ABSTRACT The research aimed at discovering the description of mathematics learning in MTs and obtaining PBMSK (Problem-based learning of Cooperative Setting) model which was valid, practical, and effective to improve mathematical power and social skills of class VIII students at MTs. Negeri (Public MTs) Model Makassar. The study was a research and development which referred to Plomp’s (1997) model development. The data analysis was conducted quantitatively to answer whether the model developed had already met valid, practical and effective criteria. The products of the study consisted of: model book, teacher’s book, student’s book, lesson plan, student’s worksheet, and learning result test with the validity level extremely valid which had met valid criteria. The implementation of model was implemented entirely and had met practicality criteria. The effectiveness of model consisted of: learning completeness excellent, learning management excellent. Student’s responses on PBMSK model: (1) must of the student expressed delight and, interested, and (2) Must of the student’s said that student worksheet and text book easy to read, interesting, simple language, and the students’ activities were fairly high and still at the ideal time interval tolerance which had been determined. The results indicated that it had met effective criteria. Therefore, the objective to obtain qualified PBMSK model which fulfilled valid, practical, and effective criteria had been achieved.

ABSTRACT This study aimed at examining the implementation of Parenting Model to enhance children’s self-reliance/autonomy (PAO-MKA Model), for junior high school students. PAO-MKA Model is developed by Sunarty (2014) and has been tested both for its validity and practicality. It was found that the Model has a high degree of validity. The purpose of the study was to find out the effectiveness of PAO-MKA Model to improve children’s self-reliance. This study used quantitative approach with pre-experimental study. The model used one group of pretest and posttest design. The experiment was conducted at SMPN 8 Makassar. The research subject was divided into two groups, a group of parents and a group of children, consisted of 30 people respectively. The group of parents were used to examine how they implement the PAO-MKA Model. The group of children were required to measure the level of children’s self-reliance. The data were analyzed using t-test or mean difference test. The results of the study showed that there was a positive and significant difference on children’s self-reliance before and after the implementation of PAO-MKA Model and could be concluded that the PAO-MKA Model is effective to improve children’s self-reliance.

The main problem of this research is how the computer-based cognitive development in Reggio Emilia approach which is developed can enhance children;s the creative thinking in school . The research method used is a research and development. Data collection methods used questionnaire , interview , observation and documentation. The data collected was processed by descriptive qualitative with percentage techniques to examine the category level and specific dimensions of the aspects measured . the stages of development model were conducted at the level of the needs assessment , content validation , and operational or empirical validation of the model. The results of needs assessment on PKBK-REA model in general oriented on experience through the adoption of Microsoft paint program , Correl Draw, and Adop Photo is extremely needed in schools , especially for gifted education services. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a computer-based cognitive development model oriented oo the development of children's creative thinking abilities. The result of the analysis of limited test and the class test reveal that there are significant differences between a groups of children who apply the Reggio Emelia approach and a group of children who apply the conventional learning, where creativity in playing computer for the children who attend computer-based cognitive development model using Reggio Emelia approach is better than the ones who attend conventional learning . PKBK - REA models and devices that have been developed are effective and efficien in the development of kindergarten children's creativity

This study aimed at producing a valid and effective learning model of ICT based Islamic Education (PAI TIK Model) at a senior high school, SMAN 4 Kendari. The study used Research and Development Design proposed by Borg ad Gall with ICT based analysis approach. Based on needs assessment, theoretical review, and relevant studies, the initial model was developed. Expert validation technique is used to test the validity of the model. The experts stated the model is valid. Model was then tested on a limited basis. The first trial found that the model of PAI TIK was applicable but less effective since both the standard and students’ activities have not met the criteria. The model was revised and the second test was conducted. The second trial showed that the model was effective because the students’ accomplishment met the criteria and the expected students’ activities had been achieved. It was also found that teacher’s ability to manage learning and students’ response towards learning is in positive category. Therefore, an effective and valid PAI TIK Model is obtained.
