There is growing evidence showing the efficacy of contextual or third-generation therapies in various contexts and clinical conditions. In large groups of first- and second-year high school students (n= 112), the present study compares the efficacy of applying a program based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) versus a combined program using strategies from Functional-Analytical Psychotherapy (FAP), resulting in a so-called FACT approach. The purpose of this intervention was to extract the most relevant processes underpinning clinical changes to design training programs based on contextual behavioral science to improve students' health. The results indicated that both interventions produced statistically significant improvement in the health of the students. The program combined with FACT was superior in the self-concept variable. The implications of both brief programs to improve students' health in short periods are discussed on the basis of a behavioral methodology adapted to the academic context.

This study aimed to develop the learning media and investigated the effectiveness of audio-based Pop-Up Book media on the two-dimensional rectangular shape. This media was tested twice in a small group of 6 students and in a large group of 25 students. Respondents were the VIIth grade students. The result of expert validation showed the average percentage of 88,16 % and was considered valid, thus the learning media was allowed to be used and tested. The analysis of effectiveness in small and large groups in a row revealed that students’ respond was very good, with the percentage of 88.1% and 88.87%. In addition, the activities of students in the class were very good, showed by the percentage of 92% and 86.8%. Finally, the classical completeness of the learning outcomes obtained the percentage of 100% from 6 students and 92% from 23 students who completed the test. Therefore, it can be concluded that the application of audio-based Pop-Up Book on the two-dimensional rectangular shape was effective for Junior High School students.

<p>Social anxiety is a psychological disorder which has devastative and pernicious effects on interpersonal relationships and one's psychological flexibility. The aim of this research was to determine the effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy on interpersonal problems and psychological flexibility in female high school students with social anxiety disorder. With a semi-experimental design, the subjects were assessed using the Social Anxiety Scale and clinical interview. The statistical population of the research was high school female students studying in 5 areas of Isfahan. 30 individuals were purposively selected as the sample. The subjects of the research were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy was given in 10 sessions of 90 minutes in the experimental group and the control group did not receive any treatment. Pre-test and post-test scores of Inventory of Interpersonal Problems, and Acceptance and Action Questionnaire were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance &amp; the results showed that after the intervention, there was a significant difference between the scores of the subjects in the experimental and control groups. This means that Acceptance and Commitment Therapy can influence interpersonal problems and their six dimensions and psychological flexibility as well.</p>

<div><p dir="RTL">اللافقاريات هي واحدة من المواد التي يجب دراستها في البيولوجي للصف العاشر. في دراسة علم الأحياء، وخاصة في مادة اللافقاريات، تم العثور على العديد من المصطلحات باستخدام اللغة اللاتينية أو العلمية المتعلقة باللافقاريات. كثير من الطلاب يجدون صعوبة في متابعة مواد اللافقاريات، وخاصة في فهم شروط بنية الجسم من شوكيات الجلد و المفصليات التي غالبا ما يجدونها عندما يحدث التعلم. وبالتالي، لمعرفة معنى المصطلحات في المواد اللافقارية، يمكن للطلاب استخدام القواميس التي تستخدم اللغة اللاتينية والإندونيسية على أساس أندرويد ومجهزة أيضًا بالصور كمؤيدين. تم إجراء هذا البحث في مدرسة الثانوية الحكومية 1 في مدينة جامبي. تستخدم هذه الدراسة نموذج تطوير (ADDIE) الذي يتكون من خمس مراحل، هي: التحليل والتصميم والتطوير والتنفيذ والتقييم. نوع البيانات في هذه الدراسة هو البيانات الكمية، وهي البيانات التي تم الحصول عليها من تقييم استبيان الطلاب والبيانات النوعية، وهي البيانات التي تم الحصول عليها من فريق التحقق، وهم خبراء الإعلام وخبراء المواد. المنتجات التي تم تطويرها والتحقق من صحتها من قبل فريق من الخبراء يتألف من خبراء المواد وخبراء وسائل الإعلام، واختبرت مجموعات صغيرة ومجموعات كبيرة. تم تنفيذ نتائج التحقق من قبل الخبير المادي مرتين وتم الحصول على النسبة النهائية من 87.50٪ مع معايير جيدة للغاية وتم التحقق من صحة من قبل خبراء الإعلام 3 مرات، وكانت النسبة المئوية لجدوى المنتج 93.75٪ في معايير جيدة جدا. كانت النسبة المئوية للمحاكمات الجماعية الصغيرة لـ 8 من طلاب ببرنامج الرياضية والعلوم الطبيعية 84.01٪ في معايير جيدة للغاية وكانت النسبة المئوية للمحاكمات الجماعية الكبيرة لـ18 من طلاب ببرنامج الرياضية والعلوم الطبيعية 85.56٪ مع فئات جيدة جدًا. استنادًا إلى تحليل البيانات الكمية والنوعية، يمكن استنتاج أن المنتج الذي تم تطويره في شكل معجم بيولوجي يستند إلى أندرويد في مواد اللافقاريات للطلاب من الفئة مدرسة الثانوية الصف العاشر ببرنامج الرياضية والعلوم الطبيعية من الممكن استخدامه في عملية التعلم.</p><p dir="RTL"> </p></div><p>Invertebrates is one of the compulsory materials in Biology lesson of class X. In studying biology,  there are  lots of terms using Latin or scientific language related to invertebrates. Many students have difficulty in learning Invertebrates material, especially in understanding the terminology section of the body structure of Echinoderms and Arthropods. Thus, to determine the meaning of the terms in these invertebrates materials students can use a dictionary that provides Latin and Indonesian languages based on Android and is also equipped with supporting images. This research was conducted at Senior High School 1 Jambi. This study aims to make learning media in the form of dictionary-based android biology in invertebrate material and test their feasibility with a small group trial. This study using ADDIE development model consisting of five stages: analysing, designing, developing, implementing and evaluating. The type of data in this study is  a quantitative data which is obtained from the assessment of student questionnaire and qualitative data that is obtained from the validation team who are media and subject matter experts. The products have been developed and validated by a team of experts consisting of subject matter experts and media experts, tested to small groups and large groups. The results of the validation by subject matter experts which held 2 times gain the final percentage 87.50% in the criteria very well and the validation by media experts conducted 3 times, produces a percentage of 93.75% and the  product eligibility criteria is very well. The percentage of small group trial to 8 students MIPA is 84.01% in the criteria very well and the percentage of large groups of trials to 18 students MIPA is 85.56% in the excellent category. Based on the quantitative and qualitative data analysis, it can be concluded that the products developed in the form of the Dictionary of Biology Android based on Material of  Invertebrates for High School Students of  X Graders in Science Class is eligible to be implemented in the learning process.</p>.

Summary: This article describes a triarchic analysis of an aptitude-treatment interaction in a college-level introductory-psychology course given to selected high-school students. Of the 326 total participants, 199 were selected to be high in analytical, creative, or practical abilities, or in all three abilities, or in none of the three abilities. The selected students were placed in a course that either well matched or did not match their pattern of analytical, creative, and practical abilities. All students were assessed for memory, analytical, creative, and practical achievement. The data showed an aptitude-treatment interaction between students' varied ability patterns and the match or mismatch of these abilities to the different instructional groups.
