Mathematics is an important component of school education. It teaches us to think logically. But learning this subject is not easy due to its abstract nature. Students find it difficult to learn mathematics due to a lack of interest in the subject. Nowadays schools give importance to grades and marks rather than teaching the subject interestingly. The present study was conducted to determine high school student’s interest in mathematics and their cognitive strategies concerning gender. The sample consisted of 738 students studying in 9th standard and they are selected from 18 schools of Thanjavur educational district using the purposive sampling technique. Data were analyzed using t-test. The findings showed that a significant difference could be seen in showing interest in learning the subject and applying cognitive strategies based on gender. Females showed more interest in the subject and their cognitive strategies are better than males.

The aim of this research was to determine the profile of learning, the learning process and the effectiveness of the application of quantum writing model based of interpersonal intelligence in teaching high school students write articles on subjects Talenta Bandung High School. The reseach design used is Nonequivalen (pretest-posttest) Control Group Design, which is a quasi-experimental research using all subjects in the study group (intac group) for treatment, instead of using subjects drawn randomly. Data collection instruments used were a matter of a test to measure the ability to write articles and guides observation and interviews. Analysis data technique used was Statistic Descrivtif, t test (paired-sample t-test) and independent sample t-test using SPSS version 22. The results showed that the learning profile is still using the curriculum KTSP, while directing students to the learning process easier to develop ideas into writing through the application of quantum writing model based of interpersonal intelligence.

Indonesian students have limited visual learning capacity. Low literacy of such students has gained the researcher’s attention in developing their literacy through comic worksheets. The researcher created comic worksheets with blank speech bubbles to help high school students build their conceptual framework about disaster risk mitigation. This study attempts to investigate the effectiveness of comic worksheets in helping high school students learn disaster risk reduction (DRR) in the subject of Geography. This study followed the research and development (RD) approach to develop comic worksheets with blank speech bubbles. A paired sample t-test was used to analyse the mean difference between the pre-and post-test scores of 103 students. The results show a significant difference between both means. It indicates that using comic worksheets could improve student learning outcomes. It could also effectively be used as an assessment instrument for the students’ affective aspects. Dialogues among comic characters compiled by students record their attitudes and behaviour in their everyday life. Collaboration between teachers, learning media developers, and artists is needed to create comic packages for learning Geography.

Mathematical communication skills are analyzed based on the following criteria : (1) the ability to write down what is known and asked about the questions; (2) the ability to write answers according to the purpose of the questions; (3) the ability to write down reasons for answering questions; (4) the ability to make mathematical terms and symbols; (5) the ability to make images that are relevant to the questions; (6) the ability to make conclusions in their own language. The results showed that subjects with guardian personality type were only able to master the five criteria of mathematical communication ability. The subject was unable to conclude with his own language.
