An Analysis of Teachers’ Pedagogical Content Knowledge on Number Sense Learni...AJHSSR Journal
This article is about an analysis of teachers’ Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) during
teaching the concept of number for early childhood. Research subjects were three kindergarten teachers in
Depok area, West Java, Indonesia. This type of research is qualitative that analyzed the phenomenon of PCK
when teaching the concept of numbers to children aged 5-6 years. Researchers conducted two observations,
interviews and documentation studies. The results showed that the three respondents did not understand the
concept of numbers as a whole. Respondents also did not comprehend the definition of the concept of numbers
and the appropriate stages associated with the concept of numbers. In addition, the three teachers did not
understand the overall curriculum of early childhood education. However, with their sufficient teaching
experience, they were considered to have good teaching skills and good evaluation of learning process. The
obstacle faced by them was quite the same in which they still found it difficult to teach the concept of numbers
with different characteristics of children. It required a particular strategy for the teachers to overcome these
obstacles. The results of this study is expected to be a consideration to hold a professional workshop
development program in order to improve the professionalism of early childhood teachers particularly in
teaching mathematics.
The research aims at describing the implementation of participation rights in early childhood education through educative game tools (Alat Permainan Edukatif: APE) and finding out the problems encountered by the teachers in implementing participation rights through APE. The research type is qualitative research. The subjects of the research were four teachers of early childhood education in Semarang Municipality including play group and kindergarten school which were selected by using purposive sampling. The data were collected by field observation and depth-interview and analyzed in the form of a descriptive qualitative analysis. The results show that some APEs implemented in early childhood education were potentially able to enhance participation rights, but the teachers were not aware on this aspect. They tended to focus on the academic outputs and on fulfilling joyful learning. The main factor was the teachers’ knowledge on the importance of APE for comprehending the participation rights of the child in learning process, including the limited number of APEs created and the flexibility of the APEs available. As participation rights are essential in learner-centered approach, APE as an educational game tool should be created and manipulated to accommodate the rights, including protection and provision rights.

Enhancing Pupils’ Knowledge of Mathematical Concepts through Game and Poemiosrjce
The study investigated the effects of game and poem enhanced instruction on pupils’ knowledge of
mathematics concepts in mathematics (Fractions and decimals, Volume of, cylinder; triangular prisms and
sphere; Capacity and Weight). A total of 344 pupils from twelve (12) public primary schools of Ogbia and
Yenagoa Local Government Areas of Bayelsa State, Nigeria were involved in the study. A pretest-posttest
control group quasi-experimental design was adopted in the research. The moderating effects of gender were
also examined on the independent and dependent variables. Using ANCOVA statistics, the results revealed that
pupils exposed to game and poem enhanced instruction have better mean score in knowledge of mathematics
concepts than the control groups. Poem was found to be more effective in improving pupils’ knowledge of
mathematics concepts than game and a non-significant gender difference existed in the mean scores in
knowledge of mathematics concepts. There was no significant interaction effect of gender on pupils’ knowledge
of mathematics concepts. The implication of the findings was discussed and appropriate recommendations were
made.

Studying Learning Expeditions in Crossactionspaces with Digital Didactical De...Isa Jahnke
As web-enabled mobile technologies become increasingly integrated into formal learning environments, they are merging to create a new kind of classroom: CrossActionSpaces (informal-in-formal spaces) in which communicative learning takes place across traditional boundaries. The term offers a view from social sciences, emphasizes a change of human action: from pure inter-action into cross-action. Under these new conditions the question are: how to conceptualize and design for learning, how can teaching helps learning? In this keynote, Isa Jahnke presents the framework of Digital Didactical Designs (DDD) which can be used to study and to reflect on educational practices toward deeper learning expeditions.

There are different instructional models that teachers adopted for the teaching of students different subjects. Among all those a student centered model is 5Es instructional model. This model concentrates on the engaging students, made exploration through students, explains and elaborate the learning concepts by students and then to evaluate students learning. All these 5Es provide ample space for students’ hands-on practices of the learning contents. This experimental study was conducted at primary level in the subject of General Sciences following pretest posttest equivalent group design. Two groups (control and experimental) were formed from 52 students of 5ht grade where both the groups were given same number students. The data were collected through the pretest and posttest and was analyzed through mean score, standard deviation and paired sample t test.The major findings of the study were that the overall academic achievements of experimental group taught with 5E instructional model enhanced significantly as compare to control group. The study also found significant increase indifferent aspects of cognitive domain of students’ learning; knowledge, application, comprehension and skill development abilities of experimental group taught with 5E instructional model.
Key words: 5Es instructional model, academic Achievements, Constructivist approach

The document discusses modern trends in curricular movements at the national and state level for teaching natural science in India. It describes the roles of the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) and State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) in advancing science education. NCERT was established in 1961 to assist central and state governments on school education matters. SCERTs were also formed in each state/territory with a similar mandate. Both organizations have contributed to reforms in science education curriculum through establishing frameworks like the National Curriculum Framework. They also conduct various teacher training programs and workshops.
Examining the effectiveness of some creative teaching techniques used at the ...Alexander Decker
This document summarizes a study that examined the effectiveness of creative teaching techniques used in an English language classroom at a university in Macedonia. The study found that using creative lessons, such as role playing interviews and debates, had positive effects on student motivation, participation, and learning. Previous research also supports the benefits of creative teaching, noting it can encourage original thinking, risk-taking, and establish a positive learning environment. The author concludes that creativity and motivation are important for improving language instruction and should be regularly applied.
The document discusses phenomenon-based learning and why it is needed in Pakistan's education system. Phenomenon-based learning uses real-world topics to spark students' natural curiosity and teach concepts across disciplines. It differs from Pakistan's current curriculum which focuses on rote memorization and testing. Implementing phenomenon-based learning in Pakistan would require training teachers, promoting its benefits to society, and making it mandatory in primary schools. Steps to introduce it include having students research topics to study for months and presenting their findings to peers. This approach could help develop students' skills for the future.
Quality Education Program in Basic Schools of Bakshi Ka Talab Block, District...ijtsrd
Every child has a potential to excel in his or her talent. If the children get attention, guidance and support right from their childhood, they can improve themselves, no matters from which social, educational or financial background they belong. This research project was to ensure children from the poorest families get quality education and reach their full of potential. In this project, a small team of teachers, in guidance of basic education department and few educationists, supported the teachers to provide quality education in schools, so that the achievement of the students can be improved in scheduled period of time. The main objective of the project was to establish an improved education system starting from the preschool to class 8 in basic schools of Bakshi Ka Talab, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. Shikha Verma "Quality Education Program in Basic Schools of Bakshi Ka Talab Block, District Lucknow" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-5 | Issue-5 , August 2021, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd46265.pdf Paper URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/humanities-and-the-arts/education/46265/quality-education-program-in-basic-schools-of-bakshi-ka-talab-block-district-lucknow/shikha-verma
The Project Approach is a teaching strategy that engages students in in-depth investigations of real-world topics. It is a three phase process where students first explore their prior knowledge on a topic, then investigate the topic further through questions and research, and finally present what they've learned. The approach aims to develop students' thinking, engagement, and creativity. When implemented well, it can highly motivate students and improve their learning, thinking skills, and ability to collaborate. However, teachers must be able to skillfully guide student inquiries through open-ended questions.

4. 2008 – 2011 Research Associate Eklavya, Bhopal
I rejoined Eklavya in 2008 as a part of Mathematics Research Team. This research team has taken up the
responsibility to propose educational reforms in the school math curriculum. I had conducted a rigorous
individual action research project in Hoshangabad. After the study I shifted to Bhopal to co-ordinate the
Math and Science Education activities for Eklavya.
Research – I have conducted a qualitative study (Action Research) on teaching-place value in middle school
grade 6. The research paper selected for poster presentation in Episteme-4 (Fourth international conference
to review research on Science, Technology and Mathematics Education)
Resource person – I had been giving inputs as academic resource person to various Government/private
agencies, working towards improving quality education in school throughout India such as training for
Regional Institute of Education (Bhopal), Rajya Shiksha Kendra and its Schools (Bhopal, Dewas,
Hoshangabad), Kendiya Vidyalay Sangathan Bhopal Region,
Academic Orientation and capacity building for ‘Room to Read’ and ‘World Vision’ etc in Bhopal, CARE
(Bhuj Gujarat, Madhubani Bihar), Eklavya - Pitara (Patna, Bihar) etc.
Science Kit Production – I am a part of development of a comprehensive science kit for middle school. We
had conceptualized the kit and gradually develop it a compact and handy kit box. I had facilitated designing
and procurement of the materials, developed training module for the teacher to use the kit.
2006 – 2007 Science/Math Teacher Sahyadri School, Pune
I had left Eklavya and went for teaching at Sahyadri, an international residential school run by Krishnamurti
Foundation of India (KFI).
I can broadly categorize my work as below.
Child-centric Process - I generally avoided demonstration of experiments. Children worked in groups.
Every child got a chance to take an active part in doing experiments and thinking in each group. This
group-based study facilitated peer learning in the classroom.
Activity based method - My main motive was to give children exposure to the scientific process and
the content was treated as a base to support this scientific enquiry. Below is a list of the scientific
temper & skills present in teaching methodology used in the classroom.
- Exploring the environment & local resources - Questioning
- Guided as well as random observation - Articulating (oral and written)
- Organizing data and finding conclusions - Experimental skill
- Positive attitude to criticism or questioning - Rigor
I have documented most of my classroom practices in detail. Some of these have been published in
educational journals in the form of articles, published in the education Journals.
Science/Math club activities – I anchored the science club and helped other science/math clubs such as
cosmos club, nature walk, math puzzle, etc. Many science models such as kaleidoscope, microscope,
telescope, periscope, chemical cell, etc were created during these activities with the children.
1998 – 2006 Research Associate Eklavya, Hoshangabad
I had worked in an action research project with Eklavya (an Institute of Educational Research/ Innovative
Action in Science Education) for 6-7 years. Eklavya is a well-known non-profit organization (NGO) that has
done pioneer work in the field of Education.
Hoshangabad Science Teaching Programme (HSTP) was most famous and appreciated program of Eklavya
that was run in collaboration with the state government of Madhya Pradesh in about 1000 schools. HSTP
developed a science curriculum based workbook along with various other components to improve science
teaching in middle schools. This curriculum was based on child-centered class room practice, learning by
doing, encouraging children to observe and ask questions and discover answers on their own. The
workbook content & pedagogy was evolved by a large number of resource persons associated with HSTP
over the period of 30 years.
5. My work experience at Eklavya and HSTP into following categories
Research and Material Development
1. Text Book Revision Process – I was involved in the development of material in textbooks (Eklavya’s
workbooks). I was responsible for preparation of tools and testing by direct teaching, silent
observation.
2. Developed field-tested module on science topics which is a collection of easy and do-able
experiments at home, based on scientific methods.
3. Desk review of textbook based on experiences in science education with Eklavya.
4. SAWALIRAM a fictitious character who respond to children’s curiosity via personalize letter. It was
a component of HSTP to provide direct help in the classroom teaching.
Role as a Teacher’s Capacity enhance – There were many teacher enrichment platforms in HSTP. I had
actively participated in Preparation, Conducting sessions and Documentation.
Role as a Resource Person – Eklavya works as resource agency as well. I had visited various educational
institutes to support their educational initiatives across India.
Publication – Member of editorial team of children’s magazine “UDAN”. Review and comment on
various academic articles for publication.
