The evolution of virtual worlds in education has provided the creation of new pedagogical alternatives. In the present study, we explore this potential, integrating the Bloom’s Mastery Learning theory, designing a teaching method based on periodical assessments, and supplementary, support offered through the use of an OpenSim virtual world. An experiment was carried out during half of the school year of 2017, involving 74 sixth grade students in a Science class, divided in control and experimental groups. The results demonstrated better performance of the group using the virtual world in comparison to the group using the Moodle learning platform, in which, the post-test presented a slightly higher median for Group 2 (84.50) compared to Group 1 (83.00). As for the student’s impressions, it was in general of acceptance and positive impressions about the experience.

Virtual worlds became an appealing and fascinating component of today's internet. In particular, the number of educational providers that see a potential for E-Learning in such new platforms increases. Unfortunately, most of the environments and processes implemented up to now do not exceed a virtual modelling of real-world scenarios. In particular, this paper shows that Second Life can be more than just another learning platform. A flexible and bidirectional link between the reality and the virtual world enables synchronous and seamless interaction between users and devices across both worlds. The primary advantages of this interconnection are a spatial extension of face-to-face and online learning scenarios and a closer relationship between virtual learners and the real world.

The ability to write a research article is one of students’ obligation that must be mastered because final year university students are always faced to the final project especially writing an article to be published in national journal as one of the requirement to pass or graduate from the campus where she/he lectures. This research aims to identify the errors of using tenses in students’ articles. This research used the method of qualitative descriptive with test – pre-test and post-test as an instrument. Pre-test was done to measure how students understand the tenses with the functions while post-test was done after the result of pre-test needed to continue to the treatment in order to have a high good writing quality. After treatment was conducted, two groups still left three errors consisting of 33 from group 1 and 44 from group 3, and three groups left two errors consisting of 46 from group 2, 29 from group 4, and 15 from group five. From the result of post-test can be decided that peer teaching method is very effective to overcome students’ problem especially in understanding or mastering the use of tense in a research article. Keywords:  Peer Teaching, Tenses, Scientific Paper

The study aimed to examine the effectiveness of using the overlapping waves strategy during the teaching of geography lessons in acquiring realistic thinking skills and improving the attitudes towards geography in a sample of sixth grade students in Jordan using the quasi-experimental method. The purposive method was used to select the study sample (n = 64) students, who were randomly assigned either to the experimental group (n = 32), taught geography lessons with the overlapping waves strategy method, or the control group (n = 32), taught  geography lessons with the usual method. The Realistic Thinking Skills Test (RTT) was prepared with its three dimensions, as well as the attitudes towards Geography Scale (AGS). After verifying their validity and validity, the two instruments were applied to the sample as pre post intervention. The results of the statistical analysis indicated that there were statistically significant differences at (α = 0.05) in the post test between the mean of the experimental group and the control group scores on the Realistic Thinking Skills Scale (RTS) and the Attitudes towards Geography Scale (AGS) in favor of the experimental group, indicating the efficiency of using the overlapping waves strategy used in the current study in geography teaching.

“It's Friday! Will we play Football today?” “May I call the coin?” These and similar questions are the first greetings that I get from my sixthgrade students every Friday all through the school year. For several years I have been playing “Football” with my sixth-grade students almost every Friday of the school year. “Football” is a game that I have used with my classes for general review, for review of recently taught topics, or for introduction of new material. “Football” is a vehicle for class-size instruction and the nature of the game contributes to participation by aU students.
