This research is motivated by the low ability to understand mathematical concepts possessed by prospective elementary school teacher students. This study aims to see the achievement and improvement of students' mathematical understanding abilities that use Microsoft Excel-based VBA teaching materials with those using conventional learning. This study uses a quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent pre-test and post-test control group design. This study's population were all second-semester elementary school teacher candidates in one private university in West Java, Indonesia. The sample in this study was 70 prospective 2nd-grade elementary school teacher candidates. The instrument used in this study was a test of understanding mathematical concepts. The results showed: 1) learning using VBA Microsoft Excel as a teaching material was able to improve students' ability to understand mathematical concepts; 2) learning using Microsoft Excel VBA as teaching material is better than conventional learning; and 3) students can be enthusiastic, active and motivated in learning mathematics with VBA Microsoft Excel.

The background of this research is based on diversity of Indonesia in terms of social, cultural, religious, language and ethnic groups. The specific problem in this research lies on the diversity of students in one public elementary school in Cimahi City, situated in the area of the Indonesian Army. Therefore, this research seeks to investigate the difference in improvement of students’ cross cultural skills between learning using VBA (Visual Basic of Application)-based Monopoly game teaching materials in Microsoft Excel and conventional learning. This research aims at improving students’ cross cultural skills, and observing the differences or disconnection of the improvement of students’ cultural skills between learning using VBA-based teaching materials and conventional learning. This research employed a quasi-experimental method with a non-randomized pretest-posttest control group design. A quantitative observation instrument in the form of a checklist was used as the research instrument. The results revealed that both learning using a teaching material of VBA-based Monopoly in Microsoft Excel and conventional learning were able to improve the students’ cross cultural skills. However, based on the result of N-Gain test, learning using teaching material of VBA-based Monopoly game in Microsoft Excel was better than conventional learning.

The problem-solving ability is still a big problem for students. Many studies show that Indonesian students are still low in solving math problems. One thing that is needed in solving problems is self-resilience, so that students have resilience in facing problems. This study aims to analyze the differences in problem-solving abilities of pre-service elementary school teacher in terms of self-resilience. This study used a Quasi-Experiment method with the type Nonequivalent Pretest-Posttest Control Group. The population of this study were all elementary school teacher candidates at Majalengka University with a sample of 60 respondent. This study resulted in a significant difference in the increase in problem-solving abilities of student-teacher candidates. Based on Self Resilience, the group of students who received Problem Based Learning had higher problem-solving abilities than the group of students who received expository learning. Mathematical problem-solving ability requires students to have self-resilience because in solving problems, a person needs to have confidence in his ability to face problems.

This study aims to improve the conceptual understanding of prospective elementary school teacher students on the concept of geometrical space which includes the relationship between lines and planes as well as lines and lines in geometrical space using Android games. The Android game used was XSection. This research is a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group design. The sample in this study was taken using a cluster random sampling technique and obtained class 3C as an experimental class, namely the class that learns using Android-based educational games and 3D class as the control class, namely the class that learns without using Android-based educational games. Data regarding conceptual understanding were obtained by the multiple-choice tests and data were analyzed using independent sample t-test and normalized gain test. The results showed that the experimental class showed a significant increase in understanding the concept of geometrical space compared to the control class. The post-test average score of students' conceptual understanding in the experimental class was higher than the control class so that the Android-based education game was effective in improving students' understanding of the concept of geometrical space for prospective elementary school teachers.

This study is aimed at investigating the difference of students’ civics achievement between those who are taught by Think Pair Share model based on concept mapping and those who are taught by conventional learning model of the fifth grade students in Elementary School of Cluster I in Petang District. It is a quasi-experimental research using non-equivalent post-test only control group design. The population of this research is 102 students in grade V in Elementary School of Cluster I Petang District. The samples of this research are fifth grade students of SD Negeri 3 Carangsari as experimental group and fifth grade students of SD Negeri 1 Carangsari as control group. The data of civics achievement were collected by using multiple choice tests. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistical analysis (t-test). The result showed that tcount= 3,83 and ttable = 2,03 (tcount>ttable) which can be concluded that there are significant difference between the students’ civics achievement between those who were taught by Think Pair Share learning model based on concept mapping and those who were taught by the conventional learning model in grade V in Elementary School of Cluster I Petang District of Badung Regency in academic year 2017/2018.

This study aims to know the use of numerical weighing tools against the suspension of mathematics concepts of students of class II Islamic El Al Azhar 15 Pamulang on multiplication materials. The numerical weighing tool is a semi-concrete tool or a machine that is working on an operation task. This research was conducted in the second grade of Al Azhar Islamic Elementary School 15 Pamulang. The method used in this research is quasi experimental method with The Nonequivalent Posttest-Only Control Group Design research design. The sample in this study consisted of an experimental class using 26 students and a control class directed by 26 students. Instrumen is used in this reseach such us mathematical conceptual ability written essay test. The results showed that the students used by using the instrument of numerical scales using the average ability to comprehend the concept of mathematics students is higher than the average ability to understand the concept of mathematics students who are taught without using the means of weighing the scale of the value of significance 0,001  0.05. Based on result of effect (effect size) obtained d value equal to 0,819. The value of the effect of the size obtained interprets that the use of numerical weights of numerals has a high category. Thus, this shows that there is an influence of the use of numerical weighing tools on the ability to understand the concept of mathematics students in class II Islamic Elementary School Al Azhar 15 Pamulang.
