The aim of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of the sheltered instruction observation protocol (SIOP) model in teaching mathematics in English language for the preparatory year in improving the level of mathematical achievement. To achieve the aims of the research, the mixed design of the concurrent type was used, in which quantitative and qualitative data were collected simultaneously. The study was applied to a sample of (167) students in the preparatory year of Imam Muhammad bin Saud Islamic University for the first applied track. They were divided into two experimental groups that were taught Mathematics using the sheltered instruction observation protocol (SIOP) model and two control groups that were taught Mathematics using the usual standard method. The groups were subjected to an achievement test, and a sample was chosen according to the level of the achievement test for individual interviews. The results of the research showed that there is a statistically significant difference at the level of (α ≤ 0.05) between the average score of the female students in the control groups who were taught according to the traditional method, and those in the experimental groups who were taught according to the sheltered instruction observation protocol (SIOP) model in the achievement test, in favor of the experimental group. Additionally, the use of the sheltered instruction observation protocol (SIOP) model also had a high impact on the size of the achievement test by more than 0.14 as measured by squared Eta effect size. The use of the sheltered instruction observation protocol (SIOP) model was characterized by high effectiveness in developing mathematical achievement for students of the preparatory year in the experimental groups. The research also recommended the importance of training teachers on how to prepare and apply the sheltered instruction observation protocol (SIOP) model, paying attention to activities that combine content and language

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of using Prezi on Al Zaytoonah students’ performance in French Language reading skill. To achieve the purpose of the study, a pre/post-test was constructed to measure students’ performance in French language reading skill. The sample of the study comprised 128 students from Al Zaytoonah University and was distributed into two sections, which were selected purposefully. The sample of the study was distributed into two groups (one experimental and one control groups). The experimental group’s students were taught the reading skill using Prezi while the control groups’ students were taught using the traditional way. The sample of the study was 64 students in the experimental group and 64 students in the control group. Those groups were distributed into two purposefully selected sections in public schools in Amman. The results of the study showed a variance in the means of the achievement test according to group, it also showed that there were statistically significant differences on the achievement test due to the Strategy variable. There were statistically significant differences between using Prezi Strategy and the Current Strategy in favor of the Prezi Strategy, and there was no statistically significant difference in the students’ achievement due to gender. There was no statistically significant difference due to the interaction between gender and group. The researchers recommend that researchers focus on new teaching strategies and conduct more studies related this topic. They also recommend that other researchers conduct studies and focus on the role play strategy.

    The present study aimed at uncovering the effectiveness of employing the enrichment activities for mental thinking on the development of mathematical thinking and achievement among Grade 7 students. To achieve the research objectives, the researcher used the semi experimental design known as the design of the control group with the tribal and remote tests. In light of the experimental design, the average Grade 7 students tested the sample of the study in the second semester of 30 students who were divided into 15 students for the experimental group and 15 students for the control group after checking the validity and stability of the tools. The results showed that there was a statistically significant difference at (0.05) between the mean scores of the experimental and control groups in the cognitive achievement test related to the unit of Engineering in the second semester and the mathematical thinking test for the average of the experimental group. The results also showed a statistically significant difference) between the average scores of the experimental group students in the tribal and remote applications in the cognitive achievement test and the mathematical thinking test, and in favor of the average post-implementation. In the light of these results, the study presented a number of recommendations and suggestions.   ، ، ، ،

<p><em>The purpose of this study was to determine differences in students' mathematical communication skills based on gender with learning using metacognitive strategies. This research method is a quasi-experimental design using a pretest-posttest control group design. The sampling technique used was saturated sampling which consisted of 19 male students as the first experimental group and 17 female students as the second experimental group. The instrument used was in the form of a five-point essay test to measure the aspects of students' mathematical communication skills after being given a treatment, namely learning using metacognitive strategies. The pre-test mean score shows that female students are higher than male students, on the contrary, the average score of the post-test results, it is known that male students are higher. The data were analyzed using the t-test, it was concluded that there was a significant difference between the mathematical abilities of male and female students. This difference is consistent with several previous research results, although not a few studies also state that there is no significant difference between students' academic abilities based on gender.</em></p>

This study investigated the effect of using a teaching strategy that is based on multiple intelligences theory (MIT) on achieving the concepts of Jurisprudence among 8th grade students. The study’s sample consisted of 104 students divided into four groups: two experimental groups taught by using a teaching strategy that was based on multiple intelligences theory (MIT); and two control groups examined in the traditional method. To achieve the objectives of the study, an achievement test was used. The results of the study showed a statistically significant difference at (a=0.05) on achieving jurisprudence concepts among 8th grade students that may be attributed to using a teaching strategy based on MIT. There was no effect for the interaction between teaching strategy and student's gender on achieving Jurisprudence concepts among 8th grade students.

This paper reports on a study that investigates the effect of activity-based learning on the listening skills of male and female students’ achievement. It also considers the differences in the achievement of male and female students of grade VI. The study had a pre-test and post-test equivalent group design. A sample of 120 students was selected randomly from boys’ and girls’ schools of district Nowshera. In both gender schools, control and experimental groups were made. Each group consisted of 30 students. The experimental groups were instructed through activity-based learning, whereas the control groups were taught with the traditional method of language teaching. A total of four teachers, two from each gender school, were selected for teaching the assigned groups. A post-test was conducted at the end of the experiment in both groups. The results of the study showed that the experimental groups performed better than control groups in the listening test. Moreover, no significant difference was found between the achievements of boys and girls in experimental groups. The study recommends that professional teacher training courses should introduce and promote activity-based learning.
