This study aimed to investigate the impact of an educational program based on brain-based learning in improving the creative thinking and academic achievement in the social studies and civics education among the third basic grade students in Jordan. The researcher adopted the semi-experimental method, and the study sample consisted of 50 third grade students of Omar Ibn Al-Khattab basic public school for Boys. The sample was purposive sample and then was assigned randomly into two the experimental and control groups. The experimental group which was provided the developed study unit consisted of 25 students, and similarly, the control group, which was presented the regular method. The study results showed statistically significant differences (=.05) in creative thinking skills: fluency, flexibility and authenticity, as well as academic achievement in the social studies and civic education among the third-graders in favor of the experimental group. The difference may be attributed to the brain-based education program.

Positive education takes the study of happiness and wellbeing to inspire and help learners, schools and societies to progress. This study investigated the significant differences in the means of the pretest and posttest of students’ academic achievement and their life satisfaction in Mathematics. The relationship of students’ academic achievement and their life satisfaction in Mathematics was also measured. A total of one hundred twenty students (60 in the experimental group and 60 in the control group) from the two secondary schools in Maguindanao, Philippines living in a hostile environment were chosen and involved in the study. Results showed that there is a significant difference in the means of the pretest and posttest results of academic achievement of students in Mathematics both in the control and experimental group. The means of the pretest and posttest results of students’ life satisfaction in Mathematic were only significant in the experimental group of one school. Furthermore, there is no significant relationship between the academic achievement of students and their life satisfaction in Mathematics. The practical implication of the findings suggests that positive education intervention is also an effective strategy  to improve academic achievement. Life satisfaction on the other hand is subjective and perceived differently by the learners.

The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of using social communication networks in teaching geography to develop academic achievement and self-efficacy of college of education students. For achieving that, the researcher prepared a teaching guide, a test in academic achievement and a scale of self-efficacy in teaching. The study sample was (86) students, divided into two groups; the experimental group was (42) students and the control group was (44) students. The pre – test was conducted on both groups; experimental and control. The experimental group studied the course using social networks (Facebook) where the control group studied the course using the traditional method. Then, the post – test was conducted on both groups. The study results showed significant statistical differences between mean scores of the experimental group students and that of the control group students on the post test of the academic achievement test and the scale of self-efficacy in teaching in favor of the experimental group students. This suggests the effectiveness of using social communication networks in teaching geography to develop academic achievement and selfefficacy of college of education students.

The objective of the current research is to measure the impact of e-Assessment Tools used in the Blackboard system in academic achievement and motivation towards learning among pre service kindergarten female teachers in Turaif. To achieve this objective, the researcher used the descriptive approach which is suitable for measuring this objective, where an electronic questionnaire was designed using Google forms for easy access to the largest number of pre service kindergarten female teachers in Turaif to answer the questionnaire questions. The questionnaire consisted of three axes, namely the use of the Blackboard system in promotion of academic achievement. The axis of obstacles to the use of the Blackboard system, and the third axis deal with motivation of students towards learning using the Blackboard system. The sample of the research consisted of (407) pre service kindergarten female teachers, Turaif, of different study levels and scientific and literary disciplines, where the study results showed the effectiveness of the Blackboard system in the academic achievement and motivation towards learning among students.

This research was started by the lowerness of students’ mathematical reasoning ability at VII grade of SMPN 1 Kerinci. That’s obtained from the student’s semester examination result then according to the experience, observation and interview results with the junior high school mathematic teachers. The aim of this research is to analyze the effect of Problem Based Instruction (PBI) Model through student’s reasioning ability at VII grade of SMPN 1 Kerinci. This research is using quasy experiment method with Randomized Group Control Only Design. The population is all of seventh grade students in SMPN 1 Kerinci. This research is using Random Sampling Technique that students at VII-C grade as experimental group and VII-A grade as control group. The research instruments in this study is mathematical reasoning ability test to obtain students mathematical reasoning ability. The data is not have normal distribution so that we used Mann Whitney-U test with SPSS helped, obtained Sig (1-tailed). value = 0,000 α = 0,05 so that rejected H0. According to the analyzed of the data, the conclusion obtained that student’s mathematical reasoning ability who learn with using PBI Model is better than using conventional learning.

Caring for the persons with first episode psychosis is challenging and demanding. It may lead to the increased burden, expressed emotions among the caregivers. The numerous studies have shown that high burden and negative expressed emotions among caregivers can lead to early relapse in the patients with first episode psychosis. To evaluate the effects of the brief psychoeducation on the caregivers burden and expressed emotions. A quasi experimental - before and after with control group research design was adopted for the study. A total of 60 caregivers have participated in the study, of which 30 caregivers in experimental group and 30 caregivers in the control group. Family Burden Interview Schedule (Pai and Kapoor, 1981) and Attitude Questionnaire (Sethi et al., 1981) was used to assess caregiver's burden and expressed emotions. At end of the psychoeducation intervention, burden among caregivers and negative expressed emotions of the caregivers have significantly reduced. The positive expressed emotions have been increased. Study results demonstrates the importance of psychoeducation intervention in reducing the burden and negative expressed emotions.

BACKGROUND: People with disabilities are one of the most marginalized groups in society, and having a disability significantly increases the likelihood of unemployment or underemployment. The reluctance to hire individuals with disabilities is significantly influenced by the longstanding, negative stereotypes of people with disabilities. OBJECTIVE: To better understand employers’ negative attitudes toward individuals with disabilities, assessment tools must properly capture factors contributing to this stigma. METHODS: The Employers’ Stigmatizing Attitudes toward People with Disabilities Scale (ESATPD) was validated in the current study. RESULTS: Results of the exploratory factor analysis indicate a strong, unidimensional structure of the scale accounting for 47.14% of the total variance with a sample. The single ESATPD factor was labeled employment stigma. In addition, higher levels of employers’ stigma were related to negative attitudes toward disability, decreased support of recruitment efforts, as well as decreased intentions of hiring people with disabilities. CONCLUSION: Results support the implementation of tailored interventions directed at specific areas of concern for employers and employees in hiring positions.
