For academically bound international students, university-based intensive English programs (IEPs) frequently function as an avenue to American undergraduate or graduate degree programs. This qualitative study examined how one university-based IEP was preparing its academically bound international students and facilitating their transitions to matriculated study. We use the theory of situated learning to explore international students' participation in the IEP as a community of practice and the IEP's own marginality within the university structure. We found that university-based IEPs can play a critical role in helping international students gain the competence and knowledge necessary to begin legitimate peripheral participation in degree programs. However, the extent to which IEP students were able to participate in the larger university community was limited by the IEP's own marginality in the university community and the fact that the IEP is ultimately not a discipline-specific community of practice.

This study used a Two Groups, Random Selection Experimental Design to improved academic performance of Grade 9 learners of Silanga National High School Catbalogan City using Cloze Test Pocket Worksheet in Science. Its purpose was to seek answers to the following questions: (1) What is the pretest mean scores between the control and experimental group? (2) What is the posttest mean scores of the control and experimental group? (3) What is the mean gain scores of the selected experimental group before and after the conduct of the study? Based on the result, the following findings were formulated; (1) The pretest mean scores of the subjects using Cloze Test Pocket Woksheet and the pretest mean scores of those who did not used do not differ significantly. (2) The post-test means scores of subjects who were were using Cloze Test Pocket Woksheet and the posttest mean scores of the subjects who were not using Cloze Test Pocket Woksheet differ significantly. (3) There is a significant difference between the mean gain scores of the two groups of samples -- experimental and control groups. The experimental group who used Cloze Test Pocket Woksheet performed significantly higher than the control group who were not using the Cloze Test Pocket Woksheet.

A learning program not only aims to make students understand and master what and how things happen, but also provide an understanding of why it happened. Thus, a lesson that emphasizes problem-solving becomes very important to teach. One form of learning that emphasizes the problem solving is to apply systematic approach to problem solving. This is a guide to perform an action that serves to assist a person in solving a problem. Problem solving steps based on systematic approach to problem solving consists of four stages, namely problem analysis, problem solving process planning, calculation operations, and checking answers and interpretation of results. This study is a classroom action research that aims to see the increasing of student learning outcomes after applied systematic approach to problem solving. The subject of this research is 25 students of class VIIIA MTs Salafiyah Syafi'iyah Tebuireng Jombang. Instruments in this study is a matter of student learning outcomes on the material wake up space. This research was conducted in two cycles because in the second cycle has reached the indicator of success that students achieve the minimal clarity of at least 75%. The results showed that student learning outcomes in the first cycle reached 36% classical completeness, and in the second cycle of classical completeness of 84%. This shows that the application of systematic approach to problem solving can increase student learning outcomes.

This study is conducted to determine the effect of the sport activities on the self-confidence levels of 13-14 year-olds. Self-confidence formation starts especially at ages of 13-14 and affects the success of the individuals. Therefore, whether sport activities have any effects on self-confidence and whether the demographic characteristics affect self-confidence are analyzed in our study. Total of 272 individuals, 159 individuals participating in sport activities and 113 individuals not participating in sport activities at Ilkadim, Carsamba and Bafra Youth Centers providing services under the scope of the sport activities by the Samsun Youth and Sports Provincial Directorate in the season of 2018-2019 have participated voluntarily in this study. In this research, survey method among the methods used in applied research is preferred. As the data collection tool, a survey form consisting of two sections is used. In the first section the 'Personal Information Form' prepared by the researcher is used. In the personal information form, demographic information as father's employment status, mother's employment status, mother and father's marital status, number of siblings and familial income status are included. In the second section, the 'Self-confidence scale' developed by Akin (2007) is used. Acquired data is tested at 95% confidence level with the aid of SPSS program and the significance level is determined as 0.05. In the light of the date in the study, before the statistical analysis was begun, normality assumption and homogeneity tests are applied, as the result of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Levene tests conducted it is determined that the data has normal distribution (p &gt; 0.05). As the data shows normal distribution, it is decided to conduct parametric analysis. In comparison of the groups, independent sample t-test and one way ANOVA analyses are used. According to the acquired data and the analyses conducted, as the result of comparison of the Internal and External Self-confidence scores of the individuals participating in the sport activities according to the father's employment status, mother's employment status, mother and father's marital status, number of siblings and familial income status, it is concluded that there is no significant differences. Whereas in the gender variable, while there is no significant difference in the Internal Self-confidence sub dimension, in the External Self-confidence sub dimension it is found out that the males have significantly higher scores compared to the females. Also it is seen that the self-confidence levels of individuals participating in sport activities are statistically higher than the ones who do not participate in the sport activities (p &lt; 0.05).

This research is aimed at finding out: (1) the influence of discovery learning model with RME approach on Mathematics learning achievement; (2) the influence of interpersonal intelligence on Mathematics learning achievement; and (3) the interaction between discovery learning model with RME approach and interpersonal intelligence on Mathematics learning achievement. The research was conducted at one of the state Elementary Schools in Banjarsari sub-district, Surakarta. The method used in this research was quasi-experimental method with 2x3 factorial design. Hypothesis test was done by two-way variance ANOVA test with different cells. It can be concluded that the discovery learning model with RME approach gives better influence on the Mathematics learning achievement than the direct learning model. Students having high interpersonal intelligence category get better Mathematics learning achievement than those having medium and low category. The students having medium interpersonal intelligence get better Mathematics achievement than those having low category. There is no interaction between learning model and interpersonal intelligence on Mathematics learning achievement.
