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.

AbstrakLuka tekan (luka akibat penekanan yang terus menerus) adalah masalah yang umum terjadi pada kelompok klien tertentu seperti klien usia lanjut, klien kritis, dan klien yang menderita kelumpuhan. Luka tekan ini menimbulkan banyak masalah: tingginya biaya yang dikeluarkan untuk mengobati luka, menurunnya kualitas hidup klien, lamanya dirawat di rumah sakit, dan meningkatnya angka kematian klien. Penelitian dilakukan untuk membandingkan efektivitas pemakaian balutan modern (hydrocolloid) dan gula povidine-iodine 1% di 4 rumah sakit di Jakarta selama 2 bulan dengan menggunakan desain non-equivalent control group pre dan posttest. Didapat total sampel sebanyak 25 klien, dibagi secara random ke dalam 2 kelompok; kelompok hydrocolloid dan kelompok gula povidine-iodine 1%. Setiap sampel dilakukan pretest, kemudian dirawat selama 3 minggu, dan setiap minggu perawatan dilakukan posttest oleh peneliti. Hasil yang didapat adalah tidak ada perbedaan yang bermakna untuk pengecilan area luka tekan - walaupun ketika membandingkan kecepatan penghancuran jaringan mati dan kecepatan pertumbuhan granulasi, terlihat bahwa kedua keadaan ini lebih cepat terjadi di kelompok gula povidine-iodinee 1%-. Untuk biaya perawatan lebih tinggi di kelompok hydrocolloid, sedangkan untuk lamanya waktu perawatan luka lebih cepat. AbstractPressure ulcers (ulcers which caused by body pressure) are common problems in some sub-specific patients, such as, elderly patients, critical-ill and para paraplegia patients. Pressure ulcers induces problems: the costs involved, patients’ quality of life and mortality rate. Research purposed to compare the efectivity hydrocolloid dressing and sugar Povidine-iodine (1%) dressing. Research has been conducted within the 4 selected hospitals in 2 months period of time using non equivalen control group; pre and post test. Total sample was 25 patients, which divided onto 2 groups: hydrocolloid group and sugar povidineiodinee group. Pre-test was also done to obtain initial data to be used for further treatments with hydrocolloid dressing and sugar Povidine-iodine (1%) dressing. Each patient was treating for 3 weeks, and in each week was conducted a post-test. Results from processing the data obtained, indicating that there was no significant difference on wound size reduction.

The objective of the study is to identify: (1) the influence of Tabata training from the perspective of “Good” category in preliminary VO2Max level; (2) the influence of Tabata training from the perspective of “Moderate” category in preliminary VO2Max level; (3) the influence of Tabata training from the perspective of “Poor” category in preliminary VO2Max level; and (4) the appropriate preliminary VO2Max level that should be assigned on the Tabata training method. Looking at the objective of the study, the nature of the study is indeed quantitative while the method that had been implemented is the quasi-experimental research with non-equivalent (pre-test and post-test) control group design. Within the conduct of the study, the number of the sample that had been involved was 60 respondents and these samples were gathered by means of quota sampling. Then, the data that had been gathered were analysed by using the paired sample t-test in order to test the hypotheses that had been assigned. The results of the study show that the Tabata training method is appropriate to be assigned in the “Moderate” category of preliminary VO2Max level. Departing from the conclusion, it might be implied that the study might be conducted further by adding the number of the sample and by adding the different type of samples.

This research is a study of improving students’ ability in reading comprehension. The aim was to find out whether the use of Herringbone technique would bring a significant difference in teaching reading comprehension through Recount text, compared with the result before the students being treated. The study was conducted in the tenth grade students of SMA N 4 Pematangsiantar. The research method used was the experimental design, where the Experimental group was the PMIA 3 class, and the PMIA 2 class as the control class. Both of the classes had 34 students in each of it. The data were obtained through pre-test, treatment and post test. The pre-test was held to know the students’ basic ability or score before treatment was given. Meanwhile, the post test was held to know the students’ achievement and significant effect after the students were taught using Herringbone technique. Finding of the research showed that both groups had a significant improvement in their reading ability after being treated and passed the KKM. The Control group, which the pre-test score was 60, made an improvement shown in their post-test score in amount of 70,44. The experimental group, the group which the researcher treated the Herringbone technique to them, had a higher improvement than the control group. The average score of pre-test in this group was about 54,41 where then being improved up to 78,97. The score of t-test (3,981) was higher than t-table (1,668) at the level of significance 5% for two tailed test, so Null Hypothesis is rejected and Alternative Hypothesis is accepted.
