This paper is the result of tried out of innovation in Mechanics course with problem solving teaching-learning model based on concept by using computer, conducted in DUE Like project at Physics Department of FPMIPA UPI in academic year 2002/2003.In principle, the objective of this innovation is to improve the student role (student centred) in attending Mechanics course, which in turn will improve the quality of the student learning result.Concretely, the main point of the implementation of this learning model in Mechanics course includes:1. Group discussion in finding and solving problem, based on problem and concept structure that presented in handout.2. Presentation the result of group discussion to get comments from all students.3. Strengthening and completing the discussion result by lecturer using computer media.4. Tutorial to guide students in finishing some problems taken from textbook.Derived from the average score and the percent of the success student in each examination, it can be concluded that the usage of problem solving teaching- learning model based on concept by using computer media, significantly can improve the student learning result, compared to the result of the same course when it is just using OHP. While from the answer of the questioner which just returned by 50% students, generally stated that the teaching-learning model and the media used in Mechanics lecture are good enough, even though there is an impression that the students found difficulty in learning alone which based on textbook and handout. It happened, may be, because of the previous learning style which is teacher-centred.

The objective of the present research is to determine whether there is or not the effect of Quantum Teaching learning model on class- and school type-based portfolio assessment mode and its interaction effect on the mathematical problem solving ability of students in both elementary schools and madrasah ibtidaiyahs in Indramayu.The research method used was an experimental method with a 2x2 factorial design. Learning method, assessment mode, and school type were the treatment variables, and mathematical problem solving ability was respond variable. The research sample was grade-V students of SDs Karang Anyar I & II and grade-V students of MI PUI and Al-Irsyad of Indramayu selected by a cluster random sampling. The analysis technique used was two-way ANAVA to test both main effect and interaction effect. From the research result it was concluded that (1) the elementary school student group treated with Quantum Teaching learning model with class-based portfolio assessment mode was more effective in enhancing mathematical problem solving ability than madrasah ibtidaiyah group, (2) the students group treated with Quantum Teaching learning model with display portfolio assessment mode was more effective in enhancing mathematical problem solving ability than the student group treated with document portfolio assessment mode. It was suggested that Quantum Teaching learning model with a display portfolio assessment mode should be made as a learning model prioritized in mathematics learning in schools.

<p>Many students do not like English debate. They argue that in the debate, they should apply four skills in English and should have appropriate matter, manner, and method. One of the reasons which make them do not like the debate is their lack of motivation. To solve this problem, teacher or lecturer should apply the appropriate technique in the teaching-learning process. Cooperative controversy technique is different with the traditional debate. In this technique, debaters change positions and try to reach a consensus at the end of the debate. By doing it before practicing the real English debate format, the students will get the basic knowledge about the debate so they do not directly practice the complicated one. Cooperative controversy increases the number of ideas, quality of ideas, feelings of stimulation, and enjoyment and originality of expression in creative problem solving. If it is compared to the group which does not use controversy, in controversy, the members get motivation and satisfaction in solving the problems.</p>

Students' mathematical problem solving ability is very important. But the results of the observation and supported by several studies of students' mathematical problem solving abilities are still very low. It is suspected that reciprocal teaching learning model with the help of tripships can improve students' mathematical problem solving abilities. This study aims to determine the effect of using reciprocal teaching models with fieldtrips on students' mathematical problem solving abilities. The sampling technique used was cluster random sampling with 2 classes, namely experimental class (the class was treated with reciprocal teaching learning model with fieldtrip), and the control class (the class was treated by conventional models). The hypothesis test used is the t-test. The results of the study found that there were differences in students 'mathematical problem solving abilities using reciprocal eaching learning models with fieldtrips on students' mathematical problem solving abilities. Furthermore, the mathematical problem solving ability of students with reciprocal teaching learning model is better than the students' mathematical problem solving abilities using conventional learning models. The conclusion of this study is that there is influence in improving students' mathematical problem solving ability by using reciprocal teaching learning model with fieldtrip to.

The purpose of this study was to explore general education teachers’ perceptions of their experiences while implementing the Real Engagement in Active Problem Solving (REAPS) model. REAPS is an evidence-based teaching model for challenging and engaging gifted students in a variety of settings. Twenty-three teachers answered 7 semi-structured questions. Using a general inductive approach, three coders with extensive experience in education analyzed the data by conducting independent parallel coding. The core theme, Student-Teacher Involvement in the Process of Discovery, was identified as the teachers' perceptions of the REAPS model. The responses were in three main categories: (a) Creating Meaningful Learning-Teaching Experiences, (b) Bridging the Knowing-Doing Gap, and (c) Increasing Learning Effectiveness. Each category included three to four identified subcategories to describe a specific phenomenon from teachers’ responses. Discussion included the core theme and its relationships with the categories and sub-categories. Ways to implement REAPS in classrooms and as a school-wide approach are discussed.

Problem-solving ability in the real world is the main competency that students must possess in the 21st century. RME can bridge abstract mathematical concepts obtained in the classroom with the real world. This research is a meta-analytic study aimed at analyzing the effect of the RME learning model on problem-solving abilities. The data was obtained from a search of scientific articles that have been published in Science and Technology Index (SINTA) 2, 3, and 4 accredited journals and national proceedings in the period 2016-2021 and is an experimental study with a non-equivalent pre-test and post-test control group design. The research samples that matched the exclusion and inclusion criteria were seven units. The data were analyzed using the JASP V-0.11 application. The results of the heterogeneity test with a value of Q=10.277 and p=0.113>0.05. The combined effect size model used is the fixed effect model. The results showed that the average effect size was 0.42 in the medium effect category. The Funnel Plot and Egger's Test tests with a value of z=0.075 and p=0.940>0.05 indicated no publication bias. In conclusion, the RME learning model affects students' mathematical problem-solving abilities with moderate influence. The results of this study contribute to strengthening the findings of previous studies.
