The purposes of this research were based on the above problem statement, therefore, the purposes of the research which would be reached were: 1) To know whether there is influence of the headmaster supervision on the performance of the elementary school teachers in Gugus V Nakula of Serengan Sub-district, Surakarta; 2) To know how much the influence of the headmaster supervision on the performance of the elementary school teachers in Gugus V Nakula of Serengan Sub-district, Surakarta was. This scientific paper applied the School Action Research (PTS) that was an effort of increasing the work discipline of teachers in the teaching learning process through an individual supervision through a technique approach of class visit consisting of two cycles and each cycle consisted of four stages: (1) planning, (2) implementation of action, (3) observation/evaluatiom, and (4) reflection. This School Action Research was conducted in Elementary Schools all over Gugus V Nakula of Serengan Sub-district, Surakarta Municipality. Gugus V Nakula consisted of 5 elementary schools, 2 public elementary schools and 3 private elementary schools SMP only the national standard in the district of Nusa Penida includes two (2 ) regions and villages Desa Lembongan Jungutbatu, with the amount of students was 315 (three hundres and fifteen) students, consisting of 12 (twelve) classes, with the amount of teachers was 31 (thirty one) teachers, 3 (three) people had qualification of S2 (post graduate degree), 28 (twenty eight) people had qualification of S1 (undergraduate degree), 1 (one) person had Diploma I (D1) degree. Based on the results of data analysis, either in cycle I or cycle II, it could be concluded that 1) there was an influence of the headmaster supervision on the performance of 1-6 grades teachers in the elementary schools all over Gugus V Nakula, Serengan Sub-district, Surakarta. It was proved from the analysis scores in the cycle I which the average percentage was 67.26%  which increased into 78,12%; 2) The amount of influence of the headmaster supverision on the performance of 1-6 grades teachers in the elementary schools all over  Gugus V Nakula, Serengan Sub-district, Surakarta in this research was 10.86%

This research aimed to investigate the implementation of hypnoteaching method on mathematics instruction in Muncar, Banyuwangi, Indonesia. The research used descriptive research design in the form of case study. The research subjects were the sixth grade elementary school teachers of five schools in the school work group VI in Muncar sub-district of Banyuwangi district. The data were collected by using interview, questionnaire, observation and documentation. To analyze the collected data, descriptive qualitative and descriptive statistics were used. The research findings were as the following. 1) The teaching learning process inmathematics instruction from pre instructional activities, main activities up to post activities was good (78.9%). 2) The students participation in the hypnoteaching class showed: a) activities in group working, in giving ideas, and in answering questions were good (79.86 %), b) responses on hypnoteaching instruction was very good (90.9 %), and c) assessment on the teachers performance was very good ( 90.2 %), 3) the quality of hypnoteaching method with eight aspects was good. Three aspects: empathy, sympathy, and communication ability, were very good (86.66%) whereas the other five aspects: teachers performance, language use, appropriate expression with the subjects, motivating students, and managing students mood, were good (71.6%). The eight aspects were implemented well by the teachers in grade VI at the Public Elementary School (SDN) 1 Sumbersewu (75.0 %), SDN 3 Sumbersewu (72.7%), and SDN 4 Sumbersewu (72.2%).

Resumo: Neste artigo propomos apresentar parte dos resultados de uma pesquisa que buscou investigar questões relacionadas ao conhecimento do professor, ao seu processo de aprendizagem e à organização do ensino de matemática. Assim, foi tomada como questão de investigação “como a organização do ensino do conceito de número racional, na sua representação fracionária, a partir das contribuições da Teoria Histórico-Cultural e, em particular, da Atividade Orientadora de Ensino, influencia e é influenciada pelo desenvolvimento do pensamento teórico do professor que ensina matemática no quarto e quinto ano do ensino fundamental?”. Ou seja, como o conhecimento e a compreensão que o professor tem sobre fração impacta a forma como esse professor organiza o seu ensino. Como princípio orientador da investigação utilizou-se o experimento didático com professores dos quartos e quintos anos do ensino fundamental. Os resultados dessa pesquisa reforçam que a aprendizagem docente pode resultar de uma constante busca mediada de novas ações que reflitam novas apropriações teóricas do professor na articulação entre a teoria e a prática na organização do ensino de matemática. No trabalho docente, essa transformação se dá por meio da apropriação do conhecimento científico do conceito e na organização do ensino que passa a ser objetivada em novas práticas. Palavras-Chave: Teoria Histórico-Cultural. Fração.  Aprendizagem docente. Atividade de Ensino. Pensamento Teórico.THE KNOWLEDGE OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS ABOUT FRACTION: implications for teachingAbstract: In this article we propose to present part of the results of a research that sought to investigate questions related to the knowledge of the teacher, to his learning process and to the organization of mathematics teaching. Thus, it was taken as a research question "how the organization of the teaching of the concept of rational number, in its fractional representation, from the contributions of Historical-Cultural Theory and, in particular, Teaching Guidance Activity, influences and is influenced by development of the theoretical thought of the teacher who teaches mathematics in the fourth and fifth year of elementary school? "  That is, how the knowledge and understanding that the teacher has about fraction impacts the way that teacher organizes his teaching. As a guiding principle of the research was used the didactic  with teachers of  the fourth and fifth years of elementary school. The results of this research reinforce that teacher learning can result from a constant mediated search for new actions that reflect new theoretical appropriations of the teacher in the articulation between theory and practice in the organization of mathematics teaching. In the teaching work, this transformation happens through the appropriation of the scientific knowledge of the concept and in the organization of teaching that happens to be objectified in new practices.Keywords: Historical-Cultural Theory. Fraction. Teaching learning. Teaching Activity. Theoretical Thought.EL CONOCIMIENTO DE PROFESORES DE LOS AÑOS INICIALES DE LA ENSEÑANZA FUNDAMENTAL SOBRE FRACCIÓN: implicaciones para la enseñanzaResumen: En este artículo proponemos presentar parte de los resultados de una investigación que buscó investigar cuestiones relacionadas con el conocimiento del profesor, su proceso de aprendizaje y la organización de la enseñanza de matemáticas.

The quantitative results were used to select participants for qualitative phase of the study through maximum variation strategy of purposive sampling. Quantitative phase identified female teachers perceived more effects of examination on their instructional practices. Moreover, teachers belonged to age group 42-48 experienced most of the effects of examination on their instructional practices as compared to teachers belonged to other age groups. Similarly teachers belonged to district 3 (Okara) experienced more effects of examination on their instructional practices as compared to teachers serving in other districts. The qualitative data indicated that instruction was driven by the examination. Teacher centred instructional strategies were dominant. Paper pattern defined the instruction and tests were extensively practiced in classes. Teachers used strategies for helping students to attempt MCQs. One of the objectives of this examination reform was to improve teaching and learning and in the light of this study it remains rhetoric.
