The article presents the results of an empirical study of social representations about school and learning among the main participants of the modern school educational process: students themselves, their teachers and parents.The study, conducted in the 2018/2019 academic year, involved 480 teenagers, pupils of 5—11 classes of several Moscow secondary schools, 145 of their parents (mostly mothers) and 147 teachers (of which also the majority are women).To identify social representations, respondents were asked to write five consecutive associations for the following words: "school" (for teenagers), "school of my childhood" and "modern school" (for teachers and parents), "learning" and "Unified state exam (USE)" (for all groups of participants).In the logic of the theory of "core and periphery" obtained for each of the groups of participants of the study associations were subjected to prototypical analysis (according to P.Verges).We tested the hypothesis on the difference in social representations about school and learning in different groups of participants of the educational process.Social representations were indeed different in the studied groups when it came to school and learning, but they turned out to be quite close when the associations to the word "Unified state exam (USE)" were analyzed: apart from the frequently occurring ascertaining (and in this sense emotionally neutral) association "test", the rest had a negative emotional, evaluative connotation.

AbstractAimThe aim of the present study was to determine the impact of food advertising in primary and secondary schools on the food purchasing habits of children.MethodsAll forty-four primary and secondary schools in Rzeszow, Poland were included in the investigation; 15 000 children attend primary and secondary schools in the region. Schools were visited by members of the research team, who filled in a questionnaire regarding the type of food products displayed or advertised in the school shop window and recorded the presence of direct corporate advertising in the proximity of the school shop. Shop owners were asked to fill in a form describing food purchases by students within the week preceding the visit. The school principal (or one of teachers) completed a form describing the school’s policy regarding food advertising and the sponsorship of school activities by food companies.ResultsRecommended foods like milk, yoghurts and fruit were offered by only 40·9 % of shops. There was a correlation between foods offered in the shop and foods purchased by students. In schools, 40·9 % (95 % CI 25·8, 56·0 %) of shop windows displayed or advertised ‘healthy’ foods while 9·1 % (95 % CI 0·0, 17·9 %) of shops displayed advertisements of food companies. The difference between display of ‘healthy’ food in shop windows and display of food on company advertisements was significant (likelihood ratio χ2 test, P < 0·04). Type of school (primary v. secondary) was not significant factor in advertising or purchasing pattern.ConclusionsEducational programmes should be introduced in schools with the aim of improving the understanding of nutritional principles among pupils, teachers and parents.

This article deals with the implementation by teachers of secondary schools of the culture-creating and pedagogical potential of natural science museums with the help of the author's program. At the moment, there is a situation where society needs a holistic and informative potential of the museum. Modern education in the educational process is increasingly based on a number of museum disciplines. The museum, being a socio-cultural institution, directly influences the solution of crisis situations of civilization in the XXI century. It should be noted that the pedagogical position put forward by the authors on the potential of natural science museums, reflected in this article, is relevant not only for our country, but also for the whole world affected by globalization. The authors of the article, based on the findings of the study, compiled an author's program for teachers of secondary schools, in which they tried to reveal the main points on the implementation of the culture-creating and pedagogical potential of natural science museums.

We reveal the axiological aspect of the content of cadet education. An empirical study of value orientations content in military education students was conducted with the use of M. Rokeach Value survey. We analyzed the effectiveness of military education in terms of its influence on the formation of students’ values from the perspective of all the participants of the educational process: students (N = 75), teachers (N = 7), and parents (N = 22). The sample of students comprised cadets (N = 44) and students of secondary schools (N = 31) aged 15 to 17 years (25 girls). An expert survey (N = 7) was conducted, relating to the definition of values that are relevant to the content of military education. The results supported the hypothesis that the degree of values acquisition relevant to the content of military education, is higher in the cadets compared to the students of secondary schools. We discuss the causes of these differences. We conclude that teachers play the leading role in the development of the specific valuable orientations content in cadets. These findings can serve as a basis for the design and improvement of the content and forms of military education.

The purpose of this study is to determine the levels of elementary and secondary school administrators' attitudes towards disciplinary issues and to examine whether they vary by various variables (gender, age, educational level, faculty of graduation, branch, seniority, courses, seminars and status of receiving training). The study was prepared in accordance with the relational screening model, one of the general screening models. In the model of the study, the relationship between the variables was examined in accordance with the general and sub-purposes. The population of the study consisted of school administrators working at public elementary and secondary schools in Istanbul province. The sample of the study consisted of 103 administrators working in a total of 12 institutions including 7 public elementary schools and 5 secondary schools located in Gaziosmanpaşa district in the 2015-2016 academic year. The "Disciplinary Approaches of Administrators at School" Scale prepared by Özcan (2008a) was used as a data collection tool. As a result of the data analysis, administrators' attitudes towards disciplinary approaches were found to be at the medium level. There is a significant difference between the attitudes towards disciplinary approaches of administrators who graduated from the faculty of education and of administrators who graduated from other faculties other than the faculty of education. It is observed that administrators who graduated from other faculties have a more positive attitude towards disciplinary approaches compared to administrators who graduated from the faculty of education. The difference between the arithmetic means of school administrators' attitudes towards disciplinary issues according to gender, age, branch, educational level, occupational seniority, courses, seminars and status of receiving training was not found to be statistically significant.  ÖzetBu araştırmanın amacı ilkokul ve ortaokul yöneticilerinin disiplin sorunlarıyla ilgili tutumlarının ne düzeyde olduğu ve çeşitli değişkenlere (cinsiyet, yaş, eğitim düzeyi, mezun olunan fakülte, kıdem, kurs, seminer ve eğitim alıp almamalarına) göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını incelemektir. Araştırma, genel tarama modelinde nicel bir çalışmadır. Araştırmanın örneklemi 2015-2016 eğitim öğretim yılında Gaziosmanpaşa ilçesinde bulunan, 7 ilkokul ve 5 ortaokul olmak üzere toplam 12  kurumda  görev yapmakta olan 103 yöneticiden oluşmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak Özcan (2008a) tarafından hazırlanan “Yöneticilerin Okuldaki Disiplin Yaklaşımları” anketi kullanılmıştır.Veri analizi sonucunda, yöneticilerin disiplin yaklaşımlarına yönelik tutumlarının orta düzeyde olduğu bulunmuştur. Eğitim fakültesini bitiren yöneticiler ile eğitim fakültesi dışındaki diğer fakültelerden mezun olan yöneticilerin disiplin yaklaşımlarına yönelik tutumları arasında anlamlı bir farklılık görülmektedir. Diğer fakültelerden mezun olan yöneticilerin eğitim fakültelerinden mezun olan yöneticilere göre disiplin yaklaşımları konusunda daha olumlu bir tutuma sahip olduğu görülmektedir. Okul yöneticilerinin disiplin sorunlarıyla ilgili tutumlarının cinsiyet, yaş, branş, öğrenim durumu, mesleki kıdem, kurs, seminer ve eğitim alıp almama değişkenlerine göre aritmetik ortalamaları arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmamıştır.

Cognitive Achievement

An empirical study of distributions of examination scores within secondary schools in Karachi shows that intraschool inequalities are relatively large. The results of several analyses are consistent with the hypothesis that either schools in Karachi do not care about the equality of their students' cognitive achievement, or if they do care, current policies are ineffective at reducing or widening their distributions of scores.

Activity Energy

Energy needs of female team-sport athletes are poorly understood with no evidence highlighting differences present between scheduled activities. The purpose of this study was to examine the difference in energy expenditure between NCAA Division II female basketball (BBALL) and lacrosse (LAX) athletes during different scheduled team activities. Female BBALL (n = 13; 19.8 ± 1.3 yrs; 173.9 ± 13.6 cm; 74.6 ± 9.1kg; 27.1 ± 3.2%fat) and LAX (n = 20; 20.4 ± 1.8yrs; 168.4 ± 6.6cm; 68.8 ± 8.9kg; 27.9 ± 3.1%fat) athletes were outfitted with heart rate and activity monitors during four consecutive days on five different occasions (20 days total) across an entire academic year to assess differences in total daily activity energy expenditure (TDEE), activity energy expenditure (AEE), and physical activity level (PAL). Data were categorized by type of scheduled daily activities: Practice, Game, Conditioning, or Off. Independent of day type, TDEE, AEE, and PAL levels were greater (p < 0.05) in BBALL athletes. For each sport, TDEE, AEE, and PAL were significantly different (p < 0.05) between classified activity days. BBALL and LAX athletes experienced higher values on game days for TDEE, AEE, and PAL, with the lowest values experienced on off days. In conclusion, calculated levels of TDEE, AEE, and PAL in female collegiate BBALL and LAX athletes were determined to be different, irrespective of the scheduled activity.
