The Effect of Learners’ Sex and STEM/non-STEM Majors on Remote Learning: A National Study of Undergraduates in Qatar

The sudden and prolonged disruption to learning caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the vulnerabilities of traditional higher education and revealed the need for a rapid transformation. Lessons from the pandemic have made it clear that the future of higher education will rely heavily on e-learning and the agility of institutions to seamlessly transition between face-to-face, blended/hybrid, and fully online learning. As institutions begin their post-pandemic planning, the online experiences of different groups of learners during the pandemic offer valuable insight into what is working and what isn’t. Consequently, this study explored the effect of learners’ sex and discipline (STEM/non-STEM) on students’ perceptions of (1) course design, (2) assessment, (3) student behavior, (4) instructor behavior, and (5) tools and technologies during forced online learning. Additionally, the researchers investigated the effect of sex and discipline on students’ overall satisfaction with remote learning and explored the influence of students’ perceptions on satisfaction. Study participants were 1,825 undergraduates at eight universities in Qatar. Using the QLT evaluation rubric, the researchers adapted a 27-item survey to measure students’ perceptions of key aspects of quality online teaching and learning and to gauge overall satisfaction. Using a SEM approach, study results showed that (1) male students had more positive perceptions of instructor behavior, assessment, and tools and technologies compared to females, (2) males were more satisfied overall with their remote learning experiences, (3) students in STEM disciplines had significantly more negative perceptions of all the aspects of online learning explored in the study, (4) students in STEM disciplines were significantly less satisfied overall with remote learning, and (5) students’ perceptions of tools and technologies, assessment, and course design most influenced their overall satisfaction. These findings have important implications for faculty development and post-pandemic planning in higher education in general and the Gulf in particular.

Effectiveness of English Online Learning Based on Deep Learning.

With the popularization of the Internet lifestyle and the innovation of learning methods, more and more online learning systems have emerged, allowing users to study in the system anytime and anywhere. While providing convenience to users, online learning systems also bring troubles to users, who cannot quickly find the resources they are interested in from the huge amount of learning resources. In this paper, we apply deep learning to an English online learning platform and analyze learners and learning contents by clustering algorithm and association rules. Based on this, a content organization system is developed using genetic algorithms, which is applied to the case of this paper to provide learners with personalized learning content. With the hope that the system can be extended to other online learning platforms in the future, three data mining techniques were selected to solve the problems found in the English online learning platform, and we designed how these techniques should be applied to the online learning platform. The first technique is the cluster mining technique, which is used to analyze learners' profiles, classify learners in different categories, provide them with personalized learning content, and organize group learning. The second technique is association rules, which is used to analyze the correlation between learning contents. For the adaptive student-teacher knowledge migration strategy, the teacher model can guide the student model to track online and migrate the task-specific knowledge to the online tracking student model through the network parameters. Finally, a case study is selected and the above design is applied to this case study, and the results are analyzed in detail. The data mining technology is applied to the English online learning platform, and an innovative English learning content organization system is developed. It is hoped that the results of this study will have some practical value for promotion and provide an idea for the construction of the online learning platform, and it is also expected that the idea can improve the quality of online learning to a certain extent. Specifically, the online student model is adaptively updated by the teacher model parameters and the online student model parameters together.

Educational Information Refinement with Application Using Massive-Scale Data Mining

In the manuscript, we propose a novel online learning mechanism based on educational data mining. By leveraging the computer-assisted information-based learning guidance platform, we collect the relevant information of students’ login platform and resource browsing. Subsequently, we preprocess these students’ login data based on which the statistical analysis of students’ login and resource browsing habits are learned through a decision-making mechanism. The decision tree algorithm discovers the underlying factors that influence it from million-scale real-world instructors/students. In this way, instructors and teaching staff can effectively grasp the learning process of students according to the analyzing results. Based on this, the target teaching content integration and teaching model construction can be realized accordingly. This can substantially improve the effectiveness and quality of online learning. In the evaluation stage, we observe that the strategy to deploy a virtual lab environment vigorously brings greater flexibility in the allocation of computing resources to educational institutions. In an ideal sandboxed laboratory context, students can obtain and create an internal network and then have accession to all the computers conveniently. By doing so, gathering savvy skills gives them the workability to build architectures based on mined data. In this work, we adopt the so-called EDUCloud to provide a personal cloud network connection that can flexibly deploy the mined laboratory-related data to facilitate online learning between instructors and students.

Leveraging Data Mining Technique to Enhancing Online Education and Its Efficiency Study

The previously conducted assessment of university education facilitated an evaluation model depending on small-scale data mining. A cloud-platform-based data mining algorithm was constructed for university education informatization to handle. Hence, we established an evaluation index system, integrated the global evaluation perspective, and subsequently obtained the three-dimensional structure of the evaluation index. The criterion was calculated by the postmining probability of the data, which was further leveraged to score each index in the evaluation system, and finally, the original index data matrix was constructed. Afterward, the membership degree vector of the index was calculated concerning which type of benefit of education informatization is evaluated. We investigated the online university education mechanism based on educational data mining. According to the computer-aided learning platform, we collected information and data related to the situation and resource browsing of students on the platform. We preprocessed these H log data. Then, the statistics of the students’ login information and resource browsing were collected. Hence, we analyzed the influencing factors through the decision tree that enabled instructors to effectively grasp the students’ learning conditions based on the mining results. The above integration of teaching content and the construction of a teaching model could substantially improve the quality of online learning. Experimental results showed that our data-mining-based evaluation model exhibited a much higher accuracy when the university evaluation was compared with the conventional model. This observation claimed that the university education evaluation by leveraging bulk data was quite useful. Besides, the cost consumption of the proposed method was superior to its competitors.

Pedagogic Interaction in an Online EFL Class at a Junior High School in Depok

The research was conducted to investigate how the teacher built pedagogic interactions with the students in an online EFL class in Depok, including how the teacher used speech structures, language shifts, and how the students perceived the interactions. The shift to online learning in the pandemic era had affected the quality of learning. Due to the complexity of online learning, interpersonal interactions between teachers and students were frequently overlooked in an online class. Applying exploratory sequential mixed methods, the research was meant to provide findings that could be used to improve the quality of online learning. It began with a qualitative research phase, and then the results of the qualitative phase were used to build into the quantitative phase. Classroom observations, stimulated recalls, and a questionnaire were used to collect the data. The results indicate that the EFL teacher builds his/her interactions by prioritizing pedagogical functions and targeting the students' cognitive domains. The dominant learning cycle is the focus phase with a pedagogical role as an information provider. Intramove is identified as the most frequently occurring code-switching type used for pedagogical, managerial, and technical functions. Translanguaging is also identified which gives rise to productive bilingualism. Overall, the pedagogic interactions that are established by the EFL teacher are well perceived by the students, and they give some suggestions for the quality improvement of EFL online learning so that future classes will be more interactive. More research on the aspects of class interactions during online learning should be carried out to help teachers improve the quality of their online teaching.
