Type: Journal Articles
Subjects: Vocational Education,Academic Persistence,Intention,Foreign Countries,Learning Strategies,Student Participation,Learner Engagement,Teacher Student Relationship,Self Determination,Vocational Schools,Students

This study explored variables that influence students' intention to persist in vocational education. The variables considered included self-regulation strategies, school participation, self-determination, school identification and teacher autonomy. These variables have been previously studied in other contexts but not in vocational education. Data collection involved self-report surveys with 277 vocational learners (age 15) from three vocational schools in Bangkok, Thailand. Pearson's correlation was used to test possible relationship among variables. Regression analysis identified the variables that were significant. School participation, self-determination and school identification were the three variables identified that influenced intention to persist. Self-regulation strategies, promotion of task-related discussion and teacher autonomy support did not have a significant influence on the intention to persist in school.

This research aimed to describe the levels of feeling of rightness (FOR) of students. This research used a qualitative method with an explorative type. The subjects of this research were 3 students of 5th grade selected from 77 other students in Indonesia. In uncovering FOR subject of this research, instruments were used in the form of problems about the open-ended polygon perimeter and interview guidelines. The data of this research were the subjects' answers to the problems of polygon perimeter and the results of interviews with subjects related to these answers. The data were analyzed using the FOR subject level indicator rubric. There were three levels of FOR which were the findings in this research, namely low, medium, and high. Low FOR level was indicated by the answers crossed out and the objectives or goal changed. Medium FOR level was indicated by crossed out answers, objectives or goals changed, problems text read repeatedly, indecisive statements about the truth of the answers that have been generated, and doubts in determining the steps to be taken. High FOR level was indicated by answers that were not crossed and goals that were not changed.

The article aims at determining the specifics of legal consciousness of Russian youth, as well as to determining the ways and possibilities of developing mechanisms for its development. For this purpose, two surveys were conducted: first -- among 30 experts in the field of human rights and freedoms and second -- among 800 respondents aged from 14 to 25 years from 15 regions of the Russian Federation. Characteristic features of legal consciousness of modern students as a subjective factor of reflection and construction of social and legal reality are allocated and described. The levels of formation of the rights consciousness of University students were revealed; the specificity of the legal consciousness of young people depending on the spheres of life (household, business, civil) was revealed; the mechanisms for the correction of legal consciousness in terms of higher education are presented. The results showed that the majority of respondents have an adequate understanding of human rights and freedoms, but a significant proportion of respondents do not have a solid legal knowledge and even refer to the Constitution such rights and freedoms that are not only not provided for in it, but are contrary to the norms of a democratic state.

Adult basic education's role, from the beginning, has been about serving people with foundational skill needs. The author, Judy Mortrude, agrees with the argument that adult literacy education needs to be repositioned within a new framework of lifelong and life-wide learning, a framework in which new policies are formulated, programs are designed and evaluated, and research is funded and carried out. She also thinks it is helpful to examine the role of federal adult education funding inside the lifelong and life-wide educational framework as both a way to value federally funded adult education programs and services and a way to imagine the &quot;other&quot; funds, programs, and services needed to provide for skills needs across the length and breadth of life.

Using statistical software only or Excel only was not effective to increase the learning achievements of undergraduates. The research aimed to describe the effect of using Minitab and Excel with teaching teams toward the undergraduates' achievements of Advanced Statistics course. The research design was an experimental study. The research was conducted in nine stages. The participants were all mathematics education undergraduates from one of the state universities of Palangka Raya in three academic years, i.e. from 2015/2016 to 2017/2018. The instruments were lecture plans, midterm and final tests, and textbook of Advanced Statistics. The conclusion was drawn using covariance analysis and t-test of normalized gain. The research result showed that implementation learning of Advanced Statistics integrated Minitab and Excel with teaching teams increase the undergraduates' achievements in which the normalized gain was more than 0.3 (moderate increasing). In addition, the increase was also indicated by the average differences of the final and the initial scores at the first, the second, and the third years were 7.0, 12.5, and 19.4 respectively. The increase consistently occurred for the three academic years with a confidence level of 95%. The lecture plans could be used as an alternative way to teach Statistics courses.

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of critical thinking aspects on the module to enhance students' academic achievement of human circulatory system. Research participants were 8th grade of junior high school students, which assigned into experimental and control groups (each group consists of 27 students) based on One-Way ANOVA result (0.255; p-value &gt; 0.05). This quasi-experimental study applied a pre-test and post-test non-equivalent control group design. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to analyse pre-test and post-test data, with pre-test as a covariate. Analysis result showed that: (1) students' academic achievement in the experimental group is significantly different with the control group (F=90.562; p-value &lt; 0.05); (2) students' academic achievement gap in the experimental group is lower than the control group; and (3) applying critical thinking aspects on the module have an effective contribution of 64% in students' academic achievement enhancement of the experimental group. Therefore, the use of critical thinking aspects on the module has a good impact on students' academic achievement.

This study examined the use of first language in English reading lessons and the perceptions of teachers and students towards it in three Hong Kong Chinese-medium secondary schools. The data comprised three teachers and sixty-three Form 2 students' participation and responses in (i) 3 classroom observations about how L1 was used in actual teaching and learning settings, (ii) survey forms gathering the frequency of participants using L1 teaching and learning strategies (based on the three teachers and nineteen selected students from the pool), and (iii) subsequent in-depth interviews concerning their perceptions about using L1 in English reading lessons. The findings revealed that (i) the use of L1 bottom-up language focused teaching strategies and condition-oriented teaching and learning strategies were effective for teaching and learning in English reading lessons and (ii) there was a negative relationship between students' proficiency in English and the use of L1. The study concluded that the use of first language in English reading lessons brought positive effects on the second language learning in English reading, especially when students' English proficiency and teaching contexts were taken into consideration.
