This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of differentiated instruction on students’ achievement in Plane Trigonometry. It tried to determine the pretest and posttest performance of experimental and control groups, the difference on scores of students in the pretest and in the posttest, and the difference from pretest to posttest scores in the two groups of students. The quasi-experimental design was used in the study. Two intact class of first year college students enrolled in Plane Trigonometry in School Year 2017-2018 were purposively sampled and used for the study. One class was randomly assigned to experimental group while the other served as the control group. Instructions were made using flexible groupings and varied formats (cooperative learning, individual or group projects, and whole-class discussion) with various strategies such as agenda, compacting, cubing, vocabulary choice boards, tier assignment, think-tac-toe, and RAFT activity. The students explored, collaborated, worked in pairs or groups in different activities. Data were tabulated and analyzed using frequency counts, percentages, and t-test for independent samples with the aid of the statistical package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The findings revealed that the experimental group and control groups showed significant improvement in students’ performance in plane trigonometry.  However, the score suggested that the improvement of the scores under the experimental group was defined and noticeable. Generally, the results revealed that students who were taught differentiated instruction performed better than those taught using the conventional instructional approach.

Psychological capital as a positive psychological characteristic that reflected through several components such self-efficacy, hope, optimism, and resilience is important to adjust the changes that experienced by freshmen in a college. Storytelling is a form of communication that allows the listener to fully immerse in the content of the story and experience the emotions felt by the characters. This study aims to determine the effect of storytelling activities use “I’m a Superhero” module to increase students’ psychological capital. Quasi-experimental methods were used in the study that involving 127 first-year college students. The subjects of this study divided into two groups, 56 for the experimental group and 71 for the control group. The interventions were done for 22 days divided into six sessions and described in "I'm a Superhero" module. The analysis results using an independent sample t-test showed that there was a difference between experiment and control groups (t(125) = 5.176; p < .01). It shows that the storytelling activity is the potential to be an alternative media to increasing students' psychological capital so that the freshmen more independent and quickly adjust to change.

This study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of the use of the systemic approach to improve students’ understanding on adjectives materials related to the use, usage, synonym, antonym, spelling, pronunciation, collocation, meaning, and order. This research employed a quasi-experimental design. The populations were the third-semester students of Muhammadiyah University of Makassar in academic year 2017/2018. The sample consisted of 40 students chosen from two classes by using purposive sampling technique then were divided into two groups, namely experimental and control group. The difference between experimental and control class was based on the teaching technique used during the treatment. While the experimental class was taught by using systemic approach, control class was taught by using the conventional method.The instruments of this research were adjective tests. The data was analyzed by using statistical analysis on SPSS for Windows 20.0 program. As per data, experimental group experienced improvement on their understanding on adjectives in terms of use, usage, meaning, spelling, pronunciation, synonym, antonym, collocation, and order indicated by the post-test mean score (77.1) which was significantly higher than that of the control class (59.7) and the gain of experimental group (31.2) which was higher than control group (17.4). Another supporting indicator is the t-test value which was higher than the t-table value (4.022 > 1.75). Furthermore, the researcher found that the element of adjective which experienced most significant increase on its mastery happened on the usage, while the lowest one was the collocation. The result of this research indicated that there was significant improvement between experimental and control class. It means that systemic approach that was applied in experimental group can improve the students’ mastery on adjectives material. Thus it was concluded that the systemic approach was effective to improve students’ on adjectives.

This study was to examine the effects of acupressure on fatigue and depression in HCC patients undergoing TACE. A quasiexperimental study design was used. Patients were evaluated at five time points: before treatment (T1) and 2, 3, 4, and 5 days after treating TACE (T2, T3, T4, and T5). Fatigue and depression were assessed by a VAS fatigue scale and a VAS depression scale at each time point. TFRS and BDI were administered at T1 and T5. Patients’ fatigue and depression were significantly higher at T5 than at T1 in two groups. Fatigue and depression increased in both the experimental and control groups’ patients over the five days of hospitalization during which TACE and chemotherapy were administered. The experimental group had significantly less fatigue than the control group, with lower subscale scores on physical, psychosocial, daily, and overall fatigue. There were no differences between the groups on depression. At posttest, the experimental group experienced lower physical, psychosocial, daily, and overall fatigue than the control group. Acupressure can improve fatigue in HCC patients during treatment with TACE but did not alleviate depression. Discharge planning should include home care for management of fatigue and depression.

In this study, we aimed to identify the effect of preoperative information on postoperative anxiety among children undergoing one-day eye surgery. We utilized a nonequivalent control group and a pretest–posttest quasi-experimental design. The participants were 15 children in the experimental group and 15 children in the control group. Preoperative information was provided to the experimental group in the waiting room. Anxiety level was measured using the Children’s Emotional Manifestation Scale and pulse rate. For pulse rate, there were no statistically significant differences between the groups. In the behavioral anxiety response, there were statistically significant differences between the experimental and control groups (Z = −4.15, p < 0.001). The results suggest that the provision of preoperative information can be an effective intervention for reducing postoperative anxiety and improving the health of children undergoing surgery.
