Lutfi Asy’ari . The Development of Group Investigation Instuctional Model  in Social Science to Improve  Students’ Social Sensitivity (A Research and Development in  Junior Hight School in Garut).This  research wich aims   to produce  an instructional  group investigation model for Social Science to improve Students’ Social Sensitivity. To achieve this goal, this  research was conducted  using  research and development (R &D) methods . The research subjects were the sosial science teachers and eighth grade students 12 Junior Hight Schools at 12 sub-districts in Garut Regency. The instruments used to gain data were questionary, observation, document, interview and attitude scale. Data were analized by using Pearsons Product Moment Correlation, Cronbach’s Alpha (α) , Kolmogorov Smirnov Test, Lavene test, t-test, Wilcoxon test, and Mann-Whitney test. The result of validity test indicated the the score gain of experimental group is higher than that of the control group in junior high schools that were categorized as excellent, good and averege. The findings led to the conclusion that Group investigation instructional Model was determined as model of effective development result to improve students social sensitivity. This result was supported by  some factors: (a) design model that gave a clear overview related to learning scenario, (b) the learning implementation on the basis of group dynamics, and (c) more priority on attitude based evaluation. Keywords: insructional, group investigation, studens’ social sensitivity

<p><em>The students’ skill in exploring creative ideas in writing is a problem that needs to be taken seriously. This happens because of the students’ lack of creative thinking in exploring some ideas in words. The purpose of this research was to examine the effects of experiential learning model on primary school students’ creative thinking skill. The method used quasi-experimental of non-equivalent control group design. The population of this research was a group of fourth grader students of Sekolah Dasar Labschool UPI (Labschool UPI Primary School) in total of 47 students and divided in to two separate classes, which were an experimental class and a control class. The results of this research revealed significant contrasts in post-test between an experimental class and a control class. The results concluded that the experiential learning model has significant effects on primary school students’ creative thinking skill. Therefore, the experiential learning model is one of the solutions for teacher to develop students’ creative thinking skill, especially in writing from the aspects of flexibility, fluency, originality and elaboration. Moreover, the outcome ideas were diverse, expressive and comprehensible.</em></p>

The purpose of this study was to describe the steps of implementing the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach in teaching geometry in elementary schools. This research uses collaborative action research between lecturers, students, and teachers in 2019 at one of the primary schools in Central Java. Data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and tests. The result of the research is that the implementation steps of the RME approach include: (a) Understanding contextual problems. (b) Describing contextual problems, (c) Solving contextual problems, (d) Comparing and discussing answers, and (e) Concluding. The implementation of the RME approach is proven to improve mathematics learning outcomes about geometry.
