The present study is a part of design research in local instructional theory in a pre-algebraic lesson using the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach. The article will focus on recommendations for the type of pre-algebra class that supports elementary school students’ algebraic thinking. As design research study, it followed the three steps of preliminary studies, teaching experiment and retrospective analysis. The subject of the study is 32 fifth grade students of MIN 2 Palembang during the teaching experiment phase.  The data were gathered from students’ worksheets, lesson observation and interviews with the students. Data analysis was done using a constant comparative qualitative method. The results from the study indicate that pattern investigation in pre-algebra class that visualized geometrically supports the students to identify the form of the pattern and construct generalization.

The number line and the neutralization model have been used very extensively in teaching integer additions and subtractions for decades. Despite their advantages, issues concerning subtractions on these models are still debatable. Therefore, the neutralization on an empty number line (NNL) model is proposed in this research to help students better understand the meaning of integer subtractions as well as additions. This report is a part of a design research study conducted in a classroom of 28 elementary school students at the fifth grade. Data were gathered by collecting students’ written work, conducting interviews and observations during the teaching experiment. This paper focuses on students’ perceptions of the NNL model and what factors that might contribute to students’ achievements in understanding integer additions and subtractions. The analysis revealed that most students overemphasized on the use of the NNL model as a procedural method instead of as a model for thinking. Moreover, students’ mathematical beliefs and conceptions on the use of the column strategy and the absence of a discussion on the need of using the model are found to be some factors that could cause students’ misunderstandings. However, with a thorough planning, the NNL model has a potential to help students developing a meaning of integer additions and subtractions.

The aim of this research was to find out the improvement of writing essay writing skills that were applied through the image media to the fifth-grade students of SDN 09 Mattekko kec. Bara City of Palopo. This study uses a quantitative and qualitative approach with a type of Classroom Action Research (CAR) designed through three cycles. The subject of the research was Mattekko 09 Elementary School Elementary School students, amounting to 24 students. Data collection techniques used are observation, documentation, and tests. Data obtained were analyzed using a descriptive statistical formula (percentage) to describe descriptively the results of the study. Furthermore, to discuss and explain the results of research that are qualitative descriptive, the data reduction analysis, data presentation, and conclusion drawing techniques are used. The results found that the pre-cycle stage, the average value of students was 58.54 with classical learning completeness of 20.5%. After learning to apply the picture media, in the first cycle, the average value was 67.70 with the classical completeness was 58.33%. Furthermore, in the second cycle, the average value was 74.58 with 79.16% classical learning completeness. Then, continued in the third cycle the average value is 81.45 with classical learning completeness is 95.83%. Thus, the skill of writing essays in the description of grade V students of SDN 09 Mattekko by applying picture media starting from the first cycle to the third cycle shows effective results. Therefore, the image media needs to be used as a reference by the teacher in learning to write essays in elementary schools, especially SDN 09 Mattekko, Palopo city.

The low interest of students in Indonesian language subject caused the majority of the students to be less enthusiastic about the lessons delivered by the teacher, so that students’ learning outcomes were low. The purpose of this study was to increase students’ interest and learning outcomes in Indonesian subjects through direct learning for 5th grade students in SDN 3 Karangraja. The subjects of this study were the fifth-grade students of SDN 3 Karangraja, with the total of 25 students. This research was conducted for two cycles. The results showed that in each cycle there was a progress that was proven with the result in the first cycle, the students’ interest reached 13 students (52.00%) in learning and students who passed the learning through the improvement in cycle I were only 13 students (52.0%). In the second cycle improvement, there was an increase in interest of 23 students (92.00%). Thus, the learning outcomes of students were increasing with the number of 23 students (92.0%) passed the subject. This result proved that through the direct learning method students could solve their own problems in Indonesian language subject.

Multicultural approach in Indonesian language has become an absolute necessity over the last years. This research highlights the role of multicultural culture as a means to improve writing achievement of Indonesian Language among elementary school students. This study aims at determining the effectiveness of the multicultural approach in the writing achievement of Indonesian language among fifth grade students of islamic elementary school who are grouped based on their learning motivation. This study can be catagorized as an experimental study with 2x2 factorial design. The independent variable consists of two categories, multicultural and conventional approaches. The population was  60 fifth grade students of at two private islamic schools. The data was collected using learning achievement tests and learning motivation questionnaires, and analyzed using two-way ANOVA and sheffe test. The results showed that (1) there were a gap in learning achievement between students in the experimental group and control group students; (2) there were differences in learning achievement between students with high motivation between both groups; (3) there were differences in learning achievement between low motivated students between both groups; (4) the multicultural approaches proved to be more effective than the conventional one; and (5) there was no interaction between the approaches and the learning motivation.

The main problem in this research is to find out the design of valid teaching materials and the practicality of teaching materials. This research is a Research & Development (R&D) research method. To develop the product, this research uses a 4-D development model consisting of four stages, namely: (1) the defined phase, (2) the design phase, (3) the development phase, and (4) the disseminate stage. This research was conducted in class V of SD Negeri 1 Lalebbata Palopo, which acted as the subject of the study was the fifth-grade students totaling 25 people. Data collection techniques in this study are: observation, documentation, Questionnaire, and Validation. Analysis of the data used by the researcher was to test its validity by using the Aiken's formula and for analyzing student questionnaire response data and observations using descriptive statistical analysis. The results of this study indicate that the integrated religious neuroscience-based teaching material is said to be valid by three validators with several revisions so that it can be said to be valid and can be tested, then this teaching material can be said to be interesting because the results from the questionnaire responses of 20 students tend to agree with teaching material developed. Thus this research needs to be socialized so that it can become a consideration of teachers in schools in improving students' writing skills.
