Abstract: These researches aimed to identifywhy students achieve low results in mathematics subject as well as providing possible solutions to this problem. With reference to the researchers' experiences as teachers at schools and later at universities and after seeing the academic results of students on mathematics courses, they found that there are weaknesses in the students' academic achievement. In fact, academic achievement is considered very necessary for students to transfer from one studying level to another, so the researchers found that it is crucial to investigate improving student’s skill in mathematics. When learners’ are followed mathematics course group discussion/learning is essential. Group work is a method of social work which develops the ability of establishing constructive relationship in individuals through group activities. Group experiences are the essential needs of human being. Group work helps the individual in removing weakness and strengthening internal power to perform his/her job satisfactorily. The social group worker must have the theoretical knowledge of social group work, its principles, its skills, its models; its assumption so that he/she may be able to perform his/her jobs most satisfactorily. The mathematics skills hardship faced by students during mathematics solving equations and problem-solving. so as to understand the issues faced by them, The study was carried out using a qualitative method involving a group work of students developing their cognitive abilities in learning further intricate the trouble faced by the students in their mathematics solving equations and problem-solving.

Abstract: In Puerto Rico, cancer incidence increases significantly, and is accompanied with a greater risk of experiencing high levels of depressive symptoms, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life when compared to other minority ethnic groups. Studies suggest that interventions to attend distress in Latino patient population would benefit from including components that seek to improve patients' spiritual well-being. The purpose of this study is to identify the level of comprehension and acceptance of Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy (MCP) concepts. A mixed method design was conducted with in-depth interviews and open pilot data. A total of nine participants with advanced or metastatic cancer were sampled from an Oncology Clinic in the south of Puerto Rico. Six semi-structured interviews and six ethnographic notes with audiotape sessions were selected and transcribed. All material was analyzed, resulting in a sample of six semi-structured interview and six ethnographic note peer sessions. Patients showed low comprehension of the MCP concepts of meaning, the finite, and legacy. Patients showed low acceptance of death and its related concepts. They also reported high acceptance of integrating family members to their therapy. In order to tailor the intervention and improve comprehension, the content should include examples, shorter questions, and brief definitions. Additionally, there is a need to address death and its related concepts in end of life.

Abstract: The research on the relationship between the teaching model of seminar and the learning gain of students has been a hot topic for a long time. As the Classroom Response System (CRS) is widely used in interactive teaching environments to attract students by asking questions. This paper takes electromagnetism of introductory physics as an example to study the teaching mode of review seminar based on CRS. Focusing on the necessity of review seminar based on CRS, the teaching efficiency as well as the stability of students' learning effect under this teaching mode, this paper qualitatively discusses the necessity and teaching efficiency of review seminar based on CRS, and quantifies the learning effect of students under this mode from the correct transformation of students' concept and its stability. The results show that the teaching model of seminar based on CRS is suitable for the teaching of problem sets in introductory and has high teaching efficiency. Most of the students have the right change of physics concept after the discussion with their peers, and have stable learning gain. At the end of the paper, we discuss the shortcomings of the research and looks forward to the future research direction.
