Writing is an important part of the curriculum at Indian Hills High School. Students are encouraged to become good and effective writers by “writing across the curriculum.” Teachers are encouraged to have students write in mathematics and science classes, as well as in English classes. Writing in journals and creative-writing assignments allow students to sort out ideas, reinforce their understanding of concepts, or discover weaknesses in their understanding of concepts.

This exploratory study examines the techniques used to generate and select topics for creative writing in each of the following groups: professional writers, high school students identified as having specific interest and ability in creative writing, high school students in above average English classes, and high school students in average English classes. Subjects were presented with a variety of stimuli and asked to generate ideas for potential writing projects, select their best idea, and reflect on strategies used to generate and select ideas. Eight problem finding and eleven problem selection strategies of student writers were identified. Significant differences in the number of ideas generated were found by both group and sex, with more able writers generating more ideas than less able writers, and girls producing more ideas than boys.

The Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM 1989) states that “[o]ne of the most important properties in geometry, the Pythagorean theorem, is introduced in the middle grades” (p. 113). Although the Standards document assigns much prominence to the Pythagorean theorem, our experience teaching at the university level has revealed that students know the theorem by name and can recite a2 + b2 = c2 but that they often cannot handle even simple computations using the formula. Students' experience with the Pythagorean theorem in high school needs to be broadened by their continually using the standard formula as well as applying the formula to geometric figures and special right triangles-in particular, the 30°-60°-90° and the 45°-45°-90° right triangles. The following game was developed to afford high school students more opportunity for practicing the formula in an engaging way. This game was created by the second author of the article, a high school classroom teacher, while he was a student in a class taught by another of the authors.

The main purpose of this study is to answer the following question. Is there any influence of junior high school student’s opinion on the importance of the National Examination against the 2018 National Examination results because currently the National Examination is no longer a determinant of graduation? The population of this study was junior high school students participated in the National Examination in 2018. The data in this study were in the form of test scores and students’ answers to questionnaires in 34 provinces throughout Indonesia. Filling out questionnaires was carried out voluntarily on the last day of the National Examination, so the number of respondents filling out the questionnaire was 3.224.331 from 37.859 junior high school students. The number of respondents is the sample in this study. Based on the results of the t-test analysis obtained as follows. The influence of student opinions stating that the UN is important and not important to the 2018 UN results even though the UN is not a determinant of graduation is proven. This means that there is a significant influence (P <0,000) of the student's opinions towards the 2018 National Examination results for subjects: Indonesian, English, Mathematics, and Science, (Sig. 0,000). Most of the SMP / MTs students amount to 199.222 (90.7%) stated that the National Examination was important, while students who stated that the UN was not important were 20.340 (9.3%) students. The conclusion is that there is an influence of the junior high school students’ opinion about the importance of the National Examination towards the 2018 UN results even though the National Examination is not a determinant of graduation.

In this study, the purpose is to describe advanced students’ motivational status to learn Nature of Science (NOS) and their understandings on NOS by using Ranking Questionnaire for “interest” and “importance” and modified version of Views on Nature of Science Questionnaire. The results indicated that the participants did not see NOS as an important subject compared to mathematics, science and social science subjects. Moreover, the participants were more interested in mathematics and science subjects than in NOS subject. The results on NOS understandings also showed that the participants were transitional in terms of “evidence and observation based science” and “subjectivity” while they had informed understandings on “place of imagination and creativity in science”. They were also naïve in terms of “existence of one method in science”, “no hierarchy between theory and law”, “tentativeness” and “difference between observation and inference”. The results explained an important motivational problem to implement any NOS teaching methods to change misunderstandings. Key words: advanced high school students, motivation, nature of science, school subjects.
