Story Problem for Low-Grade Primary Students: Discourse Analysis

Story problem is the type of math problems presented by the media of language and story. This study was done to identify the type of discourse structure of the story problem in mathematics textbooks for low-grade student in primary school. The focus of study is viewed from the number of components and the type of the integration of those components. There are three components in the story problems, namely introduction, events, and question component. Nine mathematics textbooks of 1th, 2nd, and 3rd were taken as sample with three books for each grade. The study result about the number of components composing story problems also shows that most of story problems for primary one, two, and three-grade consist of three components. The others are story problems with only two components by omitting the first component which is the introduction component. Viewed from the components integration type, result shows that story problems components that are combined for primary two and three are the introduction and events components or the events and question components. The integration between introduction component and events component is indicated by the conjunction “and”, “while/whereas”, and a comma. The integration between events and question component is indicated by the conjunction “if”. It will all produce complex sentences. The conclusion of this study is that, viewed from their discourse structure, most story problems for primary one and two students are relatively shorter than three, by omitting the setting and character element in introduction. It implies that there is no introduction part to introduce the context or narrative elements whose function is to connect the real world and mathematics

Evaluation of the application of the ACEP cycle to student writing learning outcome

The modification of the ACEP cycle is a pedagogical strategy consisting of four components: (A) Activities.  (C) Classroom discussion.  (E) Exercises. (P) Performance. The application of ACEP cycle modifications is used as a strategy to improve writing skills. This is the primary focus to consider in improving writing skills. The purpose of this study was to evaluate how effective the process of learning writing skills was by applying ACEP cycle modifications. This study used a mixed-methods approach. At the qualitative stage, an explanatory description design strategy is applied to collect comprehensive and in-depth information about the learning model applied by the teacher in the classroom. A pre- and post-test   control group design is used in the quantitative stage. The average score of students using the ACEP cycle modification was 82.64, higher than that of students who studied under the demonstration learning model which was 80.03. This finding is reinforced by the result of the significance coefficient = 0.006 < 0.05 so H0 is rejected. Thus, there is a difference in average student learning outcomes between the modification of the ACEP cycle and the demonstration learning model. ACEP cycle modification has practical implications for writing skills. First, it can easily identify the initial condition of students' writing skills. Second, ACEP cycle modification allows teachers to better understand how students build an understanding of writing concepts. Third, students can actively participate in the learning process and fourth, teachers can observe the construction stage and measure student progress more accurately
