General Method

The typical elementary school teacher of 1970 has been prepared as a general elementary school teacher. She may have had no other preparation to teach mathematics than a methods course; at worst, only a few weeks in a general method course; at best, a couple mathematics courses and a three-credit course in methods. Whatever her preparation, the typical teacher follows the textbook with a fair amount of vigor. This is not to be critical of the teacher since she also teaches six to ten other subjects. It can be said, however, that ordinarily she does not have a clear picture nor understanding of what she is trying to do in mathematics.

And Mathematics

There is little doubt that today the “discovery approach” is the preferred method for teaching mathematics. Implicit in this method is the notion that children should discover mathematical concepts, that the Ieamer engage in some form of inquiry, and that the ongoing process of learning is of prime importance. All this is reflected in the recent emphasis in mathematics education upon discovery, inquiry, and process.

This is the eleventh of a series of annual listings of research concerned with elementary school mathematics. During the very important period of change in elementary mathematics education from 1957 to 1966 the summaries were compiled by Dr. J. Fred Weaver of the University of Wisconsin.1 We hope that this listing will prove to be as valuable as the previous ones.2

The aim of this research is to develop a media for learning mathematics in "Opung HAN" elementary school based on Interactive Audio Instruction (IAI) for students majoring in UNIMED elementary school teacher education. The IAI-based "Opung HAN" fraction media was compiled based on observations during the learning and analysis conducted on the dictates of high-class mathematics education courses and interviews conducted with elementary school teacher education students, where teachers were very difficult to convey material related to fractions, The teacher does not know what media to use in teaching broken material. On the other hand, in the high school mathematics education textbook, there is also no media / teaching aids that can be used to teach fractional material. The specific purpose of this research is: developing IAI-based "Opung HAN" fraction media which will later be used by students majoring in primary school teacher education in teaching fraction material when they later become a teacher. This research uses development research (Developmental Research). The subjects of this study were students majoring in primary school teacher education at the State University of Medan. In the initial stage, observations were made during the learning process, analysis of the dictates of high-level mathematics education courses and continued with interviews with students. From the results of these observations and interviews, an initial draft of the IAI-based "Opung HAN" fraction was compiled. Furthermore, the initial design of the IAI-based "Opung HAN" fraction media was validated by a team that aimed to assess the quality of these elementary mathematics learning media fractions so that the fractional media became effective learning media which would later be used by lecturers and students in the lecture process.Keywords :  IAI, Fraction media, math learning.

Development Of Students

One of the most important goals of mathematics education is the development of students' abilities to think and reason in numerical and spatial situations. How might we use computers as tools for stimulating and guiding the construction of the child's mathematical thinking? The approaches taken by two elementary school teacher are briefly described. Although the uses of the computer by the teacher differ, both adopt a problematic approach to teaching to emphasize the child's mathematical thinking.
