Fine motor skills are needed by children when entering elementary school. The skills help them to be active in class. However, many children do not have fine motor skills, so they have difficulty participating in classroom activities. This is presumably due to the lack of stimulation at home or in early childhood education institutions. This study investigated the effectiveness of improving fine motor skills for children aged 5-6 years using eggshell collage media. The study used a quasi-experimental approach with a pre-test and post-test design. The participants of this study were 15 children aged 5-6 years at early childhood education institutions selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis used paired sample t-test. The results showed that before the action (pre-test), the researchers categorized children's fine motor skills as they started the growing phase; after the action (post-test), fine motor skills were categorized as developed as the expected phase, and there was an influence of eggshell collage media. With a Significant 0.000 < 0.05, it is recommended that parents and teachers implement eggshell collage media to improve the children's fine motor skills.

In this study, a training model of the board game Untold: The adventure awaits you was developed to teach narrative skills. The research was structured in three phases: analysis of the educational possibilities of board game-based learning; application of the game in a pilot experience with the participation of 137 Spanish first-year high school students; and proposal for the adaptation of the game mechanics and dynamics. The results offer a proposal with modifications of game dynamics and mechanics to facilitate the didactic use of Untold: The adventure awaits you. The main modifications have been: simplification of rules, previous training in the interpretation of dice and metaphorical meanings, and inclusion of the villain (or knot) as the starting point and central axis of the narrative. It is concluded that it is an effective resource to develop narrative competence in a playful way.

This study aimed to examine the effects of listening strategy instruction incorporating intensive and extensive listening on undergraduate hospitality students’ listening skills and metacognitive awareness. The design of the study was an embedded experimental mixed-methods design. The participants were 10 first-year students in the hospitality program whose English proficiency was, on average, low. Listening pre-tests and post-tests including, a listening achievement test and a metacognitive awareness listening questionnaire (MALQ), were administered to participants. During the intervention, students were asked to keep a student reflective journal. At the end of the intervention, a one-on-one semi-structured interview was conducted with participants individually. The quantitative analysis showed that after being exposed to the intervention for 9 weeks, listening skills and metacognitive awareness statistically and significantly improved. The qualitative analysis revealed that the use of listening strategies can facilitate listening comprehension. In addition, the findings of the present study emphasized the need forlistening strategy instruction for low proficiency learners.

This study investigated the readability level of second-grade secondary school scientific stream Chemistry and Physics textbooks in Jordan, determining the effect of gender on the degree of readability, in addition to knowing the order of the textbooks according to the degree of their readability in both books. The current study was conducted to determine the readability level of chemistry and physics textbooks by involving 300 second-grade secondary school students of the public schools affiliated with the Directorate of Education, Jordan. Four Cloze tests were prepared from different topics of both textbooks to measure their readability. The test included four texts with 20 words omitted from each text, and the texts were presented in the same format as in the textbooks, with clear instructions provided for the students. A pilot sample outside the study sample was administered with the test-retest method to confirm the reliability of the four tests for both textbooks. The findings revealed that physics textbooks had a higher level of readability than chemistry textbooks. A significant difference (p≤0.05) was observed based on the type of textbook in the readability of chemistry and physics textbooks. The scientific texts in the chemistry textbook were ordered in light of their readability level. In contrast, the scientific texts in the physics textbook were not ordered in light of their readability level. The study concluded that the readability level of Jordanian Chemistry and Physics textbooks of the second grade of the scientific stream differed significantly (p≤0.05). The study recommends that the Jordan Ministry of Education should appoint a panel of experts to review the textbooks and make the necessary changes to improve their readability level.
