Normative data were collected on 197 disadvantaged high school dropouts on the dimension of internal-external control. Findings indicate that this group appears to be external but not markedly so, and a short-term intervention program designed to improve academic and vocational skills did not appear to affect locus of control of 33 subjects.

The present study investigated to what degree teachers’ personality traits, cognitive abilities, and academic abilities (high school GPA), which were assessed at the end of high school as well as grades from the first and second state examinations of teacher education, predict later instructional quality. The study combined ratings of instructional quality from 3,768 German secondary school students and their 113 teachers with up to 10 years between assessment of teachers’ personality traits, cognitive abilities, as well as academic abilities at the end of high school and student ratings of instructional quality. Multilevel regression analyses revealed that agreeableness, high school GPA, and the second state examination grade predicted teachers’ instructional quality.

84 male and 76 female high school students were individually examined on two tests which involve right-left discrimination. The Hand Test requires distinguishing drawings of right from left hands. The Route Test involves walking out patterns with various turns according to diagrams drawn on cards. Results on both tests showed a wide range of performance, but differences between the sexes were minute and statistically nonsignificant. In addition to right-left discrimination, each test also taps different additional spatial functions. Both tests are easy to administer in clinical settings; normative data given here can be useful in evaluating patients' performance.

SMA Negeri 108 Jakarta merupakan salah satu sekolah menengah atas yang berada didaerah Jakarta selatan, di SMA Negeri 108 Jakarta biasanya dilakukan Pemilihan jurusan pada semester ganjil oleh siswa kelas X. Di sekolah ini terbagi dua jurusan yaitu jurusan IPA dan IPS. Pelaksanaan pemilihan jurusan bagi mereka diperkenalkan sebagai upaya untuk mengarahkan siswa terhadap bakat dan minat serta kemampuan akademik siswa tersebut. Tujuan pemilihan jurusan ini agar siswa lebih mudah dalam menentukan jurusan sesuai keinginannya. Penentuan pemilihan jurusan memang terbukti sangat sulit bagi siswa atau orang tua siswa pada era sekarang. Metode yang digunakan dalam pengambilan keputusan pemilihan jurusan pada penelitian ini menggunakan metode SAW dan MOORA dengan mengomparasi penerapan dan hasil dari perhitungan kedua metode tersebut sehingga menghasilkan keputusan yang konsisten dan terbaik. Hasil dari perhitungan kedua metode menjadikan Anggini Sarah sebagai nilai terbesar dengan nilai perhitungan SAW yaitu 24,600 dan hasil perhitungan metode MOORA yaitu 10,451 menjadi jurusan yang terpilih yaitu IPA.   Kata kunci: Komparasi, SAW, MOORA, Pemilihan Jurusan   Abstract  - SMAN 108 Jakarta is one of the high schools in the south Jakarta area, in the 108 Jakarta High School, the selection of majors is usually done in odd semester by class X students. The school is divided into two majors namely science and social majors. The selection of majors for them was introduced as an effort to direct students towards their students' talents and interests and academic abilities. The purpose of this department selection is for students to more easily determine the department according to their wishes. Determination of the selection of majors indeed proved very difficult for students or parents of students in the current era. The method used in decision making in the selection of majors in this study uses the SAW and MOORA methods by comparing the implementation and results of the calculation of the two methods so as to produce the best and most consistent decisions. The results of the calculation of the two methods make Anggini Sarah the largest value with the SAW calculation value of 24,600 and the MOORA method calculation result of 10.451 being the chosen major, IPA.   Keywords: Comparison, SAW, MOORA, Selection of Departments

Two University of Alberta samples and two high school samples were administered two measures of flexibility (Associations IV and Object Naming). Two measures of anxiety and convergent thinking data were obtained for three of the samples. The Alberta samples tended to score lower on Associations IV than an Illinois sample. Split-half reliability of the Associations IV task yielded Spearman-Brown correlations ranging from .60 to .75. The Alberta sample tended to score higher on the Object Naming task by comparison with the Illinois sample. The split-half reliability of Object Naming, however, indicates a questionable relationship between parts (Spearman-Brown Formula rs range from .15 to .57). Anxiety tended to facilitate performance among older Ss and hinder performance among the younger Ss. The two flexibility measures correlated more strongly with measures of convergent thinking than with each other.
