English has been taught at elementary schools as one of the local content subjects. It is necessary to study English from an early age in order to achieve good mastery in it. To master English means to master the four skills in it and also the language aspects, including vocabulary. As one of the language aspects, vocabulary plays an important role in language learning. This study reports on pupils’ proficiency in mastering English vocabulary after three years of studying in elementary school. The writer chose 55 grade-four pupils of SD Methodist Banda Aceh as a sample for this study. They were given a vocabulary test related to reading and writing skills consisting of 26 items. The test was to be done in 20 minutes. After calculating the data, it was found that the mean score (x) of the pupils was 69.5, with the highest score at 92.3 and the lowest score at 26.9. More than 50% of the pupils could answer the questions correctly in less than 20 minutes. Only 4 out of the 55 pupils answered the questions less than 50% correctly and no one answered 100% correct. According to these results, this study showed that the pupils achieved good proficiency in vocabulary.

Besides the problems, related to the Teaching of Information Technologies at an early age, there is often expressed one point of view about the problem: Should we use computer in junior and elementary schools? We think, that computer could be used with kids of mentioned ages, but only by the specific methods of teaching, taking into consideration their health care and protection. We have indicated how to explain to the kids the ideas of “famous people” on the plain language and various aspects of computer teaching. We have also discussed the essential three reasons for the integrated course of informatics in junior and elementary schools. Finely, we underlined the fact, that during the teaching of elements of Information Technologies in aforementioned children, the circumstances, teaching and upbringing methods may promote and accelerate the logical development of mentality with the help of computer, or vice versa, hinder this process with prolonged negative results.

The Impact

One who questions a three- or fouryear- old is often surprised at the child's understanding and knowledge of mathematical concepts. Many researchers, among them Davis (1962, p. 57) and Piaget (1953), have concluded that children at an early age, given the proper motivation, references, and catalysts, can grasp mathematical concepts normally delayed until later in their education. In recognition of this finding, and of the impact of television on a child's accumulated knowledge upon entrance into today's elementary schools, teachers must be better prepared. They face a challenge dreamed about but seldom approached before the corning of our present generation of preschoolers.

Modern Standard

Students’ poor linguistic proficiency in using Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) among Saudi students at elementary schools is attributed to the diglossia, whereas the low variety (LV) is totally different from the MSA. The paper examines the extent of the teachers’ use of low variety and the reasons behind it. Also, the study examines the impact of LV use of Arabic on students’ linguistic proficiency at the elementary stage. The study concentrates on the early schooling years (pre-school and kindergarten periods) in order to emphasize the important role of parents and teachers who still believe that exposing their children to MSA is not important and; thus, has no future implications on students’ linguistic proficiency. In addition, the study aims to introduce the term of diglossia and highlight such issue supported by a review of the most relevant literature. The researcher administered a questionnaire on a sample consisting of (30) teachers, randomly selected, from (3) elementary schools. The data was collected from the sample’s population, then processed and analyzed by the SPSS; consequently, the results of the questionnaire were interpreted accordingly. The data analysis shows that the teachers at elementary schools always use the LV in teaching and they rarely use MSA during explaining the lessons. It also maintains that the learners’ poor linguistic proficiency lies the lack of repeated MSA use in classroom instructions. Furthermore, the paper presents the importance of exposing the children to MSA from an early age.

This study aims to improve nationalist character education for students, especially in grade VI elementary schools. This type of research is qualitative research, which focuses on the implementation of naationalist character education in grade VI SD. Nationalist character education for elementary school children, especially in grade VI, is a process of fertilizing from an early age for them. In nationalist character education there are civic education subjects that teach the values contained in Pancasila and teach and educate students to become individuals who have habits of national character in their daily lives. Seeing the current condition of children, students have decreased in terms of implementing national character in their lives. Therefore, schools through civic education are expected to be able to train and educate students so that students have a nationalist attitude in their lives. A nationalist attitude is an understanding attitude that has cultural and regional harmony. They also have the same ideals and goals so that they feel the desire to defend their country, both from internal and external threats.

Many parents have the mentality that they want their children to study well and outperform their peers, therfore, they have a lot of expectations and investments in their children from an early age. The children have a busy childhood with a tight schedule of extra classes, from giftedness to English, etc. Parents are free to show off to friends and relatives that they know a lot and are wise before their age. This matter has become not only an argumentation between parents but also an unsolvable problem for the Ministry of Education and Training of Vietnam. Therefore, it is a serious issue to determine how much preparation is enough for children to start elementary schools. Two main opinions have been given out: the first opinion points out that children need to study before starting elementary schools while the second opinion is contrary to the first one. The paper is done by searching, collecting and summarizing the information on magazines, newspapers and the internet which is related to the topic and analyzing the statistics collected from students currently studying at some schools in two weeks.
