Abstract

This research was conducted to assess the effectiveness of study group The study showed that that the experimental group which used the study group activity guide performed better as compared in the control group. This is attributed to better retention and learning among the architecture students in the experimental group because of several phases and types of learning experiences they were exposed.

The Effect of Learning Method and Confidence Level on the Ability of Interpreting Religious Poem

“…The data analysis shows that the ability to interpret religious poetry of student who studied with expository method and the authentic method are 71.00 and 68.45 respectively. The result of the ability to interpret religious poetry learning with expository learning method is more effective than the authentic learning method in the lecture of poetry appreciation, especially to improve the ability to interpret religious poetry (Edinyang and Ubi, 2012;Ibe, 2013;Ganiron Jr, 2014). In the group of student who have a high confidence level who studied with expository method and the authentic method obtained the average scores are 74.73 and 65.64 respectively.…”

“…Based on the calculation, the results obtained are such as: for the first hypothesis, the result of calculation of variance analysis of two paths between columns obtained price F calculate = 5.17 is greater than F table = 4.08 at the level of significance α = 0.05. This means that the ability to interpret religious poetry of students who studied with expository methods is better than the group of students who studied with authentic methods is acceptable (Ibe, 2013;Ganiron Jr, 2014). Second hypothesis, advanced calculation results by using Tuckey test on a group of students with high confidence level who studied with expository method and group of students who studied with authentic method (A1B1 banding A2B1) was obtained Q calculate = 8.11 is greater than Q table = 2.80 at the level of significance α = 0.05 and Q table = 3.70 at the level of significance α = 0,01.…”

This study tries to offer a way to improve the writing skill of exposition text through student cognitive improvement regarding effective sentence control using onlne media learning Quipper.…”
