Score Normalization

Using the "Middle School Student Mathematics Learning Non-intellectual Questionnaire," a total of 1,400 middle school students in 11 districts and counties of Tianjin were surveyed. According to the data, using the raw score normalization method and the formula “T = 50+10×Z”, the middle school student mathematics learning non-intellectual population and its sub-dimensions norm table were established the corresponding grade evaluation standard was determined. The results of applied research were analyzed for class and individual application cases, and corresponding suggestions were made based on the analysis results.

The purpose of this research is to improve informative and narrative writing skills of middle school students. The study was designed with action research. The research group is middle school students. Data collection techniques were student diary, semi-structured interview form, semi-structured observation form and documents that consist of comics produced by the students. Descriptive analysis and content analysis techniques were used together in the analysis. It has been determined that the writing process has not attracted students; however, comic books have been shown to attract students It has also been found that the process of semantic interpretation of the text is facilitated. It has been determined that most spelling and punctuation mistakes were made in the writing process. It is thought that the reasons for these mistakes are the habits of out-of-school life. It has been determined that writing processes related to multimodal texts have a positive effect on students’ interest and sense of responsibility.Keywords: Comic book, graphic novel, informative writing, middle school student, narrative writing.*

Community Science

Studies of tickborne illness have benefited from interactions between scientists and community members. Most participants in community science projects are well-educated adults, but there are anticipated benefits from engaging younger students in research. We evaluated whether an outreach experience for rural middle-school students promoted student interest in science and resulted in the generation of samples that could be used for tick testing to assess disease risk. Middle-school students from 78 Wisconsin communities developed interdisciplinary hypotheses about the spread of Lyme disease, identified ticks, and extracted DNA from ticks to assess the prevalence of pathogens Borrelia burgdorferi, Anaplasma phagocytophillium, and Babesia microti. As a result of this intervention, students were able to successfully complete the research protocol and explain the rationale for completing the experiment. Of student participants, 84.7% reported no difficulty completing the protocol, 66% of the student samples gave reliable PCR results, and 76% of students reported interest in participating in similar experiments. Our study shows that tick outreach programs that incorporate community-based science promote knowledge about Lyme disease, facilitate engagement between students and scientists, and generate samples that can be successfully utilized for pathogen testing.

Student Work

The purpose of this study is to describe how analyzing student work can be used to help undergraduates reflect on the effectiveness of their service-learning experiences. The service-learning collaboration between a university and middle school was designed to increase undergraduates’ and middle school students’ knowledge of solar energy. Three undergraduates enrolled in a service-learning course that covered basic solar energy concepts and formative assessment instructional strategies. The focal point of the course was the implementation of several activities in a middle school classroom that addressed middle school students’ misconceptions about solar energy, such as the amount of solar energy production at low temperatures or on a cloudy day. Data from this study includes student work during a small-group activity on solar cells. Findings suggest that undergraduates can analyze student work and use this information to better understand how their efforts can influence middle school student learning of solar energy.

This article presents findings from a pilot study that examined the effect of a school counselor-led intervention, using the “Skill-Builders” curriculum, on middle-school students’ attitudes toward mathematics learning. Results from the current study demonstrated that students who received the Skill-Builders curriculum had significantly higher posttest scores on a measure of attitudes toward mathematics learning, including self-confidence, value, enjoyment, and motivation. Females in the Skill-Builders group improved significantly more than their male classmates. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah ada pengaruh penggunaan alat peraga berbahan bekas terhadap hasil belajar matematika siswa SMP. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian kuantitatif. Sampel dalam penelitian adalah siswa kelas VIIID SMP Negeri 12 Kupang. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan program SPSS versi 22. Sebelum pengujian hipotesis, dilakukan uji prasyarat yaitu uji normalitas untuk data pretest dan posttest. Dari hasil analisis data pretest dan data posttest  diperoleh bahwa data tersebut memenuhi kriteria pengujian maka data pretest  dan data posttest berdistribusi normal. Selanjutnya pengujian hipotesis menggunakan paired sample test, setelah data dianalisis diperoleh nilai Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) = 0,000 < 0,05 dan thitung = 17,697 > 2, 080 = ttabel maka Ho ditolak dan Ha diterima, artinya ada pengaruh yang signifikan pada penggunaan alat peraga berbahan bekas terhadap hasil belajar matematika siswa kelas VIII SMP Negeri 12 Kupang. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa alat peraga berbahan bekas berpengaruh terhadap hasil belajar matematika.
