One type of cooperative learning methods is Think Pair Share (TPS). This study aimed at examining the contribution of the TPS method in increasing students' critical thinking in Islamic studies. Particularly, the study investigated the significances of the difference between learned students using TPS method and conventional method, and the effectiveness of TPS learning method. This study used an experimental group and a control group. It is a quasi-experiment with pre-test and post-tests non equivalent control group design. The population of this research are students who take courses in Islamic studies. Samples are taken randomly by taking two classes for an experimental class and a control class. The technique of collecting data was tests, while the technique of data analysis used the statistical technique of t-test (independent and paired samples) within the application of the SPSS release 24 program. The results of the study indicate that there is a significant difference (sig .000) between groups of students who are taught by the TPS Method and conventional Method. In addition, the TPS method has also proven to be effective for teaching Islamic studies which shows a significant difference (sig .000) between the pre-test and post-test.

Abstract This study was conducted to determine the effect of Cognitive Acceleration Programme on the critical thinking skills of 9th graders. The posttest only non-equivalent control group design was used. Two sections of class 9th were selected conveniently for experimentation. There were 80 participants (girls) in the experiment. There were 30 intervention lessons in the experimental classrooms. The posttest was designed based on Cornell Critical thinking test. Test was validated by experts from the Faculty of Education, Allama Iqbal Open University Islamabad. The data were analyzed by the SPSS. The independent sample t-statistics were applied for control and experimental groups separately. The t-value for the comparison of performance of experimental and control group in sub-skills of critical thinking i.e., inference, deduction, assumption, interpretation, and argumentation showed significant difference. The results showed that critical thinking skills can be developed significantly through cognitive acceleration programme. So, the thinking science activities were recommended to science educators to incorporate into the classroom to accelerate critical thinking of students.

The problem often experienced in learning computer for communication to achieve maximum learning outcomes is the accuracy in presenting the materials, so the method used matches the characteristics of the learning material. In this case, the selection of teaching methods must be adjusted to the current situation and condition to obtain innovative and effective method because the students’ ability is heterogeneous. This study aims to determine students’ learning outcomes using cooperative learning STAD, to determine students’ learning outcomes using expository, as well as to find out the difference students’ learning outcomes between cooperative learning STAD and expository methods. Therefore, this study was designed using quasy-experimental with pre-test and post-test non-equivalent control group design. The population was students of D3 Business Administration Program of Politeknik Negeri Malang consisting of two groups, control and experimental class as a sample. Quantitative statistical analysis was used as a tool in this study. Through t-test, it is found the results of obtained t-count is 3.803 and higher than t table = 1.99. It means that there was a significant difference between the learning outcome of the control and the experimental group on computer for communication subject.

Spiritual Counseling

The research aims to determine the effectiveness of theistic spiritual counseling services in order to increase student adversity intelligence. Research objectives that refer to the results of the study were obtained by knowing the effect of theistic spiritual counseling services compared to conventional counseling approaches. The influence of theistic spiritual counseling services is known by the difference in adversity intelligence in comparison with the provision of conventional counseling services.The study was conducted at the Sriwijaya Buddhist State University located at Jalan Edutown, Bumi Serpong Damai (BSD) City, Tangerang Regency, Banten Province. The study was conducted for 6 months, starting in July until December 2018 regarding the implementation of Odd Semester Academic Year 2017/2018. The research method used was a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group design by setting the study sample into two groups that were not carried out randomly, namely the experimental group that was provided with theistic spiritual counseling services; and the control group provided conventional counseling services.The research data were analyzed using the Variance Analysis (ANAVA) technique and continued with the Calculation Size Cohen's effect to see the significance of differences in adversity intelligence between theistic spiritual counseling services and conventional counseling services.The results showed that there was a significant difference between the intelligence scores of student adversities on theistic spiritual counseling services compared to conventional counseling services. The results of data analysis show the acquisition price of F arithmetic = 7.7240 which is a price greater than the price of F table = 3.9320 at the significance level * = 0.05. Student adversity intelligence on theistic spiritual counseling services (Ẋ = 148.3333 and s = 7.6873) is higher compared to conventional counseling services (Ẋ = 106.0000 and s = 7.6345).Based on the calculation of Cohen's Effect Size, the value of d = 1.8562 (97.1% percentage) was obtained for adversity intelligence. The calculation results show the magnitude of the influence of theistic spiritual counseling services with self disclosure techniques to increase adversity intelligence, which is in the high category

This study aimed to analyse the students’ reading ability and to analyse the effectiveness of Arabic game in improving reading ability among the students of Arabic Language Education Department FBS UNM. It employed quasi-experimental method with pre-test and post-test non-equivalent control group design. The results of SPSS analysis showed that the use of Arabic game media was not effective in learning Arabic reading skills. This was evidenced by he sig value (2 tailed) of both class A and B post-test were 0.50, the sig value. = 0.05. So H0 was accepted and there was no significant difference between post-test of both experiment and control class. But this finding proves that the reading ability of the control class students was very good. Whereas in the experimental class, Arabic Reading ability was not good before treatment yet after treatment, the difference in the value of the pre-test and post-test was very significant.

The significance of reading comprehension for learners’ English mastery makes English teachers need to help learners to activate their background knowledge related to texts being read and promote the use of reading techniques. In this study, researchers applied the genre-based directed reading thinking activities (G-BDRTA). Genres here are oriented to provide learners with various text types for reading activities. Consequently, this study was aimed at actuating learners’ reading comprehension through genre-based directed reading thinking activities (G-BDRTA) viewed from critical thinking skills. This study was classified as an experimental study using non-equivalent control group design. This study was conducted at SMAN 1 Lingsar. There were 62 learners involved in this study. The learners were divided into two groups and each group embraces 31 learners. One group becomes an experimental group which is subjected to the G-BDRTA strategy and the other group is subjected to the control group treated using student-team-learning (STL) strategy. To find out the data, researchers used a reading test and critical thinking test as research instruments. Then, the data were analyzed using Two-Way-ANOVA. Based on the data analysis, there is a significant effect of G-BDRTA strategy on students’ reading comprehension viewed from critical thinking skills.
