Depression in adolescence is a common and potentially life-threatening health problem. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of prevention strategies on decreasing the rate of depression in adolescents. A class addressing specific skills identified as having an impact on adolescent depression was taught to youth participating in the program. The non-equivalent control group design was used. The sample consisted of 7th- and 8th-grade students in either the Youth Leadership class or a computer class of a California middle school. The Childhood Depression Inventory was the instrument used. Nine control group subjects and 11 experimental group subjects completed both the pretest and the posttest. The analysis of the data revealed no statistically significant differences between the control and experimental groups. This study should be repeated with larger sample sizes and with greater attention to the timing of pretests and posttests.

Hal ini disebabkan minimnya penggunaan permainan konstruktif yang belum efektif, sehingga kualitas proses pembelajaran kurang optimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh permainan konstruktif terhadap perkembangan sosial anak. Jenis penelitian ini merupakan penelitian quasi eksperimen, dengan desain penelitian Non equivalent Control Group Design. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh anak kelompok B pada gugus VI Kecamatan Buleleng yang berjumlah 387 anak. Pengambilan sampel dengan teknik random sampling dan yang terpilih sekolah TK Negeri Pembina sebagai kelompok eksperimen serta TK Aisyiyah sebagai kelompok kontrol. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada kelompok eksperimen memperoleh rata-rata sebesar 32.23 sedangkan pada kelompok kontrol memperoleh sebesar 24.75. Data perkembangan sosial anak kelompok eksperimen dan kelompok kontrol berdistribusikan normal dan homogen. Kemudian data dianalisis menggunakan uji-t, maka diperoleh hasil t_hitungdari kelompok eksperimen dan kelompok kontrol memperoleh hasil sebesar 12,26 dengan taraf signifikan 5% dan derajat kebebasan dk =57 adalah 2.002, sehingga t_hitung lebih besar dari t_tabel maka H_0 ditolak dan H_1 diterima yang berarti terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan antara kelompok yang mendapatkan perlakuan permainan konstruktif dengan kelompok yang tidak mendapatkan perlakuan.Kata Kunci : perkembangan sosial, permainan konstruktif. Social development of children is very important to be developed in social relationships in the surrounding environment. But in fact, the social development of children is still low with an average of as 42,50%. This is due to the lack of use of contructive games that have not been effective.so, the quality of learning process is less than optimal. This study aims to determine the effect of constructive game on social development of children. This type of study is a quasi experimental research, with research design Non equivalent Control Group Design. The population in this study were all children of group B in cluster VI Buleleng sub-district which amounting to 387 children. Sampling by technique cluster sampling, and selected one is Negeri Pembina kindergarten school as experimental group and Aisyiyah kindergarten as a control group. The results showed that in the experimental group earn on average 32,23 while in the control group earn on average 24,75. The children's social development data of the experimental group and the control group are normal and homogeneous distributed. Then the data were analyzed using t-test, the result obtained t_hitung of the experimental group and the control group obtained the result of 12.26 with a significant level of 5% degree of freedom = 57 t_tabel of 2.002, so t_hitung bigger than t_tabel then H_0 rejected and H_1 accepted which means there is a significant influence between groups receiving constructive game treatment with non-treated groups.keyword : social development, constructive game.

The study developed constructivist approach experiments to determine its effectiveness in teaching physics concepts. The quasi-experiment following a non-equivalent control group design was used. Two sections of 2nd year BSIT students of Isabela State University-Cauayan Campus were involved. The study administered pre-test and post-test. The scores in the achievement test and standardized attitude inventory test were compared and the significance of their difference was determined using the t-test. The control group and the experimental group were equal in terms of cognitive level in Physics. However, the students exposed to the constructivist approach of laboratory teaching had significantly higher post-test scores and higher mean gain scores than the students exposed to the traditional approach after the study was conducted. The experimental group developed a more positive attitude towards Physics than the control group. Moreover, there was a significant difference between the post achievement scores and post attitude scores of the students exposed to constructivist approachbased experiments and traditional experiments. The Constructivist Approach Experiments are effective in enhancing students’ achievement and in developing a more positive attitude towards the subject than the traditional approach.   Keywords - Constructivist Approach, Constructivist Approach-Based Experiment; Traditional Experiment, Attitude Towards Physics

Methods of evaluating training courses in behaviour modification for staff working in mental handicap are briefly reviewed. Insufficient attention seems to have been paid to changes in staff behaviour following training. A widely used training package—the E.D.Y. Course—was investigated using a non-equivalent control group design. Four special school teachers were given E.D.Y. training and compared with four control teachers pretraining, post-training and at a fourteen month follow-up. Results indicated that experimental teachers changed their behaviour following training in the expected direction and maintained this change at follow-up. Control group teachers showed no behavioural change from occasion to occasion and scored significantly lower than the experimental group on the dependent variable on each occasion. The results are discussed in terms of the effectiveness of the package and the maintenance and generalization of skills.
