Democratic State

The development of the Ukrainian democratic state requires the creation of a qualitatively new national education system in order to ensure revival of intellectual and spiritual potential of the Ukrainian people. Teacher’s personality formation in this aspect is a complex multifaceted process. Education is one of the main problems of theory and practice of pedagogical education. Pedagogical activity in the field of pupils’ physical education is a specific form of activity aimed at the realization by elementary school teacher as constructive, communicative, organizational and cognitive functions of his professional activity. Elementary school teacher’s pedagogical work is characterized by a variety of professional responsibilities, which every teacher must be able to perform in a qualified manner. It demands from a teacher of high focus on the qualitative solution of pedagogical tasks (improving, educational, and educative) in physical education of pupils and also ethical communication with pupils, colleagues on service, parents of pupils. Pedagogical work of physical culture teacher at elementary school in consists in ability to realize aims, to unleash tasks on physical education of pupils. General and aged tasks of physical education are highlighted. General tasks of physical education, such as "strengthening of pupils’ health", "versatile physical development" "hardening of pupils" pass through the whole process of physical education from the 1st to the 4th grade. Pedagogical technology of elementary school teacher reflects tactics of implementation for educational technologies, is based on knowledge of  the regularities of functioning the system "teacher - environment - student" in certain conditions of study (individual, group, collective, mass, etc.). Common features and patterns of implementation for the educational process regardless of the specific educational discipline is inherent it. A teacher turns into a public figure responsible for each student during  all years of his  work at school,  having realized the main directions of professional work - study, upbringing and development of pupils, ensuring diverse physical development of a child.

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.

Prospective Elementary School Teachers have difficulty in understanding the science concepts. Beside, they are generally low in curiosity, passive in discussion, and lack of collaboration on microteaching activities. This study aims to: (1) Reveal how to apply the experimental-based LSQ learning model on microteaching activities for elementary school teacher candidates; (2) Examine the increase in curiosity and understanding the concept of science. The method used is a Quasi-experiment method with purposive sampling technique. The sample are 31 elementary school teacher candidates from Universitas Sains Al Quran, Wonosobo, Indonesia. The data about understanding the concept was collected through a test with 30 questions. The data about curiosity was collected by questionnaires and observation sheets. The results showed that there is an increase in the understanding of the concept based on the gain test of 0.3. Furthermore, based on the t-test of 4.01 and t-table of 1.99 (tcount t-table = 4.01 1.99), LSQ model is effective in increasing the curiosity. Curiosity through the four main skills found, namely: questioning skills, reinforcement, explanation skills, and classroom management. The average result of the competency percentage on LSQ learning is 72% (medium category). LSQ is strongly recommended to be applied by prospective elementary school teachers.

The aim of this research is to develop a media for learning mathematics in "Opung HAN" elementary school based on Interactive Audio Instruction (IAI) for students majoring in UNIMED elementary school teacher education. The IAI-based "Opung HAN" fraction media was compiled based on observations during the learning and analysis conducted on the dictates of high-class mathematics education courses and interviews conducted with elementary school teacher education students, where teachers were very difficult to convey material related to fractions, The teacher does not know what media to use in teaching broken material. On the other hand, in the high school mathematics education textbook, there is also no media / teaching aids that can be used to teach fractional material. The specific purpose of this research is: developing IAI-based "Opung HAN" fraction media which will later be used by students majoring in primary school teacher education in teaching fraction material when they later become a teacher. This research uses development research (Developmental Research). The subjects of this study were students majoring in primary school teacher education at the State University of Medan. In the initial stage, observations were made during the learning process, analysis of the dictates of high-level mathematics education courses and continued with interviews with students. From the results of these observations and interviews, an initial draft of the IAI-based "Opung HAN" fraction was compiled. Furthermore, the initial design of the IAI-based "Opung HAN" fraction media was validated by a team that aimed to assess the quality of these elementary mathematics learning media fractions so that the fractional media became effective learning media which would later be used by lecturers and students in the lecture process.Keywords :  IAI, Fraction media, math learning.
