One of the factors that influence Kadarzi's achievement is the knowledge and attitudes of the toddler's mother. This study aims to determine the effect of counseling using backsheet media on the knowledge and attitudes of toddlers' mothers about Kadarzi in the Cipeundeuy Health Center District of West Bandung Regency. The research design used was quasi-experimental with a pre-post test control group design model with a total sample of 28 people each for the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group was given an intervention in the form of counseling using flipchart media, while the control group was given an intervention in the form of counseling using leaflet media. The results obtained from the Wilcoxon test in the experimental group and the t-dependent test in the control group were changes in the increase in knowledge and attitude scores in the experimental group and the control group after intervention (p <0.005). The results of the Mann-Whitney test showed no significant difference between knowledge and attitude scores in the experimental group and the control group (p> 0.005). It is better to do further research related to Kadarzi's behavior so that the application of the Kadarzi indicator can be monitored so that it can describe the results of attitudinal changes, and to increase Kadarzi's knowledge and attitudes to toddler mothers.

The study was conducted on the use of Maple software to reduce student teachers’ errors in Differential Calculus at Evangelical Presbyterian College of Education, Volta Region - Ghana. The research design for the study was quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design. Convenience and simple random sampling techniques were employed to obtain a sample of 104 student teachers, which comprised 53 student teachers in the control group and 51 in the experimental group. Test items were the instruments used for data gathering. Descriptive, paired samples t-test and independent samples t-test were used in analyzing data. Descriptive content error analysis revealed that student teachers committed many conceptual, procedural and technical errors when solving tasks in the differential calculus. The results also indicated that there was a statistically significant difference between student teachers’ of the experimental group exposed to the use of Maple software in learning differential calculus to control groups exposed to traditional methods. Consequently, it was recommended that Maple assisted instruction be incorporated in the teaching and learning of differential calculus in the school; and also there is the need for the mathematics teachers in the school to employ blended teaching approaches, in which Maple software are used simultaneously to enhance teaching of mathematics concepts.

Dynamic assessment has been widely used in educational literature over the past two decades. The present study aimed at investigating the effect of using dynamic assessment on teaching the rhythm of English to Iranian EFL learners and scrutinizing their attitudes towards it. The participants of the study were 30 Iranian EFL leaners at the intermediate level of proficiency, who were conveniently selected from a foreign language institute in Isfahan, Iran. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, the participants were divided into two homogenous groups, including the experimental group and control group. In this quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest-control-group-design research study, the control group followed traditional method of learning pronunciation and rhythm, while dynamic assessment approach was used to teach the same materials to the experimental group. In contrast to the control group, the experimental group took an active role in the classroom by having more interaction and using the ongoing hints and prompts provided by the teacher. The result of the posttest unfolded that there was a significant difference between the performances of the two groups, and that the experimental group participants managed to outperform the control group members on the pronunciation posttest. Moreover, based on the attitude questionnaire, EFL learners had grown a positive attitude towards the use of dynamic assessment to learn rhythm. The results of this study demonstrated that through the implementation of DA, the proper form of mediation could be provided to the learners regarding their ZPD.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of using tape-recorded aural models for home practice on selected sight-reading and performance skills of sixth-grade clarinet students. The experimental design was a pretest-posttest control-group design with an additional posttest measure. It was predicted that students in the experimental group would do significantly better than students in the control group with regard to pitch reading, rhythm reading, tempo accuracy, and intonation accuracy as measured by the sight-reading and performance tests. It was also projected that students in the experimental group would complete more music exercises during the study than students in the control group. The statistical analysis indicated no significant difference between the experimental and control groups with regard to either the skills measured or the number of music exercises completed during the study. These results appear to indicate that tape-recorded aural models used in this study had no observed effect on the selected music skills.

Mastery Approach

Mathematics is a compulsory subject to all students. It is regarded as a career subject since anything students do after high school revolves around mathematics. Teachers of mathematics always strive to improve students’ performance in mathematics. They always make sure that they complete the syllabus to give students a chance to do better in mathematics. Despite the importance of mathematics, most students in many schools still fail mathematics Examinations. The performance over the years has been persistently very poor. The purpose of this study was to find out which of the strategies of learning mathematics improves students achievement in mathematics; individualization for Mastery approach (IMA) or completing the syllabus (CSA).This entailed the use of the two approaches in the learning of Vectors 11; a form three mathematics topic. This study investigated the relationship between the achievement of students where teachers of mathematics used Individualization for Mastery approach (IMA) and those ones where the teachers worked hard to complete the syllabus. The theoretical framework which guided this study was social constructivism theory. The study adopted a pre-test post-test non-equivalent group design. The target population for this study was all the form three students in 39 secondary schools in Mumias sub-county. Stratified random sampling was used to select schools that took part in the study. The strata were Boys’ schools, Girls’ schools and co-educational schools. From girls’ and co- education schools, the researcher randomly selected three schools from each out of 10 and 26 schools respectively, while from boys’ schools; two schools were selected using saturation sampling giving a total of eight (8) schools that participated in the study. One stream selected randomly from each sampled school took party in the study. Experimental group had a total of 126 students while the Control group had 130 students. The Control group used completing the syllabus approach (CSA) while the Experimental group used Individualization for Mastery (IMA) approach. Each group (CSA and IMA) comprised of four schools selected randomly from the eight schools. The students’ Achievement test was used to collect data. The instrument was developed basing on the objectives and given to the experts in Mathematics Education to validate. To determine the reliability of the instrument, Split half technique was employed since it involves only one testing session and it eliminates chance error. Data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Results indicate that there is a significant difference in achievement between students who used Individualization for Mastery (IMA) approach and those who used completing the syllabus (CSA) strategy in favor of the (IMA) group.
