Abstract  Solving mathematical word problems are not easy for elementary school students. Third-grade students of elementary schools cannot understand mathematical word problems perfectly. The appropriate learning method is needed to improve the students’ ability in understanding to solve the questions. Therefore, the objective of this study is to identify the role of the scheme learning method to improve students’ ability in solving mathematical word problems. Third-grade students of elementary school took the process of this research. The students were divided into two groups; experimental and control groups. This research would be carried out in three sessions.

Gender commonly correlates with condition of gender inequality experienced by women. However, we are unaware that men also experience gender inequality in their daily life that subsequently arises conflict within themselves known as gender role conflict. This study aimed to give description on conflict dynamics of gender role on husbands of pastors at the Batak Karo Protestant Church. Limited study on gender role conflict in men and negative effects resulted from this conflict encouraged the researcher to conduct this research. There were 3 participants involved, namely TA, SE, and BS. These three participants fulfilled the sample criteria: 1) Having been married for at least one year; 2) Having at least one daughter or son; 3) A native of Karo tribe; and 4) Having been a congregation at Batak Karo Protestant Church since childhood. The researcher used qualitative method with phenomenology approach, in which the interview results were analyzed using hermeneutic method. Hermeneutic method, or so-called interpretative phenomenology, is a method focusing on understanding the meaning of one's experience (by searching for themes), by involving a larger interpretive of available data and moving away from core search. The results showed that gender role conflict experienced by pastors’ husbands were caused by several factors, including gender role socialization since childhood, the influence of patriarchal culture embraced by the Karo tribe, masculine ideology and gender role transition that caused husbands to practice roles inconsistent with their gender role demand as a man. The writer encouraged more qualitative studies regarding this topic.Keywords: gender role, conflict, male

Abstract Health survey demonstrates that 5.3 million people each year experienced a premature death due to physical inactivity (Lee et al., 2012). Data from Department of Health (2004) revealed that in the United Kingdom more than 60% of adult males and 75% of adult females did not perform enough physical activity. Hence, to minimize this problem, currently, health practitioners are trying to encourage people to be more physically active, especially by promoting several types of exercise, including walking (Marshall et al., 2009; Hallal et al., 2012). Regular walking is one of the essential predictors for long-term physical and mental health benefit. Some recent studies mention that there are lots of advantages if adults can maintain their regular walking (Gunnell, Knuiman, Divitini, & Cormie, 2014; Morgan, Tobar, & Synder, 2010; Roe & Aspinall, 2011; Shiue, 2015; Nagai et al., 2011). Regular walking minimum 10,000 steps each day can burn as much as 400 calories so that it may help overweight or obesity people to reduce their weight (NHS, 2014). However, most of the people perceive walking as one form of transport rather than exercise; therefore, this reason discourages them to walk sufficiently for healthy life purpose (Darker et al., 2007).Keywords: walking, walking benefits, walking barriersÂ

 Abstract This paper presents an instrument, designed using scientific methods, to measure the subjective well-being of teachers in relation to their work and to variables from life experience. Participant teachers work at the basic educational level in private institutions created by the civil society that attend to the needs of the socio-economically vulnerable populations outside the state’s system. The Cronbach Alfa index and exploratory factor analysis were used to establish the reliability and validity of the instrument applied to 183 Mexican teachers in the pilot test. Conclusions pint out to possible uses of this validated instrument for the design of strategies that favor the integral well-being of the future generations of teachers and a substantial improvement in the quality of education. Keywords: subjective well-being, instrument, teacher, health, and satisfaction.
