The problems of pollution and the destruction of nature have been a part of us for a long time. No matter how much people are interested and trusted in all the threatening forecasts, no one can deny the tremendous changes that have taken place in our environment over the last century. Addressing these problems is one of the major tasks of future generations. The study aims to track the impact of hiking as a possible sport at UNWE on students' attitudes toward nature protection. The study involved 229 students enrolled in various sports at the university, divided into two groups. The experimental group (161) - including students walking in the mountains and the control group (68) - including students attending other sports at UNWE. Both surveys were conducted at the beginning and end of the school year, using the "Questionnaire of the attitude towards the protection of nature". The results show that the students who participated in the hiking activities in the mountains increase statistically significantly the actions they take to protect nature. No such changes are observed in students from other sports. In terms of knowledge, there are no significant changes in both groups.

  This study aimed to identify the impact of technology utilization on the achievement of the tenth grade students in the field of national and civil education. The study sample consisted of (140) students from two main schools in the university's university. The control and experimental groups were selected randomly, And the study used the experimental method, where the first group was taught using technology as experimental, and the second group of the same material was taught in the traditional way as the control during the first semester of the school year 2018/2019, To achieve the objectives of the study, the achievement test was constructed. The results of the study showed that there were statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the control group and for the benefit of the experimental group. The results also showed no statistically significant differences due to sex. Therefore, the researcher recommends the need to generalize the experience of employing technology in schools and diversify in the use of teaching strategies, and emphasizes the need to train teachers in the design and use of educational software and modern techniques in the teaching method to achieve the maximum amount of learning and effective education.

In this chapter the impact of using a leaning management system (LMS) to manage homework assignments on students' achievement in a letter writing course was investigated. Additionally, the relationship between students' attitudes toward the online system and their motivated strategies for learning was investigated. Two groups of students participated in the course. The experimental group used the LMS as the homework assistance to submit their homework for one semester. The control group did and delivered their homework using paper-and-pencil approach. The result of the data analysis revealed that the experimental group outperformed the control group in the writing post-test. Further, the students were found to have positive attitudes toward using technology to manage their homework and this attitude was found to be related to their motivated strategies for learning. The motivated strategies were found to be related to achievement in writing, while attitudes towards the system were not.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the contribution of the eportfolio to the development of positive attitudes and beliefs of students towards school and learning, as well as to the acquisition of self-assessment skills by students. The method used is the experiment using an experimental and a control group and two pre and post measurements. The survey was carried out during the first trimester of the school year 2016-2017 and a sample of 40 pupils of the second grade of the elementary school in the city of Rhodes. The findings of the survey show that students of both groups after the end of the intervention have a more positive attitude towards school and learning, but the experimental group that utilized the eportfolio has even higher rates of positive responses. In addition, in relation to the contribution of the eportfolio to the development of self-assessment skills by students, the students of the e-portfolio experimental group evaluated their performance higher than their teacher's assessment.

Purpose: to determine the impact of cheerleading classes on the psychophysical condition of female students. Material and methods: to test the impact of cheerleading classes on the psychophysical condition of students, a pedagogical experiment lasting 9 months (September 2018 – May 2019) was organized. The study involved second-year students aged 15–17 of Kamyanka Vocational College of Food Technology and Entrepreneurship, DSTU. The students were divided into two groups: EG – experimental group (n=22) and CG – control group (n=30). The control group was engaged in the generally accepted program of physical culture, and the experimental group was engaged in cheerleading in physical education classes. Classes were held twice a week. At the beginning of the pedagogical experiment (September) and after its completion (May), we tested female students on indicators of psychophysical condition. The following meds were used: theoretical; empirical; psychodiagnostic; pedagogical testing; pedagogical experiment; methods of mathematical statistics. Results: as a result of the use of cheerleading in physical education classes during the school year, there was a significant statistically significant (p<0,05–0,01) increase in the results of pedagogical tests on physical fitness in students of the experimental group. The indicators of the girls of the control group had a positive dynamics, but did not reach statistically significant differences (p>0,05), except for the indicators in the test "Flexion and extension of the arms in a supine position" (p<0,05). It was determined that in the EG of girls at the end of the experiment there was a significant improvement in the studied mental states of EG students (p<0,05) compared with CG students (p>0,05). Conclusions: the study suggests a high efficiency of the use of cheerleading in the system of physical education, which contributed to the improvement of the psychophysical condition of female students.

<p>Mathematics is important and applies to science, technology, society or the natural sciences. It is applied directly or indirectly. Most students find this to be a very stimulating, complex, and well-understood subject. Maths in high school is extremely important. The study was designed to investigate the impact of students' mathematical representation skills and their attitudes towards GeoGebra. This study was quasi-experimental and carried out on high school students. We have two groups belonging to the same standard class. The control group consisted of 22 students, while the experimental group consisted of 28 participants. The conventional approach was used to teach certain concepts of plane geometry to the students in the control group. On the other hand, the experimental group taught similar teachings using GeoGebra. The results show that students have more skills in mathematical representation using GeoGebra. The semi-empirical test also showed a significant change in students' attitudes between the pre-test and the post-test. Students are more active in mathematical representation skills in GeoGebra.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0967/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

No previous studies have employed sociocultural theory and the notion of collaborative dialogue to examine collaborative writing in Saudi Arabia, where students favor writing individually. Exploring this topic is significant because of the importance the Saudi education system places on learning English, especially at the university level. Therefore, this longitudinal classroom-based study tested how collaborative writing affected the development of university students learning English as a foreign language in Saudi Arabia. The 46 participants were evenly divided into a control group, who wrote essays individually, and an experimental group, who worked on essays in small groups. Both groups took a pre-test before the eight-week intervention and a post-test at the end. The experimental group also took an end-of-study questionnaire. Although both groups showed improvement, the experimental group improved significantly more on the post-test than the control group and expressed positive attitudes toward collaborative writing on the questionnaire. The study concludes with theoretical and pedagogical implications and recommendations for future research.
