Snowball throwing technique is an interesting strategy which enables students to think and to discuss an issue from different points of view by using the video. This study was done to reveal if (1) there was a significant difference in the eleventh graders’ speaking skill between those who were given intervention by using youtube video with a snowball throwing technique and those who were not, and (2) there was significant difference among good, average, and poor speaking categories among the sample. The participants of this study consisted of 106 eleventh graders of SMA Muhammadiyah 6 Palembang. By means of purposive sampling, 40 students were involved where 20 students of XI. Class IPA 1 was in control group and other 20 students of XI IPA 2 was in experimental group. This study used a quasi-experimental design with non-equivalent pretest and posttest design. To collect the data, speaking test was administered twice as the pretest and posttest for both groups. The result revealed that there was a significant difference in speaking skill between students taught by using youtube video with  snowball throwing technique and those who were not. Last, there was a significant difference among good, average, and poor speaking categories among the sample.

The quest for better strategies in teaching is a never-ending process. This scenario is heightened more by the myriad online instructional materials fit for classroom use. The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of video lecture materials for statistics proficiency of first year students of Davao Doctors College.The researchers employed quasi-experimental design that involved purposively chosen 31 students for the control group and 26 students for the experimental group. The control group received traditional instruction while the experimental group utilized video lecture materials as the instructional tool. The questionnaire consisted 50 multiple choice items and established a reliability index of .82. This investigation used t-test analysis to establish the same level of statistics proficiency among the students before the conduct of the study. The study concluded that both learning strategies were effective in teaching students the basic concepts of statistics as indicated by the significant improvement of their pre-test to posttest scores. Although the posttest results of the students who were taught using video lecture materials were higher than those supervised using lecture method, the significance of this difference was never established. Thus, the use of video learning material as an instructional tool in statistics is equally effective with the traditional lecture method. Keywords - Mathematics education, video lecture material, effectiveness, statisticsproficiency, quasi-experimental design, significant difference, t-test, Philippines

Speaking is an activity used by the people to communicate with others. According to Zhang (2009), speaking remains the most difficult skill to master for the majority of English learners, and they are still incompetent in communicating orally in English”. Many people are difficult to speak English. This research aims to find out the effectiveness of story completion effective toward students’ speaking skill. To solve the problem above, the writer would like to apply the story completion technique in teaching speaking from Kayi (2006). Quasi-experimental was applied as the method of the research. The research was conducted in SMA N Krangkeng with 66 participants; 34 students from X MIPA 1 as the control group and 32 students from X MIPA 2 as the experimental group. To collect the data, a speaking test was given to the participants. Based on the statistical analysis the technique of story completion was successfully improved the students’ speaking ability.

WHO (2000), recommends umbilical cord care based on aseptic and dry principles and no longer recommended to use alcohol but with open care. The umbilical cord should also not be tightly closed with anything, because it will make it moist. In addition to slowing the release of the umbilical cord, it also poses a risk of infection. Even if you have to close. according to Taylor (2003, dalam Nopriyarti, 2013) cover or tie loosely at the top of the umbilical cord with sterile gauze. The research used quasi-experimental research. The design of this study used the Experimental Design- Equivalent Time Sample method, which is a quasi-experimental design by treating the experimental group (X1), namely taking a warm bath and the control group (X0), which was wiped with a wet towel, alternately with random determination (Suharsaputra, 2012). The mandatory output in this research is publishing international journals, while the additional output is publishing national journals it can be seen that the average length of umbilical cord detachment of infants who were bathed in warm water (experimental group) was 110.8 hours, while the average length of time to release the umbilical cord of infants who were wiped with a wet towel (control group) was 76.9 hours or 6.6 days. The average difference between the two groups is 24,72 hours. The results of the statistical test obtained a P-value (<0.001), meaning that at alpha 5% there was a significant difference in the average length of umbilical cord detachment between babies who were wiped with a wet towel, which was 2.01 days and babies who were bathed in warm water, which was 4,01 day. So that the treatment of babies who are wiped with a wet towel is more effective and the umbilical cord is removed faster than the care of babies who are bathed in warm water. There was a significant difference between the In umbilical cord care, there was a significant difference in the average length of umbilical cord detachment between babies who were wiped with a wet towel and babies who were bathed in warm water.

AbstractThis quasi-experimental study investigated the effect of teaching aesthetic skills to faculty members on development of their effective teaching performance through a two-group pretest-posttest design. The sample included 32 faculty members at a major Iranian university who were divided into the experimental (11 participants) and control groups (21 participants). The experimental group was taught to use aesthetic skills in the teaching and learning processes; however, no intervention was applied to the control group. To evaluate the effective teaching performance of the faculty members, a tailor-made questionnaire was used in two pretest and posttest stages, where randomly chosen students were asked to express their opinions about the faculty membersí performance. The sample size of the students was 1096 in the pretest stage and 935 in the posttest stage. Paired t-test results showed that there was no significant difference between the mean effective teaching scores of the faculty members in the control group in the pretest stage and in the posttest stage. However, the mean effective teaching scores of the faculty members in the experimental group were found to be significantly higher in the posttest. In addition, although there was no significant difference between the mean effective teaching scores of the two faculty groups in the pretest, faculty members in the experimental group outperformed their counterparts in the control group. Based on the findings, applying aesthetic skills by faculty members in the teaching and learning processes can pave the way for sustainable development of their effective teaching performance. Therefore, faculty members are recommended to acquire the required knowledge and skills to better use aesthetic skills in the teaching process.

Making connections between the representations of trigonometric functions and an interpretation of graphs of the functions are major challenges to many students. This study explores the effectiveness of the GeoGebra on grade 12 students’ success in making connections between the representations of trigonometric functions and the interpretation of graphs. A non-equivalent control-group pre-test post-test quasi-experimental design was used. The sample of the study consisted of sixty-one grade 12 students from two schools. The results showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the mean achievements of the experimental group and the control group on making connections between representations of trigonometric functions, and on analyses and interpretations of representations of trigonometric functions, in favour of the experimental group. This study extends the findings of previous studies on the effectiveness of dynamic mathematics software on students’ learning of representations and interpretation of graphs of trigonometric functions.            Keywords: GeoGebra, functions graphs, Trigonometric functions
