Service Experiences

Today there is widespread concern for helping e leme nta ry school teachers acquire new mathematical knowledge. This is reflected in the vast number of inservice programs being conducted across the country. As yet, however, there has been no gene ral agreement on important goals or reasonable levels of achievement to be expected after a series of prescribed in-service experiences. Characteristically there has been no attempt to find out how much of the new mathematics curricula elementary school teachers understand.

The Past

Events in the past ten years have made it necessary and desirable for colleges and universities to increase their course requirements in mathematics for elementary school teachers. There has been little or no opposition to this trend except as one finds it in individual colleges when there is a proposal to change course requirements. In mathematics the change has been in the direction of doubling or trebling the number of credits in mathematics required of prospective elementary teachers.

Geometric Shapes

Elementary school teachers, preservice or inservice, are not usually given the background in geometry that they need. Some college courses for elementary teachers contain no study of geometry. Those courses that do contain geometry may be limited to traditional topics in measurement, some terminology, and certain facts concerning familiar geometric shapes; or they may review the definitions, theorems, and proofs that the teacher has already had in high school. Judging on hearsay, experience, and an analysis of current mathematics texts for teachers, few courses are providing the teacher with what is needed.

Recent Meeting

At the recent meeting of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics held in New York City,* one elementary school panel dealt with the problem of providing better instruction in mathematics to gifted students. Thus far, most attempts to meet the needs of gifted students have depended upon horizontal enrichment. A difficulty has been that most elementary teachers lack sufficient knowledge of mathematics to make enrichment programs successful. The mathematics preparation of elementary school teachers must be improved.

Lack Of Knowledge

Distance Learning (PJJ) began to be applied by all teachers in Indonesia during the Covid Pandemic including teacher who taughtat the Elementary School (SD) level. The application of this learning is not as easy as what many people talk about, because teachers must be able to select and design instrucctional media using technology. The problem ezperienced by teacher, especially in the regions, is the lack of knowledge in making technology-based learning media, especially learning media that can be used as an evaluation material for Distance Learning (PJJ). As a solution tothis problem, our team conducted training on making google forms for elementary teachers as a medium for evauating Distance Learning (PJJ) during the pandemic. The ethod we provide for this community service activity is by providing direct training to elementary school teachers, making simole modules, and providing assitance in making google form evaluation media. The result of this services activity is that as many as 20 teachers who participated in the training were able to create and design their own google form according to the needs of each subject as a media for evaluation of Distance Learing (PJJ. In addition, based on the results of the questionnaire filled out by the teachers who attended the training, it shows that 90% of the teachers understand how to make google forms themselves and 100% of  the teachers   are happy with the training acivities that have been held.Keyword: google form, pjj, evaluation learning

Abstrak: Faktanya, masih ada beberapa guru SD yang menulis artikel di koran atau mempresentasikan artikel mereka di seminar regional / nasional. Akibatnya, mereka akan menghadapi kendala dalam meningkatkan nilai mereka. Berdasarkan survei, kami menemukan bahwa banyak guru SD di Desa Sagaranten Kecamatan Ciwaru Kab.Kuningan masih belum tahu bagaimana membuat artikel yang bagus. Juga, tidak ada Jurnal untuk guru SD sebagai media bagi mereka dalam mengirimkan artikel mereka untuk memiliki beberapa kredit. Berdasarkan kasus itu, tim layanan masyarakat mencoba memberi mereka beberapa pelatihan bagaimana merancang penelitian kelas, dan bagaimana membuat artikel yang bagus. Dengan memiliki ini, mereka diharapkan dapat menemukan topik mereka dan merancang penelitian kelas mereka, kemudian mereka akan membuat artikelnya yang dapat dikirim ke surat kabar atau jurnal. Secara otomatis, mereka akan memiliki beberapa kredit untuk menaikkan nilai mereka dan mereka akan sejahtera. Pelatihan diberikan kepada 50 guru SD dari Desa Sagarenten. Kami menemukan bahwa sebenarnya ada satu guru yang memiliki pengalaman dalam melakukan penelitian kelas, tetapi masih ada banyak guru yang kurang dalam membuat penelitian dan artikel. Setelah memahami materi, mereka mencoba membuat penelitian di ruang kelas dan merancangnya menjadi sebuah artikel.Kata-kata kunci; menulis artikel, penelitian kelas, kreditAbstract: In fact, there are still some elementary school teachers who write articles in newspapers or present their articles at regional / national seminars. As a result, they will face obstacles in increasing their value. Based on the survey, we found that many elementary teachers in Sagaranten Village Ciwaru District Kab.Kuningan still do not know how to make a good article. Also, there is no Journal for elementary teachers as a medium for them in submitting their articles to have some credits. Based on the case, the community service team tried to give them some training on how to design classroom research, and how to create good articles. By having this, they are expected to find their topic and design their classroom research, then they will create an article that can be sent to a newspaper or journal. Automatically, they will have some credit to raise their value and they will prosper. Training was given to 50 elementary school teachers from Sagarenten Village. We found that there is actually one teacher who has experience in conducting classroom research, but there are still many teachers who are lacking in making research and articles. After understanding the material, they try to make research in the classroom and design it into an article.Keywords; writing articles, research classes, credit

This paper presents a study conducted with 83 Romanian elementary school teachers about their representations of Financial Education (FE) and the importance of teaching it in school. The teachers responded to an online survey about their perceptions and their needs to teach Financial Literacy (FL). The preliminary results show that most of the teachers recognize the importance of learning FL. Their rationale for the importance of financial education in schools range from rational arguments, to citizenships arguments with sociocultural arguments in between.

Preservice elementary school teachers (PSTs) often have difficulty understanding hierarchical (i.e., class inclusion) relationships between geometric shapes. In particular, PSTs' predisposition to place squares and rectangles in separate categories can be attributed to their concept images. Although the larger mathematics community prefers the hierarchical definitions of special quadrilaterals, the concept images of special quadrilaterals such as squares and rectangles that PSTs develop in their early experiences contribute to a preference for partitional definitions. This study examines the benefits and limitations of using the Shape Makers curriculum unit to modify preservice teachers' concept images and their definitions of special quadrilaterals.

Today one need read only a small portion of the educational literature to note a concem for the mathematical competence of those persons who arc preparing for positions as elementary school teachers [1].* Leaders in education are becoming concerned because many studies have shown that pro pective elementary teachers and elementary teachers-in-service lack an understanding of arithmetic concepts and processes.
