The TPACK framework provides researchers with a robust framework for conducting research on technology integration in authentic environments, i.e., intact classrooms engaged in standards-aligned instruction. Researchers who wish to identify the value added by a promising technology-supported instructional strategy will need to assess student learning outcomes in these environments; unfortunately, collecting valid and reliable data on student learning in classroom research is extremely difficult. To date, few studies using TPACK in K-12 classrooms have included student learning outcomes in their research questions, and researchers are therefore left without models to guide their development, implementation, and analysis of assessments. This chapter draws upon the literature and our own research and assessment experiences in technology-integrated, standards-aligned classroom instruction to give examples and advice to researchers as they develop, analyze, and write up their observations of student learning outcomes. In particular, we focus on standard items, specifically multiple choice items, as an accepted (if limited) method for assessing student understanding. We seek to fill an existing gap in the literature between assessment advice for educational psychologists (who typically work outside of classroom settings) and advice given to teachers (who have lower thresholds for issues such as validity and reliability). Classroom researchers will benefit from this advice to develop, validate, and apply their own objective assessments. We focus on the content areas of science and social studies, but this advice can be applied to others as well.

This research is motivated by the low learning outcomes of grade 3 students at SDN 2 Cidolog on social studies subjects. This is by teaching social studies the teacher always uses conventional and monotonous learning media, while students are asked to memorize information that has been heard from their teacher. While social studies learning is required to develop students' thinking abilities, so students can become active can also solve a problem. In an effort to improve student learning outcomes, researchers used Mind Tree Mapping Network Tree Type. The method used is the Classroom Action Research Method (CAR) model of Kurt Lewin. Data collection techniques used were interviews, observation and tests. After conducting research, the authors conclude that: Student learning outcomes in social studies have increased as in the first cycle that is obtained an average value of 72.7 students with 9 complete criteria and 9 incomplete as many people. Cycle II, the average value of students was 83.6 with 13 students completing criteria and 5 students who were unfinished and Cycle III, 91.3 students with an average criterion of 17 students and 1 student who were incomplete

This research is motivated by the low student learning outcomes in social studies learning in the third class of MIS Handapherang Buy and Sell. In addition, students' lack of interest in social studies learning is due to teacher-centered learning not to students. So that social studies are considered saturated and boring lessons. In an effort to improve student learning outcomes, researchers used the Learning Strategy to Increase Thinking Ability (SPPKB). The method used is the class action research method (PTK) model of Kurt Lewin. Data collection techniques used are observation, test or assessment techniques and description analysis techniques. After conducting research, the results of the study can be obtained as follows: 1) The ability of teachers to design social studies learning plans in the first cycle is 84; cycle II is 87; cycle III is 92.1. 2) The skills of teachers in teaching in the first cycle amounted to 84.6; cycle II is 89.4; the third cycle is 93.3. 3) Student learning outcomes in the first cycle of 72.5; cycle II is 86.6; cycle III is 95. This proves that SPPKB can improve student learning outcomes on social studies subjects in the class III MIS Buy and Sell Handapherang. The results of the analysis indicate that the proposed hypothesis is acceptable

The phenomenon of low student learning outcomes from observations of researchers in the field is caused by several factors, such as: (1) The learning carried out by the teacher still uses conventional learning, namely the teacher lectures in delivering material, questions and answers and assignments, so it does not provide encouragement for students to study seriously ; (2) In delivering learning, the teacher still places students as recipients so that students are passive and only wait for information from the teacher without trying to find it. This can be seen when the teacher asks for students' opinions, only a few students give opinions and ask questions about things that are not understood; (3) This is also due to the lack of teacher knowledge about learning strategies that can activate students; (4) Teachers do not provide opportunities for students to work together in doing their assignments with their friends. This makes researchers feel the need to improve the learning process with efforts made to apply an appropriate learning model, namely the Think Pair Share Type cooperative learning model. This type gives students time to think and respond and help each other. Cooperative learning Think Pair Share is a cooperative learning model that allows students to help each other and cooperate with one another. Through this model students are more enthusiastic in learning so that they can increase the achievement of optimal learning outcomes. The formulation of the problem is as follows: "Does the student learning outcomes increase through the application of the Think Pair Share type of cooperative learning model for fourth grade students of SD Negeri 6 Sukajadi, Pekanbaru City?". The purpose of this study was to determine the improvement of social studies learning outcomes through the application of the Think Pair Share Type Cooperative learning model for class IV SDN 6 Sukajadi, Pekanbaru City. Based on the data that has been presented above, it is concluded that the application of the Think Pair Share (TPS) cooperative learning model can improve social studies learning outcomes for fourth grade students of SD Negeri 6 Sukajadi (the average student learning outcomes through cycle I is 62.25, while in the second cycle the average student learning outcomes of 76.25)
