The purpose of this study is to discuss the perceptions of teachers in teaching English to elementary school students and to explore possible contributions of TPR in facilitating TEYL. A mixture of methods, quantitative and qualitative, was implemented in this study. Data from this research were collected from questionnaires and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Questionnaires were distributed to 51 Elementary English teachers and FGD data were obtained from 4 teacher representatives from the group. The results showed that the majority of elementary English teachers have some degrees of familiarity with the TPR method, particularly its "practice." For some teachers in the study, however, this method was considered new. Specifically based on their practices in the class, the teachers' recalled the implementation of TPR and concurred on perceptions that TPR contributed to students in facilitating TEYL. Furthermore, this study also discovered specific strategies of implementation in teaching English in both lower and higher classes in elementary schools. 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z http://repository.president.ac.id/xmlui/handle/123456789/12151 THE IMPACT OF THE USE OF CONTEXTUAL TEACHING AND LEARNING METHOD ON STUDENT PARTICIPATION AND MATH LEARNING OUTCOMES IN GRADE 5 OF SDN MEKAR MUKTI 05 Musa, Aryneka Toga The basis of this research is the problem of the poor quality of teaching methods for teachers after the Covid-19 pandemic. Low student learning outcomes and lack of activity caused by the Covid- 19 outbreak. The aim of this thesis is to increase student engagement in class and learning outcomes through contextual learning strategies. Classroom Action Research (CAR) with the Kemmis & Taggart model is a research methodology that has been used. Grade V students at SDN 05 Mekar Mukti in the field of Mathematics have become the focus of this research (36 students). Researchers have collected data using assessments to measure student learning outcomes and rubrics to measure student engagement. The data has been explained descriptively. The results of student activity were 94% ofstudents in cycle 2 which were included in the category of very active and active students. As for student learning outcomes, 22% of students in the pre-cycle, 78% of students in cycle 1, and as many as 91% of students in cycle 2 achieve full results. According to these findings, the targeted goals of 90% of students who met their learning goals were exceeded. The research findings support the notion that contextual teaching and learning techniques can enhance student engagement and academic performance. According to this study, teachers should use contextual teaching and learning strategies to increase engagement levels and academic outcomes. 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z http://repository.president.ac.id/xmlui/handle/123456789/12150 ANALYZING ELEMENTARY STUDENTS’ WRITTEN MATHEMATICAL COMMUNICATION IN SOLVING MATHEMATICS PROBLEMS IN CUBES AND CUBOIDS Siallagan, Santa Lusia Written mathematical communication refers to expressing mathematical ideas through writing. This study aimed to analyze the written mathematical communication in solving mathematics problems and understand the characteristics of students’ error in answering each question performed by fifth grade students of SD N 05 Puspanegara. This research used a qualitative approach with a descriptive qualitative method. This research used the purposive sampling technique, which involved 23 students. The data were collected through a test that contained three questions representing the third indicator of written mathematical communication. The data were analyzed through Miles and Hubermann theory (data condensation, data display, and drawing and verifying conclusion). The findings of the data pointed out that the students’ written mathematical communication ability on cubes and cuboids in this study was not fulfilled to the fullest. The students’ written mathematical communication ability in solving problems in cubes and cuboids was categorized into three categories: 81% for the first indicator (low), 33% for the second indicator (low), and 64% for the third indicator (medium). There were two areas that stood out as errors that students made in each question. In the first and second questions, there was an error in calculating the answer and providing the formula. In the third question, a lack of understanding of the concept instructed in the question was cited as an error. Therefore, it is important for teachers to improve the written mathematical ability with the appropriate teaching methods and identify the characteristics of the students’ errors in answering questions so these terms can be used as evaluation for the next material. 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z
