Each time that a mathematics project has been assigned here in the past few years, several students have indicated an interest in computers. Until recently none of the teachers had any training in the computer's use and the school library had no books pertaining to the subject. Last year, within four months after the arrival of a text describing the construction of several homemade computers, boys in an accelerated geometry class turned in three small computers for their term projects.

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.

The subject of the study is head master of the school, chairmen of MGMP, teacher supervisor. The study also uses qualitative analysis. The study shows that: 1) the improvement of the teacher competence at MTsN Banda Aceh has not been supported by realistic program, comprehensive and operational. 2). The implementation of improving the teacher competence is not supported through teacher needs-based program in order to be implemented systematically, well-planned, and sustainably, 3) There is still many internal and external obstacles in implementing the teacher competence through school headmaster supervision and the supervisors could not reach the expected target.

The objective of this research was to know the improvement of students’ ability in writing descriptive text by using picture series media. The subject of the research was students on class H at VII (seven) Junior High School 19 Bengkulu City, there were 23 students. The form of this research was a classroom action research. The data of this research were gathered from the descriptive writing test and analyzed by using descriptive analysis. The result showed that there are an improvement of students’ ability in writing descriptive text by using picture series media on class H at VII (seven) Junior High School 19 Bengkulu City. It can be seen from the writing result on cycle I that students’ average score 70 (enough) and increased with 76,04 (good) after repaired on cycle II, then increased again after repaired on cycle III with 86,17 (very good).

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe the policy and trends in rural education in China over the past 40 years; and also discuss a number of challenges that are faced by China’s rural school system. Design/methodology/approach The authors use secondary data on policies and trends over the past 40 years for preschool, primary/junior high school, and high school. Findings The trends over the past 40 years in all areas of rural schooling have been continually upward and strong. While only a low share of rural children attended preschool in the 1980s, by 2014 more than 90 percent of rural children were attending. The biggest achievement in compulsory education is that the rise in the number of primary students that finish grade 6 and matriculate to junior high school. There also was a steep rise of those going to and completing high school. While the successes in upscaling rural education are absolutely unprecedented, there are still challenges. Research limitations/implications This is descriptive analysis and there is not causal link established between policies and rural schooling outcomes. Practical implications The authors illustrate one of the most rapid rises of rural education in history and match the achievements up with the policy efforts of the government. The authors also explore policy priorities that will be needed in the coming years to raise the quality of schooling. Originality/value This is the first paper that documents both the policies and the empirical trends of the success that China has created in building rural education from preschool to high school during the first 40 years of reform (1978-2018). The paper also documents – drawing on the literature and the own research – the achievements and challenges that China still face in the coming years, including issues of gender, urbanization, early childhood education and health and nutrition of students.

For the past ten or more years I have used, at Grosse Pointe, Michigan, a method which I have found effective in improving the arithmetical solution of verbal problems by junior high school pupils. A regular-sized sheet of notebook paper is ruled into three columns by making a narrow column about one inch wide at the extreme right of the paper, and dividing the balance of the paper into two equal columns.

No change in educational administration or in educational policy in the last fifty years has offered so great an opportunity for improvement in high-school mathematics as the organization of the junior high school. But as we felicitate ourselves upon the possibilities we need to remember that many of the changes now taking place were advocated by leaders thirty years ago. There is a striking similarity between some recommendations of the National Committee on the Reorganization of Mathematics in Secondary Education published in 1923 and the Report of the Commission on Mathematics of the Committee of Fifteen in 1893. There were seers on that Commission headed by Simon Newcomb and we are just catching up with their vision. That educational administration has made this advance is due to the study and appreciation of the varying needs and abilities of pupils and the demands of a scientific age. That mathematics teachers in 1926 are accepting changes advocated thirty years ago is due in large part to the work of the International Commission on the Teaching of Mathematics and the work of the National Committee. Every teacher of secondary mathematics should own and read the Report of the National Committee, the best text that 1 know on the teaching of the subject; and every one should know of the significance of the work of the International Commission.

During the past decade, certain areas in the curricula of the common school have been relatively static while other areas have been modified, in some cases, to the extreme. In the first few grades of the elementary school one finds numerous changes that have taken place and are still taking place. Many of these changes are indeed significant, particularly in arithmetic. In the middle elementary grades one finds a diminishing of the number and importance of the changes as compared with those of the lower grades. Again in the junior high school much has been done to adapt materials to the needs of the age. In mathematics adjustments have been made particularly at this level. Yet in spite of the fact that the mathematics of the junior high school has been modified to meet the needs of general education, one finds the attacks continuing, especially those directed at tenth grade mathematics which has not been altered as much as the ninth grade program.

To make the concept of the formula for the area of the circle an old and accepted one in the minds of gangling, trying-not-to-be-schooled junior high youngsters of today is the goal of many an arithmetic teacher. How far short of his goal he falls is shown in the blank stares the high school teacher faces when he asks his algebra class or geometry class to state the formula.
