Those who believe that the importance of subject-matter training in mathematics and related fields as a part of the equipment of a teacher should read a recent report of the American Chemical Society's Committee on high school teaching of chemistry which was adopted unanimously at a recent meeting of the Council of the Society in Kansas City, Mo. The report charges that “the high school students now entering our universities and who have entered within the last ten years are much inferior in preparation in mathematics and other fundamental and basic courses to similar students of a generation ago, and the situation is tending, if possible, toward a worse condition.”

Variance and standard deviation, as a kind of discrete function, are an important content in high school teaching, and they are widely used in data statistics. For high school students, they have difficulty understanding abstract concepts such as stability, volatility, and degree of dispersion when they are first exposed to discrete functions. In actual teaching, you can apply “bullseye chart” to “variance” teaching, and use abstract concept diagrams. Demonstration helps high school students to intuitively understand the concept of “variance” and the nature of dispersion.

To highlight the link between colour blindness and school achievement, the Ishihara and Farnsworth tests were administered to 3,565 high school art students (2,545 girls and 1,020 boys). Analysis showed colour defective students were discriminated against in theoretical subject matter, relative to orthochromate students, but not in the art-related subjects. This emphasizes the need to recognize youth with colour defective vision early.

The ““new biology”” of the 21st century is increasingly dependent on mathematics, and preparing high school students to have both strong science and math skills has created major challenges for both disciplines. Researchers and educators in biology and mathematics have been working long hours on a project to create high school teaching modules suitable for both biology and mathematics classrooms, as well as classes held jointly, to help supply teachers with materials that can be used in classrooms attempting to overcome the disciplinary boundaries that often separate them. Biology topics such as evolution, ecology, bioinformatics, and epidemiology are interwoven with a variety of mathematical topics, including algebraic equations, multiplying matrices, algorithms, dynamic programming, probability, and graphing. These modules will be free to educators for a few years. We give an overview of the modules and describe how to obtain them.

Based on the list of Mathematics grade X grade students from T.P 2015/2016 to T.P 2017/2018, there can be seen many significant and positive changes with an increase in students' mastery learning from 40.87% to 48.72% to 80.85%. In addition to increased learning completeness, the average student learning outcomes in mathematics also increased. There is a change in the involvement of students to discuss and cooperate with fellow friends in terms of solving problems given by the teacher. Changes in the activity of students to take part in learning mathematics. The seriousness of students in participating in learning has also increased. The activeness of students in answering oral questions has also increased. This is indicated by the increasing number of students who give correct answers. the activeness of students in completing homework is increasing. This is indicated by the increasing frequency of students completing homework on time. The activeness of students to appear in front of the class solving problems on the board also increased. Students begin to believe in themselves and have the ability to solve the problems given. Based on observation, the teacher has a problem where the students are very familiar with the conventional way, the teacher explains in front of the class while students listen, Building a conducive classroom atmosphere by involving students to be more active sometimes inviting a commotion in the classroom where students initially play more than learn. Building a sense of responsibility to students also becomes difficult because students' demands actually become reversed because the teacher explains a little subject matter and students are directed to further develop material insights through discussion activities and so on. The application of the 2013 curriculum also requires students to understand the implementation of the value of the knowledge acquired so that a variety of practical activities are needed as a tangible form of the implementation of students' mathematical knowledge

Malang has many kinds of traditional art and music and it is important that young people are aware of their local art and music as part of their cultural identity. The purpose of this research was to explore Malang traditional art and music which could be used as learning materials for junior high school students, especially for art and culture subject matter. This research used a qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews, field observation and documentation analysis. The results showed that there is traditional art in Malang which can be used for this purpose, namely pottery from Penanggungan sub-district and batik from Celaket sub-district, which both use traditional elements. This research also identified the traditional music called Malangan Macapat which is different to Central Java Macapat. The conclusion was that these forms of Malang traditional art and music can be developed as learning materials for art and culture subject matter for junior high school students.   Keywords: education, art, music, learning materials, traditional

Abstract Teaching high school economic subjects in high school is an interesting activity, besides that the learning system is different between learning in high school and faculty. Students in schools are no exception for high school students so they want subject teachers who can provide full assistance, sincerity for all the difficulties experienced by students in understanding the subject matter. The teaching experience in high school in the Lecturer-to-School Assignment (PDS) activity shows that a friendly and caring approach is favored by students, besides that teachers need to know what knowledge forms to teach, whether in the form of concepts, facts, formulas / procedures, because others other forms of knowledge the procedure teaches him. In addition, teachers need to think about how to deliver material quickly, concisely, clearly and understood by all students Abstrak Mengajar mata pelajaran ekonomi SMA di SMA merupakan kegiatan yang menarik, selain itu sistem pembelajarannya pun berbeda antara pembelajaran di SMA dengan di fakultas. Siswa-siswa di sekolah tidak terkecuali siswa SMA begitu menginginkan guru-guru mata pelajaran yang dapat memberikan bantuan secara penuh, ikhlas atas semua kesulitan yang dialami siswa dalam memahami materi pelajaran. Pengalaman mengajar di SMA dalam kegiatan Penugasan Dosen ke Sekolah (PDS), menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan bersahabat dan mengayomi lebih disenangi siswa, selain itu guru perlu mengenal bentuk pngetahuan apa yang akan diajarkannya, apakah berupa konsep, fakta, prinsip, rumus/prosedur, karena lain bentuk pengetahuan lain prosedur mngajarkannya. Selain itu guru perlu memikirkan bagaimana cara menyampaikan materi dengan cepat, ringkas, jelas dan dimengerti oleh semua siswa

This mixed method study was conducted to gain a better understanding of technical educational center (TEC) cohort programs at a midwestern urban community college. In a cohort model, the students start a program and progress through the curriculum together until completion (Bista and Cox, 2014). Specifically, the study focused on two student types, high school students who were taking college courses and postsecondary students as well as the TEC cohort faculty. The TEC cohort model was examined to learn more about the graduation rates, continued program enrollment, and student support systems. Due to a gap in the literature about cohort models in relationship to race, ethnicity, and gender, those aspects were also studied. The results of the study found that postsecondary students graduated at a higher rate than high school students. Relationships developed throughout the cohort among classmates and with the faculty were indicated as a contributing factor to program completion. Other themes included cohort model structure, hands-on learning, career opportunities, and student attitudes. The study concluded with a set of four recommendations.
