Children's gardens have recently been shown to increase life skills. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects that gardening/plant activities from the Junior Master Gardener curriculum, Literature in the Garden, have on children's life skills. The life skills examined were leadership, teamwork, self-understanding, decision-making skills, and communication skills. About 130 third-grade students from a Lee County, AL, school participated in the study. Students were equally divided into control and experimental groups, and each student was given the youth life skills inventory (YLSI) as a pre- and posttest. The experimental group participated in eight gardening/plant activities after the pretest, whereas the control group did not complete the activities. No significant differences were found between pretests and posttests for teamwork, self-understanding, decision making, communication, and overall life skills. Significant decreases from pretest to posttest were found on leadership skills for the experimental group. Several trends were observed with students who read more for fun, read more each week, and read more garden books generally increasing in life skills.

(60) students were divided into two groups, one experimental and the other controlling. The 30-student experimental group was taught using the Full Blast book, while the control group (30) was taught in the traditional way. The post-test was applied to both groups (experimental and control) , Such as T test, to calculate the parity between the two groups, and compare them. The study found that there were statistically significant differences between the average scores of the control group (the students who studied the traditional method) and the experimental group scores (students who studied using the interactive book) at the levels of understanding, remembering, evaluation, analysis and application.

Visual literacy is at the forefront together with graphic literacy. The aim of this study was to improve the graphic literacy of 7th grade students of middle school with Graphic literacy activities. In the study, pre-test-post-test control group research model was used from the quasi-experimental research models. In 2015-2016 academic year, study was conducted on the students in the central school in Yunak, Konya. A total of 45 students were surveyed, consisting of 21 students in the experimental group and 24 students in control groups. While the control group learns as the curriculum requires, in the experimental group students continued to use the graphic literacy activities besides the courses. A study was conducted by a researcher for a total of 8 weeks. It is seen that the relationship between decision making skills and concept learning in this study, which is made by using graphical literacy activities, is in a positive direction.Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. Özetİçinde bulunduğumuz dönem bilginin giderek arttığı ve önem kazandığı bir devirdir.

Strong Programme

Summary Risk sexual behaviours are known as a threat to health and wellbeing of adolescents. Although there are standard sexual education curriculums in Thai schools, most schools use traditional teaching methods rather than participatory teaching activities. This study aimed to (i) develop ‘Teen-Strong’ programme by combining the concept of the World Health Organization’s life skills programme with Thai sexual education curriculum and (ii) investigate the association of Teen-Strong programme with knowledge and decision-making regarding risky sexual behaviours and teenage pregnancy in Thai adolescents. The Teen-Strong programme was developed by means of experts review and cognitive interviewing process and evaluated in 66 adolescents in Grades 7–9 from six schools in southern Thailand. Twenty-six students were assigned to the experimental group (attended Teen-Strong programme and standard sexual education) and 40 to the control group (attended only the standard sexual education). A pre–post-test quasi-experimental design was used and the Teen-Strong questionnaire (TSQ) was administered to measure knowledge and decision-making at three time points: before (T1), immediately after (T2) and 1 month after (T3) attending the programme. A 2 × 3 mixed-design ANOVA was used to analyse the data. TSQ scores in the experimental and control groups were higher at T2 and T3 as compared with T1. Mean increase in TSQ scores at T2 and T3 compared with T1 were significantly higher in the experiment than the control group [T2 vs. T1: t (64) = 4.07, p-values < 0.0001; T3 vs. T1: t (64) = 3.32, p-values = 0.017]. This study showed that Teen-Strong programme could increase adolescent’s knowledge and decision-making skills regarding risk sexual behaviours.

The research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of using mental Computation on developing some number sense skills in mathematics among third-grade primary students. The study followed the semi-experimental approach, The research sample consisted of (60) students male and female, who were distributed among two groups: the control group (30) students male and female and the experimental group (30) students male and female. The control group studied in the traditional way; the experimental group studied by using the computation strategies. The research's tools consisted of a 20-item number sense in a multiple format. The psychological properties of the test were verified, and appropriate statistical treatments were used to answer the research questions, The findings showed that the experimental group was superior over the control group with an arithmetic mean of (16.262) Whereas, the control group obtained an arithmetic mean of (12.771), and based on the results, the researcher recommended integrating mental Computation strategies into the developed mathematics curricula.
