A content analysis was performed on a sample of written descriptions of classroom events provided by 84 elementary school teachers in which they focused on the affective or noncognitive behavior of students. The analysis indicated that (a) students’ interpersonal adjustment is of greater concern to teachers than their intrapersonal adjustment; (b) the individual is not necessarily the preferred unit in teachers’ descriptions of student affect; (c) groups and individuals are talked about differently; and (d) teacher perceptions of student affect are related to background factors such as grade level taught.

The purpose of the current study was to investigate prospective elementary school teachers’ visual mathematics literacy self-efficacy perceptions according to grade level, gender and the ability to draw geometric objects on isometric dot paper. The data were collected from 201 prospective elementary school teachers enrolled in the elementary school teaching department of a state university in the Western Black Sea Region. There were 86 freshman and 115 senior prospective elementary teachers. 149 of the participants were female and 52 of them were prospective male teachers. When the prospective teachers were classified according to their drawing skills on isometric dot paper, 42 of them were weak, 65 were intermediate and 94 were classified as good. In the current study, survey model that is one of the quantitative research methods was used and the study has a descriptive nature. The data of the study were collected by “Visual Mathematical Literacy Self-Efficacy Belief Instrument” consisting of 37 items developed by Bekdemir and Duran (2012) and “Drawing Geometric Objects on Isometric Dot Paper Scale” consisting of four items developed by the researcher. In data analysis, “mean”, “percentage”, “frequency”, “two way ANOVA” and “one way ANOVA” were used. The ability to draw geometric objects on isometric dot paper of prospective elementary school teachers analyzed into three categories as good, intermediate and weak. Prospective teachers who could draw all of the geometric objects given in the scale correctly on isometric dot paper were classified as good. Prospective teachers who could make the correct drawing of three or two geometric objects were classified as intermediate, and prospective teachers who could make the correct drawing of one geometric object or could not draw correctly any of the objects were classified as weak. As a result of data analysis, it could be said that prospective teachers saw themselves at a reasonable level regarding visual mathematics literacy. Moreover, the results revealed that there was a statistically significant difference the mean scores of prospective teachers in terms of grade level and the ability to draw geometric objects on isometric dot paper but there was not any statistically significant difference in the self-efficacy scores of prospective teachers according to gender

For the past two summers we have taught a two-week “computer camp” for teachers of grades one through seven. The teachers, who were paired by grade level (one pair at each computer), spent approximately three hour each day in “class” at an Apple II+ microcomputer and averaged another two hours a day in individual practice. Participant were selected on a first-come, first-served basis in response to announcements sent to area schools. The most recent camp session included eleven elementary and four middle school teacher and was taught by a university faculty member and four graduate assistants in the mathematics education department.

Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian deskriptif kuantitatif sederhana dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Penelitian ini melibatkan 222 guru di sekolah dasar negeri Kecamatan Bogor Tengah yang dipilih menggunakan purposive sampling. Hasil penelitian ini menggambarkan bahwa sebesar (81,5%) guru mengalami stres sedang. Penjabaran dari dimensi stres kerja yaitu dimensi peran kerja individu (ORQ), dimensi beban kerja individu (PSQ), dan dimensi sumber daya yang dimiliki (PRQ) menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas guru mengalami stres sedang pada ketiga kategori tersebut. Adapun jenis strategi koping yang paling sering digunakan adalah problem focused coping (54,6%). Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan agar perawat dapat bekerja sama dengan pihak sekolah dasar negeri untuk memfasilitasi kegiatan yang dapat meminimalkan kejadian stres kerja dengan penggunaan strategi koping yang tepat.   Kata kunci: Guru sekolah dasar negeri, stres kerja, kurikulum 2013, strategi koping   THE LEVEL OF STRESS AND COPING STRATEGY OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS IN IMPLEMENTATION OF CURRICULUM 2013   ABSTRACT Teachers quality is greatly influence education at the whole level of education including elementary school level.
