Spatial ability is reflected to be one of the major abilities that appear especially essential in learning and doing mathematics. The present study is aimed at observing the spatial ability in geometry among secondary school students and teachers teaching mathematics. Objective of the study was to compare the spatial ability of the students of urban and rural secondary schools. To achieve the above objective, following null hypothesis was tested; there is no significant difference between urban and rural secondary schools' students on spatial abilities. A total of 400 students studying in 9th class from sixteen schools were randomly selected as the sample of the study. The study was conducted with the help of an empirical research design. Different Spatial Ability Tests were developed to measure spatial ability. For the purpose of data collection, observation sheets and test items were developed to investigate the performance of the students. Different statistical techniques like Mean, Standard Deviation, and t-test were applied to analyze the collected data. The study is equally significant for all secondary school students as well as for researchers and curriculum developers. Major conclusions of the study were; urban private secondary school students performed better than the others (government urban, government rural and private rural). Main recommendation was; curriculum was relevant hence it was retained.

This paper reports findings from a study of 1,014 Canberra secondary school students in 15 government and private schools. Open‐ended responses concerning students' understanding of AIDS, and their views regarding prevention, are presented and discussed. Data on source of AIDS information are also investigated. In general, students understand AIDS as sex‐linked, that it involves transmission through the blood, and that there is no cure for it. They espouse more research and education as the main preventive measures, although males also propose homophobic solutions. Teachers and television are the primary sources of AIDS information. Differences by sex of respondent and school type are reported and implications for school‐based AIDS education policies are suggested.

Political knowledge and democratic attitudes are recognized in contemporary studies as important dimensions of democratic political culture. Furthermore, knowledge and attitudes can be seen as integral parts of political competence. Unlike other dimensions of political culture such as, for example, political participation, political interest, etc., research on political knowledge and democratic attitudes are more an exception than a rule. This assessment is especially true for Croatia. In this paper, we attempt to address some of these gaps by focusing on the exploration of political competences of Croatian final-year secondary school students. The paper is divided into two major sections. In the first part, we discuss the meaning and importance of political competence for the functioning of democratic political systems. The second part consists of a presentation and discussion of the research results on political knowledge and democratic attitudes of Croatian final-year secondary school students conducted in three time points - 2010, 2015 and 2021. By doing so, we want to detect the levels of political knowledge and democratic attitudes, as well as the possible changes that occurred in these levels during the research period. Finally, we are also interested in the relationship between these two dimensions of political competence.

Abstract learning environment is very important for one's learning. When a learner understands and controls his/her learning environment, it is called Self-Regulated Learning. Good academic achievement and other aspects of a learner are supported by the ability of self-regulated learning skills.

<i>Aim:</i> To describe the prevalence of cocaine and other drug use in secondary school students in Oviedo (Asturias, Northern Spain) and determine the personality features and levels of sensation seeking in cocaine users. <i>Methods:</i> 2,862 secondary school students (mean age ± SD = 15.87 ± 1.48 years; 50.6% males) were interviewed during the 1998–1999 academic year. For evaluation, the World Health Organization questionnaire for drug consumption, the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) for adults and the Zuckerman Sensation Seeking Scale were used. <i>Results:</i> The prevalence of lifetime, previous year and previous month cocaine use among secondary school students was 6.1, 4.9 and 2.7%, respectively. Cocaine ranked sixth among illicit drugs ever used by this population. Once individuals had used cocaine for the first time, they were likely to use it again (44.8% of those who had ever used cocaine reported that they had done so in the previous month). Compared to students who had never used cocaine (but who may have used other substances), cocaine users had a more extensive drug abuse history. Students who had used cocaine at some point during their lifetime scored significantly higher on the EPQ psychoticism subscale and reported higher levels of sensation seeking. <i>Conclusions:</i> There is a significant rate of cocaine consumption amongst secondary school students of both sexes. Cocaine users are polyconsumers of other substances, both legal and illicit. Those who consume cocaine have a different psychological profile, characterized by high sensation seeking and high levels of psychoticism.

The study investigates secondary students' attitude towards junior school certificate (JSC) examination in Bangladesh. The study is mainly quantitative and data was collected in a computable manner through questionnaires. Secondary students who would take the JSC examination were the main data source of the study. Two hundred fifty students (120 male and 130 female) were chosen randomly from ten secondary schools (five private and five government) in Dhaka. The study revealed that secondary students have a positive attitude towards JSC examination. There was no significant difference between male and female students' attitude towards JSC examination. JSC exam had increased students' both quality of study and study time, enhanced students' creativity, and reduced the fear of examination. On the contrary, JSC examination had hampered students' normal life by extra stress, reduced their playtime, and made them dependent on guidebooks for better grades. Therefore, the study suggests changing current JSC examination systems by creating test items focused on creativity and problem-solving tasks to ensure the quality of education in Bangladesh. These findings can inform the government as well as other relevant stakeholders in making necessary changes in the JSC examination in Bangladesh.

The essay describes the study of the evolution of the sense (understanding) & the practice (activities, participation) of citizenship among Croatian secondary school students (the first new generation of full-age citizens). The study was conducted in line with the similar models in relevant international studies, which enabled a comparative analysis. The analysis of the concept of citizenship was followed by a comparative analysis of the development & the distribution of the sense of citizenship & the measures of the practice of citizenship among Croatian secondary school students. A number of indicators of the sense of citizenship (civic identity, the model & the type of citizenship, the concept of a "good citizen," & the concept of the rights & duties of citizens in democracy), & several measures of the practice of citizenship (interest in politics, discussing politics, following news in the media, the anticipated conventional & protest political engagement, political tolerance) have been used. The comparative analysis has shown that the Croatian students are in some aspect of citizenship at the level of the students in many of the compared countries, but that in others there are significant differences. For example, their level of interest in politics is significantly lower. The analysis has shown that there is a high sense of the rights, but a relatively low sense of the duties. Perhaps this discrepancy between the sense of the rights & the sense of the duties is the main problem in the development of the political culture of Croatian students & citizens. The anticipated conventional & protest participation of the Croatian students is significantly lower than among the students from the other countries. The research also shows that among the Croatian students (this has been noticed in the other countries as well) there is a significant discrepancy between, for example, the sense of the rights & the duties of citizens in democracy & the level of political tolerance: the high sense of one's rights (freedom of speech, association, etc.) coexists with a relatively low level of tolerance. Thus, it can be said that various inconsistencies tag & 'burden' the development of citizenship among Croatian secondary school students. 13 Tables, 40 References. Adapted from the source document.
