Experimental Group

Aim: To assess the extent of the students' learning of the circle unit when being taught through a strategy blending learning through discovery and learning attained electronically. Study Methodology: The study followed the quasi- experimental method, which is based upon the design of two groups: an experimental and an equivalent control group, with the application of the pre- and post-measurements to verify the validity of the hypotheses with the aim of reaching a comprehensive understanding of the extent of impact a teaching strategy based upon blending learning through discovery and learning attained electronically might have on the achievement of the students' learning of the circle unit. Study Population: They were the first-year secondary school students officially registered for the year 1432/33 H. at the Gunfuthah Governorate. Study Sample: Consisted of Ibn Majah first – year secondary school students at Guz center, Al-Gunfutha Governorate, for the school year 1432/33 H, and numbering (51) students in all: (24) were in the control group studying according to the traditional method; and (27) in the experimental group which had been taught following the teaching strategy of blending learning through discovery and learning electronically in their learning of the circle unit. Study Tools: 1. An achievement test measuring learning at Bloom's first two levels: Recall and Comprehension. 2. The statistical treatment was performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Used Statistical Techniques: t- test for comparing the mean scores of the achievements of the experimental group students (who learned the circle unit according to the investigated teaching strategy) and the control group students (who had been taught the circle unit traditionally); Cronbach alpha index for reliability; Levine test to ensure variance homogeneity; and holist agreement equation. Most Important Results: There were statistically significant differences at the level (0.001) between the experimental and control groups in behalf of the experimental students who learned the circle unit according to a teaching strategy based on blending learning earned through discovery and learning gained electronically in respect of (1) total achievement (2) achievement of the Recall Level and (3) achievement of the Comprehension Level. Important Recommendations: • Stressing the need to employ the teaching strategy of blending learning through discovery and learning through electronic devices when teaching the circle unit, in place of the conventional method of instruction. • Training mathematics teachers in designing computer software conducive to the implementation of the strategy of blending learning by discovery with learning gained electronically when teaching mathematics subject. • Working to restructure and reformulate the contents of present mathematics subject in line with modern instructional technology with the purpose of materializing mathematical concepts making them more stimulating and motivating for self-learning.

Specific Learning

Reading and writing skills influence the social status of students, exerting effects not only on learning, but also on wellbeing. This study aimed to assess the impact of diagnosis of specific learning disorder on well-being in secondary-school students, comparing students with a diagnosis of specific learning disorder (SLD-group), students showing learning difficulties without diagnosis (LD-group) and students without learning difficulties (control-group). Students were tested with neuropsychological screening tests in order to identify learning difficulties and were further assessed by means of psychological and school well-being questionnaires. The results show that LD group perceive themselves as having a low sense of mastery and autonomy, less interest and engagement in daily activities and low peer social support than their schoolmates. This result highlights, for the LD group, a low well-being experience, which is not observed in the SLD and control groups. On the contrary, SLD group students do not differ from control group students in any dimensions except for the perceived parents’ support and involvement in school life, in which the SLD group show the highest scores. This work underlines the importance of having a diagnosis as it seems to work as a protective factor for both the psychological and school well-being of the student.

The Impact

The purpose of this research was to study the impact of collaborative learning strategies on social maturity and its various dimensions viz. personal adequacy, interpersonal adequacy, and social adequacy, of secondary school students. The study was quasiexperimental and used matched pairs pre-test post-test research design. A Higher Secondary School in Educational Zone Hiranagar of District Kathua was chosen for the intervention. The study was conducted on sixty-six students of two sections of class 9th. Two sections were randomly assigned to collaborative and traditional learning conditions. Four methods of collaborative learning viz. Think-Pair-Share, Numbered Heads Together, Jigsaw, and Fish-Bowl were used for a period of over five weeks. The results were analyzed using mean, standard deviation and a critical ratio (CR). The results of the study showed that this approach was successful in increasing personal adequacy, interpersonal adequacy, social adequacy and overall social maturity of secondary school students.

The Impact

This study examined the impact of cognitive restructuring and token economy techniques on the reduction of truancy among secondary school students in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study adopted a pre-test, post-test, control group design with a multistage sampling technique as the sampling method. Judgmental sampling technique was used to select two from the six Education Districts in Lagos State, simple random sampling technique was adopted to select six schools; three schools from each of the two Education Districts and 170 truants out of the 216 randomly selected based on the class attendance register completed the study. Truancy Behaviour Questionnaire (TBQ) with a reliability index of .87 was the instrument for the study. Data were analysed and presented with descriptive and ANOVA statistics at .05 level of significance. Findings showed that the two techniques were effective for the reduction of truancy but the token economy technique had a better effect. Sex had no significant effect on the reduction of truancy but females play truants more than males. Based on the findings, the token economy therapy was recommended as an ideal technique for counselling and guiding students against truancy.

The Impact

Science education in Rwandan schools still faces a number of challenges including the lack or shortage of equipment available for science experiments. This paper describes research conducted to assess the impact of using improvised versus conventional laboratory equipment in experiments. Eighty-five lower secondary school students were assessed using a semi-experimental post-test design on thermal expansion of bodies. Data analysis using a t-test produced a t-Stat of 2.74 over a t-Critical of 1.98 indicating a statistical significance between the two experimental groups in favour of the group using improvised equipment. As a result, it is recommended that improvised equipment be used in those instances in which there is a lack or shortage of conventional equipment since students’ achievement was similar regardless of the type of equipment used.
