Having felt for some years the increasing lack of co-ordination among the departmentalized units of the junior high school, the writer unexpectedly received an impetus toward active work on this problem as related to mathematics, during the progress of a graduate course in the “Teaching of Mathematics,” taken at the University of Southern California under Dr. Myrtie Collier. Through her encouragement and under her helpful supervision, some experimental investigations were started which it is hoped may have their small share in turning professional thought toward correlation of subjects in a definite and constructive manner.

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.”

It makes students unable to grasp the importance of social studies. This research conduct on students and teachers of the Junior High School Laboratory State University of Malang.

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.
