Approach To Teaching

For more than a decade, Australian educational systems have been trying to implement curriculum based on an outcomes approach to teaching and learning. A major difficulty in this process has been in applying the approach to the assessment of students’ learning. It has been recognized that teachers require considerably more support in access to information, collection of data, and analysis of data. Much of this support will need to be provided through appropriate computer systems, more than likely using networkable portable devices. Unfortunately research and development into the implementation of such support is in its infancy although the technology is widely available. This chapter describes a pilot project that tested the use of personal digital assistant to collect and analyze assessment data at the point of demonstration of the learning outcome by the student and then provides a background and rationale for continuing research in the area.

ABSTRAKMengajar adalah pekerjaan guru sehari-hari. Namun demikian, mengajar bagaimana siswa belajar, ternyata tidaklah mudah. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian dan pengembangan (Research and Development) atau  yang biasa disebut  dengan RnD, yang bertujuan memberikan contoh nyata bagaimana cara mengajar dan menanamkan kesiapsiagaan bencana gempabumi pada masyarakat sekolah secara sederhana dan menyenangkan dengan model pembelajaran kesiapsiagaan bencana. Hasil penelitian berupa desain model pembelajaran kesiapsiagaan  bencana gempabumi dan struktur pembelajaran yang merupakan penerapan pendekatan saintifik pada kesiapsiagaan bencana. Penelitian ini berdasarkan pengembangan dan pengalaman tim peneliti dalam mengajar dan melakukan penelitian pada kepala sekolah, guru dan peserta didik di SD Negeri 6 Mataram. SD Negeri 6 Mataram merupakan pilot project dari penelitian ini dan akan diterapkan pada sekolah-sekolah lain di daerah kota, pesisir dan pegunungan di pulau Lombok. Respon kepala sekolah dan bapak ibu guru terhadap model pembelajaran kesiapsigaan ini sangat positif, dimana 95% menyatakan sangat tertarik dan hanya 5% yang menyatakan tertarik. Peserta didik sangat antusias dan terlibat aktif selama proses pembelajaran dan mereka merasakan manfaat yang berarti dari pembelajaran kesiapsigaan ini. Hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa model pembelajaran kesiapsigaan ini dapat menjadi acuan dalam menanamkan kesiapsigaan bencana pada masyarakat sekolah. Kata Kunci : model pembelajaran kesiapsiagaan gempabumi; sekolah dasar; pulau Lombok; bencana ABSTRACTTeaching is every teacher’s daily job. Despite this, though, teaching in the way that students learn is not an easy thing to do. This research is a Research and Development—also known as RnD—study, aimed to give a real life example of how a teacher can teach and embed the awareness about natural disaster in an uncomplicated and fun way, by using disaster mitigation model of teaching. The study results in one design of disaster mitigation model of teaching and a teaching structure implementing scientific approach on disaster mitigation. This research is based on the development and real life experience of the researcher team in teaching and doing observation and research on the headmaster, teachers, and students of SD Negeri 6 Mataram. SD Negeri 6 Mataram is the pilot project of this study, which in return will be implemented in other schools in the urban, coastal area, as well as mountanious area in Lombok Island. The result shows that the headmaster and the teachers’ response towards disaster mitigation model of teaching had been really positive, with only 5% of the teachers claims that they are interested, whilst the other 95% claims that the study is extremely interesting for them. The students were very enthusiastic and active during the learning process. In addition, the claim to have meaningful benefit from this mitigation learning. This thus indicated that this disaster model of teaching and learning can be used as a guide or reference in embedding the awareness for natural disaster among school community. Keywords: model of learning; disaster awareness; primary school; earthquake

The purpose of this study was to increase the learning outcomes of IPA in the Ecosystem Balance mate-rial through the application of the Contextual Teaching And Learning (CTL) learning model for class VI students of SD Negeri 1 Manggeng for the 2017/2018 academic year. The research methodology is Classroom Action Research (CAR) consisting of two cycles and each cycle consisting of two findings. Each cycle consists of planning, implementing, observing and reflecting. The data collection technique is to collect test scores that are carried out at the end of each lesson in each cycle using a question in-strument (written test). The learning outcome data were analyzed by means of percentage statistics. The results showed that the completeness of student learning outcomes increased from 66,67% in the first cycle and increased to 83,33% in the second cycle. The application of the Contextual Teaching And Learning (CTL) learning model can increase the learning outcomes of IPA in the Ecosystem Balance material of class VI SD Negeri 1 Manggeng for the 2017/2018 academic year

Method Of Assessment

This paper aims to elicit the different conceptions of Socioscientific Issues (SSI) in formal, non-tertiary STEM lessons. An examination of recent publications in the field of science education was conducted to elicit the most common conceptions of SSI as per the components of STEM lessons, namely: purpose, contents, teaching and learning strategies and assessment. As for purpose, the conceptions elicited have been organized in terms of contributing to citizenship goals, or to scientific competence. As for contents, it was found that SSI are related both to knowledge of science and knowledge about science and linked to skills such as argumentation. In terms of teaching and learning strategies, SSI are mainly associated with Inquiry-Based Learning; and with student engagement techniques such as dilemmas and group discussions. Lastly, performance assessment of student learning processes and results is typical when SSI are conceived as a method of assessment of STEM lessons. This conception sets up strong foundations for the design and evaluation of innovative SSI teaching. It shall also help to open new lines of research establishing connections among applications of SSI in different subjects, cultural contexts and educational systems.

Diverse Context

The increasing linguistic diversity of the students in schools poses a major challenge for inclusive educational systems in which everyone can learn the language of instruction effectively and, likewise, can have access to contents, being language the necessary tool to the latter end. Research suggests that there is a robust connection between interaction and language acquisition. Therefore, there is a need to identify the forms of interaction that are most effective for that purpose. In this sense, a greater emphasis on dialogic teaching and learning that increases quality interactions among students may facilitate the learning process. The present study analyses the implementation of a dialogue-based educational action called Dialogic Literary Gatherings (DLG) to promote teaching and learning Basque, a minority language, in a linguistically diverse context. Our research is an exploratory case study: 9 lessons were video-recorded and 2 interviews were conducted with a group of students and their teacher respectively. Results suggest that the DLG creates affordances for encouraging participation in collaborative interactions in the second language, promoting the inclusion of L2 learners, and fostering literature competence as well as a taste for the universal literature. We discuss the implications of these findings for second language learning.

CENTRALLY prescribed managerialist practices have become part of the assumed processes of secondary school administration. But the logic which linked the new practices for central office bureaucrats was absent in the understandings of teachers in Western Australian secondary schools in 1992. There were substantial differences in the meanings attributed to key concepts and the value ascribed to the required procedures. The implications of these differences are established in this paper, using insights from central office and school personnel. Particular attention is given to the three agendas of school improvement, accountability and participative decision making. The pressure to re-norm the management of schooling has been applied through a range of discursive practices including the use of language, the presumption of meaning and the enforcement of policy. Although claims have been made that these changes have resulted in a more professional approach to teaching and learning, questions remain as to their real impact.
