Survey and Analysis of Adolescent Reproductive Health Education for High School Students on a Global Scale

To improve adolescent reproductive health education, the main goal of this survey was to evaluate the knowledge level of high school students regarding reproductive health. A random sampling questionnaire survey method was used and high school students in urban areas were selected as the research participants on a global scale. The results showed that the Internet was the main source of related knowledge for high school students in China. The rate of sexual activity during high school in Europe was significantly higher than that in China. In terms of education from parents, there was a significant difference between the proportion of high school students that had sexual knowledge-related conversations with their parents in mainland China and those in other countries. It should be advocated to gather resources and power from the whole society to care about comprehensive adolescent sexuality education.

Support of pre-professional development of high school students focused on teaching professions

All teaching professions are at high importance for children, their parents, and society at whole. Teachers, their skills and personality, play a big role in the development and education of young generations. Children usually make decisions to be a teacher at young ages, and support in this decision, pre-professional development helps them to be a good teacher in the future. There are different programs and method which help schoolchildren in this process. In this article few topics had been discussed: results of all-Russian monitoring of pre-professional education of high-school students, focused on teaching professions; main factors of vocational choice; forms and methods of pre-professional support. The main questions of our study were as follows: under what conditions within the framework of the system of General and High Education it is possible to help the high-school students determine the near and far prospects of his personal and professional development before entering Teaching University or College, what should be the content of this work? Few programs, existing in various regions of the Russian Federation are discussed. The conditions for the pedagogical support for the formation of professional readiness for further teaching were identified: the creation of a specially organized educational and socializing environment, such as pre-university programs, or school-based programs (local or Regional); different kinds of Olympiads and competitions; taking into consideration the characteristics of students.

Jak godzić ogień z wodą? Między ministerialnym dyktatem… a potrzebami współczesnych uczniów. Projektowanie kształcenia w klasie I licealnej (po szkole podstawowej)

The text of the articleis a proposal of a way of working in the new high school (after primary school), whichfunctions in the conditions set by the structural and curriculum reform. The author distances himself from the concept of historical and literary education, at the same time showing the inability to maintain the problematic order in literary and cultural education under the conditions of implementing the obligation of the core curriculum. In opposition to the sanctioned model of education in the education of high school students, it proposes a concept of work that, on the one hand, respects the curriculum requirements, and on the otherhand, meets the authentic needs and expectations of students, and includes broadly understood popular culture in the scope of teaching interests. Such thinking is exemplified by the presentation of anexcerpt from the work plan implemented in the firstgrades of the new high school. It is provided with a commentary that reveals the difficulties of such an organization of literary and cultural education in the current curriculum conditions.

ЕФЕКТИВНЕ ВИКОРИСТАННЯ ЗАСОБІВ МУЛЬТИМЕДІА В ПРОЦЕСІ РЕАЛІЗАЦІЇ ПРОБЛЕМНОГО МЕТОДУ НАВЧАННЯ У ПРОФІЛЬНІЙ ШКОЛІ

The article examines the methodological features of the use of information and technical means of the new generation (multimedia tools) in the process of implementing problem-based learning of students in the automotive industry; their didactic possibilities are revealed and creative directions of use in the process of mastering professional knowledge by high school students are determined. The advantages of using the new generation of information technology tools is the visualization of any objects or events in real time, which increases the motivation of young students during the mastery of the first working profession and in the process of independent learning. The results of the research in the form of developed educational and methodical materials provide the appropriate level of emotional perception and activity of students. Some of the developments have been introduced into the educational process on the automotive business of the Novoukrainsky interschool educational and production complex of labor training and vocational guidance of students.

Acceptability Evaluation of the Use of Virtual Reality Games in Smoking-Prevention Education for High School Students: Prospective Observational Study.

BackgroundAlternative forms of cigarettes, such as electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), are becoming increasingly common among adolescents. Many high schools now provide smoking-prevention education in an attempt to minimize the potential negative health effects and illness burdens e-cigarettes may induce in adolescents. However, it is often difficult to motivate young students to engage with traditional education regarding the harmful effects of tobacco; thus, the development of alternative approaches may be required.ObjectiveIn this study, we aimed to conduct an acceptability evaluation of educational virtual reality games designed to support smoking-prevention measures. We based the acceptability evaluation on the following two experience types: game-playing and content-learning experiences. The paths by which these experience types affect the intention to abstain from smoking were also examined.MethodsWe applied a prospective observational study design. We developed educational games based on three-dimensional virtual reality technology, in which participants operated joysticks to complete challenge tasks. To increase the possibility of the games fostering motivation to abstain from smoking, the ARCS motivational model (comprising attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction) was used as a framework during the games’ design. We measured the participants’ game-playing experiences by inquiring about the strength of the ARCS elements; content-learning experiences were measured using overall knowledge improvement and the perceived persuasiveness of the content. A total of 130 students participated in the program. Study hypotheses for this evaluation were derived from a literature review. We used partial least squares structural equation modeling to examine the proposed hypotheses.ResultsBased on the responses of the students to questionnaire items concerning attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction in the context of the games, most students agreed or strongly agreed that the educational games were motivational, and that their game-playing experiences were positive. Regarding content-learning experiences, there was a significant improvement in knowledge (t129=25.67, P<.001), and most students perceived themselves as being persuaded to abstain from smoking. Attention, relevance, and satisfaction significantly influenced perceived persuasiveness (t=3.19, P<.001; t=4.28, P<.001; and t=3.49, P<.001, respectively); however, confidence did not (t=0.42, P=.67). Perceived persuasiveness, relevance, and satisfaction significantly influenced the intention to abstain from smoking (t=3.57, P<.001). In addition to directly affecting the intention to abstain from smoking, indirect effects were observed from both relevance and satisfaction to intention via perceived persuasiveness (t=2.87, P=.004 and t=2.11, P=.04, respectively). However, intention was not significantly influenced by knowledge improvement.ConclusionsOur findings revealed that the educational games were positively accepted by the participating students. This indicates that the integration of the ARCS framework and persuasive strategies is applicable for smoking-prevention education. We recommend that the games be included as teaching materials for smoking-prevention education.

Seattle Children’s Virtual Research Training Program: Pivoting to Remote Science Education for High School Students

Seattle Children’s Research Institute has built a series of in-person education programs to inspire and empower students to explore futures in biomedical research and healthcare. The COVID-19 pandemic prevented us from offering an in-person laboratory program, forcing a rapid pivot to an online format. The Virtual Research Training Program (VRTP) was a one-week summer experience for high school students, including students from groups that are under-represented in STEM. The curriculum introduced topics such as biochemistry, immunology and immunotherapy, and global and public health. Also included were laboratory demonstrations to emphasize cutting-edge applications for healthcare and discussions regarding college and career preparation. Key challenges included converting the in-person curriculum into a digestible virtual format, becoming proficient with the technology to provide for a seamless end-user experience with equitable access, and establishing quantifiable metrics for evaluation. Students reported statistically significant gains with large effect sizes in knowledge about science concepts and laboratory procedures, and in preparation for college and future STEM careers. Students were also engaged by asking questions, indicating their active participation despite the online environment. This article discusses the adaptation of an in-person laboratory program into a virtual program as a potential model for increasing remote access to science education.

Evaluation of the Forms of Education of High School Students Using a Hybrid Model Based on Various Optimization Methods and a Neural Network

This article deals with the multicriteria programming model to optimize the time of completing home assignments by school students in both in-class and online forms of teaching. To develop a solution, we defined 12 criteria influencing the school exercises’ effectiveness. In this amount, five criteria describe exercises themselves and seven others the conditions at which the exercises are completed. We used these criteria to design a neural network, which output influences target function and the search for optimal values with three optimization techniques: backtracking search optimization algorithm (BSA), particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO), and genetic algorithm (GA). We propose to represent the findings for the optimal time to complete homework as a Pareto set.

A missing piece in high school science education: Research ethics in the classroom

ABSTRACT High school students need more comprehensive scientific inquiry learning instruction through research ethics education. Yet, this topic is often overlooked in the science curriculum. To collect basic data to guide research ethics education for high school students, this study documents the kinds of research misconduct students commit, the contexts in which they do so, and the factors that influence such misconduct. Data were collected via questionnaires from 223 gifted high school students at science academies in Korea. The results showed that high school students engaged in the most research misconduct in experiment-based classes rather than in mentorship programmes and science fair competitions. The largest number of data fabrication and falsification instances were seen in experiment-based classes. A regression analysis on the effect of influencing factors on each research misconduct type showed that falsification and plagiarism can be reduced by increasing education and regulation and lowering desire and neglect, whereas duplicate publications can be reduced by decreasing desire and neglect levels.

Evaluating the Long-term Effectiveness of English Language Coursebooks at Turkish Public High Schools

In this pre-use evaluation study, the long-term effectiveness of the contents of the English language coursebooks provided by the Ministry of Turkish National Education for high school students (i.e., 9th to 12th graders) in Turkey were evaluated, exploiting Tomlinson and Masuhara’s (2013) fifteen universal coursebook evaluation criteria. In so doing, the evaluators initially used the criteria independently to evaluate the coursebooks before achieving a consensus on their average scores. They discussed each criterion along with the effectiveness of the activities in two units (i.e., Unit 2 & Unit 7). The results indicated that the coursebooks are potentially quite effective in respect of providing students with communicative opportunities, use of idioms, integrated technology, self-evaluation opportunities, and illustrations in use. Conversely, some of the common deficient characteristics of the coursebooks encompass the lack of activities that promote the use of English as a lingua franca, being void of opportunities for students to continue learning English after the course, offering no flexibility for effective localization and insufficient catering for the needs of the students. All in all, the coursebooks can only be partially effective in facilitating long-term acquisition of English.

The article considers the peculiarities of the classification of methods of military-patriotic education of high school students in the process of pre-conscription training, substantiates the feasibility of developing a comprehensive system of teaching methods for the subject "Defense of Ukraine". The traditional approaches to the classification of methods of military-patriotic education are considered. The diversity of views of scholars is consistent with a comprehensive approach to grouping the content and essence of methods, resulting in four groups of methods, their combinations and concepts characteristic of military-patriotic education: methods of forming patriotic consciousness, views and beliefs in pre-conscription youth, methods of organization military-patriotic activity and formation of personal experience of behavior of pre-conscription youth, methods of stimulation and motivation of military-patriotic activity and behavior of pre-conscription youth, methods of self-education and self-preparation of pre-conscription youth for military service.

FORMS AND METHODS OF DEVELOPING THE USE OF FOLK MOVEMENT GAMES IN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

The article analyzes the role of folk movement games in the system of physical education in the comprehensive physical development of high school students and the formation of their positive moral and emotional-volitional qualities. The use of outdoor folk movement games in the process of physical education of high school students is one of the most effective means of harmonious development of a physically healthy and spiritually rich person.The priority of a child’s physical development is determined by people’s place in life, lifestyle, circumstances, and needs. For centuries, human labor has faced such challenges because too much physical effort has been crucial to overcoming these problems. Strength and endurance, perseverance and dexterity are highly valued among the people. Parents strive to instill these qualities in their children. In addition, people have realized that physical education is inseparable from other factors in shaping a person.

The need for sleep and circadian education in Australian high schools: incidental results from a survey of university students.

To describe the need for high school sleep education from the perspective of undergraduate university students. Undergraduate students who completed an online course on sleep and circadian health were surveyed 6months after course completion. Students were asked whether a similar course would have benefited them as high school students, and about the need for sleep education in high schools. Thematic analysis of this qualitative data was carried out. Eighty-nine students who had attended 71 unique high schools provided responses. Eight-one per cent thought they would have benefitted from a similar course during high school and identified domains of sleep knowledge particularly relevant to high school students. They cited environmental barriers to healthy sleep present during high school and believed that sleep education could improve students' lifestyle, sleep and performance. Nineteen per cent of students said they would not have benefited, because they perceived sleeping patterns during high school to be nonmodifiable or believed that previous sleep education was sufficient. Of the respondents who did not think students would benefit, 53% would still tell their high school principal that there was a need for sleep education. The findings support the need for engaging sleep education for high school students. Future studies should examine the perspectives of students in high school directly, rather than undergraduate students who have already shown an interest in sleep health. SO WHAT?: Sleep health is missing from the Australian school curriculum. Online courses may be an engaging method of promoting sleep and circadian health to high school students.
