The purpose of this study was to answer the following questions concerning the mathematical achievement of the students in grades ten, eleven, and twelve in forty-three selected Iowa high schools: (1) What degree of mastery of the mathematical skills and concepts described as essential for the ordinary citizen in the Final Report of the Joint Commission of The Mathematics Association of America and The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics1 is attained by high school students? This question involved the dual problem of determining the degree of mastery for each defined concept and skill as well as the degree of mastery of the composite of these concepts and skills. (2) What common errors do students make in applying these concepts and skills? (3) Are there significant differences between grade levels in the degree of mastery of this basic mathematics?

History Of

The Eighteenth Annual Meeting of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics was held at the Palmer House, Chicago, Illinois, February 19–20, 1937. It was the largest meeting in the history of our organization, 836 registered and more than a thousand were in attendance. The Board of Directors met in two sessions and conducted the necessary business for the ensuing year. A trip was made to the Adler Planetarium and a lecture in the Planetarium was enjoyed on the subject, “The Determination of Time and Place.” At 8:00 p.m. the first General Meeting was called to order by President Martha Hildebrandt in the Grand Ball Room of the Palmer House. The Address of Welcome was made by James E. McDade, Assistant Superintendent of Schools, Chicago, Illinois, and the response by Mrs. Florence Brooks Miller, First Vice-President, Shaker Heights, Ohio. Secretary Schreiber made the opening announcements. Professor Albert A. Bennett of Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island addressed the group on the topic “Mathematics and Life.” This was followed by a series of projects in high school mathematics reported by some twenty high school students from Hyde Park High School, Chicago, Illinois, under the direction of Miss Beulah I. Shoesmith. This feature of the program was much appreciated by the audience of some seven hundred teachers.

Using Data

Memories of the Challenger disaster that occurred on 28 January 1986 are still vivid in the minds of many high school students. Thus, using data relating to this event can promote student involvement. This article introduces students to statistics by illustrating its vital role in decision making. Students at various grade levels with varying backgrounds will find this activity motivating and stimulating. Little or no background is necessary to appreciate this application of statistics involving exponential functions, mathematical modeling, probability, and curve sketching.

An upward trend of psychoactive drug use within the lower grade levels was observed among 616 high school students. Although different patterns of drug use exist between parochial and public high school sophomores, by their junior year the two groups were similar. Over half of the public high school students claimed they take drugs either “for kicks” or “for curiosity”.

Scale Scores

This study aims to examine the properties of an Italian version of the Child-Adolescent Perfectionism Scale (CAPS), one of the most widely used instrument for the assessment of self-oriented (SOP) and socially-prescribed (SPP) perfectionism in young people. The study was conducted on two large samples of middle (n = 379, Mage = 11.31) and high school (n = 451, Mage = 15.21) students. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the expected three-factor structure, comprising SOP-Striving, SOP-Critical, and SPP. Multigroup analyses provided evidence of configural, metric, and (partial) scalar measurement invariance across grade levels. Structural invariance (i.e., the invariance of factor variances and covariances) was also established. The scale scores exhibited a differentiated pattern of relations with personality traits and academic achievement, as measured by school grades: SOP-Critical and SPP were positively related to neuroticism and have adverse effects on grades of middle and high school students, respectively. SOP-Striving, by contrast, was positively related to conscientiousness and predicted higher grades. The SOP-Striving-achievement relation was consistent across grade levels and held even after controlling for individual differences in conscientiousness and neuroticism. In sum, results from this study establish sound psychometric properties for an Italian version of the CAPS, providing support for the dual nature of self-oriented perfectionism among adolescents of different ages.

The Impact

The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of students’ grade levels, gender, and interaction between the two on mathematics motivation. In addition, the relationship between students’ various types of mathematics motivation and achievement were examined. Four hundred twenty four elementary school students (186 boys and 238 girls), 588 middle school students (296 boys and 292 girls), and 276 high school students (154 boys and 122 girls) completed the MMS. The findings of this study showed that all types of motivation in mathematics steadily decreased with grade advancement (elementary through high school) with the exception of introjected regulation. Moreover, results indicated a significant gender difference in each type of mathematics motivation, exception regarding intrinsic motivation, where the difference was not significant. In addition, the interaction between grade levels and gender was significant only in students’ introjected regulation; the differences in intrinsic, external regulation, and amotivation were consistent between males and females in different grade levels. Finally, the results revealed a significant relationship between all types of motivation and mathematics achievement as well as overall academic achievement.

The main aim of this study is to comparatively examine the “Studying and Learning Strategies” used by the students of Science and Anatolian High Schools, which are the general secondary instruction level in the Turkish Educational System, at Adana province example in Turkey. The study is a descriptive study, a relational survey model. The population of the study is 9th and 12th grade students who are studying in Anatolian and Science High Schools in the city center of Adana. This study group of this research is consisted of 393 students in 9th and 12th grades who were studying at Adana Science High School and Seyhan İMKB Anatolian High School in the spring term of the 2019-2020 academic year. As a data collection tool, the “Study and Learning Strategies Scale for High School Students” developed by Kutlu, Yapıcı and Korkmaz (2015), consisting of 46 items and five sub-dimensions, was used. As a result of the study, when the “Study and Learning Strategies” of the students are examined according to school types; It has been determined that there is a significant difference in the sub-dimensions of “Repetition” and “Enjoying Learning”. It has been observed that there is a significant difference between male and female students in “Repetition” and “Self-Confidence” sub-dimensions according to the gender of the students. There is no significant difference between the levels of 9th and 12th grade students studying at Science and Anatolian High Schools according to their grade levels.

Degree Of Satisfaction

One of the primary functions of education is to provide students with opportunities to maximize their full potentials in all areas of life. A school's guidance and counseling program's function is to offer a broad spectrum of services to facilitate students' growth and development. These services include but are not limited to individual inventory, information service, counseling, service, placement service, and follow up service. Hence, this paper describes the extent of utilization and the degree of satisfaction of high school students in a Catholic school in Antique during the school year 2019-2020. Likewise, it explores the significant difference in the extent of utilization and the degree of satisfaction vis-à-vis the respondent's sex and grade levels.
