Ecosystem services of coastal and fisheries resources: Perspectives of high school students in Municipality of Panukulan, Polillo Island, Quezon, Philippines

The study was conducted among three hundred thirty-one (331) high school students (representing 83.59% of the total registered high school students) of Libo National High School in Barangay Libo, Municipality of Panukulan, Polillo Island, Quezon, Philippines, to assess their perception and understanding on the ecosystem functions and services, causes of degradation and destruction, and socio-economic importance of mangroves, seagrasses and coral reefs. Their perception, level of concern, and attitude on local environmental condition, socio-economic, and environmental issues were also determined. Results showed that the students were most knowledgeable on habitat, nursery and breeding ground function of seagrasses and coral reefs, and coastal protection function of mangroves. Majority of the students identified illegal fishing practices, uncontrolled wood harvesting and reclamation as major causes of degradation of coral reefs, mangroves and seagrasses, respectively. However, the students seem to be not familiar or less knowledgeable on the impact of climate change and upland anthropogenic activities to coastal ecosystems. This showed that the students were not able to reflect on the interconnectedness of upland and coastal ecosystems. The study also showed that the students were highly concerned about the quality of water in their traditional drinking wells and springs, degradation of mangroves due to uncontrolled wood cutting, and destruction of coral reef cover due to dynamite fishing. Furthermore, this study showed that the students have a positive environmental attitude, as well as awareness on social and environmental responsibility, and that they will likely participate in coastal resources management activities.

Violence against Teachers in Jordanian Schools

This aim of this study is to examine the reasons for violence against teachers in Jordan from the perspective of high school students. The study followed a qualitative research approach by interviewing (50) students from grade twelve. Students were recruited in this study via the convenience sampling approach. The study revealed that teachers, school administration, school environment, media, and family conditions, were the major causes of student’s violence against teachers. Teachers who experienced violence from students are the cause of this violence due to their actions and practices. Teachers are often exhausted, dispassionate, and overloaded with teaching and administrative duties. As a result, these duties sometimes hinder them not to communicate with students nicely or help students in solving their problems. Other times, students are violent against teachers because some teachers have low academic and educational performances. They are unable to offer counselling and psychological support to students from certain backgrounds. Subsequently, some students lack proper morals and discipline. School administrators are to be held responsible for the violence against teachers because they are unable to meet the students’ needs.

Особенности временных перспектив старшеклассников в миграционно подвижном регионе (на примере Магадана)

The study of personality time perspective in terms of cultural activity approach takes into consideration not only the features of its formation at each stage of ontogeny, but also social conditions. According to the hypothesis of the study, the time perspective of high school students in Magadan region should be linked not only to professional self-determination (which is specific for age), but also with migration intentions and attitudes. The study involved 286 high school students of Magadan. We used the following methods: Questionnaire of professional perspectives and migration systems, Zimbardo ZPTI Questionnaire, the scale of migration settings of personality (by S.A. Kuznetsova). Testing hypotheses with Student t-test showed (at p <0,05), that focus on the future of the Magadan high school students is linked to a greater extent with the migration intentions than with professional plans. Lack of support for the migration settings from relatives of students leads to fixation on the negative past. These results confirm the need for continuing studies of migration systems within the social psychology of development.

The Appraisal of Students' Outlooks Relating the Teacher Skills and Qualifications for the Total Quality Executions

The present investigation directed to appraise the aptitude and qualifications for the total quality implementations of teachers as per the perspectives of high school students. This investigation was conducted with 94 students selected without prior planning from the Near East College. The paper finding indicated that students considered the qualifications for the total quality implementations of their teachers sufficient. In addition to that, there was no significant difference in the perspectives of the students with other gender and the students of different age groups.

Analysis of Carbon Cycle Concepts based on Earth Systems Perspective of High School Students

The purpose of this study is to analyze carbon cycle concepts based on earth systems from the perspective of high school students. The subjects for this study were seven students who have completed Earth-scienceI curriculum. to analyze of carbon cycle concepts based on earth systems perspective, the methods of word association, casual map and drawing were used. The results of this study were as follows: first, 5 out of 7 students have suggested carbon cycle concepts less than three. Second, the carbon cycle concepts on the change of state were 2. Also, the carbon cycle concets on process were 8. Third, 2 out of 7 students present 2 feedback loops, 3 out of 7 students 1 feedback loops, but 2 out of 7 students couldn’t present the feedback loops associated with carbon cycle. Finally, As for carbon cycle concepts through drawing, 1 out of 7 students drew 9 concepts, 3 out of 9 students drew 7 concepts and the rest of them drew 5, 4, 3 concepts respectively. These results suggest that concept and feedback loop thinking skills on carbon cycle are a low level. Therefore, It is suggested that more educational programs be developed on various topics in order for high school students to improve their system thinking skills as well as knowledge integration of earth systems. keywords : Carbon cycle, Concept, Earth system, Earth-science

Emotional Relations With Grandparents and Received Support: The Adolescent View

Following concepts of solidarity and intergenerational ambivalence, the present study focuses on the perspectives of high school students (N = 155) aged 12 to 21 to describe their relationships to maternal and paternal grandparents with respect to (a) emotional quality and (b) grandparental support. Based on the frequency of positive and negative emotions, a classification approach is adopted to determine patterns of relationship quality. Parental lineage differences are found with regard to size and profile of clusters. Cluster comparisons regarding appraisals of received grandparental support (emotional, instrumental, material) indicate that support is significantly diminished if relations become disharmonious or detached.

Goals and design of public physics lectures: perspectives of high-school students, physicsteachers and lecturers

Many large scientific projects and scientific centres incorporate some kind of outreachprogramme. Almost all of these outreach programmes include public scientific lecturesdelivered by practising scientists. In this article, we examine such lectures from theperspectives of: (i) lecturers (7) who are practising scientists acknowledged to be goodpublic lecturers and (ii) audiences composed of high-school students (169) and high-schoolphysics teachers (80) who attended these lectures. We identify and discuss the maingoals as expressed by the lecturers and the audiences, and the correspondencebetween these goals. We also discuss how the lecturers’ goals impact on the designof their lectures and examine how the lecture affects audiences with differentattitudes towards (and interests in) physics. Our findings suggest that the goals ofthe participating lecturers and the expectations of their audiences were highlycongruent. Both believe that a good public scientific lecture must successfullycommunicate state-of-the-art scientific knowledge to the public, while inspiring interestin and appreciation of science. Our findings also suggest that exemplary publicscientific lectures incorporate content, structure and explanatory means thatexplicitly adhere to the lecturers’ goals. We identify and list several design principles.

Student Experiences of Carrying out a Practical Science Investigation Under Direction

This paper reports on the reality of classroom‐based inquiry learning in science, from the perspectives of high school students and their teachers, under a national curriculum attempting to encourage authentic scientific inquiry (as practiced by scientists). A multiple case study approach was taken, utilising qualitative research methods of unobtrusive observation, semi‐structured interviews and document analysis. The findings showed purposeful and focused learning occurring, but students were acquiring a narrow view of scientific inquiry where the thinking was characteristically rote and low‐level. The nature of this learning was strongly influenced by curriculum decisions made by classroom teachers and science departments in response to the assessment requirements of a high stakes national qualification. As a consequence of these decisions, students experienced structured teaching programmes in which they were exposed to programme content that limited the range of methods that scientists use to fair testing and to pedagogies that were substantially didactic in nature. In addition, the use of planning templates and exemplar assessment schedules tended to reduce student learning about experimental design to an exercise in “following the rules” as they engaged in closed rather than open investigations. Thus, the resulting student learning was mechanistic and superficial rather than creative and critical, counter to the aims of the national curriculum policy that is intent on promoting students’ knowledge and capabilities in authentic scientific inquiry.

Language-in-education policy: students' perceptions of the status and role of Xhosa and English

The promotion of multilingualism and the advancement of African languages in South Africa's education system are the two main threads running through language-in-education policy proposals and statements. This policy is manifest in decisions about which languages to include in the school curriculum and which languages to use as languages of learning and teaching (LOLT). This article reports on a study which examined these issues, paying particular attention to the relative role and status of Xhosa and English, from the perspective of high school students studying Xhosa as a first language and English as a second language. The findings show that the students have a preference for English as the LOLT and for life after school but the position of Xhosa as LOLT and school subject is less clear. Implications for teachers and language-in-education planners are considered and it is suggested that research of a more qualitative nature further explore these issues.

Classroom Management: Students’ Perspectives, Goals, and Strategies

This paper presents an alternative viewpoint on classroom management. A field study was conducted to investigate classroom management from the perspective of high school students. Findings suggest that students use six strategies to achieve two major goals during classroom events and that the combination of strategies used by students is based on different context features of each classroom. The teacher’s clear expression of his or her academic and behavioral expectations to students and provision of a cooperative classroom environment for students to achieve their classroom goals are identified as important features affecting students’ views on classroom management.
