This research is motivated by the lack of mathematics teaching materials that can make students learn on their own. The teaching material can be created by teachers as they are the ones who possess the knowledge about their students’ characteristics. Further, learning materials are a set of materials (information, tools, or texts) that can aid teachers and students to carry out the learning process. The two-variable linear equation system (SPLDV) is one of the mathematics materials taught to eighth-grade students of junior high school; it contains problems related to daily life. However, it is found that this material is still difficult to master by most students. Therefore, it is necessary to develop the SPLDV teaching materials that can help students learn and solve problems as well as be used as examples by teachers in developing other materials. This research aimed to make problem-based SPLDV teaching materials. The research method refers to the Four-D Model by Thiagarajan, Semmel, and Semmel (1974). It consisted of defining, designing, developing, and disseminating. The results showed that problem-based SPLDV teaching materials could be used in learning activities as the students and the teachers had shown their positive responses after going through expert assessments. This study also suggested that the teachers use this teaching material and adopt teaching materials for other similar materials.

Writing Strategy

This study is aimed at finding out what appropriate methods to be usedin writing lesson seen from the students’ creativity especially for studentswho have high creativityand low creativity. This study used quasi experimental research. The population of the research was the eighth grade of a Junior High School in Wonosari in the academic year of 2013/2014. The sampling technique used was cluster random sampling. The sample in this study was 64 students covering 32 students of E as experimental class and 32 students of C as control class. The data or the students’ writing scores were analyzed in terms of their frequency distribution, normality, homogeneity, then ANOVA and Tuckey tests to test the research hypotheses. Based on the result, the research findings are: CWS is more effective than MWS in writing lesson; the high creativity students produced better writing rather than the low creativity student; and the interaction of teaching methods and the students’ creativity is existing in this writing lesson. In short, Collaborative Writing Strategy (CWS) is effective to teach writing for the eighth grade of a Junior High School in Wonosari, Gunungkidul. Then, the research result implies that it is better for the teachers to apply CWS in teaching and learning process of writing, to improve the students’ writing achievement, CWS needs to be used in the classroom activities, then future research can conduct the similar research with different sample and different students’ condition.

This research believes that junior high school students in eighth grade need suitable and interesting reading material to develop their literacy skills which one way to achieve it is to design graphic novels of learning material on it. This research designed in the form of design and development (D&D) model proposed by Richey and Klein (2007). The development model used in this research was Richey and Klein’s (2007) ADDE model. The result was a graphic novel as an attractive literacy media that was developed for assisting eighth grade junior high school students’ literacy skills. Based on the content validity judgement, the graphic novel was highly relevant to the twelve criteria of a good graphic novel with minor revision. The quality judgment was utilized to determine whether or not the graphic novel was already qualified to serve as a good literacy source by using expert judgement. There were two expert judges and twelve users who took role in judging the quality of the graphic novel. Based on the quality judgement, the graphic novel was categorized as excellent media. Thus, the graphic novel was categorized as excellent media for assisting eighth grade students’ literacy skills.

ABSTRAKStudi awal atau biasa disebut dengan pilot study merupakan studi pendahuluan yang dilakukan oleh kebanyakan peneliti sebagai suatu hal yang penting dalam proyek penelitian selanjutnya. Pada tulisan ini, penulis memaparkan hasil wawancara yang dilakukan dengan dua orang siswa kelas VIII pada salah satu sekolah menengah pertama di Kabupaten Bandung Barat terkait dengan menggali penalaran matematis siswa SMP. Wawancara dilakukan dengan menggunakan pedoman wawancara berbasis tugas geometri. Diperoleh hasil bahwa penalaran matematis kedua siswa tersebut terkait penyelesaian tugas geometri masih rendah. Siswa lebih cenderung menyelesaikan tugas secara langsung tanpa mengetahui alasan mereka menjawab tugas geometri tersebut.ABSTRACTPreliminary study or commonly called the pilot study is a study conducted by most researchers as an important issue in future research projects. In this paper, the author present results of interviews conducted with two students in eighth grade at one of junior high school in West Bandung regency about digging their mathematical reasoning. Interviews were conducted by using a task-based geometry. The results indicate that mathematical reasoning of the students’ related to the completion of geometry task still low. Students more likely to complete tasks directly without knowing the reason they answered the geometry tasks.
