The primary concern for surfactant foam in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is its foam stability. The applications of surfactant-nanoparticles mixture for foam stabilisation have been increased significantly because of the combined role of nanoparticles (NPs) and surfactant in the mechanism of foam stabilisation. This paper focuses on enhancing the aqueous foam stability by NPs and respective mechanisms of the aqueous foam stability. Nanoparticles have unique physical and chemical properties, so they alter the surface and rheological properties of the fluid system. It is the outcome of various research that nanoparticles adhere to the gas-liquid interface of the foam to improve foam stability. Therefore, NPs can enhance the stability of surfactant-stabilised foams. The use of nanoparticles increases foam stability, but its drawbacks cannot be ignored. Probable, the synthesis and production technique of nanoparticles is steeply-priced, which have to be made cheap using cutting-edge technology.","PeriodicalId":23766,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Chemical Education","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78391477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To collect qualitative data, classroom observation and semi-structured interviews were employed as data collection methods whereas for analyzing the data, a thematic analysis technique was used. The findings of the study evidently suggest that negotiation for meaning pedagogy helps students to know their writing mistakes and correct them through oral interaction with teachers; however, it is difficult for teachers to apply this strategy in virtual classrooms for several reasons. The findings further suggest that it is not possible to use the negotiation for meaning pedagogy with low-level students. The final challenge that hinders the application of negotiation for meaning pedagogy is time constraints. Based on the findings, the study puts forward recommendations for EFL teachers and suggests further research on the subject.","PeriodicalId":23766,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Chemical Education","volume":"2013 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86483587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All aspects of our life, whether personal, social, professional, or academic have been affected. Considering this, teachers, education authorities and students will have to reevaluate our tasks and roles as key participants in the education process. This quantitative and exploratory study aims to know the opinion of a non-probabilistic sample of 46 professors and 43 students of six different majors in a public Mexican university, regarding the change in the teaching modality as a result of the global pandemic, in order to point out the impact this change has had on the teaching and learning processes, as well as on the emotional health of the samples. It was found that teachers introduced new technologies in their courses to interact, present content, and collaborate. Students had to adapt to the new modality and the challenges implied in online learning. Both populations expressed those considerable changes in the daily routines occurred as well as a significant increase in the time dedicated to work and study. Similarly, the study revealed that learners experienced a negative impact of these conditions on their academic performance. It is also concluded that in order to be able to determine the efficacy of the implementation of Information and Communication Technologies and the actual impact of the emotional state of the population on the learning and teaching process, further research will be necessary.","PeriodicalId":23766,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Chemical Education","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84782440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Taking advantage of the technological affordances, many universities and colleges implemented the online learning modality. However, teachers and students found themselves overwhelmed with issues of quality assurance and outcomes of online teaching and learning. In this descriptive research study, the university students’ feedback on their engagement and satisfaction in the online mathematics courses was analyzed to get a perspective on successful online learning implementation. The mediation analysis on the responses of 512 university students on a 35-item researcher-made questionnaire showed that the university students were engaged and satisfied with their online mathematics courses. The design factor had a significant effect on learner engagement and satisfaction. The human factor has a significant impact on learner engagement but no significant effect on learner satisfaction. The structural equation model further revealed that learner engagement fully mediates the relationship between human factor and learner satisfaction while partially mediating the relationship between design and learner satisfaction. The results strongly assert the need for efficient and effective instructor knowledge and facilitation, more significant class interaction, and engaging use of technology in online mathematics courses to increase learner satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":23766,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Chemical Education","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86840392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
