Young Consumers

If there is one thing as sure as death and taxes, it is that sixteen is a magic birthday for high school students. On its eve. visions of driver’s licenses dance in their heads. Many of these young men and women will own a car before they are seventeen. Since few of them have unlimited funds, they are very interested to learn ways that automobile costs can be kept to a minimum. Teenagers also derive satisfaction from outsmarting unscrupulous service station operators. This unit is designed to alert high school students to some of the more prevalent service station frauds as they practice computational skills. Apart from this introductory section, the material presented here is addressed directly to the high school student and may be reproduced and used as class handouts. It is hoped that this unit will give some interesting practice in mathematical skills to young consumers. A set of problems for the student is also included and may be photoreproduced by teachers for use in their classes without writing for permission.

The study is aimed to identify urgent problems in the field of communication between young men and women and other significant participants in unregulated interaction. Using standardised test methods, questionnaires were adapted for this study and were collected the primary material that reflects the essential characteristics of unregulated communication between high school students in Russia. The sample of the study was 378 people. The main results were the data indicating a serious gap between high school students’ need to communicate and the actual satisfaction of this need in the interaction with other significant participants. The main meaning of young people’s need for trustful reference unregulated communication is not so much the communicative component as the emotional–affective content, which consists of acceptance, support, emotional exchange and understanding on the part of other people. Currently, there is a gap between the need for unregulated confidential communication of young men and women with significant adults and the real system of such communication. The results were put into the development of recommendations that allow psychologists to build an optimal interaction with family systems and the pedagogical community to optimise communication between high school students. As a prospect for further research, the tasks of developing parent–child relationships are identified.   Keywords: High school students, social interaction, psychological problems, unregulated communication.

For some years, I taught groups of American high school students, who came over to London for four months in order to broaden their experience. They were all about 20 years old and they lived in various parts of the United States. I shared the job of teaching them with three or four other people. Our task, in the words of our contract, was 'to expose them to an exotic culture: that culture, broadly speaking, being the one to befound in Britain, and it must indeed have appeared highly exotic to these young men and women, most of whom had never been outside America before.

Diverse Backgrounds

The lack of diversity among patent holders in the United States (1-3) is a topic that is being discussed by federal policymakers. Available data suggests that prolific patent holders and leading technology innovators are 88.3% male and nearly 94.3% Asian, Pacific Islander, or White, and half of the diversity that does exist is among those who are foreign born (3). The data shows that there is a need for greater diversity among patent holders. Few studies, however, are available to guide the work of educators creating learning opportunities to help young people from diverse backgrounds learn to invent. Educators must navigate issues that have complex sociocultural and historical dimensions (4), which shape the ideas of those surrounding them regarding who can invent, with whom, under what conditions, and for what purposes. In this paper, we report the results of an ongoing multimethod study of an invention education pro- gram that has worked with teachers and students in Grades 6 through 12 for the past 16 years. Findings stem from an analysis of end-of-year experience surveys and interview transcripts of six students (three young men and three young women) who participated in high school InvenTeams®. The data were used to investigate three topics: 1) ways high school students who have participated on an InvenTeam conceptualize the term "failure" and what it means to "learn from failure," 2) what supported and constrained the work of the three young women during their InvenTeams experience and the implications for policy makers concerned about the gender gap in patenting, and 3) ways the young men and young women took up (or didn't take up) the identity of "inventor" after working on a team that developed a working prototype of an invention during the previous school year.

Of the participants, the Middle Ages were few who applied fluorine (17.4%), and many were students (high school students 64.7%, university students 90.9%). Most people brush their teeth after breakfast or dinner. Participants replied that they usually eat a little hard (52.0%) or soft (38.1%) food. One high school student replied that he usually eats soft food. The time to eat was longer than breakfast and then dinner, but it was less than 30 minutes ever for dinner.

Support and engagement with the First Amendment among high school students is at a high level; however, little is known regarding the ways high school students learn about the First Amendment. This study examines what sources students learn about the First Amendment from, and if some sources are considered more valuable than others. This study focuses on three primary possible First Amendment sources: parents, classes, and media. This issue is examined through a survey of high school students. The study indicates that classes are the most frequent, and most valuable, source of First Amendment knowledge.

Why are nearly all of the high school students of to-day asked to include at least one course in algebra on a year's program of study? Is it that one of the uses of algebra is to enable the student to be better prepared to undertake the study of the sciences? A rather large number of instructors in certain science subjects have indicated, on carefully prepared questionnaires, that certain topics in algebra are considered fundamental to the most effective learning of their particular subject. Of immediate importance to us was the series of statements revealing that the easier parts (rather than the long, involved, and difficult aspects) of certain topics were the ones more frequently used in other subjects.

In this article I propose to analyze the social construction of youth among the population of Yaxcabá, Yucatán, Mexico, using ethno-history, linguistics and anthropology. I demonstrate the continuity and differences of what it means to be young in Mayan culture, paying attention to the differences and inequalities between men and women, shown by Mayan language and certain social practices and beliefs. I finally analyze what high school students think about what it means to be Maya, to be young and whether or not they conceive themselves as Mayans.
