High School Teaching

Those who believe that the importance of subject-matter training in mathematics and related fields as a part of the equipment of a teacher should read a recent report of the American Chemical Society's Committee on high school teaching of chemistry which was adopted unanimously at a recent meeting of the Council of the Society in Kansas City, Mo. The report charges that “the high school students now entering our universities and who have entered within the last ten years are much inferior in preparation in mathematics and other fundamental and basic courses to similar students of a generation ago, and the situation is tending, if possible, toward a worse condition.”

Teaching Modules

The ““new biology”” of the 21st century is increasingly dependent on mathematics, and preparing high school students to have both strong science and math skills has created major challenges for both disciplines. Researchers and educators in biology and mathematics have been working long hours on a project to create high school teaching modules suitable for both biology and mathematics classrooms, as well as classes held jointly, to help supply teachers with materials that can be used in classrooms attempting to overcome the disciplinary boundaries that often separate them. Biology topics such as evolution, ecology, bioinformatics, and epidemiology are interwoven with a variety of mathematical topics, including algebraic equations, multiplying matrices, algorithms, dynamic programming, probability, and graphing. These modules will be free to educators for a few years. We give an overview of the modules and describe how to obtain them.

Mathematics And Physics

Materialist dialectics holds that the material world is generally connected, and the realization of the calculation, verification and other goals involved in physics requires the use of mathematical knowledge as the research tool and language, and the use of mathematical methods and mathematical ideas for reasoning and analysis, which shows that there is a close relationship between mathematics and Physics. Analyzing the influence of mathematics on physics from the perspective of data is helpful for teachers to improve the teaching process of physics, promote students' ability of mathematics application and physics learning, and improve the quality of high school teaching. In this paper, through statistical analysis and questionnaire research. The scores of mathematics and physics in a school were collected and analyzed by SPSS22.0 software. It is found that mathematics achievement has a significant influence on physics achievement. Then through the questionnaire survey of whether mathematics has an impact on physics, we get a positive answer from the perspective of students. The final conclusions are as follows: (1) there is a positive correlation between mathematics achievement and physics achievement; (2) more than half of the students can use mathematical methods to solve problems when learning physics; (3) most students hope that teachers can teach them how to use mathematical methods in physics learning. Through these conclusions, we can know that mathematics achievement has a very important impact on physics achievement. It reminds us that we should pay attention to students' mathematics education.

Variance and standard deviation, as a kind of discrete function, are an important content in high school teaching, and they are widely used in data statistics. For high school students, they have difficulty understanding abstract concepts such as stability, volatility, and degree of dispersion when they are first exposed to discrete functions. In actual teaching, you can apply “bullseye chart” to “variance” teaching, and use abstract concept diagrams. Demonstration helps high school students to intuitively understand the concept of “variance” and the nature of dispersion.

A modification of the Paired-Stimuli Parent Program (Florance, 1977) was adapted for the treatment of articulatory errors of visually handicapped children. Blind high school students served as clinical aides. A discussion of treatment methodology, and the results of administrating the program to 32 children, including a two-year follow-up evaluation to measure permanence of behavior change, is presented.

Summary: This article describes a triarchic analysis of an aptitude-treatment interaction in a college-level introductory-psychology course given to selected high-school students. Of the 326 total participants, 199 were selected to be high in analytical, creative, or practical abilities, or in all three abilities, or in none of the three abilities. The selected students were placed in a course that either well matched or did not match their pattern of analytical, creative, and practical abilities. All students were assessed for memory, analytical, creative, and practical achievement. The data showed an aptitude-treatment interaction between students' varied ability patterns and the match or mismatch of these abilities to the different instructional groups.

Identity Exploration

This study examined how social opportunity structure influences identity exploration and commitment of Albanian high school students. A total of 258 students completed a questionnaire that gauged their identity exploration and commitment in three domains: education, occupation, and family. ANOVA results indicated that, overall, students scored highest in exploration in the domain of education and in commitment in the domain of family. Students' exploration and commitment were linked to gender. Albanian female students scored higher than male students in exploration and commitment regarding education and family. Perceived work opportunities in Albania or abroad also significantly moderated participants' exploration in the domain of education and were associated with commitment in education and occupation. As one of the first studies to explore Albanian youth's identity development in relation to social opportunity structure, findings are discussed in light of furthering the field of Albanian adolescent and youth development.

Abstract. This study investigated the effects of politicians’ nonparticipatory and participatory Facebook posts on young people’s political efficacy – a key determinant of political participation. We employed an experimental design, using a sample of N = 125 high school students (15–20 years). Participants either saw a Facebook profile with no posts (control condition), nonparticipatory posts, or participatory posts. While nonparticipatory posts did not affect participants’ political efficacy, participatory posts exerted distinct effects. For those high in trait evaluations of the politician presented in the stimulus material or low in political cynicism, we found significant positive effects on external and collective efficacy. By contrast, for those low in trait evaluations or high in cynicism, we found significant negative effects on external and collective efficacy. We did not find any effects on internal efficacy. The importance of content-specific factors and individual predispositions in assessing the influence of social media use on participation is discussed.
