The better the school organizational culture, the better the organizational commitment of the school principal. The work motivation variable has a positive and significant relationship with the organizational commitment of the Head of the Medan City Junior High School. The better the work motivation, the better the school principal's organizational commitment will be. Employee benefits variable has a positive and significant relationship with the organizational commitment of the Head of the Medan City Junior High School. The better the employee benefits, the better the school principal's organizational commitment will be. The variables of organizational culture, work motivation, and employee benefits simultaneously have a significant relationship with the organizational commitment of the Head of Medan City Junior High School, with an Fcount of 89.900&gt; F table of 3.156, so a decision is made, H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. As much as 85.20% of the variation in organizational commitment can be explained by organizational culture, work motivation, and rewards, while the remaining 14.80% is explained by other factors, such as variables of work facilities and leadership. It is recommended that school principals need to carry out their responsibilities with full awareness without any compulsion, while the government through the education office needs to provide broad opportunities for school principals to make policies related to schools. Principals need to be given opportunities to develop abilities through education and training, and principals who excel need to be given more appropriate rewards. The principal needs to be given an income by considering the overall work as a school principal, so that the overall income received is more satisfying for the principal. Further research is needed by other researchers using more independent variables to see the relationship with the principal's commitment.

Multimedia Instruction Presented by Integrated Context to Enhance Understanding of Compass-and-Straightedge Construction

Background:This study examined the effectiveness of an integrated context approach to the instruction of basic compass-and-straightedge construction. The formulation of a perpendicular bisector of a segment was used as a knowledge module to guide students from the pre-attention level to the elaboration level of information processing. The students were expected to select and organize information in their working memory for integration with prior knowledge. The knowledge module was presented in a multimedia environment using a pre-training and rehearsal approach.Material and methods:Participants included one hundred and twenty seventh-grade students from four classes in a junior high school in New Taipei City, Taiwan. Participants were randomly divided into two groups to undergo instruction using the traditional context and the proposed integrated context. Students in each group were separated according to prior knowledge (high-achievement vs. low-achievement).Results:In immediate and delayed test results, integrated context learning proved significantly more effective than the traditional context in preparing students to deal with retention problems and transfer problems, regardless of the students’ prior knowledge.Conclusions:These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of integrated context in the instruction of compass-and-straightedge construction; however, the factors that actually facilitate learning have yet to be fully elucidated.

Web‐based reading annotation system with an attention‐based self‐regulated learning mechanism for promoting reading performance

AbstractDue to the rapid development of information technology, web‐based learning has become a dominant trend. That is, learners can often learn anytime and anywhere without being restricted by time and space. Autonomic learning primarily occurs in web‐based learning environments, and self‐regulated learning (SRL) is key to autonomic learning performance. Moreover, sustained attention to web‐based learning activities can be challenging for students. Therefore, a web‐based reading annotation system with an attention‐based self‐regulated learning mechanism (ASRLM), which is based on brainwave detection, is designed to enhance the sustained attention of learners while reading annotated English texts online, and thereby promote online reading performance. In total, 126 Grade 7 students in four classes at a junior high school in New Taipei City, Taiwan, are the participants. Among the four classes, two classes are randomly distributed to the experimental group and the other two classes are randomly distributed to the control group. The experimental group utilizes the ASRLM to support their reading of annotated English texts online, whereas the control group is not supported by the ASRLM while reading annotated English texts online. Experimental results show that sustained attention and reading comprehension of the experimental group are better than those of the control group. Moreover, the web‐based reading system with ASRLM support promotes the sustained attention and reading comprehension of female learners more than those of male learners while reading annotated English texts online. Additionally, learners with high‐SRL ability in the experimental group have better sustained attention and reading comprehension than those learners with low‐SRL ability. Furthermore, the sustained attention and reading comprehension of the experimental group are strongly correlated, and the duration of sustained attention strongly predicts their reading comprehension performance.

We care a lot: Formative research for a social marketing campaign to promote school-based recycling

A city environmental services department aimed to increase recycling in city schools. This study serves as formative research to assist the ESD staff's efforts to encourage pro-recycling knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors to city junior high and high school students. Using a social marketing framework, a review of the literature on antecedents to recycling behavior with a particular focus on adolescents is presented. Based on seven focus groups (total participants N = 62) conducted with adolescents attending city junior high and high school, this study presents formative research findings demonstrating adolescent knowledge, attitudes and behaviors toward recycling. Four recommendations are made: consistent and accessible recycling infrastructure must be in place, an improvement in adolescents’ knowledge of what is and what is not recyclable is important, adult advocates should consider a two-step flow approach using adolescents to promote recycling to adults rather than enhancing adolescent concern for social acceptance, and finally, adolescents may be more globally minded and future-oriented than adults may presume them to be.

Students’ concerns about the transition from elementary to junior high school: a comparison of two cities

Students' level of concerns and expectations about their transition to junior-high schools in two different cities was examined. In one city, junior-high schools (grades 7 to 9), were newly established, whereas heretofore in that city the school system consisted of 8-year elementary schools and 4-year high schools. In a second city junior-high schools had been operating for more then a decade. 952 students, 547 from the city with the new junior-high and 405 from the city with the veteran junior-high, were asked to respond to a questionnaire on the first day of the new academic year. In the analyses of the data students’ SES served as a co-variate. Results show that the students from the city with the new junior high expressed significantly more negative feelings and more concerns regarding their anticipated adjustment to new school then did the students from the city with the veteran junior-high. However, students from both cities expressed concerns and uncertainty at a level high enough to deserve close attention.
