The Impact of Designing an Electronic Course of Computer Uses on Developing Academic Achievement and Creative Thinking in a Saudi University

This research aims to measure the impact on academic achievement and developing creative thinking skills by designing an electronic course (e-course hereafter) for computer uses in teaching at a Saudi university. Following a quasi-experimental methodology, forty students (female) were selected and segregated into control and experimental groups for this study. The latter was taught using the designed e-course for ‘Computer Uses in Teaching’ and the former was taught in a normal class. To achieve research objectives, research tools consisted of an e-course (a cognitive test to measure academic achievement), and Torrance test to measure creative thinking skills. The results demonstrated a significant difference (α ≥ 0.05) between the experimental and the control groups in the average score of achievement test. The post-test synthesis, analysis, and evaluation levels were found in accordance with the experimental group. The average score of post-test creative thinking test results evaluated at the levels of flexibility, fluency, and originality were also found to be significantly different (α ≥ 0.05) with respect to the two groups. It is recommended to develop the digital content in accordance with the measures taken during the Corona pandemic and e-learning standards.

The Use of Multimedia for Learning Badminton

This study aims to develop a multimedia-based learning model of badminton theory and practice. The method used in this research is research and development with 10 steps Borg & Gall. The subjects consisted of 3 experts (badminton, learning, multimedia) and 150 students at three universities that have sports science faculties in West Java. Based on the results of expert validation, the product developed is suitable for use and has been proven to be effective in improving students' badminton skills. Based on the Paired Sample Test, it can be seen that only two Control groups (B and C) have Sig values. (2-Tailed) is more than 0.05 (2-tailed> 0.05) so that in this result it can be stated that Ho is accepted and Ha is rejected, which means that in control groups (B and C) there is no difference in the average initial test scores with the final test. Thus, it can be stated that there is no effect of treatment on improving student badminton learning outcomes. Meanwhile, Pired 1, 4, 5, and 6 (four groups) have Sig values. (2-Tailed) is less than 0.05 (Sig. (2-Tailed) <0.05) so that in this result it can be stated that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted, which means that there is a difference in the results of the initial test and the final test. Thus, it can be stated that there is an effect of treatment on improving student badminton learning outcomes. Based on the Equal variances assumed section values it is known as Sig. (2-tailed) is 0.039 <0.05, thus Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted, which means that there is a difference in the average test results of the control group and the experimental group. Based on the statistical results of the T test, it can be seen that between the control group and the experimental group there is a significant difference in the results of the final test. This shows that the developed model which was implemented as a treatment for the experimental group, has a better effect than the control group. However, in the control group, of the three groups, there was one group whose paired t test results showed a significant difference between the initial test and the final test. This is something that is beyond the prediction of the researcher, because there are other factors that may influence this achievement outside the variables studied.

College English Reading Teaching Integrating Production Oriented Approach from the Perspective of Artificial Intelligence.

The objectives are to solve many problems in traditional English reading teaching, such as the passive acceptance of students' learning situation, the rigid teaching mode of teachers and the difficulty in taking into account the individual needs of each student, and the forced averaging of students' English learning ability and level. Firstly, a detection method of English reading level based on the Backpropagation neural network (BPNN) is designed. Secondly, the teaching process and specific teaching plan are designed with the Production Oriented Approach (POA). Finally, the detection method of English reading level is verified by simulation experiments, and the effect of the teaching method integrating POA is analyzed. The results show that (1) when the learning rate is 0.26 and the training time is 1000 times, the mean square error (MSE) of the model is the smallest. (2) The results of the practical experiment indicate that the number of people who sign up for the college English proficiency test, the number of actual exams, and the pass rate of the test in the experimental group using the teaching method are higher than those in the control group. Moreover, the number of people in the experimental group increased more than that in the control group after the experiment. There is no significant difference in the test results of the two groups before the experiment, and the average test scores of the experimental group are obviously higher than those of the control group after the experiment. The p value of the two groups of results is less than 0.05 in the t-test, indicating that there is a significant difference in the English reading level between the two groups after the experiment. Simultaneously, the difference between the results of class A before and after the experiment is larger than that of class B, showing that the teaching method integrating POA is more effective for students with higher English levels. Therefore, compared with the traditional teaching method, the teaching mode integrating POA is more effective in improving the English reading level of college students. It aims to transform POA theory into practice and provide a great reference for college English reading teaching.

Olfactory dysfunction in COVID-19: pathology and long-term implications for brain health.

Decreased smell function is related to brain health, future mortality, and quality of life. Most people inflicted with the SARS-CoV-2 virus evidence some measurable smell dysfunction during its acute phase, although many are unaware of the loss. Long-term deficits occur in up to 30% of COVID-19 cases, although total anosmia is relatively rare. This review explores what is presently known about the nature and pathophysiology of olfactory dysfunction due to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, including reversible inflammation within the olfactory cleft, downregulation of olfactory receptor proteins, and long-lasting peripheral and central damage to olfactory structures. It also addresses the question as to whether long-term smell loss might increase the likelihood of future development of cognitive and neurological deficits.
