Contextual Teaching

This research is motivated by the large number of students who find it difficult to understand the concept of mathematics because generally mathematics is an abstract subject so that the teacher must strive for learning to be concrete by applying learning that can relate the concept to the real life of students. One of the efforts is to apply a contextual teaching and learning approach to present learning that is full of abstract concepts to have a close relationship with students' daily lives. This type of research is a classroom action research conducted in class IV / A SDN 003 Sungai Salak. The number of research subjects was 24 students. The instrument used to analyze students' conceptual understanding used a multiple choice concept comprehension test. The results showed that students' understanding of mathematical concepts in the first cycle was 68.61 with 17 students who completed or 70.83%. In cycle II students' understanding of mathematical concepts increased to 71.11 with classical completeness of 83.33% where as many as 20 students were able to achieve the specified completeness. The conclusion based on the results of this study is that the application of the contextual teaching and learning approach can improve the understanding of the mathematical concepts of grade IV / A students of SDN 003 Sungai Salak on the subject of circumference and area of simple flat shapes.

A system of vertical drains combined with vacuum preloading is an effective method for promoting radial flow to accelerate soil consolidation. This study presents the analytical modeling of the consolidation of vertical drains incorporating vacuum preloading considering both vertical and horizontal drainage. The effects of a number of dimensionless parameters involving the drain length, soil permeability, and vacuum pressure are examined through average excess pore pressure, degree of consolidation, associated settlement, and time factor analyses. An analysis of selected case histories compliments the use of the proposed solutions. Design charts are also presented for practical use.Key words: analytical solution, consolidation, design charts, vertical drains.

Efficient Learning

There can be a range of reasons to record lectures or presentations, from the creation of resources to meeting the needs of distant students. Of course recordings are one-way. The information in them flows from the recorded file to students and student interaction with recordings is generally limited to interacting with the controls of the player, that is, they can pause, stop, and replay the recording in part or in its entirety. It can be argued that this interaction adds another level of access to educational presentations. While this low level of interaction can have positive educational outcomes it cannot be equated with interactions between students and teachers. Clearly the person-to-person interactions have the potential for far greater educational outcomes ranging from the answering of questions to the exploration and extension of the subject area. In cases where students are distant from teachers and interact with recorded resources other technologies and techniques are need to provide viable two-way communications channels between them. All learning technologies impose on teaching and learning activities and recordings of presentations are no exception. It is argued that recordings by themselves seldom, if ever, are sufficient for effective and efficient learning in higher education. However, it is suggested that recordings when used in conjunction with other learning technologies and techniques can be a fundamental part of the learning experience.

The Subject

Lam [1], explained how mathematics is not only a technical subject but also a cultural one. As such, mathematical proofs and definitions, instead of simply numerical calculations, are essential for students when learning the subject. Hence, there must be a change in Hong Kong’s local teachers’ pedagogies. This author suggests three alternative way to teach mathematical philosophy through infinity. These alternatives are as follows: 1. Teach the concept of a limit in formalism through story telling, 2. Use geometry to intuitively learn infinity through constructivism, and 3. Implement schematic stages for proof by contradiction. Simultaneously, teachers should also be aware of the difficulties among students in understanding different abstract concepts. These challenges include the following: 1. Struggles with the concept of a limit, 2.Mistakes in intuitively computing infinity, and 3. Challenges in handling the method of proof by contradiction. Adopting these alternative approaches, can provide the necessary support to pupils trying to comprehend the above mentioned difficult mathematical ideas and ultimately transform students’ beliefs [2]. One can analyze these changed beliefs against the background of con-ceptual change. According to Davis [3], “this change implies conceiving of teaching as facili-tating, rather than managing learning and changing roles from the sage on the stage to a guide on the side”. As a result, Hong Kong’s academic results in mathematics should hopefully improve.

The Way

The basics for preparing teaching materials are very important. The very first thing to consider when you are planning a learning experience is what exactly you intend your students to learn. Onsider the approach you would like students to take to their learning in your subject (The way in which you intend student to learn will, in many respects, dictate how you teach). Plan to evaluate your teaching and the subject regularly. Regular evaluation will enable you to improve the quality of the course and your teaching. This can be done by keeping a journal of activities and changes you would like to make (and the reasons for them!), by having other teachers 'sit in' on some classes, by asking the students what they have understood to be most important in each session, by having a focus group of students discuss important teaching and learning issues, and by using the Student Feedback Survey system.

Through analyzing excess pore pressure dissipation datum measured by CPTU probe and pore pressure mini-transducers on CPTU model test, the consolidation coefficient of soil of CPTU model test has been computed. Based on axis-symmetric consolidation model and Terzaghi consolidation theory, the computing equation of soil horizontal consolidation coefficient on CPTU model test has been acquired; on CPTU model test 50% degree of consolidation has been applied as calculate standard to compute soil horizontal consolidation coefficient, and dissipating time of 50% degree of consolidation can be acquired by normalized excess pore pressure dissipation curves based on excess pore pressure dissipation datum; through a series of indoor consolidation tests, the consolidation coefficient of remolded soil of CPTU model test sampling by horizontal and vertical direction has been acquired, and the results show that vertical consolidation coefficient is about 1.6 times greater than horizontal consolidation coefficient on indoor consolidation test, and large difference between horizontal and vertical property of remolded clay soil on CPTU model test has been existed; compared with the value of two test methods, the value of horizontal consolidation coefficient acquired by CPTU model test is roughly 100 times greater than the value of horizontal consolidation coefficient acquired by indoor consolidation test. The achieved result can provide a foundation for further study for CPTU mechanism.

The Subject

The subject of alignment is not new to the world of education. Today however, it has come to mean different things and to have a heuristic value in education according to research in different areas, not least for neuroscience, and to attention to skills and to the alternation framework.This paper, after looking at the classic references that already attributed an important role to alignment in education processes, looks at the strategic role of alignment in the current context, outlining the shared construction processes and focusing on some of the ways in which this is put into effect.Alignment is part of a participatory, enactive approach that gives a central role to the interaction between teaching and learning, avoiding the limits of behaviourism, which has a greater bias towards teaching, and cognitivism/constructivism, which focus their attention on learning and in any case, on that which separates a teacher preparing the environment and a student working in it.
