This study aims to analyze the determinants of the success of senior high school students' learning, which later will be used for the development of demand programs in junior high schools. The determining factors of success referred to in this study are the aspects of academic talent that is measured by using the IST (intelligent structure test) instrument. The scores of the national exam are used as indicators of the success of students' learning in high school. The method of this study is a survey design involving eight high schools in Bandung City. The samples covered 859 students consisting of 573 of science program, 248 of social studies program, and 38 of language program. The talent scores of the language program shows good predictive power with r = 0.506 and are significant at 99% confidence level. The talent scores of sciences have a very little predictive power (r = 0.078, and not significant). The talent scores of social studies have sufficient predictive power (r = 0.335, significant at p <0.05). The implications and recommendations of this study are also discussed as the results.

Orientation of students' learning goals directs to the process and learning strategies that they use. The orientation of the goal of learning performance often makes students go for academic cheating to get high scores.This study aims to describe the attitudes of middle school students towards academic cheating and the orientation of their learning objectives in terms of their grade level status. The results showed that: (1) students generally had an attitude of justification for academic cheating; (2) students have mastery learning goal orientation; (3) there are significant differences in attitudes towards academic cheating both in terms of class level and parental demographic status; (4) there is a significant difference in attitudes toward academic cheating seen from the orientation of their learning goals, and (5) there is no significant difference in orientation towards learning objectives in terms of class level and parental demographic status; Based on the results of the study, counseling teachers are expected to be able to provide basic services to develop resistance to academic cheating; and responsive services to develop mastery learning goal orientation for students who have performance learning goal orientation.
