In light of Lang’s differentiation of the aversive and the approach system – and assumptions stemming from attachment theory – this study investigates the role of the approach or caregiving system for processing infant emotional stimuli by comparing IAPS pictures, infant pictures, and videos. IAPS pictures, infant pictures, and infant videos of positive, neutral, or negative content were presented to 69 mothers, accompanied by randomized startle probes. The assessment of emotional responses included subjective ratings of valence and arousal, corrugator activity, the startle amplitude, and electrodermal activity. In line with Lang’s original conception, the typical startle response pattern was found for IAPS pictures, whereas no startle modulation was observed for infant pictures. Moreover, the startle amplitudes during negative video scenes depicting crying infants were reduced. The results are discussed with respect to several theoretical and methodological considerations, including Lang’s theory, emotion regulation, opponent process theory, and the parental caregiving system.

Abstract. The present study examined physiological reactivity to emotional stimuli as a function of attachment style. Skin conductance responses (SCRs) and heart rate (HR) changes were simultaneously recorded while participants engaged in a visual attentional task. The task included positive, neutral, and negative emotional pictures, and required the identification of a target (neutral picture rotated 90° to the left or right), among a stream of pictures in which an emotional distracter (positive or negative) was presented. Participants additionally rated each of the emotional distracters for valence and arousal. Behavioral results on the attentional task showed that positive pictures facilitated overall target detection for all participants, compared to negative and neutral pictures, and that anxiously attached participants had significantly lower accuracy scores, relative to the other groups. Affective ratings indicated that positive pictures were rated as being more pleasant than negative ones, although no differences were found in HR changes to picture valence. In contrast, negative pictures were evaluated as being highly arousing. Consistent with this, negative pictures elicited larger SCRs in both insecure anxious and avoidant groups, especially for the anxious while the secure group showed SCRs unaffected by stimuli’s arousal. Present results show that individuals with different attachment styles reveal distinct patterns of attentional bias, appraisal, and physiological reactivity toward emotionally arousing stimuli. These findings further highlight the regulatory function of the attachment system.

Education is a conscious and systematic effort not only to humanize human beings but also for human beings to realize their position as khalifatullah fil ardhi, which in turn will increasingly increase itself to be a pious, faithful, knowledgeable and virtuous man. In general the problems formulated in this research is whether Implementation of Contextual Learning with Learning Community approach can improve student's motivation and achievement in FIQH study field? How Implementation of Contextual Learning has a Learning Community approach that can improve students' motivation and achievement in FIQH? Field. This research was conducted in Mojokerto Regency, precisely at MI Mambaul Hidayah Mengelo Sooko Mojokerto. This research is a classroom action research with collaborative type. This research phase follows a model developed by Kemmis and Taggart, which is a spiral cycle that includes planning activities, action execution, observation, and reflection. The data collection techniques used are: (1) observation; (2) measurement of learning result test; and (3) documentation. Data obtained from the action are then analyzed. Qualitative data consisting of observation and documentation are analyzed qualitatively, while data collected in the form of numbers or quantitative data, simply by using descriptive analysis and visual presentation. Based on the results of research that has been implemented can be concluded that the Implementation of Contextual Learning with Learning Community approach can improve student's motivation and achievement in the field of FIQH study. From the data in the field shows that there is an increase in student learning motivation that the initial average value of pre-test of 20 increased to 24 or about 20% in cycle I, in cycle II more increased to 31 or about 55%, and in cycle III the more increased to 45 or about 125%. Level of increase between cycle I with cycle II about 29%, between cycle II with cycle III about 45%, between cycle III with cycle I about 87%. With the increase of students' learning motivation, their learning achievement also increased, whereas the average value of pre test of 6.60 increased to 6.84 or about 4% in cycle I, in cycle II more increased again to 7.75 or about 17 %, and in cycle III it increases to 8.80 or about 35%. The level of improvement between cycle I with cycle II is about 13%, between cycle II with cycle III about 15%, between cycle III with cycle I about 30%.

Tujuan Penelitian Tindakan kelas ini untuk mendeskripsikan pembelajaran kontekstual fokus Discovery dalam meningkatkan kemampuan menelaah struktur dan unsur kebahasaan dari teksdeskripsi tentang objek (sekolah, tempat wisata, tempat bersejarah, dan atau suasana pentas seni daerah).Pada siklus I ini rata-rata pencapaian siswa dalam belajar baru mencapai nilai 76.43dari 21 siswa. Tingkat ketuntasan pembelajaran di kelas hanya mencapai 66,67%, padahal standar yang dipersyaratkan adalah 85%. Hasil pengamatan yang dilakukan observer menunjukkan beberapa fakta pengelolaan pembelajaran yang belum maksimal, terutama dalam pelayanan kelompok siswa yang kurang merata. Hal ini disebabkan oleh jumlah kelompok belajar di kelas yang relatif banyak, yakni 5 kelompok.Dengan demikian, pembelajaran kompetensi dasarmenelaah struktur dan unsur kebahasaan dari teksdeskripsi tentang objek (sekolah, tempat wisata, tempat bersejarah, dan atau suasana pentas seni daerah) yang didengar dan dibaca masih belum mencapai tingkat yang diharapkan sehingga diperlukan perlakuan tindakan pada siklus II.Kata kunci: prestasi siswa, teks deskripsi, DiscoveryResearch Objectives this class action is to describe the contextual learning of Discovery's focus in improving the ability to study the structure and linguistic elements of the description text about objects (schools, tourist attractions, historic sites, or the atmosphere of local performing arts). In this first cycle, the average student achievement in learning only reached a value of 76.43 out of 21 students. The level of mastery learning in class only reaches 66.67%, whereas the required standard is 85%. The observations made by the observer show some facts of learning management that have not been maximized, especially in the uneven service of student groups. This is caused by the relatively large number of study groups in the class, which is 5 groups. Thus, learning basic competence examines the structure and linguistic elements of the text description of objects (schools, tourist attractions, historical places or the atmosphere of local art performances) that are heard and read still not reaching the level expected so that action treatment is needed in cycle II.Keywords: student achievement, description text, Discovery

This study aims to determine the effect of formative assessment and learning approach to the mathematics learning outcome after controlling the numerical aptitude. It was a quasi-experiment with a sample of 186 students obtained by using multistage random sampling technique with 2x2 factorial designs. The data were analyzed by ANCOVA. After controlling the numerical aptitude, the results are: the mathematics learning outcome of the students who followed a contextual approach was better than the ones who followed a conventional learning approach, the mathematics learning outcome of the students who were given a performance assessment was better than the ones who were given a conventional assessment, the interaction between the learning approach and formative assessment affected the students learning outcome for mathematics, the students who followed a contextual learning approach were more suitable to be given a performance assessment, whereas the ones who followed a conventional learning approach were more appropriate to be given a conventional assessment. Based on the research findings, junior high school teachers are suggested to improve their students learning outcome for mathematics. Then, teachers need to use a learning approach and formative assessment accurately and correctly.
