The method that is explained below was developed by the author in an effort to aid a fifth-grade boy who was severely retarded in arithmetic achievement. All conventional methods of explaining place value, such as the abacus, pocket charts, Cuisenaire rods, etc., were too abstract for this child, and the use of the materials had not led to his developing understanding of concepts.

The concepts relating to place value in our decimal system involve what are probably some of the most difficult learning experiences that the primary child encounters. While many young children are able to tell “how many ones,” ”how many tens,” “how many hundreds” in a numeral, the teacher sometimes has reason to suspect that this skill is a superficial one, and that many conventional methods of presenting material intended to teach place value do not promote real internalization of the concepts involved or provide realistic mean for evaluation of learnings.

Teaching Experiments

Our comments here are based on interviews from two teaching experiments with fourth and fifth-grade chil dren. The students were taught many aspects of fractions using a variety of manipulative materials including circular and rect angular piece. Cuisenaire rods number lines, and chips. Each student had his or her own materials. Each worked independently, in small groups, and as a whole cl ass, spending much time talking about and performing a wide vari ety of fraction- related tasks.

This article introduces the “whole-number machine” and describes its use as an odometer in an addition game. This device was created for use with middle school students and can be used as a hands-on display as students review place-value concepts, practice computation of whole numbers, and explore large-number values and number names. The addition game described here has been tested with fifth-grade students whose motivation to play the game was influenced by the use of the “whole-number machine” as a calculating and recording device.

And Performance

This study was conducted to observe the effect of the Contextual teaching and learning (CTL) approach and learning motivation on the skills of writing Pantunof fifth graders in elementary school. This research was an experimental research with the subject of fifth grade students and carried out in Elementary School Cluster I Pariaman City. The research instruments were a learning motivation questionnaire and performance test. Data analysis was carried out using a two-way ANAVA and  t-test. Learning outcomes obtained by using the CTL approach to students was  higher than conventional methods, both low motivation and high motivation. CTL approach makes students more interested and enthusiastic in learning to write Pantun. As well as creating new experiences for students, it makes students active and learning more fun compared to conventional methods which make some students become passive

Spin-polarized scanning electron microscopy (spin SEM), where the secondary electron spin polarization is used as the image signal, is a novel technique for magnetic domain observation. Since its first development by Koike and Hayakawa in 1984, several laboratories have extensively studied this technique and have greatly improved its capability for data extraction and its range of applications. This paper reviews the progress over the last few years.Almost all the high expectations initially held for spin SEM have been realized. A spatial resolution of several hundreds angstroms has been attained, which is nearly one order of magnitude higher than that of conventional methods for thick samples. Quantitative analysis of magnetization direction has been performed more easily than with conventional methods. Domain observation of the surface of three-dimensional samples has been confirmed to be possible. One of the drawbacks, a long image acquisition time, has been eased by combining highspeed image-signal processing with high speed scanning, although at the cost of image quality. By using spin SEM, the magnetic structure of a 180 degrees surface Neel wall, magnetic thin films, multilayered films, magnetic discs, etc., have been investigated.

Based on the conception of sensation seeking as a need rather than a temperamental trait ( Hammelstein, 2004 ), we present a new assessment method, the Need Inventory of Sensation Seeking (NISS), which is considered to assess a motivational disposition. Three studies are presented: The first examined the factorial structure and the reliability of the German versions of the NISS; the second study compared the German and the English versions of the NISS; and finally, the validity of the NISS was examined in a nonclinical study and compared to the validity of conventional methods of assessing sensation seeking (Sensation Seeking Scale – Form V; SSS-V). Compared to the SSS-V, the NISS shows better reliability and validity in addition to providing new research possibilities including application in experimental areas.
