Interpretive Framework

An attempt is made to provide an interpretive framework for the findings of recent research on teaching at the primary-school level. A model of teaching/learning processes is outlined prior to an investigation of the empirical linkages between the elements of the model. Following this, the implications of the model for teaching skills are explored.

The activity-based teaching method is a technique adopted by a teacher to emphasize his/her method of teaching through activity. The key purpose of this study was to explore the teachers' perceptions about the implementation of activity-based teaching at the primary school level in Punjab, Pakistan. This study was quantitative and descriptive in nature. The sample consisted of 800 teachers from 200 schools through a multi-stage random sampling technique. The questionnaire was used on a five-point Likert scale for data collection. Inferential statistical analysis techniques such as frequency, percentage, mean scores, standard deviation and independentsample t-test were used for data analysis. The results of the study illustrated that activity-based teaching had a positive effect on students' achievement. It is concluded that female teachers were more agreed about the implementation of teaching-learning strategies in activitybased teaching as compared to male teachers. It was recommended that workshops and seminars should be organized for the training and re-training of teachers on using activity-based teaching methods in primary classes.

Understanding an English-medium science textbook is possibly challenging for some students. It is, for example, due to the language used. To deal with this issue, construing the use of the other mode, such as visual images, along with the verbal text is regarded useful. Thereby, the construal of multimodality in an English-medium science textbook becomes crucial. Albeit a myriad of inspections on multimodality exists, but to the best of the writer’s knowledge, such investigation with respect to an English-medium science textbook, particularly at a primary school level, was found to be limited. Therefore, this study aimed to scrutinize the verbal text and visual image presented in a science textbook used for a primary school level which is presented in English. To that end, a descriptive research design was employed. In this regard, a systemic functional multimodal discourse analysis (SF-MDA) within the trinocular metafunctions encompassing ideational, interpersonal, and textual metafunctions was utilized. The systemic functional linguistics theory, the grammar of visual design, intersemiotic complementarity, and logico-semantics were the frameworks employed to analyze the artefact, the English-medium science textbook. The findings revealed that the visual image and verbal text interact with one another within the three metafunctions. Given the interaction between the two modes, the present study suggests that both teachers and students are required to take into considerations and be aware of the potential or roles of images along with the verbal text, i.e. the images are not merely accessories, but instead, these are able to assist the comprehension of the science materials learned.

The present paper poses essential questions: What knowledge should students attain and what methods should be applied? The authors started up from cognitivistic view of cognition related to: (a) organizing knowledge of science in the form of generalized ideas or major concepts that can be reduced to a large number of information items, and (b) manner of building up students? knowledge into meaningful units as matrices of interrelated concepts. Attention is directed to difficulties emerging in developing cognitive structures related to complex contents of science and methods of concept learning in the teaching process. The results of investigations show that students? mastery of concepts is poor, and the reasons are to be found in the abstract character of contents themselves, lack of ability to interrelate contents within one discipline and between cognate ones, and the absence of establishing relationships between scientific concepts in cognitive structure. An efficient method of presenting scientific concepts was given and explained at three levels, such as macro, micro and symbolic. A model was suggested as a possible method for netting concepts in chemistry at primary school level. Practical recommendations were given to teachers how to assess students? cognitive structure and how to apply appropriate methods.

The purpose of this research study was to review the expected role and responsibilities to be played by headteachers and done in reality at the primary school level in District Shaheed Benazirabad. It has been observed that headteachers in public schools at the primary level are not performing as per the need of the time. For the purpose, a tailor-made questionnaire was distributed among randomly selected headteachers. The quantitative research approach was used to solve the query. The results indicate the lenient approach of headteachers towards their duties.

Teaching Learning

One of the actions for prospective educators and educators at the elementary school level when going to carry out teaching learning activities is to create a Rencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran (RPP). Making and developing RPP is a pedagogical competence that must be mastered by teachers. Pedagogic competence is a competency that absolutely needs to be mastered by educators. The purpose of this research is to analyze the pedagogical ability of prospective primary school educators in making a plan for the implementation of character-grade learning. The method used in this study is with a qualitative descriptive approach with the type of field research or field study. Qualitative research is defined as a research procedure that produces descriptive data in the form of written words. The novelty of this research is at the same time analyzing the making of RPP when students learn from home due to the Covid-19 virus pandemic. The results of this research are the average pedagogical ability of prospective primary school educators in terms of developing a lesson plan (RPP) in accordance with Permendiknas No. 22 of 2016 contains good character values. However, prospective educators when developing components of learning objectives and assessment of learning outcomes are still inaccurate. Abstrak Salah satu tindakan awal bagi calon pendidik dan pendidik jenjang sekolah dasar pada saat akan melaksanakan kegiatan belajar mengajar adalah yakni membuat Rencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran (RPP). Mengembangkan serta membuat RPP merupakan salah satu dari kompetensi pedagogik yang harus di kuasai oleh pendidik. Kompetensi pedagogik adalah kompetensi yang mutlak perlu dikuasai pendidik. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis kemampuan pedagogik calon pendidik tingkat sekolah dasar dalam membuat rencana pelaksanaan pembelajaran bermuatan nilai karakter. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah dengan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian field research atau studi lapangan. Penelitian kualititatif dimaknai sebagai prosedur penelitian yang menghasilkan data deskriptif berupa kata-kata tertulis. Kebaruan dari penelitian ini adalah sekaligus menganalisis pembuatan RPP pada masa peserta didik belajar dari rumah akibat pandemi virus Covid-19. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah rata-rata kemampuan pedagogik calon pendidik tingkat sekolah dasar dalam hal mengembangkan rencana pelaksanaan pembelajaran (RPP) sesuai dengan Permendiknas No. 22 tahun 2016  bermuatan nilai karakter sudah baik. Akan tetapi calon pendidik pada saat mengembangkan komponen tujuan pembelajaran dan penilaian hasil belajar masih ada yang kurang tepat. Kata Kunci: Pedagogik, Rencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran, Nilai Karakter
