The purpose of the research was to replicate commonality analysis for two measures: critical content monitoring and sentence verification technique. Participants were 967 fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-grade students across seven public primary schools in a southeastern U.S. district. The predictor variables were administered as benchmarks 3 times in an academic year. Predictor scores were compared with science content test and reading comprehension scores from the Stanford Achievement Test–Tenth Edition abbreviated online form and a statewide accountability test. Commonality analysis results indicated that scores from both critical content monitoring and sentence verification technique added unique variance to explanatory models, replicating previous findings. In most cases, critical content monitoring scores provided the greatest percentage of unique and common variance to model explanations.

This research aims to identify the difficulties of science learning among sixth grade students as determined and estimated by science teachers and students. To achieve the aims of this research, the researcher depends on the analysis descriptive approach. It identifies the percentages of the difficulty aspects included in questionnaires. For this purpose, the researcher designed two templates of questionnaires. First questionnaire consists of 20 items regarding the difficulties of science learning from students' perspective. Second questionnaire consists of 22 items regarding impediments of science learning from teachers' perspective. The validity and reliability of questionnaires were established. A random sample of 24 science teachers and 295 sixth grade students was used in Mubarak Al-kabeer area. The study was conducted in the second semester of the academic year 2018-2019.The findings reveal that there are no significant differences in the responses of students in different schools about the difficulties of science learning listed in the questionnaires such as the required topics quantity that forms a common difficulty for the student and the teacher in the same time , and some topics that needs longer time more than the given time in the lesson plans to explain and simplify them for the students. In light of the findings of the research were presented a number of recommendations and proposals, including: the need for attention to quantity and quality of academic content, where suitable for students in the sixth grade level and the specificity of the stage they are going through, the need to use teaching methods, activities and teaching aids, and to train in-service teachers on modern trends in science education.

The main purpose of this study was to develop a reliable and valid measurement tool to assess the project in primary school mathematics course. Totally 839 fifth and sixth grade students participated to the study from different public primary schools which are located in Adana district. While developing the scale, the reliability; content validity; construct validity tests and, correlation analysis were all carried out respectively. In line with these analyses, it has been derived a 18 item scale including "Thinking Skill", "The Impact of the Procedure on Individual" and "The Environmental Support for Learning Mathematics" sub factors. Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficients of these three sub factors that explain 52,04 % of the total variance were calculated .89, .90 and .84 respectively. Finally, considering the results of the analyses, It can be said that the Project Evaluation Scale is a reliable and valid tool that can be applied in 5th and 6th mathematics courses.

<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>The purpose of this research is to investigate the effects of computer-based instructional materials used in social study courses of sixth grade attention levels via an electroencephalography device. In this study, a time series design was employed. The study group was composed 21 volunteer students who were allowed sixth grade in a public secondary school located in the Central District of Uşak province during the 2013-2014 academic year. NeuroSky's MindWave - EEG device was used as data collection tool in the study. "PYTHON" and "MATLAB" programs were used for the analysis of the obtained data. As a result of the research, prezi presentation, digital graphics, digital map, documentary and animation were found to increase the attention level of the students. Apart from the purpose of the research, the levels of attention dropped when the questions were asked students. According to the printed maps, digital maps increase students' attention and the hand movements of the teacher in the class is also effective in the attention levels of the students.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Öz</strong></p><p>Bu araştırmanın amacı, sosyal bilgiler dersinde kullanılan bilgisayar temelli materyallerin 6. sınıf öğrencilerinin dikkat düzeylerine etkisinin tespit edilmesidir.

In general, Indonesian lessons in the eyes of easy and considered trivial by students and even teachers themselves. This view has many implications for the less treatment of Indonesian subjects, making them less profitable for the development of the learning process and causing problems. This condition has an impact on the low student's daily test score, with an average of 55 so as not to achieve the completeness of learning (KKM) that has been implemented school 75. Therefore required a research action that aims to improve the learning process and improve learning outcomes by using Discussion methods. The formulation of the research are: "Whether the application of Discussion method can improve the learning outcomes of Indonesian students of Class VI SDN. 03 Perawang Barat in academic year 2014/2015?”. Subjek were students of class VI SDN. 03 PerawangBarat which amounted to 30 students. This action study was conducted in 2 cycles, each cycle consisting of 2 meetings. The research procedure consists of planning, execution, observation and reflection with research instrument in the form of learning device that is RPP, LKS, obsevation sheet of teacher and student. In the first cycle of student learning achievement reaches KKM as many as 19 students (63,27%). And on the second cycle student learning outcomes increased to 29 students (96.42%). From the results of this study can be concluded that the application of discussion methods can improve the learning outcomes of Indonesian students of Class VI SDN. 03 Perawang Barat in academic  year 2014/2015.
