This research reports on the effectiveness of Polya Problem-Solving and Target-Task collaborative learning approaches in electricity amongst high school physics students. It also includes a gender focus. It was an experimental research with a pre-test post-test control group design. The experimental groups were exposed to Polya Problem-Solving approach and Target-Task collaborative learning approach while the control group were exposed to conventional teaching. A total of 180 students were selected and divided equally into three groups, 60 (male adolescent and female adolescent) each. The students were initially pre-tested, followed by teaching and learning in electricity using the treatments, and finally they were post-tested using the Performance Test in Current Electricity (PTCE). Data were analyzed quantitatively with descriptive statistics and ANCOVA, and the research hypotheses were tested at .05 alpha level of significance. The research confirmed that both the treatments, Polya Problem-Solving and Target-Task collaborative learning approaches enhanced the performance of the students based on gender and scoring abilities compared with the conventional teaching. Keywords: collaborative learning, conventional teaching, gender, performance, physics students’, Polya problem-solving, target-task.

This reseach is aimed at knowing the students ability in both solving the math problem and connection those who are taught by Problem Based Learning at class VIII of the Junior High school 28 Padang 2017/2018. This research is categorized as quasy Experimental Research, by using Randomized Control Group Only Design. After implementing the Problem Based Leaning, the student was directly given the test as the result showed that the score  of the student who belong to the experimental class in  problem solving recorded as 74,00 while those who were in the control class only refers to 72,30. The test average score on the experimental class in term of math connection ability was 68,73; while in the control class recorded as 62,43. The T- Test showed that T-Table equals to 1,64 with the degree of reliability 95% . This fact reveals that the students’ ability in solving the problem after being taught through Problem Based Learning is higher than in control class with T-count equals to 3,71; while their connection math ability through Problem Based Learning Model in the Experimental Class is higher than control with T-count 2.17.Keywords: Problem Based Learning, problem solving, mathematics connection

This article describes a unique project using commercial haptic interfaces to augment the teaching of high school physics. Since force is central to the teaching of physics, we believe that the use of haptics in virtual reality physics simulations has the potential for deeper, more engaging learning. Software has been developed which is freely-available on the internet, and HTML tutorials have been developed to support these haptics-augmented software activities in the teaching and learning of high school physics. Pilot study results are reported, which yielded positive feedback and suggestions for project improvement from high school physics students and teachers.

Biology learning is highly recommended to be presented contextually following daily experience and phenomena. This study, a quasi-experimental research using a pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design, aimed to understand the effect of project-based collaborative learning towards the concept mastery of mushrooms. The subjects of the study were 75 tenth grade of high school students in Surakarta City, Indonesia, divided into two classes: 38 students in the experimental class 37 in the control class. In the experimental class, the students were treated with project-based collaborative learning strategies. In project-based collaborative learning strategy, students were challenged to create a project on oyster mushroom cultivation (Pleurotus ostreatus) With the media garden waste such as sawdust. In the control class, the students were treated with direct instruction. The instrument used was a multiple-choice test and essay developed by researchers to measure students' concept mastery towards mushrooms. Research data were analyzed by independent sample t-test. The results found that the average n-gain score for the experimental and the control classes were 63.09% and 45.73%, respectively. Moreover, all indicators of mushroom concept mastery showed the n-gain scores for the experimental class higher than the control class. Analysis of independent sample t-test proved that the significant differences existed between direct instruction and project-based collaborative learning in improving the concept mastery of mushroom. Finally, This research concluded that project-based collaborative learning is more effective in enriching the concept mastery than direct instruction.

Over more than five years, we worked with a group of public school teachers to define, develop, and assess network-based support for collaborative learning in middle school physical science and high school physics. From the outset, we committed to a participatory design approach, in part to explore what issues and possibilities arise when participatory design is pursued more extensively. The nature of our interactions, and in particular the nature of the roles played by the teachers, did change significantly through the course of the project. We suggest that there may be a long-term developmental unfolding of roles and relationships in participatory design.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan model pembelajaran mastery learning (belajar tuntas) terhadap kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematika siswa dikelas X SMA ‘Aisyiyah 1 Palembang. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah true exprimental design dengan desain pretest – posttest control group design, populasi yang digunakan adalah seluruh siswa kelas X yang ada di SMA ‘Aisyiyah 1 Palembang tahun ajaran 2015/2016. Penelitian ini mengambil dua kelas sebagai sampel yang diambil dengan menggunakan teknik cluster random sampling yaitu kelas X4 dengan jumlah 37 siswa sebagai kontrol dan kelas X1 berjumlah 37 siswa sebagai kelas ekprimen. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan instrumen berupa tes kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematika dan observasi kepada siswa. Data yang diperoleh dari hasil tes digunakan untuk menguji hipotesis penelitian dengan menggunakan uji-t. Dari hasil analisis diperoleh bahwa terdapat pengaruh positif penggunaan model pembelajaran mastery learning (belajar tuntas) terhadap kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematika siswa dan hasil rata-rata observasi aktivitas kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematika siswa sebesar 74.This research aims to determine the effect of using the mastery learning models to the mathematical problem solving ability of first grader of 'Aisyiyah 1’s Senior High School Palembang. The type of this research is the true experimental design with the design pretest - posttest control group design, the populations are all first grader of 'Aisyiyah 1’s Senior High School Palembang 2015/2016. This research took two classes as a samples by using the cluster random sampling technique. The classes are X4 with 37 students as a control and X1 with 37 students as a experiment class. The research was conducted of eight meetings. The collection of datas are done by using an instrument which are mathematical problem solving ability test and observation to students. The datas obtained from the test are used to test the research hypothesis by using t-test. From the analysis, this shows that there is positive effect of using the mastery learning to the mathematical problem solving abilities of students and the average result of observation the ability mathematical problem solving is 74.
