In discussing modern trends in mathematics, Professor Reeve of Columbia University, has often mentioned the gradual “leveling down” in this field. That is, instead of introducing various phases of the subject at an earlier stage of the teaching process, it is deferred until later. Thus we are now able to find college algebra texts that should provide no challenge to a good high-school group.

High School or college algebra, in comparison with high school geometry, is commonly recognized as a loosely organized subject. In algebra, the usual emphasis is on generalization of the concepts and rules of arithmetic, and on the use of a more powerful symbolism to solve numerical problems, but not on the systematic, logical development of the subject from a set of postulates and undefined terms. Standard terminology distinguishes between informal geometry of the junior high school and demonstrative geometry of the senior high school, but in the field of algebra we generally have only such designations as elementary, intermediate, advanced, or college algebra. These various courses certainly differ in the complexity of topics considered, and in the later courses somewhat more attention is probably paid to such fundamental postulates as commutative and associative laws, and more proofs of specific thorems may be given. But it can hardly be said that under usual conditions the logical structure of the subject, as a whole, is significantly much more advanced in the later than in the earlier courses. Somehow, we do not hear of courses entitled “demonstrative algebra.”

This study was a case study which aimed to analyze the types of questions used by an English teacher, the purposes of questions asked by the teacher, and the strategy used to cope with non-responded questions. The subject of this study was an English teacher who taught seventh grade students at SMPN 1 Singaraja which is located in Singaraja, Buleleng regency, Bali, Indonesia. The data were collected through observation, interview, and video recording. The result of the analysis showed that from 241 questions, the teacher more frequently asked convergent, closed, and display questions rather than divergent, open, and referential questions. Procedural questions were also found. The teacher’s questions served several purposes such as to check students’ knowledge and understanding, to attract students’ activeness, to develop students’ interest and curiosity, and to stimulate students in stating information. It was also found that the teacher used seven strategies to cope with non-responded questions. This study suggested the teacher to balance the number of convergent, closed, and display with divergent, open, and referential questions to be used during teaching and learning process. In addition, the teacher should know more about the strategies for non-responded questions and the proper way to use those strategies to make the teaching and learning process runs smoothly.

There is no method of instruction which is a panacea for all of the ills in teaching college algebra. In any classroom there are four or more variables which enter into the effectiveness of the learning situation: (1) the physical environment, (2) the class, (3) the subject, and (4) the teacher. As any one of these conditions varies, the method must also be varied if the teaching is to be most effective.

The purpose of this study was to determine the application of self-regulated learning interventions to increase learning motivation and learning abilities in junior high school students who come from families with low socioeconomic levels. The intervention was given for five sessions through psychoeducation and assignments. The subject of this study is a male, 15 years old. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data analysis using triangulation techniques. The results of the analysis of observations, interviews, and assignment documents show that there are differences before and after the subject was given intervention. In general, self-regulated learning intervention has a positive impact on learning motivation and learning abilities of the subject. Several factors that support and inhibit intervention were explained. Some suggestions are given to develop the further intervention.

This study was conducted as an attempt to discover the effect of applying Demonstration Method on students’ achievement in speaking skill. It was an experimental research. The subject was students of Grade XII, Vocational High School (Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan: SMK), which consisted of 79 students. The research was divided into two groups: experimental and control groups. The instrument used to collect the data was speaking test. To obtain the reliability of the test, the writer applied Kuder Richardson 21 formula. The result of the reliability was 0.7, and it was found that the test was reliable. The data were analyzed by using t-test formula. The analysis showed that the scores of the students in the experimental group were significantly higher than the scores of the students in the control group at the level of significant m = 0.05 with the degree of freedom (df) 77, t-observed value 8.9 > t-table value 1.99. The findings indicate that using Demonstration Method significantly affected the students’ achievement in speaking skill. So, English teachers are suggested to use Demonstration Method in order to improve students’ achievement in speaking skill.

The study deals with the developing interactive media for senior high school students. The objective of this study is to find out how to develop interactive media for better speaking skill of senior high school students. The research was conducted by using Research and Development (R&D). The subject of this research was 2016/2017 students of the eleventh grade of Class XI IPA4 in SMAN 1 Batang Kuis. The number of the students was 30 students. The data of this study was collected by using need analysis questionnaire and experts’ judgment. Need analysis questionnaire was calculated by using percentage to get the information of students’ need before developing interactive media. Experts’ judgment was calculated by using likert data, mean and criteria interval of expert judgment to know the validity of interactive media which has been developed. After the data analyzed, it was found that the experts’ judgment result was 4.80 which had a very good criteria interval. The result of the research find that interactive media is a very good to be used in teaching speaking skill.
