Beginning in 1957, Arizona State College at Flagstaff has sponsored summer institutes for high school teachers, financed by the National Science Foundation, but, until the fall of 1959, we were unaware that the N.S.F. was also interested in offering extra study opportunities to high school students.

This article was written with the aim of analyzing the behavior of high school students and all of their factors during history learning during the Covid-19 pandemic, so that knowing the history learning behavior of high school students and responses from high school teachers related to student behavior in the history learning process during the Covid-19 pandemic and analyzing how the reinforcement measures carried out by high school teachers towards students and the effect felt during online learning. The research method used was descriptive qualitative. The subjects of the study were research articles related to students' historical learning behavior during the Covid-19 pandemic, The sample of research articles is 26 journals consisting of national journals and international journals. The results of this study were 1) forms of student behavior in various history lessons; 2) student behavior is influenced by the creativity ability of teachers and the role of the family, and 3) The history teacher provides reinforcement during the online history learning process to students. The conclusion of this study is to maximize the history learning behavior of high school students during the pandemic has 5 (five) aspects learning and management of teaching in the Covid-19 era, know the benefits of learning history using Google classroom, increasing the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process during the Covid-19 Pandemic, the role of families in accompanying student, and increase student activeness in taking online learning.

To teach the most central concepts in evolutionary biology, we present an activity in pollination biology. Students play the role of either pollinator or flower and work through a set of scenarios to maximize plant fitness. This “Pollination Game” facilitates critical and inquiry-based thinking, and we accompany each round of the exercise with a set of discussion questions and answers. We have piloted and fine tuned this exercise with high school students, and improved the exercise with the input of high school teachers at a teaching conference. The activity could easily be adapted for freshman undergraduate students.

The purpose of this study was to analyze selected characteristics of high school teachers who were identified as successful by intellectually gifted high achieving students, and to discover what differentiated these teachers from teachers not so identified. More specifically, the study was concerned with personal and social traits and behaviors, professional attitudes and educational viewpoints, and classroom behavior patterns of effective teachers of gifted high school students.

The Historical Modules Project, a part of the Institute in the History of Mathematics and Its Use in Teaching (IHMT), is sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) and supported by the National Science Foundation. In the project, eighteen high school teachers and six college teachers with experience in the history of mathematics have been working in six teams to develop modules for various topics in the secondary mathematics curriculum. These modules are intended to show teachers how to use the history of mathematics in teaching mathematics.

This study measured high school students' thought disposition through a questionnaire on critical thinking. Factor analysis of the questionnaire revealed 4 factors that showed the aspects of thought disposition. Each factor score was examined to determine differences relating to gender and student grade level. The results showed that no significant differences were identified except in one factor. The thought disposition of high school teachers was also measured. The results of a comparative examination between students and teachers revealed significant differences.

Many scholars of international relations admit to the necessity of making international expertise concentrated in colleges and universities available to the school systems. While there may be a strong consensus among academics to support this as a goal of their institution, it is in many cases not regarded as a priority, nor is it easily accomplished. According to Humphrey Tonkin and Jane Edwards in The World in the Curriculum, “Creating effective cooperation between high schools and colleges is difficult, because of both bureaucratic incompatibilities and a rather ill-considered professional dignity on the part of college teachers.” It must be added that the high school teachers' attitude may also prevent a viable link between the two institutions.

In 1996 the Hungarian Research Student Association (HRSA) was founded. Since then more than 6000 young, talented researchers have belonged to the Association. The founders set two principal aims: (1) to support the gifted and the most promising high school students and (2) to establish an active community. The movement has grown through the work of enthusiastic high school teachers and 800 excellent mentors, providing different facilities to enhance talent (a conference of lectures, posters and an essay competition), and fostering international student exchange. The HRSA organizes science camps and conferences to contribute to self-development of research student networks.

Vocational education policies that are currently being implemented to produce skilled workers in their fields, one of them are, the proportion of Senior High School students: Vocational High School students are 30%: 70%, changes in the number of comparisons have an impact on the needs of the number of teachers, while temporary vocational teachers (productive teachers) in other expertise/specialization programs or other subjects, the number of teachers exceeds the amount that is required. The dual expertise program is a program to provide additional teaching authority for Vocational High School/Senior High School teachers who teach certain subjects to become productive subject teachers in Vocational High Schools in certain skill competencies that are different from previous skills competencies and relevant to their educational background. The objective of this study is to review and describe the implementation of dual expertise policies for Vocational High School teachers and their impact on Demak Regency. The process of preparation, implementation, and results of activities is described so that they can be understood as aspects related to the issues regarding the policy. This research was qualitative research. To get the validity of the data, the researchers used several data validity checking techniques, they were: (1) Technique of checking credibility; (2) Technique of transferability; (3) dependency checking technique. The data analysis used in this study was qualitative descriptive analysis. The result of this study is the impact of implementing dual expertise activities has not been significant towards the fulfillment of  the needs of productive teachers. It is known that the problem is the element of communication, namely the lack of delivery of information from policy actors to the teacher. For other elements such as disposition, resources, and bureaucratic structure, it has been implemented well.
