One of the topics students have understanding difficulties in science is pressure. The study investigates the effectiveness of an active-learning environment on the students' understanding of the concept of pressure. The sample consisted of 30 students from a public secondary school in Turkey. This study used a pre-test, post-test, quasi-experimental research design with a control group. Ten lessons were conducted with both groups. The control group was taught using the coursebook's two activities, while the experimental group was taught using additional activities and models. After the treatment, a post-test was given to both groups to determine the active-learning environment's effectiveness on the students' understanding of the concept of pressure. Interviews were also conducted with the experimental group. The post-test results showed a significant difference in favor of the experimental group. It was determined that students in both groups had misunderstandings of the topic before and after instruction. The interviews showed that the experimental group students perceive that the active learning environment facilitated better and easier learning. The conclusion that can be drawn is that the active learning environment was more effective for the students in the experimental group to learn about the concept of pressure.

The science learning process is still predominantly centered on the teacher, the methods and learning models are less varied. In teaching science concepts, it is only obtained from the teacher so that students' insight and activity are lacking. This makes the student bored, passive, and less active so that the learning seem monotonous. The aim of research to determine the effect of the jigsaw model of student learning activities in science lessons. The method used is the experimental method, namely the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group used jigsaw cooperative learning for grade IVA students at SDN 12 Entikong and control class for conventional learning for grade IVB students at SDN 12 Entikong. Based on the research results there is an influence on jigsaw cooperative learning. It is known that the value is 3.063 3,063 tcount > ttabel 1,063 and the average analysis is below 0,866 and the average is 4,225, so that the difference in the average score is 2,545. So it can be concluded that there is an influence on the application of the jigsaw cooperative learning model on the learning activities of fourth grade students of SDN 12 Entikong.

Bullying behavior is an act that violates the strength and power that is hurting someone who is weaker verbally, physically, or psychologically so that the victim feels under pressure and tends to be helpless. Factors that influence the occurrence of bullying behavior are the influence of the school environment, peer groups, social environmental conditions and television shows and social media. So that efforts are needed to prevent bullying behavior among students. One way that can be done to prevent bullying behavior among students is to provide group guidance services using the Gestalt approach with projection techniques. This study aims to test the effectiveness of group guidance services using the Gestalt approach with projection techniques in preventing bullying among students. The findings of this study are: (1) there is a significant difference in bullying behavior in the experimental group before and after attending group guidance services using the Gestalt approach with projection techniques (2) there is a significant difference in bullying behavior in the control group before and after being given group guidance services on bullying behavior without special treatment, (3) There are differences in the bullying behavior of experimental group students who are treated with group guidance services using the Gestalt approach with projection techniques with the control group who are given group guidance services about bullying behavior without special treatment, this can be seen in the posttest average score of the experimental group dropped higher than the mean posttest score of the control group.

This research was designed to find out the effects of vocabulary analogy to reading comprehension of seventh grade students of State Junior High School 9, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Specifically it sought to answer the following questions: 1) How is the effects in reading comprehension of the students taught with  Vocabulary  Analogy  or  without  vocabulary  analogy?  2)  Is  there  a significant difference in the reading comprehension between the control and experimental groups based on the pre-test and post-test results? A test was conducted for control and experimental groups before and after the treatment process. T-test was computed to reveal whether there was a significant  difference in  the pre-test  and post-test results of the control and experimental groups. Findings of the research were: 1) The use of vocabulary analogy improved students’ reading comprehension 2) The computed T value based from the results of pre-test in the control and experimental groups is 0.130,  lower  than  T  tabular  value  of  1.996.  This  result  accepts  the  null hypothesis that there is no significant difference in the results of pre-test of control and experimental groups. Moreover, treatments were given to control and experimental groups after the pre-test, control group was taught without vocabulary analogy and experimental group was taught with vocabulary analogy before the post-test for each group. The computed T value in the post-test of the control and experimental groups is 11.15, higher than T tabular value of 1.996 at5% level significance. This result rejects the null hypothesis that there is no significant difference in the results of pre-test and post-test of control and experimental groups. Based on findings, the following conclusions were drawn: 1) The use of vocabulary  analogy  had  significantly  influenced  students’  reading comprehension particularly of the experimental group 2) There is significant difference in the post-test results of the control and experimental groups. Null hypothesis was rejected since the computed T value was higher than the T tabular value.
