In the preceding number of the, Mathematics Teacher attention was called to one of the several series of small handbooks for teachers and students now being published in Germany. The two books mentioned above are from another and no less important series published by the well-known firm of Teubner, in Leipzig. This series consists of supplementary teaching material issued by Dr. Lietzmann of the Oberrealschule at Göttingen, one of the most active of the German contributors to the success of the International Commission on the Teaching of Mathematics, and the author of various important reports and works on the improvement of secondary mathematics in his country.

This research aimed to describe the development of public relations and protocol office administration teaching material based on the 2013 curriculum in Vocational School (thereafter called SMK). This study was a Research & Development (R & D) using Borg & Gall’s model. This research involved Public Vocational School with Office Administration Specialty in Ex-Surakarta Residency area. Technique of collecting data used was interview with informants related to Office Administration teaching material. Meanwhile for the trial, technique of collecting data used was questionnaire survey distributed to teachers and students. The effectiveness of data collection was tested using test. Technique of analyzing data used was mix method, the combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. The result of analysis using 2-way anava obtained Fstatistic­ value of 0.829 in Vocational School with probability (sig.) value of 0.438.  F test results are seen in the anova table in the sig column. Experiment group had an improvement of learning outcome better than the control one with the mean increase of 4.5 while control group had mean score of 2.3. Thus, it could be concluded that public relations and protocol teaching material based on the 2013 curriculum was feasible to use in Vocational School (SMK).

The research aims to develop teacher and student handbooks for realistic mathematics lessons for elementary schools. The development of this handbook is based on the reality in the field where the handbook of teachers and students especially the subjects using the 2013 curriculum still do not exist, and in daily learning activities teachers and students still use books that use themes. This research uses development research (Developmental Research). The subjects of this study were grade V students of SD Negeri 163085, H.A Bilal Tebingtinggi City and SD Negeri 106162, Medan Estate District, Deliserdang Regency. In the initial stage, observations were made during the learning process at the two schools and continued with interviews with students and teachers. From the results of these observations and interviews a primary school realistic mathematics teacher and student handbook was prepared. Furthermore, the realistic elementary school mathematics teacher and student handbook is validated by a team that aims to see and assess the quality of the realistic elementary school teacher and student mathematics handbook in order to arrange an effective handbook that will be used by teachers and students in learning. The validation results show that realistic mathematics teacher and student handbooks are developed in both categories and can be used in teaching and learning. The media book test was conducted on grade V students of SD Negeri 163085 Tebingtinggi city and SD Negeri 106162 Medan Estate Deliserdang Regency. The trial results show that the elementary school teacher and student mathematics handbook is effective and can help facilitate understanding of mathematical concepts at the elementary school level. This can be seen from the number of students who can reach the KKM from the two schools is increasing. For SD Negeri 163085 HA Bilal, Tebingtinggi City, if at the time of the pre-test only 1 student (3%) was able to reach the KKM, then after being given the learning process using a teacher and student handbook developed the number of students who could reach the KKM increased to 24 students (82.7%) while those under the KKM were only (17.3%) or 5 students. The same thing was seen in SD Negeri 106162, Medanestate Subdistrict, Deliserdang Regency. If at the time of the Pre-test only 2 students (6.6%) had scored above the KKM, after the post-test there was an increase in students who achieved the KKM score of 25 students (83.3%). An increase of 76.7% when compared to the pre test. Keywords: Handbook, teacher, student, PMR

The International Commission on the Teaching of Mathematics, which is one of the Commissions set up by the International Mathematical Union, has been conducting an enquiry into the teaching of mathematics between the ages of 16 and 21. A full report has already been published on this aspect of teaching so far as Germany is concerned and a questionnaire was sent to all countries participating in the work of the commission. The British National Committee for Mathematics appointed Dr. E. A. Maxwell to represent Britain on the International Commission and a sub-committee consisting of Dr. Maxwell, Miss M. L. Cartwright, A. P. Rollett and G. L. Parsons to prepare the answers to the questionnaire. This sub-committee also received a good deal of help from the Department of Education of Cambridge University in connection with questions relating to the general system of education. The sub-committee confined their replies for the most part to work done in schools. With the replies were sent various relevant pamphlets published by the Ministry of Education, specimen timetables from various types of schools, a large number of examination papers and syllabuses and reports of the Mathematical Association. The questionnaire was framed for dealing with state systems of education similar to that in Germany and covered the whole educational system. We give only those parts of it relating to the technical aspects of the enquiry.

Recent issues of The Mathematics Teacher have given considerable attention to standardized tests and their influence on the teaching of mathematics. The authors, Dr. Minnick and Dr. Rogers, while they are convinced of the value of such tests, recognize their limitations, up to this time, in that they test the more routine kinds of work. They, with other investigators, have been trying to develop tests that will gage the fundamental qualities that underlie successful accomplishment in the subjects in question.
