In learning a language, vocabulary is the most important thing that should be mastered by learners. The English ability of primary school students is very closely related to the vocabulary mastery that they have. This research aims to find the answer to the following questions: 1) How is the application of Guess My Move Game model in learning English in primary grade school students? 2) How the students' English vocabulary mastery improve by using the Guess My Move Game model? and 3) Are there differences in the mastery of English vocabulary in male and female students using Guess My Move Game model? The research method was used in this study is Classroom Action Research with Kemmis and McTaggart design. The total population was 24 students of first primary school grade. The group was divided by gender. Based on the performance of group scores, it indicates that the female group gets the highest score, but the average highest score is achieved by the male groups.

The total sample was 71 students consisting of 35 experimental group students and 36 in the control group in a primary school in Cilegon City, 2016-2017 academic year. In this study, the experimental group consisted of male students using learning with the MI and the control group consisted of female students using learning with the MI approach. Analysis of data obtained from this study, using the Independent Sample t-test and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. The findings of this study indicate that there is a statistically significant difference between the ability of MI in the experimental group and the control group, where the average score experimental group is higher. These results can be seen in the average score of MI ability in the experimental group is higher in visual-spatial, music, logical-mathematical, interpersonal and bodily-kinesthetic intelligence. The average score of MI ability in the control group is higher in verbal-linguistic, naturalistic, and intrapersonal.

This study was conducted with the purpose of analyzing and interpreting the perceptions of 4th grade primary school students studying in the province of Muğla towards science, using the pictures they draw.The study was implemented in the school year of 2015-2016 with 41 4th grade students from the classes A-B at the Toki Ş. J. Yb. Alim Yılmaz Primary School in the province of Muğla. The pictures drawn by the participating students were analyzed semantically and the method of content analysis was used. The study analyzed and interpreted how the students perceived the concept of “Science”, the content they employed in the pictures they drew, whether they were able to establish a connection between Science and their lives, and whether there were differences between male and female students in terms of the content of the pictures they drew. Collaboration was made with three science and technology teachers and two image experts in the analysis. Separate coding lists were formed for each case for the analysis of the qualitative data and the data were coded.In the light of the findings obtained, it was found that 73.6% of male students drew an experiment environment within the theme of laboratory, while 90.9% of the female students did so. It was found that a large proportion of male and female students were influenced by the subjects “our sensory organs”, “technological developments”, “our body and systems”, “classifying matter” and “pollution”, which are included in the curricula.It was concluded that most male and female students perceive the concept of science only in terms of experiments, while this ratio is higher for female students who drew more detailed and colorful environments; they did not think of science outside school and laboratory environments; the connection they established between their lives and science did not exceed the public’s attitude towards this issue, visual stimulants in their surroundings, and what was taught and shown to them by educational institutions; the number of students who used themes other than the drawings and subjects in the textbook was very low; and their levels to relate science and technology class information to daily life were low. Extended English abstract is in the end of PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetBu araştırma, Muğla ilinde öğrenim gören ilkokul 4. Sınıf öğrencilerinin Fen Bilgisine yönelik algılarının çizdikleri resimlerle analiz edilerek yorumlanması amacı ile yapılmıştır.Araştırmanın uygulaması 2015-2016 eğitim-öğretim yılında Muğla ili Toki Ş.J. Yb. Âlim Yılmaz İlkokulunda 4. sınıf A-B şubelerinde öğrenim gören 41 öğrenci ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin çizdikleri resimler anlamsal açıdan incelenmiş ve içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Öğrencilerin “Fen Bilgisi” kavramını nasıl algıladıkları, çizdikleri resimlerde hangi içeriklere yer verdikleri, Fen Bilgisi ve yaşadıkları hayat arasında bağlantı kurup kuramadıkları ve kız ve erkek öğrencilerin çizdikleri resim içeriklerinde farklılıklar olup olmadığı analiz edilmiş ve yorumlanmıştır. Değerlendirme yapılırken üç fen ve teknoloji öğretmeni ve iki resim uzmanı ile çalışılmıştır. Nitel verilerin analizinde her bir durum için ayrı ayrı kodlama listesi çıkarılmıştır ve kodlamalar yapılmıştır.Elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda, erkek öğrencilerin %73,6’sı resimlerinde laboratuvar teması içerisinde deney ortamı resmederken, bu oranın kız öğrencilerde %90,9 olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Kız ve erkek öğrencilerin büyük bir bölümünün müfredat programlarında yer alan “duyu organlarımız”, “teknolojik gelişmeler”, “vücudumuz ve sistemler”, “maddenin sınıflandırılması” ve “çevre kirliliği” konularından etkilendikleri görülmüştür.Kız ve erkek öğrencilerin büyük bir bölümünün fen bilgisi kavramını sadece deney olarak algıladıkları, kız öğrencilerde bu oranın daha yüksek olduğu ve erkek öğrencilere göre daha detay ve renkli ortamlar çizdikleri, fen bilgisini okul ve laboratuvar ortamı dışında düşünmedikleri, yaşamları ve fen bilgisi arasında kurdukları bağın, bu konuda toplum tutumunun, çevrelerindeki görsel uyaranların ve eğitim kurumlarının onlara öğrettikleri ve gösterdiklerinden daha öteye geçemediği, ders kitabında bulunan çizim ve konuların dışında tema işleyen öğrenci sayısının çok az olduğu ve fen ve teknoloji dersi bilgilerini günlük hayatla ilişkilendirme düzeylerinin düşük olduğu tespit edilmiştir.


The aim of this study was to identify the factors associated with school refusal behavior in primary school students. Student’s self-report and teacher’s measures were implemented; and students were recruited from 20 primary schools in six districts in Selangor, Malaysia. The survey was conducted at the end of school term in 2016, with a total of 915 students from Year 4 and Year 5 participating. The sample of students had been absent from school for more than 15% of school days in the current year. Pearson correlation shows a significant relationship between academic achievement and school satisfaction toward school refusal behavior. The findings of this study suggest that academic difficulties and dissatisfaction towards school environment could be the important risk factors for school refusal behavior. The present study underscores the importance of early detection and intervention as measures to reduce school refusal. Finally, the findings imply that the role of school factors should always be taken into account in connection with school refusal behaviour.
