One hundred and twenty students aged fifteen and sixteen years old participated in this study with an equal number of male and female students. The students were from two Arab high schools in Malaysia. This study employed a quasi-experimental research design. Data was collected using Analytical Marking Scale (Alderson, et al., 1995) to assess student’s writing performance in the pretest and posttest. The result of this study shows that there is a significant difference in the writing performances between the experimental and control groups at P < 0.001. The findings suggests that students who have been exposed to peer assessment training write a better draft compared with those students who were only given conventional training in writing an essay, and without the benefit of peer feedback.

The objective of this research was to find out whether there was a significant difference in vocabulary mastery between students who were taught using vocabulary self-collection strategy and those who were taught using a conventional method. This research used a quantitative approach with the experimental method of quasi-experimental design. There were 60 students involved as a sample of this research selected using the purposive cluster sampling technique. The instrument used was a test including pretest and posttest. Data were analyzed using Mann Whitney U test. The result indicated that the score of Asymp Sig. (2-tailed) was 0.001 which was fewer than α (0.05). It meant there was a significant difference in vocabulary mastery between students who were taught using vocabulary self-collection strategy and those who were taught using the conventional method. Furthermore, based on the result of the N-Gain test, it was found that the vocabulary self-collection strategy was more effective than the conventional method.

Each class consisted of 30 students from class XI IPS 2 as control group and class XI IPS 3 as experimental group. In collecting the data, reading comprehension test was used. The test was given twice to both experimental and control groups, as a pretest and posttest. To verify the hypotheses, the data of pretest and posttest were analyzed by using independent sample t-test and paired sample t-test in SPSS program. The findings showed that the p-output from paired sample t-test (sig2-tailed) was 0.000 which was lower than 0.05 and t-value 11.399 was higher than t-table with df=29 (2.0452).  The result of p-output from independent sample t-test was 0.001 which was lower than 0.05, and the t-value 3.465 was higher than t-table with df=58 (2.0017).

This research is a quasi experimental with the entire population of high school students of class XII HKBP Sidorame Medan academic year 2014/2015. The instrument used in this study is to test understanding of concepts in the form of multiplechoice tests and science process skills test in the form of description. Science process skills of observation carried out during the learning process and test understanding of concepts used before the beginning of learning to classify students into groups of high and low understanding of the concept and science process skills test conducted sebelim and after application of learning models. Science process skills test data analyzed by statistical test to test the hypothesis using t-test. Improved science process skills analyzed by normalized gain value, N-gain. The results showed that the model of problem-based learning (PBL) with high initial understanding of the concept of influence on science process skills of students with a significant difference to students with low to the understanding of the concept of matter waves and sound. And the conventional group was not significant differences between the groups pemahamn low and high concept.
