Abstract Textbook has a significant impact on students’ mathematical ability. This research aims to analyse algebraic questions in Chinese and Indonesian junior high school textbooks. This research was done at Guangxi Normal University, China from November to December 2020. The textbook analysis was done using a quantitative method on three aspects, which were presentation, context, and type of answer. Other aspects considered were proportional of algebra chapter in the textbook and how questions were presented. Chinese textbooks gave more contextual questions but there were a lot more of open-ended questions in the Indonesian textbook. From this research, we can conclude that both Indonesian and Chinese textbooks have their own advantages that can be adopted in both countries. Future research can talk about how class activity and teacher teaching method can affect students’ mathematical ability on algebra.

Textbooks are one of the primary sources of input in EFL classrooms (Northbrook & Conklin, 2018). Textbooks cannot, however, suit the needs of every teacher or student who uses them (McGrath, 2002). As such, the principled evaluation of prospective textbooks becomes an important function in EFL contexts. In this small-scale study, three Japanese junior high school textbooks are evaluated to assess the extent to which they meet the requirements set by MEXT and the teachers who use them. Littlejohn’s (2011) textbook analysis framework is employed to conduct an in-depth analysis of the textbooks. The results reveal that the junior high school textbooks are surprisingly homogenous in nature, however, they are well suited to the context for which they are intended and broadly satisfy the requirements of policy makers and teachers. The ensuing discussion identifies a number of strengths and weaknesses that can broadly be applied to all three textbooks. 教科書はEFL教育現場において、インプットの最も主要なもののひとつである(Northbrook & Conklin, 2018)。 しかしながら、教科書は使用者である教師や生徒のニーズをすべて満たしているわけではない (McGrath, 2002)。それ故に、使用される教科書を一定の観点で評価することは、EFL教育においてとても重要である。本論は、日本の中学校教科書が、文部科学省の設定する目標や使用者である教師のニーズにどの程度対応しているかを評価することを目的としている。Littlejohn (2011) による教科書分析の手法を用いて、異なる三社の教科書を詳細に分析した。結果として、当該の教科書は驚くほど同質でありながらも、中学校の英語教育の状況によく適合しており、また文部科学省と教師双方の要求に幅広く対応していることが明らかになった。さらに、先に分析した三つの教科書に共通する長所と短所についても論じる。

Abstract The study aims to evaluate of english learning at the Junior High School 3, Samaturu Kolaka. The method used is evaluative through the flow of the gap model (discrepancy evaluation model). Data collection through interviews, document tracing, and observation. Key Informant is the principal, teacher, and student. The results showed that: (1). The ten indicators of the principles in the preparation of lesson plan is only a contemporary-oriented indicator that is not contained in the lesson plan. This is because lesson plan is based on teaching materials and teaching materials. In addition, the lesson plan does not promote social, spiritual attitudes and only focus on English language teaching materials. Because of social and spiritual attitudes are hidden curriculum and can be applied to all subjects. Even the development of character is a program of Junior High School 3, Samaturu Kolaka. (2). All step-by-step indicators in lesson plan preparation are already loaded inside the lesson plan. But there is still an unprecedented indicator such as determining a monotonous learning strategy and not self-evaluation for the teacher to improve the strategy, and its teaching method. (3). Several indicators of lesson plan implementation have been carried out well in the classroom even though it is not maximized. This is due to preliminary activities, the teacher does not explain the importance of the material to be studied and competencies that students must master. The conclusion is related to the principles, application of steps and implementation of lesson plan in the classroom, although not maximized, but has been referring to Permendikbud no. 103 year 2014 about learning on primary education and secondary education.   Keywords: Evaluation, Lesson Plan, English Learning

Discuss the method and effect of problem-based teaching method (PBL) in the teaching of physics experiment in junior high school. Method: A total of 92 students in two junior high school classes were selected, and one of them was randomly set as the experimental group (46 students) and the other one was the control group (456 students). The experimental group added PBL teaching on the basis of traditional teaching methods. Methods, the control group was taught according to the traditional teaching method only, and finally the teaching effect of the two groups was compared. Results: The physics performance of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the traditional teaching group (P<0.05). The students in the experimental group were better than traditional teaching in subjective evaluations such as learning initiative, learning interest, thinking ability training, practical ability, and innovation ability. Conclusion: The PBL teaching model is more adapted to the development of the times, and the effect is better than traditional teaching. It can combine the learning and practical skills of students, and the comprehensive ability can be greatly improved.
