In deciding what mathematics should be taught at any grade level it is necessary to know the mathematical needs of the students. However, unless we subscribe to the doctrine that no one should learn more about anything than he will need to live at that particular age level, we must also consider the future needs of the students as well. I do not subscribe to this doctrine, hence in this discussion considerable weight will be given to the mathematical needs of adults in deciding what shall be taught to children. This seems especially necessary at the high school level, since, in the case of mathematics, the student is often taking his last course in the subject.

Being able to read in English is very important. Success in reading is the most necessary because it is a basic tool of education. Based on the syllabus of Islamic Senior high School Hidayatul Mubtadiin (MAHM), it is hoped that students should comprehend monolog texts in narrative, spoof and hortatory exposition forms well. After doing preliminary observation at MAHM, some of the students of the second year still had low ability in their reading comprehension. The dominant factors influencing their low reading comprehension are the lack of vocabulary and teaching strategy of reading comprehension. From the two of dominant factors, the researcher is interested to investigate about teaching reading comprehension. Thus, the researcher conducted a research on the effect of Multipass strategy on Reading comprehension. This research investigates students’ reading comprehension taught by using multipass strategy at MAHM Siak Sri Inderapura. The design of this study was Quasi-experimental research by post-test only. The subject of this research was the second year students of MAHM. The total population was 42 students, and the sample was 42 students. Data were collected by using a test. Then, the data were analyzed by using t-test formula. It was found that there was a significant effect of using multi pass strategy on students’ reading comprehension at MAHM.

BACKGROUND Hypertension (HTN) remains a global risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, with an estimated 442 million to 874 million SBP of ≥ 140 mmHg from 1990 to 2015 correspondingly. HTN prevalence ranges from 25% to 48% in Ghana. There is limited studies on HTN and youth in Ghana, particularly, none has been conducted on the adolescents/youth at the Senior High School level, and therefore this paper seeks to provide literature to fill this vacuum. OBJECTIVE To assess the current prevalence of HTN and pre HTN of the youth of Ghana, estimate the future prevalence and propose possible interventions METHODS A three-phase community based cross-sectional study was conducted. Participants were selected using a multi staged random method. Questionnaires were distributed to participants to collect data on socio-demographics, while a face to face blood pressure screening was also performed on them. RESULTS A total participant of 372 finished the screening and formed the final analysis Majority of the participants were aged between 15- 17 and above 18 years (176/47.3% with CI: 95: 42.2-52.3 and 178/47.8% with CI: 95: 43.4-53.0 respectively), at the SHS level of education and youthful. The study found low level of knowledge within its participants. A little more than thirty percent (30.1%) were pre-hypertensive, 5.1% with stage one HTN and .6% with stage two HTN. There were positive associations between Weight, Hip circumference for male, metabolic syndrome and type of foods regularly eaten by the participants with hypertension CONCLUSIONS The future workforces of Ghana who are at the Senior High School (SHS) level are at a probable risk to early HTN. Increasing education at this stage within the curricular of the education system in Ghana may be a step forward

Astronomical Research

AbstractSince the early 1990s with the arrival of a variety of new technologies, the capacity for authentic astronomical research at the high school level has skyrocketed. This potential, however, has not realised the bright-eyed hopes and dreams of the early pioneers who expected to revolutionise science education through the use of telescopes and other astronomical instrumentation in the classroom. In this paper, a general history and analysis of these attempts is presented. We define what we classify as an Astronomy Research in the Classroom (ARiC) project and note the major dimensions on which these projects differ before describing the 22 major student research projects active since the early 1990s. This is followed by a discussion of the major issues identified that affected the success of these projects and provide suggestions for similar attempts in the future.

The University

In 1985, the National University of Mexico (UNAM) created a series of updating courses for high-school level teachers, both as an answer to an explicit demand of the teachers themselves, who asked for “fresh” information in their fields, and as an effort to improve the general level of undergraduate students, whose grades in the entrance examinations to the University had been secularly decreasing for years. To date, three “packages” of intensive 50-hour courses have been offered (during the three summer vacation periods) and Astronomy has been present in all of them. However, it should be mentioned that this presence was due only to the personal interest of the director of the project, since the subject “Astronomy” is not included in the official programs. In the following, we present a brief description of the courses and some interesting results.

In his 2011 State of the Union address, President Barack Obama echoed the sentiments of this nation's leaders for the past twenty years when he stated, “Nations like China and India realized…they could compete in this new world. So they started educating their children earlier and longer, with greater emphasis on math and science. They're investing in research and new technologies…. Maintaining our leadership in research and technology is crucial to America's success. But if we want to win the future—if we want innovation to produce jobs in America and not overseas—then we also have to win the race to educate our kids.” The Bergen County Academies (BCA) in Hackensack, NJ, is attempting to do just that: invest in research and technology at the high school level in order to expose students to real world opportunities and applications they will experience in the future.

ملخص البحث:لمادة الأدب في المرحلة الثانوية أهمية كبيرة في رفع مستوى الطلبة اللغوي وفي غرس حبِّهم لتذوق الجمال الأدبي. وتعدّ مادة الأدب العربي في مدارس المرحلة الثانوية الدينية بماليزيا من المواد الإجبارية في الشهادة الثانوية الدينية العالية الماليزية، لكن الملاحظ أن النصوص الأدبية التي يدرسها الطلبة في تلك المادة لم يكن اختيارها مبنيّاً على أُسس علمية واضحة، فكان من نتائج ذلك أن أولئك الطلبة استشعروا صعوبة فهْم تلك النصوص وعسْر تعلّمها، ولعل هذا يعدّ من أسباب تدنّي مستوى طلبة المرحلة الثانوية في اللغة العربية، لأن تلك النصوص لا تشجّعهم على الاستمرار في قراءتها، لأنها ليست سلسة بل بعضها غامضة وصعبة الفهم، لذا يهدف هذا البحث إلى إبراز جوانب القصور في اختيار تلك النصوص من ناحية الشكل والمحتوى، أما الشكل فسيُكتشف فيه جانب اختيار المفردات والتراكيب وحجم النص، بينما المحتوى سيُبرز فيه الجانب الثقافي والنفسي والتربوي لمضامين تلك النصوص. وسيقترح البحث بعض النماذج المختارة من النصوص الأدبية العربية التي تتناسب مع مستوى طلبة هذه المرحلة، وفي نهاية البحث ستُستخلص نتائج ومقترحات تفيد المهتميّن والمختصِّين في وضع الكتاب المدرسي عند اختيار النصوص المناسبة لمادة الأدب العربي.الكلمات المفتاحية: مادة الأدب العربي- الشهادة الثانوية الدينية العالية الماليزية (STAM)- النصوص الأدبية العربية- معايير اختيار النص الأدبي- تقويم النص الأدبي.Abstract:The subject of literature is significant on the secondary level to raise the language competency level of students and to cultivate their interest in literary sensibility. The literary subject in the syllabus of Malaysian high school religious certificate is compulsory. Unfortunately, there are no clear tenets for the selection of the literary texts in the subject. Consequently, the perception among students is that the texts are beyond comprehension and learning. It is possible to claim that this might be one of the explanations to the decline in the competency in Arabic among those students.  The students do not feel encouraged to read continuously the texts since they are difficult, ambiguous and complicated. This paper attempts to point out the shortcomings in the selection of the structure and content of those texts. Structurally, the study focuses on the selection aspect of the words, phrases and size of the text. As for the content, the aspects of culture, psychology and education of the texts are the focus of discussion. The paper will recommend a number of alternative Arabic texts that would suit the level of those students. Finally, the paper concludes a number of recommendations for the parties involved in textbook syllabus to take into consideration to select properly texts for this purpose.Keyword: Arabic literature subject– Malaysian High School Religious Examination– Arabic Literary Texts– Standards of selecting Arabic Literary Texts– Assessment of literary text.Abstrak:Mata pelajaran sastera pada peringkat sekolah menengah merupakan subjek penting untuk meningkatkan tahap kecekapan pelajar-pelajar dalam menggunakan bahasa dan memupuk minat mereka terhadap bidang kesusasteraan. Begitu juga dengan mata pelajaran sastera Arab yang diajar di sekolah-sekolah menengah agama di Malaysia, malah ia merupakan subjek wajib bagi peperiksaan Sijil Tinggi Agama Malaysia (STAM). Walau bagaimanapun, pemilihan teks-teks sastera yang diajarkan kepada para pelajar dalam subjek ini tidak mengikut asas yang jelas. Akibatnya, para pelajar berasa sukar untuk memahami dan mempelajari teks-teks tersebut. Keadaan ini mungkin menjadi salah satu sebab penurunan tahap pencapaian pelajar-pelajar sekolah menengah dalam bahasa Arab. Hal ini kerana teks-teks sastera yang digunakan rumit dan sukar difahami, bahkan tidak menggalakkan para pelajar untuk meneruskan bacaan. Oleh yang demikian, kajian ini berusaha untuk memaparkan kekurangan dan kelemahan terhadap pemilihan teks-teks sastera yang digunakan sama ada dari segi isi kandungan atau pun binaannya. Dari sudut binaan, perbincangan akan difokuskan kepada aspek pemilihan perkataan, frasa dan saiz teks, manakala dari segi isi kandungan perbincangan akan difokuskan kepada aspek kebudayaan, psikologi dan pendidikan yang terdapat dalam teks-teks tersebut. Kajian turut mencadangkan beberapa contoh teks-teks sastera Arab lain yang sesuai dengan tahap para pelajar. Dapatan kajian dan saranan pemilihan teks-teks sastera yang bertepatan dengan mata pelajaran sastera Arab akan dibentangkan pada akhir kajian. Perkara ini penting bagi pihak yang terlibat dengan pembikinan buku teks untuk mengambil tindakan sewajarnya. Kata kunci: Mata pelajaran sastera Arab- Sijil Tinggi Agama Malaysia (STAM)- Teks-teks sastera Arab- Piawaian pemilihan teks sastera- Penilaian teks sastera.

In the subject, “High School Mathematics in the Univeristy,” I believe I have found a title which will permit me to discuss almost anything. For it might be interpreted to mean “what mathematics will the high school graduate need if he comes to the university,” or it might be interpreted to mean “what courses in mathematics on the high school level should the university provide for the student who comes with an insufficient mathematics preparation”? Furthermore, although it may not be immediately obvious, I believe that this topic is in close accord with our general theme, “mathematics to meet social needs.” Too often meeting social needs is thought to mean merely dashing about trying to find quick cures for deep-seated and little understood social ills, or making solemn pronouncements about the Social Order, or learning how to keep one's bank balance straight to say nothing of learning how to acquire and keep a bank balance of any kind. But, if we are to make some attempt to solve the great social problems of our day, it is hardly open to question that we must have knowledge, not only about the socalled Social Sciences, but about everything which interests and influences people in their individual and social behavior. This means knowledge of just about everything under the sun. To get this knowledge, and to apply it intelligently to the solution of these problems requires serious and concentrated study. Much of it is most economically secured by studying at a college or university. To pursue such studies effectively, the student cannot dispense with at least some mathematics, and in some fields, he obviously cannot have too much mathematics. And there are even those who will study mathe mathematics for its own sake. However, these are few in number; for, although mathematics is generally referred to as the handmaiden of the sciences, it is usually a case of “often a bridesmaid, but never a bride.”
