This study aims to determine the relationship between emotional intelligence and spiritual intelligence with teacher job satisfaction. This study uses a survey method with correlational techniques. The population of the study was the teachers of SDN in Dumai Barat District, Dumai City with a sample of 150 people. The instrument used for data collection is a number of written questions with 4 variations of answer choices. The instrument item validation was tested using product moment correlation, while the instrument reliability test was calculated using the Alpha Conhbach formula. The results showed that (1) there was a significant relationship between spiritual intelligence and job satisfaction of State Elementary School teachers in Dumai Barat District, Dumai City. (2). There is a very strong relationship between spiritual intelligence and job satisfaction of State Elementary School teachers in Dumai Barat District, Dumai City. (3). There is a positive and significant relationship between emotional intelligence and spiritual intelligence together with job satisfaction of State Elementary School teachers in Dumai Barat District, Dumai City.

Alcohol consumption is considered a global problem, principally affecting adolescents. In this context, the aims of this study were to identify the pedagogical strategies developed by elementary school teachers in the approach to alcohol with adolescents; To analyze the attitudes, beliefs, values and practices of the elementary school teachers in relation to alcohol; To discuss the repercussions of the attitudes, beliefs, values and practices of the teachers about alcohol in the dialogue with the students and in the implementation of the strategies referred to above. This was a qualitative study performed with 26 teachers of a Rio de Janeiro public school. The data were analyzed through thematic content analysis and grouped into 5 categories. It was concluded that social imaginary and attitudinal construction of the teachers directly interferes with the personal and professional practice and has repercussions in the quotidian life of the students. It was noted that the focus should not just be on the students, but on the relationship of the teachers with their pedagogic strategies.

Events in the past ten years have made it necessary and desirable for colleges and universities to increase their course requirements in mathematics for elementary school teachers. There has been little or no opposition to this trend except as one finds it in individual colleges when there is a proposal to change course requirements. In mathematics the change has been in the direction of doubling or trebling the number of credits in mathematics required of prospective elementary teachers.

Today there is widespread concern for helping e leme nta ry school teachers acquire new mathematical knowledge. This is reflected in the vast number of inservice programs being conducted across the country. As yet, however, there has been no gene ral agreement on important goals or reasonable levels of achievement to be expected after a series of prescribed in-service experiences. Characteristically there has been no attempt to find out how much of the new mathematics curricula elementary school teachers understand.

Elementary school teachers, preservice or inservice, are not usually given the background in geometry that they need. Some college courses for elementary teachers contain no study of geometry. Those courses that do contain geometry may be limited to traditional topics in measurement, some terminology, and certain facts concerning familiar geometric shapes; or they may review the definitions, theorems, and proofs that the teacher has already had in high school. Judging on hearsay, experience, and an analysis of current mathematics texts for teachers, few courses are providing the teacher with what is needed.

At the recent meeting of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics held in New York City,* one elementary school panel dealt with the problem of providing better instruction in mathematics to gifted students. Thus far, most attempts to meet the needs of gifted students have depended upon horizontal enrichment. A difficulty has been that most elementary teachers lack sufficient knowledge of mathematics to make enrichment programs successful. The mathematics preparation of elementary school teachers must be improved.
