The results reported herein represent the quantitative portion of a mixed method investigation that employed a non-equivalent control group design conducted to determine the effects of teaching methods on math anxiety and achievement among preservice elementary teachers enrolled in a mathematics course. Two teaching methods, inquiry-based learning (IBL) and direct instruction (DI), were compared. These results indicated that math anxiety decreased significantly for the IBL group while increasing for the DI group over the course of an academic semester. There was no difference in measured learning outcomes between the two groups. A significant negative correlation between math anxiety and student achievement, however, was found. Qualitative results, discussed in a companion article, contextualize these findings and reveal that the participants attributed varying levels of math anxiety to several factors including course content, teaching methods, assessments, and student behaviors.

The study investigated the effectiveness of Co-operative E-learning approach (CELA) on students’ attitude towards Chemistry. The Solomon Four Group, Non-equivalent Control Group Design was employed in the study. The study was carried out in Koibatek sub-county, Kenya where there has been a persistent low achievement in the subject. 489 form three students from twelve county schools, purposively selected from the sub-county were taught the same course content on the mole for a period of five weeks. The experiment groups received their instructions through the use of CELA approach and control groups using the conventional teaching method. The researcher trained the teachers in the experimental groups on the technique of CELA before treatment. Student Attitude Questionnaire (SAQ) was used for data collection. The results of the study indicated that students in experimental groups outperformed those in the control groups. Also, there were no statistically significant differences in the mean score in SAQ between boys and girls exposed to CELA. Girls and boys performed equally well in altitudes towards Chemistry. Chemistry teachers should be encouraged to incorporate CELA method.

The purpose of this study to determine the effect of the use of inquiry-based learning to the increased dimensions of procedural knowledge in electrical magnetic material. The study used a quasi-experimental research methods with research design is non-equivalent control group design and a sampel are selected with the random sampling method. The experimental group was taught by the method of inquiry-based learning and the control group was taught by conventional methods. Collecting data using the instrument of multiple-choice test that developed through this research with category of validity is valid, reliability with category of reliable, index of discrimination with category of low, and level of difficulty with category of medium. The results of the data analysis by using the formula N-Gain and t-test showed that an increase in the dimensions of procedural knowledge siginificantly for experimental class and less significant for control class. Based on the results of this study suggested to the teacher to always use the method of inquiry learning that an increase in procedural knowledge dimension, especially for topics related to experimental physics.

<p>This study investigates the effect of active recreational maths games (ARMG) on 1st grade male students’ maths anxiety and performance. The sample was divided into two groups: an experimental group (N=28), which was taught maths with ARMG in addition to traditional teaching methods, and a control group (N=30), which was taught with traditional teaching methods only. The ARMG consisted of 24 sessions taking place over a period of two months. Students participated in three sessions per week, each of which lasted 45 minutes. The findings revealed a significant negative correlation (r=-0.482; p&lt;0.05) between maths anxiety and students’ performance. A significant difference (α= 0.05) in maths anxiety and performance emerged between the experimental and control groups. The experimental group obtained lower maths anxiety scores and higher performance scores than the control group. Considering these results, the study proposes several recommendations and suggestions to develop maths teaching with ARMG.</p>

Self-efficacy memiliki kontribusi penting dalam proses pembelajaran karena dapat digunakan sebagai prediktor kinerja belajar siswa. Self-efficacy mampu merangsang motivasi, proses kognitif, aktivitas, prestasi dan ketekunan siswa. Kurangnya kemampuan efikasi diri merupakan salah satu masalah yang sering terjadi dalam pembelajaran. Permasalahan ini dapat diatasi melalui penerapan media pembelajaran seperti penggunaan modul inovatif. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penerapan modul pembelajaran berbasis masalah terhadap efikasi diri dan hasil belajar siswa. Selain itu juga bertujuan untuk melihat hubungan antara efikasi diri dengan hasil belajar akibat penerapan modul pembelajaran berbasis masalah materi sistem pencernaan. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada semester genap tahun ajaran 2020/2021 di sebuah sekolah menengah atas di Kabupaten Aceh Barat, Aceh, Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksperimen dengan desain pretest posttest non-equivalent control group design. Sampel penelitian adalah 93 siswa (total sampling). Instrumen yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini terdiri dari angket efikasi diri dan tes kognitif materi sistem pencernaan.

Abstract Background Frail older persons with cognitive impairment (CI) are at special risk of experiencing delirium during acute hospitalisation. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a dementia-friendly hospital program contributes to improved detection and management of patients with CI and risk of delirium at an acute-care hospital in Norway. Furthermore, we aimed to explore whether the program affected the prevalence of delirium, pharmacological treatment, 30-day re-hospitalisation, 30-day mortality and institutionalisation afterwards. Methods This study had a non-equivalent control group design and a historical control group. It was conducted at two different medical wards at a large acute-care hospital in Norway from September 2018 to December 2019. A total of 423 acute hospitalised patients 75 years of age or older were included in the study. Delirium screening and cognitive tests were recorded by research staff with the Four Assessment Test (4AT) and the Confusion Assessment Measure (CAM), while demographic and medical information was recorded from patient journals. Results Implementation of the dementia-friendly hospital program did not show any significant effect on the identification of patients with CI. However, the proportion of the patients with CI who received preventive measures increased by 32.2% (P < .001), compared to the control group. The share of patients screened with 4AT within 24 hours increased from 0–35.5% (P < .001). Furthermore, the number of patients with CI who were prescribed antipsychotic/hypnotic medications was reduced by 24.5% (P < .001). There were no differences in delirium, 30-day readmission or 30-day mortality. Conclusions Implementation of a model for early screening and multifactorial nonpharmacological interventions for patients with CI and delirium using quality improvement methodology may improve management of this patient group, increase staff awareness of family involvement, and reduce prescriptions of antipsychotics, hypnotics and sedatives. Trial registration: The protocol of this study was retrospectively registered in the ClinicalTrials.gov Protocol Registration and Results System with the registration number: NCT04737733 and date of registration: 03/02/2021.
