Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menghasilkan perangkat pembelajaran lingkaran SMP Kelas VIII dengan suplemen materi History of Mathematics (HoM) yang terdiri dari RPP dan Modul yang memenuhi kriteria valid, praktis, dan efektif. Model pengembangan ynag digunakan adalah model ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, dan Evaluation). Analisis data kevalidan dan kepraktisan dilakukan dengan cara mengkonversi skor empiris yang diperoleh menjadi data kualitatif skala lima. Analisis keefektifan dilakukan dengan cara menentukan persentase banyak siswa yang mencapai kategori minimal tinggi untuk angket dan menentukan persentase ketuntasan siswa pada tes prestasi belajar. Berdasarkan hasil validasi, RPP dan Modul yang dikembangkan memenuhi kriteria valid dengan kategori sangat baik. RPP dan Modul yang dikembangkan praktis dan efektif. Kepraktisan perangkat pembelajaran yang dikembangkan mencapai kategori sangat baik berdasarkan hasil observasi keterlaksanaan pembelajaran dan penilaian guru, modul mencapai kategori baik berdasarkan respon siswa. Perangkat pembelajaran juga efektif ditinjau dari motivasi, rasa ingin tahu, dan prestasi belajar siswa.Kata Kunci: pengembangan, perangkat pembelajaran, History of Mathematics Developing Circle Instructional Kits of 8th Grade Junior High School with the Supplement of History of Mathematics (HOM) Material AbstractThis research aims to produce the circle instructional kits for 8th grade Junior High School with the supplement of history of mathematics (HoM), consists of lesson plans and module. The developing model was ADDIE’s model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The validity and practicality of the data were analyzed by converting the empiric scores obtained into five scale qualitative data. The effectivity was analyzed by determining the percentage of students who reached minimally high category of the questionnaires and determining the percentage of student’s completeness in the achievement test. Based on the validation result of lesson plans and module which have been developed, they include in valid criteria with very good category. Lesson plans and module which have been developed are practical and effective. The Practicability of instructional kits that are developed reach very good category that based on observation result of lesson implementation and teacher’s evaluation, the module reaches good categoty that based on students’ response. Instructional kits also effective based on students’ motivation, curiosity, and achievement.Keywords: development, instructional kit, History of Mathematics

This study emphasizes student-centered learning principles in developing an algal fuel cell teaching module for a student environmental education program. Using the algal battery, one of the authors (a junior high school science teacher) conducted the teaching module in eight classes, with 67 elementary school students in grade 5, 64 junior high school students in grade 8, and 159 senior high school students in grade 10, respectively. Results from the pre- and post- achievement tests of the algal fuel cell teaching module showed that the average score of elementary school, senior high school, and junior high school students increased by 23.73, 18.09, and 17.42 points, respectively, with a significant difference between post- and pretest scores (p<0.001). The gross average of student responses to the questionnaire was 4.04. The mean score for elementary school students significantly differed (p<0.01) from junior high and senior high school students.

The Program of this meeting was composed of three papers on the following subjects: The Slide Rule in the Junior High School, The Slide Rule in the Senior High School, and The Slide Rule in the Junior College. The first paper advocated that the slide rule should be studied in the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. No explanation of the foundation principles of logarithms was mentioned, and only the simplest operations of multiplication, division, proportion, squares and square roots were explained. If the student starts to study an instrument when he is young, even though he doesn't understand all the reasons, he will be ready for the further study of the foundation principles upon which the slide rule is based when be gets to the senior high school and junior college. When the pupil begins the study of logarithms in the third year of high school then he will be ready to understand fully all the reasons for any procedure with the slide rule.

For a variety of reasons, students do not know how to study mathematics. In the college-level mathematics classes that I teach, even the A students rarely have a system for attacking large amounts of new material. When asked how they've studied mathematics, most students reply that they do all the assigned homework. The “doing” of the problem is viewed as sufficient for learning. This haphazard approach may lead to success or at least to passing the course in junior and senior high school, where the material is presented in manageable chunks. In college the pace of most courses, whether mainstream or remedial, is such that many students flounder without a method for synthesizing the material. Additionally, since the textbook is opened only to reach the homework problems, students are unlikely to consider a mathematics textbook as a resource. The topic of this article is teaching students, from junior high school through college, strategies for studying mathematics.

This research is based on the problems on low economy of the societies that make the children help their parents to have working to fulfill their needs. Meanwhile, children still need to play and to study, it is not their responsible to join to handle the needs of their economy. The purposes of this research are to know the condition of education of the children workers in TPA Batu Bola Padangsidimpuan. Beside, the researcher also wanted to know the factors caused them doing work in that place, and the parents and government effort to protect the children. The research is qualitative descriptive. The informant are children workers (pick workers/pemulung), their parents, as the primer source and other pick workers, and the district government (lurah) as the secondary source. The instruments used are questionnaires, interview, observation, adn documentation. Based on the research, it is found that the children are 12 persons from Junior High School (40%), 9 persons from Junior High School (30%), 2 persons from Senior High School (6.67%), and out of school 7 persons (23.33%). The main factors that make them work is because of the pressure of the economic needs. The reasons are asked by their parents (80%), their wants (13.33%), and asked by their friends (6.67%).  The parents effort by giving advises to their children, and the government didnot have hard regulation and solution in order to make them always in that condition.
