The communication of a mathematical structure from curriculum developers to five teachers and then to six classes of high school students (n=109) was investigated. The content structure of the instructional material and the cognitive structure of the curriculum developers, teachers, and students were examined using Johnson's hierarchical clustering (HICLUS) program. A high degree of correspondence among the cognitive structure of the curriculum developers, the content structure, and the teachers' cognitive structures and between the cognitive structure of a class and that of its particular teacher was indicated. The material was effective, and clear distinctions of cognitive structure existed between high- and low-achievement student groups

The learning of the structure of elementary probability was investigated. High school students (N = 34) were assigned randomly to read either probability (experimental group) or negative number bases (control group). The structure of the probability material was represented by a directed graph that produced an interpretable map of the content structure. Cognitive structures were examined using a word association technique. The experimental students learned and retained a significant portion of the probability structure but the control students did not. A comparison of word association, achievement, and attitude data indicated that the learning of structure developed somewhat independently from learning to solve problems.

Discipline in class is essential. Without it the educational processes and teachings are difficult. In this manner curricula goals are almost impossible to achieve. There are and there always will be some kind of conflicts between teachers and students, but they should not evolve to become a problem. Teachers (especially elderly teachers) often express pessimism of contemporary students. They say that today's students have less knowledge, they do misbehave more often than previous generations. A study among students was conducted. It was trying to determine the rate of discipline in schools in Celje to see if these statements are true. The questionnaire to students of one primary and one high school in Celje, Slovenia were distributed. The answers from 234 students were received. On the one hand, it was found out that senior high school students have the worst level of discipline of all the grades tested. They themselves assess their class atmosphere as less disciplined. They report that teachers use a lot of time to calm the class down. All this is probably a factor in lower average grade that the senior high school students have. On the other hand, it was found out that teachers do not react to the disturbance or they are trying to be repressive. These are not the correct ways of dealing with discipline issues. Therefore, there are some recommended ways how teachers should react. Keywords: discipline in class, primary school, contemporary student, elderly teachers.

Traditional Grammar

<p>Grammar is “a system of rules governing the conventional arrangement and relationship of words in a sentence” (Brown 1994) which can facilitate the acquisition of a foreign language and is conducive for cultivating comprehensive language competence. Most teachers regard grammar as a frame of English learning. The grammar teaching beliefs held by teachers can affect their practical teaching behaviors in class, thus can have different teaching results in the end. Therefore, through quantitative and qualitative research, this paper aims to investigate the present status of grammar beliefs of high school students as well as teachers’ beliefs and their grammar teaching behaviors, analyze and compare the similarities and differences between them. The result shows that teachers’ grammar teaching has the tendency of communicative teaching while students’ grammar beliefs have the characteristic of integration of communicative and traditional grammar teaching. Teachers’ grammar teaching behaviors can basically be consistent with their grammar teaching beliefs.</p>

The Mind

Through the direct detection and quantitative analysis of 44 concepts related to trigonometric functions in the mathematical cognitive structure of the 213 students in grade one in senior middle school, this paper finds that the mathematical cognitive structure of senior high school students has the following characteristics: In the cognitive structure of the mind, knowledge can be divided into different blocks according to the degree of relevance, the basis and the scale of the blocks, the degree of interaction in the block and between the blocks are not the same. The knowledge in a good cognitive structure should be organized in the form of blocks, and the blocks have a more scientific basis. The members in block have more obvious common features and each block is relatively large and covers more knowledge points. The block is closely linked, in addition, there must be a higher intensity of the link between the blocks, which can make the entire network of knowledge as a whole, and then it is conducive to the flow of information.

Teaching Time

The rank-order of importance of a set of educational goals to a sample of 134 adult high school students, composed of com pleters and dropouts, was assessed by 22 teachers of adults to determine how perceptive they were of the differences that exist between completer's and dropout's reasons for enrolling in adult education. Significantly strong associations were observed in the ways teachers and completers assessed the importance of the goals (rho=.78, df=9, p<.01) and the ways teachers and dropouts assessed the importance of the goals (rho=.65, df=9, p<.05). However, marked differences were observed within sets of ranks indicating that teachers and students had significantly different view-points concerning the importance of some of the goals to completers and dropouts. When length of teaching time was con trolled, experienced teachers were found more likely to misjudge the importance of the overall set of goals to the dropouts (rho=.57, NS).

New Thinking

Project-based learning is a way of working which is gaining ground in Swedish schools. The Swedish Government has recently decreed that senior high school students must carry out a fairly extensive piece of research in the form of a project. The project has to be finished in one and a half years from preparatory planning to final presentation. Working with projects has now more clearly made the School Library in Sweden into an educational resource. In our seminar we will give you some idea of how project-based learning is being practised as teamwork between librarians, students and teachers in two Swedish senior high school libraries. We show how we guide teachers and students in our libraries, now well equipped with traditional media as well as modern technology. We will also point out specific problems that we meet and draw attention to new thinking about learning in modern society.

School Orientation

The purpose of this article is to examine the importance of involvement teachers in the school orientation process and its effectiveness in the way high school students choose their educational path. Interviews and a survey were conducted with 74 teachers of different seniority selected from five public high schools in three regional directorates, in the 2018/2019 academic year, Casablanca-Settat region. This study shows from a deep analysis, that the coordination and cooperation with teachers and students in the process of school orientation were very low or null. In this study, scientific research and my experience have shown that the attainment of the desired objectives of high school students' educational guidance can only be achieved through coordination and cooperation between the various actors in the school guidance process. Teacher’s role is very essential since they are the closest to the student and the process of the student's educational orientation must be one of his main and fundamental tasks. It is concluded that public schools with the integration of teachers in the student's educational guidance have more success in the school path, as the participation of teachers in the guidance of their students, improves the process and increases its effectiveness. Our study has allowed us to detect very important results and information on the teacher’s role who must be an advisor in his school and must be a requirement of the process of academic guidance of high school students that we will present and discuss.
