The study investigated beliefs of 121 high school students in Grade 11 about people who are ill with malaria, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and alcoholism. The sample of Black pupils were chosen at random from two rural secondary schools in one region in the Northern Province of South Africa. Analysis indicated that HIV/AIDS was clearly distinguished from the other three illnesses by being seen as the least easily cured, having the most gradual onset, being the most contagious, showing the least look of illness, and the patients being likely those most blamed for their illness.

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of activity-based conceptual change module in increasing the level of scientific knowledge and reducing the level of students’ misconception on electromagnets. The participant consist of 194 high school students from sixth classes. Three of the classes were assigned randomly as an experimental group and the other classes as a control group. The experimental group gets learning facilitated by activity-based conceptual module, while the control group gets learning facilitated by a conventional textbook. The level of scientific knowledge and students’ misconception were measured by the Three-Tier Electromagnets Test. The data about the level of scientific knowledge and student misconception were analyzed by the ANCOVA with pre-test score used as a covariate. The results showed that the activity-based conceptual change module was effective to increase the level of scientific knowledge and reduce the level of student misconception in an electromagnet

Background. Diabetes is a set of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia caused by improper action and/or secretion of insulin. Currently, diabetes is becoming a serious challenge in modern medicine, this disease affects 425 million people, and the forecasts indicate that by 2045 the number of cases will increase to 629 million. Objective. The aim of the study was to evaluate the knowledge about risk factors for type 2 diabetes among secondary school students in the Silesian Province in Poland and to determine whether there are differences between the level of knowledge between girls and boys and between first-, second- and third-grade students. Material and methods. The survey was conducted among 650 high school students. The research tool was the author's questionnaire. The obtained results were developed using Microsoft Excel 2010 and Statistica 13.3 (TIBCO Inc.). Results. The definitions of type 2 diabetes were known to 63.9%. 91.8% of high school students indicated excessive body mass as a risk factor for morbidity, while 18.8% of people indicated the appropriate type of obesity increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes. Most of the students considered abnormal eating habits as an important factor increasing the occurrence of the disease (92.4%). The most numerous group of high school students were people with average level of knowledge (89.6%). Conclusions. The knowledge of high school students about risk factors for type 2 diabetes was varied. The most numerous group were high school students characterised by the average level of knowledge. There were no statistically significant differences between the proportion of correctly provided responses by women and men. There were statistically significant differences between the proportion of correctly provided responses by first-, second- and third-graders. Our research shows that educational activities should be undertaken, especially about modifiable risk factors for type 2 diabetes.

<p> </p><p>The goal of this research is to investigate schools’ policy of using a mobile phone at schools from the perspective of secondary school students in Indonesia. It happens to be a long debate involving educators in Indonesia on whether or not the use of smartphone can be allowed in schools. So far, all we hear is the perspectives of teachers and schools’ administrators regarding the ban but never from the students, even though the students are the subject of these debates. This research is conducted in order to investigate, as well as to give the opportunity for students’ to voice their opinion, point of views, and perspectives toward the issue of banning smartphone use at schools. The data of this research was collected through online survey aimed at secondary schools’ students in Gorontalo, Indonesia. There are 250 students from 5 high schools have responded to the online surveys. The result shows that even though students mostly believe that the use of smartphone should be integrated into teaching and learning process, an appropriate policy of using it at school should be designed in order to get rid of the negative impact cause by it, and to maximize the use of it as a sophisticated resource to help students learn better at school.</p>

Considering the opportunity of reconstruction of ideas is very important for success in the learning process. For this purpose, a metavisual strategy was used, comparing images, one made by the students and the other presented by the researcher so they could compare and be able to rebuild their ideas, the latter an image based on a scientific accepted model. The research focus was the comprehension of the symbolic level by the learners while studying two electrochemical interactions by comparing images and rethinking about them. Thirty-two high school students, organized in pairs, participated in the research carrying out a proposed teaching and learning sequence (TLS) in the classroom. First, the students proposed hypotheses and then they had the opportunity to rethink about them modeling their learning. Students were filmed and the transcriptions and registers made by them were analyzed later. The results indicate a qualitative and progressive improvement in the learning of the subject when using the metavisual strategy, bringing evidence that it can be efficient to build and rebuild initial concepts in electrochemistry. Key words: electrochemical teaching, metacognition, metavisualization, metavisual strategy, modeling.
