This article is an initial, condensed report of a two year study on undergraduate teacher preparation in special education. It compares a new approach which is noncategorical and competency based and uses extended field activities with a more traditional method. Data were collected for experimental and control groups in the areas of attitudes, self concept, knowledge in special education, and teaching performance. Where significant differences emerged, they often favored the control group. Data judged more specific to the project goals were significantly higher for the experimental subjects. These data and student interest formed the basis for program modifications and a continuation of the new approach.

This research aims to find out the application of discovery learning models in increasing students' interest and learning outcomes in harmonic vibrational materials in MAN 4 Aceh Besar. The method in this study is quasi-experimentation with the design of a pretest-posttest control group. The instruments used are questionnaires and problems. The results showed that the average N-gain of student learning interest in the experimental class was 0.79 high category and control class 0.28 low category. The results of each experimental class indicator included a very positive category while the category control class was positive. Based on the results of the analysis of both classes, it can be concluded that the average interest in student learning in the experimental class is more increased than in the control class, especially on indicators of student engagement. The average N-gain result of student learning outcomes in the experimental class obtained a score of 0.61 moderate categories, then in the control class obtained a score of 0.35 medium category. Based on the test results, the average of the two classes obtained significance scores of 0.000 < 0.05, meaning that there was a difference in the average learning outcome of students in experimental classes and control classes. This proves that the discovery learning model's application can improve students' learning outcomes higher than the discovery learning model in the control class. This study concludes that the application of discovery learning models can increase students' interest and learning outcomes in harmonic vibrational materials in MAN 4 Aceh Besar

In the current era of technological development, the flow of information and knowledge is very quickly updated, so that facilities are needed to compensate, especially in the field of education. Conventional learning models can support interactions between teachers and students, but on the other hand, this model is less able to provide facilities in the form of access to information anytime and anywhere. These weaknesses can be overcome by online learning, so that a blended learning solution appears, which still considers the interaction of teachers and students and expands learning opportunities because it is not limited to time and place. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of blended learning based on kelas kita network sites in improving student achievement, activities, and learning attitudes. The subjects of this study were two classes of MA students (experimental class of 33 students and control class of 34 students) in Cirebon, Indonesia. The biological material chosen in this study was environmental change. The study design used a Pretest-Posttest control group. Data collection techniques employed observation, tests, and questionnaires. From the results of the study, it provides information that the experimental class applied blended learning model had significantly different achievements, activities, and learning attitudes (sig 0.05) compared to the control class. Students had an enthusiastic attitude because they were given the opportunity to explore their potential in studying literature based on kelas kita network. The implication of this research is that a blended learning model can be developed and applied to other materials, even in other subjects.

Group Discussion is a modern method of assessing students personality. The objectives of the study are (1) to find out the students’ writing ability through group discussion and without group discussion, (2) to know if there is any significant difference of the students’ writing ability between using group discussion and without group discussion technique. The type of this research was experimental research. The sample were selected two classes by using cluster random sampling. Each class consisted of 30 students as experimental group and control group. Data were collected by using test and treatment. The instrument of this research was written test. The mean of post-test in control group is 71.83 and the mean of post-test in experiment group is 74.00. Then the t-test score obtained is 5.565 with degree of freedom (df) is 58. From the result of significant t- value is higher than t-table (5.565 > 1.671), it can be concluded that Ho (negative hyphothesis) is rejected. It means that Ha (positive hyphothesis) can be accepted. The conclusion is that using group discussion to teach writing spoof text for the students has significant effect for the improvement of students’ ability in writing spoof text.

Ten volunteers were heat acclimatized to 48.9 degrees C (Ta), 20% rh for 7 days to complete a 100-min walk on a level treadmill (1.56 m x s-1). Subjects were then divided into experimental (n = 6) and control (n = 4) groups. Miliaria rubra (heat rash) was then induced on the experimental subjects by wrapping them for 3 days in polyethylene plastic. All six developed marked miliaria with involvement of 40-70% of the total body surface area. All subjects were reexposed to walking in the heat on the 7th day after unwrapping, by which time rash was clinically indetectable, and again 14 days after unwrapping. On the first test (day 7) only one of the rashed group, and on the second test (day 14) only two could complete the 100-min walk; the control group finished without difficulty on both days. Body heat storage for the rash group was 2.5 times that of the control group on day 7 and 1.5 as great on day 14; measurements of mean body temperature (Tb) on the rash group indicated a much greater heat stress when compared to their own prerash-acclimatized values or those of the control group. These data demonstrate the potential of "healed" miliaria in the etiology of clinical heat illness.

Adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV) is very imperative in achieving successful treatment outcome and decreased risk of HIV transmission to uninfected people. This is a randomized controlled trial study conducted in Adamawa State, Nigeria. 244 patients were randomized to intervention or control group. Data obtained from the study was analyzed using SPSS Version 21. Frequencies distributions, descriptive statistics were presented, Inferential statistics such as Pearson Chi square, McNemar’s test, Paired T test, correlation and repeated measures ANOVA were used to measure the strength of associations and relationships between the various variables and probability of statistically significant level set < 0.05 at 95% Confidence interval. The response rates in the intervention and control groups were 99% and 96.7% at 3 months; 97.5% and 92.6% at 6 months, respectively. Individual socio-demographic characteristics were not found to be associated with adherence levels in this study. At six months follow up the proportion of the respondents who had good adherence (>95%) was higher (89.1%) and statistically significant (p= 0.001) in the intervention group compared to control group (63.1%) and (p= 0.617). A significantly higher frequency in missed clinic appointments (7.98 vs 1.68) (p=0.024) was noticed in the control group, and a statistically significant increase in the proportion of participants who reported an increase in weight (p=0.001), CD4 cells counts (p=0.001) and decrease in the presence of tuberculosis and other opportunistic infections were observed among patients in the intervention group.
