The aim of this study was to adapt an existing but extremely dated interest questionnaire, the RothwellMiller Interest Blank (RMIB). In the first phase, four provinces were selected purposively: one urban and three rural or semirural. Secondly, a purposeful sample of 518 Grade 11 learners in eight schools was selected (mean age [x] Male = 17.52 years, Female = 17.39 years; standard deviation[s] Male = 0.97 years, female = 0.93), divided according to medium of instruction (Afrikaans/English) and area (urban/rural/semirural area). Statistical analyses included determining of reliability by calculating Cronbach’s α and the split-half reliability. The data was further analysed by means of statistical techniques including t-test, ANOVA and Tukey’s HSD. Results are discussed and the study concludes that although the adapted questionnaire could be a valuable instrument for use in South Africa, further research is required.

Siddha is considered to be one of the oldest medicines with its own benefits. In this modern era, people are more aware towards their health. At many circumstances of illness, people use Siddha medicines to cure their disease. Siddha is preferred for its own specialties. This paper has attempted to reveal the awareness towards Siddha medicines taking 52 respondents from Dharmapuri City. The results were analysed by using various statistical techniques like percentage analysis, chi-square and t test. Siddha focuses on the eight supernatural powers called as ‘Ashtaamahasiddhi’ and those who achieved these powers were known as siddhars. Hence it is called as siddha medicine. The siddhars knowledge was found in palm leaf manuscripts and their fragments were found in some parts of south India.

The formulation of the problem in this research are: (1) How the result of learning mathematics of students after taught by SAVI learning model?, (2) How the result of learning mathematics of students after taught by NHT learning model?, (3) Is the result of learning mathematics of students who taught with SAVI learning model is higher than students taught by NHT learning model. The purpose of this study are: (1) To know how the results of learning mathematics students after teaching with SAVI learning model, (2) To find out how the results of learning mathematics students after being taught with NHT learning model, (3) To determine whether the results of learning mathematics students taught by SAVI learning models higher than students taught by NHT learning models. Type of research using experimental method. The population in this study is all students of class X spread in 11 parallel classes with the number of 310 people. Sampling was done by using cluster random sampling technique. In this research as a sample taken 2 classes from the entire population that is class X A3 as experiment class 1 using SAVI learning model and class X A1 as experiment class 2 using NHT learning model. From result of data analysis obtained that: (1) result of student learning taught by using SAVI learning model which consist of 25 students show minimum value 62, maximum value 96, mean (mean) 80,36, with standard deviation 9,10; (2) student learning outcomes taught using NHT learning model consisting of 25 students showing minimum score 62, maximum value 96, mean (mean) 79,62, with standard deviation 10,512; (3) result of t-test analysis using independent sample t-test obtained tcount = 0,302 at = 0,05 with degrees of freedom (dk) = 48 obtained t table = 2,011. Because t <t table then Ha is rejected and H0 is accepted. So it can be concluded that the mathematics learning outcomes of students who were taught with the SAVI model was not higher than the students taught by the NHT model.

Abstrak Brief Strategic Family Therapy adalah terapi keluarga yang bertujuan untuk menghilangkan atau mengurangi perilaku maladaptif pada anak dengan merestrukturisasi masalah relasi dalam keluarga. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan relasi keluarga anak binaan di Rutan Klas I Bandung yang mengalami disfungsi keluarga, dengan cara meningkatkan komunikasi dan kelekatan diantara anggota  keluarga. Pendekatan ini didasarkan pada asumsi bahwa relasi berbasis keluarga berpengaruh terhadap perilaku anak dan bahwa peningkatan relasi keluarga akan mengurangi masalah perilaku maladaptif. Metode Penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain subyek tunggal dengan model ABA. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan statistik inferensial dilakukan untuk menguji hipotesis dengan uji t atau t-test dan statistik deskriptif dengan menggunakan perbandingan two standard deviation. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan BSFT dapat meningkatkan relasi dalam keluarga, selain itu dapat merubah perilaku maladaptif pada anak yang  berperilaku menentang. Adapun kelemahan dari penerapan BSFT pada saat penelitian, karena dilakukan di dua lokasi yaitu rumah dan rutan, sehingga hasilnya kurang maksimal. Oleh karena itu, penerapan BSFT akan lebih efektif jika dilakukan pada keluarga yang anggotanya berada dalam satu lokasi, sehingga perilaku dan relasi antar angota keluarga dapat diamati dan diukur secara jelas. Kata kunci;  BSFT, meningkatkan relasi keluarga,  menghilangkan perilaku maladaptif.

<p>This study aimed to identify Classroom Instructional Practices of Islamic education teachers<br />at basic stage in AL- Mafraq and to identify the relationship between these practices and<br />gender and experience variables as well as interaction between them. The researcher prepared<br />a scale which its reliability and validity were checked to measure the level of classroom<br />instructional practices. The sample of study which consisted of (64) teachers (male and<br />female) was chosen randomly.<br />Data were collected and analyzed statistically using means, standard deviation, t-test and<br />Tuky test. Results revealed that the classroom studying practices of Islamic education<br />teachers in basic stage in AL- Mafraq agreed with acceptable educational and social standard<br />(80%), whereas the percentage of the classroom instructional practices was (81-89%). The<br />results also revealed lack of statistical significant differences in the classroom instructional<br />practices of Islamic education teachers in the basic stage in AL- Mafraq due to the gender<br />variable but there were statistical significant differences at (0,05=OC) in classroom<br />instructional practices due to experience variable in favor of respondents with experiences ( 4<br />years and less) and 10 years and more).Additionally, there were no statistical significant<br />differences in the classroom instructional practices of Islamic education teachers due to<br />interaction between gender and experience variable. The researcher recommended conducting<br />further studies with different variables.</p>

The self-concepts of 10 5-yr.-old girls enrolled in a preballet program at a ballet school in Tulsa, Oklahoma for over one year were measured using the Purdue Self-concept Scale for Preschool Children. Their scores were compared against the scale's normative data for girls of similar age. A one-sample two-tailed t test showed girls' mean was 1 standard deviation above the normative population's mean, a significant difference. Preballet education may be an effective tool for enhancing self-concept, although selective factors may contribute also.

This study aims to find out to what extent cognitive component is considered in the translation courses at the English Departments at two faculties of Arts at Taiz University, namely Faculty of Arts, main campus and Faculty of Arts, Turba branch. The cognitive component was selected because it plays a vital role in the development of psychophysiological competence of the translator. The sample of the study consisted of all fourth level students at the two faculties for the academic year 2018/2019. The total number of students participating in the study was 203 students. The study mainly used descriptive quantitative methods. The results of the study showed that the level of application of the cognitive component in translation courses is generally lower than the average or hypothetical mean of the scale (165). The average score of the research sample was (80.3645) with a standard deviation of (26.29714), a t-test value of (-45.856) and a level of Significance of (000.) That is, the application of the cognitive component in the current translation courses is very low and almost non-existent. The study recommended that further studies need to be conducted with a view to finding out to what extent cognitive elements in particular and other psycho-physiological aspects in general are considered in the current translation and interpreting programmes. The study has also recommended that certain activities that can enhance the psycho-physiological components of translators/interpreters should be designed and utilized in the translation/interpreting classroom.
