Productive Group Work in Middle and High School Classrooms

This chapter presents a study that investigated characteristics of the learning environment predicting for student engagement in public high school classrooms. Students in seven high school classrooms in five different subject areas were observed and videoed in order to predict their engagement as measured by the experience sampling method (ESM).

In mathematics education, teachers can use several reasoning methods to find solutions such as inductive, deductive and analogy. This study was intended to guide students to find solutions to problems of radical inequalities through analogical reasoning. The experiment was conducted on 36 grade 10 students at a high school in Can Tho city of Vietnam. The instrument used was a problem of radical inequalities. A three-phase teaching process had been organized with this class comprising individual work phase, group work phase and institutionalization phase. The data collected included student worksheets and was qualitatively analyzed. As a result, many students discovered how to solve the above inequality by using the analogy, and they had a considerable improvement in their problem-solving skills. Additionally, a few ideas were discussed about the use of analogy in mathematics education. Article visualizations:<img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0769/a.php" alt="Hit counter" />

Teaching Learning

Knowing the g-value of acceleration of gravity is of paramount importance in various analyzes, and there are several ways of obtaining it experimentally. Here, searching for resources that are easy to apply in high school classrooms, the authors opted for the observation of a simple pendulum, performing a series of measurements of the pendulum period and applying them to the equations (appropriately manipulated for this experiment) of this oscillatory movement. The experiment was carried out in four steps: one with a mass of 10 grams and three with a mass of 20 grams; two with ten swings, one with fifteen and one with twenty. As a result, four values of local acceleration were estimated,which were compared, using the theory of errors, with the value made available in the literature. With these data, the feasibility of using this device in the teaching-learning process was verified, given its ease of handling and assembly, its low cost and its negligible error with the value of the literature.

At least there are three main issues that underlie the reluctance of students to learn better. (1) learning technique problem that does not grow student's motivation, (2), lecturer's existence is not as a facilitator who teaches students, private auctions that teach or patronize, (3) delivery of instruction messages with less interactive and attractive media. By examining something that is in the field, there appears to be a discrepancy between learning by the method of learning it uses. Joyful Learning Scenario is usually done by lecturers so far only aspects of mastery of student concepts. For that need an assessment technique can reveal aspects of the process, one of them. The purpose of this research are: (1) To Know How to Improve Motivation of Student Achievement Semester II in Tarbiyah High School of Raden Wijaya Mojokerto, (2) To Know How Joyful Learning Scenario at Tarbiyah High School of Raden Wijaya Mojokerto (3) To Knowing How Efforts to Improve Student Achievement Motivation Semester II Through Joyful Learning Learning at Tarbiyah High School of Raden Wijaya Mojokert The subject of this research is the second semester students in the Islamic religious education program of Tarbiyah High School of Raden Wijaya Mojokerto academic year 2016/2017 . There are several things that need authors conclude (1) Group work is very effective done in order to support the activities of the lectures with a fun learning. (2) The provision of resource materials that students need to complete the task is very effective when the lectures are conducted using a fun learning lesson. (3) The balance of time efficiency with each group at the beginning and end of each lecture is essential in ensuring that the report card is really concise and interesting.
