This paper presents an experimental research study in which the two researchers aim to promote learner autonomy in language learning by means of learner-produced learning materials. The study was conducted at the Department of English in the Faculty of Arts in Misurata, Libya during the academic term-spring 2018. The participants were 50 Libyan students who major in English and they were all enrolled in semester 2 and studied Grammar II course. The participants were required to produce their own learning material which was about a particular grammar item. Semi-structured interviews with the participants were undertaken to know about their reaction towards the experience of taking responsibility to create a learning material, what autonomous strategies they were able to develop while designing the learning materials, what type of learning materials they were able to produce. The findings of the current study revealed that learner autonomy can be fostered in EFL classes in Libya and that Libyan students can develop some autonomous learning strategies. It is concluded that learner-produced learning materials can be a successful and an effective tool to promote learner autonomy in EFL (English as a foreign language) classes.

The sheet metal bearing cages quality obtained through punching is influenced by a variety of factors related to the punching mechanism construction, to its adjustment onto the press and also to the technological parameters of the punching process itself. This paper refers to an experimental research study applied to a real industrial environment, which analyzes the sheet metal bearing cages obtained through punching. The paper informs about the main results which were obtained during researches regarding the influence of clearances between the active parts of the punching mechanism upon the dimensions of the punched bearing cages windows burrs. The study presents also some information about results interpretation and several related conclusions.

This article shows the alternative learning methodology to stimulate the holistic side of students’ minds to achieve the increment of the innovation skill, managing the creative competencies and level of stress. The present research study is pre-experimental research designed with prior and posterior measurement, longitudinal, explanatory, and co-relational, with the main objective to demonstrate the effect of the holistic innovation coefficient of the beneficiaries of the program “Impulsa Peru”. Program Results: It has been concluded that the experimental group is significant over the control group. Therefore, the holistic innovation methodology had an impact on the experimental group. Conclusions: Hypothesis 1 is fulfilled in which it is affirmed that the holistic innovation methodology has a positive impact on the level of coefficient of holistic innovation of the student mentors of the women recyclers of the program Impulsa Peru with a significance level of 0.05%.

One day a critical Visitor came by the elementary school where an experimental research study in teaching modern mathematics to disadvantaged first graders was being conducted in order to see how the children were doing. She selected a little boy who was a repeater and asked him what they were studying. He proudly stood up and without hesitation said, “Circul ar regions, rectangular regions, and triangular regions!” The little boy, with his big eyes sparkling in anticipation, anxiously awaited another question that never came. The critic smiled in speechless amazement and left the room.
