Reading comprehension has been considered as a major issue in the Indonesian EFL context including in the junior high schools. Whereas in fact, Indonesian junior high school students have been asked by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture to understand various English texts effectively. Therefore, in an attempt to comply with the required criteria above, this paper proposes a possible solution to cope with Indonesian students’ reading comprehension issue. In this sense, CIRC proposed as a possible technique to enhance Indonesian junior high school students’ reading comprehension. Specifically, this research attempts to measure the effectiveness of CIRC technique on students’ reading comprehension at grade seven of a junior school located in West Sumatera, Indonesia namely the MTsN Koto Baru Junior High School. Accordingly, the study employed a quasi-experimental design, comparing students’ pre-test and post-test scores to measure the effectiveness of CIRC towards students’ reading comprehension. The different result between the pre-test and post-test tested using the paired sample t-test. It was found that students’ scores on pre-test (before treatment) was lower than post-test (after treatment). Thus, it can be inferred that CIRC was effective to increase students’ reading comprehension.

This study aimed to determine the factors affecting writing skill quality and the level of their contribution to help language teachers to formulate more effective strategies using CAT to enhance writing skill. The correlating factors discussed in this research were students’ reading comprehension skill, vocabulary mastery, and attitude toward language.  The study applied quantitative approach with simple and multiple correlation and regression techniques. The samples of the study were 100 students taken using stratified random sampling technique from a population of 2000 junior high school students in Surakarta City. The data were collected using multiple choice test for students’ reading comprehension skills and vocabulary mastery, writing assignments, and questionnaires for their attitudes toward the Indonesian language. The findings showed that there are positive correlations between the independent variables, either individually or simultaneously, with writing skill. The individual contribution levels is 44.75% of reading comprehension skill, 27.70% of vocabulary mastery, and 28.5% of attitude toward language. As for the simultaneous correlation of the three determining factors make up to 45.16%. contribution level to writing skill quality. Thus it can be concluded that reading comprehension has the most contribution to writing skill compared to vocabulary mastery and attitude toward language. The identified levels of contribution can be taken into consideration in formulating teaching strategies and materials to enhance writing skill quality.

Road traffic safety education through campaigns and counseling has often been carried out by Politeknik Keselamatan Transportasi Jalan (PKTJ) Tegal as an educational institution that focuses on safety. The campaigns were given to students who are in kindergarten to high schools/ vocational high schools and also the general public by Computer Based Application (CBA). The most difficult campaign was done for Junior high school students. This study aims to make CBA as a medium of campaign in improving understanding of traffic safety. The method used is an experiment with One Group Pre test-Post test. Data collection technique was Purposive Sampling. The research samples were 82 students who come from three different junior high schools. Data collection used test methods (Pre-test and Post-test). The results show that there was an increasing result from i.e; from the low category to high, so that it can be concluded that CBA improves understanding of traffic safety in students of class VIII SMP N 1, N 4 and N 5 Ciamis.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the ways of using concept mapping strategies for enhancing Junior High School students’ reading comprehension in reading report text. Many students face difficulties in reading, like problems in their reading comprehension, cannot interpret what they read, and make the connection between what they read and what they have already known because they are unable to accurately understand written materials. Concept mapping can solve these problems by mapping their ideas, comprehending any scientific text especially for report text, analyze reading text easily, and make of conclusion from the text in a structural way. So, the concept mapping strategy is suitable for enhancing students’ reading comprehension and solve the problem.

This study aims to describe and compare the effectiveness of the application of STAD and TPS types in cooperative learning to the students. This study was a quasi-experiments research in which students were designed into a form of the experimental group (pre-test and post-test group designs), where the cooperative learning of STAD and TPS types will be applied in learning mathematics. The population in this study were junior high school students in Ternate, while samples were taken by 60 random students who had the same characteristics as the population. The result of the study shows that cooperative learning model of both STAD and TPS types are very effective to be applied on studying mathematics. However, between the STAD and TPS types of cooperative learning, the STAD types are more effective than TPS, seen from accomplishing standards of competence, mathematical communication skills, and mathematical thinking ability of Junior High School students.

The aims of this development research were to produce a learning model for basic technique of squat-style long-jump based on biomechanics with the game for junior high school students and to know the effectiveness, efficiency and attractiveness against learning model. This research used Deff model adopted from Research & Development by Borg and Gall. The subject used was junior high school students which consists of 45 students. The instruments used were need analysis, expert’s evaluation, small and large group test. Effectiveness test was to know junior high school students’ jump skill level before being given biomechanic treatment. The Pre-test obtained from the students’ jump result was about 540, and Post-test was about 812. The conducted t-test between the experiment group and the control group obtained was t = 10.152 and in the n-gain score test between the experiment group (biomechanic treatment) obtained by 76% (effective) and the control group obtained by 43.40% (less effective). Therefore, this game model is effective in increasing students’ jump learning. According to the result, it could be inferred that: (1) this model can be developed and applied in physical education, (2) the model proved that there are significant difference in pre-test and post-test between the experiment group (biomechanic treatment) and the control group after the treatment model, based on N-gain test.
