Recent studies are focusing on how social networks impact the learning process and how students organize themselves to face collaborative tasks via these networks, as well as their impact on the learning outcomes of the students. In a number of these studies, learning social aspects are analyzed, showing, among other issues of interest, that participating in social networks positively affects students’ self-esteem. In this article it is shown how this applies to the university model being adopted in Europe. Nowadays, the student is limited by the class and by the restricted group of people enrolled in that same university degree. In which way can the university facilitate that students get to each other so that they can find aspects in common and therefore the set of relationships grows? This chapter shows how our university—Universidad de Almería, UAL—globalizes its campus providing access to every student, as well as how this social network is succeeding.

Employing student-driven project work in a higher education setting challenges not only the way in which we understand students’ learning and how we define the expected learning outcomes, it also challenges our ways of assessing students’ learning. This paper will address this question specifically and illustrate with a case that highlights some of the challenges that may arise in practice when assessing student-driven, problem-based projects. The case involved an assessment situation in which a discrepancy arose between the internal and external examiner in relation to what was valued. The discrepancy had consequences not only for the concrete assessment of students’ work, but also for the validity of the problem-based university pedagogy in general, and it raised the question of how to assess students’ work adequately. The research focus of this study was to explore the implications of assessing student-driven projects within a progressive approach to higher education teaching, along with the potential underlying issues. We found a need for clear assessment criteria while insisting on a space for students’ creativity and reflexivity as essential parts of a learning process. The paper thus makes a case for the notion of reflexivity as an assessment criterion to be integrated into learning objectives.

This study aims to describe the learning implementation model during the COVID-19 pandemic at SD Muhammadiyah 3 Pandaan. The research was conducted at SD Muhammadiyah 3 Pandaan City with one of the teachers as resource persons. This research uses descriptive qualitative research. The results of this study are observations of learning models at SD Muhammadiyah 3 Pandaan during the covid-19 pandemic. Learning that is usually carried out in person is now being shifted to distance learning or daring. In the implementation of learning during this pandemic, appropriate and effective learning models are needed to support the success of the teaching and learning process. The application of the learning model is one of the main factors in the learning process. This is because when applying the appropriate learning model, the learning process and learning outcomes will be as expected. There are several factors that support teachers in the learning process, namely the availability of mobile phones, quotas and a stable internet network. In addition to the factors that support bold learning, there are also several inhibiting factors for teachers in bold learning. The inhibiting factors include not all students have cellphones and there are still many parents who are busy working.

The results of learning mathematics at SMPN 4 Sumbang are still low. This is caused by the factors of students who are less active, lazy, and easily bored, while teachers who have difficulty learning students, but students who do not like to learn mathematics. Therefore it is necessary to improve learning outcomes so that researchers apply the PjBL (Project Based Learning) model to enhance the process skills and mathematics learning outcomes of flat side space material. The research objective to be achieved is to find out whether the PjBL learning model can improve the learning process and the learning outcomes of mathematics in flat side space. This research is a Classroom Action Research. Learning tools, namely syllabus, lesson plans, teaching materials, and worksheets. While the research instrument is the description test and observation sheet. The subjects of the research were the students of class VIII C of SMP N 4 Sumbang with 22 students. The study was conducted in February through June 2017. The subject and time of the study were chosen because the researcher taught in the class, and the implementation time was adjusted to the lesson schedule. The research procedure begins with a discussion of the problem, planning of the action, implementing the action and observation, as well as analysis and reflection. The results of research that can answer the problem formulation achieve research objectives and prove research hypotheses about the application of the PjBL learning model can improve the process skills and learning outcomes of mathematics material in the scope of class VIII C students of SMP N 4 Sumbang 2016/2017 school year. This situation is proven by the results of the first cycle of highly competent students as much as 18%, cycle II as much as 45% and cycles III as much as 55%. Student learning outcomes on average 63.64 in the first cycle, 68.73 in the second cycle, and increased again to 75.27 at the end of the third cycle. From these results, it was agreed by the teacher to develop the PjBL learning model in the material that would be presented later to improve student learning outcomes. In contrast, students appreciate enhancing the learning process when learning and better prepare themselves before the learning process begins.

Improving the quality of education will be achieved if the teaching and learning process by the teacher held in the classroom is truly effective and useful for achieving the expected knowledge, attitudes, and skills. Because basically, the teaching and learning process is the core of the overall education process, while the teaching and learning process is carried out in many formal activities in the classroom where the teacher is one of the important factors in determining the success of the teaching and learning process in the classroom. Therefore teachers are required to be able to improve their roles and competencies, competent teachers will be more able to create an effective learning environment and will be more capable of Classroom Action Management so that student learning outcomes are at an optimal level. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of classroom action management on Indonesian learning outcomes, the subject of story listening skills in SD Negeri 1 Kaobula. The method used in this research is quantitative descriptive which is used as a research design that clearly and clearly describes the research variables in the form of numbers and statistics. The population of this research is the fifth-grade students of SD Negeri 1 Kaobula which consists of 24 students. Based on the results of the study, it is concluded that the influence between the X variable (classroom action management) and the Y variable (Civics learning outcomes) has a strong influence between the two variables. If we look at the amount of oxy obtained, namely: 0, 620 it turns out to be between 0.40. 0.60. It can be stated that the correlation between variable X and variable Y is a relatively strong influence. Thus, the authors can simply give an interpretation of the oxy, namely that there is a significant positive effect between variable X and variable Y.
