This research highlights the speaking ability of the students which categorized in tenth year students of SMA Negeri 3 Parepare . The students were taught through role play method to know the improvement of the students speaking ability. The data collected in 2012 by applying quasi-experimental method, with two group pre-test and post-test design. The samples were taken of the research were consisted of 43 students from two classes taken from the population. The result of the data analysis shows that the students’ speaking mastery improved significantly. It was showed by the mean score of pre-test was 49.34 and the post-test was 71.304. It shows that the use of role play method can improve the students’ speaking ability of the tenth year students of SMA Negeri 3 Parepare significantly. Besides the different score of pre-test and post-test, the mean score of the students in post-test was 71.304 is higher than the Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal (70) in SMA Negeri 3 Parepare. After analyzing the data by using the test formula, the result of t-test value in post-test was 1.868 and t-table value was 1.684. It means that the t-test value (1.868) was higher than t-table value (1.684). Those indicate that H1 was accepted and H0was rejected and the students who were taught through role play method are better than the students who were taught through conventional method.This research highlights the speaking ability of the students which categorized in tenth year students of SMA Negeri 3 Parepare .

Writing is a complex activity that requires the automation of graphomotor skills. Unfortunately, 10 to 30% of primary school students have difficulty at this level, which impairs the development of writing skills. It therefore seems judicious to intervene in kindergarten to support motor precision as well as visuomotor capacities, considered as prerequisites for writing by many researchers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of motor training on visuomotor integration, motor precision and handwriting performance (speed and readability) in 5-year-old children. According to a quasi-experimental design (pretest, post-test with control group), 34 children participated in an intervention in subgroups, twice a week for 6 weeks. The mean and standard deviation were calculated for each of the tasks performed. Statistical tests (t test) were then carried out. The results show that the children in the experimental group improved their motor precision as well as their graphomotor skills compared to those in the control group. This project provides new insights into the benefits of working on basic skills in preparation for learning to write and will equip teachers on how to guide and support graphomotor skills before entering first grade.

This study was aimed at investigating the effectiveness of an English song entitled ‘Because You Loved Me’ to teach past simple. Past simple itself is oneof the necessary yet problematic tenses for learners. The research employed was quasi-experimental pretest-post-test design was employed in this research. Thepopulation of this study was five classes of the first grade students of senior highschool. Due to the high number of the population, this research only used twoclasses as the sampling - one class as the experimental group and the other oneas the control group. This research was carried out through four stages namelypretest, treatment implementation, post-test and data analysis. The result of thedata analysis showed that ‘Because You Loved Me’ song is effective for teachingpast simple. The value of t-test was higher than the t-table. The result of t-test formula was 1.91, and the t-table was 1.67. Overall, English song entitled ‘Because You Loved Me’ is effective to teach past simple and using songs in EFLclassrooms may also provide comfortable and interesting teaching and learningprocess.

Objective: Puberty is the most prominent stage of life. The purpose of this study was to evaluate effects of puberty health education on promoting of its awareness in girls. Methods: In an interventional quasi-experimental study (pre and post test), awareness, attitude and practice of 500 high school first grade student girls evaluated before and after health education in Yazd in 2004- 2005 . Results: Mean age of menarche was 13.46±1.12. Over ninty three percent (93.6%) of girls had a previous information about menstruation where mother was the major source (53%). Good and poor knowledge were seen in 36% and 28.6% respectively but practice was seen in 24.4% and 32.8% respectively. 85.2% of girls believed that menarche is evidence of health, but in 91.6% girl’s menarche was associated with worry and shame. Negative psychological attitude about menstruation was seen in 59.8%. The mean number of knowledge and practice before and after intervention was 5.3±2.9, 11.8±2.18 and 4.3± 1.8 and 10.2 ± 2.3 respectively (PV =0.0001). Conclusion: Educational programs are needed for girls and their mothers to correct misinformation about exercise, food restrictions and good health puberty and menarche.

This research was focusing in the difference of learning outcome, specially on Basic Electrical and Electronic, in first grade at SMKN 5 Padang. The purpose was to reveal the difference of Problem Solving and Problem Posing learning model when they were implemented. By using quasi experimental dengan nonprobability sampling tecnique, was obtained two experiment classes. The first experiment class was X TAV 1E3A, which was implemented Problem Posing learning model. The second experiment class was X TAV 1E3B, which was implemented Problem Solving learning model. The primary data was measured by post test based on basic competence of subject. Based on the t-test, complying the pre-requisite such as normality test, this research found that t>t0 (2,627 > 1,697). However, the result has shown that Problem Posing learning model was providing student’s learning outcome better than Problem Solving. Therefore, the Problem Posing learning model is better implemented than Problem Solving.Keywords: Problem Posing, Problem Solving, Learning Outcome.

This research is a quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test non-equivalent group design. The population in this research is all of the students on class X in SMA Negeri 1 Marga Tiga and the sampling technique is total sampling. Data are collected by documentation and test. Data are analyzed with descriptive statistics to compare the mean scores of N-Gain  obtained by each student.  The results of the analysis shows that (1) the student’s geometry problem solving ability with cooperative learning STAD is higher than the conventional learning, (2) the student’s geometry problem solving ability with wingeom software in cooperative learning STAD is higher than the conventional learning, (3) the student’s geometry problem solving ability with wingeom software in cooperative learning STAD is higher than without using wingeom software. This research shows that the cooperative learning STAD by using the wingeom software has a significant effect on the high school students’ geometry problem-solving ability. The finding of this research shows that the students are still having difficulties in solving the problems, especially when the students have to look back whether the finishing is right or not.
