Published: November 2020

One important aspect of Visuospatial Reasoning is the ability to rotate an object mentally. Presently, one of the most popular and widely used test of Mental Rotation is the Redrawn version of Vandenberg & Kuse Mental Rotation test (VMRT) However, this test has often been criticised to be more difficult because of its complicated scoring system. Present study compared this standard test of mental rotation ability with a newly constructed test with less number of items and less complicated scoring system. We collected data from 147 adolescent school students (Mean age=13.10 years; SD=1.84) by administering both the tests consecutively. Findings showed that VMRT has very high difficulty index as compared to the newly constructed test. The latter also proved to be a more reliable and valid measure of mental rotation ability as compared to VMRT. Discussion focused on the relative advantage of the newly constructed test for assessing mental rotation ability.

Published: November 2020

Background: Depression is one among the disorders that have always been targeted by researchers in India. In South India the prevalence is 15.1%. Large number of studies has been published from India revealing various aspects of this commonly prevalent disorder, but there is limited evidence for the non-adherence to anti depressants in India. Aim: To assess the reasons contributing for non adherence in patients with depression. Method: This is a prospective, observational study, conducted in a tertiary care teaching hospital, Guntur. Medication adherence was assessed using the eight-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) and a self administered questionnaire during the period of 1st February 2015 to 31st July 2015(i.e. 6months). Results: A total of 60 patients met the inclusion criteria; 68.3% are females and 31.6% are males. Among those, 3 (5%) are highly adherent, 17 (28.33%) are moderately adherent and 40 (66.67%) are poorly adherent. Conclusion: The overall Non adherence rate is found to be high in the study. The results presented suggest that pharmacist instructions may improve adherence in depression. Clinical pharmacist in this regard has a major role to play in uplifting and improving the quality of life of the patient.

Use of Mnemonics for Teaching Mathematics at the Primary Level
Authors: Nidhi  , Suman
Published: November 2020

A good understanding of mathematics is necessary not only for academics; rather it is also a fundamental skill which is required in a person’s personal, social, and work life. Mathematics today owes a huge debt to the outstanding contributions made by Indian mathematicians over many hundreds of years. However, nowadays Indian students underperform in mathematics. As per the Seventh Annual Survey of Education Report (ASER), 2012, of rural India, school enrolment has risen but there is a decline in attendance, over-reliance on private tuitions and decline in reading and mathematical ability of children in the age group between six and 14. In order to improve performance in mathematics and ensure that our students are equipped with the mathematical skills needed to succeed in a global marketplace, there is a need to start from the basics at primary level. The major reason for the difficulty in comprehending mathematical concepts is their abstract nature, inability to translate mathematical meaning to real -world entities and lack of multi-step problem solving skill. Thus, use of innovative techniques which make the mathematical concepts concrete and help in memorizing the basics along with inculcation of basic mathematical concepts and skills could be useful in improving the mathematical ability. The present paper considers some mnemonic techniques which could be easily incorporated in the regular classroom teaching methodology for enhancing mathematical skills and performance.

Published: November 2020

The present study examined the group and gender deference in Perceived social support (PSS) on a sample of HIV/AIDS orphans and non- HIV/AIDS orphans. The sample of the study consisted of 236 orphans (116 HIV/AIDS orphans and 120 non- HIV/AIDS orphans) the mean age of HIV/AIDS orphans, 11.66 years and mean age of non-HIV/AIDS orphans, 11.78 years living in the north Indian orphanages. The tools employed for present study is PSS scale for children consisting of 30 items and comprising of three subscales assessing the source of the emotional support (i.e., family, friends, or teacher). Result related to MANOVA indicates that significant group difference (F=2.66, p<0.05) and significant gender difference (F=2.66, p<0.05) was found in HIV/AIDS orphans and non-HIV/AIDS orphans on perceived social support. The present research explored low PSS of HIV/AIDS orphans living in Indian orphanages. PSS plays a protective role in dealing with psychosocial outcomes of HIV/AIDS orphans. Strong perception of support from cares, siblings, school teachers, school principal, friends, and others may reduce the deleterious effects of exposure to illness and psychological problems.
Women Empowerment in Indian Culture: A Review
Authors: Harshida Patel  , Ankit Patel
Published: November 2020

In Indian Culture Women empowerment is a debatable subject. Women constitute almost 50% of the world’s population but India has shown disproportionate sex ratio whereby female’s population has been comparatively lower than males. As far as their social status is concerned, they are not treated as equal to men in all the places. In the Western societies, the women have got equal right and status with men in all walks of life. But gender disabilities and discriminations are found in India even today. The paradoxical situation has such that she was sometimes concerned as Goddess and at other times merely as slave.

In spite of the enormous promise that polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) materials hold for various applications, the fabrication of high-quality, binder-free PCN films and electrodes has been a largely elusive goal to date. Here we tackle this challenge by devising, for the first time, a sol–gel approach that enables facile preparation of thin films based on poly(heptazine imide) (PHI), a polymer belonging to the PCN family. The sol–gel process capitalizes on the use of a water-soluble PHI precursor that allows formation of a non-covalent hydrogel. The hydrogel can be deposited on conductive substrates resulting in formation of mechanically stable polymeric thin layers. The resulting photoanodes exhibit unprecedented PEC performance in alcohol reforming and selective (~100%) conversions with very high photocurrents down to ~0 V vs. RHE, which enables even effective operation under bias-free conditions. The robust binder-free films derived from sol–gel processing of water-soluble PCN thus represent a new paradigm for high-performance ‘soft-matter’ photoelectrocatalytic systems, and pave the way for further applications in which high-quality PCN films are required.

Published: November 2020

Herein, we have successfully unveiled a simple and inexpensive removable aliphatic template as an effective DG template in promoting remote meta-C−H olefination of arenes for the first time. Remarkably, the template was achieved in excellent yields in just two steps and without column chromatography purification. The protocol is an efficient, economical and practical approach in achieving meta-C−H olefination in good to excellent isolated yields and high levels of meta-selectivity under mild conditions. A wide variety of substituted arenes and olefin coupling partners are well tolerated in this reaction. Moreover, the aliphatic template is found to be advantageous due to its easy synthesis, easy installation/removal, and recycle. We believe that this strategy offers new opportunities for the future development of new DG templates to promote site-selective C−H functionalizations.
Mechanochemical Prebiotic Peptide Bond Formation

Published: November 2020

The presence of amino acids on the prebiotic Earth, either stemming from endogenous chemical routes or delivered by meteorites, is consensually accepted. In contrast, prebiotically plausible pathways to achieve peptides from unactivated amino acids are still unclear since most oligomerization approaches rely on thermodynamically disfavored reactions in solution. Alternative hypotheses such as the prebiotic impact scenario postulate that the mechanical impacts from meteorites and geochemical phenomena played an important role in delivering exogenous material to Earth, thus providing the geochemical, mechanical, and thermal conditions to synthesize small prebiotic organic compounds in the absence of bulk liquid media. In this context, here we evaluate the applicability of mechanochemistry by ball milling for peptide bond formation under a prebiotic impact scenario. We found that the combination of mechanical forces and prebiotically plausible and ubiquitous minerals as activators enable the oligomerization of amino acids such as glycine in the absence of bulk water (or solvents) and at ambient temperature. Increasing the mechanochemical reactor’s temperature is shown to favor the degree of polymerization concomitantly with the formation of cyclic glycine dimer [cyclo(Gly2) or DKP], a product commonly considered as a dead-end in solution peptide bond formation. However, our study shows that DKP can be mechanochemically activated and used as a source for glycine oligomers. The findings of this research provide alternative mechanochemical routes towards oligopeptides and establish new synthetic approaches for prebiotic chemistry that are not limited by poor diffusion of the reactants, thus complementing the current alternating wetting and drying prebiotic environment strategy.
Case studies on the association of Iron Deficiency Anemia with Thrombocytopenia and Reactive Thrombocytosis
Authors: Nalini Jeyaprakash  , Sudha M
Published: November 2020

Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) is the most prevalent blood disorder. Iron deficiency stands as a major cause for most of the anemia cases in the country. So, suggestions and efforts are being made to signify the importance of iron in regular diet and in the form of supplementation. Iron deficiency can be addressed effectively but when untreated it can lead to other severe disorders. Thrombocytosis and Thrombocytopenia are two interlinked related to iron deficiency in most cases. Literature suggests that Reactive thrombocytosis (RT) is common in patients with iron deficiency. This study focusses on the retrospective investigations and correlation of the relationship between the ferritin content, anemia, platelet counts and normalization of the same with iron supplementation. Out of the 165 patients, 72 were fit for the study after subjecting to the exclusion criteria of inflammatory diseases, infections, neoplasms etc. These 72 were segregated on the basis of the diagnosis of Thrombocytosis or Thrombocytopenia to establish proper correlation. 61 of 72 patients were diagnosed with thrombocytosis which constituted about 84.72% of the selected patients. 11 of 72 patients were diagnosed with thrombocytopenia. In this study it is clearly evident that both reactive thrombocytosis and thrombocytopenia are resultant of IDA. The platelet levels were elevated in many patients and in few their levels were lowered . The determining factor of platelets count is ferritin saturation. The changes in the iron saturation resulted in both elevation and depression in the platelet count. The platelet morphology lead to the changes in the platelet parameters. it can be advocated that both the conditions are rare and can occur concurrently in patients with IDA.

Published: November 2020

Dengue is a systemic viral infection transmitted between humans by Aedes mosquitoes. Dengue is a viral infection which originates from mosquitoes. Dengue is caused by a virus called the dengue virus (DENV). Most notably, there are four major DENV serotypes. Therefore it is possible to be diseased by either four or all four of them. As seen in most cases, DENV infections usually cause a mild infection, but it can also lead to an acute flu-like illness. Occasionally this proliferates into a possibly deadly problem, called severe dengue. The Detection and mapping of Dengue risk areas is a multifaceted, tiring, complicated and extended task requiring evaluation of many criteria. It is not sure that always one single factor is liable for Dengue Fever transmission in all areas, but it differs with changing geographical location. The main objective of the present study is to prepare an environmental risk mapping for dengue transmission in a rural area, Tamil Nadu and access the level of risk the people of that area are in and how susceptible they are to dengue. A total of 40 houses were observed for risks of dengue using a questionnaire and by looking around the house for possible hotspots after screening for inclusion and exclusion criteria. There is hence a need for educational programs to facilitate awareness and promote sensible practices to avoid dengue. Every individual should also follow precautionary guidelines taking into consideration the risk dengue. This study serves to spotlight the possible current risk in contracting dengue due to poor household habits and lack of awareness in a rural area.

Dentro de la vida cotidiana existen personas invisibilizadas de las cuales se hace necesario aportar para evitar tal irresponsabilidad como seres humanos desde todos los espacios que se pueda trabajar. Las personas con todos los tipos de discapacidad deben poder gozar de todos los derechos humanos y libertades fundamentales. Hay más de mil millones de personas que viven con discapacidades alrededor del mundo. Nos hemos propuestos hacer una revisión bibliográfica que busca describir las declaraciones y manifestaciones de las principales organizaciones e investigadores relacionadas con los derechos de las personas con discapacidad durante la pandemia COVID-19. Se ha tomado como palabras claves discapacidad y COVID-19 para la búsqueda de publicaciones y documentos que puedan aportar al objetivo y poderlas plasmar de manera organizada y resumida en los resultados de la presente investigación. La pandemia, ya a estas alturas temporales de su desarrollo ha tenido un impacto emocional, el “detenimiento” del ritmo de vida ha logrado re-valorar el tiempo, la disposición y el uso de los recursos. Como punto reflexivo final, la vulnerabilidad generalizada respecto al virus nos ha hecho conscientes de la vulnerabilidad ajena y desde la concepción de las realidades individuales hemos logrado y estamos trabajando en una nueva valuación de nuestras oportunidades y sobretodo de nuestras capacidades de cuidar y ser cuidados.

THE TECHNOLOGICAL APPROACH TO THE STUDYING OF LITERATURE IN SCHOOL
Authors: Ostrovska Galina
Published: November 2020

The article covers the issue of using a technological approach in the construction of literature lessons. The educational achievements in the sphere of the problem, modern possibilities of innovative educational technologies, and their role in a modeling of school literature lessons are analyzed.
The technology of the constructed scientific literature has been revealed, focusing on the reading ability of a teacher, his (her) cognitive activity in using modern pedagogical and information technologies.
Improving the effectiveness of teaching literature in a technological pedagogical process is associated with the formation of the teacher’s readiness to model a holistic system of lessons as an algorithm of step-by-step student-reader actions based on a deep understanding of lesson structure and logic, taking into account clear goals and objectives at each stage, rational use of time and modern technologies.
It is claimed that the introduction of modern information technologies in the study of fiction at school has a positive impact on the perception of works of previous eras, bridges the gap in time, increases interest in literature and a teacher-innovator, increases the level of modern literary education. Therefore, the technological lesson is a clear algorithm that provides a systematic way of its construction, connects general didactic, methodical and artistic aspects of the lesson, acts as an indicator of its modernity and efficiency.
The article indicates the typical disadvantages of introducing modern technologies by teachers and the construction of a lesson based on a technological approach. The author draws attention to the main contradiction in the work of linguists – a misunderstanding of the difference between a technologically structured lesson and a lesson with technology warns against literal technologicalization in the work of a teacher of philology.
EFFECTIVENESS EVALUATION OF THE POSTGRADUATE PROGRAM IN MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING IN UKRAINE
Authors: Kreimeyer Joshua , Zaporozhets Olya , Smith Jacqueline , Lozova Olga
Published: November 2020

Ukraine is a country that has lacked access to adequately trained mental health professionals. As in other countries the development of the field of Counseling in Ukraine has some parallels to that of the US. One of the most notable parallels is the push for a better and more effective approach to mental health, driven by the impact of war, with WWII being the catalyst for refinement in the US and current war in Ukraine as the drive there. As the American Psychology Association and American Counseling Association have highlighted, the effects of trauma and unresolved problems do not need to last a lifetime. A developing initiative in Ukraine was brought by U.S.-based teams that established a postgraduate Counselor Education Program. Professional American Counselor Educators, trained in the trenches of wars abroad and representing vast ranges of experience, have volunteered their time as visiting faculty and distance supervisors. This study measures the initial progression of treatment symptomology of clients seen by Postgraduate Program in Psychological Counseling and Trauma Therapy trained Counselors. This study utilized an analysis of repeated measures over the first five sessions of counseling with the program-trained Counselor. The following measurement methods were utilized: Outcome Rating Scale (ORS), Impact Event Scale (IES-R), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI II), PTSD Checklist (PCL-5), Symptom Checklist (SCL-9). The resulting data obtained from the clients was compared to the outcomes of treatment with similarly trained therapists in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and Denmark. Results indicated overall significance as measured on 3 out of 5 instruments (ORS, BDI-II, IES-R). The data from this sample revealed similarities to the outcomes of comparable early treatment research, conducted outside of Ukraine. These results provide a preliminary overview of how effective mental health counselors (educated by the American standards) are in mitigating client mental health symptomology. This study is a logical and necessary step in the continued development of the field of Counseling in Ukraine.
Sadri Ertem’in Bacayı İndir Bacayı Kaldır adlı hikâyesini toprak etiği bağlamında okumak

Published: November 2020

Sürekli artan insan nüfusu ve insan merkezli, tüketim odaklı ekonomi yaklaşımlarının yarattığı endüstrilerin doğada oluşturduğu tahribat, gezegenin sürdürülebilirliğini zedeleyerek doğanın geleceğini tehdit etmektedir. Son yıllarda küresel ısınma ve iklim değişikliğinin tehlikeli etkileri hissedilmeye başlamış; taşkınlar, erozyonlar gibi felaketler, küresel iklim krizinin endişe verici boyutlara ulaştığının işaretlerini vermiştir. Ekolojik kriz, edebiyat araştırmalarında doğanın geleceğini sorgulama ve koruma odaklı tepkileri artırmış, bu tepkilerin niteliğini geliştirmiştir. Bu noktada “çevreci eleştiri” başlığı altında sürdürülen akademik çalışmalar, doğa hakkını ortaya koyan, savunan ve pekiştiren, insanı doğaya yönelik ciddi bir sorumluluk duymaya iten, gezegen merkezli bir yaklaşımı savunmaktadır. Yirminci yüzyılın en etkili düşünürlerden biri olan Amerikalı doğa korumacı ekolog, eğitimci ve doğa yazarı Aldo Leopold tarafından 1949 yılında ortaya atılan “toprak etiği” kavramına göre insan, insan merkezli yönelimlerden tamamen farklı olarak, “toprak piramidi”nin diğer katmanları gibi sade bir üye olarak yeniden tanımlanır. Bu yazının amacı, yeni Türk edebiyatı tarihinde yirminci yüzyılda toplumsal sorunlara odaklanan öykü ve romanlarıyla tanınan Sadri Ertem (1898-1943)’in Bacayı İndir Bacayı Kaldır (1933) adlı hikâyesini toprak etiği bağlamında çevreci bir bakış açısıyla değerlendirmek ve söz konusu hikâyedeki ekolojik işlevsel boyutu ortaya çıkarmaktır. Bacayı İndir Bacayı Kaldır’daki insan ve kapital merkezli endişeler yüzünden yoğun bir tahribata maruz kalan, bozulan toprak imgesi, toprağın ekosistemin diğer ögeleriyle arasındaki yaşamsal işlev ve ilişkilerine etkileri söz konusu etik yaklaşım ışığında tartışmaya açılacaktır.
Comparison of oocyte maturity rates in recombinant Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) and triptorelin acetate triggers: A prospective randomized study
Authors: Lakshmanan S , Saravanan M , Senthil P , Sharma N
Published: November 2020

Luteinizing Hormone (LH) like exposure in the mid cycle for inducing the oocyte maturation is the very crucial step in the success of ICSI treatment. Introduction of LH surge endogenously by GnRH-agonist for ﬁnal oocyte maturation induction, may be more physiological compared with the administration of HCG. Since GnRH agonist would induce FSH surge also along with LH surge, as happens in natural cycle. However, the effects of giving HCG trigger for inducing only LH surge and giving GnRH agonist trigger for inducing both LH and FSH surge, in patients treated for ICSI with GnRH antagonists need more research. Sub fertile patients planned for ICSI, meeting the requirement of inclusion criteria, were started with recombinant FSH from day 2 of menstrual cycle. GnRH antagonists were started from day 6 of stimulation. FSH dose was adjusted according to the individual response. Trigger was planned when the lead follicle reaches 24 mm. For triggering, 100 patients were randomized to receive Recombinant HCG trigger and Triptorelin acetate trigger. Oocyte retrieval was done 36 hours after Recombinant hCG Trigger and 35 hours after Triptorelin acetate trigger. The oocyte maturity rate was assessed by the number of metaphase II oocytes retrieved.

Published: November 2020

Introduction: Uterine rupture is one of the peripartum complications, which cause nearly about one out of thirteen maternal deaths. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and associated factors of mortality among women with uterine rupture in referral hospitals of Lubumbashi, in the south east part of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Methods: Institution based cross sectional study was conducted from December 1st, 2012 to 31st, 2016 on uterine rupture. During the study selected 158 women were included by using exhaustive sampling method. Data were checked, coded and analyzed into STATA version 12. Chi-square test was used to identify the predictors of maternal and perinatal mortalities in women with uterine rupture and 95% Confidence Interval of odds ratio at p - value less than 0.05 was taken as a significance level. Results: The overall prevalence of uterine rupture was 0.49%. The average age of the patients was 29.5 ± 6.2 years and 71.52% of them were between 20 and 34 years old; more than 60% had a parity ≥4 (average parity: 4.7 ± 2.5). 81.17% of the cases had a fully ruptured uterus and 51.17% of the uterine ruptures were located in the lower segment. Repair of the pregnant ruptured uterus was performed in 93.04% of the cases and hysterectomy in 5.06%. Maternal and perinatal mortalities were 8.86% and 72.04% respectively. Regarding maternal mortality, no parameter showed a significant association with maternal death. As for perinatal mortality, parity ≥4, complete rupture and segmento-corporeal lesion were significantly associated with perinatal death (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Uterine rupture remains one of the causes of maternal and perinatal mortality in Lubumbashi. The place occupied by uterine ruptures in obstetric activity requires joint and urgent action by all stakeholders in the health system in order to combat this scourge, witness to poor quality obstetric care.

Authors: Pino Torrens Ricardo Enrique , Urías Arbolaez Graciela de la Caridad
Published: November 2020

El pensar sobre las guías didácticas constituye un tema de discusión renovado en los momentos actuales, con el propósito de contribuir a este debate se reflexiona en estas páginas. Se entiende la guía didáctica como recurso didáctico que integra en sí mismo otros recursos y componentes del proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje como los objetivos, los contenidos, estrategias metodológicas, los recursos de apoyo a las estrategias, las formas de organizar el proceso y las estrategias de evaluación, las cuales se personalizan por el trabajo de planificación del docente y las posibilidades, carencias y necesidades satisfechas por los estudiantes. Por su amplitud, las guías pueden organizar una tarea docente, una clase con varias tareas, una unidad, un curso, disciplinas integradoras, por tanto, puede considerarse una guía o un sistema de guías didácticas. La estructura funcional de las guías didácticas es variada, dado factores contextuales como, características y nivel de desarrollo de los estudiantes, preparación del docente en el área de conocimiento y la didáctica, entre otros. Las guías didácticas pueden elaborarse para diversidad de modalidades de aprendizaje, formas de organizar la enseñanza-aprendizaje e independencia de los estudiantes. El ensayo propone la reflexión sobre aspectos teóricos y prácticos relacionados con las guías didácticas.

A Contrastive Study on the C-E Translation of the Verb of Perception zhijian from the Perspective of Subjective Consciousness and Objective Consciousness
Authors: Lu Huidan
Published: November 2020

Verbs of perception include sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch, of which zhijian belongs to sight is very common in literary works, and its semantic meaning also begins to change with the development of time. Based on the original text and two translated versions of the Water Margin, this paper makes a comparative analysis of the translation strategies of zhijian on the basis that Chinese emphasizes subjective consciousness and the mixed consciousness of subjectivity and objectivity, while English stresses objective consciousness with a clear boundary between subjectivity and objectivity. According to previous studies, this paper regroups the appearance of zhijian and divides it into two categories, namely zhijian at the beginning of a sentence and at the beginning of a minor sentence. On the basis of the context and the changing function of zhijian, that is, the function of being a verb and being a discourse marker, it can be concluded that as the meaning of a verb, the real action, the meaning of zhijian is expressed by “seeing”, so translators usually adopt literal translation; while as a discourse marker, it is no longer the main component of sentence structure, but to highlight the following information, translators will adopt deletion, conversion and retaining. It can be seen that translators often need to convert Chinese characterized by subjective consciousness into English dominated by objective consciousness, thus conforming to various meaning of zhijian.
Review and Evaluation on the Sociocultural Theory and Bottleneck Hypothesis
Authors: Xu Fan
Published: November 2020

Over the past three decades, a growing number of different theories in second language acquisition field have come out in an effort to provide explanations as to how language learning takes place, to figure out what variables are effective for second language acquisition as well as to offer guidance to mass second language learners and language teachers. Because behind every teaching approach exists certain kind of theory of language acquisition and good theory in turn can help students master language skills in an effective and efficient way.Each theory is considered to have contributed to the field by highlighting a specific aspect of the language acquisition process. Second language acquisition theories are intrinsically related with various disciplines such as applied linguistics, psychology, education, sociolinguistics, neurology, etc. Considering the impossibility to elaborate all second language theories, I will focus on sociocultural theory and bottleneck hypothesis in second language acquisition. There is an overview which follows the introduction to the Sociocultural Theory and Bottleneck Hypothesis and its contribution to second language acquisition respectively, and then I will evaluate them to see their contributions to the SLA disciplinary development.

Authors: Padliyyah Siti Hannah
Published: November 2020

Indonesia is ranked 56th out of 65 participating countries in the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) based on data 2015. According to PISA results, the average science score of Indonesian students is 403, where this number is categorized as low. This is because students are still in the process of understanding and have not yet fully recognized the location of their mistakes. Students can diagnose the location of their mistakes through self-diagnosis activities. Self-diagnosis activities require the active role of students during the learning process. One approach that can increase the active role of students is STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics). However, research at this time is still rarely found self-diagnosis activities that are applied to the STEM approach. Therefore, this research has the aim to find out the increase in mastery of physical concepts and self-diagnosis of students on the STEM learning approach to the theory of poscal law class XI High School.This study uses a One-Group pretest-posttest design with a sample of 30 ini 11th grade highschool from one schools in Bandung. . Based on the findings, there is an increase in mastery of concepts [ = 0.51] from pre-test to post-test. In self-diagnosis activities identified that there are differences in scores [z = 1.75; p = 0.9599] student assessment results of researchers and self-scoring results. Deeper self-diagnosis triggers a series of implicit steps that encourage them to rearrange their cognition by correcting the mistakes they make when solving problems. So that learning activities using the STEM approach that involves self-diagnosis activities can improve students' mastery of concepts.
