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.

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.
