This paper examines the family function on social adjustment and self-regulation of high school students. The research method is descriptive-correlational. The statistical population consists of all second-high school girl students in the city of Ghaemshahr. 110 female students were randomly selected as the research sample size. The results showed that there is a significant difference between family function and social adjustment and self-regulation of high school students at the error level of less than 0.01 and confidence level of 0.99. Based on regression analysis, family function variables (with a coefficient of 0.46) and social adjustment (with a coefficient of 0.44) had the highest coefficient of standardized regression, respectively, on the dependent variable of student self-regulation.

Background: Drug abuse and its destructive consequences are among challenging issues concerning students’ health. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the relationship of social adjustment and resilience with attitude towards drugs in boy and girl students of Lali City. Methods: The study was a descriptive correlational study performed by path analysis. The study population included 1500 boy and girl high school students of Lali City in the academic year of 2017 - 2018, among whom 133 boys and 142 girls were selected through multistage stratified sampling and using Cochran’s formula. Research instruments included Bell’s Adjustment Inventory (BAI) for Students, the Connor-Davidson Resilience scale (CD-RISC), and the Drug Attitude scale (DAS). The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 23. Results: The results revealed a significant negative relationship between social adjustment and girl students’ attitudes towards drugs (P < 0.001); however, there was no significant relationship between social adjustment and attitudes towards drugs in boy students. Meanwhile, there was no direct and significant relationship between resilience and attitudes towards drugs in boy and girl students. On the other hand, a significant positive relationship was observed between resilience and social adjustment in boys (P < 0.01) and girls (P < 0.05). The indirect impact of resilience on the students’ attitudes towards drugs, mediated by social adjustment, was not significant. Conclusions: Resilience reduces stress, and as a result, students with more resilience seem to have better coping skills, higher social adjustment, and negative attitudes towards drugs.

The relation of value inclinations in artistic, scientific, and religious aspects is higher than the other relations.

The ability to drive a vehicle is seen as an important segment of human life. Individuals who do not have the possibility to drive a vehicle – for any given number of reasons – are often considered in the scientific literature as transport disadvantaged persons. Transport disadvantage can impact on access to many opportunities. The objective of this paper is to examine the influence of transport disadvantage on the daily life of high school population in the City of Zagreb. The research was based on the use of subjective indicators of transport disadvantage and on a self-reported measure of transport issues, as well as through the work of focus groups. The data were obtained in a survey of 826 high school students in the City of Zagreb, and with the participation of eight focus groups. High school students assessed the influence of transport issues based on the aspects of importance of issues in their lives and the degree of difficulty needed to overcome these issues. The analysis indicates that there is a statistically significant difference between male and female students, which could suggest a more prominent transport disadvantage for girls compared to boys. The collected data were also supported by claims obtained by the focus group method.

<p>The present study aimed to examine the relationship of parents’ perfectionism with academic self-regulation and self-control among male high school students in Iranshahr. This descriptive study followed a correlational design. The statistical population included all third grade second period male high school students in Iranshahr and the sample included 140 individuals selected hierarchically among 235 individuals using Morgan’s table. To collect data, the Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (1990), the Ryan and Connell Academic Self-Regulation (1989), and the Weinberger and Schwartz Self-Restraint Scale (1990) were applied. The obtained data was analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise regression analysis. The results indicated that parents’ perfectionism, parents’ expectations, and individual standards were significantly and negatively related to academic self-regulation. Among components of perfectionism, parents’ expectations explained 6% of the variance in academic self-regulation. Moreover, parents’ perfectionism and concerns about mistakes, parents’ expectations, and individual standards were significantly and negatively correlated with students’ self-regulation. When explaining self-control via components of parents’ perfectionism, in the first step, individual standards alone explained 19% of the variance in students’ self-control. In the second step, component of concerns about mistakes together with individual standards explained 27% of the variance in students’ academic self-regulation. Additionally, in the third step, component of parents’ expectations along with individual standards and concerns about mistakes explained 32% of the variance in students’ self-control.</p>

Many countries have incorporated computational thinking (CT) and programming languages into their science and technology courses. Students can improve their CT ability by learning programming languages. Moreover, situated learning enables students to generate knowledge and master problem-solving skills through interaction with situations. This study incorporated Webduino learning and the situated learning strategy into a programming course and analyzed its impact on high school students’ CT ability, learning motivation, and course satisfaction. A quasi-experimental research method was adopted, wherein the experimental group was subjected to the situated learning strategy and the control group was subjected to a traditional teaching method. The study results revealed that integrating Webduino programming with situated learning could effectively improve five categories of CT skills; moreover, the activity models of situated learning enhanced the value and expectation dimensions of learning motivation. In addition, satisfaction with the course content and self-identity slightly improved. However, because teachers were required to elaborate on stories to promote learner engagement with life situations, the time available for programming was limited. Thus, no significant difference was observed in teaching satisfaction.
