Analysis of Students’ Multiple representation-based Problem - solving Skills

This study aims to analyze the profile of students’ problem - solving skills based on multiple representation in senior high school. Problem - solving skills in solving multiple representation are very important in learning Physics. The subjects of this study were 101 students of class XII MAN 1 Ngawi. The method used in this research was quantitative descriptive method. Indicators of the problem - solving abilities that were used included approaches, visuals, applications, and procedures. The types of representation in this research instrument were verbal, figures, graphic and mathematic. The results showed that the problem - solving skills related to the indicator of approach with the form of multiple representation questions got percentages of 36% (verbal), 42% (figural), 24% (graphical), and 43% (mathematical). The visual indicators showed the percentages of 44, 29, 38, and 0 for verbal, figural, graphical, and mathematical respectively. Then the indicators of procedures obtained 36% for the verbal, 30% for the figures, 35% for the graphics, and 0% for the mathematics. Thus, it can be concluded that problem - solving skills possessed by students are different in terms of the percentage each indicator got in the multiple representation test.

A Middle-class Farming Family Negotiates “the Rural School Problem” in Interwar Australia

Rural schooling was a site of educational and social tensions, and the one-room government school was viewed as pedagogically traditional in interwar Australia. Given this context, this article explores the decision-making and educational practices of a white middle-class family in 1930s Western Australia. Former kindergarten teacher Marjorie Caw, her husband, Alf, and their two children lived on a sheep-wheat farm ten kilometres from a one-room school. Convinced that private rather than government schools were progressive, Marjorie supplied the children with their elementary education at home, sometimes resorting to correspondence lessons from the Western Australian education department, and sent them to urban private boarding schools for secondary education. The article canvasses dilemmas this created for her as a teacher and mother and argues that the Caw children’s experiences demonstrated a more complex and less dichotomous situation regarding “the rural school problem” and progressive education in the interwar years than is typically recognized in the literature. Résumé Dans l’Australie de l’entre-deux-guerres, l’enseignement en milieu rural était marqué par des tensions éducatives et sociales, alors que les écoles publiques d’une seule pièce étaient considérées comme une tradition pédagogique. Dans ce contexte, cet article explore les choix et les pratiques en matière d’éducation d’une famille blanche de la classe moyenne dans l’Australie-Occidentale des années 1930. Ancienne éducatrice à la maternelle, Marjorie Caw, son mari Alf et leurs deux enfants vivaient sur une ferme alliant la culture du blé et l’élevage des brebis à dix kilomètres d’une école d’une pièce. Convaincue que les écoles privées étaient plus progressistes que les écoles publiques, Marjorie fournissait aux enfants une éducation élémentaire à la maison, recourant parfois aux cours par correspondance du département de l’éducation de l’Australie-Occidentale, et les envoyait recevoir leur éducation secondaire dans des pensionnats privés urbains. L’article aborde les dilemmes que ces décisions ont engendrés pour elle en tant qu’enseignante et mère, et démontre que l’éducation des enfants de Majorie Caw a été vécue dans un contexte plus complexe que le suggère la dichotomie entre le « problème de l’école rurale » et l’éducation progressiste dans l’entre-deux-guerres.

Knot Your Typical Math Problem

This elementary school problem intersects with a lesser-known field of professional mathematics known as Knot theory, the mathematical study of knots. Each month, elementary school teachers are presented with a problem along with suggested instructional notes; asked to use the problem in their own classrooms; and encouraged to report solutions, strategies, reflections, and misconceptions to the journal audience.
