Kegiatan belajar di Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD) saat ini lebih banyak memanfaatkan alat atau teknologi kekinian yang minim aktifitas fisik. Akibatnya motorik anak kurang terlatih. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan motorik kasar anak usia dini melalui permaian sirkuit bola keranjang. Studi dilakukan di Kelompok B Taman Kanak-kanak Napabale Kelurahan Lalodati Kecamatan Puuwatu, Kota Kendari. Peneliti menerapkan prosedur penelitian tindakan. Nilai PAP 75% dijadikan sebagai standar keberhasilan secara klasikal. Tindakan dilakukan dalam 2 siklus, masing-masing siklus terdiri dari 2 pertemuan dan evaluasi hasil belajar. Hasil penelitian didapati permainan bola keranjang berhasil meningkatkan kemampuan motorik kasar anak usia dini. Permainan ini memenuhi prinsip-prinsip sebuah permainan sebagai media belajar di Pendidikan PAUD.
This study aimed to describe the implementation of microteaching activity by pre-service teachers in TEFL 2 class as well as to get an overview of the problems faced during microteaching so that they are able to improve the competence of teaching English later in both schools and other educational institutions. In this study, the method used was descriptive qualitative. The subject of the study were taken purposively by considering the achievement gained in previous subject namely in TEFL I class they reached the average value of 90 out of 100 with the number of subjects four (4) pre-service teachers. Data were collected through observation using video recording and field note as well as semi structured-interview. Aspects to be analyzed were methods used from opening, main, and closing activities by considering the characteristics of the method applied. The results of this study showed that Grammar Translation Method (GTM) and Audio-Lingual Method (ALM) became a method preference during the microteaching. Pre-service teachers showed no hesitation and well prepared in applying the methods. Translation activities, dialogue memorization, repetition technique, word pair technique, and game grammar technique were occurred. Problems faced were the gap between the theories and the practice of teaching methods such as lack of skills in facial and body expression, classroom management, and stresses with noises from classmates as the students
Rigorous questions in discussion learning method plays a dominant role in the successful delivery of lessons for slow learners at higher education. This study aims to propose a framework to achieve good critical thinking for slow learners through Rigorous Mathematics computational Thinking (RMcT) model. This study used qualitative approach to describe slow learner’s critical thinking by using RMcT model. The instruments used in this study were test instrument, critical thinking questionnaire, and interview guideline as supporting instrument to describe slow learner’s critical thinking through RMcT model. The subjects were college students in mathematics modelling course in mathematics education department. Based on critical thinking test results, slow learners could divide variable used in mathematics modelling. Based on questionnaire results, slow learner students build their own understanding and solve the problem based on their experience while answering the given question during learning process. In addition, the interview they feel that the instructor can mediated the problem by giving analogy to the other material. In summary, RMcT could mediate slow learner’s critical thinking as its characteristics (by using Rigorous questions). Findings are useful for designers, service providers and policy makers of special needs higher school when implementing teaching strategy to mediated real-life problems into mathematics modelling for slow learners.
This study was conducted to describe the teacher’s process of teaching English by implementing project-based learning method during the pandemic covid-19 by using Whatsapp. This study use qualitative design and the data collection techniques used observation sheet, and interview. The data analysis uses Miles Huberman and Saldana concept and the participant of this study only one teacher who teaches in the 7th grade at SMPS Kartika XX-6 Kendari. The results showed that based on the project-based learning steps in the 2013 curriculum, the teacher only applies 4 steps such as: 1) creating a set schedule means the teacher determines the time when student projects must be collected. 2) monitoring student projects because learning is done online, so teachers involve parents in monitoring students during the learning process and completing projects, 3) assessing student's outcomes, the teacher assigns a value to the student project according to the scoring rubric created, 4) evaluating students' experiences, the teacher provides feedback to students so they can correct the mistakes they made. The teacher gives a project in the form of a video regarding conversations about greetings, self-introductions and talking about daily activities with the aim that students get used to speaking in English. Project work is carried out individually by students due to the online learning process as a result of the covid-19 pandemic which was submitted by using WhatsApp.
