During a summer's study under the auspices of the National Science Foundation,1 our History of Mathematics class encountered a most interesting Eulerian problem in infinite series. The problem is exemplary of an abundance of wonderfully rich and exciting historical materials. Acquiring a background in the history of mathematics is important to the high school teacher, for it provides an invaluable source of problem materials with which to capture the imagination and intellectual energies of students. High school mathematics curricula have often been criticized for not providing students with the opportunity to experience the excitement and the deep creative satisfaction of original se]f directed mathematical research. It is hoped that the development that fo1lows provides an example of a viable mathematics research project for secondary school students.

ABSTRACTNanotechnology and nanoscience have a strong potential to impact society and the commercial sector. It is critical to introduce this area to high school classrooms as a teaching tool. Here, we report the development of ferrofluid-based experimental modules in a team effort including a high school student and a high school teacher. The basic experimental modules were developed as follows: A) Electric motor-based patterning of magnetic nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes on a silicon wafer. Electromagnetically activated or ‘spiked’-ferrofluid was utilized here. B) Basic concepts of wettability, hydrophobicity, and oleophilicity were demonstrated by combining hydrophobic CNTs, water, and ferrofluids. C) Finally, the utility of ferrofluid-based environmental remediation was demonstrated for oil removal from oil-water mixture and organic dye separation from water-dye mixture. It is envisioned that the integration of the developed experimental modules into high school curriculum will motivate high school students to pursue degrees in science, engineering, and nanotechnology. Thus, this will assist in the development of future workforce in the area of nanotechnology and materials science.

Microbiology Research

A partnership between a community college biology professor and a local high school teacher was established to engage high school students in authentic microbiology research. High school students isolated actinomycetes from soil samples and tested them for their ability to produce antimicrobial chemicals. They also designed and carried out their own experiments with these isolates. Laboratory reports, written assignments, and quizzes were used to assess the scientific learning of the subject covered by the research project. The students' attitudes about science and scientific research were assessed using a standardized survey and written reflection questions. In completing this project, the students applied their knowledge of the scientific method and experimental design to address authentic research questions. They also learned several hands-on laboratory skills, including serial dilution, aseptic technique, isolation of pure cultures, Gram staining, microscopy, and antimicrobial testing. Student feedback was overwhelmingly positive – many expressed an increased interest in pursuing a career in science, and most felt that the project helped them gain confidence in their ability to do science. This project illustrates the importance of establishing partnerships between secondary schools and academic institutions to successfully introduce research to younger students.

Student motivation is always a central concern of the junior high school teacher, particularly in mathematics. In the present article we offer a sample unit of mathematics instruction suitable for junior high school students, with two purposes in mind: (1) to illustrate a current theory of learning and motivation, and (2) to offer a model for the construction of other such units. The unit is purposely built around division, since that topic is commonly disliked by both teachers and students.

This present research aims to explore the meaning of jihad among Muslim youths in the context of junior high school students in Padang. Muslim youths at this level are considered to have unique characteristics in expressing diversity, including in the interpretation of jihad. This research discovered that there were five types of definitions of the meaning of jihad proposed by the respondents of the research. First, jihad was seen as earnest in worship, secondly; jihad was meant as being committed to work, third; jihad was interpreted as devotion to parents, fourth; jihad was interpreted as an effort to spread Islamic teachings and the fifth; Jihad was defined as a war against infidels. There were several sources which affected the way respondents interpreted the meaning of jihad, for instance, Islamic teacher (ustāż) around 85%, Quran teacher 73%, parents 59%, religion teacher in elementary school 54%, and junior high school teacher for 51%.

We expect high school students to ask why a particular manipulation is taught, what is the value of a whole area of mathematics, or what, benefit will follow technical adeptness, If we answer only that one skill is acquired to increase facility for another—as trigonometric identities make the solution of certain integrals possible, and truth tables aid in probability—then we may misrepresent and degrade mathematics and hone the unfortunate conviction that, beyond percentages, mathematics is the annoying plaything of teachers, the etherealization of irrelevance.

Teaching and learning process is an interaction between the teacher and students that takes place in learning to achieve learning objectives.Teachers have limitations in teaching students, although there are still many positive things that can be obtained from it, some of the limitations are one of them, students who are less motivated to bring thick books due to weight and so on, in the learning process of Information Communication Technology (ICT) where the use of technology can be implemented in the collection of files and books that can be stored in e-learning media so that students do not need to carry thick and heavy books. Then the schoology-based e-learning learning media was developed for 10th grade high school students. This media development uses three stages of 4-D models. The object of this research is the learning media of barbarian schoology e-learning for 10th grade students. The media schoology was validated by 2 Biology Department lecturers from the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences and 1 Pariaman High School teacher, it was conducted to determine the practicality level of schoology media by the teacher and 10th grade students of Pariaman 1 High School. This research produces schoology-based e-learning media learning products about animalia material for grade X high school / MA students with very valid criteria for validity testing, and very practical criteria for practicality tests for teachers and students.
