The study aimed at examining the effect of adopting blended learning on Moroccan high school students’ English language proficiency. This has been essentially achieved through relying both on face-to-face classroom interactions and using “Google classroom”, which is a free online learning platform.  The researcher opted for a quasi-experimental design to gauge the impact of implementing a blended learning model on the research sample. This study enlisted the participation of 79 Moroccan first-year Baccalaureate students who were divided into two separate but homogenous groups. The experimental group was taught using the blended learning model, and the control group was tutored in a traditional learning environment. The mean scores’ differences of the pre-test and the post-test asserted that, in comparison to the face-to-face learning, the blended learning model adopted was significantly impactful in improving the language proficiency level of the treatment group. However, no significant gender differences were observed in this regard. In essence, this piece of research has placed much emphasis on the idea that the efficient incorporation of ICT, particularly blended learning, into the learning/teaching process can help satisfy students’ needs, increase their motivation, and eventually enhance their language mastery.

 This research aimed to determine the differences in the improvement of students' physics learning independence through the application of the Team Assisted Individualization (TAI) learning model. This type of research used a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group design. The research sample was determined from the population of class XI IPA students of SMAN 1 Pekanbaru, based on the results of the normality and homogeneity tests of the population. Classes that were declared normal and homogeneous, two classes were randomly selected as the control class (36 students) and the experimental class (36 students). The data collection instrument used a student learning independence questionnaire for pre-test and post-test. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential analysis. The results of the descriptive analysis obtained the independent learning average of the experimental class was 2.71 with the high category and the control class 2.47 with the low category. The results of the inferential analysis show that there are significant differences in student learning independence before and after learning by applying the TAI learning model. Therefore, the use of the TAI learning model can improve the learning independence of class XI IPA students of SMAN 1 Pekanbaru on the material of optical instruments.

<p>Mathematics is important and applies to science, technology, society or the natural sciences. It is applied directly or indirectly. Most students find this to be a very stimulating, complex, and well-understood subject. Maths in high school is extremely important. The study was designed to investigate the impact of students' mathematical representation skills and their attitudes towards GeoGebra. This study was quasi-experimental and carried out on high school students. We have two groups belonging to the same standard class. The control group consisted of 22 students, while the experimental group consisted of 28 participants. The conventional approach was used to teach certain concepts of plane geometry to the students in the control group. On the other hand, the experimental group taught similar teachings using GeoGebra. The results show that students have more skills in mathematical representation using GeoGebra. The semi-empirical test also showed a significant change in students' attitudes between the pre-test and the post-test. Students are more active in mathematical representation skills in GeoGebra.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0967/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
