The teaching generally refers to the curriculum that is applied to the school. Teachers are not yet able to develop their own teaching materials. Learning given to children at a young age is focuses on the direction of physical growth and development, language, intellectual, social, emotional, and all intelligence. The problem is that in the learning process it generally reveals only one - way materials by a teacher or teacher center, and the lecture study model. Where the child just sat listening while the teacher explained. Learning is more meaningful if the learning process is carried out experiental learning - that children do tightening in learning. In playing teachers need a manual on a game scenario to be given to learners. The purpose of this study to describe a design for material development a fun outbound game in search of treasure. The method used in this study is educational design research (edr). Data collection techniques interviews, documentation, and expert validation. Data subjects obtained from TK PGRI Lendrasari group b teacher, and validation by the expert validator. Expert validation becomes the product revision. Then the lesson would be a fun outbound book guide for a treasure in the early childhood. Bahan ajar pada umumnya mengacu pada kurikulum yang diterapkan di Sekolah. Guru belum mampu mengembangkan bahan ajar sendiri, guru masih berpacu pada satu bahan ajar yaitu kurikulum 2013. Pembelajaran yang diberikan kepada anak usia dini bukan berorientasi pada akademis saja, melainkan menitik beratkan kepada arah pertumbuhan dan perkembangan fisik, bahasa, intelektual, sosial, emosi serta seluruh kecerdasan. Permasalahan yang terjadi yaitu dalam proses pembelajaran yang dilakukan di dalam kelas, pada umumnya hanya mengungkapkan materi- materi satu arah oleh guru atau teacher center, dan model pembelajaran ceramah. Dimana anak hanya duduk mendengarkan ketika guru menjelaskan. Pembelajaran akan lebih bermakna jika proses pembelajaran dilakukan secara experiental learning yaitu anak melakukan pengindraan dalam belajar. Hampir semua aktivitas yang dilakukan oleh anak adalah bermain. Dalam bermain guru memerlukan buku panduan mengenai skenario permainan yang akan diberikan kepada anak didik. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mendeskripsikan rancangan desain pengembangan bahan ajar  permainan Fun Outbound mencari harta karun. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Educational Design Research (EDR). Penelitian ini berbasis desain atau rancangan produk dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Teknik pengumpulan data wawancara, dokumentasi, dan validasi ahli. Subjek data diperoleh dari guru kelompok B TK PGRI Lendrasari, dan validasi oleh validator ahli. Hasil validasi ahli menjadi bahan revisi produk. Dengan demikian kesimpulannya Bahan ajar berupa buku panduan permainan Fun Outbound mencari harta karun di PAUD layak digunakan.

<p>A political crisis is currently underway in New Zealand with a critical lack of affordable well-designed housing. Due to the presence in New Zealand of such vast timber resources and our enviable global location for export shipping, there are great economic and industry opportunities for the production of prefabricated timber housing. However, the contemporary architectural position on prefabrication is often limited by the inability to evidence individuality, diverse detailing and robust habitability with a predetermined production ‘formula’. This thesis argues that the anonymous open plan nature of prefabrication facilities is restricting prefabrication from achieving high levels of architectural design that evidence qualities of craft. This thesis argues that by using an interdisciplinary approach recognising qualities of shared authorship with prefabrication, this highly effective form of construction can satisfy a wider market while maintaining key architectural values of individuality (authorship), detailing (craft) and habitability (integrated technical functions, sustainability, etc.).  The design research explores how the design of a large-scale prefabrication facility can encourage craft and authorship within production processes. Similarly through design exploration the facility intends to provide a cohesive understanding and implementation of complex and specialised industry systems alongside production processes. The design also explores how the facility can provide an environment where this collaboration can be meaningfully encouraged, while also facilitating collaborative learning to resolve prefabrication design-related problems.  The site for the proposed new Trade Build Facility is on the border of Wellington’s operational port of Centre Port, on the south intersection of Waterloo Quay and Cornwell Street, Pipitea, alongside a resource of raw logs with multiple national and international transport modes. The thesis proposes the experimental design of a facility that focuses on timber beginning with the processing of the raw log at the input end, through to the pre-fabricated housing units at the output end. This thesis proposes a production facility that also takes on the role of an educational design vehicle for both the architect and the architectural student to develop and engage the latest technologies of design and construction in the field of prefabrication, providing them with the foundation for entering the complexities of the current architectural design profession. It is intended that users will witness the actual creation of a system of architecture, in a setting explicitly designed to enable these conditions to transform and evolve in step with the latest industry developments. This results in a productive partnering between design and construction, production and education, architect and architectural student through the refined inclusion of craft and authorship in architectural design.  The thesis actively seeks a design solution that develops future design outcomes of prefabricated timber production facilities through an enhanced and responsive adaptability within the facility. The building design also encourages robust and cohesive collaboration by incorporating multidisciplinary specialists with the production and education processes of prefabrication. As a result this thesis argues that architects will be provided greater opportunities for exploring craft and authorship within the context of prefabrication. The problems addressed by the strategic design experiments are prefabrication focused; however the situation is emblematic of a greater problem in the overall field of architecture. Through a focused evaluation on the collaborative environment experienced in the production of prefabrication, valuable lessons are transferable to all collaborative construction-based work environments, facilitating the ability to engender qualities of craft in an architecturally advanced industry.</p>

STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education nowadays becomes more and more topical; however, students’ performance in these subjects is rather low and only a small part of them decide to study these sciences therefore it is important to rouse students’ interest in these subjects already at school. It is important to acquire not only the knowledge of the subject but also the transversal skills, thus, the organization of the teaching/learning process becomes more significant. Schools of Latvia start implementing the teaching/learning content and approach that correspond to the new standards of basic and general secondary education, which incorporates four innovative aspects in the science domain: the promotion of the content acquisition through teachers’ reciprocal collaboration; the use of ICT (Information Communication Technologies) as a platform for engineering technological solutions; learning through doing and engagement in discussions and other activities for making socially responsible decisions. The aim of the study is to find out students’ readiness to learn STEM in the context of innovative approaches of the national education reform. To reach the aim, the research question was set – to what extent and in which way are students ready to learn STEM? Using the QuestionPro e-platform, 257 students of Latvian general comprehensive schools were surveyed and the meta-analysis of factors of thematically respective selected questions was performed. The obtained empirical results were compared with the four aspects of the innovative approach pertaining to the education reform in the science domain. The study resulted in isolating main four factors: the course of the teaching/learning process, the feedback, the use of ICT and technologies little used in the acquisition STEM. The found factors comprised all the innovations of the science domain put forward by the national education reform, which means that students already at the pre-reform stage are ready to acquire STEM subjects in an innovative way.
