<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The purpose of this research is to give children a geographical viewpoint, and to encourage an interest in, and awareness of, landforms and geology. We created a system based on an exploration type computer game and verified the educational effects. Moreover, we aim to reach not only the virtual aspect but we also have a goal of creating interest in the actual field. As a secondary effect, by using a computer game that attracts children’s interest, we aim to make the experience of solving issues subjective and active even if the player is a passive child, a child with little inquiry, or a child who is not adept at self-assertion. With this new approach, we also hope to interact with young generations who usually do not interact with researchers.</p><p>Many thematic maps of geography and geology are already published on the Web. They are popular among those who need to collect and view the information for some reason or with those who are interested in observing topographic maps and are interested in geology. However, in particular, the approach to children who do not have such motivation needs one more step: a mechanism to induce an inquiring mind, and a mechanism that leads to finding the information and having interest in the real field.</p><p>The platform of this research is Minecraft Education Edition (Mojang/Microsoft). Minecraft is very popular game software which has exceeded one hundred million users worldwide in recent years, and in Japan there are many elementary and junior high school student enthusiasts of Minecraft. In the game a user explores a virtual world made of cubic blocks. The blocks imitate vegetation, rock formations, and other items, and can create various puzzles. In recent years, the release of the Education Edition assumes use in classrooms.</p><p>In this research, we have constructed a virtual world tailored to a specific junior high school which teaches science classes to first grade students. First, we re-created the actual school buildings and also included the underground geologic strata based on data from boring. In addition, we created a mechanism to expand children’s imagination and knowledge about past environments which can be understood from the geological strata. We also provided checkpoints and gave challenges regarding knowledge about the formation of the land. Together with this modern world, we created ancient virtual worlds so users may understand the geological history around the school’s location.</p><p>Through the experience of this research, we were able to confirm the mechanisms for promoting motivation in children and aiding their understanding of science. It can be applied to systems other than Minecraft, and it can contribute to educational support in a wide variety of fields.</p>

The objective of this study was to investigate whether Group Investigation increased first-grade students’ descriptive writing at Raman Siriwit Junior High School, Thailand. This study is quantitative were pre-test and post-test used to collect the data. The writers applied a t-test to analyze the data. Based on the Equal variance column, in obtained t-count scores is 11.808 by computing table scores n1 + n1-2 = 23 + 23 - 2 = 44, then obtained t-table score is 2.05 and significant score is 0.000. Because the score of t-count is 11.808> t-table 2.05 and the significant score is 0.000 <α = 0.05, so that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. This means that the pretest writing score compared to the posttest writing score is different. This means that there are significant differences in writing pretest scores with posttest scores after the Group Investigation method. Group Investigation increased first-grade students’ descriptive writing at Raman Siriwit Junior High School, Thailand.

&lt;p&gt;Experimental Junior High School of Heraklion, Crete, Greece ([email protected])&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Teaching Geography in the first grade of Junior High School &amp;#8211; Secondary education, we will focus on the meaning of the water on Earth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The water cycle in nature is one of the most important systems in our planet on which life depends. The technological interventions of human cause severe disturbances in this cycle. Thus, there are large periods of drought alternating with periods of heavy rainfall.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some of the causes of the water cycle disorder are:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- The destruction of the forests.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- The drainage of wetlands.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- The diversion of rivers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- The construction of dams.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- The greenhouse effect.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Man is largely responsible for the disruption of the water cycle, since he pollutes both the ground and surface water supplies. In developed countries people use water more than people in underdeveloped countries. Half of the earth&amp;#8217;s population is not provided with basic standards of hygiene. Lack of water means thirst and hunger, since land cultivation is impossible without water.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Questions that students will answer:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;- What is the water cycle?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;- What problems are associated with water cycle disorder?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;- The water cycle in nature is characterized as a system. What are the parts of the system in this cycle?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;- How human interventions in the environment need to be done so as to maintain the balance of the water system?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Students will find information on topics:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;- Province in drinking water in Africa.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;- The problem of water shortage in the Middle East and its treatment.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;- Areas of land with disputes over rivers.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;- Areas of Greece with water shortage problem.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;

This research aimed to find out the student ability in speaking at students at Junior High School 2 Panca Rijang and this study is the result of a report from a case study on the effect of metacognitive teaching on speaking ability of low-ranking junior high school students, the metacognitive strategy influences students' speaking achievement, namely by conducting a pre-test in one group and the design of the post-test was conducted to support the findings in the results of learning speaking after training. In design, observation and qualitative questionnaires were conducted to see the process of students in learning speaking procedural knowledge of metacognition in speaking. This research applying metacognitive strategies that are developed as a way of learning. Subject, selected by simple random sampling, are 20 first grade junior high schools, Comparison of pre-test and post-test scores will show metacognitive strategy can help students who are less skilled improve their speaking skills. The results show the view that metacognitive strategy can help students with speaking skills who are less skilled improve their speaking skills, but from the overall results there still appear to be some limitations for those who are skilled with minimal results.
