Expressive Writing As An Intervention For Math Anxiety In Middle School Students, Angela Ruark

MLET: The Journal of Middle Level Education in Texas

Effective interventions are needed to address these issues. Expressive writing is one such intervention that has shown promise in reducing math anxiety with older students. This study investigated the impact of expressive writing on the math anxiety levels of middle school students according to group and gender. An experimental, …

Integrating L1 In L2 Classrooms: The Case Of Arabic As A Foreign Language In Us Universities, Martin Isleem

Faculty Journal Articles

For many years, instructors and scholars of the Arabic language in American high- er education schools have debated two pedagogical questions: (1) whether or not non-standardized Arabic varieties, Spoken Arabic, should be integrated with Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) in the foreign Arabic classroom, and if so, (2) what that integration should look like (see Al-Batal, 2017). One of the prominent claims of those favoring MSA in the classroom is that MSA is the more prestigious language variety and therefore better represents Arabic literature, religious tradition and culture (Ryding, 1995:226) However, in the last two decades there has been an evolving …

Experiences Of Nurse Educators In Malaysia Regarding Problem Based Learning, Umadevi Alasingam

Student Works (2020-2029)

In 2010, declining standards of nursing care in Malaysia triggered immense concern. This erosion was traced to inadequate teacher-centric nurse instruction in nursing schools. The Malaysian government proposed that Problem-based learning, a student-led instruction method, be utilized henceforth. This study aims to investigate the experiences of nurse-educators regarding Problem-based learning presuming that successful implementation of Problem-based learning method hinged heavily on the role, capabilities and attitude of nurse-educators regarding this divergent learning method. A study was conducted among five nurse-educators with long experiences in using this method. They were interviewed using open-ended questions. Interview data obtained was analyzed using N-Vivo-12 …
