In answering the research problem is used Embedded Experimental Design. Design of this study is useful to develop a treatment, test the process of an intervention or follow-up of the experimental results. This design can be realized through the acquisition of qualitative data that is included in the experimental design. The results of this study is seen quantitatively from the results found that there are differences in levels of self-esteem when students before getting SFBT intervention and after getting SFBT intervention. By using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test, where the z value calculated is -2.207, where p is 0.027. In other words, SFBT intervention has therapeutic effects on the changes to enhance the self-esteem of students.

The aim of this study is to determine effects of the Project-Based (PBL) STEM (Science Technology, Engineering Mathematics) education on academic achievements and career interests of vocational high school students. Pretest-posttest design, one group of pre-trial model, was used in the study. The participants of the research consisted of 18 students in eleventh-grade at the furniture department of vocational high school. Quantitative data collection tools were used to gather the data for the study. “STEM Achievement Test” and “STEM Career Interest Scale” were applied to the students as pretest and posttest. The data obtained from the achievement test and carrier interest test were analyzed by using non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test with SPSS 16.0 software. It was found at the end of the study that, students improved significantly their academic achievement in the furniture design course and developed career interests in a positive direction.

This study aimed to determine the effects of mental disability on the development of motor skills. Research has been performed with the trial.Ataturk Work Education Center and Imam-Preacher School students were collected. 20 business education high school student with the research, with trained intelligence levels of the same age group of 20 high school students without disabilities as for the development of motor skills in 3 days 2 hours training per week for 12 weeks in both groups was built pre-test post-test results were compared. Pretest and posttest measurements, the subjects height, age, flexibility, jump, 50 m.speed, standing long jump, shuttle run were compared by measuring such variables.Groups and within them, as well as evaluating the results pre-test-posttest measurements were compared with each other. SPSS statistical package program was used for statistical analysis of research data 17.00. Analysis of data, arithmetic mean descriptive statistics, Two Way Anova For Mixed Measures Test and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test For Paired Samples statistical techniques were used. Characteristics of the physical development of the research training of 12 weeks in both groups were similar, but with differing levels of intelligence in the weight ratios of subjects (p =.01), shuttle run (p =.04) and the longest standing jump (p =.04) were significantly skills development. In addition, pre-test and post-test scores of the non-disabled subjects' height (p =.00), jumping (p =.00), speed (p =.00), flexibility (p =.02), skills development was also significant. ÖzetBu çalışmada zeka engelinin motor becerilerin gelişimi üzerine etkilerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.Araştırma deneme modelinde yapılmıştır. Araştırma verilerin Aydın Merkez Atatürk İş Eğitim Okulu ile Aydın Merkez İmam- Hatip Lisesi öğrencilerinde toplanmıştır. Araştırmada eğitilebilir zeka düzeyine sahip 20 iş eğitim okulu öğrencisi ile aynı yaş grubunda engelli olmayan 20 lise öğrencisine motor becerilerin gelişimine yönelik olarak 12 hafta boyunca haftada 3 gün 2 saat antrenman yaptırılmış her iki grubun ön test son test sonuçları karşılaştırılmıştır. Öntest ve sontest ölçümlerinde deneklerin boy, yaş, esneklik, sıçrama, 50 m.sürat, durarak uzun atlama, mekik koşusu gibi değişkenlerinin ölçümleri alınarak karşılaştırmayapılmıştır.Sonuçların değerlendirilmesinde gruplar hem kendi içlerindeki hem de birbiri ile ön-test- sontest ölçümleri bakımından karşılaştırılmıştır. Araştırma verilerinin istatistiksel analizinde SPSS 17.00 İstatistik Paket Programı kullanılmıştır.Verilerinanalizinde aritmetik ortalama, Karışık Ölçüler İçin İki Faktörlü Anova Testi, Wilcoxon İşaretli Sıralar Testi istatistik teknikleri kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda 12 hafta uygulanan antrenmanların etkisiyle fiziksel gelişim özellikleri benzer fakat zeka düzeyleri farklı iki grupta yer alan deneklerin kilo oranlarında (p=.01), mekik koşusu (p=.04) ve durarak uzunu atlama (p=.04) becerilerinde anlamlı düzeyde gelişme gözlenmiştir. Ayrıca engelli olmayan deneklerin öntest ve sontest puanlarının boy (p=.00), sıçrama (p=.00), sürat (p=.00), esneklik (p=.02) becerilerinde de anlamlı düzeyde gelişme görülmüştür.

The problem that occurs in the education world right now is the low learning outcomes and student creativity. Based on references, the roles playing method is an effective learning method for increasing student creativity and learning outcomes. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the roles playing method on creativity and student learning outcomes and to find out the effectiveness of the roles playing method on learning the immune system. This research is a quasi-experimental research with nonequivalent control group design. The population are all students of grade 11 in MIA MAN 2 Semarang 2018/2019 school year. The sample is determined by purposive sampling and 2 classes have selected as the experimental class and the control class. In this study the experimental class carried out immune system learning using the roles playing method while the control class used the lecture method. The results showed that 85.56% of the experimental class students has creativity with creative to very creative categories while the control class is only 41.67% of students included in the creative and very creative categories. Student learning outcomes data show that the classical learning completeness of the experimental class is higher than the control class with a difference of 36.12%. The average value of learning outcomes and the average N-Gain score of the experimental class students also have a higher average value of the control class. The implementation of learning the roles playing method gained a score of 95.56%. Based on the description it can be concluded that the role playing method is effective on the creativity and learning outcomes of high school students and it can be concluded that the role playing method is effectively applied to learning the immune system because the results of the study already meet all the indicators that have been set.

This study aimed to build self-confidence for high school students in Al-Mafraq Governorate in Jordan following the Item Response Theory (IRT). The scale included its initial version (50) items. To ensure the external validity of the scale, it was reviewed by several experts. According to the experts’ feedback, some items should be deleted or modified. The final version of the scale included (44) items. The scale was further applied to an experimental sample of (310) male and female students to verify psychometricians’ characteristics. Finally, the scale was administered to a sample of (1060) male and female high school students in Al-Mafraq Governorate. Data were collected, coded, and analyzed using statistical programs (SPSS and WINSTEPS). The most important results were the following: the self-confidence measure was one-dimensional, which means it measures only a single dimension. The results further revealed identical to the partial estimation model, and the index of average matching of individuals and the external and internal items approached zero, and the standard deviation approached the correct one. The estimated values of the distinct thresholds for the scale items showed a clear discriminatory ability and the emergence of particular threshold scores on the scale. After deleting the paragraphs that did not fit the study's model, the scale's final version included 39 items. The results also showed that the transfer values of logistical capacity units were within (-2.88 -2.77), within the IRT's accepted range.
