The impact of COVID-19 on reading behaviors among high school students through the adoption of mobile learning

In this study, the impact of COVID-19 lockdown on Jordanian high school students’ reading habits and attitudes was examined. COVID-19 has indeed affected education systems all over the world; education institutions all over the world were compelled to implement innovative technological approaches so that education could still be delivered to students, fulfilling the academic expectations, while the Sustainable Learning and Education (SLE) ideals are consistently embraced. One of these approaches has been the use of mobile learning applications (MLA). These applications (MLAs) employ some prominent features of mobile apps, to allow students to collaborate and participate in purposeful online learning. Still, the success of any technology is dictated by the acceptance of the user, in this context, the acceptance of students. In other words, student acceptance of MLA will determine the success of MLA. Accordingly, the effect of COVID-19 lockdown on the information behavior of high school students was examined in this study, with MLA being used by these students. Data were gathered from 394 high school students in Jordan. These students were chosen randomly, and they were all mobile phone users. The data covered the 2022–2023 fall term and were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Based on the analyses results: Self-Efficacy and Perceived Compatibility had significant impact on Perceived Performance Expectancy and Perceived Effort Expectancy; Perceived Convenience and Perceived Effort Expectancy had significant impact on Perceived Performance Expectancy; Perceived Enjoyment had significant impact on the Behavioral Intention to use MLA; COVID-19 had significant impact on the Behavioral Intention to use MLA; Perceived Compatibility showed no significant impact on Perceived Enjoyment; and Perceived Effort Expectancy, Perceived Performance Expectancy and Perceived Compatibility showed no significant impact on the Behavioral Intention to use MLA. The outcomes of this study demonstrate a practical indication in support of digital information behavior among high school students in this era.

Reducing violent student behavior through culturally based counseling: Mediation analysis of the fairness

This study investigates the impact of Iso Trimorogo counseling, a culture-based counseling approach rooted in Tri Dharma Mangkunegaran Philosophy, on reducing violent behavior in high school students by fostering the character trait of fairness. The research involved 120 high school students from Central Java Province, Indonesia divided into an experimental group receiving Iso Trimorogo counseling and a control group subjected to conventional counseling methods. The efficacy of the counseling was assessed using a fairness character scale and a bullying behavior scale, administered pre- and post-treatment. The study employed bootstrapping analysis with 5000 resampling iterations, maintaining an error threshold of 5% (p < 0.005). The results indicated a significant direct effect of Iso Trimorogo counseling in diminishing violent behavior (F = 9.027) and an indirect effect through the mediation of fairness character development (F = 4.026), with a negative correlation between fairness character and violent behavior (R = 0.389). These findings underscore the importance of integrating character education, particularly focusing on fairness, in counseling strategies to effectively address violent behavior in schools. The study advocates for the adoption of culture-based counseling approaches like Iso Trimorogo in educational settings to enhance student behavior and character development.

The attitude of senior pupils to the role of a witness to cyberbullying

Cyberbullying as a scientific problem is one of the popular topics in foreign and domestic literature, but the main attention of researchers is primarily focused on the relationship that arises between the aggressor and the victim. The purpose of the study, the results of which are recorded in the article, is to identify personal characteristics that contribute to or hinder the manifestations of adequate behavior of high school students who have witnessed a cyberbullying situation. The key research tool was the Cyberbullying Witness Behavior Questionnaire. An additional analysis of the personal characteristics of high school students was carried out by means of an Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire and a Short questionnaire of the "dark triad" of qualities; socio-demographic information about the respondents was also collected. In total, 268 high school students aged 16 to 18 years took part in the study (approximately an equal number of girls and boys). The study showed that an adequate type of perception of cyberbullying situations prevails in this age group, but there were also some contradictions that were fixed in the processes of interaction between parents and teachers. Students of boys and girls aged 16-18 years, who have a higher level of empathy and emotional intelligence, show a more adequate attitude to the role of a witness to cyberbullying, while schoolchildren whose personalities are characterized by elements of psychopathic accentuation are more likely to show an inadequate attitude in the appropriate situation. In conclusion, the authors conclude that systematic work on the development of aggressive behavior control skills among high school students, taking into account all personal characteristics, will contribute to reducing the number of manifestations of violence in relationships within high school students' collectives.

Analysis of Factors That Influence Snack Food Selection Behavior in High School Students

BPOM findings from 2006-2010 showed that as many as 48% of school children's snacks did not meet food safety requirements because they contained dangerous chemicals. Snacking behaviour is influenced by several factors, including knowledge, attitudes, peers, and family involvement in getting used to breakfast or providing food from home to be taken to school. This research analyses the factors influencing snack food selection behaviour among high school students. The method in this research is to examine literature reviews with the study sources used coming from published journals in Indonesia and having an ISSN relating to research. As a result of research from 124 articles reviewed, five reports were finally obtained; it was found that there was an influence of knowledge, attitudes, health education and the role of authoritarianism on high school children's snack choices. Shows that knowledge, attitudes, health education and authoritarian roles influence food choices in children or adolescents; there are three factors, namely: (1) predisposing factors, namely factors that facilitate and underlie the occurrence of specific behaviour; (2) supporting factors that enable particular behaviour to occur, such as information media, health service infrastructure, and (3) reinforcing factors are factors that strengthen the occurrence of specific behaviour (the role of parents and the role of teachers).

Perception and behavior of high school students towards developing problem solving and creativity skills to solve physics assignments

This study aimed to explore the learning approaches and preferences of high school students in Vietnam when studying physics. A survey was completed by 2,040 students from ten different schools on improving problem-solving and creativity skills to solve physics assignments. The survey included eight topics related to homework, exchange, problem-solving tactics, and an emphasis on real-life applications of physics concepts. The results showed that the majority of students preferred essay-style calculus homework and sometimes exchanged and discussed ideas with their peers. In addition, most students focused on only some of the steps involved in solving physics problems, self-analyzed and expanded their solutions, and related the exercise content to real-life situations. The study also found that students preferred physics exercises with clear facts and suggestive questions, while a quarter of students preferred exercises with specific facts and clear questions. Furthermore, only a small percentage of students had a deep understanding of the ten core competencies outlined in the General Education Program of 2018. These findings have important implications for physics teachers in Vietnam, indicating the need for more opportunities for discussion and encouraging a comprehensive problem-solving approach. The study suggests incorporating more real-life applications of physics concepts into teaching to help students see the relevance of what they are learning.

Need for cognitive closure and prosocial behavior in high school students: The role of perspective taking and empathic concern

What impact does a strong desire for cognitive closure have on an individual's social competence? The need for cognitive closure has been examined in conjunction with a broad spectrum of psychological constructs, encompassing empathy as well. However, there have been few studies that have investigated how the need for cognitive closure affects social competence, particularly prosocial behavior. For this reason, the present study examines the impact of individuals' dispositional need for cognitive closure on prosocial behavior. Specifically, it explores the role of empathy, including perspective-taking and empathic concern, in explaining this relationship. The hypothesis proposed that a higher level of need for closure would be negatively related to prosocial behavior due to its negative association with perspective-taking and, consequently, empathic concern. Our findings provided support for the hypothesis in a sample of high school students (N = 332). The current study underscores the importance of epistemic motivation for closure in affecting social competence behaviors, highlighting the significant roles played by cognitive and affective empathy within this framework. These findings are particularly important, especially in educational settings, because these behaviors have the potential to influence students' relationships, school well-being, and other educational outcomes.

Determinant Factors of Smart Risk-Taking Behavior: An Empirical Analysis of Indonesian High School Students' Chemistry Learning

<p style="text-align:justify">This article aims to identify the psychological factors of students that correlate with the smart risk-taking behavior of high school students in Indonesia. The data in this study were distributed to 227 students from 3 (three) regions in Indonesia and evaluated using the Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis technique. This study found that students' self-confidence was the biggest factor influencing the increase in smart risk-taking behavior, followed by the intention to learn chemistry and teacher support responses. These three factors were found to positively and significantly influence smart risk-taking behavior. However, we found that the smart risk-taking behavior of high school students in Indonesia is still poor. Therefore, it is necessary to have a learning strategy to utilize information technology in chemistry learning. We made several contributions, such as (a) developing a conceptual framework of psychological factors that can increase students' smart risk-taking behavior in chemistry learning that has not been extensively researched and developed by previous researchers; and (b) mapping out how the three psychological factors of students can be maximized to increase smart risk-taking behavior. For this reason, this research is expected to provide practical and academic contributions that can be used as a reference for bank management and further research.</p>

Student Interview-Informed Behavior Contracts for High School Students Identified as at Risk

Addressing the challenging behavior of students requires evidence-based interventions that can be implemented in school settings; however, there is a relative lack of literature investigating effective strategies for high school students in secondary settings. Behavior contracts have been used to address challenging behavior in elementary and middle settings but less so in high school settings. Furthermore, the extent to which they have involved student input at the high school level has been unclear despite research indicating that collaborative intervention development processes may be associated with several additional benefits beyond effectiveness. Despite these empirical shortcomings, behavior contracts may be well suited to address individual high school students’ challenging behavior given their flexibility, collaborative nature, and use of goal setting and clearly stated contingencies (i.e., rules) to promote behavior change. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the acceptability and effectiveness of a structured interview-informed behavior contract intervention to address the disruptive behavior of high school students. Specifically, we used a multiple baseline design across three students and found that the interview-informed behavior contracts were effective in increasing their academically engaged behavior (Tau = .62) and decreasing disruptive and passive off-task behavior. Limitations and future directions are discussed.
