ANALYZING STUDENTS’ SPEAKING ACTIVITIES IN TEACHING LEARNING PROCESS USING STAD METHOD

Speaking is one of the most important skills in English where the speakers can express opinion, ideas, responses, information. Speaking is a productive skill that can be done spontaneously or directly given attention about the accuracy of the content of conversation and fluency when speaking. Usually, students are planning first before they are speaking which is expected to be able to improve the smoothness and accuracy about what they will say. the researcher should  provide methode  that  make students  interested  to  learn speaking and can help their progress in speaking ability. Cooperative learning is a term of a general set of learning that is designed to enhance cooperation between students in learning. In cooperative learning, students work in pairs, to maximize their own and other learning. STAD (Students team achievement division) is one of the various technique in cooperative learning, which make promote collaboration and self-regulating learning ability. The reason why the researcher selection of STAD is good interaction among students, improve positive attitude towards subject, better self-esteem increased interpersonal skills. The teacher presents a lesson, and then students work within their teams to make sure that all team members have mastered the lesson. Finally, all students take individual quizzes on the material, at which time they may not help one another

The rate of manual peripheral blood smear reviews in outpatients

Background: The International Consensus Group for Hematology Review recommends manual blood smears for new findings from automated complete blood cell (CBC) tests. However, in outpatients, the rate of peripheral manual blood smear reviews is uncertain, as is the effect of historical results on this rate. Methods: In a prospective cohort study of 687,955 members of a health maintenance organization, we extracted 39,759 consecutive automated CBC test results and determined the rate of manual peripheral smear reviews that were indicated using different triggering criteria, and historical results. Results: Individual triggering values increased from 10.7% to 19.5% when comparing our criteria to those of the consensus criteria. The proportion of CBC test results with at least one triggering value was 7.2% using our criteria, compared to 13.9% with the inclusion of a mean corpuscular volume <75 and a plus one immature granulocyte flag according to the consensus committee. Availability of historical data decreased our peripheral smear review rate to 2.6%. Conclusions: The peripheral smear review rate in outpatients using the consensus criteria was higher than with our less stringent criteria. If historical data are available and no clinical utility is demonstrated for the additional consensus criteria, an acceptable out-patient review rate might be as low as 2.6%.
