Upaya Meningkatkan Hasil Belajar Matematika Siswa Kelas VIII-F SMP Negeri 22 Surabaya Melalui Penerapan Model Pembelajaran Problem Based Learning Tahun Pelajaran 2018-2019

Students' experience in solving problems through discovery is a prerequisite for students' critical and analytical thinking in constructing their learning outcomes, so that a knowledge system process will be formed in their students' memories that is ready to be reused when such knowledge is needed.
 Less optimal student learning outcomes are caused by several factors, one of which is the low attention and lack of concentration of students in following mathematics learning. Teachers often provide lessons in the form of lectures and questions and answers, so students are less motivated to develop creative thinking skills in solving problems.
 The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is an increase in student mathematics learning outcomes after the implementation of problem based learning learning models.
 This type of research is classroom action research with two cycles, where each cycle consists of activities of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data retrieval is carried out by a written test on two linear variables. This research was conducted in class VIII-F of SMP Negeri 22 Surabaya with 32 students.

Students� Analytical Thinking in Solving Problems of Polygon Areas

Elementary students� understanding of polygon areas concept is important in succeeding in their academic and daily life because the concept is broadly applied at schools and homes. Hence, a comprehensive understanding of the concept is required. The understanding can be seen from students� analytical thinking in facing a complicated problem. If a student does analytical thinking, the student can create a link between the concepts and predict what will happen. In fact, students frequently use procedural thinking to solve almost any type of problem, including non-routine problems. A study to reveal this phenomenon is thus important to conduct. This study aimed to describe students� analytical thinking in solving the polygon areas problems. To know the students� analytical thinking, the researcher gave problems toa team of mathematics Olympiad of elementary school students. Based on students� analytical answers, the researcher found (1) analytical and (2) semi-analytical thinking. Analytical thinking was characterized by algorithm clarity, chronological reasoning, valid argumentation, and effective steps. Semi-analytical thinking was characterized by a presence of �disturbing elements� which broke the chain of implications. The result of the study can be teachers� consideration in selecting teaching methods tailored to the students� thinking possibilities so that knowledge and learning experiences are well internalized.

Enhancing the teaching of introductory economics with a team-based, multi-section competition

ABSTRACTThe authors describe a unique approach to enhancing student learning at the introductory economics level that utilizes a multi-section, team-based competition. The competition is structured to supplement learning throughout the entire introductory course. Student teams are presented with current economic issues, trends, or events, and use economic tools and theories to comprehensively examine the topics. Students present their analyses in their own sections with one team from each section moving on to compete in an inter-section round. Students are judged on technicality, creativity, and applicability of economic concepts. The competition has the potential to advance students' creativity, collaboration, communication, and critical and analytical thinking skills, while enhancing their ability to apply foundational economic concepts to real-world settings.

Scientific Research Activity of Students Pre-Service Teachers of Sciences at University: The Aspects of Understanding, Situation and Improvement

The development of student abilities of scientific research activity (SRA) in the process of studies appears as a highly important area. In the course of studies, students not only increase their general competencies, acquire professional abilities and skills but also learn to conduct research. This does not mean that all students will build their careers in the field of scientific research in the future. The present life, labour market, the complexity of technology, etc. require at least minimum competencies in carrying out investigation. SRA should be universally stimulated and developed. Scientific research activity is not an entertainment but responsible, thorough work requiring a lot of self-independence. Such activity promotes student analytical thinking, the abilities of searching and using information are formed, they learn how to analyse the collected material, prepare reports, make research presentations, etc. The conducted qualitative research involved graduated students – pre-service teachers of sciences studying at Lithuanian universities. The research was conducted in January-February 2016 and based on the constructivist paradigm, suggesting that knowledge was not the final or uniform product. Teaching is an effective tool when students gain information thus stimulating active cognitive processes. The performed research has demonstrated that SRA questions remain crucial, the organization of such activity has specific weaknesses and improvement is not always carried out deliberately and purposefully, because the context, environment, conditions and requirements for education in general may differ. Improvement on SRA is not possible without empirical data based on the status. The research has revealed student understanding of SRA, its key strengths and weaknesses as well as allowed assessing the significance of such activity on the professional training of the pre-service teacher and on improving guidelines.

Teaching A Geographical Component In World History Curriculum

This article is devoted to the topic of teaching a geographical component in World History curriculum in American public high schools. Despite the fact that the federal legislation entitled No Child Left Behind (2001) declared geography as a "core" academic subject, geography was the only subject dropped from federal funding. As a result, geography as a separate subject in the majority of public schools around the country ceased to exist. California, New Mexico, and Rhode Island have adopted state standards of combined course of World History and Geography. However, a small geography segment included within the World History course has not been sufficient to provide students with a satisfactory level of geographical literacy. American students show their lack of geographical knowledge in one study after another even though the 21st century is an era of globalization and increasing international relationship. The geopolitical approach to teaching the World History course promoted in this paper can improve the situation significantly in a relatively short period of time. This geopolitical approach stresses the connection between history and geography. It involves an analysis of a countys economy, culture, domestic and foreign policies as directly connected to its geography. This approach improves students analytical thinking and conceptual understanding.

Can successful lawyers think in different languages?: Incorporating critical strategies that support learning lawyering skills for the practice of law in a global environment

In response to the globalization of the practice of law, law schools in the United States and other countries that are traditionally defined as belonging to the common law legal system have opened their doors to from different legal systems for whom English is a second language (ESL students or international students). Many of these programs have evolved without real assessment of the students' needs and how to meet those needs. After a number of resulting challenges, it became clear that in order to make such programs a success, law professors need to use special methodologies and strategies for teaching ESL students; they cannot use the approaches that have been successful with from common law countries. The essay focuses on two important discoveries relevant to this topic. First, it proposes teaching legal skills to ESL while using storytelling, a method that provides important background for one's understanding of the new legal system and culture. Second, it emphasizes the need for implementing complete immersion, a teaching methodology that will transform a student's analytical thinking into learning the law in a different language without any translation into her native language. The goal of both approaches is to assist the with their learning and comprehension of the legal analytical skills that are critical to the practice of law in the common law legal system and in a global multinational environment.
