ملخص البحث:في عصر تتزايد فيه التحديات والعقبات، يتطلب ذلك منا رفع مستوى الوعي وتحديد فعالية التقنية، وإتقان الأداء في كل مجال نتعامل به، ومنها ما يتعلق بعملية تعليم اللغة العربية بوصفها لغة ثانية لأبناء المسلمين، وفي بيئة غير بعيدة عن العربية وبدافع ديني خالص. في ضوء ذلك، تستهدف هذه الدراسة إبراز ظاهرة احتياجية هؤلاء الأبناء إلى الوسيلة الخاصة في تحقيق طموحاتهم تجاه اللغة، وبالنظر إلى تجربة استخدام طريقة الكلمة المفتاحية في اكتساب المفردات العربية في المدرسة الثانوية الوطنية بماليزيا، تمّ جمع بياناتها من ست تجارب، وتتألف عينة الدراسة من 240 طالبًا وطالبةً، موزعين بين المجموعة التجريبية والمجموعة الضابطة لتعلم 110 كلمات. وطُلب من المجموعة التجريبية استخدام طريقة الكلمة المفتاحية في تذكر المفردات، بينما طُلب من المجموعة الضابطة تذكر المفردات بالطريقة التي يفضلونها، ثم أجري عليهم الاختبار المؤجل والفوري فردياًّ. وأظهرت النتائج تفوق المجموعة التجريبية على المجموعة الضابطة في كل التجاري التي أجريت، وأشارت النتائج المحللة من الاستبانة إلى أن طريقة الكلمة المفتاحية مُعِينة للذاكرة، وبإمكانها تسهيل تذكر مفردات اللغة العربية، واستثارة دوافع الطلبة إلى تعلمها. وخلص  البحث إلى أن طريقة الكلمة المفتاحية تُعَدُّ من ضمن استراتيجيات تعلم مفردات اللغة الثانية التي يمكن استخدامها في اكتساب مفردات اللغة العربية، وذلك لإيجابيتها وفعّاليّتها في تسهيل تعلم معاني المفردات وسرعة استدعائها عند الحاجة. الكلمات المفتاحية: التعليم- التعلم- التقنيات- الكلمات المفتاحية- التحليل.Abstract:The era of increasing challenges that we live in requires us to be aware of the importance of improving the effectiveness of the methods and techniques as well as the overall performance in the fields that we are involved in, which are among others, the teaching of Arabic as a second language in the non-native setting with the religious purpose as the only factor. This paper presents the needs of those students to a method that would help them learn the language through the use of keywords method in enriching their vocabulary stock. Six experiments were conducted with more than 240 students divided into the experimental and the control groups. 110 words were given; the experimental group were given the keyword method while the control group were given the choice to learn them through their preferred method. A summative and instant exams were conducted individually. The result is that the experimental group proved to be more competent than the control one. The questionnaire also revealed that the keyword method did help the students significantly to learn and motive the acquisition of vocabularies. Therefore, the keyword method is proven to be one of the effective strategies in learning new words as it affects positively the process of learning new words and be quickly used as needed.Keywords: Teaching– Learning– Techniques– Words– Analysis.Abstrak:Pada zaman yang semakin banyak cabarannya, kita perlu meningkatkan pengetahuan, memastikan keberkesanan sesuatu teknik serta memperbaiki pencapaian dalam bidang-bidang berkaitan.

Speaking Skills

In the history of language teaching, speaking has been the main point of interest for many researchers due to the fact that it is the first and foremost important skill by which learners are judged and needs instruction. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the development and implementation of teaching-learning techniques through the utilization of three engage, study and activate (ESA) elements involved in teaching of tasks in improving intermediate EFL learners’ speaking skills. In the current study, two intact groups of 15 participants were involved: the control group receiving regular instruction and experimental group receiving instruction through utilization of three ESA elements involved in teaching of tasks. Subjects were chosen from Chabahar Maritime University majoring in translation studies. The subjects were given a TOEFL proficiency test before the study to ensure that both are at the intermediate level of study at the outset. Then, both groups were given an FCE pretest of speaking to ensure both groups equivalence and homogeneity. After that, the control group was taught using audio-lingual method of teaching and the experimental group was taught by the utilization of ESA elements involved in teaching of speaking tasks. Finally, a posttest of speaking was administered to both groups to assess their speaking ability at the end of the study. The data analysis using independent samples t-test revealed that the subjects in the experimental group outperformed on mastering their speaking skills post-test compared with the control group.

The aim of this research is to investigate whether there is a meaningful difference in the academic success, between the students who are applied the "formula t-shirt method" (experimental group) and the students who are not (in other classes of the school), in the education for the scientists wanted to be taught in the secondary school 5th, 6th and 7th grade science textbooks. Semi-experimental method was used as research method. In the 6th grade, 27 students participated in this study as experimental group (students wearing t-shirts) and 49 students in the other classes of the school that did not participate in the study. Academic achievement test including pre-test and post-test, informative observations, students’ and teacher’s interviews as well as 20 printed t-shirts were used to collect data. The pilot study of the developed achievement test was applied in another school and also the item analysis of it was performed. According to the research findings, when the experimental group’s success post-test results from the application performed, were examined in line with the interviews, significant differences were observed. It was seen that the subjects aimed to be gained with the formula t-shirt method, were adopted by the students and also increased their success. Looking at the results of the research, thanks to wearing the t-shirts prepared by using the human body on the background, and the reconciliation of the students wearing with the scientists on t-shirts, the desired learning was provided. This also contributed to such learning techniques as peer learning, active learning, social learning in terms of visuality and integrity. It is thought that these materials developed with the formula t-shirt method, will also inspire researchers for future studies in terms of their usability in other fields and subjects

Kodály-inspired pedagogy enables students to participate effectively in a music course by engaging in active musical interactions with folk songs and melodies. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of Kodály-inspired pedagogy on recorder performance and attitudes toward music of secondary school students. A quasi-experimental design was used in the study. The experimental group was taught using Kodály-inspired pedagogy and the control group using the general music teaching methods for 9 weeks. A two-way mixed-design analysis of variance (ANOVA) and content analysis were used to analyze the data. A Recorder Performance Grading Key, music course attitude scale, and open-ended questions were used to collect the data. Consequently, the findings indicated that Kodály-inspired pedagogy had a significant effect on the students’ recorder performance but the researchers could not find a significant effect on students’ attitudes toward the music course. Moreover, students in the experimental group reported improvement in their recorder performance and attitudes toward music education. The researchers recommended including information about the implementation of Kodály-inspired pedagogy in music teacher textbooks, providing in-service training for teachers to enable them to use Kodály-inspired pedagogy.

Musical Cues

Previous research has examined the utilisation of musical cues to improve the performance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) delivered in training environments. We postulated a musical cue that is both contemporary and transcends cultures may improve CPR performance. Our aim was to establish whether chest compressions are performed with improved rate and depth if a song of a fixed beat (PinkFong’s ‘Baby Shark’ with a tempo of 115 beats per minute (bpm) and 15 beats in each verse) is played to a healthcare professional immediately before undertaking CPR compared to whale noises (a non-metronomic rhythm). 58 Participants of a paediatric conference (majority doctors) were randomly assigned to listen to a minute of Baby Shark (28) or whale song (30) and then undertake a minute of CPR. There was no significant difference in the mean compression rate between the Baby Shark and control groups, with the groups achieving 121 and 125 bpm, respectively (p=0.18). In relation to compression depth within the target zone, the Baby Shark group had more compressions completed within the target zone (55%) than the control group (39%) although this difference was not significant (p=0.08). Listening to Baby Shark prior to undertaking simulated CPR does not improve overall performance, but there is a potential tendency to improve adequate compression depth which may be beneficial in training exercises.

AbstractThis study investigates the effectiveness of the reflection-based reciprocal teaching (RBRT) approach for Myanmar upper secondary school students’ reading comprehension in English. In the RBRT approach, the main frame is based on the reflective teaching model for reading comprehension (Oo and Habók in Int Electron J Elementary Educ 13(1):127–138, 2020), in which the reciprocal teaching method (involving questioning, clarifying, summarizing, and predicting) was applied. This study used cluster randomized trials. Two groups participated in the research: the experimental group, who were taught with the RBRT approach, and the control group, who were taught with traditional methods. Results showed that the RBRT approach has a strong effect on students’ English reading comprehension achievement. The experimental group increased its achievement on the posttest significantly, and the students’ results showed high effect size. It was also found that teachers’ reflection on the instructional context had a considerable impact on raising students’ reading comprehension achievement. The RBRT approach can be successfully applied in the classroom environment to develop students’ reading comprehension in English in Myanmar.

In Bangladesh some researchers have done several studies to find the correlation of simple diffuse goiter with arsenic level but no one conducted any study to find the differences of urinary iodine, urinary arsenic, radioiodine uptake, the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxin (FT4) levels between goitrous and non goitrous. That is why, in this research an attempt has been made to compare the urinary iodine, urinary arsenic, radioiodine uptake, TSH and FT4 levels between experimental group with simple diffuse goiter and healthy control group. In this study another purpose has also been made to find the associations between different pairs of variables for both experimental and control group. In this study we have tried to find the impacts of arsenic level on simple diffuse goiter. This is a case-control analytical study. The study is carried out in the Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Ultrasound, in collaboration with the thyroid out patient department of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University. A total of eighty five (85) subjects are included in the study. Among the 85 subjects, a sample of forty five is considered for experimental group with simple diffuse goiter and another sample of forty is considered for healthy control group without any thyroid disease. From the experimental results it has been found that, the arsenic levels, FT4 and radioiodine uptake levels at 2 hours between the experimental and control groups are significantly different but the urinary iodine levels, TSH levels and radioiodine uptake levels at 24 hours between the experimental and control groups are not statistically different. From the experimental results it has also been found that there is significant differentiation between experimental and controls groups in respect of association between different pairs of variables. In this study, another significant finding is that iodine deficiency is not only the factor of causing simple diffuse goiter, but arsenic level is also one of the most important factor of causing simple diffuse goiter. Key words: Iodine deficiency, Simple diffuse goiter, Urinary arsenic, Statistical analysis, Association, Experimental and Control groups  DOI = 10.3329/dujps.v7i1.1224 Dhaka Univ. J. Pharm.

Purpose This research applies a quasi-experimental research method to investigate the impact of an innovative resource titled “Accounting Exercise” (teaching intervention using physical movement and lyrics) on learning motivation and performance on a group of students enrolled in a first-year undergraduate accounting course in Japan. Design/methodology/approach Five classes were randomly assigned to either an experimental group (two classes) or a control group (three classes). In the experimental group, 90 students participated in a 15-min “Accounting Exercise” at the commencement of lectures over three consecutive weeks. The remaining 133 students assigned to the control group did not participate in the Accounting Exercise. Findings The findings indicate that the Accounting Exercise provided stimuli in maintaining students’ learning motivation. This finding is important for entry-level students where learning motivation has the potential to influence students’ future decisions on major areas of study and career choices. Originality/value This finding is important for entry-level students where future career options are decided. This effect is also believed to contribute to reducing the declining numbers of students in accounting majors.
