Abstract: Although first-year seminars and experiences have been widely considered as a high-impact educational practice, which is used to enhance academic performance, retention, and acquisition of critical 21st Century outcomes, first-year seminars and experiences tend to be loosely defined and assessed in prior studies to highlight its importance in improving the education process as a whole; therefore, this study aims to assess the impact of high-impact educational practices (HIEPs) in preparatory years in Saudi Arabia and international universities, then proposing a plan for efficiently implementing HIEPs in higher education institutions. To achieve that, case-based analysis and the survey analysis method were used wherein qualitative examination of practices in University of California and Indiana University and quantitative assessment of (130) faculty members and students’ perception of Northern Border University was conducted. Case analysis revealed that international universities implement practices suited for their institution and not the stated one i.e., Health Professional Advising Center, undergraduate research programs, or Capital academic internship program in University California, while undergraduate research, service-learning practices, or learning community in Indiana University. Survey analysis on the other hand stated that consisting of the above (20_ years respondents, implementation of core competencies and HIEPs helps in exploring relevant issues and controversies, linking of knowledge and skills, and better students and faculty bond which raise teaching and learning experience. Results revealed that core competencies and HIEPs have a significant influence on the teaching and learning outcomes. As result, an efficient implementation the plan is proposed to activate HIEPs and core competencies in the preparatory year at Saudi universities.

Abstract: During the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, Greek schools were closed, and for the first time in Greece, distance education has been implemented using mostly technological means. This work aims to capture the Greek pupils' perceptions and suggestions on the transition from a face-to-face educational process to a pure distance synchronous and asynchronous education implementation. Data have been collected by 41 pupils via an online questionnaire on a volunteer basis. The purpose of the questionnaire was to identify the pupils' learning challenges and unforeseen benefits connected to the offered distance education. The assessment revealed that the majority of the pupils, although they consider distance education as necessary and useful, do not want to replace the traditional means of education. The pupils suggested that the entire process should be stricter in terms of class schedule, assignment submission, and presence requirements and should be enhanced by incorporating better and more "vivid" e-teaching tools.

Abstract: This study aims at exploring Interactive Videos (IV) used in Flipped Classroom (FC) and their feedback types and Learning Styles (LS) of Talented Students (TS) in developing Personal Knowledge Management Skills (PKMS) and achievement. The study was conducted on 51 STS from Hail Gifted Care Center in KSA, where they divided into four experimental groups depending on their LS and IV’s feedback. The study occurred during the first term of the academic year 2019–2020. In the FC based on IV, no statistical differences between the TF and AF were present in interactive videos on the achievement or PKMS for talented students. Also, no statistical differences between the LS (convergent–distant) in the total PKMS and achievement for STS were present when applying interactive videos–based flipped classrooms, same for statistical interaction effects between the TF–AF, save for some interaction effects in some knowledge management skills (conveying, analysis, organizing). Future research could address the diminishing motivation incurred with the interactive videos-based flipped classrooms. Specifically, how to design IV–based FCs with feedback types that encourage students to develop KPMS.

Abstract: In the challenging Covid-19, and also online education and web-learning expansion conditions, independent and distance forms of student work become especially relevant. As a consequence, the role played by such important parts of the educational process as control and monitoring the knowledge acquisition by students, and also their skills and abilities is growing. In this connection, the need to provide the educational process with a large number of individual variants of tasks, both training tasks and control tests, has increased. In addition, in this case a teacher faces the problem on performing such time-consuming work as quick checking and evaluating a large number of tasks completed by students, and also monitoring their knowledge and skills. To solve these problems, the paper offers an automated method for creating and checking tasks and tests using Mathcad software. Implementation of this method is shown by an example of topics studied in the courses "Econometrics" and "Mathematical Statistics". The author has a patent issued by the Federal Service for Intellectual Property of the Russian Federation for the developed algorithm.

Abstract: The study aimed to identify the relationship between students' knowledge and their attitudes towards using the e-learning platform. As well as to identify the possibility of predicting students' trend towards using the e-learning platform based on their knowledge of using it, their study status (campus/ distance learning), their gender, and their first language. The questionnaires were prepared to measure two main structures, students' knowledge of using the e-learning platform and their attitude towards it. The study sample included students attending a master's and doctoral as part of the British university course process. The sample consisted of 48 students (total students in this course), 29 students on campus (60%), and 19 students in distance learning (40%). The results revealed no correlation between students' knowledge and their attitudes towards using the learning platform. The existence of a positive trend towards the use of the e-learning platform among students registered through the e-learning platform more than the students registered on the university campus, the absence of statistically significant differences attributed to the effect of gender, based on their first language, in terms of predicting students' knowledge and their tendency towards using E-learning platform based on variables (status, gender and first language). It was found that the students' condition is an indicator of the situation that may indicate further study to investigate new factors that may affect students' knowledge and their attitude towards using the e-learning platform.

Abstract: There are huge tons of transactions being accomplished online every day. This implies that e-commerce is facing the problem of data and information overloads. While customers are shopping via websites, they spend a lot of time to search for the required products based on their needs. This problem can easily be alleviated by having an accurate recommendation system based on a strong algorithm and confident measures in this regard. There are two main techniques for products recommendation; content-based filtering and collaborative filtering. If one of these two techniques implemented on the e-commerce system, a lot of limitations and weak points will appear. This paper aims at generating an optimal list of product, which, in turn, generates an accurate and reliable list of items. The new approach is composed of three components; clustering algorithm, user-based collaborative filtering, and the Cosine similarity measure. This approach implemented using a real dataset of past experienced users. The accuracy of the search results is a matter to users, it recommends the most appropriate products to users of the e-commerce website. This approach shows trustworthy results and achieved a high level of accuracy for recommending products to users.

Abstract: Introduction of augmented reality into the E-learning systems brings a new era in personal remote education. While E-learning brings a lot of benefits for both instructor and student it also has various difficulties, such as absence of vital personal interaction that can influence on student motivation and inspiration. To decrease this gap we have started the development of an Interactive Adaptable Learning Interface (IALI) that with the help of speech synthesizers, emotions and voice recognition systems tries to adapt the ongoing E-learning session to the student behavior, simulating the way instructor adapt the lesson to the student reactions. As the IALI is initially planned for Ukrainian language students, we have made a deep analysis of nowadays applicable solutions for Ukrainian speech synthesis and recognition. In this paper we present the conducted analysis and application of the most widely applied speech synthesizers, voice and emotions recognition systems that were used to develop first version of IALI.

Abstract: Social Networking Websites are not only the most widely used tools to facilitate communication in today's digital age, but they are also one of the biggest sources of Big Data. There are of course many benefits of data applications, for both ordinary users and professionals alike, but also there are many risks, that users of Social Networking Sites can face. As users' interest in using Social Networking Websites grows, so does their concern about the risks they pose. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the risks posed by the use of Social Networking Websites to adult users in Greece and examine the behaviors of users that may lead to risk exposure, (behaviors such as Risk Taking, Privacy Behavior, Trust in SNS companies, Privacy Concern, Perceived Control of Information, Information Identity Disclosure will be examined).It will also examine the correlation of user behaviors and exposure to risk and socio-demographic data of users. The results of the present study show that exposure to Risk in SNS is related to gender and also “Privacy Behavior” and “Information Identity Disclosure” are related to Age and Educational Level.

Abstract: Socio-psychological research on the study load and ways of coping with it is provided to university management by a number of valuable information for improving the educational process and expanding counselling services for students. The aim of the article is to supplement the general knowledge of the structure of the study load and ways of managing it in a specific area of study such as the study of a military university. The article informs about the results of a pilot research carried out on a sample of 254 first-year students of economic-managerial and technical specialization of military studies. The main goal of this research was primarily to verify whether the biggest burden is still the greatest burden on students and military management. Military students differ significantly in their preferred workload management strategies from their civilian counterparts. Data were collected using the usual method for this type of research – the method of questioning, which was implemented through two questionnaires: Questionnaire of stressful situations and standardized questionnaire Stress Management Strategy – SVF 78. The first questionnaire was created for this research based on analogy of available questionnaire from a school environment for research in the civilian environment of lower education levels. The results were processed using the program STATISTICS CZ 12, evaluated using relevant statistical methods (Anova, Mann-Whitney test). Based on the results, the validity of the general assumption could not be proved, as the greatest burden of probands saw in the organizational provision only parts of military education, for which the specific organizational unit of the school is responsible. Positive findings include a preference for positive strategies for managing the military study load over negative ones, in which military students agree with civilian students. For military students, compared to the assumptions, statistically significant differences in the use of some strategies depending on gender were demonstrated; differences depending on the field of study could not be demonstrated. Despite the local validity of specific results, the text can be beneficial for a wider academic environment both in the field of methodology and knowledge.

Abstract: This study quantitatively analyzes the risk communication contents of the human Monkey pox epidemic in 2017 as reported in selected Nigeria’s national newspapers (The Guardian, Punch, This day and Vanguard). Framing theory and Issue-attention cycle model formed the theoretical foundation of the study. Data for this study was obtained through the census method. Thus, all the daily editions of the selected newspapers within the study period were searched and reports on the monkey pox epidemic found were content-analyzed. Findings indicate that monkey pox reports were placed in less prominent positions as straight news within the selected tabloids. Tension and controversy were key reportorial approaches to monkey pox happenstances nationwide. Reports on precautionary measures against the spread of the monkey pox virus were few. However, delayed and lethargic reports of the monkey pox epidemic were found in all the selected tabloids. This study contributes to empirical evidence on the delay in communicating health risk and the unsatisfactory reportage of infectious diseases outbreaks in Nigeria, contrary to global concerns of promoting good health and wellbeing for all. Therefore, as zoonotic diseases such as monkey pox continue to re-emerge all-around the globe, the study recommends that the news media should prioritize infectious diseases prevention as part of their risk communication advocacy to reduce vector interactions with human and nonstop daily updates during public health emergencies through the news media to increase trust in public health officials and the response efficiency.

Abstract: Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) constitutes a severe threat to the social well-being of not only children but extends to their families, societies. In response to the global challenge of reducing the growing effect of CSA, this study investigated the use of information sources on child sexual abuse in Ogun State. The study further tested two hypothesis to find out if communication channels for child sexual abuse education has no significant influence on the knowledge of the residents of Ogun State as well as Communication channels for child sexual abuse has no significant influence on the perception of residents of Ogun State. The study revealed that residents of Ogun state Nigeria depended on the internet as an information source for child sexual abuse. In addition, it was revealed that communication channels for child sexual abuse has significant influence on the knowledge and perception of the residents of Ogun State. Consequent upon these findings, the study recommends an urgent development of advocacy messages against CSA in form of edutainment, drama, songs that will fit the new media platform.

Abstract: This research paper is an exploratory study on the uses of hologram technology in educational theaters in Egyptian schools. Considering theater as one of the instructional methods adopted by the Egyptian Ministry of Education in the school curricula, and as an accredited school activity within a group of other educational activities. The introduction provides an overview of holographic technology and predicts its future in student learning. It further outlines educational activities that have become heavily dependent on technology in training and application, with the simplistic definition of 3D technology and 3D imaging explained. The literature review presents publications in hologram technology and related publications, explaining the different concepts of holographic, virtual, and augmented reality. The applicability of these concepts is elucidated, especially in theater activity as an educational tool in schools and educational institutions. Besides, the research focuses on the educational theater in Egypt, and the use of technology as a supportive means of achieving the goals of educational activities that may apply to exceptional capabilities and requirements. Modern technology using hologram may provide solutions to basic requirements for the stage, lighting arts, decoration, and theatrical illusions to achieve the goals of theatrical performances for educational purposes. The study used a sample size of 400 individuals represented as those responsible for performing theater activity in several schools in four different governorates in Egypt. The study results showed the impact of holographic technology in Egyptian school theaters and future challenges that may hinder the implementation of holographic technology in educational theatres, making references to previous studies on the topic. In its conclusions, the study addressed the funding gap and other challenges facing the implementation of hologram technology in educational theaters in Egypt.

Abstract: Microcontrollers are inside all areas of industry today. They are being used in many electronic circuit designs, ranging from very simple systems to highly complex systems. For that reason, microcontrollers have a great importance in the electronics sector. Microcontrollers are especially important in terms of students enrolled in engineering departments in the fields of computers, electrical engineering, electronics, and mechatronics. Experimental sets and simulation programs are used in the learning and teaching of microcontrollers in real-world simulations. In this study, a 16F877 microcontroller training set, designed for use in microcontroller courses, was used. The designed training kit allows experimentation with the 16F877 microcontroller circuits as a subprogram of the Proteus program of Lab center Electronics, which is electronic circuit drawing in Proteus ISIS (Intelligent Schematic Input System) simulation software tested in a real environment. The microcontroller basic hardware connections and the application circuits on the training kit were implemented as modules similar to the ISIS program drawings. Transition from the simulation environment to the real-life environment can be done easily by using these modules, and the information learned in this way becomes concrete.

Abstract: In the article, the application of modern MEMSaccelerometers to evaluate driver training is discussed. Data froma transport experiment with Tatra 815 on a training polygonconsisting of 4 types of surfaces were used, and the drivercompleted 4 individual laps. The tested parameters showedstatistically significant differences between selected laps andsurfaces (sections) depending on the driving style and the averagespeed. It is clear from the evaluation of the ride that the driver isgradually improving when driving on the polygon, as assumed.However, from a certain moment the magnitude of generatedshocks exceeds normatively determined values. The design partdetermines specific requirements on driving characteristics of adriver during a driver training.

Abstract: The study aims to assess the impact of interactive and linear video on learning effectiveness of undergraduate informatics students with different predominant learning styles (visual, aural, read/write and kinesthetic style). The students in different treatment groups (learning with interactive vs. linear video) have achieved very good learning outcomes and those who used interactive videos achieved better learning outcomes. The impact of the kinesthetic predominant learning style on learning with interactive videos was not evident, i.e. the predominant learning style of the undergraduate informatics students did not affect their success, regardless of the type of video.
