The effect of a dynamic program on developing some cognitive-motor abilities for second grade primary school Students

Research objectives are: - Preparing the kinetic games program to develop some cognitive-kinetic abilities for second grade primary students. - recognize the effect of using the Kinetic Games program in developing some cognitive abilities - the kinematic for the second elementary grade students. Research hypotheses: - There are statistically significant differences between pre and posttests of the experimental and control group. - There are statistically significant differences between the post-tests of the experimental and control groups and in favor of the experimental group. The experimental method was used, and the curriculum was applied to the second elementary class students (40) students, and they were randomly divided into two experimental and control groups, and at a rate of (20) students in each group, the experimental group applied the motor games program prepared by the researcher, either The control group applied the traditional physical education program of the school. The two programs were implemented with (9) educational units each and by two educational units in the week

Education, work and creation: ways for developing technological education of schoolchildren in Russia

The authors touch upon the problem of the development of additional technological education in Russian schools by comparing it with the situation in Western countries. Aim: strong requirements for inventions of schoolchildren should be established, a clear sequence of their teaching in invention and creation should be developed. Methods: methodology for teaching schoolchildren to invent and create something that has not existed before in different age groups is presented; a patent for a utility model developed jointly with schoolchildren participating in the system of additional technological education in Lipetsk seem to be important results of this study. Results: the authors considered ways to improve the effectiveness of teaching schoolchildren to invent in the field of additional technological education, taking into account current problems and trends. The systematic training of schoolchildren from elementary grade to middle and senior grades normally gives a positive result during the formation of divergent thinking, which translates into the child's ability to generate a variety of ideas for improving technical objects and creation as such. Attracting the capabilities of enterprises to organize an authentic educational process is relevant, too, as long as the project activities are designed to form the skills of independent work, creative and research activities.

Effects of a Content Knowledge Intervention on Instruction and Learning: A Pilot Study

The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the effects of improving a physical education teacher’s content knowledge and, in turn, the teacher’s instructional effectiveness and student learning in an upper elementary physical education setting. Four classes were randomly assigned to either a comparison condition (n4th = 9 students; n5th = 17) or an intervention condition (n4th = 7; n5th = 10). The teacher taught both conditions. The teacher first taught two classes in the comparison condition in a manner that he had taught for the past five years. Following the completion of the teaching, he received a content knowledge workshop. After the workshop, the teacher taught two classes in the intervention condition. Assessment of the teacher following the workshop showed that he obtained higher content knowledge scores than prior to the workshop. These improvements in content knowledge positively impacted his enacted teaching with more appropriate task selection and better instruction. Student learning also significantly improved in the intervention condition, not in the comparison condition, from pre- to posttest. The findings of this study extend the research demonstrating the effectiveness of improving the content knowledge of teachers in impacting student learning, in this case in the upper elementary grade band.

PENGEMBANGAN MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN ATM BKC (BACA KERJAKAN COCOKKAN) UNTUK MENINGKATKAN PRESTASI BELAJAR SISWA PADA MATA PELAJARAN MATEMATIKA KELAS IV SD MUHAMMADIYAH SENGGOTAN YOGYAKARTA

This research purpose to: (1) study the development of ATM BKC learning media, (2) assess the eligibility of ATM BKC for Elementary grade IV math as learning media as evaluated by material expert, media expert, teachers’ response, students’ response and (3) assess the progress in students’ academic achievement in elementary grade IV math lesson based on their scores. This research took place in Elementary School (SD) MuhammadiyahSenggotan during 2018/2019 academic year. Development procedures encompassed: analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation also known as ADDIE. Data collection technique relied on observation leaf concerning completion of learning, questionnaire and test. Data analysis makes use of score percentage, tables, score interpretation and t-test using paired sample t-test. The result of the research can be described as follows: (1) the development of ATM BKC media using ADDIE procedure contains 5 stages i.e. analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation; (2) ATM BKC media is eligible for learning practice. Score from material expert is 34 with very good qualification; score from media expert in 36 with very good qualification, teachers’ response questionnaire in preliminary field testing resulted in score 36 with very good qualification, students’ response during preliminary field testing resulted in percentage 97,5% with very good qualification, students’ response in main field testing is 79%^ with very good qualification. (3) ATM BKC media can improve students’ academic achievement as evidenced by the result of before group’s pretest score 45,5. As for after group their score is 50 in pretest and 78 in posttest. Therefore it can be concluded that the posttest score of pupils in SD Senggotan had improved. The scores of both before group and after group has sig. (2-tailed) score 0,000 <0,05. Therefore it can be concluded that ATM BKC under development already and is capable of improving students’ academic achievement in math lesson mixed numbers calculation.

THE EFFECT OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF GOOGLE CLASSROOM DIGITAL MEDIA FOR THE EASY OF TEACHERS IN ASSESSING LEARNING OUTCOMES

The rapid development of technology demands innovation and creativity in learning activities. Especially in the midst of a pandemic such as this time learning activities must still be carried out by implementing learning activities from home. Online learning by utilizing technology becomes a solution in overcoming these problems. One way that can be used to do the learning process online is to use Google Classroom digital media. This study aims to determine the effect of the application of Google Classroom digital media on the ease of teachers in assessing student learning outcomes. The research approach used is a quantitative approach with descriptive methods. This research involved 50 elementary grade IV teachers in Lamongan District. Data collection techniques used in this study include a closed questionnaire. Based on the results of the analysis discussed, it is known that t count> t table = 6,066> 1,970. So it can be concluded that the application of Google Classroom digital media influences the ease of teachers in the assessment of learning outcomes. Google classroom makes it easy for teachers to monitor student learning activities without being bound by time limits or class hours.
