  In order to find out the influence of Korean Middle School Students' relationship by science class applying STAD collaborative learning, this study conducted a social network analysis and sought to analyze the communication networks within the group and identified the change process of the type. The subject of this study was 30 students of the second grade at the girls' middle school located in Korea's Metropolitan City. For five weeks, science class applying STAD Collaborative Learning was implemented in the ‘reproduction and generation’ chapter. First, the class social network analysis showed that all the prices of density, degree centrality, closeness centrality, and betweenness centrality have risen after science class applying STAD Collaborative Learning. Also, the classroom's relationship index has improved. In other words, STAD Collaborative Learning encouraged interaction among students. Second, in order to research popularity, students' centrality analysis through the class social network analysis showed that top-ranked students' values of density, degree centrality, closeness centrality, and betweenness centrality appeared commonly high after science class applying STAD Collaborative Learning. Third, the analysis of the communication network change within six groups showed that all channel type appeared most often and circle type also appeared anew after science class applying STAD Collaborative Learning. In other words, it was possible to exchange information freely and communicate with all members of the group through STAD Collaborative Learning.

Primary school learners’ first encounters with mathematics in a traditional learning environment often create lifelong ‘math phobia.’(Papert 1980) The situation in a country emerging from an oppressive education system designed to educationally disempower the majority of the population is much worse. The typical scenario in a previously disadvantaged South African primary school is a classroom filled beyond capacity with the educator struggling to establish an effective learning environment. Thus the educator resorts to rote learning, drill and practice and ‘chalk and talk’ methods of teaching.  The individual needs and levels of learners are disregarded and blanket assessment methods are employed (Naidoo and Naidoo 2006b). Collaborative learning is minimal or non-existent. These traditional teaching strategies often disregard cultural and social factors, and pre-knowledge frames of learners.  Furthermore there is a dire shortage of qualified mathematics educators in the South African schooling system. Therefore there is an urgent need for alternative teaching and learning strategies to address the teaching of mathematics in primary schools. The introduction of networked computer laboratories to previously disadvantaged South African primary schools enables the use of computers as powerful tools to analyze the thought processes of learners during their early encounters with mathematics. A blended learning approach using a networked computing environment and LOGO mathematics to facilitate the teaching and learning of area in a Grade 5 class produced significantly higher grades and an enhanced learning experience, both for learners and the educator, as compared to a second Grade 5 class utilizing traditional teaching and learning methods only. This study entailed the use of software to promote collaborative learning encompassing both learner-learner and learner-educator interaction. Apart from the educator using the computer as a medium of instruction via the software, learners were allowed to actively provide input. Furthermore the software allowed the educator to view learners’ progress during activities and provide real-time input via the computer.

Learning English

This research aimed to describe the implementation of problem based learning science in learning English at the XI grade science class of SMA Negeri 1 Singaraja. The subjects of this research were an English teacher and 32 students of class XI MIA 6 in SMA N 1 Singaraja. Research methods used were observation, interview and questionnaire. The results of this research show that: (1) the implementation of problem based learning in learning English in XI MIA 6 class of SMA N 1 Singaraja has been implemented based on the phases of this model; (2)The problems faced by the English teacher during the implementation of problem based learning are  the teacher is difficult to manage the learning time, determine the problem which is related to students’ characteristics, and cannot check all of the students’ work because of the big number of the students’; (3)The main problem faced by the students during the implementation of this model was they cannot improve in collaborative learning in solving the problem. However, the students give a positive response to the implementation of problem based learning in their class.

Age Range

School children and youth from Primary Grade 5 to Secondary Grade 7 (average age range, 9 to 18 years) in Hong Kong completed a sports participation questionnaire and rated their own academic performance (AP). Results of ANOVAs indicated that frequency and extent of participation tended to be significantly higher for students with high self-ratings than for students with less satisfactory self-reported performance, and that this trend was significantly stronger in females than males and present in all age groups. The correlations between participation and AP were generally significant but low. These results indicate that those who perceive themselves to be the better achievers in academic subjects are as a group the more frequent participants, with stronger motives for involvement in sport and physical activity. A prevalent fear among parents and teachers in Hong Kong, that regular sport participation could threaten academic achievement, appears unfounded.

<em>Paper Scribbles</em><span> (PS) consisting of markers, vanguard sheets and 3M </span><em>Post-It</em><span> notes, is a pedagogical tool to harness collective intelligence of groups for collaborative learning in the classroom. Borrowing the key features of PS and yet avoiding some of their physical limitations, a computer-based tool called </span><em>Group Scribbles</em><span> (GS) was designed to enable high performance synchronous, face to face collaborative experiences in the classroom. In our exploratory study, we discuss and compare the different properties of PS and GS technologies in two elementary grade 5 classes. The findings reveal that there are not only physical and technical differences but more importantly, pedagogical differences between the two technologies that accounts for different collaborative learning mechanisms.</span>

A fluency disorders prevention program for classroom use, designed to develop the feeling of fluency control in normally fluent preschool and primary grade children, is described. The program addresses the affective, behavioral, and cognitive aspects of fluency and features activities that not only develop the child’s fluency motor skills but also teach the language of fluency by developing the child’s metalinguistic skills.

Improve Student Learning

Abstract In recent years, colleges and universities across the country have been called upon to increase the quality of education provided and to improve student retention rates. In response to this challenge, many faculty are exploring alternatives to the traditional “lecture-centered” approach of higher education in an attempt to increase student learning and satisfaction. Collaborative learning is one method of teaching, which has been demonstrated to improve student learning outcomes.
