The organizational world has long recognized action learning (AL) as an invaluable tool for managerial development. However, AL’s popularity among organizations did not translate into its adoption by business schools. A lack of evidence on what competencies AL fosters in students and whether these competencies transfer to practice has limited its wider acceptance. We address this issue by examining the learning outcomes of an undergraduate business program that has been using AL as a central didactical feature for the past 10 years. Based on a qualitative cross-sectional study following five alumni cohorts, results show that AL fosters the development of knowledge (theoretical and practical), skills (communication and collaboration), and attitudes (self-knowledge and self-efficacy); competencies graduates transferred to practice years after completing the program. Although management education has been continually criticized for its inability to provide undergraduates with the competencies necessary for practice, our study shows that AL contributes to narrowing this relevance gap. It also expands our understanding of the effectiveness and impact of AL beyond executive training to include undergraduate education, thus informing and inviting educators to consider AL as an alternative to expand their teaching practices.

This study aims to determine the Activity and Enhancement of student learning outcomes in economic learning using the Lesing Start With A Question (LSQ) method. The subjects in this study were all participants of the X-11 class of SMA 3 Palangka Raya, which numbered 40 people, where data collection used observation and test sheets. The results of the study show that the activities and learning outcomes of students appear to be more active and increasingly higher by using the Learning Start With A Question (LSQ) Method on Economics subjects. It was proven that the pre-action learning results obtained an average value of 62.88 including in the criteria not achieved, then in the first cycle it increased, with an average value of 78.5 which was included in the category not achieved with classical completeness of 52.5% and referred to in the category achieved. Cycle II with an average value of 91 referred to in the category has been achieved and classical completeness obtained 87.5% or 35 students participating in studying economics with statement material based on the content of the text.

athematics is a very difficult subject to learn, that is not interesting compared to other subjects, and some of students like it, this is proven by the learning outcomes obtained by students is always low.To change the view is needed a way that can make students interested to learn math. Learning is a process that makes a person experience a change of behavior both in the form of knowledge and attitudes as a result of experience gained, thus the person learning is a person who experienced their own learning process.Mathematics learning should be packaged in a fun form and actively involve all students, so that students gain their own knowledge of what they must possess. This study aims to minimize students' learning difficulties in the field of mathematics studies, the activities are carried out in the learning process, by maximizing student activeness, teachers only as facilitators and motivators.In constructivist learning students learn by experiencing their own and build their own knowledge of experience experienced, and ultimately meaningful learning, if learning is meaningful, students' learning difficulties are resolved. This research was conducted in 3 cycles, each cycle consist of Planning, Action, Observation, Reflection.While the learning approach in this research using constructivist approach through Student Activity Sheet (LKS) that researchers make in a structured so that students can build their own knowledge by way of completing LKS in groups. The data in this study were obtained by test scores, observations and questionnaires, where the function of the data that has been obtained as follows: (1) Value test to determine the success of student learning to understand the material being taught.(2) Observation to determine the activity of students in learning, and a questionnaire to determine the students' response to learning with a constructivist approach. Based on the observation result indicated by the acquisition value, the average yield is less;the average value only reached 5.74%.The highest percentage of five is 33.33% of the number of students.From the data analysis, the average value and observation result that can be interpreted as follows: the average value of pre test is 5.03 and the average value of post test is 6, 92. This average yield has not reached 7.5 in line with complete learning.This progress can also be seen from the teacher's average performance.In the first action learning gets an average of 3.3 with a maximum score of five.In the second action the average score rose to 3.7.This is an increase of 0.4.From the average data the value can be interpreted as follows;an increase in the result of the average value of pre test results and the average post test with a new average indicates 7.4. This level of mastery has not reached 7.5 in accordance with the principle of complete learning but has shown success with an increase in the average result of the first action 6.92 and the second action 7.19.This is an increase of 0.27. Using the Viewer Tool Othello in class V SDN No.08 KotoBerapak Kecamatan Bayang, Kabupaten Pesisir Selatan, in the first half proved to be an effective and efficient media in Teaching and Learning.This is evidenced by the increase in student learning outcomes from the first view to the third view. The learning outcomes achieved from the first to the third learning acts show an increase in the average score, indicating the success of mathematics learning with visual aids. In the final post test the average score of learners in the subject area reaches 7.79. It shows a high level of mastery and reaches the level of mastery learning (master learning).

This research is motivated by the lack of IPS learning outcomes student class VI SDN 024 Tarai Bangun Kabupaten Kampar. This study aims to determine the increase IPS learning outcomes student class VI SDN 024 Tarai Bangun Kabupaten Kampar. Application of learning strategies completely wrong serial held for 1 month. The subjects were grade VI SDN 024 Tarai Bangun Kabupaten Kampar by the number of students as many as 46 people. Form of research is classroom action research. The research instrument consists of instruments and instrument performance data collection activity observation sheet form teacher and student activity. Based on the research, the conclusion of the current study is based on the results of student learning in social studies, the prior action learning outcomes of students classified as not yet complete or has not been successful, with classical completeness students who completed was 37%, or only 17, after the applied strategy cooperative learning really one chain students who completed the first cycle increased compared to prior to the action, but the first cycle also can not be said to be successful, because the classical completeness students who completed was 63%, or 29 students who completed, the second cycle student learning outcomes increased with classical completeness 87%, which means that research can be said to be successful.
