This study aims to examine the effects of high school students' time management behaviors on their satisfaction with educational consumption and school life. Three hundred seventy-six high school students in Seoul participated in this investigation. The SPSS ver. 19.0 program was adopted for the descriptive analysis, factor analysis, Cronbach's ${\alpha}$, and multiple regression analysis. The results of the present study can be summarized as follows: first, the levels of time management behavior, satisfaction with educational consumption at school, and satisfaction with school life were relatively high. Second, an analysis of the relative influence on satisfaction with educational consumption revealed that the students' time management behavior was the most influential factor, followed by academic achievement. As the levels of time management behavior and academic achievement were high, the level of satisfaction with educational consumption was high. Finally, an analysis of the relative influence of satisfaction with school life also revealed that the students' time management behavior was the most influential factor, followed by academic achievement. Based on the findings, that is, the effects of high school students' time management behavior and other involved variables on their satisfaction with educational consumption and school life, a future study can present specific ways to enhance the level of satisfaction with educational consumption and school life.

It is crucial to understand the characteristics of learner questioning due to the effects it has on learning. This study focuses on the effects of middle school students questioning on their academic achievement in an online inquiry learning environment. A survey of 827 middle school students was conducted; the students took part in an online math and science program offered by a center for the gifted. Throughout the survey, learner questioning was analyzed, and its correlation with academic achievement was investigated. An analysis was based on questioning categories of a low- and high-level questions from previous studies. Through the survey, it was found that the number of learner questions asked in the online environment was small, but the number of low- and high-level questions were almost equal. Secondly, the higher the academic achievement level of the student, the higher the possibility they would ask either low- or high-level questions. Lastly the group of students in both low- and high-levels of questioning earned the highest average scores on formative evaluations and inquiry tasks. This indicates that regardless of the level of questions, the act of questioning itself is highly related to the academic achievement. However, in the case of advanced learning projects, the quality of questioning and high-level questioning affected the academic achievement of students. Based on these results, implications for the encouragement of learner questioning and support for asking high-level question are suggested.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of high school students' mental health on their academic achievement and school dropout rate by using longitudinal data. Methods: For this study, 153 high schools were randomly sampled on a nationwide scale. The descriptive data was collected from a school information internet site which is organized by the Korean Ministry of Education. We used the schools' mean scores on the Adolescent Mental Health Problem-Behavior Questionnaire-II (AMPQ-II) scale which was used for estimating students' mental health in the 2013 school-based mental health screening test. The data analysis was conducted by using hierarchical regression analysis. Results: The results of this study showed that the AMPQ-II scale's mean scores have significant effects on the following year's academic achievement and annual dropout rates. Especially, the AMPQ-II scale's mean scores tend to increase the school dropout rate in vocational schools. Conclusion: The finding of this study is that Korean high school students' mental health states significantly influence their academic achievement and school dropout rate.

This study identified the relationship between academic stress and hopelessness among female high school students. The self-administered questionnaires were given to 334 female high school students located in D-city during the period from August 20, 2018 to September 20, 2018. As a result, the distribution of the level of hopelessness among those surveyed was 61.6% for the normal range group, 23.1% for the mild range group, 12.9% for the moderate range group, and 2.4% for the severe range group. The level of hopelessness, according to the academic stress of the study subjects, was significantly higher in the higher academic stress group than that in the lower academic stress group (p=0.000). Hopelessness also showed significant positive correlation with academic stress (r=0.371, p<0.01). The results of the logistic regression analysis showed that the risk ratio of hopelessness was significantly increased 9.27 times in the higher academic stress group when compared to that in the lower academic stress group. According to the multiple regression analysis, the significant variables affecting hopelessness were satisfaction with school life, conversation with parents, eating regularly, stress due to tests, stress due to studies and stress about career paths. Given the above results, the hopelessness of female high school students is significantly related to academic stress. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and implement programs that can properly control academic stress factors.

The purpose of this study was to examine the basic academic achievement of technical high school students, their learning capability about major, their adaptability to school instruction and whether those factors of them was linked to their career in an effort to suggest workable reform measures. Technical high school seniors to grasp their basic learning capabilities and their opinions on the curricula. The findings of the study were as follows: First, the civil engineering students at technical high school weren't fully able to understand what they learned because of their poor basic achievement. They should take all the required courses to fix their academic deficiencies in the first year of high school, and client-centered additional education should be provided about particular subjects, such as mathematics, which they should learn to study their major. Second, many of the students chose technical high school through the advice of parents or since they weren't able to go onto academic high school. So they entered technical high school without knowing well about their major, and vocational education wasn't properly publicized. As students make a critical career decision in middle school, the government should build permanent pavilions for vocational-education exhibition where interested students can acquire information and explore their career without any restraints. Current fragrant vocational education that is based on experiential learning should be avoided. Third, the government substituted regular classroom teaching for field practice, and that resulted in providing just uniform instruction, destroying learning atmosphere and eventually holding teachers back from offering quality education. To remedy the situation, two different sorts of classes should be prepared. One type of classes are for college- bound students, and the others are for job-seeking students. College- bound students should receive education about humanities to improve their academic deficiencies, and job-seeking seniors should be allowed to take field-practice courses at authorized companies in the second semester. It's advisable personally and socially to help ensure their successful and immediate social adjustment.

This study aims at identifying the effect of problem posing on the academic achievement in high school mathematics. As subjects of the study, two classes of first grade in high school were selected. One of them was treated with problem posing learning, the other was treated with learning-in-a-body. Each has 40 students and was also divided into two groups(high- level and low-level) according to their learning-level. Two instruments were used for this study. One was the teaching-learning method developed by the researcher. The other was TTCT(Torrance Test of Creative Thinking). The 't-test' was used for this study and the significant level of test was within 5 percent. The results of this study are as follows: 1. The group with problem posing learning showed significantly higher academic achievement(learning-ability) than the one with learning-in-a-body. 2. There was no significant difference in the academic achievement(creativity) between the two groups. But there was significant difference in the creative factors. 3. There was no significant differences in the academic achievement between high-level-groups in each group. 4. There was significant difference in the academic achievement (learning-ability) between low-level groups in each group. And there was significant difference in the creative factors. On the basis of the results above, the following conclusions could be made. The problem posing learning method was more effective in the academic achievement in highschool mathematics than learning-in-a-body. Especially low-level group was more effective than high-level group. These facts implies that it is more effective for a teacher to adopt the problem posing learning considering the students' learning-levels.

The purpose of this study is to examine the relation among adolescents' perception of parental overprotection, goal-seeking orientation, self-handicapping and academic procrastination. Questionnaires were administered to 1200 male and female high school students in Gyeonggi Province. A total of 942 questionnaires were statistically analyzed through mean, standard deviation, frequency analysis, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The major results of the study are as follows: First, adolescents' academic procrastination differed by school grades. Second, for the high-performing group, self-handicapping, goal-seeking orientation and parental overprotection were significant predictors of their academic procrastination. For the mid-level performing group, self-handicapping and goal-seeking orientation were significant predictors of their academic procrastination. For the low-performing group, self-handicapping was the only predictor of their academic procrastination. Third, for the high-performing group, self-handicapping meditated the relation between parental overprotection and academic procrastination. Those results provide useful information regarding proactive support or intervention for adolescents' academic procrastination.
