Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk (1) mendeskripsikan kemampuan literasi matematis dan self-efficacy siswa kelas XI SMA; (2) mendeskripsikan dampak perbedaan kebijakan sistem zonasi terhadap kemampuan literasi matematis dan self-efficacy siswa kelas XI SMA; dan (3) mendes­kripsikan hubungan antara literasi matematis dan self-efficacy siswa kelas XI SMA. Penelitian survei ini melibatkan 346 siswa dari Kota Banjarmasin dan 321 siswa dari Kota Palangka Raya. Kedua kota tersebut memiliki kebijakan zonasi yang berbeda. Pengumpulan data dila­kukan me­lalui tes dan angket yang telah memenuhi kriteria valid dan reliabel. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan adalah statistik deskriptif dan inferensial. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa literasi matematis siswa di Kota Banjarmasin dan Kota Palangka Raya berada pada kategori ren­dah, sedangkan self-efficacy siswa pada kedua kota berada pada kategori sedang. Tidak terdapat per­bedaan yang bermakna pada rata-rata literasi matematis antara siswa di Kota Banjarmasin dan Palangka Raya. Namun demikian, terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna pada rata-rata self-effi­cacy antara siswa di Kota Banjarmasin dan Palangka Raya. Kebijakan zonasi di Kota Palangka Raya menyebabkan perbedaan rata-rata literasi matematis siswa pada sekolah kategori tinggi, sedang, dan rendah. Sedangkan kebijakan zonasi di Kota Banjarmasin menyebabkan perbedaan rata-rata self-efficacy siswa pada sekolah kategori tinggi, sedang, dan rendah. Terakhir, terdapat korelasi positif yang signifikan (meskipun lemah) antara literasi matematis dan self-efficacy siswa kelas XI SMA di Kota Banjarmasin dan Kota Palangka Raya (r = 0,194). Mathematical literacy and self-efficacy of students in terms of differences in zoning system policies.AbstractThis study aimed to (1) describe the mathematical literacy abilities and self-efficacy of eleventh-grade senior high school students; (2) describe the impact of differences in zoning system policies on the mathematical literacy and self-efficacy of eleventh-grade senior high school students; and (3) describe the relationship between mathematical literacy and self-efficacy of eleventh-grade senior high school students. This survey involved 346 students from Banjarmasin City and 321 students from Palangka Raya City, Indonesia. The two cities have different zoning policies. The data was collected through tests and questionnaires that met the valid and reliable criteria. The data analysis technique used was descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that students’ mathematical literacy in Banjarmasin and Palangka Raya City was in a low category, while self-efficacy in both cities was in the medium category. There was no significant difference in the mean of mathematical literacy of students in Banjarmasin and Palangka Raya City. How­ever, there was a significant difference in the mean of self-efficacy of students in Banjar­masin and Palangka Raya City. The zoning policy in Palangka Raya City causes differences in the mean of mathematical literacy of students in high, moderate, and low category schools. In contrast, the zoning policy in Banjarmasin City causes differences in the mean of self-efficacy of students in high, medium, and low category schools. Lastly, there was a significant positive correlation (al­though weak) between mathematical literacy and self-efficacy of eleventh-grade senior high school students in Banjarmasin and Palangka Raya City (r = 0.194).

This study examined the influence of Career Self-Efficacy, Gender Stereotyping and Career Self-Concept on Sex-Typed career choices of students in the Asante Akim North Municipality. The descriptive, survey design using the quantitative approach was adopted for the study. Eight hundred (800) final year Senior High School Students (five hundred) (500) males and three hundred (300) females from the Asante Akim North Municipality were selected for the study using opportunistic and purposive sampling methods. Data were analyzed using various analytical techniques including multiple regression and t-tests. Among the present study’ findings were that Career Self-Efficacy was found to have more influence on the students’ Choice of Sex-Typed Career than Gender Stereotyping and Career Self-Concept. The present findings also suggested that the female students chose significantly more female-dominated Careers than their male counterparts. Similarly, students from female-dominated families chose more female-denominated careers than those from male-dominated families. Among the recommendations was that since it was found that students in the present study appeared to sex-stereotype careers, more guidance and counselling co-ordinators should be trained in order to counsel students to choose career according to their abilities and not their sex. The findings are discussed in relation to pervious findings and recommendations made based on the present findings.

This study explores the link between smartphone addiction in senior high-school students, parent–child relationship, loneliness, and self-efficacy on the basis of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and social cognitive theory (SCT). A survey of 2172 students (1205 female students, 966 male students; mean age = 16.58 years, SD = 0.78) from 32 senior high schools in Taiwan was conducted. Moderation mediation analysis was performed using Model 14 of SPSS PROCESS-macro to test the hypotheses of this study. The result showed that the parent–child relationship was negatively related both to smartphone addiction and loneliness, which mediated the link between parent–child relationship and smartphone addiction. Self-efficacy was also found to moderate the level of loneliness related to smartphone addiction. Specifically, loneliness will ease when the parent–child relationship improves, and smartphone addiction will accordingly lessen. It was also discovered that the elevation of self-efficacy could mitigate the level of addiction. Lastly, this study provided parents, education agencies, and other policymakers in the education sector with implications based on these findings. Preventive measures for smartphone addiction and recommendations for future investigations are also given.

This article investigates the types and variations of collocations used in English Lembar Kerja Siswa (LKS) books for senior high school students. The researchers employed corpus analysis in conducting this study. Data were collected from five English LKS books for grade X, XI, and XII Senior High School (SMA/SMK/MA). AntConc 3.5.8 was used to extract the data, which were then analyzed to find out the types and variations of collocations in the books. The findings revealed that the books consisted of Grammatical G1 (1804 tokens), Grammatical G2 (1 token), Grammatical G3 (423 tokens), Grammatical G4 (4664 tokens), Grammatical G5 (1 token), Grammatical G7 (34 tokens), Lexical L1 (3889 tokens), Lexical L3 (533 tokens), Lexical L4 (687 tokens), Lexical L5 (4 tokens), and Lexical L7 (2 tokens) collocations. Grammatical G4 collocation was mostly found in the LKS books. Furthermore, the collocation types in the English LKS books by grade levels were not various. The researchers suggest that English teachers should introduce collocations in their teaching to help the students to acquire the natural use of English.

Over the past few years, teaching and learning of statistics have been influenced by the emergence of the reform movement in education such as the K-12 basic education curriculum. Those of statistics concepts have changed both elementary and secondary level. Considering the educational reform in the Philippines, the study was conducted to determine whether there are significant differences of the determinants such as gender, type of school, parent’s educational level, family monthly income, family size and Senior High School track preference to students’ self-efficacy beliefs, attitudes towards Statistics, and performance in Statistics. The causal-comparative research design was used for comparing two or more groups to find the differences or determine whether the independent variable influences the dependent variable. The data were gathered from 570 senior high school students of both public and private schools in Mindanao, Region XI. The study adopted the questionnaires on self-efficacy beliefs and attitude towards Statistics while it utilized a researcher-made questionnaire for performance in Statistics. Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) was used to determine whether multiple levels of independent variables on their own or in combination with one another influence the dependent variables. The findings revealed that among the demographic factors, only type of school has a significant difference to the self-efficacy beliefs, attitudes towards Statistics, and performance of senior high students in Statistics. Implications from the findings of this study might suggest that improving of K-12 school facilities by the school public administrators and collaborative effort of teachers to enhance the students’ self-efficacy, attitudes towards statistics and teaching statistics reveals optimistic results.  Also, school administrators may provide opportunities for Statistics teachers to hone their pedagogical skills in promoting and building students’ self-confidence and interest in the subject.
