ABSTRACT Background Many high school students do not consume the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables. Objective This study evaluated student outcomes from a new nutrition curriculum that includes messages from the 2015–2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans with a teacher training component for high school Family and Consumer Sciences (FACS) teachers. Methods A cluster-randomized controlled study was conducted with 1104 students in FACS classes from 35 schools, taught by teachers trained in implementing a new curriculum (intervention) and teachers using their usual curricula (control). Students completed online surveys at the beginning and end of the semester, that is, pre- and postexposure to the nutrition curricula. Intention-to-treat analyses as hierarchical linear modeling were performed to determine if the intervention students had significant changes compared with the control students for knowledge of nutrition concepts, familiarity of, preferences for, affinity toward, number of times trying new, and daily times eating fruits and vegetables. Per-protocol analyses used the same hierarchical linear model but instead of control and intervention groups, students were split into 3 levels describing the amount of the new curriculum they received (0%, 1–50%, and 51–100%). Results Students exposed to 51–100% of the new curriculum tried more fruits and vegetables than both the control students and the students that received 1–50% of the curriculum (P = 0.009 for fruits and P = 0.002 for vegetables). Additionally, there were higher increases in the number of times intervention students tried a new fruit (P = 0.027) and vegetable (P = 0.022) compared with the control students, regardless of the amount of curriculum received. Conclusions Our findings show that the curriculum, Forecasting Your Future: Nutrition Matters, has promise for increasing exposure to new fruits and vegetables for students. If teachers use most of the curriculum, students are likely to try more new fruit and vegetables, which could ultimately contribute to improved health.

The use of plastic is widely known in everyday life, with a variety of advantages (light but strong, transparent, waterproof, low price). But besides having advantages, conventional plastics also have disadvantages, namely that they are difficult to decompose and pollute the environment when they burn. The need to reduce the use of conventional plastics and replace them with the use of bioplastics in the community is still often socialized, one of which is to students at SMA Nasional Malang. The aim of training and socializing environmentally friendly bioplastics is so that students can reduce the use of conventional plastics and switch to using environmentally friendly products, as well as being able to make bioplastic products. The result of the bioplastic making training is that students are able to make eating and drinking utensils made from bioplastics with various models they like. Through socialization, students began to change their lifestyle by reducing the use of conventional plastics and switching to using environmentally friendly products. To better understand the dangers of conventional plastics to the environment, students compared the biodegradability of conventional plastics and bioplastics. The result is that bioplastics break down faster than conventional plastics. Knowledge of bioplastics and their raw materials is new to them. From the questionnaire, it was found that Malang National Senior High School students were very interested in the training provided, some wanted to make various bioplastic product creations independently and hoped that there would be other training to help students develop their knowledge and creativity.

Shame and guilt are terms easily mixed in everyday life and often used as synonyms. Although they are words of similar use, they represent theoretically different moral emotions. The aims of this study were to develop and validate instruments to assess shame and guilt and to test the empirical independence of the constructs. Five hundred and eighty high school students from three Brazilian states participated in this study, 55% of them female, with an average age of 16.0 years. The participants answered a questionnaire containing socio demographic questions and scales designed for this study in order to assess shame and guilt. The scales developed gave appropriate evidence of validity and reliability. A single factor was extracted to assess shame and two factors to assess guilt (recognition of mistake and regret). The constructs revealed to be correlated, but independent. It is considered that there is sufficient evidence to affirm that shame and guilt are emotions with distinctive peculiarities and can be measured using the instruments developed in this research.

Although social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter are widely used by teenagers, to date, research has focused on their social uses. This research sought to investigate the ways in which high school students (15–19 years) use such sites in order to find information. It highlights the importance of considering how young people may use social networking sites for everyday life information as well as for academic and school-oriented information. Findings from a web-based survey of students from the UK, France, Thailand and Denmark show that social networking sites are information sources for most teenagers, especially for information related to social activities. Although academic information seeking was not among the most common reasons for using them, the findings indicate that they are used by many students for such purposes, as well as for everyday life information seeking.

Can you imagine the motivational value of a young adult being exposed to images of common day objects that they have an interest in, magnified ten, one hundred, or one thousand times? Then imagine the student learning the theory and operation of a scanning electron microscope. Finally, imagine walking into a laboratory to see these same students operating an SEM and taking their own micrographs.For the past three years I have had the pleasure of teaching the laboratory portion of the SEMEDS program. The program's goal is not just to motivate high school students in science, but to expose them to the wonders of microscopy and how it affects their everyday life.The program currently has three phases. During phase one, teachers from local high schools are contracted about the program. The teachers volunteer at the beginning of the school year then become students themselves during a four hour class.

This research aims to describe the mathematical connection in problem solving. Metode of qualitative research. The subject of this study were two ninth graders of junior high school in with a purposive technique. The research instrument was a mathematical connection test problem. The data analysis technique uses three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that students complate aspects of mathematical connections, namely: Aspects of mathematical connections in mathematical problems such as: Students understand the relationship between existing mathematical topics by writing down the equation model as ideas of the problems. Students are able to find the relationship between existing procedures and other procedures in representation with the equivalent concept shown by writing the two-variable linear system material equation. Students apply the relationship between mathematics, and between mathematical material with mathematical material by finding the value of equations. Students are able to use mathematical connections with mathematics or other fields of science using mathematics with economics to determine the number of purchases with capital, and aspects of mathematical connections with everyday life, namely; Students use procedures and concepts from one another according to the question data. The ability of students to use mathematics in everyday life in the context of buying and selling using capital, amount, profit. So, as a whole the mathematical connection ability of junior high school students complate the indicators and into the high connection category. Keywords: mathematical connection, two-variable linear system material, connection aspects.
