Learning for students was to master the material in the purpose of facing the learning evaluation, and it was requiring a maximum ability. In fact, there were students who were not able to master the material. This situation informed that there was a low learning activity. This problems could be solved by having a scientific learning activities based using assignment techniques and classroom management. Learning activities were shown through the involvement of students in physical and mental activities by completing assignments both inside and outside the classroom. And it was done using scientific principles in order to create a conducive atmosphere and optimal learning maintenance. The exploratory method was carried out during the learning process at elementary school teacher education study program of UMN Al-Washliyah. Before the learning activities begun, it was done earlier by controlling and coordinating the class preparation for presenting the results of the assignments.

In recent years, with the territorial dispute between China and Japan, the research on Okinawa's national subjectivity and cultural themes and its achievements have been increasing in China. However, research on post- World War II Okinawa literature is still not mature. The theses, which analyze Okinawa’s history, religion, folklore, culture, and even the potential consciousness of Okinawa, people since ancient times from the perspective of post- World War II Okinawa literature is especially rare. When we study the post- World War II Okinawa literature, it is important for us to ignore Oshiro Tatsuhiro (1925-2020), the first Okinawa writer, who won The Akutagawa Prize, the highest honor in Japanese pure literature. Oshiro Tatsuhiro's literature not only records the relationship between China and Ryukyu with a strong sense of history and humanistic sentiment, but also is praised because of his distinctive Okinawa character, and it also has its own place in the field of "Japanese literature." In a sense, we can also refer to the literature of Oshiro Tatsuhiro as a cross-nation and mixed literature.

Physical activity has been considered as an effective strategy for both physiological and psychological benefits. Though its effects are well documented among adolescents and adults, but it has not been studied extensively in middle aged people. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to see the effect of physical activity on perceived stress, sleep quality and happiness among middle aged people. Total 455 participants (males=197, females=258) in the age range of 40-60 years were recruited for the present study. To assess the domains of physical activity, perceived stress, sleep quality and subjective happiness, Godin-Shephard Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire (Godin, 1985), Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen et. al., 1983), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (Buysse, et al., 1989) and Subjective Happiness Scale (Lyubomirsky & Lepper, 1999) were used respectively. Obtained scores were subjected to two-way analysis of variance. Findings of the study revealed significant effect of physical activity on perceived stress (F= 3.34; p< 0.05) and sleep quality (F = 387.036; p< 0.01). But, physical activity did not produce significant effect on subjective happiness among male and female participants. The study indicates that physical activity plays a vital role in enhancing sleep quality and reducing perceived stress among middle-aged people. The significant implications have been discussed.
