How final year high school students' depression develop during COVID-19 in China? A latent class growth modeling analysis.

Depression increased sharply during the initial months of COVID-19, but how it developed over time is rarely explored, especially for adolescents. The current study measured depression of 605 final year high school students in China over 11months in 4 waves. The latent growth curve modeling (LGCM) was used to examine overall trends in depression and latent class growth modeling (LCGM) was used to identify potential subgroups of adolescents' depressive trajectories. At the same time, gender, life events, and rumination were included as time-invariant covariates. Overall, the development of depression in the final year of high school students showed a slight downward trend. Meanwhile, the depression trajectories showed heterogeneity, and three categories of depression trajectories were identified, which were low-stable (24.3%), depression-risk (67.9%), and high-stable (7.8%). Neuroticism, rumination, and life events such as punishment and loss were found to significantly predict these trajectories of depression. This study helps to characterize differential depression trajectories among adolescents throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and establish several related predictors of the trajectory of depression.

Cognitive learning outcomes of physics in national curriculum of Indonesia and International baccalaureate

In education system, a curriculum is needed as a set of plans on the objectives, content, and lesson materials and as a set of guidelines for the implementation of learning activities to achieve certain learning outcomes. Learning outcomes represent what a learner is expected to know, understand, and/or able to demonstrate at the end of period of learning and it is the forefront of educational change. National curriculum of Indonesia has been changed and renewed for multiple times these past years, while International Baccalaureate stands as a rigorous curriculum. This study examines senior year of high school students from national schools using National Curriculum of Indonesia and international schools using International Baccalaureate in Jakarta.

Changing abilities vs. changing tasks: Examining validity degradation with test scores and college performance criteria both assessed longitudinally.

We explore potential explanations for validity degradation using a unique predictive validation data set containing up to four consecutive years of high school students' cognitive test scores and four complete years of those students' college grades. This data set permits analyses that disentangle the effects of predictor-score age and timing of criterion measurements on validity degradation. We investigate the extent to which validity degradation is explained by criterion dynamism versus the limited shelf-life of ability scores. We also explore whether validity degradation is attributable to fluctuations in criterion variability over time and/or GPA contamination from individual differences in course-taking patterns. Analyses of multiyear predictor data suggest that changes to the determinants of performance over time have much stronger effects on validity degradation than does the shelf-life of cognitive test scores. The age of predictor scores had only a modest relationship with criterion-related validity when the criterion measurement occasion was held constant. Practical implications and recommendations for future research are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record

Patterns of Coding in Conversation Texts of the English Zone

The objectives of this study are; (1) to formulate patterns of coding used in conversation texts of the English Zone textbook, 2) to investigate how coding are structured in conversation texts of the English Zone textbook, and 3) to reason why the coding techniques are used in conversation texts of the English Zone textbook. The data were taken from conversation texts of students’ English textbook: English Zone for senior high school students year grade XI (SMA). Descriptive qualitative method was used in this study. There were six conversation texts as the data source was taken from students’ English textbook: English Zone. The findings of this study shown that there are two types of patterns of coding in conversation texts, namely congruent and metaphorical coding. Congruent coding patterns are built in complete mood and residue (at least using mood) and metaphorical coding patterns are built in elliptical mood pattern. Mood and residue pattern is caused by the system of the conversation is using Proposition system. It means the conversation texts involve the statement and question, in another word, the content of the conversation dominantly are about giving and demanding information. It was found that conversation texts convey the simple structure of conversation which means to attract the readers or students to understand easier by using complete mood and residue and elliptical mood pattern of conversation text is in less number. Thus, those conversation text in English Zone textbook written in simple structures in case of language usage to make the message or information easier to understand. Keywords:English Zone Textbook; Congruent and Metaphor Coding;and Proposition System of Conversation Texts

Objectives: To investigate the sleep patterns of Korean adolescents and the subjective perception on their sleep pattern and daytime functioning related to sleep status. Methods: The questionnaire survey was done in 2007 for students in middle and high schools located in Mokdong region in Seoul. The questionnaire included sleep/wake schedules both on school days and weekends, various questions regarding sleepiness and other sleep complaints, and morningness-eveningness scale. Results: The third year of middle school, the first and second year of high school students were enrolled. A total of 1,252 students (boy: 65.3%) participated in the survey. The average bedtime was 12:46 AM and 1:13 AM, respectively and the wake up time was 6:24 AM and 8:35 AM, respectively on school days and weekends. Total sleep time was 6.6±1.1, 5.89±1.1, and 5.65±0.9 hours on school days for students in the third year of middle school, the first year and the second year of high school, respectively. While 57% of students answered that they have sufficient sleep, only 36.7% of students reported they sleep sufficiently almost always. High school students reported shorter optimal sleep duration than middle school students. One third of students had a problem of daily or school life due to sleepiness.
