This article reports the effectiveness of student-initiated media in teaching speaking to ninth graders of a junior high school. Using a pre-experimental design, this study involved 85 students, being given an experimental treatment in the form of a freedom to choose and use their own media to present an English advertisement, one of the basic competences the students had to master in the semester when the data were being collected. A pre-test in the form of oral interview was given at the beginning of the study, followed by the implementation of the research treatment. At the end of the study, the students took a post-test of a similar format. In other words, the data in this study were in the form of the students’ speaking performance. With the help of SPSS, a test was employed to check the effectiveness of the media. Besides, informal interview with the students show that they felt more relaxed and less anxious when using the media while speaking. It is recommended that teachers make use of such media in the classroom for designing democratic classroom atmosphere so that students experience joyful learning and tend to speak more.

The purpose of this study was to analyze and explore the effectiveness of constructivism approaches in improving mathematical communication skills of junior high school students in the city of Paser. The experimental quasi method was used in this study to test the hypothesis of the study. The sample of the study at three junior high schools in Paser City, representing high, medium and low school students.. The instruments used in this study were pre-post test, pre-post questionnaires, and observation. The data were analyzed using independent sample t-tests, paired sample tests, annova tests, and descriptive analysis. The findings of pre-post test and pre-post questionnaire analysis using t-test showed that there were significant differences in group mathematical communication skills using constructivism approach compared to groups using conventional approaches at all achievement levels of high school students (high, simple and low). Based on the observation, it is found that high achievement school students have good mathematical communication skills in mathematical communication, these are identified in many aspects and observation indicators achieved by students during learning.

This research aimed to find out the student ability in speaking at students at Junior High School 2 Panca Rijang and this study is the result of a report from a case study on the effect of metacognitive teaching on speaking ability of low-ranking junior high school students, the metacognitive strategy influences students' speaking achievement, namely by conducting a pre-test in one group and the design of the post-test was conducted to support the findings in the results of learning speaking after training. In design, observation and qualitative questionnaires were conducted to see the process of students in learning speaking procedural knowledge of metacognition in speaking. This research applying metacognitive strategies that are developed as a way of learning. Subject, selected by simple random sampling, are 20 first grade junior high schools, Comparison of pre-test and post-test scores will show metacognitive strategy can help students who are less skilled improve their speaking skills. The results show the view that metacognitive strategy can help students with speaking skills who are less skilled improve their speaking skills, but from the overall results there still appear to be some limitations for those who are skilled with minimal results.

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.

Setelah mempelajari media pembelajaran yang sudah ada, ditemukan fakta bahwa media pembelajaran masih sederhana dan belum interaktif. Relevan dengan situasi tersebut, diperlukan media pembelajaran untuk menulis teks hasil observasi yang interaktif bermuatan konservasi yang sesuai bagi peserta didik kelas VII SMP, baik dari segi kelayakan isi, penyajian, dan bahasa. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Research and Development (penelitian dan pengembangan) dari Borg dan Gall (2003:570). Media pembelajaran interaktif ini terdiri dari empat menu yaitu permainan, kompetensi inti dan kompetensi dasar, materi, dan soal. Media pembelajaran interaktif dalam pembelajaran menulis teks hasil observasi bermuatan konservasi untuk siswa SMP kelas VII dinyatakan valid oleh ahli dan praktisi dengan skor rata-rata 3 (tiga) yang dikategorikan baik. Hasil uji keefektifan media pembelajaran interaktif dalam pembelajaran menulis teks hasil observasi bermuatan konservasi untuk siswa SMP kelas VII menyatakan media permainan interaktif ini efektif dengan bukti data uji t yang menyatakan adanya perbedaan signifikan hasil pretes dan postes. Kata Kunci: konservasi; media pembelajaran interaktif; peseta didik; teks hasil observasi   Abstract Writing an observation report is one of materials in the 2013 curriculum and it needs to be mastered by students. Meanwhile, the most frequent problem which arises during learning process is learning which does not trigger students’ enthusiasm. Interactive learning media can create an effective learning process since the media can trigger students’ enthusiasm. After studying about available learning media, it is found a fact that the learning media are still not sophisticated and interactive.  Based on that situation, an interactive learning media to write an observation report is needed for seventh grade of junior high school students. The researcher emphasizes on the content, delivery, and language of the media. The method used in this research is Research and Development by Borg dan Gall (2003:570). This interactive learning media consists of four menus, namely games, core competencies and basic competencies, materials, and exercises. This interactive learning media used to write a conservative observation report for junior high school students is valid according to experts and practitioners. It has an average score of three (3) which is categorized as good. The effectiveness test of interactive learning media used to write conservative observation reports for seventh grade of junior high school students shows that this media is effective. It is proven by t test which states the significant results of pre-test and post-test. Keywords: conservative, interactive learning media, students, observation reports
