Two recent trends in the teaching of mathematics can often go hand in hand. These two are the spiral approach to content development and the discovery-teaching/learning method. This paper will present some topics that illustrate how these approaches to content and method may complement each other. Space will not permit the full explication as it might occur in a classroom, but it is hoped that both the discovery approach to mathematical conjecture as well as the spiral nature of the topics will be evident. The specific topics discussed here range from those for the upper elementary school pupil to those for the high school senior—the exact placement depends not only on the topic itself, but on the language and notation as well.

Family can inspire the child to perform well in school. When the students belong to a complete family they can gain more confidence to do the task. Students who have complete family can be encouraged themselves to produce positive learning style in their studies. When the student belongs to a broken family the set of behaviors can be different towards certain task. Using the correlation quantitative design, the study was conducted in the Jagobiao National High School-Senior High Department in which the data were treated with chi-square to determine the relationship between family status and self-motivation. As a result, family status and self-motivation has no significant correlation in studies of any students, self-motivation exist regardless of family status, broken and complete. The motivation of student deals with their innate behavior and attitude to achieve better academic performance.

Chemistry learning in high school that trains and develops students’ self-sufficiency and independence has not been done optimally because learners still depend on getting information and knowledge from teachers. Problem-based learning method used in the teaching and learning process is expected to facilitate students’ with self-reliance and learning independence. This method is a problem-oriented learning method that makes students be accustomed to solving problems in order to train their ability in discoveringa concept in the learning process. Teaching learning process with PBL model is done for the subject matter of acid & base solution and electrolyte & non electrolyte solution. Learning independence assessed in this study were self-management, motivation, and confidence. The data of the study were in the form of descriptive quantitative data and analyzed using Anava / Anacova test. The research findings showed that there was a difference of students’ learning independence through the application of problem-based learning method and control method in teaching and learning process.

The objectives of this study was to describe the writers’ ways of persuading readers in argumentative writing. This study followed the theory of Ramage et.al. (2016) about the ways of persuading readers which comprises of text structure, reasoning, and persuasive appeal. This study used descriptive qualitative design. The data of this study were gathered by using elicitation technique, asking the 8th semester of undergraduate students to write argumentative text under predetermined topic Social Media Should be Banned with three intended readers, they were: Junior High School, Senior High School, and Undergraduate students.This study revealed that the subjects manipulated the text structure by presenting three-layered text structure of argumentative writing, and presenting the pseudo-evidence and organizing cause and effect relationship in terms of the reasoning aspect.Keywords: Cognitive Consideration, Argumentative, Writing, Persuasive
