This study aims to describe the capacity of students' learning skills, provide and develop problem-solving learning skills, prepare appropriate modules that are used by students, and encourage counseling and learning development units. The method used in this action research is a qualitative research design. The research technique was carried out by using a case study approach and observation. The results showed that the students' mathematical abilities ranged from 26-50 (57.14%). Only 14% (11.43% + 2.86%) of AgtSP students have capacities in basic mathematics. Learning skills, for example, reading and writing, had lower AgtSP values, namely 37.14% and 34.29%. AgtSP is still dominated by Papuan students (86%) and a small proportion of non-Papuan students (14%). Many students enrolled in AgtSP graduated from Social Sciences (38%), some graduated from Agricultural High School (33%), and a few graduated from natural sciences 21%) and a small number of students graduated from Non. Agricultural Senior High School, namely administration interest. Student GPA has increased in the number of students who have GPA scores. 23 components affect student learning skills at the university level as experienced by AgtSP. The conclusion is the low scores obtained by mathematics, reading, and writing students enrolled in the Faculty.

Undergraduate Thesis

This study attempts to investigate the choice of theme and thematic progression deployed in one of the considerably best undergraduate theses in a university in Indonesia. The choice of theme and thematic progression is constrained by the audience of a particular culture; therefore, the process of meaning making is culturally situated. The university, in effects, has its standard for grading academic writing, representing a culture that shapes meaning making processes. This study particularly focuses on how theme and thematic progression contributes to making meanings to meet the demands of the institution. This study employs a descriptive-qualitative research design embracing the characteristics of a case study approach. The data obtained from the best undergraduate student’s thesis were analyzed from the perspective of Halliday’s theme system and its progression. The analysis shows that the three types of theme: topical, interpersonal and textual themes, were realized in the thesis following the conventional features of good academic writings. The topical theme dominantly occupies the theme system chosen for the thesis. This study confirms that a good academic text shares its characteristics across cultures, suggesting that the teaching of academic writing in one culture could refer to the characteristics of good academic texts in other cultures.

The Relationship

<p>This study investigated the English language learning status in 18 high schools in Tehran, Iran. The aim was to examine the extent to which the students have achieved English proficiency, due to the type of high school (non- profit and ordinary- governmental) in which they studied. Also, an attempt was made to explore whether the student' performance on vocabulary, listening, speaking, reading, and writing would be different in terms of students' attendance in language institutes. Furthermore, in this study, the subjects' attitude toward English and its effect on the skills was taken into account.</p>

Este artículo pretende exponer resultados parciales de la investigación Niveles de comprensión lectora de los estudiantes que ingresan a primer semestre durante el 2012 en la Corporación Universitaria Rafael Núñez, dicha medición se hizo a partir de un diseño de investigación cualitativo, del tipo acción-educativa; cuyos datos se recolectaron a partir de un test de comprensión lectora basado en la metodología ICFES. Cabe anotar que los resultados fueron analizados de manera cuantitativa, pero con intenciones interpretativas. Los principales resultados que se obtuvieron están relacionados con el porcentaje de estudiantes que se ubican en cada nivel y el porcentaje que de muestra dominio en las competencias cognitivas, en su orden, se halló que la mayoría ingresa en un nivel bajo y que el domino de las competencias es inferior al 60%. Lo que permitió como conclusiones preliminares la necesidad de hacer un seguimiento a los estudiantes, implementar acciones para la adquisición y el desarrollo de habilidades en la lectura y en la escritura y diseñar estrategias de lectura encaminadas a fortalecer las competencias interpretativa, argumentativa y propositiva.ABSTRACT:This article aims to present partial results of research reading comprehension levels of students entering first semester in 2012 at the University Corporation Rafael Nunez, this measurement was made from a qualitative research design, the type-educational action; whose data were collected from a reading comprehension test based on the methodology ICFES. It should be noted that the results were analyzed quantitatively, but interpretative intentions. The main results obtained are related to the percentage of students who are placed in each level and the percentage that demonstrates mastery on cognitive skills, in order, it was found that most enter at a low level and that the domain of the competence is below 60%. What allowed as preliminary findings need to track students, implement actions for the acquisition and development of skills in reading and writing and reading strategies designed to strengthen the skills of interpretation, argumentative and purposeful.

This research is based on learning in tertiary institutions which requires more active, independent and creative learners. of the importance of using appropriate learning methods in mathematics learning at the university level. SCAMPER is a technique that can be used to spark creativity and help overcome challenges that might be encountered in the form of a list of general goals with ideas spurring questions. This research aims to develop students' problem solving skills using the SCAMPER method in terms of student motivation. The population in this study were all semester V students of mathematics education study programs, which were also the research samples. From the analysis of the data it was found that the SCAMPER method was better in developing students' problem solving abilities with an average increase of 0.52 compared to conventional methods with an average increase of 0.45. In addition there is a difference between improving students' problem solving abilities when viewed from their motivation. But there is no interaction between motivational factors and learning methods.
