method to improve biological concepts.

Formal Operations

This work deals with formal operations. The following problems were investigated: (1) formal operational thought characteristics, (2) existence of formal operations structured whole, (3) existence of age differences regarding formal operations and (4) existence of sex differences regarding formal operations. There were 339 subjects, from the three age groups (eight grade of primary school, second and fourth grade of secondary school). Formal operations are tested by Bond?s Logical Operations Test. Rasch model was used for data analysis as well as some CTT techniques, basically for testing age and sex differences. The results show that BLOT is easy for our subjects. The hardest items are related to implications and the easiest to correlations and volume conservation. The data confirm assumption of formal operations as structured whole. There are age differences between youngest subjects and other two age groups but there is no differences between younger and older secondary school students. Sex differences were not found. Results were discussed in the light of Piaget's theory and the results of formal operations studies.
