This article is focused on mapping out the form and extent of education of genetics and molecular biology in high schools in Czech Republic and impact of liberalization of education compared to education in Slovac Republic, where education is partly liberalized, and Ukraine, where education is centralized. We have evaluated the available literature, subjective satisfaction of students and retrospective evaluation from absolvents of adequacy of education according to further studies on universities or colleges. In this article we concentrated on gymnasiums and lyceums, because genetics and molecular biology is taught (as separate disciplines) in these types of school and relevant part of students continue studying them in colleges and universities. Among the students of universities who answered the questions of our questionnaire were students of the biological, biochemical and medical faculties, because they were the ones who continue to study these subjects in universities. Material and methods. Our research was based on studying the available literature concerning current legislation of the selected countries (mainly the difference between education systems of countries), as well as surveys among middle and high school students, university students and secondary school teachers in the form of a questionnaire. We are aware of the fact that the amount of data we have obtained in the research is not entirely sufficient to create a picture of the overall situation, but we hope that the obtained data will still provide some insight into the situation as a whole. According to collected data we have divided taught topics into several categories: depending on the extent and depth of immersion in the topic of teaching; the degree to which they are understandable to students; and the degree to which the topics are sufficient for further study at universities. We compared the results of the above countries and outlined the relationship between them. Conclusion. We noted several changes that had occurred in education under the influence of the liberalization

The Relationship

The central dogma of molecular biology is key to understanding the relationship between genotype and phenotype, although it remains a challenging concept to teach and learn. We describe an activity sequence that engages high school students directly in modeling the major processes of protein synthesis using the major components of translation. Students use a simple system of codes to generate paper chains, allowing them to learn why codons are three nucleotides in length, the purpose of start and stop codons, the importance of the promoter region, and how to use the genetic code. Furthermore, students actively derive solutions to the problems that cells face during translation, make connections between genotype and phenotype, and begin to recognize the results of mutations. This introductory activity can be used as an interactive means to support students as they learn the details of translation and molecular genetics.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between spiritual leadership and workplace well-being of secondary school teachers. The study is quantitative in nature and a correlation research design has been used. The secondary school teachers of Lahore are mainly targeted population and stratified sampling technique is used to draw sample of the study. The sample consists of 150 secondary school teachers (75 male and 75 females). Two close ended questionnaires on five-point likert type scale were adapted for this study. The reliability of the instruments has been approx. 0.931 and 0.94 respectively. Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient has been used to investigate the relationship between spiritual leadership and workplace well-being. Inferential statistics are used to explore the difference among secondary school teachers’ perception on the basis of their demographic information. Findings of the study reveal that spiritual leadership is strongly correlated with teachers’ well-being in secondary schools. There is a weak positive relationship among spiritual leadership, teachers’ relatedness and teachers’ competence needs. It is recommended that the head teachers should adopt spiritual style to run the school effectively because under this leadership, a healthy environment in schools might be developed and teachers may perform their duties better.

Abstrak — Penalaran aljabar merupakan proses berpikir logis untuk mencari dan mengenali pola dari suatu situasi tertentu kemudian membuat kesimpulan berupa generalisasi atas ide-ide matematika terkait situasi tersebut. Penelitian kualitatif ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan penalaran aljabar siswa SMP dalam menyelesaikan soal pola bilangan. Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah dua siswa kelas VIII dengan kriteria mampu menyelesaikan soal tes penalaran aljabar dan memiliki variasi jawaban yang berbeda. Kedua subjek memiliki karakteristik yaitu subjek pertama menyelesaikan soal dengan satu ide untuk menemukan aturan umum pola bilangan sedangkan subjek kedua menemukan gagasan baru untuk menemukan aturan umum pola bilangan.Teknik pengumpulan data pada penelitian ini yaitu menggunakan tes penalaran aljabar dan wawancara. Data yang terkumpul dianalisis berdasarkan indikator penalaran aljabar meliputi mencari pola, mengenali pola, dan generalisasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan siswa pada mencari pola diawali dengan mengidentifikasi unsur penyusun pola bilangan kemudian siswa menemukan hubungan tiap unsur pada pola bilangan. Pada tahap mengenali pola, siswa menyadari hubungan antar suku-suku ganjil dan suku-suku genap pada pola bilangan, kemudian melakukan percobaan-percobaan untuk menemukan rumus umum pola bilangan agar memudahkan mencari nilai tiap suku. Siswa menggunakan tabel dan melakukan pendataan tiap suku pada pola bilangan untuk menemukan rumus umum pola bilangan. Ada perbedaan cara untuk menemukan rumus umum, yaitu ada siswa yang menggunakan selisih antar suku, sedangkan siswa yang lain menggunakan selisih antara suku ganjil dengan ganjil dan suku genap dengan genap. Pada langkah akhir penalaran aljabar yaitu generalisasi siswa menarik kesimpulan dari proses yang dilakukannya di tahap sebelumnya.Kata Kunci: penalaran, penalaran aljabar, pola bilangan. Abstract — Algebraic reasoning is a process of logical thinking to search and recognize patterns of a particular situation and then make conclusions in the form of generalizations of mathematical ideas related to the situation. This qualitative research aims to describe the algebraic reasoning of junior high school students in solving numerical pattern problems. The subjects in this study were two eighth grade students with the criteria of being able to solve algebraic reasoning test questions and having different variations of answers. Both subjects have the characteristics of the first subject solving the problem with one idea to find general rules of number patterns while the second subject finds new ideas to find general rules of number patterns. Data collection techniques in this study are using algebraic reasoning tests and interviews. The collected data is analyzed based on algebraic reasoning indicators including finding patterns, recognizing patterns, and generalizing. The results showed students in looking for patterns beginning with identifying the constituent elements of number patterns then students find the relationship of each element in number patterns. In the stage of recognizing patterns, students realize the relationship between odd terms and even terms in number patterns, then conduct experiments to find general formulas for number patterns to make it easier to find the value of each term. Students use tables and collect data on each term in a number pattern to find a general formula for a number pattern. There are different ways to find a general formula, namely, there are students who use differences between tribes, while other students use the difference between odd and even terms and even terms with even numbers. In the final step of algebraic reasoning, the generalization of students draws conclusions from the processes they did in the previous stage.Keywords: reasoning, algebraic reasoning, number patterns

Science And Education

This paper reports on the results of a workshop in Haiti and Puerto Rico to capture what priorities may be important to build sustainability sciences and education. In 2015, approximately 35 individuals attended all or part of the workshop at each location. Participants included academic leaders, university faculty, secondary school teachers, representatives of non-profit organizations, and university and high school students. Haitian participants called attention to the need for reforestation training, systemic solutions for waste management, and sustainable marine resources management. In Puerto Rico, participants called for more training to link civic engagement with sustainable development, social determinants of health, and programming on tsunami preparation and recovery. Members of both workshops asked for sustainability science and education advances in renewable and alternative energy development, general disaster and climate change impact preparedness (e.g. drought), and sustainable agriculture. Haitian and Puerto Rican participants also shared the view that engaging sustainability requires higher educational institutions to partner with communities, primary and secondary school teachers, policy-makers, and especially young persons, to reinforce the values of sustainability, and collectively work across sectors to learn through trial and error together.
