ABSTRACTThe present study investigates whether training preschool children in the active use of emotional state talk plays a significant role in bringing about greater understanding of emotion terms and improved emotion comprehension. Participants were 100 preschool children (M=52 months; SD=9·9; range: 35–70 months), randomly assigned to experimental or control conditions. They were pre- and post-tested to assess their language comprehension, metacognitive language comprehension and emotion understanding. Analyses of pre-test data did not show any significant differences between experimental and control groups. During the intervention phase, the children were read stories enriched with emotional lexicon. After listening to the stories, children in the experimental group took part in conversational language games designed to stimulate use of the selected emotional terms. In contrast, the control group children did not take part in any special linguistic activities after the story readings. Analyses revealed that the experimental group outperformed the control group in the understanding of inner state language and in the comprehension of emotion.

Program Data

I conducted this study to investigate the effects of project-based education on children's categorization skills. I used an experimental design with the pre and posttest control group. Participants were 47 6-year-old children who attended a public preschool. Children in the experimental group completed a "Food Project", which continued for 12 weeks. The children in the control group undertook the regular preschool program. Data about the children's categorization skills were obtained by using the Categorization Test. While there was no significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the pretest, a significant difference was found in the posttest in favor of the experimental group.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of a preventive-educational programme in a group of preschool children. The study's population group comprised 58 four-year-old children, with a mean age of 4.17±0.27. Plaque index and gingival index were determined, and a dental examination was performed. The children were randomly assigned to one of two groups: experimental and control. The experimental group received the educational component of the programme which was for children, parents and teachers. The preventive programme was applied to both groups and included topical application of 1.23% acidulated fluoride phosphate, pH 3.5, every 6 months. Outcomes were measured on day 8 and after 6 and 12 months under similar conditions to those at baseline. Results showed a significant decrease in gingival index and plaque index values and no significant increase in decay in the experimental group. The control group showed a significant increase in gingival index, plaque index, and decayed surfaces.

This study aims to explore the effect of music education on the acquisition of social values by preschool children. In this study, a quasi-experimental pattern model with the pretest–posttest control group is employed. The Preschool Social Values Scale is used for collecting the data. The participants of this study are 26 preschool children (the experimental and control groups contain 13 children each). Whilst the experimental group underwent 30 minutes of music training twice a week for 10 weeks, the control group pursued their preschool education. Music education with the experimental group consists of activities, where students are active and experience music. Songs containing social values were taught to children in the unity of play music and movement. At the end of the study, the scores related to the social values of the experimental group improved as compared to that of the control group. No meaningful difference was detected between the posttest and follow-up test social values’ scores.          Keywords: Music education, social values, preschool education, value education.

This study was aimed at finding out The Effect of Applying POSSE (Predict-Organize-Search-Summarize-Evaluate) Strategy on the Students’ Reading Comprehension. This study used the experimental design. The population of this study was the students of SMA Negeri 2 Medan. There were sixty students taken as the sample of the research. This study was conducted with two randomized groups namely experimental and control group. The experimental group was taught by applying POSSE strategy while control group was taught without applying POSSE strategy. The instrument of collecting the data was multiple choice test which consists of 40 items. To obtain the reliability of the test, the researcher used Kuder-Richardson (KR-21). The calculation shows the reliability was 0.81(high). The data were analyzed by using t-test. The calculation shows that t-observed (4.76) is higher than t-table (2.00) at the level of significance (α) 0.05 with the degree of freedom (df) 58. Therefore, the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected and alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. It means that there was a significant effect of applying POSSE strategy on the students’ reading comprehension. Keywords: POSSE Strategy, Reading Comprehension.
