The phase of the J. H. S. movement which is of vital and immediate interest to us is the teaching of mathematics in this school unit. However, the problems that require consideration in connection with this branch of the curriculum are necessarily related to the problems of the whole movement and must be solved with due regard for that relation. Among the problems to which I refer are those of aim, subject-matter, method, sequence of subjects and the time element.

Throughout the teaching of mathematics there is a tendency to overestimate the degree of transfer of learning. In our student days we have all had our frustrating moments with the likes of “… the remainder of the proof is obvious and will be left as an exercise for the student.”

Malang has many kinds of traditional art and music and it is important that young people are aware of their local art and music as part of their cultural identity. The purpose of this research was to explore Malang traditional art and music which could be used as learning materials for junior high school students, especially for art and culture subject matter. This research used a qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews, field observation and documentation analysis. The results showed that there is traditional art in Malang which can be used for this purpose, namely pottery from Penanggungan sub-district and batik from Celaket sub-district, which both use traditional elements. This research also identified the traditional music called Malangan Macapat which is different to Central Java Macapat. The conclusion was that these forms of Malang traditional art and music can be developed as learning materials for art and culture subject matter for junior high school students.   Keywords: education, art, music, learning materials, traditional

There has never been a more interesting time to be teaching mathematics. The new programs are rich in subject matter and are a challenge to students and teachers a like. We are building mathematical concepts in addition to drilling on fundamentals in the same amount of time which previously had been used for drilling alone. This presents a substantial problem to which, I am sorry to say, I do not have the total solution. My concern is with being able to teach all of the mathematics desired in the time that is available. There is one device of instruction in the new materials that I believe has great potential in conveying mathematical ideas quickly and accurately. This device is the number line.

Much has been written concerning the training of secondary school mathematics teachers. Leaders in mathematics education have had many words to say about both the educational and mathematical training of prospective teachers. Usually the latter training is divided into pure mathematics and professional mathematics. The concern of this paper is the professional mathematics training of junior high school teachers. Of approximately fifty references that were examined in the preparation of this paper, there were only two that treated explicitly the content of a professionalized subject-matter course.1 The others made recommendation that such a course ought to be given or that it should be included in a professional-training program but did not give specific information. The question of what to include in a professionalized subject-matter course or how far to go with such a course is still an open question. In this paper an effort will be made to indicate with two or three topics how far to go in such a course. No attempt will be made to indicate what to include in a semester or full-year course.

This study aims to : (1) describe the learning activities of students in learning science especially in the study of physics on the subject matter of light and optical devices in students of class VIII Togomangura Satap Junior High School taught through the guided inquiry learning model; (2) describing the improvement of science learning outcomes in the study of the physical subject matter of light and optical devices in grade VIII students of Togomangura Satap Junior High School which are taught through guided inquiry learning models; (3) describe the increase in completeness of natural science learning, especially in the physics study of eighth grade students of Togomangura Satap Junior High School who are taught by applying the guided inquiry learning model. The subjects of this study were all eighth grade students of Togomangura Public Middle School with 18 students, consisting of 11 men and 7 women. The data collection technique was carried out by observation and student learning achievement test in the form of a description test. Data analysis techniques using descriptive  statistics. Based on the results of data analysis and discussion, it can be concluded that: (1) the learning activities of students by applying the guided inquiry learning model in each cycle tend to increase and improve in each unit of student activity. This is indicated by the acquisition of an average score of cycle I of 2,6 which belongs to the sufficient category and increased in cycle II to 3,8 which belongs to the good category; (2) science learning outcomes of students in class VIII Togomagura Satpap can be improved by applying the guided inquiry learning model to the subject matter of light and optical devices, where in cycle I is obtained an average value of 59,2 with a standard deviation of 22,9 and at cycle II obtained an average value of 65,6 with a standard deviation of 23,4; (3) completeness of science learning for students of class VIII Togomagura Satpap Junior High School taught through the use of guided inquiry learning models in each cycle tends to increase, where in cycle I the percentage of mastery learning outcomes is 27,8 % and in cycle II is 66,7 % .
