As a private college-oriented quality, Widyatama University has some quality commitments including receiving potential prospective students and giving priority to customer satisfaction. However, the university only uses entrance exam score, does not use previous academic performance such as national exam score to select potential prospective students. The aims of this research were to examine and to evaluate the factors which affect students’ First Year Cumulative GPA (FYCGPA) in Widyatama University. This research also investigated the determinants of students’ FYCGPA by the factors to explain variances in FYCGPA. This research used gender, major in high school, national exam score and entrance exam score as independent variables. Stepwise multiple regression analysis was carried out in this study. The result indicated that gender, entrance exam score, and major in high school have significant effect to FYCGPA. The model used in this study showed that 24.6% of the variances in FYCGPA can be explained by gender, entrance exam score, and major in high school. This results show that Widyatama University should consider more factors in selecting potential prospective students and providing services to first year students.

Information that is different from scientific knowledge, consistent and resistant to change, can be expressed as misconceptions. Misconceptions are one of the critical factors that prevent students from understanding in Biology education. This study was conducted in Kosovo with high school 12th-grade students of three different ethnic origins. It is aimed to determine the misconceptions that students have about “Digestive System in Human” comparatively. The study was carried out with 150 12th grade students in Kosovo in the 2016/2017 academic year. The research was carried out with qualitative research techniques as a data collection tool consisting of student drawings and explanations, and true/false items used. A descriptive analysis made. The findings showed that the students had many misconceptions about the human digestive system. Some Turkish students have drawn the digestive system with the kidney and intestine compared to other ethnic groups. Albanian and Bosnian students generally draw the digestive system after the stomach for separate solids for liquids. This misconception may be related to the concept of image (prima de perception) (Bachelard, 1938). Also, cultural misconceptions stemming from language encountered. Bosnian students use the concept of "boiling" instead of "digestion".

The purpose of this article is to explore the young generation’s geocultural consciousness. The research uses the case of Meteora Geomorphes, which have been proposed as a geological heritage site and are known to students for aesthetic, cultural and religious reasons. The sample of the research consisted of third grade Junior High school (Gymnasium) pupils, who have been taught Geography–Geology courses in previous classes, and students from departments of the University of Thessaly, Central Greece, wherein their subjects are taught cultural heritage courses. The data collection was conducted through a structured questionnaire that examines their knowledge, values, geoethical attitudes, behaviors and beliefs about geocultural heritage understanding. The result of the research shows the lack of understanding of the geological heritage in relation to cultural heritage and of the sense of responsibility for the environment and a code of ethics for protection and conservation. The need for strategic educational planning of geoeducation in school practice with the integration of geoheritage in the theme of environmental education (geoenvironmental education) is obvious.

The objective of this study is to examine the test anxiety levels of the high school students in terms of various variables. The study was conducted in a screening model from descriptive research methods. The data is collected from 734 students, who are in the 11th grade of five different high schools in 2016-2017 education year in İstanbul province. The research data was collected by the "Test Anxiety Inventory" developed by Spielberg and adapted by Öner and "Personal Information Form" developed by the researchers. Initially, data was tested whether the assumptions are met or not during the analysis. Then, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), independent t-test, and Mann-Whitney U test were used to analyze the anxiety levels of the students according to various variables. Results shows that there were statistically significant differences in the test anxieties of the students according to the sex; the female students were more worried in both the affective and delusional sub-dimensions of the inventory than the male students. It was also found that students who are satisfied with their classes or schools have lower levels of anxiety than others. In addition, students who felt self-anxious about the university entrance exam had higher anxiety levels compared to other students, and students, who believed that they would be successful had lower level of anxiety than others.  Lastly, according to results, number of siblings, siblings, private tutoring, and having a separate room to study did not affect the test anxiety level of students.Extended English abstract is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı, lise öğrencilerinin sınav kaygı düzeylerini etkileyen değişkenleri incelemektir. Çalışma, betimsel araştırma yöntemlerinden tarama modelinde yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, İstanbul ilinde 2016-2017 eğitim-öğretim yılında 5 lisenin 11. sınıfına devam eden toplam 734 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma verileri Spielberg tarafından geliştirilen ve uyarlama çalışması Öner tarafından yapılan “Sınav Kaygısı Envanteri” ve araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizi aşamasında öncelikle varsayımların karşılanıp karşılanmadığı test edilmiştir. Ardından öğrencilerin sınav kaygı düzeylerinin çeşitli değişkenlere göre anlamlı bir farklılık gösterip göstermediği tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA), bağımsız gruplar t-testi ve Mann-Whitney U testi ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda öğrencilerin sınav kaygılarında cinsiyete göre anlamlı farklılıklar bulunmuş, kız öğrencilerin erkek öğrencilere göre envanterin hem duyuşsal hem de kuruntu alt boyutunda daha kaygılı oldukları tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre sınıflarından veya okullarından memnun olan öğrencilerin kaygı düzeyleri diğerlerine göre daha düşük çıkmıştır. Bunun yanında geçmişte sınav kaygısı hissettiğini belirtenlerle, üniversite giriş sınavına ilişkin kendini kaygılı hissedenlerin sınav kaygı düzeyleri diğer öğrencilerden daha yüksek çıkarken, başarılı olacakları konusunda kendine inanan öğrencilerin kaygı puanlarının ise daha düşük olduğu bulunmuştur. Ayrıca kardeş sayısı, kardeş sırası, özel ders alma durumu ve ders çalışmak için ayrı odaya sahip olma durumunun sınav kaygısına etkisinin olmadığı tespit edilmiştir.

Several studies show no difference in practice and academics in general between Islamic banks and conventional banks. However, they are both very different. This research analysed the perceptions of santri/students of Islamic boarding schools regarding no differences between Islamic banks and conventional banks. This research was quantitative with an in-depth descriptive analysis. The research sample used a blend of purposive and judgment techniques applied to santri from several large Islamic boarding schools in Banyuwangi. The analytical method used a two-way causative relationship using multiple regression. The research used a structured questionnaire with a Likert scale and in-depth interviews with santri. Santri's view of Islamic banks differed from that of regular banks. Santri strongly believes in Islamic banking, while the majority is not traditional but represents Islamic ideals. Islamic bank workers, nevertheless, have shown Islam's greater identity than standard banks and imply that no disparities in Islamic banks are shown to be stigmatic.

Internet-based technologies are now a common resource used by young students worldwide. Despite the numerous reports regarding the possible negative effects of such tools on the individual behavior and health, schools and professors are now faced with the opportunity of applying novel strategies to improve alumni assessment throughout high school and college courses. Here, an online form-based tool was applied to evaluate student learning throughout a high school biology course (18 weeks). Parameters such as date and hour of delivery, average score and frequency of completion were automatically obtained and then analyzed to draw a perspective on student behavior towards online assessment tools. Results indicate that students are most likely (~ 65% of assignment completions) to finish their homework in the two days prior to the deadline. Also, these tools seem not to correlate with late hour smartphone/computer use, as indicated by the submission hours (2-10 p.m.). Finally, a small positive correlation (R2 = 0.2620) was observed between completion frequency and average homework score. These results suggest the possibility of using online tools to improve student engagement in high school courses. Future studies would benefit from exploring the correlation between participation frequency and student test scores.
