REVEALING EXPRESSIONS OF HAPPINESS AND SADNESS IN STUDENTS’S ESSAYS BY GRADE 3rd AND 5th ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Psycholinguistics study is a study that focuses on language acquisition, both normal language acquisition (children in general), and language acquisition for children with special needs. Each person's language acquisition goes through a different process. The acquisition of the language is obtained from several factors that support the individual. This is evidenced by several other supporting factors such as environmental factors, age, intelligence, education, talent, demand, and others. This study will try to focus on the study of language acquisition taken from the essays of 3rd and 5th grade elementary school students. By using the theme “My Hope”, the researcher took two samples of student essays by partitioning two essays from 3rd grade elementary school students and two essays from 5th grade students as a form of comparison. The four essays obtained will later be compared how they express their expressions of happiness and sadness in their essays. The results of this study indicate that not all students who experience homeschooling do not have skills in processing written language. Likewise with they levels. A high level does not necessarily indicate that the student is able to process written language well. This research is a type of qualitative descriptive research. This research consists of three stages, namely the stage of data collection, data analysis, and exposure of the results of data analysis. The data collection technique carried out in this study consisted of one stage, namely the analysis of students' thinking processes through tests. The data analysis technique in this study used the analysis of morphological and syntactic elements that were adjusted to age and level (class). This analysis is used to determine the emergence of an element that is a reflection of the child's competence or is a new competence that they get.

Perceived learning in virtual reality and animation-based learning environments: A case of the understanding our body topic

This paper reports on a study aiming at examining the effects of virtual reality and animations on students’ perceived learning. The study was conducted as an exploratory case study in virtual reality-based and animation-based environments. Participants were 12, 4th grade elementary school students enrolled at a public Science and Art Center. The data in the study were obtained by interview and observation method. The findings of the study presented according to the readiness, learning performances, affective gains and interaction in terms of perceived learning. While immersion is found as a positive feature that is robust in virtual reality-based environment, limited interactivity somewhat negatively influenced perceived learning in animation-based learning environment. While virtual reality-based learning environment provided high student-content interaction, surprisingly this caused some un-realistic perceptions of students about their own learning. The study also informed designers on the relations between perceived learning, learning performances and design features of virtual reality and animation-based learning environments.

It can be concluded that the problem solving indicators of alternative energy source materials show significant results.

Exploring Factors That Influence Computational Thinking Skills in Elementary Students’ Collaborative Robotics

Recently educational robotics has expanded into curriculum beyond traditional STEM fields, and which can also be used to foster computational thinking (CT) skills. Prior research has shown numerous interdisciplinary benefits related to CT, however, these influential factors have often been investigated with relatively few variables. This study investigated factors that may lead to 4th and 5th grade elementary school students’ development of computational thinking skills in collaborative robotics activities by hypothesizing a model which proposed that a problem solving inventory, intrinsic motivation, and enjoyment were the main predictors of computational thinking skills. The model was then tested by surveying students with several psychometric inventories where a revised model was then constructed. The study found significant relationships between perceived competence and enjoyment, and learning motivation, and intrinsic motivation. Another important finding was that problem solving was a significant predictor of computational thinking skills. Results were interpreted with reference to implications for possible means of improving learning outcomes when using collaborative robotics in an educational setting.

Critical Multiliteration: An Alternative Learning Model for Developing Metacognition Skills in Elementary School Students

The critical multiliteration learning model is applied to the experimental group and the traditional model is applied to the control group. The two groups were chosen not randomly but were chosen based on certain considerations. The number of samples in this study were 220 students with different academic abilities (low, medium, high). Pretest and posttest data were collected using essay questions. The data analysis of this study used the normality test, homogeneity test, and t test / mann-whitney test. The results show that there are interesting findings that the critical multiliteration learning model can significantly develop metacognitive thinking skills of elementary school students compared to traditional models. The results of this study contribute to the field of curriculum design and educational practitioners to improve the gap in the quality of education and enhance students’ metacognitive thinking skills effectively.

Elementos associados à proficiência em Matemática: um estudo aplicado as escolas públicas em Alagoas

RESUMO: Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar os fatores associados ao desempenho educacional de estudantes das escolas públicas de Alagoas. Considera-se como variável dependente as notas obtidas pelos alunos da 4ª série/5ºano do ensino fundamental nos testes de Matemática e como fatores explicativos do desempenho estudantil as características do ambiente escolar, características da família e fatores individuais dos estudantes. A metodologia empregada tem como base um modelo hierárquico, recomendado para lidar com a natureza hierarquizada de dados educacionais. Em linhas gerais, os resultados indicam que a proficiência é fortemente influenciada pelas características pessoais e familiares do aluno, tais como: gênero, cor, escolaridade da mãe, condição em relação ao trabalho, cumprimento do dever, etc. Entre as variáveis escolares destaca-se a infraestrutura física ofertada pelas escolas e a presença de professores com ensino superior. Deste modo, conclui-se que a nota em matemática na série analisada é altamente influenciada por atributos do aluno, mas as escolas também agregam valor ao desempenho dos estudantes. O modelo demonstra que a condição de trabalho do estudante se comporta diferentemente entre as escolas. No mais, constatou-se que o efeito do envolvimento da família afeta menos o desempenho quando a proporção de alunos em atraso na escola é maior. 
 PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Desempenho Escolar, Prova Brasil, Modelo Hierárquico.

Peran Metode Cooperative Learningdalam Pengembangan Empati Siswa Kelas VI SD X di Kota Cimahi

Schools had a great influence on children in developing their potential, but most only focus on the development of cognition even though the interaction of students with the environment was needed. This became important to apply active and interactive learning methods, but errors in the selection of learning methods often occur so that the ability of student interaction with the environment was hampered. The delay of this interaction had an impact on the development of empathy, so this study had been conducted to determine the role of cooperative learning in developing empathy in 6th grade elementary school. The study had been conducted on 6th grade students who had applied the cooperative learning method in class 5 with different intensities. The study design used quasi-experimental, to prove the causal relationship between independent variable and dependent variable through a projective measuring tool that contains 9 scenarios, used Posttest-Only Design with Nonequivalent Groups. The results indicated the role of cooperative learning in the development of empathy based on comparative testing in each class using Kruskal-Wallis at 34,673 (P-value = 0,000). The intensity of the implementation of cooperative learning was very influential on the development of student empathy. The data also showed the differences in the development of empathy in each category of distress situations due to the implementation of cooperative learning. Thus, cooperative learning could be one of the stimulations to develop children's empathy, especially the condition of peer interaction could be a trigger for children in developing empathy skills in their environment.

Aspectos de oralidade em manuais de língua portuguesa da rede municipal de ensino de São João do Cariri - PB

Our research aims to describe and analyze orality activities proposed in two 6th grade elementary school textbooks, used as one of the main teaching resources in Portuguese language classes in two public schools in the municipal network of São João do Cariri-PB. Our analysis is characterized by a qualitative, descriptive, explanatory and bibliographic approach (GIL, 2008). As for the theoretical basis, we adhere to what the Portuguese Language PCNs recommend regarding the orality axis, as well as the assumptions of Benveniste (2005), Marcuschi (2008), Ferrarezi Jr. (2014), Dell'Isola (2016) and Rodrigues and Dantas (2015). The results indicate that the didactic materials analyzed still demand a better development of activities that contemplate oral genres of public life, as well as the oralization of texts in socially significant

The Effect of Programming Classes with Tangible Scratch Blocks on the Programming Interest of 6th Grade Elementary School Students

In this paper, we introduce an original, classroom-based approach for teaching Scratch programming to 6th grade elementary school students. Scratch is a programming language that involves assembling icon-based command blocks. It was designed to avoid the complex syntax errors seen in other programming languages, making it especially accessible for younger learners. While Scratch does provide a visual programming environment in which potentially just about anyone can learn to read and write programming code, there can still be a reduced overall interest in learning programming, because younger learners in particular can find it difficult to intuitively understand or be stimulated by abstract concepts of programming such as sequences, conditions, and repetition, which are present in Scratch. Our research involves the development of a tangible, electronic block system that allows students to manipulate physical objects with their hands to perform programming tasks. The system consists of a Scratch simulator and physical, Scratch electronic blocks embodying Scratch user interface shapes. We devised and delivered a programming course to 6th grade Korean elementary school students using our block system. The results are encouraging.

A total of 1862 students in the first (n = 480), second (n = 450), third (n = 471) and fourth (n = 461) classes participated in the study. The Draw-a-Scientist Test (DAST) developed by Chambers (1983) was used to determine the views of students about scientists. The content of the collected data was analyzed. It was found that the majority of the students, in total and at all grades, drew pictures of male scientists. It was determined that they made drawings of scientists who were in daily clothes, had well-groomed hair and were working in different environments (nature, space, etc.).

Practical Learning of Science for Elementary School Students via Programming and Control Experimentation

In Japan, it has been decided that programming education will be required in elementary schools from 2020. In the new study guidelines, new programming subjects will not be established, but programming will be handled within existing subjects such as mathematics and science. Therefore, it is desirable to conduct independent research by analyzing information with programming related to existing subjects. Based on the above, we developed a teaching material on temperature control programming that uses heat generated by heating wire in the unit of “Use of electricity” in the 6th-grade elementary school. In this paper, after considering the index of the control performance, teaching materials using temperature control are introduced.
