This paper presents partial results of a one-year project funded by a grant from Mexico’s National Science and Technology Council and the National Institute for the Evaluation of Education that was designed to characterize the teaching of statistics in Mexican high school education. Work was organized in two 6-month phases. The first stage involved documentary research that consisted of analyzing the study programs of statistics courses used at 12 high school-level educational systems. The second used the field research technique to design and administer a survey called “Teaching Statistical Literacy, Reasoning and Thinking” (TSLRT), that was answered by 754 high school statistics teachers at those 12 educational systems. Both phases were based on the theoretical ideas of statistical literacy, reasoning and thinking, and were conducted with the aim of constructing a reference framework to analyze the study programs (phase one) and design the items included in the TSLRT survey (phase two). Here, we report results from the survey applied, which was comprised of 18 items on sociodemographic variables and 65 Likert scale items that measured the degree to which teachers’ classroom practice focused on elements of statistical literacy, reasoning and thinking, or shared elements. Confirmatory factor analysis was applied to the responses to the 65 Likert scale items. Results indicate that the responses fit a one-dimensional model. Finally, we discuss the pedagogical and theoretical implications of the TSLRT survey results.  Abstract: Spanish En este artículo, reportamos parte de los resultados de un Proyecto de investigación de un año, el cual fue financiado por el Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología y el Instituto Nacional para la Evaluación Educativa. El Proyecto fue diseñado para caracterizar la enseñanza de la estadística en la Educación Media Superior mexicana, y se organizó en dos fases de 6 meses cada una. La primera etapa involucró un estudio documental que consistió en analizar los programas de estudio de la materia de estadística utilizados en 12 diferentes sistemas educativos de educación media superior. La segunda usó la técnica de investigación de campo para diseñar y administrar un cuestionario llamado “Enseñanza de una Cultura, Razonamiento y Pensamiento Estadístico” (TSLRT, por sus siglas en inglés). El cuestionario fue respondido por 754 profesores de educación media superior que imparten la materia de estadística y laboran en escuelas de los 12 sistemas educativos mencionados. Ambas fases estuvieron basadas en las ideas teóricas de cultura, razonamiento y pensamiento estadístico con el objetivo de construir un marco de referencia para analizar los programas de estudio (fase uno) y diseñar los ítems incluidos en el cuestionario TSLRT (fase dos). Aquí, reportamos los resultados del cuestionario aplicado, el cual consistió en 18 ítems sobre variables sociodemográficas y 65 ítems de escala Likert que midieron el grado en que la enseñanza del profesor se centra en elementos de una cultura, razonamiento y pensamiento estadístico, o en elementos comunes. Se aplicó un análisis factorial de confirmación a las respuestas de los 65 ítems. Los resultados indican que las respuestas se ajustan a un modelo unidimensional. Finalmente, discutimos las implicaciones pedagógicas y teóricas de los resultados del cuestionario.

K 12

The United States is confronting important challenges at both the early and late stages of science education. At the level of K–12 education, a recent National Research Council report (Successful K–12 STEM Education) proposed a bold restructuring of how science is taught, moving away from memorizing facts and emphasizing hands-on, inquiry-based learning and a deeper understanding of the process of science. At higher levels of training, limited funding for science is leading PhDs to seek training and careers in areas other than research. Might science PhDs play a bigger role in the future of K–12 education, particularly at the high school level? We explore this question by discussing the roles that PhDs can play in high school education and the current and rather extensive barriers to PhDs entering the teaching profession and finally suggest ways to ease the entrance of qualified PhDs into high school education.

The rapid development of technology has pushed the need for the teaching and learning process in secondary schools on a technology basis. Thus, secondary education must align itself with technological advances where one of the steps that can be taken is to implement technology-based learning or e-learning. Therefore, this study aims to formulate criteria and indicators for technology assessment with a technometric methodology, where these criteria will be grouped into 4 aspects, namely Technoware, Humanware, Infoware, and Orgaware. Through this research, it will be known whether the implementation of e-learning at the secondary education level has met the standards needed by students in developing their potential. So, the results obtained are that in the instrument of degrees of sophistication in e-learning at the high school level (SMA) there are components of supporting technology in e-learning in high school education, including technoware, humanware, infoware and orgaware which consists of criteria, sub-criteria, and sub-sub-criteria. ABSTRAK Perkembangan teknologi yang semakin pesat, mendorong kebutuhan dalam proses belajar mengajar di sekolah menengah dengan basis teknologi. Maka, pendidikan menengah harus menyelaraskan diri dengan kemajuan teknologi dimana salah satu langkah yang dapat dilakukan adalah dengan melaksanakan pembelajaran yang berbasis teknologi atau e-learning. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merumuskan kriteria dan indikator penilaian teknologi atau e-learning dengan metodologi teknometrik, dimana kriteria tersebut akan dikelompokkan menjadi 4 aspek yaitu Technoware, Humanware, Infoware, dan Orgaware. Melalui penelitian ini akan diketahui apakah pelaksanaan e-learning di jenjang pendidikan menengah sudah memenuhi standar yang dibutuhkan peserta didik dalam mengembangkan potensinya. Maka, hasil yang diperoleh bahwa di dalam instrumen derajat kecanggihan dalam e-learning tingkat Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA) terdapat komponen – komponen teknologi pendukung dalam e-learning pada pendidikan menengah atas antara lain technoware, humanware, infoware dan orgaware yang di dalamnya terdiri dari kriteria, sub kriteria, dan sub-sub kriteria.

Aim. In this study, the challenges encountered during the introduction of religious education in Turkey are examined within the scope of their intended solutions. Methods. In this study, challenges encountered in the implementation of religious education in Turkey are being discussed in a descriptive manner. Literature scanning and interpretation methods, one of the qualitative research methods, were used in the study.  Results. Religious education in Turkey is both maintained within the formal education system and the non-formal education system. Formal education is provided in public schools run by the Ministry of National Education [MNE]. Primary, secondary and high school education is compulsory for all students. There are Imam Hatip Schools that were opened to provide religious education at secondary and high school level. There are also two hours of compulsory religious education per week in other schools. Non-formal religious education is provided only by the Presidency of Religious Affairs [PRA]. This training is given to people of all ages. For this purpose, the PRA opens several courses. Conclusions. In this study, challenges encountered related to religious education in Turkey are being discussed in two main areas: Challenges in formal education are examined under seven subtitles. Challenges in non-formal education are examined under eight subtitles. Originality. This study is an original study in terms of addressing the challenges in formal and non-formal religious education together. In addition, the possibility of making a collective examination of challenges related to religious education in Turkey would be valuable to the reader.

Incorporating STEAM into classroom practice can be both challenging and daunting. “Imagioneering” a new Mission: Space showcases a way to utilize STEAM into the environmental earth science classroom. Using the familiarity many students have with Disney, critical analysis is applied to the design of a famous park ride. Ride-layout is critiqued and improved upon via student collaboration. Students then use their ability to analyze design to build a structure that fits a particular purpose. This project is geared towards the high school level and students redesign the exterior and line-queue for Mission: Space.
