Availability Management

This descriptive research is intended to make a mapping of the availability and utilization of information systems and leadership of school principals in Public Elementary School in Pekanbaru - Riau. The formulation of problems to be answered are: (1) How is the availability and utilization of information systems in public elementary schools in Pekanbaru - Riau? and (2) How is the leadership of the school principals in the public elementary school in Pekanbaru - Riau? There are 12 districts in Pekanbaru - Riau and each district has a different number of public elementary schools. Through a proportional random sampling technique, 66 school principals were selected as samples. The instrument used was a questionnaire addressed to the principals. The principals are asked to give their response to the questionnaire given and they are free to choose one or more answers for each item according to their situation and condition. The data obtained were then analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis. The results of the data analysis showed that: (1) the information system available at school was rated positively by the principals, whether in terms of availability, management, or perceived benefits; and (2) in carrying out their leadership, their roles and functions as supervisors, managers and educators occupy the highest position.

Learning Interest

This study aims to integrate the local wisdom of the traditional engklek game into problem-solving-based mathematics learning at the elementary school level. The method used in this study is a mixed-method with an explanatory design. The data analysis technique used in this study was random sampling and data collection was carried out by distributing observation sheets about student process skills, student learning interest questionnaires and conducting interviews with students and teachers at the school. Based on the results obtained by the researchers, it can be found that there is interest in learning and skills of students in grades IV A and IV B in the engklek game in mathematics subjects at State Elementary Schools. In addition, there is a relationship between students' interest in learning and students' process skills in mathematics subjects at State Elementary Schools. Key words: Mmathematics, local Wisdom, engklek games, iinterest, process skills, elementary School.

Significant Difference

The present research investigated depression in children with and without mothers. Differences in depression scores were tested by gender, socio-economic level, the cause of not having a mother, and the age of separation. The sample included 300 fourth and fifth grade elementary school children. Among them, there were 150 children (68 boys and 82 girls) who were living with their mothers and 150 (68 boys and 82 girls) who did not live with their mothers. Each group had an equal number of students ( n = 50) representing three different socio-economic levels (i.e., low, middle, high). Students in the sample came from 39 different public elementary schools. Children's ages varied between 10 and 12 years ( M = 10.8, SD = .6). Teachers, administrators, and school counselors were asked to identify children without mothers. The children who were living with their mothers were randomly chosen. Results showed significant differences in depression between the two groups of children. Furthermore, there was a significant difference by socio-economic level. Depression of children without mothers is significantly associated with the cause of not having a mother and the age when the child was separated from the mother.

The Impact

Objective: Power Up for 30 (PU30) is a schoolwide intervention that encourages schools to provide an additional 30 minutes of physical activity during the school day, beyond physical education. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of PU30 on Georgia public elementary schools and their students. Methods: A total of 719 of 1320 public elementary schools in Georgia that were sent a baseline survey about school physical activity during October 2013 to September 2014 completed the survey, 160 of which were asked to complete a second survey. In the interim (March to June 2015), half (80) of these schools implemented the PU30 program. The interim surveys, which were completed during March to June 2015, assessed opportunities for student physical activity and staff member professional development focused on student physical activity. Results: Compared with schools that had not implemented the program, more schools using the PU30 program reported offering before- and after-school physical activity programs. Forty-four of 78 (57%) PU30 schools compared with 20 of 53 (38%) non-PU30 schools offered before-school physical activity programs. Likewise, more PU30 schools than non-PU30 schools offered after-school physical activity programs (35% vs 16%), and a greater proportion of students at PU30 schools compared with non-PU30 schools met fitness benchmarks: recess 5 days per week (91% [288 of 323] vs 80% [273 of 341]), offering ≥11 minutes per day of classroom-based physical activity (39% [53 of 136] vs 25% [47 of 189] for kindergarten through second grade; 20% [37 of 187] vs 6% [9 of 152] for grades 3 through 5), and receiving physical activity–related professional development time (42% [136 of 323] vs 14% [48 of 341]). Conclusions: The surveys provided a statewide picture of the physical activity opportunities offered to students and staff members in Georgia elementary schools and demonstrated the effective use of a comprehensive, multicomponent program to offer more school-based physical activity opportunities and to improve student fitness.

Everyday Problems

Mathematical literacy requires individuals to solve a problem and also apply mathematics in everyday problems, which results in the ability to interpret solutions to those problems. In PISA it is known that Indonesia's mathematics literacy score is among the lowest, as well as in Guguk District Lima Puluh Kota Regency. One way to overcome this is to start introducing literacy to students early on. The introduction of literacy must be instilled in students since they are still in elementary school. Based on this, a training program and workshop was held regarding the application of mathematical literacy in mathematics learning in elementary schools in Guguak District with elementary school mathematics teacher partners who are members of the KKG SD Gugus III Kecamatan Guguak Kabupaten Lima Puluh Kota.
