The Effect of Using Models Spot Capturing-Based Problem in Social Science Learning on Character Development Creative and Care of Elementary School Students
Abstract. This study aims to determine the impact of learning interventions using models spot capturing based problem (SCBP) in teaching social science to develop creative and caring character in elementary school students. The research carried out experimentally for four weeks with SCBP models by using two groups of experimental groups (n = 24) and controls (n = 23), the design of this study using an experimental design of quasi-experiments pretest posttest. The research instrument was obtained from observation sheet, questionnaire and n-gain test then analyzed using qualitative descriptive

1. Introduction
In the last decade, increased attention has been given to the character education program at school [1]. The National Education Association policy has stated the importance of building learning achievement and the character of every child [2]. Chu, Chow, Tse and Kuhlthau (2008) demonstrated how a collaborative teaching approach combined with PBL positively impacted improved performance, attention and improved behavior [3]. SCBP is a learning models of collaboration between spot capturing method and PBL which has interesting characteristics for students

Thus, their active involvement in learning will bring the values instilled through life experience and empathy towards the environment. Students need a section of education that connects them to communities outside the school boundaries to appreciate what is happening in society [14]. Develop a character that is the habit of mind, heart, and action that all three are intertwined [7]. SCBP enables students to develop creative and caring character effectively, starting from structured investigation activities as well as media and technology utilization so that students can facilitate their own learning
Lastly, he submits each assignment for review, prior to its submission date. To cope with these feelings of stereotype threat, Sam takes advantage of consortium learning, which allows him to take classes at other area institutions. By doing so, Sam is able to network with other likeminded students from a cultural
Upon beginning my first class at Walden University, it has been difficult to see myself getting through this 8-week course. Furthering my education has been something I have struggled to accomplish for the last 4 years. I almost decided to give up and continue being just a high school teacher. However, being a senior teacher that motivates my students to go above an beyond to reach their goal has pushed me to work hard and start a new journey. Though it is only the beginning of my journey, I can see graduation.
Problem-posing method allows communication among teachers and students. It also allows the students to discover, recognize relationships and express their creativity, leading to transformation. Freire first introduces
Graff and Birkenstein argue that ‘the influence {of technology on education} is neither disastrous…..nor wonderfully revolutionary.’ They argue that However, there are a number of ways of technology can be used for good on education. Enhanced teaching is a common way. There are concepts that are better taught through illustration than dry theory.
Through implement activities in this classroom, I observed that children have capacity to use materials in variety of ways to learn and explore base on their experiences and interests. Even though I have planned my activity and image how children might approach to the materials, I restrain instructions and let children express how they play and learn. I stay beside to observe and assist when children needed. It is treasure to see how children excited to learn and be creative. In the classroom, I’m sensitive to individual differences and abilities.
As you can perceive, unlike Campus, with smaller class sizes Haysville High gives each and every student an opportunity to have one on one time with their teachers. To put it differently, Campus High is overpopulated, and the school seemed “crammed.” For instance, there are countless classrooms at Campus that are so full; they do not even have enough desks for the students. Thus, Haysville High is diminutive enough to focus attention on every student, and makes all of us feel accepted. For all these reasons, Haysville High’s environment is more conducive to learning than Campus is.
Video Response 3 Addressing a student’s needs plays a vital part in the student’s academic success. Understanding one’s needs requires that a teacher take the steps to understanding the child’s personality traits, interests, abilities, disabilities, and so forth. Students are more likely to grasp the interest of learning a specific subject if they feel that the teacher is kind and understanding, just as Trisha and Brittany’s teachers is. Brittany’s mother mentions that a significant change is notable in Brittany’s self-esteem and grades (Kirk, Gallagher, & Coleman, 2015). Trisha certainly associates her good grades to her relationship with her science teacher and identifies her teacher as helpful (Kirk, Gallagher, & Coleman, 2015).
“The behavior of difficult-to-manage students can be improved through providing interesting lessons on topics of personal relevance that permit active involvement and lead to competencies students consider important” (Charles & Senter, 2005, p. 131). This statement summarizes perfectly the idea that when students are engaged and learning about topics that are meaningful to them, their world opens up and they begin to see a purpose in what they are doing. According to Trevor Muir, a teacher and author of The Epic Classroom, conflict can motivate students and develop a sense of curiosity (T. Muir, personal communication, February 20, 2018). When students are presented with a real world conflict, they become motivated to find a solution. Project-based
The activities allows children to obtain prosocial behavior, new subjects, and essential skills that could be used on a daily basis. The program
According to the Character Education Partnership, character education is a “national movement creating schools that foster ethical, responsible and caring young people by modeling and teaching good character through emphasis on universal values that we all share”. Some of the values that can be addressed in a character education program include respect, justice, and responsibility for self and others (Parker, Nelson, & Burns,
Schiro (2008) explains that learning takes place when students “have inculcated into them a way of viewing events in their environment through an intelligence oriented around a vision of a future good society” (Schiro, 2008, pg 180). Coupled with the knowledge component, learning is expressed when the students have placed the wants and needs of society as a whole, above what they might feel is fair. The evaluation component is analyzed when the knowledge and learning have been presented and the betterment of the community is
The diversity of student backgrounds, abilities and learning styles makes each person unique in the way he or she reacts to information. The intersection of diverse student backgrounds and active learning needs a comfortable, positive environment in which to take root. Dr. King continues by explaining, “Education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menace to society. The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals.” From back then to today’s society, kids are failing because they lack those morals that they need to succeed.
I will now promote children to be globally responsible citizens, creating the space for sustainability reflection, by children for children, engaging, connecting and educating children environmentally with the wider world, other than their school and home. PBPS – NBK centres on: Fostering children’s ability to comprehend
One of the two educational goals outlined in the Melbourne Declaration (2008) is that “All young Australians are to become... Active and informed citizens.” With this in mind, this unit of work is designed to foster student’s learning in the concept of introduced species. It will open students’ minds to some of the ideas and controversy surrounding introduced species today; what are some of the dangers, what went wrong in the past, how are we still feeling the effects now, how something in one country won’t necessarily work in another. The key outcome that this unit is based around is GE2-2 and it fits into the Stage Two curriculum under the content ‘The Earth’s Environment’.
Learning context will be widened, while maintaining a focus on the historical, social, geographic, economic and political changes that this subject area have been based on. Social studies refer to these actions as the study of interaction of the individual with their personal and social environment. Children learn about human achievements and about how to make sense of changes in society, of conflicts and of environmental issues. With greater understanding comes the opportunity and ability to influence events by exercising informed and responsible citizenship. As they participate in experiences and outcomes .
