The study describes a music teacher's experience teaching a voice-rhythm ensemble in a Japanese elementary school by utilizing Gordon's instructional template (IT). The IT is a seven-step template used to map a democratically based pedagogy. In this study, 32 (N=32) fifth graders were divided in four groups. The first lesson began with students listening to several musical selections that did not include any melodies. The students then sung a voice-rhythm ensemble called Yasainokimochi, which is constructed just by syllables without any melodies. Finally, small groups of students created and arranged an original voice-rhythm ensemble. During this lesson sequence, the teacher used Gordon's IT to facilitate student-teacher and peer discussions. As a part of the IT process, students and the teacher also reflected on the learning sequence and listened to one another in building the desired musical outcome. An underlying foundation of this classroom is to imbue in students the kyosei principles of understanding each other, leaving nobody out, and making friends.

This article provides a glimpse into the work of fifth graders (ages 10–11) on a problem involving logical necessity. The research was part of a one-year collaboration between a university professor and his former student, a veteran teacher of twenty-plus years' experience, in an independent midwestern elementary school. The school's curriculum focuses on “teaching for understanding,” and problem solving plays an important role throughout the pupils' experiences. This is one of a series of reports on the various activities that resulted from this collaboration.

This study aimed to improve the experimental report writing skills through the discovery learning method of the fifth graders of  Muhammadiyah Sapen Elementary School Yogyakarta. This study was classroom action research. The subjects were 26 students of the fifth grade. The techniques for collecting data were observation, task, and documentation. The instruments of the data collection were observation sheets and writing performance. The result of this study showed that the process approach with the discovery learning method could improve the experimental report writing skills of the fifth-grade students of Muhammadiyah Sapen Elementary School Yogyakarta. It could be seen from the result of students’ observation sheet and writing performance. The observation result indicated the increase of the process and result of experimental report writing skills with the average score of 74.88 in Cycle I to 89.38 in Cycle II. The percentage of the Minimum Criteria for Mastery Learning in Cycle I was 60% and increased to 96% in Cycle II, with 24 the students achieved the mastery level and one failed. This showed that the students’ classical mastery was achieved.

<p>This research purposes to improve the movements of the fifth graders of the elementary school SD Negeri 1 Panggung Barat Magetan by applying the Gymnastic Video of “SenamKesegaranJasmani (SKJ)” 2012. This is a Classroom Action Research (CAR). The source of data are the fifth graders of SDN I Panggung Barat Magetan as many as 30. Data were collected through tests and observation. They are qualitatively described and the percentage of the distribution is provided. Results show that applying the SKJ video improved the movements of the fifth graders of SDN I Panggung Barat Magetan as indicated by the tests on their movements before and after the application of the video. The descriptive qualitative analysis improvements were visible on the cycle I, II and III in which there were three action meetings. In the first cycle it focused on the warming up, core and cooling-down movements. In the final meeting of the first cycle, a test was administered. In the first cycle it found improvement of 30% out of the 30 students i.e. 9 students. In the second cycle was reflection on the first cycle and another movement was added. In this cycle the emphasis was on the core movements and repeating the warming up and introducing the cooling-down ones. In thi final meeting of this cycle, a test was administered and all students took part. The second cycle witnessed improvement of 60%, 19 out of 30 students. The third cycle was a reflection on the second cycle in addition to another movement introduction. This cycle emphasized on the cooling-down movements and repetition on the warming up and core movements. In the final meeting, a test was administered to know whether or not the students improved. All of them participated. In this cycle it was found improvement of 75%, or 23 out of 30 students. However, there were 25 of them who could perform correctly. The percentage, therefore, changes into 80%. This is higher than the expected one on the third cycle. It is also revealed that 19.4% or 6 students were not able to perform the gymnastic correctly.</p><p> </p><p>Key words: SKJ 2012 Video, Gymnastic Movements<em></em></p>

The COVID-19 pandemic affected in-person learning worldwide due to fears that schools could contribute to the propagation of the virus within their communities. Using computational modeling, we compare the reopening of schools with mitigation measures with a strategy in which schoolchildren are segregated into small isolated groups or bubbles, where children physically interact without restrictions while receiving remote instruction from their teachers. This strategy is robust to common perturbations and is more flexible and stable than reopening of schools. Our modeling results and a real-world implementation of a bubbles program in an elementary school in Mexico City support that this strategy is an effective transition alternative, especially in communities with low vaccination rates or where operational costs associated to safely reopening schools cannot be afforded.

This research based on the fact that how low Math’s result study is. That is why the researcher applied Gallery Walk and Picture and Picture method. The aim of this study is to figure out the influence of Gallery Walk’s method implementation and Picture and Picture toward the Math’s result study. The method used was quasi experiment with the static group pretest-postest design. The population in this research was all the student of fifth grader in Pasirgaok 02 elementary school. This research used nonprobability sampling as the technique of sampling which consisted of the saturated sample from two classes experiment. This research used observation, test and questionnaire as the technique of collecting data. According to the analysis result, the average score of posttest class of experiment 1 was 69,5 and the experiment two was 74,8. The result of One Sample T-test was sig 0.00, thus, it was rejected since 0.00 < 0.05 which means the method of Gallery Walk influenced toward the result study of the student. There was a difference in both method through independent T test, sig (2-tailed) 0,05 which rejected to emphasize the difference. So that, there was an influence of Gallery Walk’s method implementation and Picture and Picture toward the Math’s result studyof the fifth graders of Pasirgaok 02 elementary school.Keywords : Gallery Walk and Picture and Picture method, Math’s result study

Complex Argumentation

This paper describes a study of mathematical argumentation in primary school. The principal aim is to explore the nature of complex argumentation at a structural level. The context of the study was a teaching experiment involving nine tasks that promoted argumentation among fifth graders. We use the framework and method of reconstructing complex argumentation in the classroom proposed by Knipping (2008). The findings show that complex argumentation at a structural level in the context of refuting conclusions is characterized by a source-like structure with the addition of a new refutation argument element.Handle: http://hdl.handle.net/10481/57623Scopus record and citations
