<p class="Abstract">Drawing – based modeling as learning approach, it allows students to create models based on drawing which help them to run a simulation. Students can use drawing–based modeling to learn a pair of interacting population known as predato–prey system while they usually conducted practicum using diagram of organisms. This study was to explore students’ argumentation and students’ understanding on the concept of the ecosystem. The study was conducted quasi – experimental using the matching – only post-test – only control group design. The participants consist of 60 grade 10 senior high school students in Subang, West Java. They are placed into two groups, 30 students in the experimental group and 30 students in the control group. Data was collected through argumentation test and selected response test for assessing students’ understanding. Students’ argumentation were analyzed using Toulmin’s argumentation pattern and statistical analysis. The result showed there is no significant difference between the experimental group and the control group for students’ argumentation. Most of the students are predominantly at level 2. But the coherency of arguments of the experimental group is more coherent than the control group. It means that the students in experimental group can make logical claim and supported by the correct and relevant grounds (data, warrant, and backing). The result of students’ understanding showed there is a significant mean score between the experimental group and the control group whether 72.33 for the experimental group and 62.13 for the control group</p>

Basically humans have had creative potential since he was created. With the potential of its natural creativity, it is expected that early on, children will need activities related to creative ideas through coaching so that children can develop their creative potential optimally. For that we need a learning method that can improve children's creativity, one of which is the experimental method. Through the experimental method children can be trained in developing creativity. The purpose of this study is to examine the achievement of children's creativity in using experimental methods. This study used a quasi-experimental method with Nonequevalent Control Group Design research design using two classes consisting of B1 experimental group and B2 control class at Al-Masruroh Kindergarten. Based on data processing and research results obtained the results of the pre-test showed that there were no significant differences between the experimental group and the control group (TK Al-Masruroh) with p-value> 0.05 which was 0.145> 0.05, while the post test results showed creativity after the application of the experimental method there is a significant difference with the value of pvalue <0.05 which is the result of 0.000 <0.05. Based on the results of this study, the researcher recommends to child educators that the experimental method can be used as one of the learning methods to improve children's creativity.

This study employed the Multiple-draft Method in the teaching of Continuous Writing in English<br />Language. The intent was to determine if there could be significant difference in the performance of a<br />group of students taught with the conventional method of Reading-Writing (a type of controlled writing)<br />and another group taught with Multi-drafts method of writing. The study employed the pre-test and<br />post-test controls and quasi-experimental research design. The sample consisted of 80 senior secondary<br />school students. The instrument which was used to gather data which was the West African<br />Examinations Council’s (WAEC) English Language Essay Questions. The data generated were<br />subjected to statistical analysis and the results of the analysis showed that at take-off the two groups<br />were homogenous. There was significant difference in the post-test scores of the experimental<br />outweighing the control group which came about as a result of treatment of the experimental group.<br />There was no significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of the students in the<br />control group. As evident from the out-come of the research, the Multiple- draft method (which allows<br />students to practice with many drafts before the final writing) had significant effect on students’<br />performance in Continuous Writing. Hence, the Multiple- draft Method was recommended for<br />Continuous Writing.
