The students' life being complicated and at the same time competitive trying hard to remain alive in this competitive world and trying to solve many complicated problems in academics through the competitive mind ultimately takes a roll and the mind becomes unstable and directionless. In the process, the student develops academic anxiety related to academic circumstances, like failure in exams, time constraint; unrealistic expectation. Hence the researcher felt the need to develop peace strategies to lessen the academic anxiety among the engineering and medical learners. The quasi – Experimental pre-test post -test nonequivalent group design was used to evaluate the development of peace education among engineering and medical learners. The Peace modules were designed by the researcher and were implemented on the Experimental group of learners.The Inferential analysis was done by using the independent 't test'.The findings of the study indicated that the peace strategies used were successful.

This study examines the potential effect of mind mapping strategy on developing Jordanian students' writing performance. The researchers claim that mind mapping strategy has the potential to improve Jordanian students' writing performance. The study follows a quasi- experimental design in which an experimental group and a control group were purposefully chosen from eleventh grade students at Al Hashymiah School for Boys, Zarqa in Jordan during the second semester of the academic year 2016/2017. In the experimental group, 20 students were taught by mind mapping strategy and 20 students of control group were taught by the conventional teaching method as outlined in the Teacher’s Book. To collect the data, a pre-test and a post-test was utilized. ANCOVA was used to measure statistical differences in the mean scores of the participants of the study. The findings reveal statistically significant differences (at α≤0.05) between the two mean scores of experimental and control groups in the post- test in favor of experimental group. The study recommends an integration of the mind mapping strategy into the English as a foreign Language (EFL) curriculum in Jordan as it facilitates developing students' writing skill. The study also recommends to examine the effect of using mind mapping strategy on EFL students' achievements in other language skills and sub skills. Teachers are also advised to use the mind mapping strategy to increase students’ interest and motivation to write more often
