Background: Traditionally, learning by and teaching for primary healthcare (PHC) nurses use didactic, teacher-centred approaches. Hence, the feasibility of interactive workshops in non-threatening PHC environments to refresh nurses’ knowledge on patient care needs exploring.Aim: To describe interactive workshops as a learning and teaching method for PHC nurses.Setting: Primary healthcare clinics.Methods: Systematic literature search followed by an exploratory experimental pre or post-test control group design. Random clinic sampling (n = 26) led to clinic inclusion at the control (n = 5) and experimental (n = 5) sites. Nurses (n = 42) were conveniently selected for the control (n = 21) and experimental (n = 21) groups. Experimental participants (n = 21) attended interactive workshops (n = 5) where various strategies were applied, whilst addressing key diabetes messages. Both groups completed a questionnaire aligned to diabetes messages pre- and post-workshop. Additionally, a Likert scale questionnaire was posed to the experimental group post-workshop. Data was analysed statistically and presented as descriptive statistics, frequencies and percentages.Results: Articles reviewed (n = 20) identified types of interactive activities, role players, learning content covered, feasibility and duration of the interactive workshops. Pre or post-testing results of the workshops participants indicate improved knowledge related to peripheral sensation (0.03) and ( 0.01). Results from the questionnaire revealed participants’ satisfaction with the interactive workshops.Conclusion: Interactive workshops as a learning and teaching method could lead to change in knowledge, and participant satisfaction. However, using a combination of interactive workshops and other teaching modalities may enhance learning and teaching further.Contribution: Interactive workshops are a feasible instructional method during refresher courses for healthcare providers.

In learning English, the students often make some problems while building a recount text. One of the problems causing it is that the teacher might use the old teaching method. This research aimed to observe the effect of grammar-focused writing instruction on the tenth-grade students' writing recount text at one of the Senior High School State at Kabupaten Tangerang. The research method used in this research was a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design by using a non-equivalent control group design. The population of this research was 460 tenth grade students. The sample of this research was taken from two classes that were chosen by using Simple Random Sampling. There were X IPS 4 as the controlled class and X IPS 5 as the experimental class. The normality test result showed that the data is normally distributed, and the homogeneity test result showed that the variants belong to a homogeneous population. The analysis results of post-test by using t-test (The Pooled Variance Model T-test) were obtained data that t-count = 4,37 and t-table = 1,99 with significant level ɑ = 5% or 0,05. From the post-test calculation result, H0 is rejected, and H1 is accepted. It can be concluded that there is a significant effect of students’ writing recount text between students in the experimental class who were taught by using grammar-focused writing instruction and students in the controlled class who were taught by using the conventional method.

The problems of the study  can be formulated as follows (1) How effective is peer assessment technique applied to students with low and high grammar ability in writing descriptive text?, (2) How effective is teacher assessment technique applied to students with high and low grammar ability in writing descriptive text, (3) Is there any significant interaction among grammar ability, peer assessment technique and writing ability. The research design employed in this study was Experimental Design (factorial design) consisting of a pre test, and post test for control group design and Experiment group. This research involved three variables which consisted of dependent variable (writing ability), independent variable (Peer Assessment Technique) and Grammar ability as moderator. This study found that peer assessment technique can be used to give practice in writing as well as in conducting this technique for teaching writing because it had given effect to the student writing descriptive text. It can be proven from the students’ score. Through this technique, the students could develop and improve their skill either in writing, grammar or vocabulary. They also became responsible to asses their friend’s work and increased their motivation. So, this technique of peer assessment should be used to improve English writing and grammar skill and an English teacher must improve his knowledge in English teaching method so the goal of teaching is gained.
