This qualitative study was designed to explore how teachers are using Microsoft Forms to improve student learning outcomes in primary and secondary school classrooms. Twenty-two teachers —both experienced and new Forms users— participated in an interview about how they used Forms in their teaching. This report provides concrete examples of teachers’ use of Forms and describes their support needs for starting to use this tool in the classroom. School leaders and instructional technology coaches can use the report to inform implementation plans and training on Microsoft Forms.

Abstract: Physics is one of the subjects that students consider difficult. This can be seen from the learning outcomes of students at SMAN 1 Pagaden Class X IPA 4, where the majority of students score below the KKM (minimum completeness criteria). Of the 36 students in class X IPA 4 in physics, only about 12 students got a complete score. Of course, this situation should get serious attention to improve student learning outcomes. One of the efforts made to improve learning outcomes is through authentic assessment. In this assessment, all student activities will be observed and rated according to their respective portions. This research is a descriptive qualitative study with a two-cycle model that is characteristic of Classroom Action Research. From the research results it was revealed that with authentic assessment of physics learning in Class X IPA 4 SMAN 1 Pagaden there was an increase in each cycle. In the first cycle, the students' average score on the skills aspect was around 71% and increased in the second cycle to 80%. So that the use of authentic assessment is one of the references as an effort to improve student learning outcomes. Abstrak: Fisika merupakan salah satu mata pelajaran yang dianggap sulit oleh siswa. Hal ini ini dapat terlihat dari hasil belajar siswa di SMAN 1 Pagaden Kelas X IPA 4 yang mayoritas siswa mendapatkan nilai di bawah KKM (kriteria ketuntasan minimum). Dari 36 siswa di kelas X IPA 4 dalam pelajaran fisika, hanya sekitar 12 siswa yang mendapatkan nilai tuntas. Tentu saja, keadaan ini harus mendapatkan perhatian serius untuk meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa. Salah satu upaya yang dilakukan untuk meningkatkan hasil belajar yaitu melalui penilaian autentik. Dalam penilaian ini, seluruh aktivitas siswa akan diamati dan diberi nilai sesuai dengan porsinya masing-masing. Penelitian ini bersifat kualitatif deskriptif dengan model dua siklus yang menjadi ciri khas dari Penelitian Tindakan Kelas. Dari hasil penelitian terungkap bahwa dengan penilaian autentik pada pembelajaran fisika di Kelas X IPA 4 SMAN 1 Pagaden terjadi peningkatan pada setiap siklusnya. Pada siklus pertama rata-rata siswa mendapatkan nilai pada aspek keterampilan sekitar 71% dan naik pada siklus kedua menjadi 80%. Sehingga penggunaan penilaian autentik merupakan salah satu rujukan sebagai upaya untuk meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa.

Volcanology education is important for the development of geoscientists and scientifically literate citizens. We surveyed 55 volcanology instructors to determine their learning and teaching practices, perceptions of academic development, and educational support needs. Instructors reported using a wide range of practices and tools, but lectures, field experiences, maps, rock samples, academic literature, and inherited teaching materials are the most common. Instructors valued educational support from others (e.g., talking with colleagues and students, consulting with learning and teaching specialists) over conducting their own investigations. However, they did not report engaging in as many of these activities as they valued. Instructors requested more support in resource sharing and collation, conference workshops, and co-creation of resources and educational research. We suggest that instructors and academic development staff work together to share and build knowledge in the learning and teaching of volcanology in higher education, and to improve student learning outcomes.

Forearm pass is one of the materials that must be mastered by students of class X Senior High School. In fact, many students do not yet master and know forearm pass techniques. This research is a classroom action research (CAR) with two cycles. Each cycle consists of 4 stages, namely: planning, action, observation and reflection. Data collection was carried out using observations and questionnaires. Data were analyzed using Hake's Normalized Gain formula. From the results of the study it is known that the psychomotor domain of students increased by 0.42 with average criteria from cycle 1 to cycle 2. The affective domain increased by 0.37 with average criteria. The cognitive domain increased by 0.39 with average criteria. Based on the results of the data analysis, it can be concluded that learning forearm pass techniques with games method can improve student learning outcomes.

This study is a class action that aims to improve learning outcomes in subjects PPKn sixth grade students of SDN 002 Ukui Dua. This research is motivated by the low activity and low teacher and student learning outcomes in subjects PPKn. The problem of this study is whether the implementation of a strategy to answer alternately patterned circle round robin can improve student learning outcomes in subjects PPKn in the sixth grade SDN 002 Ukui Dua? This PPKn was conducted over two cycles. Data collection techniques in this research using collection observation techniques, achievement test, and documentation. Techniques of analysis in this study is an analysis of the activities of teachers and students and learning outcomes in subjects PPKn sixth grade students SDN 02 Ukui Dua Kecamatant Ukui. The result showed that the activity of teachers has increased. At the first meeting of the first cycle of 41% was obtained with Simply Perfect category and the second meeting reached 55% with the category Fairly Perfect. In the second cycle 3 meeting to reach 75% by the Perfect category and the 4th meeting of the second cycle reaches 85% with the Perfect category. While the activity of students has increased. At the first meeting of the first cycle reaches 51% with the category Fairly Perfect and the second meeting with the percentage of 66% to the category Perfect. After the second cycle of the third meeting with a percentage of 75% with the Perfect category while in attendance for-4 with the percentage of 94% to the category of Most Perfect. Learning outcomes of students also increased from the previous students who achieve KKM only 8 votes with a percentage (45%) after the first cycle an increase in students worth over KKM which reached 14 people with a percentage of 70%. Cycle II students who achieve KKM 17 (85%).
