During my twenty-four years as a middle school and high school teacher, I observed that students were often fascinated by vignettes from the history of mathematics. When the vignette had an ancient Egyptian setting, that background added a certain mystique.

During a summer's study under the auspices of the National Science Foundation,1 our History of Mathematics class encountered a most interesting Eulerian problem in infinite series. The problem is exemplary of an abundance of wonderfully rich and exciting historical materials. Acquiring a background in the history of mathematics is important to the high school teacher, for it provides an invaluable source of problem materials with which to capture the imagination and intellectual energies of students. High school mathematics curricula have often been criticized for not providing students with the opportunity to experience the excitement and the deep creative satisfaction of original se]f directed mathematical research. It is hoped that the development that fo1lows provides an example of a viable mathematics research project for secondary school students.

The history of American education shows that the schools have always responded to demands for adjustment of education to the needs of the community. At the time when the high schools came into existence the need was for leaders of society, i.e., doctors, ministers, and scholars. Accordingly, the major function of the high-school teacher was to train pupils for leadership. The curriculum was designed to prepare them for college. Entrance was made intentionally difficult by examinations designed to exclude those not qualified. This made the high-school population a rather select group of pupils. It is interesting to observe that mathematics was a major subject which everybody was required to take.

The objectives of this study is to develop project-based Physics Study teaching materials for Middle School that can improve concept mastery of high school teacher candidates. This research includes education development divided into three steps i.e the preliminary study, the product design development, and the product testing. The results showed that the developed instructional materials were suitable for use in learning and fulfilled the validation test by experts for the components of content feasibility, presentation and language in a good category. The responses of the student after using the teaching materials are very good for supporting and completing teaching materials during lectures. The tested teaching materials of Physics learning in Middle School can improve mastery of high school physics concepts for teacher candidates.Keywords: project-based teaching materials, school physics studies, mastery of physics concepts

One branch of physics is mechanics. Based on interviews to Senior High School teacher in Jember, mechanics is difficult to learn. The eksternals factor this chapter is dificult to learn is learning Resources. The learning Resources are often less contextuall with around the phenomenon of students. The contextuall learning Resources in the Jember Regency is study of kynematics and dynamics in the traffic of Rembangan Tourism. From this experiment, we get data can be used as a learning resources chapter uniform rectilinear motion, decelerated uniform rectilinear motion, accelerated uniform rectilinear motion, Newton’s Law, and circular motion.
