The study reviewed the elements of the effectiveness of distance learning through the verification of the elements of the efficiency of distance education. It used descriptive curricula based on a questionnaire of 29 items distributed over six axes and applied to a random sample of 380 Saudi university students. The key results of the study were as follows. The efficiency of distance education in light of the spread of COVID-19 in Saudi universities was achieved with a degree ranging from medium to very high from the students’ point of view, as the necessary elements for distance education were achieved. In addition, the part of policies, regulations, and ethics in the field of distance education was completed to a high degree, reaching an average of 4.006. Providing the appropriate technology to accomplish the tasks required was achieved to a high degree as well with an average of 3.846. The study recommended that Saudi universities provide training programs to clarify the policies, regulations, and ethics of distance education through electronic education platforms and the Deanship of University Development.","PeriodicalId":350338,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Educational Sciences","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123142548","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}

The tool is used to detect a difference in means of 3 or more independent groups. It compares the means of the samples or groups in order to make inferences about the population means. It can be construed as an extension of the independent t-test. Given the omnibus nature of ANOVA, it appears that most researchers in social sciences and its related fields have difficulties in reporting and interpreting ANOVA results in their studies. This paper provides detailed processes and steps on how researchers can practically analyse and interpret ANOVA in their research works. The paper expounded that in applying ANOVA in analysis, a researcher must first formulate the null and in other cases alternative hypothesis. After the data have been gathered and cleaned, the researcher must test statistical assumptions to see if the data meet those assumptions. After this, the researcher must then do the necessary statistical computations and calculate the F-ratio (ANOVA result) using a software. To this end, the researcher then compares the critical value of the F-ratio with the table value or simply look at the p-value against the established alpha. If the calculated critical value is greater than the table value, the null hypothesis will be rejected and the alternative hypothesis is upheld.","PeriodicalId":350338,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Educational Sciences","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122417644","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}

Generally teachers lack of motivation to use ICT in English teaching and some elder teachers are afraid of it.

In this paper, we focus on teachers’ ICT Implementation which acts as an important role that directly influences students’ English performance. Also, 21st century learning skill is introduced to help us more understand ICT. The paper will explore the language teachers’ ICT implementation in English class in China by investigating the reasons behind why they seldom use ICT.

Despite the large use of MANOVA in research studies, most research practitioners within the educational research trail still face difficulties in reporting and meaningfully interpreting MANOVA results. In analysis, multivariate analysis of variance tests for two or more independent variables and two or more dependent variables. In practice, the one-way multivariate analysis of variance is used to determine whether there are any differences between independent groups on more than one continuous dependent variable. This paper provides a data driven example of reporting and interpreting presentation of multivariate analysis of variance for consumers of research by capitalizing on how it can be reported and interpreted using the APA format. In the paper, the researcher used an example data-driven set throughout the write up to illustrate how MANOVA is reported and interpreted in educational studies. The paper emphasized that if researchers do not run the statistical tests on assumptions of using MANOVA correctly, the accrued results that will be might not be valid. These could therefore have structural effects on the conclusions and implications that will be drawn from the analysis. The paper concludes with remarks that throws more lights and emphasis on the relevant and consequent implications of using MANOVA in educational studies.","PeriodicalId":350338,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Educational Sciences","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126445360","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}

In this paper, I construct a model of education externalities based on the concept of education capital, and show that it is education capital, not human capital, that generates education externalities. Unlike human capital, the effects of education capital have upper bounds because there is a division of labor (i.e., there are specialists). The uncovered mechanism of education externalities has the potential to provide many valuable insights for educational institutions and policy. For example, elementary schools should basically be compulsory, but whether education (not research) in universities should be subsidized by governments may depend on the degree of generosity of high-income people.","PeriodicalId":350338,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Educational Sciences","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132355524","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}

It is obvious that a good teacher must be a person with a rich, well-founded scientific training, clearly superior to the level at which he teaches. This paper seeks to provide an overview of current trends in the development of mathematics teaching, especially in the current context of the pandemic, when teaching is done mainly online. The aim is to highlight the differences, advantages and disadvantages, between teaching mathematics under normal conditions, offline and online teaching.
