The Given

In this study, it is aimed to examine and analyze the problems posed by eighth grade students for different forms of representation. In the study, it was also examined how the problems posed by the students differed according to their academic success. 54 eighth grade students selected by appropriate sampling participated in the study, which was designed as a case study, one of the qualitative research methods. The data of the research were obtained with the “Problem Posing Test” developed by the researcher and the “Mathematics Achievement Test” consisting of exam questions prepared by the Ministry of National Education. Silver and Cai’s (1996) analysis scheme was used to analyze the obtained data. According to the findings, it was seen that only 44% of the answers given by the students were solvable problems suitable for the given ones. While most of the problems posed in the desired direction were of “low” mathematical nature in terms of mathematical complexity, it was seen that they were in the “conditional” category in terms of linguistic complexity. It has been found that students are more successful in posing problems for table and verbal representation, compared to picture and symbolic representation. It has been observed that as students' mathematical achievements increase in representations other than symbolic representation, their rate of posing a problem suitable for the given ones also increases.

<p>In this study, the effect of using computer games in an English teaching classof the 8th grade students in secondary school is investigated. A total of 112 8th grade students, 57 in the experimental group and 55 in the control group, participated in the study. Academic Achievement Tests prepared by Ministry of National Education, Measurement, Evaluation and Exam Services Department were used as pre-test and post-test. Eight of the games, which were prepared specifically for Grade 8 students, were used in the Experimental Information Network (EBA). Preliminary tests as covariant, final tests as dependent variables and applied to groups of teaching and traditional teaching were discussed as independent variables. According to the one-way covariance analysis (COVARIANCE) results, it was found that the game was more effective than traditional teaching and this effect was moderate. In addition, it was determined that 36% of the final test scores of the students learning the game were explained by the game.</p>

The main purpose of the current study is to investigate middle school students&rsquo; math self-efficacy perceptions and math problem posing attitudes. The sample of the study is comprised of 990 fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grade students attending middle school in the Fethiye district of the city of Muğla. As the data collection tool, the &ldquo;Math Self-efficacy Perception Scale&rdquo; and the &ldquo;Math Problem Posing Attitude Scale&rdquo; were used. In the analysis of the data collected through the qualitative research method, frequencies, percentages, independent-samples t-test, one-way variance analysis, post-hoc tests (Scheffe and Dunnett&rsquo;s C) and correlation analysis were used. As a result, it was found that the middle school students&rsquo; math self-efficacy perceptions and math problem posing attitudes are over the medium level. The middle school students&rsquo; self-efficacy perceptions were found to be varying significantly depending on gender. The middle school students&rsquo; problem posing attitudes were found to be varying significantly depending on gender. The math self-efficacy perceptions and math problem posing attitudes of the 5th and 6th grade students were found to be significantly higher than those of the 7th and 8th grade students. A medium, positive and significant correlation was found between the middle school students&rsquo; mean math self-efficacy perception score and their mean math problem posing attitude score.

The study aimed to identify the impact of using the Previous and acquired knowledge strategy in increasing the achievement for eighth grade students, the study depends on semi-experimental approach. The sample of study consists of tow section of 8th grade in Al-thamnah primary school for girls in directorate of aqaba during the year 2018-2019,and the random assignment (1) as an experimental group will be 30 students and the division (2) as a group of officers formed of 30 students. In order to achieve the objective of the study , the study tool was constructed to test the achievement and after verifying its validity and stability it was applied to the sample of the beginning of the study and after the study group. The result of the single unit variance (ANCOVA) showed that there were statistically significant differences between the student response to the test of the acquisition of achievement due to the variable method of teaching and the strategy of the Previous and acquired knowledge comparing with usuall method. The researcher recommended the possibility of training teachers to use strategy of the Previous and acquired knowledge and model in teaching science because it proved its effectiveness and recommended conducting study on the introduction of other teaching methods of comparison in the achievement.

 This research developed English Instructional materials for character building based on 2013 Curriculum. The research was carried out in a class of 8th graders of SMP Darul Falah Blitar.  The 23 students were involved in this research in the phase of obtaining information, needs analysis and trying out. The result of needs analysis became the basis of how the researcher composed the English instructional materials with Scientific Approach, official approach of 2013 Curriculum. In the product, an English textbook, the four skills are balance improved; listening, speaking, reading and writing. All of the materials are appropriate with 2013 Curriculum and the contents refer to students’ character building. The materials are for a year of 8th grade which are packaged into seven units. All the steps of learning and exercises in the materials are based on Scientific Approach which has five steps: observing, associating, experimenting, associating and communicating.
