The study was aimed to finding out (1) Whether or not the use of authentic materials is effective to develop the reading comprehension achievement of Indonesian EFL Students, (2) Whether or not the use of authentic materials is effective to develop reading motivation of Indonesian EFL Students. The study was carried out under the quantitative paradigm with quasi experimental design. The participants were selected by using cluster sampling technique and divided into two groups, namely authentic group and pedagogic group. Each of groups consisted of 39 participants. All participants were first grade students of high school in Bone, Indonesia. The data of the students’ reading comprehension achievement were collected by using reading comprehension test, while the data about the students’ reading motivation were taken from Motivation for Reading Questionnaire (MRQ) containing 32 items on seven domains of motivation. The data collected were then analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics through SPSS 20 program. The result showed that (1) the use of authentic materials was effective than pedagogic materials to develop reading comprehension achievement of the first year students. It was seen from the significance t-test result that reveals the significance value was lower than the significance level; (0.00 < 0.05). Furthermore, in relation to the reading motivation of students, (2) it was found that authentic materials was effective to develop students’ reading motivation. The result showed that the p-value of students’ reading motivation before and after treatments was greater than the level of significance (0.00 < 0.05).

<p>Coastal tourist nursing takes an important role in managing health in coastal communities order. The improvement of accidents while traveling can occur due to natural phenomena and the negligence of tourists and lifeguards. Through the implementation of the coastal tourist nursing model, tourist safety can be improved by empowering lifeguards and community nurses as well as representing a multi-sectoral partnership between health-sector other sectors. This study used a quasi-experimental pre-post-test design with a control group and involved 118 lifeguards and 720 tourists. Sampling used the Cluster Sampling technique which was carried out on the coasts of Badung Regency. Data were analyzed with the chi-square test, t-test, and General Linear Model-Repeated Measure (GLM-RM). Measuring the safety of tourists using the benchmarks of knowledge, attitudes, and actions of tourists who studied with a questionnaire with the results of the validity test r-count&gt;0,361 and reliability test with r-Alpha for knowledge 0,870, attitude 0,888, and behavior 0,915. The increase was significant (p-value&lt;0,05) in all aspects of tourists in the intervention group after 3 months of giving the intervention model. However, tourist safety tended to decrease after 6 months of intervention. Strengthening the implementation of models and communication between lifeguards and community nurses is needed to maintain community safety in specific coastal groups.</p>

This research aims to compare educational games and virtual animations to mathematics learning outcomes in terms of student activity. The research was conducted in the fourth grade of SDN Jatirangga I Bekasi. The sampling technique used cluster sampling technique. The method used is a quasi-experimental design method. Furthermore, the normality and homogeneity prerequisite tests were carried out to show the normal and homogeneous data groups. After that, hypothesis testing using two-way ANNAVA obtained interaction t count (I) = 4.03 at the significance level of 0.05 t table = 3.96 because tcount> ttable then Ho was rejected. Thus, it means is an interaction between learning media and student activity towards mathematics learning outcomes. Because there is an interaction, Tukey's further test is carried out which gets the first result, namely Qcount = 4.85 while at α 0.05 dbv1 = 4 and dbv2 = 20 indicates Q table = 3.96. because Qcount> Qtable then Ho is rejected, it can be concluded that there are differences in mathematics learning outcomes using educational games and virtual animation on the low category of student activity. The second Tukey test shows the results, namely Qcount = 0.84 and Qtable = 3.96. It is concluded that by 0.84 <3.96 or Qcount <Qtable then Ho is accepted, it can be concluded that there is no difference in learning outcomes of mathematics using educational games and virtual animation on high category student activity.

In this research, the writer only uses one class as the sample by using the purposive sampling technique. In collecting the data, the writer use tests as an instrument. The data was analyzed by using a t-test. The result of this research showed that using task-based learning method effective in teaching reading comprehension of descriptive text. It can be seen from the significance t-test from students’ pre-test and post-test scores that is 2.450>2.056. Based on the statistical calculation, using task-based learning method reached t calculation of 2.450 which was higher than t table of 2.056 at a significance level of 5%. It also stated a significant increase in mean score between students’ pre-test score (51.8) and post-test score (80). The statistical hypothesis revealed that there were differences between both tests. Therefore, using the task-based learning method can be effective for students’ reading comprehension of descriptive text.
