At Petrosky Elementary school in Alief Independent School District, Houston. Texas, a unique mathematics and science unit was developed for third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade students. The students worked in stores in this “Metric Mall.” These “retail” experiences gave them opportunities to work with measuring tools and ordinary, but motivating, materials.

The purpose of this study was to describe the transition implementation experienced by rural elementary school district students entering the ninth grade at an independent school district, and to describe the ties to the school that exist among these same ninth grade students. This qualitative research involved interviewing 11 ninth grade students, six rural elementary school district counselors and/or administrators, and one independent school district counselor. Conclusions of the study revealed that the independent school district in the study does not have a structured transition implementation program to assist rural elementary school district students. Despite literature that supports the success of transitional programs for students and the fact that the county in the study once had a transitional program, there is currently no program in place. The one thing every rural elementary and independent school district staff member agreed on was that the transition process for the rural elementary students needs drastic improvement. Suggestions were provided by all participants to assist with improving transition.

ABSTRACTThe research is an action research aiming at improving the learning output of social science using cooperative learning model of Numbered Head Together. The subjects of the research are the fifth grade students of Sekolah Dasar Negeri Batu Kembar in the even semester, the year of 2015/ 2016 with the number of students of 21 consisting of 12 boys and 9 girls. The research used cycling procedure containing four steps of planning, doing, observing, and reflecting. The action research is done in two cycles. Each cycle is conducted in one meeting. After the implementation of Numbered Head Together, the learning output of students social science improves from the first to the second cycle. The result shows that the average score in the first cycle is 65, and the learning completion is 50.00%, while in the second cycle, the average score is 74 and the learning completion is 85.00%. The learning process score in the first cycle is 75.75%, and it improves in the second cycle to be 90.00%. The result of students behavior observation shows improvement of students discipline, cooperation, bravery which in the first cycle is 80.50% and it improves in the second cycle to be 85.50%. Therefore it can be inferred that the implementation of the cooperative learning model of Numbered Head Together is able to improve the learning output of the fifth grade students social science in an elementary school.

This research aims to determine the significance of the difference in science learning results between the group of fifth-grade students in Gugus I Elementary Schools, North Kuta District, in the school year of 2017/2018, that take lessons with the multimedia-assisted probing-prompting learning model and the group of students that take lessons with the conventional learning. The design of this research is a quasi-experimental research with the nonequivalent control group design. The population of this research are all the fifth-grade students of Gugus I Elementary Schools in North Kuta District that still implement the KTSP, which consists of 10 classes with a total of 339 students. The sampling is conducted using the random sampling technique. The sample in this research are the students of class VB in SD (Elementary School) No.7 Dalung, with 36 students as the experiment group and the students of class VB in SD No.4 Dalung with 28 students as the control group. The data collection is conducted using the test method in the form of the multiple choice objective test. The science learning results are analyzed using the t-test. Based on the average the experiment groups =80,89 > the control group =72,85, which means that the multimedia-assisted probing-prompting learning model has an influence on the science learning result. Based on the hypothesis test, tvalues =4,517> ttable =2,000, with dk=62 and a significance level of 5%. Based on the test criteria, H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. Thus, it can be interpreted there is a significant difference the science learning result between the group of students that were taught using the multimedia-assisted probing-prompting learning model and the students that were taught using the conventional learning. It can be concluded that the the multimedia-assisted probing-prompting learning model has an influence on the science learning result of the fifth-grade students in Gugus I Elementary School, North Kuta District, in the school year of 2017/2018.

The knowledge of history is the study of incidents in the past. Therefore, the knowledge of history has many benefits, including: history can create a better future by taking lessons and experiences from the past. History can be studied if there are forms of heritage, such as a temples. The center of the temple in Indonesia is located in Central Java, the center of the Hindu-Buddhist temple. This region has the Borobudur Temple, which is best known by the people of Indonesia and foreign tourists, because Borobudur Temple is the largest Buddhist temple in the world. But many other temples are interesting to be known by the community, especially by elementary school children who start studying history in fifth grade elementary school. Learning history in schools requires a variety of learning methods, so that students are enthusiastic and do not get bored while learning in class. In overcoming the history of learning methods that are less diverse in fifth grade elementary school children in Bandung, pop-up books were chosen as a solution to this problem because, the use of pop-up book media is a new experience for many students at school. Data collection techniques carried out by interview and observation using mixed methods. The main media is a pop up book entitled "Myths and Legends of Temples in Indonesia - Hindu-Buddhist Temple Edition in Central Java". Accompanied by supporting media, namely: stickers, carrying bags, tumblers, fans, and clothes. The design was made to increase insight and introduction of Hindu-Buddhist temples in Central Java to fifth grade students in Bandung.
