The Aim of the study is the peculiarities of coping with stress situations of students of Form 4 during the learning process. In many studies it is emphasised that the learning environment causes strong stress for a large number of children, which in its turn causes behaviour, emotional and mental problems. The present study analyses the most frequent stress situations, how children cope with them and how the types of coping with stress situations impact the learning results.The results of empirical study demonstrate that 52% of children are of the opinion that the causes for disturbances of mental balance are various physical traumas; problems in learning take up the second place, then follow strained relationships with peers and parents and various emotional experiences related to the situation caused by loss and fear.The strategy of adaptive coping has a positive correlation with the learning result. The strategy of passive behaviour has a negative correlation with the learning success. The correlations obtained in the study confirm also the findings made in other studies that if children don’t know how to use the strategies of adaptive behaviour or compensatory skills which help to solve problem situations, they have lower learning results, which can cause various emotional problems.

  Learning media is one of the needs that must be fulfilled in the learning process. The results of the pre-survey of learning media used in the Aliyah Ma'arif 9 Kotagajah Madrasah, researchers found several problems, namely the use of learning media that were less innovative in learning and the limitation of images in teaching books, worksheets and powerpoints so that students were not attracting attention in the learning process . So that learning media are needed that can attract the attention of students such as android applications, android application software assisted ispring suite as an economic learning media arranged concisely, clearly, and made in a practical form so that students are more interested and enthusiastic in learning and can understand the material. The development model used in this development is the ADDIE development model which consists of several stages, namely (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). Based on the results of the development of android applications assisted by software ispring suite as an economic learning media it is known the results of recapitulation of data that have been carried out by learning media material experts on android applications with an average score of 86% included in the very feasible category and declared valid, the results of recapitulation from media experts with scores on average 87% fall into the category of very decent and declared valid. Furthermore, the practicality test by IPS X grade 1 students of Aliyah Ma'arif 9 Kotagajah gets an average score of 92.2% and falls into the very practical category so that it is declared practical. research shows that economic learning media using this android application is suitable for use in learning. Thus it can be concluded that the learning media of android applications are learning media that are valid and practical to be used in the learning process.

Background: The aging population is increasing rapidly; therefore, paying attention to the needs of older people is necessary. Sexual satisfaction, which is needed to feel happy, is often neglected in older women. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the relationship between sexual satisfaction and mental health in older women. Materials and Methods: In this analytical study with a cross-sectional design, 195 married women aged ≥60 years covered by urban and rural health centers of Guilan, Iran were recruited using a cluster sampling method. A demographic form, the 28-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) and a Sexual Satisfaction Questionnaire were completed by participants and collected data were analyzed in SPSS v. 22 software using descriptive statistics (frequency, mean, standard deviation, median), and Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis and Spearman correlation tests. Results: There was a significant relationship between sexual satisfaction and mental health in older women (P<0.0001). 51.2%, 27.7% and 21.08% of participants had low, moderate and high sexual satisfaction, respectively. Sexual satisfaction was directly related to monthly income (P<0.0001) and women’s and their husbands’ education (P<0.0001 and 0.006) while it was inversely related to physical illness (P=0.030), medication use (P=0.009), age (P<0.0001), number of children (P=0.022), and duration of marriage (P<0.0001). The median score of mental health in participants was 38 (ranging 24-53) and the percentage of participants with mental problems (79.4%) was higher than those without mental problems (20.6%). Conclusion: Mental health and sexual satisfaction in older women are directly related to each other; therefore, providing effective and appropriate sexual care programs is recommended for them.

Abstract Introduction Improving the quality of healthcare has proven to be a challenging task despite longstanding efforts. Approaches to improvements that consider the strong influence of local context as well as stakeholders’ differing views on the situation are warranted. Soft systems methodology (SSM) includes contextual and multi-perspectival features. However, the way SSM has been applied and the outcomes of using SSM to stimulate productive change in healthcare have not been sufficiently investigated. Aim This scoping review aimed to examine and map the use and outcomes of SSM in healthcare settings. Method The review was based on Arksey and O’Malley’s framework. We searched six academic databases to January 2019 for peer-reviewed journal articles in English. We also reviewed reference lists of included citations. Articles were included if they were empirical studies focused on the application of SSM in a healthcare setting. Two reviewers conducted the abstract review and one reviewer conducted the full-text review and extracted data on study characteristics, ways of applying SSM and the outcomes of SSM initiatives. Study quality was assessed using Hawker’s Quality Assessment Tool. Result A total of 49 studies were included in the final review. SSM had been used in a range of healthcare settings and for a variety of problem situations. The results revealed an inconsistent use of SSM including departing from Checkland’s original vision, applying different tools and involving stakeholders idiosyncratically. The quality of included studies varied and reporting of how SSM had been applied was sometimes inadequate. SSM had most often been used to understand a problem situation and to suggest potential improvements to the situation but to a lesser extent to implement and evaluate these improvements. Conclusion SSM is flexible and applicable to a range of problem situations in healthcare settings. However, better reporting of how SSM has been applied as well as evaluation of different types of outcomes, including implementation and intervention outcomes, is needed in order to appreciate more fully the utility and contribution of SSM in healthcare.

The main aim of this research is to examine the relationship between the styles of coping with stress and the levels of hopelessness of preschool teachers. Relational survey method was used in this research. The research sample consists of 108 preschool teachers working in preschool education institutions in Küçükçekmece district of Istanbul in the spring term of 2015-2016 and selected by the random sampling method. The Teacher Information Form, Styles of Coping with Stress Scale and Beck Hopelessness Scale were used in the data collection. Data collected for the study were analysed using SPSS 20 program. At the end of the research, it was found out that the most used sytle by preschool teachers to cope with stress is the self-confident approach and the least used style is the submissive approach. As the preference rates of the self-confident approach and optimistic approach in coping with stress of preschool teachers increase, the level of hopelessness decreases; as the preference rates of the helpless approach increase, the levels of hopelessness increase. The styles of coping with stress and the levels of hopelessness of preschool teachers do not vary by age, marital status, professional seniority, the number of children they have, the level of income and the school type that they work in.

The class was inspired by the weather to develop its first picture problem situation. The teacher sketched at the chalk-board in response to children's suggestions and guided them so that basic grade-level number concepts were included. For example, the first cooperative class sketch featured a snowy hill and boys and girls with sleds. All data are not pictured; some are provided as factual information. The sketch (Fig. 1) and some of the resulting number problems were similiar to the following.

In an elementary school classroom, as in real life, the lines between the content areas should be blurred, particularly between mathematical problem solving and mathematical situations contextualized in good literature. For that reason, I always look for interesting books about mathematical situations. Why use children's literature to teach mathematics? A good story often places mathematical problems in the context of familiar situations and is similar to, yet a much more elaborate version of, mathematical word problems. Assertions that children's inability to solve word problems results from their inability to read or to compute effectively simply are not true. The problem is that children do not know how to choose the correct operation or sequence of operations to solve the problem. To solve a problem situation presented in words, children need to be able to connect computational processes with appropriate calculations. Their difficulties lie in the fact that children simply do not understand the mathematics well enough conceptually to make the connection with the problem- solving situation. Using books with authentic problem situations may help children see that learning computation serves a real-life purpose.

Electronic Learning (e-learning) is the process of using the electronic educational shapes of information and courses contents in an inventive way. E-learning is the process of education that offered can be divided into online or distance education, which means that it can deliver education to everyone around the world online through the electronic means such as the internet from different distant countries. In order to promote the e-learning process universities in developing countries such as Iraq, the enhancement of the e-learning success needs to some factors that should be fit with the revolution of technology and enhance the learner’s knowledge. Universities in developing countries such as Iraq, in order to be fit with the rapid growth of technology, it needs to collaborate with other national and international universities to develop e-learning tools and methods. In order to contribute to the success of the e-learning process in universities in Iraq, these universities have to adopt collaboration culture with other universities and innovative culture to follow the global innovation in e-learning process around the world. This paper developed an integrated framework of e-learning through an organizational innovative collaboration environment, analysed it qualitatively through the interviews with students, staff and e-learning centres and found strong relationships between its elements which could participate to improve and add values to the e-learning process in universities in Baghdad.

The purpose of this study is to analyze factors contributing to errors made in learning English as a target language (TL). Employing a case study research, the participant was interviewed for approximately 30 minutes about daily activities and experiences in learning English. This research focuses in analysing the participant‟s use of third singular pronoun in simple present tense. The findings revealed that errors made by TL learners are mainly influenced by some factors related to their TL‟s and native language‟s (NL) knowledge, systems and rules. These factors are coexisted and interconnected in TL learners‟ minds. This is against Robert Lado‟s argument which mentioned that learner made errors in TL learning because of the interference from NL. The study provides pedagogical implications that TL teachers should perceive errors made by the learners as a sign of language learning and development; therefore they should not be discouraged to learn. Also, TL teachers should be aware of their very important roles to help, to guide and to lead the learners‟ progress in learning the TL. The future subsequent studies should consider of involving more sample size over a longer period of time as to obtain to a more generalized finding. Target language (TL) learning is often challenging for learners. This is because of the vast differences between their native language and the TL in terms of rules, forms and knowledge. Some learners find learning fun while others find it frustrating. Learners exert considerable effort to become competent speakers or even to emulate native speakers. For example, they strive for perfect pronunciation. In their efforts to learn the TL, learners usually make errors. Some teachers strongly believe making mistakes is an important part of the learning process and that it enables learners to improve their TL skills. Other teachers perceive errors negatively as obstacles in learning, and therefore believe errors need to be eliminated. These teachers have limited tolerance with learners who make errors. Other teachers might ignore errors, or they simply do not know how to address them. It is widely assumed that errors occur because of the interference of NL and the degree of difference between TL and NL. It appears that learners transfer rules, forms and knowledge of NL to TL. For example, learners in Indonesia might believe that the rules, forms and knowledge of Bahasa Indonesia are similar to English. Some theorists consider errors as a learning process. It demonstrates the mind‟s ability to adapt, transform and restructure NL and TL language systems to a new language system. These theorists also believe that errors are reflections of the learner‟s efforts to comprehend the TL systems and knowledge. In other words, berita terkini indonesia are reflections of a new language system being constructed. This new system combines elements of both the NL and the TL. Therefore, it is strongly argued that TL learners make errors as efforts to construct a new language system which is somehow different from the system of NL and TL and not interference of NL to TL. This paper is intended to analyze factors contributing to errors made in learning English as a foreign language. Key words: errors, interference, interlanguage
