In addition, the finding showed that the most significant attitude change occurred between the high and low achievement groups. However, no significant difference was observed between the high and medium achievement groups. Dialogic practical work can be used to enhance secondary school attitudes towards physics.

Application of the science model community-based problem solving technology in improving learning outcomes, science process skills, and students scientific attitudes

The STS (science technology and society) learning model teaches students to pay attention to problems that then emerge as other impacts of the use of new technologies in social life. Whereas the Problem Solving learning model teaches students to be trained in problem-solving using creative ways. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of the application of STS based problem-solving learning models on the learning outcomes, science process skills, scientific attitude of senior high school 6 Ambon. The research was conducted from January to February 2020. The research design was a quasi-experimental study using a non-equivalent group design. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics using the ANCOVA and ANOVA tests. Descriptive statistics are used to explain the range of research data on cognitive learning outcomes, science process skills, and scientific attitudes in the table. ANCOVA test is used to analyze the effect of learning models on cognitive learning outcomes. ANOVA test is used to analyze the effect of learning models on scientific process skills and scientific attitudes. The results showed that the distribution of cognitive learning outcomes, science process skills, and scientific attitudes of students in the experimental class taught using STS based problem solving learning models were better than students taught using conventional learning models (STAD). ANCOVA statistical test shows that the significant value is 0,000 <0.05. This shows that the learning model influences students' cognitive learning outcomes. ANOVA statistical test showed that the significant value was 0,000 <0.05. This shows that the learning model influences the science process skills and scientific attitude. The stages in the STS based problem solving learning models can accommodate cognitive learning outcomes, process skills, and scientific attitudes of senior high school 6 Ambon on Environmental Friendly Technology material.

The case for philosophy for children in kenyan schools

The significance of value-based education in character development and inculcation of ethical citizenship attitudes in Kenyan schools cannot be overemphasized. In the recent past, cases of unethical behaviour among primary school-going children and those who have graduated from this important segment of education have been on the rise, despite the various interventions by the Kenyan government to integrate value concerns in the curriculum. Since 2020, there has been a sharp increase in the cases of student-led arsons in learning institutions in Kenya. From independence, the government of Kenya adopted an indirect approach of value education that advocates for integration of values within regular curriculum. This strategy seems ineffective owing to an increase in the cases of indiscipline among learners. This study seeks to examine the application of Philosophy for Children (P4C) as the architecture for implementing value-based education and the realization of Chapter Six of the Constitution of Kenya because the values thatP4C aims to nurture are highly consistent with those of the Kenyan Constitution. Through P4C, the Kenyan Education system can achieve its goal of preparing responsible and ethical citizens of high moral integrity. Chapter Six of the Kenyan Constitution has laid the cornerstone principles of Leadership, Integrity and elements of ethical citizenship. It dictates the code of conduct for state officers and responsible citizenry. Through the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), the Ministry of Education seeks to inculcate these principles in the learners at an early age.

A remediation measure as an alternative to grade retention: A study on achievement motivation

AbstractThis study investigates the effects of an alternative approach to grade retention, known as a “remediation measure.” This measure was tested in 2010–2011 in two high schools in Quebec (Canada) and its effects on students' achievement motivation were analyzed. Specifically, the evolution of general and domain‐specific expectancy and value perceptions of 74 students who failed Grade 8 and experienced this measure (Mage = 14.81 years) were compared with those of 42 same‐age peers (Mage = 14.84 years) who graduated to Grade 9. This evolution was also examined as a function of teachers' support and friends' school attitudes. This measure appeared to have a favorable effect on competence beliefs, in general, and in French. However, the results did not reveal any moderating effects of teacher support and friends' school attitudes. Findings are discussed in light of research evidence concerning the role of social influence on achievement motivation.

Attitudes of Schools and Parents toward Students with Learning Difficulties inside the Schools

We've been hearing a lot about students with learning difficulties in recent years. Some schools, as well as some parents, have refused to acknowledge this fact. Schools refused to allow students with learning difficulties in their classes, and parents refused to accept that their children had learning difficulties and needed assistance. Many students' hopes were lost as a result of such a mentality; they were lost and had no one to support and assist them. The aim of this Structured Literature Review is to investigate teachers’ and social attitudes toward students with learning difficulties. This research adopted articles to gather reliable data in order to conduct a survey of teachers', parents', and society's attitudes toward students with learning difficulties. It goes through the importance of attitudes, as well as the position of teachers, teaching methods, and specialized curriculum for students with learning difficulties. The results of this research were consistent with previous researches, which concluded that it is essential to adapt the learning background to meet the needs of students with various learning difficulties. Following good interventions would therefore contribute to the maintenance of positive attitudes, the improvement of learners' levels, and the assistance of teachers in dealing with them in a way that benefits them. At the conclusion of this research, it was suggested that further research be done into the factors that lead to the growth of positive attitudes.

Friends' Influence on Academic Performance Among Early Adolescents: The Role of Social Status

Educational research has shown that academic achievement and peer relationships are associated from early school years, where friends play a significant role in influencing students' school adjustment, attitudes, and behaviors. The present study examines how individual academic performance is associated with friendships among 240 5th and 6th graders. The information on students' friendships, academic performance, gender, popularity, and social preference was collected in a convenience sample from 8 classrooms of 2 private-subsidized schools in Santiago, Chile. Longitudinal social network analysis (RSiena) was used to study the co-evolution of academic performance and friendship dynamics, by assessing simultaneously selection and influence processes, and by incorporating social status covariates (popularity and social preference) as moderators of friendship selection and influence. Results showed that friendships were more likely to occur between same-sex peers and between students with similar social status. Regarding social influence, friends influenced individual's academic performance. Moreover, socially preferred students were more likely to be influenced by friends' academic performance, but the same did not occur for popular students. These results might suggest that socially preferred students' attributes (cooperation, reciprocity, and high-quality friendships) would facilitate the influence of academic performance. In contrast, popular students would be less sensitive to their friends' academic performance focusing instead on salient behaviors (e.g., aggression). The findings underline the importance of understanding social network dynamics in educational settings.
