DESIGN DEVELOPMENT LEARNING JOURNAL REFLECTION FOR THE MEDIA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER IN CONDUCTING CLASSROOM ACTION RESEARCH

Abstract

This research was conducted to determine: 1) How to develop the design of learning journals as a reflection of effective elementary school teacher used to conduct classroom action research?, 2) How the results of testing the use of learning journals as a reflection of primary school teachers in conducting action research class?, 3) What are the characteristics, advantages and limitations of learning journals as a reflection of primary school teachers in conducting action research class created?. The purpose of this study are: 1) Explore the development of design learning journals as a reflection of effective primary school teacher and find out the results of testing the use of learning journals as a reflection of primary school teachers in conducting action research class. 2) Identify the characteristics, advantages and limitations of learning journals as a reflection of primary school teachers in conducting action research class developed. Place of research in seven SDN Indramayu district. The research method through the following phases.
