Comic can be an effective educational tool at various levels of Education. Developmental trends of technology can be used as a learning medium. In this research the comics are designed for operated using an android. This study aims to produce a local wisdom based physics comic media: hopscotch game that is suitable for learning impulse and momentum material in high school, and to know the effectiveness of the media used to improve mathematical representation and creative thinking of students. This research is a Research and Development (R&D) using the Borg & Gall model. Research instruments include product assessment sheets, questionnaire, mathematical representation and creative thinking tests. The data analysis technique used is the MANOVA test. The results show that the product is a media that is operated using a smartphone/ android with the EPUB-Reader application or a computer with an internet browser. The comic media contains impulse and momentum material, videos, examples, and practice questions. The product is categorized as suitable to be used in the physics learning process. There is a difference between the experimental and control classes. This shows that the local wisdom based Physics comic: android-assisted can improve mathematical representation and creative thinking of high school students.

The study aims to describe the ability of mathematical creative thinking on the aspects of fluency, flexibility, and originality in solving open-ended problem of Linear Equations with One Variable. The subjects are 7th grade students of one private junior high school in Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia. The data was collected by the test, interview, and documentation. The method of data validation was used triangulation, i.e. techniques and resources. The analysis technique of the data was used an interactive method that consists of the reduction, presentation, and conclusion. The result of the research shows that the fluency aspect achieved by the students ability to mention the possibility of other answers. Then, the flexibility aspect is showed by the students use different method to solve the problem, or at least use the appropriate method. The originality aspect is showed by the students‘ ability to make the problem which are rarely found by other students.

This study aims to determine the use of dakon media on the learning outcomes of high school students in Gowa Regency then to find out the significant effect of using media dakon on the mathematics learning outcomes of high school students in Gowa Regency. The approach used is a quantitative approach. The type of research conducted is True-Experimental Design, which is a sample used for experiments and control groups taken randomly from certain populations. The research variables consist of two, namely the dakon Media as the independent variable (X) and Learning Outcomes as the dependent variable (Y). The research design used in this study was the Design Matching Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. random sample research (Therandomized pretest-posttest control grouf design. The population in this study were all high school students in Gowa Regency, totaling 836 elementary schools. Data analysis technique used was to test hypotheses using t-test with independent samples test t test The results of the study showed that the learning process using the mathematics media was effective, it was seen that there was a significant influence of the use of mathematics media media to the mathematics learning outcomes of high school students in Gowa Regency.

Abstract Implementation of demonstration method in the teaching of chemistry is assigned as the right strategy to improve students’ achievement as it is proved that the method can bring an abstract concept to reality in the class. The study is conducted to vocational high school students in SMKN1 Pargetteng getteng Sengkut Pakfak Barat at accademic year 2013. The teaching has been carried out three cycles on the teaching of chemistry topic of colloid system. In the study, the class is divided into two class, experiment class and control class. The demontration method is used to teach students in experimental class while the teaching in control class is conducted with lecture method. Both are evaluated by using multiple choise tests before and after the teaching procedures, and the ability of students to answer the problems are assigned as students’ achievements. The results showed that demonstration method improved students’ achievement in chemistry. The students in experimental class who are taughed with demonstration method (M=19.08±0.74) have higher achievements compare with control class (M=12.91±2.52), and both are significantly different (tcalculation 22.85 > ttable 1.66). The effectivity of demostration method in experimental class (97%) is found higer compare to conventional method in control class (91%).

Purpose: Research has confirmed that students’ mathematics values significantly affect their mathematics learning. Accordingly, understanding how students’ values form and change, especially during different learning stages, is an important topic. Design/Approach/Methods: This study administered a questionnaire to investigate the values of primary, junior high, and senior high school students in Eastern China. A principal component analysis was conducted to investigate the factor structure of the students’ learning values. Then, paired sample t-tests were used to examine the differences in the two continuous categories ranking of each group, and a one-way analysis of variance with a Brown–Forsythe test was used to test the differences in the ranking of each dimension by the different grade-level groups. Findings: We found that students’ mathematics learning values consist of seven elements: culture, memorization, technology, objectism, practice, understanding, and control. Students placed different degrees of importance on these seven elements at different learning stages. Additionally, we found that junior high school is a critical period of change in students’ values. Originality/Value: These findings will be invaluable to teachers and educators as they reflect on their teaching approaches. Moreover, the findings that students’ values undergo changes in the course of their schooling are important information for educators seeking to foster students’ learning.
