Casino gambling has experienced dramatic growth in the USA during the past seven years. Because this growth has occurred recently, there have been few systematic studies of its effects. This paper uses quasi-experimental control group methods to study 68 counties where casinos were opened during the period 1989–93 and three multicasino counties. Results show that casino gambling is adopted by economically struggling counties and that it can be a successful development strategy. The effects trickle down to other sectors of the economy, including recipients of income maintenance payments. On the downside, local governments and local workers do not appear to reap the lion's share of benefits, as much of the income generated by casinos is dissipated through leakages outside the host county. Finally, some casino types and locations are marginally better than others, but currently these factors are not prominent determinants of casino effects.

We developed a 1-credit freshman-level course designed to enhance psychological critical thinking. We based the new curriculum on Stanovich's (2004) text, with an emphasis on active learning and critically evaluating claims by applying scientific concepts. To assess the effectiveness of this course, we used a pretest–posttest design with a quasi-experimental control group. At posttest, students in the psychological science course showed greater improvement on psychological critical thinking than students in a comparison group. Therefore, we recommend the techniques used in this instructional intervention to help college students improve their critical thinking skills.

This research is aimed to find out the effect of Two Picture Game Towards Students’ speaking Anxiety at SMAN 1 Jerowaru. The research was experimental research and the research design that was used quasi experimental, control and experimental group design. The population of the study was the IPS 1 and IPS 2 students of SMAN 1 Jerowaru which consisted of two classes. Two classes were chosen as the samples, those were IPS 1 as experimental class, and IPS 2 as control class. They were chosen by using sampling technique. Experimental class was treated by using two picture game, and control class was treated by slowly reveal. The data of the research were primarily gathered from post test and questionnaire, where the result of mean scores of an experimental class, was higher than the result of mean scores of control group. Then, in analyzing the data of the research the researcher used SPSS. Based on the analysis of the data above, it was found that t-test (to) score was 8.271 with the degree of freedom (df) = 20 and t-table (tt) was 000 at the significant level =0.05 It was showed that t-test is lower than t-table, in can be concluded that two picture game was not effective for students’ anxiety in speaking at SMAN 1 Jerowaru.

The AUD study at Al Hikmah Mujahidin Kindergarten and TK Kartika XIX-3 applied a descriptive and quantitative research approach using quasi-experimental techniques. The design carried out has the consideration that, if random grouping is carried out, it will disrupt learning and programs at school. The experimental design used is the non-equivalent control group design. The purpose of the research is to find out and examine the teacher's ability to build ethnomatematic literacy at TK AL Wisdom of Mujahideen and TK Kartika XIX-3. The benefits of research are to help develop the repertoire of theories, knowledge and practices regarding the ability of teachers to develop ethnomatematic literacy. This study produced several findings related to child etnomatematics literacy. Based on the results of the study it was found that the average ethnomatematic literacy before learning did not differ significantly from the experimental-control class. That is, that before learning is carried out, the initial ability difference between the two classes is obtained. Furthermore, after the action was carried out, posttest was carried out to see the final results after being given treatment in both classes. The posttest results on ethnomatematics literacy prove that there is a greater increase in the experimental class compared to the control class. The average posttest of the experimental class is 125.43 with the percentage of achievement that is equal to 91% while for the control group the average is 105.95 with the percentage of achievement that is equal to 82%. Summary of the scores on children's ethnomatematic literacy in the control and experimental classes. The results of the study prove that the actions in the experimental class were able to improve children's ethnomatic literacy better than the control class.
