Abstract:

Bowel dysfunction, including constipation and faecal incontinence, is common, debilitating and associated with psychological problems, exacerbated by social stigma. It can usually be managed effectively with thorough symptom assessment, followed by a personalised treatment plan of conservative, evidence-based and non-invasive interventions, including biofeedback therapy. St Mark's Hospital in Northwest London provides a dedicated biofeedback service with a multidisciplinary, multimodal and behavioural approach. Bowel dysfunction is common in paediatric patients, including adolescents, who were an increasing proportion of St Mark's patients. Adolescence is a period of intense physical, psychological and social development, as young people are faced with hormonal, emotional and sexual pressures. St Mark's established an adolescent biofeedback service to provide dedicated treatment, education and support. This considered the impact of peer pressure, eating disorders and school life, as well as encouraging long-term co-ordinated transition to adult care. Clinicians used comfortable and comprehensible language, with new adolescent-friendly literature based on stages of development. Parental involvement was carefully considered and encouraged where appropriate. This clinic should improve bowel function and quality of life in younger patients, as well as reduce relapse in later life.

Abstract:

The dilemma that propelled Jeff and his older brother Mark to an international high school science competition began when their mother, who feared they would contract the West Nile virus, insisted that the boys cover any exposed skin when outside. Determined to prove that it was not necessary to wear long sleeved shirts and pants on hot summer days, Jeff and Mark explored methods to assess their chances of contracting the West Nile virus if bitten by a mosquito in their Connecticut hometown. “The Science Boys,” a title bestowed by a local newspaper reporter (Murphy, 2004), worked with chemistry teacher and mentor David White, who helped the boys master a powerful software program necessary for their investigation. Jeff and Mark's curiosity, persistence and hard work led to their participation in the Siemens Westinghouse Competition in Math, Science and Technology and a prize of $100,000. Why were Jeff and Mark successful in their endeavor when evidence shows that many students with high aptitude in science fail to live up to their potential? This paper explores the issues around the development of pupils with high level potential in science.

Abstract:

Dragutin Dj. Tufegdzic (1881-1960), a teacher, priest and writer, was Janko Veselinovic's son-in-law. After graduation from Sabac Grammar School (in 1897) and Teacher Training School in Aleksinac (in 1900), he first found employment as a teacher. In 1906 Tufegdzic married Persida, Janko Veselinovic's daughter, and in 1908 he was ordained priest. He served in Badovinci in Macva District, and beginning in 1936, at St Mark's Church in Belgrade, where he was dean (1941-1954). During 1931 he visited the holy places in Palestine and became a pilgrim (hajji). Tufegdzic was a prolific writer, contributor to Orthodoxy, The Voice of the Church, The Wreath, The Bosnian Fairy, The Wheel Dance, The New Spark (Pravoslavlje, Glas crkve, Venac, Bosanska vila, Kolo, Nova iskra) and other journals, the author of a brochure, two novellas and a short story collection. As the heir to Veselinovic?s manuscript legacy, during his lifetime D. Tufegdzic took meticulous care of his father-in-law?s heritage. In The Wreath during 1913 and 1914 he published four notes from Veselinovic?s life (?Janko and the Operator?, ?Janko and the Animal Doctor?, ?Janko?s Lottery Ticket? and ?Janko Responds to the Sergeant?), and they resemble the notes we present here: ?From Janko?s Childhood?, ?Janko?s Last Christmas?, ?Janko?s Gallantry? and ?Janko?s Last Living Moments?). The manuscripts are preserved in the Intermunicipal Historical Archives in Sabac within the Presents and Purchases Collection. The notes were edited according to their date of origin and their call numbers in the Sabac Archives: ?From Janko?s Childhood?, Belgrade, February 9, 1950, Collection (No. 18), ?Janko?s Last Christmas?, Belgrade, February 9, 1950 (No. 19), ?Janko?s Gallantry?, Belgrade, February 12, 1950 (No. 20), and ?Janko?s Last Living Moments?, Belgrade, February 13, 1950 (No. 21). The notes were written on chequered paper 21x33,5 cm in size. Although Tufegdzic wrote his memoirs of Janko Veselinovic from a considerable time distance, his testimonies can be considered authentic, because he got them directly from Janko?s daughter and his wife Persida.

Abstract:

In recent years No Child Left Behind has provided new labels to supposedly high- and low-performing schools and has identified large numbers of schools as low performing. Are school-to-school differences in the quality of instruction offered as great as the public is led to believe? Using the disciplined inquiry typology of Newman, Marks, and Gamoran, we examine whether variation in observable indicators of school quality correspond to real differences in instruction between schools. Consistent with the large body of research on school effects we find very modest school-level variation in the prevalence of disciplined inquiry.

Abstract:

The current study aims to evaluate Saudi EFL Secondary School students' performance on Paul Nation's Standardized vocabulary level tests .It also aims to examine the vocabulary size of EFL Saudi Secondary School students at Asir district. Two tools were used for collecting data. The first one was Paul Nation's Vocabulary Levels Test (VLT). The second tool was a questionnaire (TVLSQ) with 13 items .The purposive sample consisted of (80) students besides (20) English teachers. The study sample was selected from Abha secondary schools schools/Saudi Arabia. The study came out with the following results: Saudi EFL Secondary school students' vocabulary size word test falls within 1,000 frequency level, indicating that students are unable to gasp an average text. Saudi EFL Secondary School student who obtained higher marks in 1,000 word level also obtained higher marks in 2,000 –word level and vice versa. These results confirmed the high correlation between the two tests which hits 0.76.Moreover,in Paul Nation's Vocabulary Levels Test( VLT) the more words Saudi EFL Secondary school student knows, the better score his/her four skills. To most secondary school teachers as well as students, English grammar is the main focus on their teaching and learning, not the vocabulary.

Abstract:

<p>This study analyses information and feedback from matriculation level continuous assessment in the South African education system. Continuous assessment (CASS) at the time carried a 25% weight in the final matriculation (Grade 12) mark, and it provides feedback that affects examination preparation and effort. Weak assessment in schools sends wrong signals to students that may have important consequences for the way they approach the final examination. Moreover, similarly wrong signals earlier in their school careers may also have affected their subject choice and career planning.<br />This study compares CASS data to the externally assessed matric exam marks for a number of subjects. There are two signalling dimensions to inaccurate assessments: (i) Inflated CASS marks can give students a false sense of security and lead to diminished exam effort. (ii) A weak correlation between CASS and the exam marks could mean poor signalling in another dimension: Relatively good students may get relatively low CASS marks. Such low correlations indicate poor assessment reliability, as the examination and continuous assessment should both be testing mastery of the same national curriculum. The paper analyses the extent of each of these dimensions of weak signalling in South African schools and draws disturbing conclusions for a large part of the school system.</p>

Abstract:

A survey was conducted of persons responsible for making undergraduate admission policies at Ontario universities to ascertain their preferences and expectations for provincial examinations. Fifty-eight individuals, at least two from each university, responded to a series of questions by telephone interview or questionnaire. Strong support was expressed for the reintroduction of provincial examinations for mathematics and first language (English or français) courses in the final year of the secondary school program. Most respondents rejected the use of scores on province-wide examinations for rating secondary schools and adjusting school marks. Instead, they expressed a preference for having applicants report both teacher-assigned course marks and provincial examination scores.

Abstract:

There has been some ongoing debate on whether the DAP:QSS can be used to measure intelligence. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the concurrent validity of the DAP:QSS with Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices (RCPM) and the DAP:QSS's accuracy as a predictor of RCPM scores and academic achievement. 184 children from two elementary schools in a region of Southern Italy was evaluated by the DAP:QSS, the RCPM, the Goodenough-Harris Drawing Test (GH), and school marks. Drawings' scores, school marks, and RCPM scores were subjected to a Pearson's correlation. Stepwise regression analyses were carried out to identify significant predictors of RCPM scores and school marks. After controlling for socioeconomic status, the DAP:QSS showed a significant correlation with the RCPM and GH tests and academic achievement. However, the modest correlations with the RCPM, the small amount of variance in RCPM scores accounted for by the DAP:QSS ( R2 = .24), and the errors of the DAP:QSS in correctly classifying participants with borderline/deficient intellectual functioning advise against the use of the DAP:QSS as a measure of intelligence.

Abstract:

Background: India has been facing various sanitation problems like open defecation, insanitary toilets, improper waste disposal, manual scavenging etc. Poor sanitation in schools, particularly rural schools are health hazards and affects school attendance, retention and educational performance. Several studies reported poor knowledge about sanitation practices among school students in India, so there is need to inculcate good sanitation practices among them. ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyan’ is national level health campaign of India which was launched on 2nd October 2014. The present study was first study to create awareness among school students about ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyan’ as well as sanitation practices through ‘SMART Health Education Model’.Methods: An interventional study was conducted in one of the randomly selected public schools in rural field practice area of Bharati Vidyapeeth University Medical College, Pune. The study participants were 100 students belonging to 5th and 6th class and they were exposed to structured ‘SMART Health Education Model’. Entire data from pre and post intervention questionnaire was entered into ‘Microsoft Office Excel Sheet’ and analysed by using ‘Paired t test’.Results: Significant improvement in knowledge about sanitation practices was found after applying ‘SMART Model’ (Pre-test mean marks: 4.17, post-test mean marks: 9.52, t = 24.31, p<0.001). The study reported favourable attitudes of participants towards ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyan’.Conclusions: It indicates that even a simple intervention like ‘SMART Model’ can make significant change in knowledge of school students about personal and environmental hygiene.

Full text

Abstract:

The Evening Service settings of great British composers like Charles Stanford, A. Herbert Brewer, Charles Wood and Herbert Howells are well known and performed often throughout the world. However, little is known about the body of settings created by American composers. There are currently approximately 75 American composers dating from 1890 to the present, with Evening Service settings in print. Joel Martinson, based in Dallas, Texas, is an American composer, church musician, concert organist, and presenter. Although Martinson has composed four Evening Service settings (Evening Service for the St. Mark's School 1996, Evening Service for the Incarnation 2000, Evening Service for Church of the Nativity 2002, and Evening Service for the Transfiguration 2015), these works are not widely known outside of Dallas and small Anglican circles, nor is the value of his contributions to Anglican Evensong repertoire recognized. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that Martinson's four settings make a valuable American contribution to Anglican repertoire through his neo-classical style and creative counterpoint. The four settings are modern and challenging but remain approachable for both choir and audience.

Esta dissertação aborda a temática do Fracasso Escolar, enquanto marca-experiências-travessia produzidas numa escola pública da rede municipal de Juiz de Fora. A pesquisa foi realizada no Ensino Fundamental I (1º ao 5º ano) no segundo semestre do ano de 2011. Esta se configura numa problematização em torno do fracasso escolar, das marcas da experiência que constituem esse lugar e também dos acontecimentos do campo investigativo. Além de problematizar a temática em torno do fracasso escolar a proposta deste projeto é provocar outros modos de dizer aquilo que estamos habituados a ver no campo da pesquisa. Esta pesquisa objetiva-se em fazer borbulhar e intensificar as forças que constituem o dito “fracasso escolar”. Um texto conversando e conversante nos provoca a pensar nas bordas, ou nas laterais que levam ao entre das veredas do fracasso escolar. Fomos estimuladas pelas marcas da produção de uma série de documentos elaborados pela escola, o que nos possibilitou pensar o fracasso escolar por outras vias, escapando das dimensões políticas, pedagógicas e socioeconômicas, sem o intuito de negar essas dimensões, mas a pesquisa transita entre elas. A investigação passa por entre as marcas que nos afetam e nos constitui um corpo, um corpo em movimento, na e com a Pedagogia, no e com o fracasso escolar, na e com a escola. Para esta pesquisa utilizamos o método da cartografia para dar voz ao plano de campo. A pesquisa cartográfica não se estende somente aos processos descritivos ou na classificação dos objetos. A cartografia se preocupa em traçar o processo constante de produção. Este método nos possibilitou compor outra entrada no campo investigativo, fugindo de um campo traçado, com fronteiras preestabelecidas.
This essay deals with the topic of School Failure, as marks-crossing and experiments produced in a public school in Juiz de Fora city. The survey was conducted in elementary school (1st. through 5th. grade) during the second semester of 2011. This sets up as an analysis concerning school failure, about the marks that make up the experience in this place and also the events in the investigative field. Besides problematize the issue about the school failure, the purpose of this project is to provoke other ways to say what we are used to seeing in the research field. This research aims at making bubbling up and intensify the forces/reasons that constitute the so-called "school failure". A chatting and conversing text provokes us to think about the edges or sides that lead to the paths between school failure. We were encouraged by the clues produced in a series of documents prepared by the school, which enabled us to think about the school failure in other ways, escaping from the political, educational and socioeconomic dimensions without the intention of denying these dimensions, but this research uses transitions between them. The research is among the marks that affect us and makes us one body, a moving body with and inside the Pedagogy, and with and in the failure in school, and in and with the school. For this research we used the method of mapping to give voice to the field plan. The cartographic research extends not only to the descriptive processes or in the classification of objects. The cartography is concerned to trace the constant process of production. This method allowed us to write another entry in the investigative field, escaping from a planned field, with pre-established borders.

Abstract:

This study examines how families judge and choose high schools. The review of literature relating to school choice provides a theoretical framework for the study. The review includes an international perspective including both developed countries such as United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, England and Wales, the Netherlands, Scotland and Sweden, and developing countries including India, Chile, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Mauritania, Senegal, Cote d'Ivoire and South Africa. The context within which school choice occurs in South Africa is examined. This context includes continued influence of Apartheid policies and current legislation including the South African Schools Act, The Admission Policy for Ordinary Schools Act and the Norms and Standards for Schools Funding. The literature review includes a critical analysis of the research, both Local and International, which addresses questions as to which factors are considered when judging and choosing schools, who makes the choice school, when the choice of school is made and which sources of information inform the choice of school. The empirical study examines the process of high school choice in urban Cape Town. The group areas Act and other Apartheid policies have created a situation where the respondents have a large number of high schools from which to chose. The selected area reflects diversity in Socio-Economic status, including both privately owned homes and council rental flats and houses. The study is limited to English medium or dual medium schools in the area. It includes both co-ed and single gender schools.

Abstract:

Abstract The school market was established in Sweden in the conjunction of several reforms, which, among other objectives, aimed at increasing diversity in the market. This allowed profitseeking firms to compete against each other in a former monopoly. According to certain theories, the mechanisms of competition are bound to make organizations more homogenous. Other researchers have claimed that differentiating mechanisms such as various strategies allow companies to become more diverse. This paradox presents an interesting research area which we have pursued. Our thesis addresses this contradiction by answering the research question: How do mechanisms of competition influence organizational diversity among charter school groups? This explanatory qualitative case study analyzes ongoing organizational trends among three Swedish charter school groups through a within – and cross case analysis. Our main findings indicate that 1) the mechanisms of competition reduces the diversity among organizations of charter school groups and thus the organizations are becoming more homogenous. However, 2) external imitation does not contribute to the homogenizing effects on organizations since brand strategy, lack of resources and transparency as well as employee resistance limits competitive imitation.

Full text

Abstract:

In Sweden, there has been an increased discrepancy between increasing merit ratings and decreasing results in international surveys such as PISA. At the same time, since the 1990s, Sweden has had several reforms that resulted in increased competition, decentralization and trust-based evaluations. Several studies have shown that grade leniency depends on school provider as well as level of competition between schools. This study focuses on how grade inflation in municipality schools for 9th graders is affected when an independent school is established nearby, using a fixed-effects model at the municipality level but with control variables at the individual level. I study all Swedish 9th graders between 2003-2017. An alternative specification with school fixed effects is also presented. I find that grades are set more leniently in competitive municipalities and that grade deviance is highly correlated with socio-economic factors. It is also concluded that the effect size is small in comparison to the average provider difference and individual level characteristics. The study extends the literature by focusing on grade inflation amongst municipality schools, and by focusing on the change in grade inflation rather than the average effect over time in terms of provider differences.

Abstract:

The practice of parent-initiated school choice in China is characterized by the involvement of substantial amounts of money, various forms of capital, the explicit government policy of banning the practice in words but accommodating it in deeds. This research investigates the school choice situation in three middle schools in Nanning, China. Drawing on Bourdieu’s theory of the forms of capital and cultural and social reproduction and Brown’s Positional Conflict Theory, this thesis argues that the use of cultural, social and economic capital is widespread in the school choice process. With more capital of various types available, middle class families are at a competitive advantage compared to their working class counterparts in the current struggle to gain a place in a good school. The resources of the former families enable their children to gain more cultural capital through extracurricular enrichment activities, exercise more social capital through existing guanxi1 networks and focus more economic capital with which to pay large sums for choice fees, all of which result in the greater chances of entering a desired school. The change of the school admission policy since the mid-1990s from universal entrance examination for junior middle schools to the present school place assignment by proximity has resulted in an unintentional shift from meritocracy to “parentocracy”2. School choice effectively closes out opportunities for quality education for working class families, because they lack the cultural, social and economic capital that is necessary to “work the system”. As a result, school choice tends to insure the intergenerational transmission of existing social classes and to decrease the possibility of upward mobility for the next generation. 1 A network of contacts which an individual may draw upon to secure resources or advantage in the course of social life (see 4.1.2 for detail). 2 See Brown (1990).

Abstract:

The amalagamation of St. Mary's College and St. Joseph's High School, Lismore was a process that began in 1965 when a decision was made to combine Senior classes for the first Higher School Certificate curriculum. There was no thought of amalgamation in 1965 but the decision made then lead to the developments of 1977. Increasing enrolments and the need for a building programme set the scene for a merger of Junior classes and the introduction of coeducation throughout the schools. This process extended from 1977 to 1981. It was a period of conflict and resistance to change but it laid the foundation for the complete amalgamation of the schools to form Trinity Catholic College in 1985. The amalgamation process provides a study of decision-making in a Catholic school context. Changes in the Church, Catholic schools and Religious Orders are reflected in the changes in the way that decisions were made at the three key-points in the story. The study draws attention to the fact that in amalgamations of schools much of the planning is done in terms of the present schools rather than for the new school which is always twice as large and much more complex. The non-educational aspects of amalgamation are also considered because they are a time-consuming but important part of the planning. This study shows the importance of rituals in laying the old schools to rest so that the new school may come into being. A visible indication that things are different is essential when the students, staff and buildings remain as they had been. Since amalgamations are becoming more common as student numbers decline some lessons learned over the past twenty years are recorded so that others may benefit from them.

Abstract:

Schools are currently facing considerable challenges, as the paradigm of today`s society is very different from the view for which most education systems were created. It`s beginning from this principle that many schools in Portugal seek to modify, adapt and improve their teaching practices. Another of the principles that guided this study is the search for good examples at European level. It´s important to create an innovative school culture, marked by collaborative work, openness of school to families, the surrounding environment and a commitment to shared leadership that ensures the sustainability of the innovative culture.

Abstract:

Since the entrance of the graduates of technical high schools to engineering programs is hindered, in application, the graduates of general or science high schools only are accepted to engineering education. For these students, four years are not sufficient to teach the basic and the related application courses of the profession. Looking at the existing curriculum of mechanical engineering, it can be seen that in the 1st Year, the physics and chemistry courses repeat the content of the ones given in high school education. The current approach considers the students as they come to university with inadequate and incomplete knowledge and therefore not ready to follow the engineering science courses. This approach underestimates and denies the high school education contrary to the main objective of its curriculum. The main objective of high schools (secondary schools) is expressed in the Laws and Regulations with such a statement: “General high schools do not prepare students for a specific profession but rather for higher education”. Today, the existing curriculum of Mechanical Engineering is to be renewed by some new science and application courses to satisfy the demands of labor market. However, the total course credit limit prevents such a renewal. In the face of this dilemma, the answer to this question becomes important: Should the university really repeat high school physics and chemistry? In science high schools and in science branch of general high schools the science and mathematics courses have the major importance. The students are well educated on physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics. They are provided with the necessary science and mathematics background that is required in engineering education. Although only the well-educated graduates of science and general high schools are admitted to engineering programs and the students are already ready to follow the engineering science courses thanks to their high school background, unfortunately in some universities (in Turkey in all) science courses part of engineering curricula is filled by physics and chemistry courses with the same content of the ones taught in high school.

Abstract:

Students in the Czech Republic are increasingly interested in secondary school studies with a universal technical focus providing job security and a swift path to retraining according to existing labour market requirements. The aim of the paper is to find out how Czech students of secondary technical schools evaluate their professional development in the course of their secondary school studies. Qualitatively oriented research is focused on the quality of development of the secondary school studies as regarded by the secondary technical school students in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic. The research outputs provide suggestions for students to improve their professional development throughout the secondary school studies, as well as suggestions for procedures that may help remove the occurrence of barriers in their educational paths to a technically oriented profession. A partial output of the research questionnaire survey is to describe, characterise and evaluate the idea of secondary technical schools’ students about their future profession and the level of their motivation to study at Czech technical secondary schools. Students consider the low number of teaching hours per week for teaching new modern technologies and computer-controlled machines to be a critical external barrier in their professional development. They admit low motivation to learn a large amount of theoretical information, without linking theory with practice. Practical work in workshops belongs among popular subjects.

Abstract:

The present situation of education in Slovakia is affected by various negative factors, like decrease of students for demographical reasons, discrepancy between kind and number of secondary schools and disregard to reactions of labor market. But, the main reason is an underfinancing across the education. Allocation of public finance by means of normative funding is inadequate. Normative funding forced secondary schools to accept students with low study score to gain more public finance. In the result it is wrong that school must find another foreign or external financial resource like grants and projects of the European Union. The aim of this paper is to assess the economy of selected secondary schools. Ten Business academies, with pupils aged 15-19 years old, established in Banská Bystrica and Žilina self-governing regions were examined. We used panel data gathered in school year 2013/2014 – 2017/2018 from valuable and verifiable sources like Annual reports of education and financial statements of schools. In paper we use qualitative method of semi-structured interviews with professionals in field to find out which indicators are suitable for economy measuring. Based on qualitative method we determined quantitative and financial indicators, like rate of public and external finance. We´re editing data by part of multi-criteria analyze, in the concrete standardized method. We get the economy result of selected secondary schools by integral indicator of applied mathematical method. In the conclusion of paper, we create economy ranking of schools and we suggest the economical solutions for schools with under average results. Our finding is designed by hands of Business academies for comparison with competition, founders of secondary school and resort of education.

Abstract:

This paper describes a survey to identify how Block Programming is being used in Brazilian schools. The motivation of this research is to provide us with data and insights to support the research project on Block Programming and Computational Thinking in Schools whose goal is to investigate and create a proposal for how Block Programming can be inserted into the school curriculum. The relevance of this research is that the school should prepare the students for the skills (creativity, programming, problem solving, abstraction and innovation) demanded by the job market and for further education (e.g. university courses and qualification courses). In particular, in Brazil the curriculum of schools is governed by a normative document called the Common National Curricular Base (Base Nacional Comum Curricular - BNCC). The BNCC defines that the school curriculum should enable the student to have the following competencies: (1) knowledge; (2) scientific, critical, and creative thinking; (3) cultural repertoire; (4) communication; (5) digital culture; (6) work and life project; (7) argumentation; (8) self-knowledge and self-care; (9) empathy and cooperation; and (10) responsibility and citizenship. Some of these skills can be achieved by learning Block Programming aligned with Computational Thinking instruction. The importance of learning programming in school is justified by the increased use of technology in modern society and the need to be prepared to create and use technological solutions that involve programming and computing. The BNCC highlights that the skills developed by students should be organized by offering different curricular arrangements, according to the relevance to the local context and the possibilities of the education systems. This can be applied in a multidisciplinary way through block programming based on computational thinking in basic education. A literature review was conducted of papers published in the area of block programming at the Workshop on Informatics at School (WIE) between the years 2016 to 2019. The choice of this event is due to the fact that it has been standing out over the years as a forum for discussions where works in the area of digital technologies of information and communication (TDIC) in formal and non-formal spaces of education have been disseminated. During this period we identified papers that describe the use of several environments of Block Programming (e.g. Scratch) and several experiences and proposals of how to insert Block Programming in the students' education.

Abstract:

The need for enhanced engagement of school students for better behavioral outcomes in line with scientific learning and acquisition of science process skills have continually incited educators to strategize innovative teaching approaches. Meanwhile, innovations and research from the scientific community has consistently been prioritized, demanding highly skilled STEM labor in the global market, henceforth challenging educators to brace the next generation with high proficiency in STEM fields. The research study focuses on an out of school approach that caters to the industrial demands in STEM workforce, henceforth acquainting the high school students with research methodology for improving their technical efficiency and intellectual capacity in problem solving and critical thinking. The study program was conducted on 208 students from public schools in Qatar, who participated in 68 research projects, each project being engaged by a group students during a period of 2 months at Qatar University research laboratories. The performance of participants were analyzed by mixed methods implementing both quantitative data based on questionnaires and qualitative data based on feedback interviews from research mentors, schoolteachers and the participant students. The results of the program yielded positive outcomes from the stakeholders as the school students gained competences exhibited by under-graduate or graduate students like research self-efficacy, research skills and aspirations for scientific careers, accomplishing the objectives of the program. This study program henceforth was successful in bridging the gap between high school and university, as the participant students had an advantage in confidence over their peers in university laboratories and technical writing assignments.

Abstract:

The hybrid electric vehicle is changing the automotive market at an impressive rate. While not as highly publicized, the transit bus market is being transformed at an equally great rate. As these markets move forward, the school bus market remains largely unchanged. As an unchanged market, there is still the opportunity to optimize a hybrid vehicle platform for school buses. This study models an existing class C school bus and investigates the potential of both series and parallel hybrids to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. The primary focus of this study is to investigate the potential benefits of adding an electric grid interconnection to hybrid electric school buses, allowing them to add to the hybrid potential to a pre-charged battery pack. These vehicles are known as plug-in hybrids. The school bus models shown in this paper were generated in a Matlab/Simulink-based program developed by NREL called ADVISOR. ADVISOR is used by vehicle manufacturers as a tool to experiment with different vehicle configurations. In this study both a generic series hybrid and a generic parallel hybrid are generated and used in both charge-sustaining and charge-depleting scenarios with varying sizes of battery packs to increase the “grid energy.” The results of each model are presented by fuel economy and emissions reductions taking into account the power plant emissions and electricity costs. The results of the study show that by adding a plug-in connection to existing hybrids, significant savings can be achieved, both in fuel costs and in overall emissions. By analyzing the emissions at the power plant level and at the vehicle level we show that emission of NOx, Particulate Matter and Carbon Dioxide can all be reduced while saving on fuel costs. This study also shows that some models of traditional hybrid can be operated as plug-in models with little or no change to the system to gain significant benefit from the initial charge.
