This research aimed to support and implement government programs of National Education in preparing Qualified and Creative Primary Teacher Candidates. Specific targets were (1) developing elementary Mathematics learning packages assisted by manipulative media, namely: (a) Student Books, (b) Student Worksheets, (c) Lesson Plan. The research design used modification and adaptation from 4-D model (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate), by Thiagarajan, et al (1974). The criteria which used as a reference for implementing the effectiveness of elementary school mathematics learning Packages were: (1) interaction of Student and (2) student learning outcomes. The results shows that the development of learning Package with a 4-D model that has been modified, starting from the front end analysis (Define), the initial design of learning packages (Design), until the trial step of Learning Package (Develop). Implementation and desimination have not been implemented. Elementary mathematics learning Packages assisted by manipulative media on number material are valid, effective, and practical to improve mathematical pedagogy skills of qualified and creative elementary school teachers candidates. The effectiveness of the learning packages meets the effective criteria by: (1) student activities when participating in high learning and (2) the learning outcomes of the teacher candidiates are complete with the average learning outcome is at 77.24 of the ideal score of 100 and the completeness test of the learning outcomes test with grades the probability of one sample t-test is 0.003 <0.05, which means that students' learning outcomes are complete.
The problem in this study is there are still many elementary students who have not been able to express ideas in writing. This study aims to describe the ability to write student descriptions through the Neighborhood Walk Strategy. Research data in the form of teacher teaching activities and student learning through observation format then the ability to writing descriptions through written tests. The implementation of the Neighborhood Walk strategy is carried out in two cycles, which consist of four stages, namely planning, implementing actions, observing, and reflecting. The results showed that the application of the Neighborhood Walk strategy to teacher teaching activities and student learning activities in Indonesian language learning after improvements occurred in each cycle were in good qualifications and the ability to write descriptions in the Good category. The conclusion of this research is that the application of the Neighborhood Walk Strategy can improve the ability to write description of students at Elementary School.
