“Game Panjol” is an educational game that was developed by the researchers of this study. The educational theme discussed in this game is the diversity of ethnic groups and cultures in Indonesia for fourth grade elementary school students. This adventure game has a mission to save friends from different tribes and cultures. The purpose of this study was to determine the difficulty of this game. First the game difficulty was identified from the point of view of the game designers. Next, the game was tested with respondents and its difficulty was analysed from the players’ perspective. From the point of view of the game designer, this game is divided into 3 levels, which are easy, medium, and hard. The difficulty levels is based on the number and weight of obstacles in the game. From the point of view of the game player, the difficulty level is determined by the number of times their attempts are successful, how long it takes to finish, how many coins are earned, and how many friends are saved. For the 14 respondents, the success of the rescue mission at each level was 100%, while the collection of coins at easy, medium, and hard levels was 88.124%, 89.881%, and 80.382% respectively. Based on the comparison between the average number of trials and the maximum number of trials, each level is 20.476%, 28.151%, and 30.357%. Keywords: adventure, education, game

The purpose of this study was to explore how examples used in teaching may influence elementary school students' conceptions of evaporation and boiling. To this end, the examples traditionally used to explain evaporation and boiling in Korean 4th grade science textbooks were analyzed. The functions of these published examples were explanation (empirical recognition, identification, and evidence) and reinforcement (applications). However, few reinforcement functions (such as comparison and supposition) or clarification functions (such as extension and contrast) were employed. The evaporation and boiling conceptions of 41 students in the 4th grade, 55 students in the 5th grade, and 28 students in the 6th grade were surveyed. Many students thought of evaporation phenomena under heating conditions as boiling, and the same phenomena without an obvious source of heating as evaporation. This meant that the presence of heating affected the students' conceptions of evaporation and boiling. In this study, the students were presented with clarifying functional examples that were not included in the textbooks. After exposure to these examples, many students revised their misconceptions and adopted scientific conceptions. Previous studies have argued that students must be able to reason from a microscopic point of view to understand evaporation and boiling phenomena; however, the tested students were able to classify the two different phenomena after experiencing appropriate functional examples.

Twenty First Century

We are preparing today's elementary school students to live in the information society of the twenty-first century. In that society, whether one is a “have” or a “have not” will be determined largely by one' s education; the ability to do mathematics and solve problems will be essential. Today we have dramatic racial inequities in employment and income. We also have great disparities by race in students' achievement and participation in mathematics. To reduce the inequities in society tomorrow, we must address the disparitie in mathematics today. In my opinion, this challenge is the major issue in mathematics education today.

One technology that is developing very rapidly now is information technology and mobile communication (mobile). Mathematics is a science that is widely used in everyday life such as used in trade transactions, carpentry, and so forth. But unfortunately mathematics is considered a difficult subject to understand and is considered terrible by some students who do not like the subject. Like what happened at 004 Batu Aji State Elementary School in Batam. In addition, learning techniques are a bit rigid, because they only come from textbooks. Therefore an educational game was made by incorporating elements of mathematics learning in it to make it look interesting and increase the interest of elementary school students. Indicator variables used are addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The purpose of this study is to apply and develop mathematics learning media in the form of an android-based educational game in the hope that it can improve the ability to count quickly, add insight and memory to students.
