Faculty’s Attitudes Towards Integrating Technology and innovation in Higher Education in Saudi Arabian Universities from Literature Review Perspective

To summarize, the majority of existing research on technology use in Saudi Arabian universities has framed faculty’s use of technology in the classroom positively. However, each study contains a group of faculties with persistently negative attitudes toward using technology regardless of the reasons or experiences that led them to this attitude Alenezi (2012), in example, observed in his study that certain faculty members who hold unfavorable opinions on e-learning believe that it prioritizes memorization over real-world learning. According to the study's staff, pupils' chances for creativity were diminished by the online learning environment (Alenezi, 2012). Alghamdi and Bayaga (2016) looked at faculty perceptions regarding the use of LMS in their instructional activities. According to the report, even though their universities offer LMS services, some faculty members choose not to use them. However, a lot of teachers are just unwilling to incorporate technology into their lessons, although there are a lot of other reasons for this. The group of faculties considered reluctant may include those who are technologically illiterate and those who believe that traditional teaching methods are preferable (Hagner & Schneebeck, 2001, p. 2-4). Carey and Dorn (1998) pinpoint a specific form of reluctancy as “technophobia,” which describes the fear of using technology for reasons such as a perception that it does not align with their teaching strategies, a lack of usefulness, and a lack of control (p. 71). However, the authors suggested that faculty can overcome technophobia by having greater self-efficacy to use technology and practice with technology so that it may become "familiar, useful, and controllable" Carey & Dorn, 1998, p. 71). Therefore, as Mishra et al. (2007) posit, there are critical issues that face faculty in higher education, such as lack of experience with teaching with technology, as they integrate technology into their teaching technique. Ultimately, the research described throughout this literature review supports the claim that the majority of university faculty in Saudi Arabia perceive technology-based teaching negatively.

Automatic Short Answer Grading onHigh School’s E-Learning Using Semantic Similarity Methods

Grading students’ answers has always been a daunting task which takes a lot of teachers’ time. The aim of this study is to grade students’ answers automatically in a high school’s e-learning system. The grading process must be fast, and the result must be as close as possible to the teacher assigned grades. We collected a total of 840 answers from 40 students for this study, each already graded by their teachers. We used Python library sentence-transformers and three of its latest pre-trained machine learning models (all-mpnet-base-v2, all-distilroberta-v1, all-MiniLM-L6-v2) for sentence embeddings. Computer grades were calculated using Cosine Similarity. These grades were then compared with teacher assigned grades using both Mean Absolute Error and Root Mean Square Error. Our results showed that all-MiniLM-L6-v2 gave the most similar grades to teacher assigned grades and had the fastest processing time. Further study may include testing these models on more answers from more students, also fine tune these models using more school materials.

Assessment strategies in mixed learning applied in IT engineering and mathematics studies

During the past COVID pandemical crisis, teachers at any level must to adapt their teaching methodologies to online learning environment. One of the fear most aspects was the course assessment. Nonetheless, a lot of teachers were attracted to use news tools, that previously exists in their online platforms. In Universitat de Barcelona learning was developed in a mixed form after the first COVID crisis, doing some activities online and others, like final semester exams, in person. During this phase, we have carried out a questionnaire among students and teachers to know their opinion about assessment tasks during these semesters where online learning was more important than any time before. The results we have recollected shows that professors and students not always share the same point of view about usefulness of different assessment strategies or how they are linked to competence and skills achievements.

MOTIVES FOR CHOOSING A CAREER OF TEACHING ENGLISH

Professional qualification, subject matter knowledge, methodological teaching skills, dedication to teaching, enthusiasm and commitment in teaching are essential keys in determining teachers’ competency and teaching efficacy. The purpose of the article is to explore motives for choosing a career of teaching English. Research methods used: theoretical analysis and systematization of pedagogical works, which made it possible to identify conceptual considerations on main motives for choosing a career of teaching English; observations and practices of author’s teaching experience are also used and included to reveal the main aspects of the issue under analysis. The study findings suggest that for many teachers, the career of teaching is more than just a job. The «performance gap» that these teachers experience between their ideals and the reality of the classroom, suggests that teaching is a calling. Research indicates that one strong motivation for choosing teaching career is that women are influenced by their parents slightly more than by their teachers in their decisions to become teachers. The data suggest that parents encourage their daughters more to choose teaching as a perspective career than their sons. In fact, career choice usually involves a difference in motives. On the one hand, there are a lot of teachers without an initial vocation who find themselves enjoying the work and becoming very committed. On the other hand, there were teachers who had an initial vocation who found their enthusiasm and motivation waning over the years. So it was revealed that teachers in both these categories may in time have to deal with de-motivation.

The researches justify the importance of using IT in the process. However, the use of IT in the teaching environment is a new challenge in protecting and enhancing the health of primary students. The natural tendency of children, the need of the use of IT in the process of teaching (learning) necessitates the management of this process. Research aim – to examine expanse’s tendencies of IT in primary education and to reveal the features of creating a healthy teaching (learning) environment for pupils. 237 teachers of primary school from the west of Lithuania have been surveyed. The study showed that primary school teachers and students are not yet appointed with a variety of IT tools. Although almost all of the teachers had computers in their classrooms and almost half of the respondents had a digital projector, only a very small part of the teachers had interactive whiteboards and tablets in their classrooms. Primary schools have purchased different IT tools for co-use, but only few of the teachers have those tools in their classrooms. The lack of IT tools in the classroom limits the possibilities of their use in the education process. The study revealed that the knowledge of the primary students about the safe use of IT tools, healthcare while working with IT is not related to their skills. Children lack the ability to learn practical activities, their application in life situations and healthy behaviours. Although a lot of teachers think that primary students are aware of the safe use of IT and the effect of misuse of IT, only one third or less of primary school teachers agreed that primary students are able to properly sit at the desk using IT, to do eye exercises, to protect their eyesight, to adjust eye and hand movements, etc.

Ways to involve passive students in active physical education

Learning passive person’s relation to physical culture shows that the dominative factor at person’s motivative sphere is the desire of omitting learning and training process; it is explained with ther help of various reasons conditioned as a rule imperfection of person’s social and psychological relations as well as unknowledge of the more important role of moving activities for a health.
 An absence at students of a readiness to moving activities is shown at various forms: motivative refuse from doing tasks because of a pain, fatigue; partititional doing moving activities; an absence of important interests and desires at collective actions (games); domination of individual motives of a behaviour. To overcome these negative nuances a teacher has to know reasons of their appearance.
 When learning reasons of appearance of passive relation to moving activities there are such three groups of students: those who has theoretical positive relation to physical exercises; those who is indifferent to moving activities; those who has negative relation to learning and training process and collective actions.
 A lot of teachers underline special role of relation of human itself to various kinds of activities. Activities itselves does not promote developing moving activities and not already provide overcoming negative relations to physical exercises. It is possible if all educational work at higher educational establishment and requirements of teacher are directed to positive relation to each person’s action.

Effective Communication between College Teacher and Students in English Extensive Reading Classes

Effective communication is an important guarantee for the effectiveness of classroom teaching, and this is also true for the teaching of college English extensive reading courses. Effective communication depends on changing the roles of teachers and students in the teaching process at the right time - listener or speaker. Quite a lot of teachers are used to "speaking" knowledge or even skills to students in reading class, which not only kills the opportunity of communication between teachers and students, but also leads to the unsatisfactory result in classroom atmosphere and teaching effect. In fact, as long as the students are given confidence and patience, and the roles of teachers and students can be changed at any time according to the teaching content, effective communication can be achieved.

Interakce při řešení problémově orientovaných úloh ve výuce přírodovědy

It has been over ten years since the key competences were introduced into the Czech curricula; however, there are still lots of teachers who do not fully understand how to implement these competences in their teaching and instruction. This paper focuses on one of them: the problem-solving competence. In our previous research, we found that a well-designed assignment of a problem-oriented task does not guarantee developing of problem-solving competence. From our research, a need to focus on the execution of the problem-oriented task as such has emerged. The presented study aims to describe the interaction between the teacher and pupils while solving the problem-oriented situation developed around the problem-oriented task. I used the method of a conversation analysis of 15 problem-oriented situations selected from 10 primary science lessons, collected in 2010/2011 in five classes (in two subsequent lessons). My analysis shows that interactions in problem-oriented instruction have overall looser character of institutional rules; the teachers´ role is rather inhibited as they let the pupils come up with their solutions more independently, intervening in the process only if necessary – e.g. to narrow down the problem space or to help by bringing an analogy from a different context. However, the teachers never provide explicit prompts leading to direct solution of the task nor reveal the correct solution. There are also differences in the way they provide feedback and rapport during the problem-oriented situations. For instance, when the teachers ask for an explanation or justification, they elicit a specification or providing other possible solutions instead of correcting the students. In conclusion, I discuss the connection between the explored interactions and scaffolding, limitations of my research and the potentials of follow-up research to understand in more depth how to support the development of pupils problem-solving competence.

ІННОВАЦІЙНИЙ ЗМІСТ НАВЧАННЯ ТА КУЛЬТУРА ВИВЧЕННЯ ІНОЗЕМНОЇ МОВИ

The article shows the ways how to make the combination of lexical aspect, grammar, style with the art, authentic literature, the discussion of facts in the free, friendly atmosphere, which have a big impact on public and individual opinions, developing a more nature-like vocabulary. The problem is that a lot of teachers use only the classroom for their work and manuals they have got for it. It does not make the educational process interesting and it does not push the students to raise their level of knowledge. The task is that it needs to seek for another ways of education. The aims of this article are to consider the importance roleplaying practice for analysis of authentic text after visiting theatre, to create the images of characters, use facts of the history and make closer them to the reality, applicate the original text, analyze the language together with the teacher, define the role of the teacher in innovation process of the education. Learners need to develop a critical eye for analyzing, evaluating and synthesizing new information, the differences in styles of native language and English, reading the authentic literature of the authors the language of whom they study. The material analysis namely the best methods which are used for more intensive meaning of English, stimulation of students and achievement of positive results offer the teacher a wide range of actions and methods in such processing. The conversations which are widely accepted in the methodology must be compounded not only with lexical material, grammar, phonetics but also with the art for general outlook, theatrical creation in the roleplays, abilities to show their activities in the confidence manner on the imaginary scene with the audience in friendly atmosphere, with free usage of language on the base of theatrical imagination, learning the authentic material [1-7]. Such work helps students to research idiom origin, slang, synonyms and discuss word choice in English to enlarge their vocabulary. This article confirms that the best way is to develop discussion skills through roleplay after attending theatre. Students share ideas with their partners and with the other group in the form of pyramid. The role of the teacher is to attend theatre with the group of students, to facilitate the choice of the ideas for discussion, provide language skills and encourage confidence. The urgency of this article lays in the fact that the present educational process uses not only traditional methods of teaching English but enough innovational ones which carry out linguistic, psychological, general educational, country research, culturally educational aspects.

CALS conception for the educational program at the university in the study of metrology and other technical disciplines

The educational program at the university is designed taking into consideration the university wishes and the requirements of regulatory documents. The basis of the training program is the curriculum. It contains academic disciplines with the appropriate parameters: a semester, a number of credit units, the number of hours for classroom work, types of classes. For its implementation the resources are used: a lot of teachers (in departments), a lot of students (in groups), a lot of classrooms (for classes), a lot of equipment (of various types), a lot of training materials, a lot of e-learning courses. Many academic disciplines are combined with each set of resources. Each resource has its own parameters. To allocate the resources, these parameters and many conditions should be considered. This is a multi-criteria optimization task. The resource parameters and restrictions can change during the educational program’ functioning. It requires the development of a new educational program plan. This can be done using the concept of Continuous Acquisition and Life-Cycle Support (CALS) which is widely used in industry but not in education. The CALS concept is based on the use of automated information systems.

Efekti primene zadataka otvorenog tipa u nastavi matematike

Learning process, especially during mathematics lesson, is accomplished thanks to the tasks that students are confronted with. A focus of this paper is on open tasks. Its aim is to depict the significance of the open tasks in mathematics teaching with regard to the teachers' work with them. Furthermore, the paper presents the findings about the mindsets of 60 Slovak teachers gained through the online questionnaire. The results indicate that a lot of teachers either do not believe that their students can change their intelligence quotient or cannot decide about this matter. Again, the questionnaire was chosen as the research method to monitor the motivation of students to solve the open tasks. The familiarity of students with this type of tasks seems to raise their interest in solving the open tasks. In addition, few ways of modifying the closed task to the open one are presented in the paper.

Student Perceptions on Gender differences of ELT Teachers

The effect of teacher gender on students of different gender is often shrugged off, as a lot of teachers themselves are not aware of gender biases and stereotyping in particular when these issues may not have been addressed effectively in their training programs, as not much research has been done on this particular aspect in recent years. Hence, it is an area that needs to be addressed in a more vigorous style particularly in the language learning arena, in order to explore and overcome any shortcomings that may exist with regard to gender differences. The purpose of this research is to identify the effects of teacher gender on students in terms of their perceptions as learners and thus cater to the following research question. Which teacher gender is preferred over the other by students among their language teachers and why? In order to do this, qualitative research design has been incorporated and data collected over a period of 2 months were analyzed and triangulated to accumulate the results which indicated that with regard to content delivery, female teachers topped off while male teachers flourished being spontaneous and more approachable in class. Furthermore, it was also found that both male and female students preferred male language teachers over female teachers due to the fact that they were perceived to be more “friendly” towards their students.

COLLEGE BUS TRACKING SYSTEM (TRAVELINE)

In a world filled with busy schedules it becomes almost certain that a person is not able to keep up with his commitments on time due to a number of reasons. One of the main reasons being the inability to commute on time, i.e. we might be late to catch the vehicle or the vehicle might be delayed due to traffic, roadblock or a breakdown. Due to this very reason a lot of work is left unfinished and considerable amount of valuable time is lost. In this work we address this very problem which is quite prominent in institution, due to which a lot of teachers and students are unable to arrive in time and proceed with their classes. This prompted us to come up with an application that allows us to track all of the busses in institution, providing an alternate bus, along with the shortest route from the user to the bus and also informing the student or faculty when the bus is missed.
