The aim of this study is to observe the application of SLC (science learning cycle) model on improving scientific literacy for secondary vocational schools at physics. Through this research, it will be known its influence of learning methods and contribution to the understanding of physics concepts and student independence learning. This research is a quasi-experimental design with pretest and posttest control group which the independent variable is learning the method and the dependent variable is the conceptual understanding. The result shows that there is an effect of teaching method on the dependent variable. It also shows that the conceptual understanding of the students in the treatment group who applied methods SLC is better than the control group.

This study aimed to describe the ability of student teachers of biology at Pasundan University in developing assessment and remedial based on local wisdom (local wisdom). This research uses descriptive quantitative and comparative approach, the data obtained by the data analysis described to obtain information or a description of these results, further students' ability in comparison. Tests of significance using parametric tests with two-tailed t-test. The population in this study as many as 197 students were divided into 38 groups, 38 groups divided into each of 19 groups and 19 groups remedial assessment. The sample in this research is divided each as much as 13 groups. Data collected by the non-test, the data obtained from a document or report student assignments given a score based on the indicators are divided into several aspects of assessment, data analysis was performed by descriptive statistical. The results showed that the ability of student teachers of biology in developing assessment based on local wisdom including both categories with an average score of 62.23. Remedial teacher's ability to develop based on local wisdom included in the category enough with an average score of 64.31. The highest average score for the assessment is on the aspects of integration of local wisdom values of 71.92 and the lowest score on the aspect of validity assessment amounting to 56.92. The highest average score for remedial namely the implementation aspects of 71.54 and the lowest scores on originality aspects of 53.38. The test results show that the significance of the t (t) of -0.488, t table (t table) two tails at 2.179. p-value of 0.635.

The study on reflective journal writing (RJW) and its benefits as assessed by the teachers has long been an inclination in mathematics education. However, little research has been done to explore the feelings of students towards RJW and how such has an effect on their mathematics learning. This study aimed to describe the feelings of the students about RJW. Being a qualitative type of research study, data were acquired through focus group discussion and were analyzed using axial coding. Results revealed that RJW (i) provided opportunities for the students to construct meaning and express personal views and ideas; (ii) built a connection between the teacher and the students; (iii) through the use of prompts, allowed the students to relate mathematics to real-life facts improving their understanding of the subject; (iv) helped the students build association of ideas using their prior knowledge and experiences; and (v) enabled the students to develop self-awareness. The findings suggest that when students are engaged in reflective writing experiences which explicitly promote meaning-making or self-questioning, teachers create an opportunity for them to see how the process of writing can enrich their mathematical learning.

The study aimed at assessing how students and teachers factor taken together influence students’ achievement in Statistics as well as their relative contribution to the prediction. Two research questions were raised and purposive sampling was adopted to select national diploma year 2 students since they are already in their final level in the school. Intact number of lecturers of Statistics department and year 2 Statistics students were used for the study. Students Questionnaire (SQ), Teaching Staff Scale (TSS), and Statistics Achievement Test (SAT) were used for data collection and analyzed using descriptive and multiple regression. The results showed that the 6 variables taken together had significant contribution to students’ achievement in Statistics and accounted for 80.82% of the variation in students’ achievement in Statistics. It was recommended that stakeholders in provision of Statistics education at the monotechnic institutions level must consider the four variables that contributed significantly to achievement seriously during planning for the Statistics education programmes for optimum achievement of students in Statistics.

This article provides an overview of school wastage, namely repetition and dropout in primary and secondary schools in Morocco. It describes how this phenomenon has progressed since school was implemented in the 1960s. It shows that the fundamental principles of the education system established in the aftermath of Morocco’s independence in 1956 did not succeed in providing a clear, stable education program. The article concludes that despite the tremendous efforts made in enrollment, school wastage persists, and the educational system is still trapped in the idealistic principles of the 1960s, causing education to flounder in the dramatic triangle of schooling, generalization, and dropout.

This study was designed as a case study. The study was conducted in Anatolian Fine Arts High School during the spring semester of 2014-2015 academic year. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 10 students from 9th and 10th grades who voluntarily participated in the study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the 10 students named at the end of every activity. Assure instructional design model was used while designing digital storytelling activities. The data obtained from the study were analyzed through thematic analysis based on qualitative research method. Reliability method suggested by Miles and Huberman was used for reliability assessment of the study. The reliability of the thematic coding of the results was found to be 0,95 as a result of assessments. Based on the findings that digital storytelling has multidisciplinary interaction competence, it is thought that it will be appropriate to conduct future studies in different schools and fields.
