Abstract: The study describes the process of visualisation of patterns generalization. Visual pattern is the pattern expressed in image form. The subject of this research is one male student of 7th grade of the Junior High Schools in Tuban who successfully generalizes the pattern correctly and used symbolic generalization. Data collect by pattern generalization tasks (PGT)and interviews. In the first stage, the students completed the task by think aloud and in the second stage the researchers conducted a task-based interview to understand the generalization process of the pattern undertaken by the chosen subject. The results show that the process of generalizing patterns on successful subjects generalizes the pattern correctly using the following steps; (1) Discovering of regularity, (2) confirming of regularity, (3) Generalizing the n-th image and (4) proving the truth of the formula.

Abstract: Background: The prewriting skills are important prior to writing which is the predominant task for the elementary school children. Intervention in prewriting skills help in acquiring legible handwriting. This study compared the improvement in pre writing skills between the kindergarten children and the mild Intellectual Disability through simplified teaching method done by the Educational Assistant/Teacher. The method of teaching which focused on improving prewriting skills was taught by the Occupational Therapist to the Assistant/Teacher. This comparison showed that there was significant difference in improvement of prewriting skills between Kindergarten children and mild Intellectual disability children. Aim:To compare the learning prewriting skills between the kindergarten and the mild Intellectual Disability children through simplified teaching method.........

Abstract: The System 2013 Curriculum requires students to take an active role in the learning process at school and learn independently. So that the need for a learning media that can help students in understanding the learning of chemistry. Chemistry is a natural science that is as a product and concept so that the learning can be done through practicum activities. Practical activities required by a tool as a guide in scientific work called a practical guidebook. The research design used is the Research and Development (R & D) model of ADDIE (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation). This research is only done in the early stages of the analysis practical guidebook. The results obtained are an early overview of an existing practicum guidebook for further development into an innovative chemistry guidebook product based on the 2013 curriculum.

Abstract: An attempt has been made in this paper to study the attitude towards the use of ICT in teaching distance education B.Ed., students. Normative survey method has been used in the present study. The random sampling technique has been used in the selection of the sample of as many as 900 (DDE) B.Ed., students studying in Annamalai University in Tamil Nadu, The scale for measuring the attitude towards the use of ICT in teaching and personal information from where used for collecting the data. The findings of the study show that majority of the distance education B.Ed., students show neutral level of attitude towards the use of ICT in teaching and the same trend has been seen in respect of the sub-samples, too.
