Improve learning achievement of students grade VIII D SMPN 1 Amuntai through Relating, Experiencing, Applying, Cooperating and Transferring (REACT) model. Application of the talking method in learning activities cause students weren’t active and it result to the low of students learning achievement. This condition needs a classroom action research to improve students learning achievement through Relating, Experiencing, Applying, Cooperating and Transferring (REACT). The aim of this research is describe way to improve students learning achievement through REACT model. The specific aims are describe: (1) lesson plan feasibility, (2) students learning achievement and (3) students activities. This classroom action research use Hopkins model that consist of 2 cycles. Data were collected by observation, test and documentation. Then data were analyzed by descriptive qualitative and descriptive quantitative. This research show that: (1) lesson plan feasibility in relating included good, experiencing included good, applying included good, cooperating included good and transferring included good; (2) students learning achievement were improve from 65,00% or didn’t completed classical achievement in cycle I to 77,27% in cycle II or completed classical achievement; and (3) students activity contain questioning, propose argument/answered teacher’s questions, listen teacher’s explain and discuss task severally included good. It can be concluded that learning achievement of students grade VIII D SMPN 1 Amuntai can improve though REACT model with link a new concept to something completely familiar to students, guide students discover concept through laboratory activity, help students answered application and analysis question on worksheet, guide students to discuss in group and guide students to use their knowledge in a new context and also make students active in learning activities.

This chapter explores the findings from an Action Research project that addressed the Professional Capability Framework (Scott & Wilson, 2002), and how aspects of this were embedded in an undergraduate Engineering (Software) degree. Longitudinal data identified the challenges both staff and students engaged with. The interventions that were developed to address these are described and discussed. The results of the project show that making soft skills attainment explicit as part of the learning objectives went a long way in assisting students to engage with the activities that exercised these skills.

The Uk

The UK's university sector is seeking to improve its participation in the knowledge economy and meet policy and financial imperatives. This paper reveals some of the opportunities and pitfalls in making that objective a reality in the context of a single university. The findings and organizational development resulting from an action research project undertaken in a small learning and teaching oriented university in the UK are outlined. The aim of the research was to facilitate an increased capacity for knowledge exchange and participation in enterprise activity. Action research was undertaken in a single organization and in collaboration with the university's academic workforce. The outcomes of an initial survey and a series of interviews were used to create a strategic proposal for developing knowledge exchange. The data revealed that a predominantly professionally-oriented academic staff was prepared to accept external engagement and was not averse to commercial outcomes for knowledge exchange. In contrast, the senior management was unwilling to establish systems and processes or enable organizational learning for knowledge exchange until a complete system restructure had been implemented; and this resulted in a very senior appointment (Pro Vice-Chancellor) being made, to lead external engagement.

Problems during the learning process at SMK Negeri 1 Kabanjahe are students are less attentive and lack understanding in understanding computer subject, especially building LAN networks. Computer Subject is considered one of the most difficult materials to learn, however multimedia major that they choose should use a computer. therefore, relies on the problem, this research aims to improve the students learning outcome, students’ activities during use schoology, and responses of students when using schoology as an elearning method. Type of this research is Classroom Action Research and the subject of this research is students class X Multimedia SMK Negeri 1 Kabanjahe with 26 students as participants. For collecting data this research use observations of student activities, evaluation tests and questionnaires to student. Result shown that students' learning outcomes improved, as shown from percentage students who completed KKM (minimum competence) in first cycle by 30.80% increased to 85% in the second cycle. the percentage of activity in the first cycle by 51.44% increased to 73.08% in the second cycle and the response of the learners in the poll gave a positive response the average percentage was 77.18% and the negative response percentage was 22.82%
