The aim of the current research is to prepare a guide to develop speaking skills for Arabic language learners of non-native speakers with using a flipped classroom strategy, where it included an introduction and the goal of that guide, and profile of the strategy and implementation steps, and also included three of the speaking skills that necessary to teach Arabic language to non-native speakers it is a skill of fluency - and the skill of varying the tone of the voice – and the skill of body language, each skill has its own performance indicator, and the researcher has used the descriptive method, and to achieve this objective the researcher used questionnaire tool for the guide to make sure it is usable, and the sample amounted to (7) specialists in teaching Arabic language and teaching Arabic language to non-native speakers, then the opinions of the arbitrators were statistically treated using percentages and all of them agreed on the validity of that guide with proposed amendments .

Abstract Background: The benefits of cardiopulmonary resuscitation training for schoolchildren are well known, but the appropriate age for introducing training is still being discussed. This is a very important issue, since out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is a major public health concern. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of implemented cardiopulmonary resuscitation training on the knowledge and prosocial behavior of children in the last three grades of Slovenian elementary schools, and to identify the experience of training instructors. Methods: A mixed methods research design was employed, using a cohort study with testing before and after training, and focus groups. Research was conducted in 15 Slovenian elementary schools offering cardiopulmonary resuscitation training. Focus groups included training instructors and developers. Data was collected with a structured questionnaire from April to June 2018 and analyzed using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses. The three focus groups were convened in September and October 2018. Content analysis of the discussion transcriptions was conducted. The sample included 764 schoolchildren aged 12.5–14.5 years before cardiopulmonary resuscitation training and 566 schoolchildren after training. Three non-homogeneous focus groups included eight cardiopulmonary resuscitation instructors. Results: Significant progress in knowledge was noted after training implementation, with the greatest progress seen in the youngest age group (mean age 12.5). Male gender increased the level of self-confidence (β=0.114; p=0.007). Cardiopulmonary resuscitation knowledge influenced helping behavior (β=0.111; p=0.008), while internal motivation to help others was influenced by age (β=0.116; p=0.006) and level of knowledge (β=0.111; p=0.008). Analysis of the focus groups yielded two themes: (a) the effects of cardiopulmonary resuscitation training on schoolchildren, and (b) the systemic responsibility of the school system and professional bodies. Conclusions: Significant progress in schoolchildren’s cardiopulmonary resuscitation knowledge after training was established. Early introduction of training is recommended. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation knowledge influences the development of schoolchildren’s prosocial behavior, as it raises awareness of the responsibility to help others and increases self-confidence to provide bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation. We can conclude that early Cardiopulmonary resuscitation training for children is crucial. It should be a mandatory part of school curricula in those countries where Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is not yet mandatory.

This study aimed to measure the level of readability of functional Arabic textbook for non-native speakers of Al-Bayt University. And to identify the order of the text of the book according to the degree of readability. The study relied on the completion test in order to achieve its goal. The test was applied to three texts from the book. The test was distributed on an intentional sample made up of (33) learners from advanced level learners in the Language Center, Department of Arabic Language for Non-Native Speakers. The results of the study revealed that the learners ’responses to the complementarity test were at the frustrating level of the three texts, where the number of students at this level reached (13) with a percentage (39.4%). The results of the study also showed that the reading texts were not graded according to the level of legibility.

Mixed methods research is burgeoning across the social sciences. Yet there is a need to implement more modern approaches to teaching it in higher education. The aim of this work is to outline pedagogy and preliminary evaluation of new mixed methods workshops designed and implemented in an Australian university. A specific feature of these workshops included unpacking the ontological, epistemological and axiological understandings of various methods and the paradigms or worldviews that underpin each approach. This overview of the processes of scientific inquiry that permits mixing-in within and across quantitative and qualitative research designs aims to help participants to see how logics moved among these divides. In order to engage participants in critically learning about these abstract concepts, we adopted teaching strategies of flipped classroom and active learning. Results, from the workshop evaluations and individual learning reflections, provided preliminary evidence that: (i) due to this broad overview on mixed methods, participants would likely use mixed methods in the future in their field; and (ii) there is a strong appetite for high quality Mixed Methods instruction in higher education.
