Politically polarizing issues are generally avoided in ELT materials. However, as political divides grow wider around the world, it is the responsibility of teachers to tackle these tough topics and inform their students about them. In this study, I conducted a 2-month unit on American slavery for Japanese high school EFL learners (N = 31). The goal was to impart to students the historical knowledge necessary to understand race relations in America today and then apply those lessons to their own lives. The film Twelve Years a Slave (McQueen, 2013), the accompanying graded reader (Rollason, 2014) and a teacher-made workbook were the main materials used. Each step of the unit is introduced and student learning outcomes are analyzed. Test results and response papers indicated that students were largely able to acquire the target language and understand the text but had variable success in comprehending the themes and deeper concepts of the unit. 政治的に意見の分かれる題材は、一般的に英語教授法の教材としては避けられてきた。しかし、政治的分断が世界で広がる中、教師が生徒にそれらの難しい題材を提示し、考えさせることは教師の責務であるといえる。本論では、日本人高校生の英語学習者(N=31)に対して、米国の奴隷制度について2ヵ月間の授業を実施した。目的は、米国における人種間の関係性を理解するために必要な歴史的知識を生徒に伝え、そこから得られた教訓を生徒自身が活かすことができるようにすることである。映画『それでも夜は明ける』(McQueen, 2013)、その関連の段階別リーダー本(Rollason, 2014)、教師作成のワークブックを主な教材として使用した。授業の各段階を紹介し、学習成果を分析する。試験結果と感想文からは多くの生徒が目的言語を習得し、文章を理解することができたが、授業の主題とより深いコンセプトの理解についてはばらつきがあることが示された。

Teaching material is the most important part in the world of education. Because of thist research aims to develop teaching materials that can be used as a source of learning in schools. Teaching material developed in the form of modules converts folklore texts into fantasy texts. This module is used as a companion for teachers in delivering fantasy text and folklore material. The module that was developed has been through the validation test and effectiveness test. Based on the results of the validation test on the feasibility of graphics, the feasibility of the material, the feasibility of the language, and the feasibility of the overall presentation can be implemented. While the effectiveness test results show there is a significant increase in student learning outcomes.

<p>This study aims to determine the implementation of Problem-Based Learning in Mathematics, as well as determine the increase motivation, creativity and mastery of the concept of student learning outcomes through the implementation of Problem-Based Learning in Class 5A SDS Lentera Harapan Curug. Subjects were students in class 5A in SDS Lentera Harapan by the number of students by 36 students consisting of 19 female students and 17 male students. The study was conducted using a model of classroom action research conducted three cycles, each cycle consisting of four stages: planning, action, observation and reflection. The data collection is done by using observation observer, student test results, and additional instruments such as interview sheets, sheet learning motivation and creativity sheet. The results showed that the Problem Based Learning Math can help the learning process. Stages Problem Based-Learning helps students to understand the issues in the matter and the process to get a response. The development is seen in students' motivation in cycle 1 to cycle 3 to increase. Creativity and mastery of the concept of student learning outcomes have not been able to increase in cycle 1 to cycle 3 with entirely due process of problem-based learning-Learning newly conceived and performed by students. Math learning outcome of the results of the summative second cycle in which more than 70% the number of students successfully meet the KKM.</p>

This study aims to determine the effect of the Take and Give learning model on student learning outcomes with the PrajaMuda Karana theme in grade III SD RK Budi Luhur Medan. The research method used is an experimental method with quantitative research. To obtain the required data, data collection was used in the form of a test of 30 questions, a questionnaire of 17 statements, and documentation. The research at SD RK Budi Luhur Medan in class III was carried out from 17 to 18 May 2021. The number of samples was 30 students based on saturated sampling technique, based on the analysis, the pre test results were obtained with an average score of 68.73 in the sufficient category, the post test results with a score of 68.73. an average of 86.7 in very good category and the Take and Give learning model questionnaire with an average value of 63.3% in the high category. The results of the correlation analysis of the effect of the Take and Give learning model on student learning outcomes obtained a correlation value of rcount = 0.578 with rtable = 0.361. Thus, the value of rcount is greater than the value of rtable, so the correlation is very significant. Hypothesis testing with t-test obtained tcount = 3.268 with ttable = 1.697 at a significant level of 0.05. It can be concluded that there is an effect of the Take and Give learning model on student learning outcomes with the theme of PrajaMuda Karana for grade III SD RK Budi Luhur Medan Denai.

Education is a necessity for everyone. Educational activities are activities that are very important in human life and cannot be separated from their lives. With education, human needs regarding change and development can be fulfilled. The mean score of the pre-test results was 71.73, while the mean value of the post-test results was 79.61. From these data it can be seen that the pre-test result value is lower than the post-test score, so it can be interpreted that there are differences in student learning outcomes before and after using image media in the learning process. the completeness of the pre-test result value is 46.15%, while the post-test result value is 80.76%. From this data, it can be seen that using image media can affect student learning outcomes. Then from the hypothesis testing using the Product Moment Correlation test and the Paired Sample T-test with the help of SPSS 20 software in the sig (2-tailed) section, it isknown that 0.000 <0.05 The condition is if r count is smaller than r table, then H0 is accepted. and Ha is rejected and vice versa if r count is greater than r table (r count> r table) then H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. In fact, r count (0.977) is greater than r table (0.404). Thus H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. As the basis for decision making in the Product Moment Correlation test and decision guidelines based on the probability value, it can be concluded that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. This means that image media can affect the improvement of learning outcomes in Arabic language material for class VII at MTs. Muhammadiyah 12Palirangan

Rekognisi: Jurnal Pendidikan dan Kependidikan Volume 1, No.1, Tahun 2016 PGSD Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Sumatera Utara The purpose of this study are: (a) to know how to use the media image in improving student learning outcomes in social studies learning the material diversity of tribes and cultures in Indonesia (b) to determine student learning outcomes in social studies material diversity of tribes and cultures Indonesia using media images. Media used in this study is the media image, ie an image of the diversity of tribes and cultures in Indonesia, such as image custom homes, traditional clothing, traditional weapons and traditional dances from all regions in Indonesia. The test is performed three times the initial test (pretest), test results of studying the first cycle and the second cycle. Based on data analysis, which showed that: (1) difficulties faced by students in social studies learning are: students who have not been able to explain the contents of the image due to lack of confidence developed in the classroom and explain the contents of the image to a friend, (2) how to use media images in learning social studies in the first cycle that, the teacher explains the material diversity of tribes and cultures in Indonesia by using an image, then the teacher asked students to comment on the pictures, and the second cycle the teacher asks the students to form groups and work the assignment of teachers in groups and provide individual training. (3) At the beginning of the test (pre-test) the ability of the student in completing the material diversity of tribes and cultures in Indonesia is low. I learned on the test results of 37 students who take the test, there are 18 students or 48.64% were thoroughly studied and are not thoroughly studied as many as 19 students or 51.36%. In the second cycle of learning outcomes, from 37 students who take the test are 35 students or 94.60% were thoroughly studied, and there are 2 students or 5.40% were not thoroughly studied. It can be concluded that the use of media images can improve student learning outcomes.
