One of the major tasks facing the Research Advisory Committee (RAC) is to serve the needs of two groups: researchers in mathematics education, who are primarily concerned with understanding the learning process; and practitioners (teachers, supervisors, principals), who are mainly concerned with finding more effective ways to teach children. Researchers, guided by their intuitions, study problems and often obtain results that are not directly applicable to the classroom situation; practitioners, on the other hand, actively pursue better ways to educate children in the classroom.

One of the major task facing the Research Advisory Committee (RAC) is to serve the needs of two groups: researchers in mathematics education, who are primarily concerned with understanding the learning process: and practitioners (teachers, supervisors. principals), who are mainly concerned with finding more effective ways to teach children. Researchers, guided by their intuitions, study problems and often obtain results that are not directly applicable to the classroom situation: practitioners, on the other hand. actively pursue better ways to educate children in the classroom. To insist that researchers should address themselves only to the immediate problems of the classroom seems to be an unwise course of action, since the history of science includes many discoveries that had useful applications years, or even centuries, after their di scovery. Yet for researchers to ignore the need of the classroom may lead to sterile research results that only collect dust in the darkened corners of a library.

Historically, the American school has been regarded as an essential vehicle by which the child can prepare for adult success. Despite substantial theoretical argument that childhood learning can both prepare children for later schooling and also be an interesting process in itself, the schools, led more often by “people-activists” rather than “scholar-activists,” have tended on the one hand to be uninteresting or on the other hand to lack depth and substance. The paper argues that every child has a right to an interesting school and goes on to propose that, in its best sense, an interesting school is a place which respects the child's interest in a learning process that is deep and filled with intellectual and emotional substance.

This article is a potrait of constructing frame of mind in writing, communication and human being. Communication is a process of transforming idea to the other in which the idea can be formed through encoding process to be reformed and reconstructed in decoding process by receiver. The new order framework is the new paradigm of mind. Further more, writing is an action to pour idea to be sedimented and embeded in the form of documented written. Related to writing, communication means transfering message from sender to the other either verbal and or non-verbal process. On the other hand, humaniora is a realm of meaning within human spirit to be humanized and civilized by oneself through education. Educating human being is also a teaching and learning process toward oneself-personalization. The personalization is so called humanization process.

This paper tries to show a brief but profound view about new languages of communication introduced at school. On the one hand, the musical language included in the curriculo and the other hand the technological language spread in our society in order to transmit the importance of new technologies as well as the different posibilities that they offer to the teaching-learning process inside the educational area focusing on the musical educational one. Con este artículo se pretende dar una visión superficial, pero cargada de intencionalidad, sobre algunos de los nuevos lenguajes de comunicación que se han implantado en la escuela. Por un lado, el lenguaje musical recogido en el currículo y por otro, el lenguaje tecnológico extendido en nuestra sociedad. Se intenta transmitir la importancia que tienen las nuevas tecnologías, así como las diferentes posibilidades que ofrecen para el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje dentro del ámbito educativo, centrándonos de manera especial en el campo de la educación musical.

Kebijakan e-learning yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah Indonesia memberikan pembelajaran dengan memudahkan pendidik membuat media dengan waktu terbatas. Media/aplikasi berbasis internet selain memberikan kemudahan bagi guru, juga akan memberikan warna lain dalam proses pembelajaran. Peserta didik tidak akan mudah merasa bosan saat mendengarkan penjelasan/mengerjakan sesuatu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan evaluasi penggunaan e-learning di Taman Kanak-kanak di Provinsi Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah analisis kualitatif yang digunakan secara langsung untuk menggambarkan detail narasumber dengan melakukan wawancara mendalam dengan guru di Taman Kanak-kanak di Kabupaten Bantul dan Sleman. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan ini sangat baik dan membantu memfasilitasi semua pihak baik guru maupun siswa. Namun di sisi lain, e-learning masih kurang diminati oleh sebagian pendidik. Pendidik beranggapan bahwa penggunaan aplikasi/media berbasis internet sangat membingungkan. Pendidik akan membutuhkan waktu yang cukup banyak untuk mempelajari cara mengoperasikan komputer/laptop sebelum mereka mulai mengembangkan media pembelajaran. Sedangkan pembelajaran berbasis teknologi di beberapa sekolah termasuk dalam program ekstrakurikuler. Program ini tidak diikuti oleh semua siswa dan terbatas pada pilihan, tidak wajib. Oleh karena itu, dampak penggunaan teknologi dalam proses pembelajaran tidak dapat dirasakan oleh semua siswa. Hanya sedikit siswa yang dapat menggunakan teknologi ini dalam pembelajaran. Kementerian Pendidikan telah menyediakan wadah bagi pendidik untuk mengakses beberapa media pembelajaran berbasis teknologi. Selain Kementerian Pendidikan, pusat pengembangan Taman Kanak-Kanak Provinsi juga telah melaksanakan pendidikan terkait pembelajaran berbasis teknologi di Taman Kanak-Kanak. Namun kurangnya sosialisasi menyebabkan pendidik tidak mendapatkan informasi dan kurang pengetahuan untuk dapat mengaksesnya. The e-learning policy is carried out by the Indonesian government in learning to provide learning by making it easier for educators to create media with limited time. Internet-based media/applications in addition to making it easier for teachers, will also provide other colors in the learning process. Learners will not feel bored easily when listening to explanations/doing something. This study aims to explain the evaluation of the using of e-learning in the kindergartens in Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia. The method that is applied for this study is a qualitative analysis which uses directly to portray the detail interviewees by conducting an in-depth interview with the teachers in kindergartens in Bantul and Sleman districts. The results of this study indicate that this policy is very good and helps facilitate all parties both teachers and students. However, on the other hand, e-learning is apparently still lacking interest by some educators. Educators assume that the use of application/internet-based media is very confusing. Educators will need a considerable amount of time to learn how to operate a computer/laptop before they begin to develop learning media. On the other hand, technology-based learning in several schools is included in the extracurricular program. This program is not attended by all students and is limited to optional, not mandatory. Therefore, that the impact of the use of technology in the learning process cannot be felt by all students. Only a few students are able to use this technology in learning. The Ministry of Education has provided a platform for educators to access some technology-based learning media. In addition to the Ministry of Education, the Provincial Kindergartens development center has also conducted education related to technology-based learning in kindergartens. However, the lack of socialization causes educators not to get information and lack the knowledge to be able to access it.

Human as educational beings (homo educandum) has never been separated from the process of education. Therefore, they can be an object or subject of education. the educational process carried out by humans will coincide with the learning process. learning is the process of interaction between individuals (students) and other individuals (teachers) or with their environment that is intended to change a person's behavior permanently both intellectual, emotional or spiritual aspect through experience. Generally,  theories of learning are behaviorist, cognitive and humanistic theory  that lead to self's change through their learning experience based on purpose. According to Ghazali and Ibn Miskawaih's perspective, the purpose of learning is a positive moral change towards what is done by a teacher.  al Ghazali points that parent is a first educator in the individual life. According to Ibnu Miskawaih, materials for the learning is developed by using Islam epistemology.  and the other hand, al Ghazali declare a material of learning is developed by sufistic values  approach.Manusia mempunyai julukan sebagai homo educanum. Hal ini nampak pada proses kehidupan manusia dimana ia tidak akan pernah lepas dari proses pendidikan. Disatu sisi ia dapat menjadi obyek sekaligus subyek pendidikan. Pembelajaran adalah proses interaksi yang dilakukan oleh peserta didik dan guru atau lingkungannya yang ditujukan untuk merubah perilaku seseorang secara permanen baik aspek intelektual, emosi atau spiritual melalui pengalaman. Pada umumnya teori belajar behaviorisme, kognitif dan humanistik menginginkan adanya perubahan pada diri seseorang sesuai dengan yang ditujukan melalui pengalaman belajarnya. Dalam perspektif tasawuf sebagaimana diungkapkan oleh al Ghazali dan Ibnu Miskawaih bahwa tujuan pembelajaran adalah perubahan akhlak (perilaku) seseorang kepada yang baik yang dilakukan oleh seorang guru dimana menurut pandangan tasawuf bahwa pendidik pertama tersebut adalah orang tua sedangkan materi yang digunakan adalah materi-materi yang secara epistimologis dibangun secara islami sedangkan menurut al Ghazali materi tersebut juga perlu dibangun dengan pendekatan nilai sufistik.

The more the spirit of study of the Qur'an is increasing, so the spirit of studying the Qur'an is never lost, For that, learning knowledge about the Qur'an should be given to all students, ranging from the level of childhood to they mature later. On the other hand, character education that is currently being promoted and developed by the government is an education that prioritizes the behavior of good morality. The education of this character emerges and rises to the surface is a reaction to the advancement of pedagogig (education) naturalistic and instrumentalism. al-Qur'an that in essence already covers the whole aspects of life, including also the education, so that can be interpreted by studying the Qur'an means the same as improving the character of each child itself. The phenomenon in Madrasah Diniyah in his learning process emphasizes more on religious teaching sessions, as well as the education of the Qur'an, and as the pattern of association of students, that they are in daily life more prioritizes the manners that is already one of the characteristics of has in character education . For that, at a glance the authors assume that character education is an application of education of the Qur'an that they have learned so far.

Purpose: To compare the tactical-technical behavior of volleyball players according to the manipulation of court size in small-sided games. Method: We analyzed the tactical-technical behaviors of 16 male players (12.2  ±  0.5 years and 1.2  ±  0.8 years of practice) using the components of the GPAI instrument (Adjustment, efficiency, decision-making and effectiveness) validated for volleyball. To this end, we examined 1614 transition actions (defense, setting and attack) from games played in four court dimensions (3.0 × 3.0m, 4.0 × 4.0m, 4.6 × 4.6m and 5.2 × 5.2m). Altogether 96 Volleyball games were analyzed. Results: The smaller area per player favored technical skills development, specifically defensive and offensive ones. On the other hand, a larger area per player promoted higher scores in decision-making and effectiveness. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that the players’ behaviors in small-sided games depend on the game configurations, since modifications in the tactical-technical behavior emanate from the game ecology. Thus, the court size manipulation is a powerful pedagogical tool that deeply relates to learning outcomes. Coaches must consider such constraints in the teaching-learning process, since small-sided games manipulations should be linked with clear learning goals.

The first theories of race were attempts to explain why the peoples of Europe (or sometimes particular peoples within Europe) had developed a higher civilization than the peoples of other regions. They attributed inequality in development to different biological inheritance, undervaluing the importance of the learning process. Between the world wars social scientists demonstrated how many apparently natural differences, and attitudes towards other groups, were not inherited but learned behaviour. They asked instead why people should entertain false ideas about members of other groups. As the twentieth century comes to an end, it is claimed on the one hand that processes of racial group formation can be explained in the same terms as those used for explaining group phenomena in general. On the other hand it is maintained that the only possible theories are those explaining why, in particular societies and at particular times, racism assumes a given form.
