Animal Names

Four experiments were conducted to compare developmental changes in free recall and frequency judgement. In Experiment 1, 1012 Korean students were shown a series of animal names and then asked to recall them and to estimate the frequency with which they had occurred. The poorest performance on both tasks was by primary-school students and the best by secondary-school students; college students were intermediate in performance. Essentially similar results were obtained in Experiment 2, with an additional 288 Korean students, except that secondary-school students did not perform better than college students. In this experiment, there was complete control of item specificity over frequency and any possible clustering effect was eliminated by using unrelated words rather than animal names. In Experiment 3, the developmental trends in frequency judgement were replicated with 193 American students. Those developmental trends were obtained with another 186 American students in Experiment 4 using relative frequency judgements. Retrospective reports about how frequency judgements were made suggested a developmental shift from more literal counting strategies to more intuitive strength impression judgements. The results are interpreted as suggesting the need for some modification of the Hasher and Zacks (1979, 1984) age-invariance proposition for frequency judgement.

This article describes the construction of a giant protein (‘Boris’) and illustrates how by making molecular models secondary school and college students can learn hands on how drug systems and proteins interact in drug therapy treatments within the human body.

Ap Calculus

The articulation of secondary school and college mathematics is a critical problem facing educators today (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 1980; Staff, 1984). The placement in college mathematics courses of students who have taken calculus in secondary school is an especially critical and difficult task. Calculus can be taught at various levels, and its subject matter components can receive varying degrees of emphasis. The Advanced Placement (AP) program attempts to provide a uniform and high-quality calculus course for secondary school students by publishing a detailed course syllabus, encouraging special training for AP instructors, and administering an examination that validates a student's AP Calculus experience (College Entrance Examination Board, 1984). Nonetheless, some evidence suggests that AP Calculus students have difficulty earning advanced placement and credit for the calculus they learned in secondary school (Lefkowitz, 1971; Neatrour & Mullenex, 1973; Pocock, 1974; Rash, 1977; Sklar, 1980; Sorge & Wheatley, 1977). One reason for this difficulty may be that AP Calculus students are not achieving at the same level as college students.

The Teaching Improvements through Mathematics Education 2000 (TIME 2000) project is an undergraduate program designed to recruit and prepare future teachers of secondary school mathematics. The National Science Foundation furnished funding from 1997 to 1999 for planning and the first year of this project's implementation. With private funding, we have been able to capitalize on the accomplishments of this project by extending it to a full four-year program and offering it to incoming college students.

The purpose of this descriptive and exploratory study was to measure the perceptions regarding a variety of science, technology, and society (STS) topics among a sample of Uruguay underclassmen college students. These perceptions were compared with the viewpoints of a group of professional scientists. It was found that, for some STS topics, such as the role of humans in global climate change, the perceptions of Uruguay underclassmen and scientists were statistically identical. For topics, such as the problem of human overpopulation, both groups find themselves on the same side of the issue but with a statistically significant gap between them. Uruguay underclassmen and professional scientists have opposite views on STS topics such as the use of animals for scientific research. A sizable proportion of Uruguay underclassmen were not familiar with several STS topics, such as the scientific work of the International Space Station. Implications for formal and informal STEM education efforts are discussed.

The Relationship

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between religious orientation, coping strategies and suicidal behaviour among secondary school adolescents and college students. A total of 196 participants (73 adolescents and 123 adults college students) completed the online survey consisting of the Religious-Orientation Scale-Revised, Brief COPE and Suicidal Behaviours Questionnaire-Revised. Adolescents in secondary school had higher odds of suicidal thoughts and behaviour than college students (OR 4.40, 95% CI: 1.133, 17.094, p = 0.032). Individuals who employed an avoidant coping strategy had higher odds of suicidal thoughts and behaviour after adjusting for other relevant variables, which indicated that when a person engages in avoidant coping strategy, it is most likely that they have a higher odds of suicidal thoughts and behaviour (OR 1.118, 95% CI: 1.050, 1.189, p < 0.001). There is an urgent need to initiate psychological interventions to reduce suicide behaviour risk among Malaysian secondary school adolescents.

The Relationship

In a globalized society the existence of multiple cultures has become an inevitable social phenomenon. The traditional society is threatened and this offers many challenges for cultural identity in education. In other words we should change mono-cultural education into multi-cultural education and should adhere to the principle of 'harmonious but different' in practice. We can improve socializing ability in students by educating them through cultural knowledge. This study is an attempt to explore the relationship between cultural knowledge and socializing ability of junior college students of Aurangabad city. The study was conducted on 200 junior college students of Aurangabad city. The results reveal that there is a moderate but substantial relationship between cultural knowledge and socializing ability. However, no significant differences on different factors of cultural knowledge and socializing ability between male and female junior college students of Aurangabad city were observed.
