Emotion regulation is the fourth component of emotional intelligence theory introduced by Salovey and Mayer (1990). It has received much interest in recent years due to its significant effect on life qualities such as mental health, social relationship, academic achievement and work performance. However, there were not enough empirical studies to examine whether the training of emotional intelligence can improve emotion regulation skills. This paper describes a quasi-experimental study aimed at answering the question, „Does training in emotional intelligence create more emotionally intelligent behavior, particularly emotion regulation?‟ Emotional intelligent behavior was measured by responses to a written test (FEIS-41) in twice, before and after the training course. The subject participants were 60 and divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received an emotional intelligence training course, while the control group did not. The training course had six sessions, held once per week for two and a half hours. The results showed that the level of emotion regulation improved in the experimental group after the emotional intelligence training.

The aim of the research was to investigate the effectiveness of a computer based on photoshop in design and decoration and its impact on emotional intelligence among children in the age group (11-17 years). To achieve the research objectives, the researchers chose the quasi-experimental design with equal groups, the control group and the experimental group. The sample size was (44) students, (14) males and (30) females, who were chosen by random stratification method from the middle and high school levels in Jazan region in the age group (11-17). They were distributed into two equal groups (22) students for each of the control and experimental group. The researchers used the Bar-On scale for emotional intelligence in addition to the training program. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) program was used for analyzing data. The two-tailed T-Test was chosen to detect the differences between the binary groups and the univariate analysis. Variation: to detect differences between the interaction groups and the post-LSD test to determine the direction of the differences between groups of variable interaction (group x application). The research reached the following results: there are statistically significant differences in the average scores of children of age (11-17 years) on the emotional intelligence scale pre and post the application of the program, and there are statistically significant differences in the average performance of the experimental group on the emotional intelligence scale due to gender, and there are significant differences statistical differences in the average performance of the experimental group on the emotional intelligence scale due to age, and there are statistically significant differences in the average scores of 11-17 year old children on the emotional intelligence scale between the groups of variables of program application and type of education.

AbstractPrevious studies have shown that emotional intelligence (henceforth, EI) has a significant impact on important life outcomes (e.g., mental and physical health, academic achievement, work performance, and social relationships). This study aimed to see whether there is any relationship between EI and English as a foreign language (EFL) learners’ oral fluency and investigated the possibility of enhancing EI through computer-mediated emotional activities. The participants were 63 students on the Interchange 2 course in a language center in Iran. Participants in the experimental group received EI training using movies with highly emotional content, with the express purpose of inducing them to talk about their emotions and raising their emotional intelligence. Movies shown to the control group did not place any emphasis on emotional content. The results showed a significant increase in EI scores in the experimental group, but no significant change was observed in the control group’s EI scores. Moreover, emotional intelligence correlated positively with the students’ levels of oral fluency.

Purpose: This study was conducted to develop and implement an education program based on the Whole Brain Model for novice nurses, and to evaluate its effects on work performance, interpersonal skills and self-efficacy. Methods: A pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design was used with an experimental group (n=20) and a control group (n=21). The experimental group participated in an education program based on the Whole Brain Model for seven sessions over 4 weeks. An independent t-test, χ2-test, and Mann-Whitney U test were performed to analyze the data. Results: There were statistically significant differences in work performance (p=.015), interpersonal skills (p=.014) and self-efficacy (p=.021) between the experimental and the control group. Conclusion: This program was an effective learning strategy to enhance nursing competence for novice nurses. The novice nurses who participated this program were able to reflect deeply on themselves, improve interpersonal skills, and induce whole-brain integrated thinking in learning how to solve the problems caused by changes in patient conditions that can be experienced in clinical practice. Therefore, this program can be recommended for regular continuing education for novice nurses.

Purpose : Most studies on the sport education model (SEM) have focused on curriculum content and assessed students’ learning outcomes on the basis of teaching units and items. In contrast to the SEM, direct instruction (DI) emphasizes the learning of each unit and involves a shorter learning period. Few empirical studies have explored the moderating effect of elective motivation on the relationship between the SEM and low student performance in PE. Material : The present study employed a nonequivalent pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design with an experimental group, which received education under the SEM, and a control group, which received DI. The experiment was conducted in a university in Taiwan, with 115 students from two badminton classes selected as participants. Results : The results revealed that when the SEM was employed in physical education (PE), students’ elective motivation toward PE courses improved significantly and was significantly higher than that of students receiving DI. The SEM also effectively increased the elective motivation of low-performing students. Conclusions : Students can experience success in a teamwork setting, avoid a sense of loss and helplessness commonly experienced during individual competition-based learning, and change their elective motivation toward PE courses.

This study investigated the potential effect of a graphic organizers-based instructional program on Saudi EFL students’ critical reading skills. To this end, the researcher followed a quasi-experimental design. The sample of the study included 43 freshmen Saudi male students attending the Technology College of Al-Jouf. To carry out this study, the sample was divided into two groups. The first group, which consisted of 21 students, were assigned as the experimental group, while the second group, which consisted of 22 students, were assigned as the control group. The experimental group received treatment through a graphic organizers-based instructional program (i.e., Venn diagram, KWL chart, fishbone, concept mapping, and circle map) for eight weeks, whereas the control was taught using the more conventional method (i.e., using the teacher’s book). To collect the data, the researcher used a validated tool, viz. a pre- and post-tests which evaluate critical reading skills. The findings showed that the graphic organizers’ strategies contributed significantly towards the development of students’ critical reading skills. Based on these findings, the researchers recommended that EFL teachers should take graphic organizers into consideration when teaching reading skills. Further empirical studies on the effects that graphic organizers have on the critical reading skills of other levels of student in other regions of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are advised.
