Play therapy helps to meet the emotional needs of children who have an illness or surgery & are in the hospital. A quasi-experimental outcome research study was conducted in two hospitals in different areas of Nadiad, with one assigned as the control and the other as the experimental hospital. Purposive sampling technique was used to select total 40 samples. Modied Anxiety Scale was used to assess the level of anxiety. The data was analyzed by using the descriptive and inferential statistics. The result of present study reveals that there is a reduced level of anxiety after administering the play therapy in experimental group. The mean pre-test anxiety score (53.70) was higher than the mean post-test (23.95) anxiety score in experimental group with the mean difference of 29.75, which shows there is a reduce level of anxiety after administering play therapy in experimental group. The post test anxiety score of control group (42.9) is higher thant the post test anxiety score (23.95) of experimental group, which shows there is a higher level of anxiety in control group. There is no signicant association between level of anxiety and demographic variables. The study concluded that there is a need of play therapy to reduce the anxiety and stress of hospitalized children.

Making connections between the representations of trigonometric functions and an interpretation of graphs of the functions are major challenges to many students. This study explores the effectiveness of the GeoGebra on grade 12 students’ success in making connections between the representations of trigonometric functions and the interpretation of graphs. A non-equivalent control-group pre-test post-test quasi-experimental design was used. The sample of the study consisted of sixty-one grade 12 students from two schools. The results showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the mean achievements of the experimental group and the control group on making connections between representations of trigonometric functions, and on analyses and interpretations of representations of trigonometric functions, in favour of the experimental group. This study extends the findings of previous studies on the effectiveness of dynamic mathematics software on students’ learning of representations and interpretation of graphs of trigonometric functions.            Keywords: GeoGebra, functions graphs, Trigonometric functions

This research was aimed at finding whether or not the use of digital storytelling and dictionary can improve students’ vocabulary mastery. To get the answer of the defined research questions, the researcher used quantitative approach and quasi experimental design. The research had been done in SMPN 1 Cilamaya Wetan, and took two classes as sample, namely, 8G and 8H with 40 respondents in each class. There were three steps in this research, namely pre-test, treatment, and post-test. Pre-test was held in both classes to know students’ vocabulary mastery before the treatment. After doing pretest, treatment was held in experimental class by using digital storytelling and dictionary, that used the technology such as infocus, projector, speaker, and LCD in which the materials were taken from youtube, while control class only  used song lyrics. In the next step, posttest was held in both classes to know the improvement after the treatment in experimental class. The data of the study were analyzed by using SPSS version 22 for windows. This research findings showed that experimental group had higher vocabulary score than control group. It can be seen from the posttest mean of experimental group was 74.75 , while the mean of control group was 60,62. Meanwhile, the average of normality gained in experimental group was 0.37  and the average of normality gained in control group was 0.075. Thus, the improvement of students’ vocabulary mastery by using digital storytelling and dictionary in experiemental group is greater than using song in control group.
