This study was aimed to determine the effectiveness of student centered learning (SCL) in improving science generic skills of high school students. The study was confined to the application of the 2 models based on SCL are guided inquiry model and multiple representations model. This research was quasi experiment with a control group pretest-posttest design. The study was conducted in 2 high schools in Purworejo district. The independent variable was  a guided inquiry model  in the first study while in the second study was multi  representation model. Both studies had the same dependent variable, namely science generic skills of high school students. Results of research have shown that this two learning models are proven more effective in improving science generic skills of high school students than conventional learning model.

This study aims at examining the effect of environmental problem-based learning (PBL) on the environment-related vocabulary mastery and writing ability of Indonesian EFL students. Previous studies showed that problem-based learning is a student-centered learning approach that affects students’ learning positively and significantly. This study employed a quasi-experimental design by involving two classes of senior high school students, each consisted of 30 students. One class was assigned to be the experimental group and treated with environmental PBL, while the other class was assigned to be the control group and taught conventionally. A vocabulary test was used to measure the students’ environment-related vocabulary mastery, while a hortatory writing test was used to examine the students’ writing ability. The data were analyzed by using independent sample t-test. The results of the study showed that the students who were taught by using environmental PBL improved their environment-related vocabulary mastery and their writing ability significantly. The PBL approach is then recommended for future teaching and research. Nevertheless, before implementing this approach, other teachers and future researchers should consider the readiness of the curriculum, the students, and the school infrastructure.

This study aims to determine the effect of guided inquiry learning models assisted by virtual simulations on the mastery of physics concepts for high school students. This type of research is a quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest control group design. The study population was all students of class XI MIA SMAN 1 Sheet, totaling 53 students with the sampling technique using purposive sampling technique, so the sample used in this study was class XI MIA-2 as an experimental class totaling 26 students and class XI MIA. -3 as a control class, totaling 27 students. Before being given treatment, the two samples were given an initial test to determine their initial ability. The results show that the the ability of both class control and experiment are homogen. That means  before doing the treatment, they have the same abilty. The research hypothesis was tested by using polled variance t-test with a significance level of 5%. Based on the results of data analysis, t count is greater than t table, so that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. Thus, it can be concluded that the guided inquiry learning model assisted with virtual simulations has an effect on the mastery of physics concepts for high school students.

Students must be able to make decisions effectively in urgent conditions and be able to formulate strategies to take action in an effort to make the situation under control. During learning at school, there are still many students who tend to be more receptive to information than to provide solutions that can solve the problems. The ability to make decisions can be trained using the guided inquiry learning model, because the essence of the guided inquiry strategy is relate to the decision making skills. The use of guided inquiry models in learning can increase student to think critically, be more productive, be more skilled in obtaining information and making decisions. The research aims is to know the ability to take the decision making of students high school in learning physics based on guided inquiry. This type of research was descriptive research. This research is used to describe the participation of high school students in making decision on guided inquiry on physics learning. The results obtained by the study of guided inquiry learning models can increase student participation in making decisions.

This study aims to describe and analyze the level of digital literacy and collaboration skills of students. The research method used a quantitative descriptive survey with a research instrument in the form of a questionnaire. The study involved 10 physics teachers and 105 high school students in Lampung Province. The results showed that the digital literacy of students was in the sufficient category with the achievement percentage of 54.68%, while the collaborative abilities of students were in the poor category with the achievement percentage of 39.17%. Digital literacy has not been maximally achieved and the ability to collaborate in students is influenced by the lack of efforts of students to use the internet as a learning resource and the lack of student-centered learning.

This research looks at listening as one factor that gives contribution toward speaking among high school students. The study attempts to reveal through data analysis, in the form of students. score from each variable that both have correlation. Further the objective of the study is also to find out the extent of influence contributed by listening toward speaking. The research applies library study and field study (instrument designing and test performing both for listening and speaking). The theory used for analysis deals with listening and speaking correlation from language learning review. The result of the study demonstrates that the correlation of listening as the independent variable with speaking as dependent variable is positive. It also proves that with a unit of program or treatment given toward listening class, there will be a significant improvement equals with 3.134 times from previous speaking score for the same sample. For the analysis of data, the extent of correlation between two varibales is shown as low. It indicates that even though listening do have positive correlation towarde speaking, it is not the only deminant factor to determine success in speaking.

This study aimed to determine the factors associated with the avoidance of dental preventive care in high school students and their parents in the framework of The Youth and Parents Risk Factor Behavior Survey in Slovakia, the ongoing cross-sectional school-based survey of students and their parents or legal representatives. The data were collected using two separate standardized questionnaires: (i) the questionnaire for students (n = 515) and (ii) the questionnaire for parents (n = 681). The study group included 57 high school students (54.4% males) who did not visit the dentist for preventive care in the previous year. The control group included 458 students (35.8% males) who visited a dentist for preventive care at least once in the previous year. A significantly higher number of males (54.4%), older adolescents, and young adults (21.8%; 20.0%) were not visiting dental preventive care regularly. Incomplete family (56.1%), stressful situations at home (17.5%), and feeling unwell were the factors contributing to the avoidance of dental preventive care. More than 34.5% of adolescents and young adults were not visiting either dental preventive care or pediatric preventive care (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 5.14; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.40, 10.99). Children of divorced mothers and mothers with household income lower than EUR 900 had significantly higher dental care avoidance in bivariate analysis. A significantly higher percentage of fathers from the exposed group were not visiting dental preventive care regularly (47.8%, p < 0.05). The results of the study can be used as an educational intervention step focusing on the parental influence on adolescent and young adults’ behavior and as a challenge for the improvement of dental preventive care in older adolescents and young adults.
