This research is aimed at finding out: the use of snowball throwing learning model significant develop the students’ writing ability of the tennth year students of SMA Negeri 1 Halteng. Related to the aim of the research, a quasi-experimental design was carry out. The population was the tenth year students of SMA Negeri 1 Halteng. Two classes chose randomly as sample. As the result, the experimental group consisted of 30 students while the control group consisted of 30 students. The data was collected through writing test which was conducted through two terms namely pretest and posttest. The data required from writing test was analyzed by using t-test and percentage technique. The result of this research indicated that The use of Snowball Throwing Learning Model was able to improve the students’ writing ability. The result of the research indicated that there was significant different of the students’ achievement on writing ability of students who were taught by Snowball Throwing Learning Model and by conventional way (direct instruction technique). It is proved by t-test value of students posttest (3.73) which greater than pretest (0.06). the t-test (3.73) was greater than t-table value (2.021) for 0,05 level of significance, degree of freedom (N1+N2 - 2)= 58.

This study is aimed to find out whether Examples Non Examples method significantly effects the students’ achievement in writing descriptive text. This study was an experimental design. The population of the study was grade VIII of SMP Swasta Siti Hajar. There were two classes as the sample and each class consisted of 30 students. The classes were divided into two groups, namely Experimental and Control group. Experimental group was the class taught by applying Examples Non Examples method, while Control was taught without using Examples Non Examples method. In this study, writing test was used as the instrument of collecting the data. Both experimental and control group were asked to write descriptive paragraph in pre-test and post-test. The data obtained were analyzed statistically by t-test formula. The result got that t-observed (t-obs) is higher than t-table (2.64 > 2.042) at the level significance 0.05 with the degree of freedom (df) 58. It means that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and Examples Non Examples method significantly effects students’ achievement in writing descriptive text.

The objective of the study is to discover the effect of applying Discussion Strategy on students’ achievement in writing descriptive text. The study was conducted by using experimental research design. The samples were taken by using random technique through lottery and two out of 7 classes were taken into samples, X-1 as experimental group was taught Discussion Strategy and X-3 as control group was taught Conventional Strategy, each class has 30 students. The instrument for collecting the data was writing test. The data were analyzed by using t-test formula. After analyzing the data, it was found that the value of t0 (3,561) with the degree of freedom (df)=58 at the level of significance p (0,05) = 2,004. It means that t0 was considerably higher than tt (3,561 > 2,004). The result showed that Discussion Strategy had a significant effect on students’ writing achievement. So, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted.

This study focused on finding out the effect of applying RAP (Read, Ask,Paraphrase) Strategy on students’ reading comprehension in reading analyticalexposition text. This study was conducted in experimental design. The populationof this research was the second year of students in SMA Swasta Katolik BudiMurni 2 Medan. There were seventy students of the second year senior highschool students as the sample of the research. This study was conducted with tworandomized groups namely Experimental Group and Control Group. Theexperimental group was taught by applying RAP Strategy, while the control groupwas taught by applying conventional strategy. The instrument of collecting thedata was multiple choice tests which consisted of 25 items. The data wereanalyzed by using t-test formula. The calculation shown that t-observed (5.36)was higher than t-table (1.994) at the level of significance (α) 0.05 with the degreeof freedom (df) 68. It means that there was a significant effect of applying RAPStrategy on students’ reading comprehension in reading analytical exposition text.

The problem of this research is whether the application of cooperative learning method is effective in reducing student’s anxiety in learning Math at grade VII at the topic of round numbers. The objective of the research is to know the effectiveness of cooperative learning in reducing student’s anxiety in learning Math at the topic of round numbers at grade VII SMP Negeri 1 Baubau. This research is descriptive quantitative by applying quasi experimental design. The sample taken consisted of 54 students which is each group consisted of 27 students. The instrument used in this research is test. The result of the research show that (1)The mean score of students learning in Math in experimental group before treatment is 56,48 with standard of deviation is 18,65 and after treatment is 83,70 with standard of deviation is 15,54. (2)The mean score of students learning in Math in control group before treatment is 56,67 with standard of deviation is 17,26 and after treatment is 73,51 with standard of deviation is 17,58. (3)Based on the mean score of students result in learning who is taught through those model of learning and seeing the result of statistic inferential of t test shows that learning through cooperative learning method is more effective to reduce students anxiety in learning Math.

The quest for better strategies in teaching is a never-ending process. This scenario is heightened more by the myriad online instructional materials fit for classroom use. The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of video lecture materials for statistics proficiency of first year students of Davao Doctors College.The researchers employed quasi-experimental design that involved purposively chosen 31 students for the control group and 26 students for the experimental group. The control group received traditional instruction while the experimental group utilized video lecture materials as the instructional tool. The questionnaire consisted 50 multiple choice items and established a reliability index of .82. This investigation used t-test analysis to establish the same level of statistics proficiency among the students before the conduct of the study. The study concluded that both learning strategies were effective in teaching students the basic concepts of statistics as indicated by the significant improvement of their pre-test to posttest scores. Although the posttest results of the students who were taught using video lecture materials were higher than those supervised using lecture method, the significance of this difference was never established. Thus, the use of video learning material as an instructional tool in statistics is equally effective with the traditional lecture method. Keywords - Mathematics education, video lecture material, effectiveness, statisticsproficiency, quasi-experimental design, significant difference, t-test, Philippines
