Student Portfolios

Current educational philosophy places strong emphasis on student portfolios. Although some states require portfolios, many mathematics teachers are unsure about how to implement their use in classrooms. One way to develop a pool of items for potential inclusion in the mathematics portfolio is to have students keep a working portfolio in the form of a notebook.

Mathematics is one of the compulsory subjects in the junior high school education unit. The presentation of Mathematics learning is not supported by creative learning media that utilize the latest technology. The challenge of teachers facing the 4.0 revolution, namely junior high school teachers must be able to utilize technology in learning in addition to varying interactive learning models. The objectives of this training are (1) to introduce mathematics teachers to the use of Animated Chalkboard that can be used as learning media, (2) to improve the ability of Mathematics teachers to create Mathematics learning media using Animation Chalkboard, (3) to produce Mathematics learning media products Middle school uploaded via social media youtube. The training for Pekalongan City Middle School Mathematics teachers was held for three months. The methods used in this activity are (1) Socialization of the use of Animated Whiteboards as a medium of Mathematics learning, (2) assistance in making Mathematics learning media using Animated Whiteboards, (3) evaluation of instructional media products and training activities. The results obtained are an increase in the ability of teachers to create Mathematics learning media using Animation Chalkboards and increase learning media products uploaded to YouTube that can be utilized by Junior High School Mathematics teachers in learning. The product produced is Mathematics learning media that has been uploaded on YouTube social media.

Helping junior high school students to use calculators and computers for problem solving and investigating real-life situations is an objective of the junior high school mathematics curriculum in Ghana. Ironically, there is a technological drought in junior high school mathematics instruction in Ghana, with a suspicion that mathematics teachers’ competency in the use of calculators for teaching may be the source of this lack of use. This study sought to establish a correlation between junior high school mathematics teachers’ competence and the motivation supporting the use of calculators in teaching.  A descriptive survey comprising of a test and questionnaire was used to collect data from junior high school mathematics teachers in an educational district in Ghana. Teacher characteristics such as educational attainment, age, and gender in relation to teachers’ competency in the use of calculators were discussed in the study. The results showed that about 70% of the teachers exhibited a low level of calculator competence. Besides, novice teachers outperformed expert teachers in the calculator competency-based test. Additionally, mathematics teachers’ enthusiasm for using calculators in teaching was directly associated with the teachers’ level of competency. The findings may send a signal to stakeholders in their efforts to revising the Ghana JHS curriculum in order to actualize the curriculum desire for the integration of technology in the teaching and learning of JHS mathematics.

The Caledonia, Minnesota, mathematics teachers have devised an individualized mathematics program with the goal of enabling each student to work at his personal rate and at his personal level of achievement. It was hoped that students would cease competing with classmates and begin competing with themselves as they began assuming the responsibility for their own learning. An open-ended program would permit capable students to progress as far as their interest and ability would permit. Students who previously reached mere threshold understanding would gain additional time for better comprehension of the concepts involved by contracting for units of work.

What are mathematical recreations? What good are they? Where can they be found? How are they most effectively used? What research has been done on their use and effectiveness? These were the questions that an in-service seminar for mathematics teachers, under the direction of the writer, undertook to answer.

Pertama, pelatihan dan sosialisasi belum dapat memberikan pemahaman yang baik dan menyeluruh mengenai Kurikulum 2013. Kedua, guru kesulitan mengatur waktu pada perencanaan pembelajaran, merencanakan pembelajaran, merencanakan penilaian sikap, dan memilah pengetahuan dan keterampilan pada penyusunan instrumen penilaian. Ketiga, keterbatasan waktu dalam pelaksanaan pembelajaran, kesulitan berkaitan dengan perangkat pembelajaran, dan kesulitan mengaktifkan siswa. Keempat, sistem penilaian yang rumit dan perlu waktu yang lama untuk menyusun laporan. Kata Kunci: hambatan guru matematika SMP, implementasi kurikulum baru THE OBSTACLES OF JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL MATHEMATICS TEACHERS IN IMPLEMENTING THE NEW CURRICULUM Abstract: The study was to describe the obstacles of junior high school mathematics teachers in implementing the new curriculum, namely Curriculum 2013, in most of junior high schools in Indonesia. The study was a descriptive explorative research by means of qualitative approach. The data were gathered by means of interviews and focus group discussions. The data source was 10 junior high school mathematics teachers in the Province of Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia. The data were analyzed by looking for the themes and finding the relationship among the themes in order to gain the proper understanding. The results of the study showed that the obstacles that the teachers were as follows. First, the socialization and training programs had not been able to provide good and through understanding of the new curriculum. Second, the teachers had difficulties in arranging the time for the lesson plan, the teaching plan, the attitude assessment plan and the categorization between the knowledge and the skills in the composition of assessment instrument. Third, the implementation of the lesson plan had limited time in addition to the difficulties in designing the teaching kits and in activating the students. Forth, the assessment system was intricated and time consuming especially in the reporting process. Keywords: obstacles of junior high school mathematics teachers, implementing new curriculum
