This paper provides the Pelmanism technique which can be used by the teachers to make their students enjoyable in learning grammar. Pelmanism is a matching card which is challenged by hiding the cards’ face. Using Pelmanism in teaching grammar can be done by giving the students a pack of cards that contained of sentence to the grammar’s topic. The teacher spread the cards face down on the table and then the students try to match the sentences with the appropriate grammar (Case: 2009). This paper aims at finding out the students’ improvement in grammar especially for Subject Verb Agreement by using Pelmanism technique, it is expected to change the students’ way of study from passive to be active and expected to be an effort of changing the classroom atmosphere and to provide useful contribution to the teachers to activate and organize students’ prior knowledge. In this study aim, the researcher applied the experimental research which used the Quasi Experimental method with two classes pretest-posttest design with two groups; experimental group and control group that consisted of 27 students for each group of the eight grade students of SMP Negeri 3 Balusu Barru. The researcher used grammar test of SVA and questionnaire in collecting data. The result of the research showed that after applying Pelmanism technique, the students had good improvement. It was clear that the treatments which were done in experimental group had gone well and the students were felt interested in learning grammar of SVA by using Pelmanism technique. Thus, the researcher concluded that Pelmanism technique could increase the students’ grammar ability of SVA of the eight grade students of SMP Negeri 3 Balusu Barru.

This study was conducted to determine the influence of the FG Vega technique on students' academic performance to address the least learned competency in Science 8. Seventy students from Grade 8 classes served as respondents of the study. The study employed a quasi-experimental method. The mean score of students who took the post-test is 32.03 and 27.57 respectively for the experimental and control group. The results can be gleaned that the score of each student in the experimental group has a little variation of mean with 6.71 as compared to the control group with a variation of 7.52. The results can be observed that the mean score of students in the pre-test under the control group is 8.80 and 11.34 under the experimental group. Thus, the results of the study can be further concluded that the students under the experimental group outperformed the students in the control group. Since the significant level is lesser than the p-value of 0.05, indicates that there is a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test under the experimental group. Hence, there is a significant difference between the post-test of the experimental and control group.

BackgroundWhilst there is evidence to suggest paramedics experience significant stress when working in the ambulance setting little is known about the experiences of first year paramedic students. This research aimed to: (i) identify whether levels of stress, anxiety and depression experienced by first year paramedic students changed after ambulance placement compared to a control group, and (ii) identify the main perceived and actual sources of stress around ambulance placement.MethodsA before-and-after quasi-experimental design was used to compare whether the experience of ambulance placement altered the levels of stress, anxiety and depression in an experimental group that attended an ambulance placement (n = 20) and the control group who did not (n = 10). Online surveys encompassing the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) and qualitative questions about sources of stress were concurrently deployed to both the experimental and control groups before and after the ambulance placement. Participants were first year paramedic students working in Queensland Ambulance Service, Australia.ResultsThere was a significant reduction in levels of stress in participants after undertaking their first ambulance placement (Mdn = -4.00) when compared to a control group (Mdn = 0.00), U = 52.5, p = .035, n2 = 0.15. Responses to survey questions suggest anticipation about experiencing death and dying of patients was the most frequently reported stressor of student paramedics before undertaking ambulance placements, however insecurity about knowledge, competence and fear of failure was the most frequently experienced stressor reported after completing ambulance placements.ConclusionsThe findings from this study suggest that the fear of the unknown may be worse than the reality. Anticipatory stress is the foremost problem for first year paramedic students attending their first ambulance placement. Placement pre-briefing should focus on educational interventions to build knowledge and skills competency to reduce stress levels and fear of failure.
