The purpose of this study was to describe Poetry Writing Skills with the Sentence Model Concept of Class V Students of SDN 23 Kota Payakumbuh in terms of physical elements and inner elements of poetry. This type of research is quantitative research with descriptive methods. The population in this study were grade V students of SDN 23 Payakumbuh City, amounting to 22 students. In collecting data, researchers used performance testing techniques. While in analyzing the steps of the data taken by calculating the raw score the correct answer, the score changes to a value. Data analysis starts from the analysis of each aspect. The procedure for analyzing each aspect, the first to provide an assessment of student work seen from the physical elements and inner elements of poetry. Second, the conversion of scores into values using a percentage formula. Looking for the average value of the classification test results using a scale of 10. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the average results of poetry writing skills using the Concept Sentence concept of class V SDN 23 Kota Payakumbuh model are 87 with very good qualifications, in terms of physical elements 86.25 with excellent qualifications, from the inner element is 87.5 with very good qualifications. So, the fifth grade students of SDN 23 Kota Payakumbuh were good at writing poetry using the Concept Sentence model.Keywords: writing, poetry, and model concept sentence

AbstractThe use of portfolios is deeply embedded in practice within Design education. However, as trends change and technology improves, tensions often arise in the interpretation and presentation of the portfolio activity. Additionally, as more and more digital artefacts are produced by design students, the question arises as to whether the traditional portfolio could be accompanied or replaced by an eportfolio, which could present students’ digital artefacts in a structured fashion. This research investigates how students and faculty in the Design Department of one higher education institution might come together to examine and re-model practices in the context of the design portfolio activity. The study uses Cultural Historical Activity Theory with a Change Laboratory methodology and expansive learning to build transformative agency amongst those involved in the design portfolio activity, with a view to reaching consensus of what a future model of the design eportfolio might look like. Findings indicate that the methodology was successful in collaboratively examining work practices and exposing tensions relating to the current portfolio activity. A tentative future model of a design eportfolio was presented to the group, using institute graduate attributes to provide structure. While the lack of a designer’s ‘personality’ when using a generic eportfolio tool was pointed out, it was agreed that having student work available and accessible in a structured digital format was a requirement for today’s design graduate. Finally, this research approach is considered useful for educational research projects that require collaborative input from various stakeholders into changes in work practices.

Concept mapping was developed as a method of displaying and organizing hierarchical knowledge structures. Using the new, multidimensional presentation software Prezi, we have developed a new teaching technique designed to engage higher-level skills in the cognitive domain. This tool, synthesis mapping, is a natural evolution of concept mapping, which utilizes embedding to layer information within concepts. Prezi’s zooming user interface lets the author of the presentation use both depth as well as distance to show connections between data, ideas, and concepts. Students in the class Biology of Cancer created synthesis maps to illustrate their knowledge of tumorigenesis. Students used multiple organizational schemes to build their maps. We present an analysis of student work, placing special emphasis on organization within student maps and how the organization of knowledge structures in student maps can reveal strengths and weaknesses in student understanding or instruction. We also provide a discussion of best practices for instructors who would like to implement synthesis mapping in their classrooms.
