This study aims to identify the effectiveness of the flipped classroom strategy in developing the skills of reciting the Holy Qur’an, and the attitude towards the strategy among first grade intermediate school female students. The research sample was a random sample of 48 intermediate female students divided into two 24-student groups: a control group and an experimental group. To collect data according to the quasi-experimental design method, a note card was designed to measure recitation skills of the Qur’an, and a scale developed to record attitude towards the flipped classroom strategy. The note card was applied to the research sample. The results revealed a statistically significant difference (α ≤ 0.05) in favor of the experimental group between the average scores of the two groups in the post application of the note card. The results also showed a statistically significant difference between the average scores of the experimental group (α ≤ 0.05) in the post application of the attitude scale towards the flipped classroom strategy. Lastly, the results showed a statistically significant correlation between the skills of reciting the Holy Qur’an and the attitude towards the flipped classroom strategy among first grade intermediate female students. Based on these results, we present a number of recommendations and suggestions, including expanding the application of the flipped classroom strategy to other age groups and different courses.

The flipped classroom model has become more popular and one of the focus of many researchers and teachers in the recent years. The aim of current study is to explore the effect of flipped classroom model on students’ achievements in the new SAT 2016 mathematics skills (Heart of Algebra, Problem solving and data analysis, and Passport to Advanced Math) for the eleventh grade Emirati female students in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates. Specifically, this study aims at determining whether there was a statistically significant difference in student achievements in the new SAT mathematics skills between two groups of grade 11 students. Thus, pretest/posttest quasi-experimental design was applied. The experimental group was taught by flipped classroom model, and the control group was taught by traditional instruction methods. The results revealed that there is a statistically significant difference between the pretest and posttest of the experimental group over the control group the new SAT mathematics skills. Furthermore, the findings suggest that teachers who teach mathematics standardized test skills like SAT can use flipped classroom model to enhance students’ readiness and to improve their thinking skills to simulate the 21st-century skills.

The present study aims to identify the influence of human development skills on creative expression among first-grade intermediate female students. The two researchers chose a sample of (61) female students from the first intermediate grade in Al-Siyadah School for Girls affiliated to the Directorate of Education in the Province of Babylon. They were divided into two groups, with (30) female students in the experimental group and (31) female students in the control group. The two researchers studied the experimental group according to Human development skills. They studied the control group in the traditional way. They prepared a test that consisted of (20) items of the type of true and false. The total score of the test was (60) scores, with three scores for each item. The second part was an essay question with a higher score of (40). After verifying the validity and difficulty of its items, the strength of its distinction, and the stability of correction according to the criteria used by the two researchers with a duration of the experiment that lasted an entire semester, the two researchers used the t-test for two independent samples, the item discrimination coefficient, the CHI square, the difficulty coefficient, Pearson correlation coefficient, And the Spearman-Brown equation. The results showed the superiority of the experimental group students who studied according to human development skills over the control group students who studied in the traditional way in the creative expression skills test. The results indicate that there is a statistically significant difference between the average scores of the experimental group students which is (79,57) and the average scores of the control group students which is (69,74) in the creative written expression skills test.

The study aimed to investigate the effect of using PDEODE strategy on the eighth grade students’ achievement  in science and their attitudes towards the strategy. To achieve the objectives of the study, a sample of eighth grade students was selected, consisting of 61 students distributed in two groups: an experimental of 31 female students who studied science using PDEODE strategy, and a control group of 30 female students who studied via the regular method. Two instruments were built; The first was an achievement test, which was applied on both groups before and after treatment, and the second was an attitude scale, which was applied on the experimental group after treatment. The results revealed that there is a statistically significant difference in the achievement of female students attributed to the teaching strategy on the test level as a whole, and at the level of knowledge fields (remembering, understanding, analyzing), for the benefit of the experimental group. There were, however,  no differences  between the two groups at the applying  level. The results also indicated that the attitudes of students in the experimental group towards learning with PDEODE strategy were high and positive.

Background: Hippotherapy is recognized as an integrative therapy in rehabilitation programs as it provides a basis for neurological function and sensory processing. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of hippotherapy on posture and trunk control in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. Materials and Methods: This study which a pre-test/post-test quasi experimental model with a control group was included 24 participants aged 7-12 years. In addition to routine physiotherapy and rehabilitation program for participants in experimental group, hippotherapy training sessions lasting 30 minutes were given once a week for 12 weeks each, under the direction of a physiotherapist. Postural alignment changes were evaluated by using New York Posture Rating Chart (NYPR). Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS) was used to evaluate trunk control. Results: The mean age was 13.62 ± 3.17 years. Mean body mass index (BMI) was 23.34 ± 3.38 kg / m2. There was no statistically significant difference between groups in terms of age, gender, BMI, and GMFCS (p> 0.05 for all). There was no difference in NYPR results between the groups (p> 0.05). Total TIS score and static sub-parameter scores were higher in experimental group, after the treatment (p <0.05), whereas there was no difference in terms of dynamic and coordination sub-parameters. Conclusions: We concluded that hippotherapy is a viable treatment strategy to obtain functional results in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. However, we emphasize that effectiveness of hippotherapy in different age groups should be investigated with larger sample groups.

Kodály-inspired pedagogy enables students to participate effectively in a music course by engaging in active musical interactions with folk songs and melodies. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of Kodály-inspired pedagogy on recorder performance and attitudes toward music of secondary school students. A quasi-experimental design was used in the study. The experimental group was taught using Kodály-inspired pedagogy and the control group using the general music teaching methods for 9 weeks. A two-way mixed-design analysis of variance (ANOVA) and content analysis were used to analyze the data. A Recorder Performance Grading Key, music course attitude scale, and open-ended questions were used to collect the data. Consequently, the findings indicated that Kodály-inspired pedagogy had a significant effect on the students’ recorder performance but the researchers could not find a significant effect on students’ attitudes toward the music course. Moreover, students in the experimental group reported improvement in their recorder performance and attitudes toward music education. The researchers recommended including information about the implementation of Kodály-inspired pedagogy in music teacher textbooks, providing in-service training for teachers to enable them to use Kodály-inspired pedagogy.
