A recently proposed multidimensional similarity analysis methodology was used to analyze the dimensionality of a set of selected behavior problems sometimes exhibited by elementary students in classroom situations. Judges were elementary school teachers who frequently encountered such behavior problems. The three extracted evaluation dimensions, accounting for 82% of the judgmental variance, were all readily interpretable. The success of this exploratory application of a multidimensional scaling procedure to educational concerns suggested further uses for such investigative methodologies with regard to other forms of educational judgment-evaluation.

A recently proposed multidimensional similarity analysis methodology was used to analyze the dimensionality of a set of selected classroom social reinforcers. Judges were elementary school teachers who frequently administered such reinforcers. The three extracted evaluation dimensions, accounting for 81% of the judgmental variance, were all readily interpretable. The success of this exploratory application of a multidimensional scaling procedure in the realm of educational concerns suggested further uses for such investigative methodologies with regard to other forms of educational judgment-evaluation.

Events in the past ten years have made it necessary and desirable for colleges and universities to increase their course requirements in mathematics for elementary school teachers. There has been little or no opposition to this trend except as one finds it in individual colleges when there is a proposal to change course requirements. In mathematics the change has been in the direction of doubling or trebling the number of credits in mathematics required of prospective elementary teachers.

Today there is widespread concern for helping e leme nta ry school teachers acquire new mathematical knowledge. This is reflected in the vast number of inservice programs being conducted across the country. As yet, however, there has been no gene ral agreement on important goals or reasonable levels of achievement to be expected after a series of prescribed in-service experiences. Characteristically there has been no attempt to find out how much of the new mathematics curricula elementary school teachers understand.

Elementary school teachers, preservice or inservice, are not usually given the background in geometry that they need. Some college courses for elementary teachers contain no study of geometry. Those courses that do contain geometry may be limited to traditional topics in measurement, some terminology, and certain facts concerning familiar geometric shapes; or they may review the definitions, theorems, and proofs that the teacher has already had in high school. Judging on hearsay, experience, and an analysis of current mathematics texts for teachers, few courses are providing the teacher with what is needed.

At the recent meeting of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics held in New York City,* one elementary school panel dealt with the problem of providing better instruction in mathematics to gifted students. Thus far, most attempts to meet the needs of gifted students have depended upon horizontal enrichment. A difficulty has been that most elementary teachers lack sufficient knowledge of mathematics to make enrichment programs successful. The mathematics preparation of elementary school teachers must be improved.

Distance Learning (PJJ) began to be applied by all teachers in Indonesia during the Covid Pandemic including teacher who taughtat the Elementary School (SD) level. The application of this learning is not as easy as what many people talk about, because teachers must be able to select and design instrucctional media using technology. The problem ezperienced by teacher, especially in the regions, is the lack of knowledge in making technology-based learning media, especially learning media that can be used as an evaluation material for Distance Learning (PJJ). As a solution tothis problem, our team conducted training on making google forms for elementary teachers as a medium for evauating Distance Learning (PJJ) during the pandemic. The ethod we provide for this community service activity is by providing direct training to elementary school teachers, making simole modules, and providing assitance in making google form evaluation media. The result of this services activity is that as many as 20 teachers who participated in the training were able to create and design their own google form according to the needs of each subject as a media for evaluation of Distance Learing (PJJ. In addition, based on the results of the questionnaire filled out by the teachers who attended the training, it shows that 90% of the teachers understand how to make google forms themselves and 100% of  the teachers   are happy with the training acivities that have been held.Keyword: google form, pjj, evaluation learning

This paper presents a study conducted with 83 Romanian elementary school teachers about their representations of Financial Education (FE) and the importance of teaching it in school. The teachers responded to an online survey about their perceptions and their needs to teach Financial Literacy (FL). The preliminary results show that most of the teachers recognize the importance of learning FL. Their rationale for the importance of financial education in schools range from rational arguments, to citizenships arguments with sociocultural arguments in between.
