Students home alone—profiles of internal and external conditions associated with mathematics learning from home

AbstractsThis study aims at describing differences in internal and external resources of students to handle mathematics learning from home. Based on data from N = 223 7th-grade secondary school students gathered via an online survey at the end of the first school year during the COVID-19 pandemic, we used latent profile analysis to identify student profiles defined by the internal factors perceived value and success of students’ math learning from home and the external factors family support and teacher support—all specifically related to home learning. A number of general learning conditions, comprising internal (e.g., sustained attention) and external factors (e.g., socioeconomic status), are included as outcome variables. The best-fitting four-profile solution suggests one profile with comparably unfavorable internal and external resources. About 35% of the students are assigned to that profile. The other three profiles show combinations of, relative to the sample, more and less promising specific home learning and general learning conditions suggesting that these students have different resources available in the face of learning mathematics from home.

Relationships between young children’s early numeracy skills and the home learning environment in South Africa

A child’s home environment has been shown to be related to the development of earlynumeracy skills in some countries. However, significant relationships between home learningenvironment and math achievement have not consistently been found, and likely vary acrossdifferent cultural and socio-political contexts. Here we explored the home environment andearly numeracy skills of 187 children (3-5 years), who were not attending preschoolprogrammes in very low-income settings in Cape Town, South Africa. Caregiverscompleted a questionnaire including information regarding experiences of children in thehome; children completed a number identification task, a counting task and the Give-N task. The amount of resources in the home learning environment, frequency of home learning activities caregivers did with their children, and caregiver levels of education and income were not associated with number knowledge. While the home learning environment has been shown to be important for developing early numeracy skills in previous research, this study suggests that factors other than the home learning environment may also be important targets to foster numeracy skills and school readiness in low-income settings in South Africa.

PENINGKATAN KEMAMPUAN MEMAHAMI TEKS NARATIVE DENGAN METODE LEARNING BY DOING DI MASA PANDEMI SECARA DARING

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the world of education to change its system and use a new paradigm to deal with emerging problems. The government made a policy that ratified the independence of learning in the new era. All levels of society must prepare themselves to do face-to-face learning through online activities by utilizing technology within the framework of learning from home. Learning held using online media provides opportunities for students to develop themselves independently, guided by teachers in distance learning (PJJ) through online classes. Many new problems arise, not only faced by students but also by parents and teachers. This is due to not being familiar with PJJ. The problem faced by teachers is that it is difficult to control students let alone make them study seriously and effectively. The problem faced by parents is that not only do they not have the financial ability to provide information technology tools to carry out learning activities but also they do not have sufficient cognitive abilities to assist their sons and daughters in solving problems in lessons, so interesting methods are needed to solve this problem. . English as a foreign language is a big problem for students and parents to carry out learning without direct teacher assistance. Moreover, narrative text is a difficult material for students of SMP Negeri 2 Kepanjen to master. The researcher found that the learning by doing method initiated by Dewey would help students to better understand narrative texts. The researcher tried to apply this method to students in grade 9 ASMP N 2 Kepanjen for the 2020-2021 school year. After applying the method initiated by Dewey, there was a significant improvement in the ability to understand narrative texts. This can be seen from the value they get. The increase in value reached 31.4%. ABSTRAKMasa pandemi covid 19 telah membuat dunia pendidikan harus mengubah sistemnya dan menggunakan paradigma baru untuk menghadapi masalah yang mulai muncul. Pemerintah membuat kebijakan yang mengesahkan kemerdekaan dalam belajar di era baru. Semua lapisan masyarakat harus menyiapkan diri untuk melakukan pembelajaran tanpa tatap muka melalui kegiatan online dengan memanfaatkan teknologi dalam kerangka belajar dari rumah. Pembelajaran di selenggarakan dengan menggunakan media online memberikan kesempatan kepada siswa untuk mengembangkan diri secara mandiri dengan dipandu oleh guru dalam pembelajaran jarak jauh (PJJ) melalui kelas online. Banyak masalah baru yang muncul, bukan hanya dihadapi siswa tapi juga oleh orang tua siswa dan guru. Hal ini disebabkan oleh belum terbiasa dengan PJJ. Masalah yang dihadapi guru adalah sulitnya mengontrol siswa apalagi membuat mereka belajar dengan serius dan efektif. Masalah yang dihadapi orang tua siswa adalah bukan hanya mereka tidak mempunyai kemampuan secara finansial untuk menyediakan perangkat teknologi informasi untuk melakukan kegiatan belajar tapi juga mereka tidak memiliki kemampuan kognitif yang cukup untuk mendampingi putra putrinya menyelesaikan masalah dalam pelajaran, Sehingga metode menarik diperlukan untuk menyelesaikan masalah ini. Bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa asing adalah masalah besar bagi siswa dan orang tua untuk melakukan pembelajaran tanpa pendampingan guru secara langsung. Apalagi teks naratif adalah materi sulit untuk siswa SMP Negeri 2 Kepanjen kuasai. Peneliti menemukan bahwa metode learning by doing yang digagas oleh Dewey akan membantu peserta didik untuk lebih memahami teks naratif.Peneliti mencoba menerapkan metode ini kepada siswa kelas 9ASMP N 2 kepanjen tahun pelajaran 2020-2021. Setelah menerapkan metode yang digagas oleh Dewey ini ada peningkatan yang cukup signifikan dalam kemampuan memahami teks naratif. Ini bisa di lihat dari nilai yang mereka dapatkan. Kenaikan nilai mencapai 31,4%.
