However, the course of The Development of Primary School Age Children at the Department of Primary School Teacher Education, School of Education, State University of Jakarta, has not a reference which can be used as a main text book. This research, therefore, developed a text book to meet the need. Applying research and development method introduce by Borg and Gal and tried out, this research has produce a main text book that has proved a high readability and signifiacnt to the course. It was also found out that the text book produce is able to motivate the students to learn and has improved the students’ learning achievement.

Laboratory utilization is very important to support learning. The laboratory is very useful for measuring the standards of scienceand theory. Theoretical learning and practicum in the laboratory are integral activities in the teaching and learning process.This study aims to describe and find a laboratory readiness solution for the Department of Primary School Teacher Education,Faculty of Education, Semarang State University which supports the implementation of e-learning. The research variables werethe completeness of laboratory facilities, laboratory governance system of the Department of Primary School Teacher Education,lecturer and technical management, and users of the Laboratory of Primary School Teacher Education Study Program. Thesubjects of this study were lecturers, students of the Department of Primary School Teacher Education. Data items throughquestionnaires, observation, interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive. The resultsshowed the level of satisfaction of students and lecturers as laboratory users. This also illustrates the problems that often occurin managing laboratories of the Department of Primary School Teacher Education. Integrated laboratories at the Department ofPGSD FIP Semarang State University have a dual role in the fields of education, research and community service, although thethree are still in a sufficient category. Integrated laboratory management requires special management that is different fromlaboratory management in the field of study

This article focuses on how history as a concept is understood by first-year BA Education students. Students were asked to respond to the following questions: ‘what is history?’, ‘what is history to you?’ and ‘who writes history?’ Verbal and written consent was obtained from the students to participate in the study. Their answers demonstrated a concept of history that is imbued with a spatial and temporal as well as ideological and moral position. This article argues that, through the data, it seems that for these students the concept of history emerges as an object that is given a moral value, rather than history being seen as having value as a knowledge or skill set. I draw parallels between my findings and Donovan and Bransford’s work on how history is learnt by primary school students in the United States. There are clear similarities between the primary school understandings recorded in Donovan and Bransford, and first-year university understandings that emerged in the data of this study. This article argues that if history is understood as moral, as ‘good’ or ‘bad’, critical thinking and analytic skills which learning history can imbue are vastly diminished. Furthermore, this article uses Lauren Berlant’s concept of ‘cruel optimism’ to consider the implications of how the participating students understand what history is.

In this article, we report on a study of two South African primary school teacher education cohorts undertaken to investigate and understand their readiness to succeed in higher education and to plan support accordingly. Using the methodology of portraiture, we generated data from a combination of student questionnaires and examination results. Qualitative content analysis enabled the construction of six personas and three main themes. The portraits helped with an understanding of the complexity of the themes, in particular with how an identification of both the malleable and non-malleable elements affecting students' lives could inform and shape interventions for successful transition into university. More specifically, the dominance of particular characteristics in the personas provided information about which student groups required the most psychosocial and academic support and where it was required. The portraits also helped us to gauge the value of existing first-year initiatives, such as the educational excursion, for promoting student enculturation and in overcoming their initial anxieties and preconceptions. We argue for more nuanced information about students to inform a multi-pronged approach to student support that may extend much longer than teacher educators anticipate.
