Inhibiting Factors

Abstract:This study aimed to determine the implementation of classroom management, and to find out the supporting and inhibiting factors in improving the students’ learning outcomes. This research used qualitative method which focused on interviewing the principal and teachers. The data were analyzed through classifying the data, coding and theme creation, then presenting the results. The finding of this study indicated that classroom management had impact on students’ learning outcomes. There were also some supporting factors, such as coordination and motivation from the school and parents who had big part in encouraging the improvement of the students’ learning outcomes. However, there were inhibiting factors, such as learning environment which was not conducive.Abstrak:Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan implementasi manajemen kelas, serta faktor pendukung dan penghambat dalam meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif yang berfokus pada wawancara kepala sekolah dan guru. Data dianalisis melalui pengklasifikasian data, pengkodean dan pembuatan tema, kemudian menyajikan hasilnya. Temuan dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa manajemen kelas berdampak pada hasil belajar siswa. Terdapat juga beberapa faktor pendukung, seperti koordinasi dan motivasi dari sekolah dan orang tua yang berperan besar dalam mendorong peningkatan hasil belajar siswa. Namun, ada beberapa faktor penghambat, seperti lingkungan belajar yang tidak kondusif.

Number Knowledge

The present study aims to examine inter-individual differences in adaptive number knowledge in secondary school students. Adaptive number knowledge is defined as a well-connected network of knowledge of numerical characteristics and arithmetic relations. Substantial and relevant qualitative differences in the strategies and expression of adaptive number knowledge have been found in primary school students still in the process of learning arithmetic. We present a study involving 879 seventh-grade students that examines the structure of individual differences in adaptive number knowledge with students who have completed one year of algebra instruction. Results of a latent profile analysis reveal a model that is similar than was previously found in primary school students. As well, arithmetic fluency and the development of arithmetic fluency are strong predictors of adaptive number knowledge latent profile membership. These results suggest that adaptive number knowledge may be characteristic of high-level performance extending into secondary school, even after formal instruction with arithmetic concludes.

Number Knowledge

AbstractRational number knowledge is a crucial feature of primary school mathematics that predicts students’ later mathematics achievement. Many students struggle with the transition from natural number to rational number reasoning, so novel pedagogical approaches to support the development of rational number knowledge are valuable to mathematics educators worldwide. Digital game-based learning environments may support a wide range of mathematics skills. NanoRoboMath, a digital game-based learning environment, was developed to enhance students’ conceptual and adaptive rational number knowledge. In this paper, we tested the effectiveness of a preliminary version of the game with fifth and sixth grade primary school students (N = 195) using a quasi-experimental design. A small positive effect of playing the NanoRoboMath game on students’ rational number conceptual knowledge was observed. Students’ overall game performance was related to learning outcomes concerning their adaptive rational number knowledge and understanding of rational number representations and operations.

Research Analysis

The purpose of the study is to determine the essence of the preparation of future primary school teachers to design the learning environment in the operation of the new Ukrainian school. The application of methods that helped to carry out theoretical research: analysis and synthesis, systematization of materials, historical and logical, comparative, systemic and structural, allowed to study the essence of the preparation of future primary school teachers to design the learning environment in the New Ukraine School. This study allowed us to determine the essence of the preparation of future primary school teachers as specialists of the new generation, to design the learning environment of primary school students. The preparation structure of future primary school teachers is determined to design the learning environment and the content of its main constructs is specified, namely: the motivational, cognitive, operational-active and emotional-volitional components.
