This study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of using Mind mapping strategy in developing writing skills for sixth year primary school students in Qatar. Quasi-experimental design was used in this study. The population was the sixth year students of Al Forqan primary school for boys with a total number of 103 students. Out of this population, a purposive sample of 51 students was taken, the control group (27 students) and the experimental group (24 students). First, the data was collected by using a prewriting test. Then, the experiment had been implemented. Next, the second part of the data was collected using the posttest. The data obtained were analyzed by using t-test formula. The findings of study were: A) there are statistically significant differences between the mean scores obtained by participants in the pre-test and those of the post-test of the experimental group in writing skills in favor to the posttest. B) there are statistically significant differences between the mean scores obtained by participants in the post-test of the control group and the experimental group in writing skills in favor to the experimental group. Depending on the statistical analyses of the hypotheses of the study, we can safely conclude that exposing students to the training strategy helped them develop their performance during the post administration of the writing skills test. In light of the results, a number of points can be recommended: writing skills via mind mapping strategy use in the primary stage specially in the 6th grade students should be emphasized in teaching writing skills. Moreover, deliberation attempts should be made to help students in the primary stage acquire and use the writing as amusing as possible. Furthermore, the objectives of teaching English language should concentrate on writing skills beyond the mechanics level and emphasize writing as a process.

Adolescents are the prospective citizens of any nation; therefore, investment in terms of the well-being of adolescents is considered quite rewarding. Adolescents are now attaining biological maturity earlier than the previous generation, as witnessed by the gradual decline in average age of puberty and menarche; hence, it becomes imperative to address this cohort of the population. Integration of technology in the field of education has been an area of research for a long. The present study attempts to use digital technology in the form of e-modules created through H5P in creating awareness about adolescent reproductive health on upper primary school students. A sample of 309 students from randomly selected ten unaided private schools of Sonipat district of Haryana was taken. Interactive e-modules were developed for addressing adolescent reproductive health. After the pre-test administration, the experimental group was taught through e-modules and the control group was taught through the conventional method. The data was collected through validated tools over a period of three months. A post-test was conducted afterward to assess the awareness level. After ascertaining comparability of the two groups, data was analyzed using percentage and t-statistics. The data analysis showed that the difference in the mean and standard deviation of the post-test scores of the experimental group 20.50 ± 3.40 and the control group 15.72 ± 4.03 were statistically significant at 0.001 level (t value = 11.26, d.f. = 297). Thus, the study concludes that the interactive e-modules effectively create awareness about adolescent reproductive health at the upper primary school stage.
