Educational systems worldwide have witnessed a significant shift towards technological applications, especially after COVID-19, which impacted how the learning contents are delivered in classrooms. Given the increased attention given to the numerous advantages of computer Simulations (CSs) programs, particularly in science education, this study compared the efficacy of employing a lab simulation of Newton's Second Law of Motion to teach physics in the UAE secondary school environment versus the more conventional approach (Face-to-face instruction). The study employed a quasi-experimental design that included 90 UAE 11th-grade students from two public schools in the City of Al Ain. The intervention included student engagement in the PhET interactive simulation of Newton’s second law of motion. The study employed the Test of Science-Related Attitudes (TOSRA) questionnaire to collect data before and after the intervention for the experimental and control groups. The findings demonstrated statistically significant differences between experimental and control groups in students' attitudes toward scientific inquiry, enjoyment of science lessons, and career interest in physics/science. Furthermore, results showed a significant difference in attitudes perceived in these scales, with males having a more significant effect size than female students in all three scales. The study concludes with implications and suggests recommendations for future research and practice.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the end of in-person classes at universities and schools and the beginning of digital advancements in higher education. Flipped learning is very different from traditional teaching methods and necessitates some shifts in the roles of the teacher and the student. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of using flipped learning on students' achievement and measure their attitudes towards learning through it during the Corona pandemic period. A quasi-experimental study design was adopted through the pretest and posttest measurements. Two groups were randomly assigned one to be experimental, and the other a control. The present study showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the mean of the pre-measurement and post-measurement tests of the experimental group’s motivation towards learning using the flipped learning strategy. The findings from the quantitative data revealed that flipped learning contributed to the academic success of students and their attitudes toward learning during the corona pandemic period. Hence, further studies with more extended periods are recommended to examine the effect of Flipped learning on self-directed learning and other related variables.

Objective: Bullying of school-aged children is not new and has been well-established as a common and serious problem in society. The aim of the current study is to explore the nature of cyberbullying in a sample of Jordanian adolescents. Method: The study used the quantitative approach and opted for the Delphi Technique, an online survey of adolescents, and an interview-based research approach following with the reviewing of the responses in order to identify the trends and nature of cyberbullying in a sample of Jordanian adolescents. The population sample consists of adolescents from two private schools in Jordan in the Middle East. The combined Adolescents sample of both schools totals approximately 6,000 students. Results: The results of this study reveal that significant numbers of adolescents are sending or receiving sexually explicit photos. The results also suggested that prevalence rates are high in four main categories of cyberbullying. Also, there is a difference in gender and educational level as females are subjected to more incidences of cyberbullying, and 4th grades students have a more significant value of cyberbullying involvement. Conclusion: It is essential to activate the role of the media and education systems in training youths about the risks of cyberbullying to improve adolescent feelings about the value of treating others well and engaging in objective cultural dialogue with them, as well as the strategies for avoiding it.

Technology has significantly transformed knowledge, education, and access to information by introducing online learning platforms, interactive games, and virtual reality simulations in traditional classrooms, creating a dynamic, engaging, and inclusive learning environment. The ChatGBT project (a pre-developed transformer for training) is a remarkable achievement in artificial intelligence technology. It allows students tailored and efficient learning experiences by providing individual feedback and explanations. ChatGPT e-learning platform has been extensively studied for its adoption and acceptance, but there is a significant gap in research on its acceptability and use, highlighting the need for further exploration. The goal of this work is to bridge this disparity by introducing a comprehensive model that includes three basic elements: performance expectation, expected effort, and social impact. A total of 241 graduate students were surveyed and their data were analyzed using structural equation modeling techniques. The results indicate that “expectation of performance and expected effort” have the greatest impact and importance in determining students’ intentions to use learning platforms via ChatGPT, while social influence does not play an important role. This study enhances the current body of knowledge related to artificial intelligence and environmental sustainability, and provides important insights for professionals, policymakers, and producers of artificial intelligence products. These observations may provide guidance for creating and implementing artificial intelligence technologies to match consumers’ needs and preferences more effectively, while also taking into account broader environmental conditions.

The research purpose is to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of special vocabulary and grammar tasks for groups learning English online. The sample consisted of 100 students from Middle Eastern University in Jordan. The scholar used an experimental method and methods of observation, description, comparison and testing to investigate the problem. The results showed that online English learning based on special practical assignments and involving lexical and grammar tasks can improve the level of student’s language knowledge and their conversational skills. The resulting value confirmed the statistically significant difference between the test results and improvements in the experimental group. The research found that the experimental group showed better speaking skills compared to the control group. It is recommended to integrate similar practical tasks into educational curricula to foster quality education and the development of conversational skills among students studying the English language in an online environment. This approach has proved to be advantageous for instructors of professionally oriented English language courses, equipping them with an effective tool to enhance the quality of instruction and facilitate the linguistic aptitude growth of their students. Such a pedagogical format fosters active participation and collaboration among students, potentially contributing to a more profound and well-rounded language acquisition process.

Digital technologies are becoming an integral part of education. This study aims to quantify the effect of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) on student behaviour, welfare and learning using a sample of Jordanian learners engaged in the study of economic disciplines. Data from the questionnaires were analyzed using Student’s t-test. According to the results of the study, participants in the educational process generally recognize the positive effect of BYOD initiatives on learning and support their implementation. Female students reported negative effects of BYOD on their behaviour more often than male students. Combining BYOD with a traditional learning approach was more effective than implementing the BYOD mode alone. Teachers with prior BYOD experience generally rated higher on the learning scale than those using BYOD for the first time. The present findings might be helpful for university teachers and administrators who want to implement a BYOD program; the learning discipline does not matter.

This paper aims to analyse the impact of MOOC-based mobile applications on the learning process, memory development, knowledge sharing, and student motivation to study. The study analyzes the existing electronic educational resources of universities. The study design includes two types of surveys (before and after MOOC-based training). The sample population included 662 students of 1–4 courses. A survey conducted before the training showed that 54% of respondents rated their technical competence level as average, 43% rated it as high, and 3% rated it as low. About 83% of respondents noted that mobile applications and online educational courses have affected their academic performance in learning, memory development, and learning ability. The post-training survey results indicated an improvement in the group performance of students who learned with mobile applications on MOOC platforms. The practical significance of the research is determined by the possibility of using the program based on MOOC mobile applications at different faculties of the university. The paper also supplements existing studies with new data on the impact of learning using MOOCs mobile applications on the educational process.

The research proposes the cognitive semantic analysis of 50 children's blogs. Using cognitive semantic analysis and the experiment method, the research identifies lexical-semantic domains based on the blogs’ concepts. Therefore, it explores the role of culture in children's blogs published by authors from different countries. The cognitive semantic analysis reveals that the key themes in children's blogs are sport, books, entertainment and games, music, fashion, nature and environmental protection, travel and so forth. The sample consists of 625 schoolchildren studied in grades 1, 5, 9 and 11. The research finds there is a cultural component in children's blogs. Future research should focus on the analysis of different blogs, not only for children, but also for adults, and the development of lexical and semantic domains based on key themes and concepts.

The present study examined the perceptions of Jordanian and Greek pre‐service teachers (N = 489) towards the ‘Other’ as well as towards tolerance and intolerance. Frequencies, t‐tests and one‐way analysis of variance, as well as multiple regression analyses, were performed for the data analysis. The results show that although the two national/religious groups differ in terms of fears based on their religious views, when country substitutes religion there are no significant differences. Although differences were found with respect to nationalistic perceptions and global‐mindedness perceptions (globalism), no statistically significant differences were found between the two groups in terms of tolerance and intolerance perceptions. Non‐school books and television played an important role in developing perceptions of tolerance and intolerance.
