<![CDATA[The research was conducted to apply an effective model of learning in improving motivation and learning outcomes of students by using problem solving-based scientific learning. The study is an experimental research with quasi design. The samples were taken from SD Kluwut 02 and SD Grinting 01. One class was taught using problem solving-based scientific learning model and the other class thaught using convensional model. The results of this research show that there was a significant increase in motivation and learning outcomes. It was obtained an increase the average learning motivation score by 4.86% and learning outcomes by 39.4%. Learning motivation had a positive and significant effect on learning outcomes with an influence of 24.55%. Students responded very well to learning theme 8 and sub theme 3 using problem solving- based scientific learning model.

<![CDATA[This research aimed to analyze the effectiveness of audio-visual media and serial images toward the improvement of the knowledge of sex education in early childhood. The research method used in this study was Mixed Method. Quantitative approach was used to obtain the effectiveness level of learning video media and serial images. The finding of this research expressed that the implementation of audio-visual media and serial images were still ineffective to be implemented through the learning activity. Those leaning media had the attractiveness, but students cannot optimally receive the message delivered. The effectiveness in this study was marked by the value of Sig. (2-tailed) 0.889 which was bigger than 0,05 (p > 0.05). The result of t-test independent sample testing concluded that the use of learning video and serial images was not effective to improve the knowledge of sex education in early childhood. It means that, there were no differences in the use of learning video and serial image toward the knowledge of early childhood sex education assigned in the value of t-count which was -0.140 with the probability Sig. (2-tailed) 0.889. Meanwhile, the qualitative approach was used to explain the ineffectiveness of learning video media and serial image.]]>

To measure the ability of self-help eating autistic students, used 15 performance indicators which include activities before eating, at mealtime, and after eating. The finding of indikator performance in this Baseline A1 phase which obtained the range of data 6- 4,9 , intervention B phase obtained the rage of data 14-11, and the range of data in baseline A2 phase was 11-9. The tendency of the direction from baseline A1 phase to the intervention phase was flat then increased, meanwhile the intervention phase to the baseline A2 was increased then decreased. However the result of the changing of the level in baseline A1 phase to the intervention +5, meanwhile the intervention phase to the baseline A2 -3.

<![CDATA[Mathematical communication ability are competencies that students must owned, but the reality shows that mathematical communication ability are still weak. One strategy that can be done to improve mathematical communication ability is a collaborative model with the TTW strategy. This study has purpose to determine the mathematical communication ability in terms of linguistic intelligence. This study applied a mixed method research with concurrent embedded design and a qualitative research as the primary method. The type of quantitative research used in this study was an experimental research with the Nonrandommized Control Group. The subjects in this study were Grade VII students of MTs Al Miftah Sindangjaya. The data analysis of Learning quality was assessed from the planning, implementation and evaluation stages. Based on data analysis, there were many variations of mathematical communication ability that found as a collaborative work of each group, such as (a) Students with high linguistic intelligence have reached all indicators of mathematical communication ability (b) Students with linguistic intelligence were able to master two indicators of mathematical communication ability well (c) Students with low linguistic intelligence were able to master one indicator of mathematical communication ability well. It can be concluded that TTW can provide good training of linguistic intelligence through collaborative learning. But, the students achievement on mathematical communication were varies tend to dependen their linguistic intelligence.]]>
