In 2013, the graduate competence of the midwifery department that fit current job demand was only 15%. Knowledge is one of the aspects of midwifery education quality. Small-Group Discussion (SGD) is one of the forms of students centered learning (SCL) where students are demanded to solve problems through a small group discussion. The object of this study is to figure out a comparison of knowledge improvement through the use of SGD or conventional methods. The method used in the study is quantitative of experimental pre-posttest design. The researcher divides the sample into two groups, the experimental group (19) is given an SGD approach and the control group (19) is given a conventional course approach. Based on the Independent Sample T-test, the value of Sig. (2-tailed) is 0.006 (0.05). Hence, it can be concluded that there is a significant difference between the average score of students’ knowledge level in the SGD group and the conventional group. The SGD group appears to have a higher improvement of average score, which is from 6.3 to 8.1 while the average score of the conventional group is from 6.1 to 6.8. Hence, it is considered that the SGD learning method can improve knowledge of midwifery students and can be used as an effective alternative method to achieve a student-centered learning system for other midwifery institutions.

This research aims to compare the effectiveness of two methods, PQRST (Preview, Question, Read, State and Test) and SGD (Small Group Discussion). It was carried out at the second semester students of Penjaskesrek Department, Dehasen University. The design was a quasi-experiment. The sample consisted of two classes; one was taught by the PQRST method and another by the SGD method. The instrument was a reading test, which was tried-out; the reliability was 0.917 (very high). The result was as follows: at the pretest, there was no significant difference between both group on all aspects and at the post test, there were no significant difference between both groups on general comprehension, reading to learn from the text, and reading to integrate information. However, SGD was found to be more effective on finding general information while PQRST was found to be more effective on reading to skim and finding simple information.


To investigate the research objectives, the researchers put the following hypothesis: There was no statistically significant difference at the level of (0.05) between the average score of the students of the experimental group who studied the language of rhetoric according to model of learning method, and the average score of the students of the control group who studied the same article in the traditional way acquiring rhetorical concept. The researchers relied on the experimental design with the partial setting of the post-test, which depends on the experimental group that is taught using the model of the learning method, and the control group taught using the traditional method. The research sample consists of (69) female students, (34) students in the experimental group, and (35) students in the control group, the differences between the two groups in (age, intelligence) have been considered. Then, the researchers tried to adjust a number of extraneous variables that may affect the dependent variable. The researchers studied the two research groups and included the following subjects: Courage, Genetics, Disability, and Interview. In order to conduct the research experiment, the researchers identified the rhetorical concepts in the three chapters, which reached (8) historical concepts, and formulated behavioral goals in the light of their acquisition processes (concept definition, concept differentiation, concept application) Writing instructional plans and preparing the acquisition test of rhetorical concepts. The following statistical methods: (TEST for two independent samples, the difficulty and discrimination coefficient, and the coefficient of correlation Pearson and Seberman) have been used, and the following conclusion appeared: 1. The students of the experimental group who studied according to the model of the learning process were superior to the students of the control group who studied the traditional way of acquiring rhetorical concepts In the light of the results of the research, a number of conclusions about teaching using the model of learning appeared and a set of recommendations and suggestions are given.

This study investigated the significant effect of small group discussion toward students’ presentation skill of hortatory exposition text. The design of the study was quasi experiment. The researcher chose the eleventh grade of SMAN 1 Kebomas which totally consist of 46 students. The sample was divided into two groups. XI-MIPA-1 was as the experiment group and XI-MIPA-2 was as the control group. The data was collected by using tests, pretest and posttest. The research finding showed that there was difference between experiment group who were taught by small group discussion method and control group who were taught by peer discussion. It is proven by the result of sig. (2tailed) is 0.039 and 0.038. The sig. (2tailed) is lower than 0.05 but it closer to 0.05. So, the null hypothesis can be rejected. It means that small group discussion gave positive effects on students’ presentation skill. The researcher concluded that small group discussion gave positive effect on students’ presentation skill. They were better in developing paragraph and better in word choices.

Currently the Problem Based Learning (PBL) and Student Centered Learning (SCL) learning models are starting to be applied in universities with the aim of involving students actively in learning, one of which are Medical students of the UNS FK. One method of these learnings is Small Group Discussion (SGD). This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the SGD learning method that has been applied to Medical students of the UNS FK. The method used in this research is qualitative method. The result was found that the SGD learning method that had been applied was still less effective, but it was more effective compared to conventional learning methods. Therefore, it is necessary to make some improvements to this learning method so that it is more effective and the goal can be achieved.

The concept of Problem-based Learning (PBL) was first introduced at McMaster University in the late 1960s and was subsequently accepted widely by the medical schools throughout the world. hPBL has been intuitively viewed by many as a cocktail curriculum of McMaster style of small group discussion PBL (generally referred to as “pure PBL”) with the blending of variable amounts of traditional lectures, practical sessions and case-studies. Objectives: The study was done as an introduction of innovative teaching learning method and its learning experiences by students and faculty involved. The innovative teaching learning method was adapted during the year July – October - 2019 when the students were posted in the department of community medicine for four weeks. The TL methods included were blended lectures; case scenarios (clinico social case pertaining to community medicine subject), pre test and post test MCQs, case presentation and in small group discussion were done. The experiences were obtained as the reflective writing from the students and the faculty involved in implementation of h-PBL. Majority of the students expressed that the learning was useful, interactive, thought provoking, interesting and the group discussion paved the way for communication skill development among the peers. The students said that the learning happened actively and scope for self directed learning was also incorporated in the implementation of h-PBL. Faculties involved were very enthusiastic especially during the group discussions, because the sociogram was excellently represented that almost all the students took part in the discussion. The h-PBL can be a part of the regular curriculum during the clinical postings which can include case based learning with blended lectures.

This study aimed at discovering the implementation of MODis-ARCS strategy to students’ verbal communication skill and learning outcomes. This study was a quasi-experimental using non- equivalent control group design. Purposive sampling was used to collect the data. There were 65 students of information technology education (control) and physics education (experimental) who used as the samples of study. The MODis-ARCS strategy was implemented on the experimental group, while small group discussion was used in the control group. Data collection techniques used test instrument that was in the form of essay items and non-test which was in the form of observation sheets of communication skill. Validity scores, Cronbach’s coefficient alpha, n-gain, independent sample t-test and paired t-test were used as the data analysis techniques. The results of study indicated that 1) n-gain of students’ learning outcomes and verbal communication skill for the control group was 0.12 and 0.07, in which it was categorized as low, while for the experimental group was 0.29 and 0.48 in the moderate category. 2) Both of groups had similar initial abilities, and there was a difference on the learning outcomes, as well as the verbal communication skill between the control and experimental classes, 3) There was an improvement on the students’ learning outcomes and verbal communication skill on the control and experimental groups, in which the significance value was ɑ=5%; however, the improvement of experimental group was greater than the control group. Therefore, it can be concluded that the MODis-ARCS strategy can improve the students’ verbal communication skill and learning outcomes.
