There is a tendency in the education field today to return to the idea that children will learn better if the environment is created naturally. Learning will be more meaningful if children "experience" themselves what they are learning, not 'knowing' it. Target-oriented learning of material mastery proves to be successful in short-term 'remembering' competitions, but fails to equip children to solve problems in long-term life. The problems that would to be studied in this study are: (a) how is the improvement of Social Science learning outcomes by applying the Make A-Match Model to it? (b) how does the Make A-Match Model apply towards the learning motivation? The objectives of this study are: (a) want to know the improvement in Social Science learning achievement after the implemetation of the Make A-Match Model. (b) want to know the effect of Make A-Match Model towards students’ motivation of the subject after it is applied. This research is used two rounds of action research. In each round consists of four stages, namely: design, activity and observation, reflection and revision. The target of this research is the fourth grade students of Mongodow. The data obtained in the form of formative test results, observation sheets of teaching and learning activities. From the results of analysts obtained student achievement has increased from cycle I to cycle II namely, cycle I (65%), cycle II (83%). The conclusion of this research is the Make A-Match Model of Social Science learning could positively influence the motivation of learning of central students, and this learning model could be used as an alternative to Social Science learning.

Basic education aims to provide basic skills to learners to develop their lives as individuals, community members, citizens and members of the human race and prepare learners to follow the next education. Primary education is organized to develop skills attitudes and provide the basic knowledge and skills necessary to live in communities and prepare learners who are eligible for secondary education (UU Sisdiknas No. 20 Year 2003 article 13). In teaching and learning activities, a teacher would have hope of desire for learners can get the maximum value possible, in accordance with the learning objectives created or desired but what can be in word, reality. For special mathematics subjects, field findings such as EBTANAS, summative test results and daily test scores and report scores indicate that the learners' learning outcomes are still below the numbers that may be unsatisfactory in both low and class high. From some study results and opinions of experts, the low mathematics learning outcomes of students is not because they are not able to perform calculations, but because they do not understand the problems contained in the problem. Hudoyo (in Laily Hasbullah: 2000: 1) states that questions related to numbers are not so difficult for learners, but the problems that use sentences are very difficult for learners who have less or less ability.

Prediction of students 'understanding of the subject is important to know the extent to which the students' understanding of the subjects presented by educators when teaching and learning activities and to determine the ability of educators in delivering subjects. Artificial Neural Network to predict the level of students' understanding of subjects using backpropagation learning algorithm uses several variables: Knowledge, skills / abilities, assessment and workload and guidance and counseling. Backpropagation learning algorithm is applied to train eight indicators to predict the level of students' understanding of the subjects. The test results obtained by the student's understanding level prediction accuracy rate of 90% with a 6-5-1 architecture.

Este artigo é o resultado de uma pesquisa realizada no âmbito da disciplina Didática da Matemática II ao longo do primeiro semestre de 2016, quando na época, discutíamos o tema Avaliação. Nesta pesquisa foi enviado um questionário via Google formulários a 134 professores de diversas áreas desde o ensino básico ao ensino superior e as respostas foram inseridas no software CHIC com o objetivo de analisarmos questões relativas à similaridade. Como resultado observamos que quanto maior era o grau de interação e de autonomia dos alunos, melhores eram os resultados obtidos, e, além disso, deixamos para futuros trabalhos a análise coesitiva e implicativa, pois, acreditamos que as três análises poderiam contribuir significativamente para a compreensão da concepção de avaliação dos professores.This article is the result of a research carried out within the scope of Didactics of Mathematics II during the first semester of 2016, when, at the time, we discussed the theme Evaluation. In this research a questionnaire was sent via Google forms to 134 teachers from different areas from basic education to higher education and the answers were inserted in the CHIC software in order to analyze questions related to similarity. As a result, we observed that the greater the degree of interaction and autonomy of the students, the better the results were obtained, and, in addition, we leave for future works the cohesive and implied analysis, because we believe that the three analyzes could contribute significantly to the comprehension of teacher evaluation conception.
