PENINGKATAN KEMAMPUAN PENALARAN MATEMATIKA DENGAN PENDEKATAN SCIENTIFIC TERINTEGRASI PADA MODEL PROBLEM SOLVING

The purpose of this study was to determine the application of an integrated scientific approach to the correct problem solving model in order to improve the reasoning abilities of the fifth grade students of SD Negeri Prembulan. The results of this study indicate that: (1) In general, the application of the integrated scientific approach to the correct problem solving model is effective in improving mathematical reasoning skills, (2) Increasing mathematics reasoning of the fifth grade students of SD Prembulan in the pre-cycle by 50.05% in the cycle I amounted to 76.31% in the second cycle of 85.39%

PROGRAM KESEJAHTERAAN SOSIAL DALAM PENANGGULANGAN GELANDANGAN PENGEMIS DI KOTA SERANG BANTEN

Tramp panhandler (Gelandangan Pengemis, called: Gepeng) is a social phenomenon that is a problem for every region in Indonesia. Gepeng is a promising job for some communities. Gepeng in Serang itself varies, from which can still suffice the need to be said to be sufficient and not including the poor households (RTM), to the poor who really belong to poor households (RTM). This article aims to analyze the background of the emergence of sprawl in Serang city. This paper uses the research method of the library study, discussing the sprawl in the city of Serang to provide the correct problem solving the mitigation in the city of Serang in an effort to realize social welfare. From the results of the study obtained data that the cause factor of the person chose to be a sprawl; Physical disabilities, age, education, economics, environment and religion.

Basic Parent Management Skills: Using Consequences to Correct Problem Behavior

This chapter reviews parenting techniques and provides and in depth discussion of the parent’s use of consequences to the child’s behavior. It teaches how to identify problem behaviors and desired behaviors, and provides the use of point systems as a way to improve child behavior. Topics covered include ensuring consequences are logical and suitable; removing a reward or privilege; and making restitution to another person after causing that person to suffer a loss or an injury, particularly by misuse of fire. There is a discussion of a home management (consequence) program, including a rationale for combining positive and problem behaviors in one program. Forms and worksheets from the appendix are used for parents to learn and review the concepts discussed. Potential problems to home practice are addressed.

The Use of Spatial Visualization in Mathematics by Girls and Boys

This longitudinal study investigated how girls and boys who were discrepant in their spatial and verbal performance used spatial visualization skills in solving word problems and fraction problems. The subjects, 36 girls and 33 boys, were interviewed annually in Grades 6, 7, and 8. Each student was asked to read a problem, draw a picture to help solve it, solve it, and then explain how the picture was used in the solution. Students who differed in spatial visualization skill did not differ in their ability to find correct problem solutions, but students with a higher level of spatial visualization skill tended to use spatial skills in problem solving more often than students with a lower level of skill. Girls tended to use pictures more during problem solving than boys did, but this did not enable them to get as many correct solutions. Low spatial visualization skill may be more debilitating to girls' mathematical problem solving than to boys'.
