Our study intended to evaluate material on math test in elementary school. This study involved 63 elementary school students in Jakarta. We used a fraction number and geometry test as a parameter to know how strongly the substance of the test items to testing the students ability in performing the math test. The different item functioning (DIF) aspect in Rasch Model was applied to identify the existence of the bias on measurement to the tests that have been performed. The results of this study prove that the quality of the tests is excellent. Unfortunately, the students consistency of answered the test are inadequate. Furthermore, there is 1 item exposed bias on gender. Female students are the group that have benefits and vice versa, male students are a group that is disadvantaged in working on item No. 17 in math test. Differences in ability between male and female students in working on each item on math test is also an interesting focus that we short discussed in this article. These findings suggest that the structure of questions addressed by teachers during math test is unsuitable with students’ abilities and disadvantages students because of poorly recognizable students capacities.

The evaluation of learning outcomes, especially class promotion tests, is high possibility vulnerable to biases that cause students ability to be described inappropriately. Our study proposes to investigate students abilities based on math test in elementary school. This study involved 31 elementary school students. We used Wright-Map on Rasch modelling as an objective way to measuring students actual abilities. Data were collected based on mathematical tests on basic arithmetic, fractional and geometry. Based on Wright-Map found 11 students who have above average mathematical ability. In contrast, 13 other students had below average math skills. Unfortunately, there are 7 students who cannot be measured mathematical ability because of Outfit exposed. The other facts, overall students have difficulties in fractional matter in comparative and scale problems, but students have no difficulty in operations to change fractions to form percent and decimal. The comparison of mathematical ability between male and female students is also an interesting issue that we reviewed in this article. By using Wright-Map the student’s actual ability can be drawn up accurately. It is very powerful for classroom teachers to learn student’s qualification in classroom promotion and/or student grade ratings in mathematics materials.

This research examined preservice teacher’s experiences of technology integration in social studies as a subjects in curriculum. We recognize school-based technology integration and implementation processes are influenced by a complex ecology of people. There are abundant ways social studies students can make social studies enjoyable and meaningful to students. As an interdisciplinary subject, social studies draws upon multiple curricular contents related to the social sciences. With increased innovation and technological developments, access becomes a concern. Campuses expecting technological fluency and seamless integration into the classroom must also admit that there are students with limited skills and exposure. This study will explore which students as preservice teachers are using technology and how technology is shaping their college experiences, also able to use technology creatively to facilitate their work, expand their instructional strategies, and improve social studies teaching. This study suggests that technology indeed offered social studies student a unique opportunity to enhance social studies instruction. Further, they can have incorporated technology into the social studies curricula in many and varied ways. Use of technology made it possible for them to conduct learning activities that both increased students’ interest in social studies and improved their problem solving ability and higher order thinking skills.
