Senior high schools in Ghana were, however, not asked to do same, currently, the setting of most literature on blended or online learning in Ghana is focused on tertiary education. This paper situates the blended learning model in a less endowed senior high school to unearth the prospect of its implementation. The research provides an alternative to the traditional face-to-face learning, which is faced with the challenge of inadequate infrastructure, high number of students to class ratio, less compatibility with 21st learning skills and long-life learning in Ghana. A customed Moodle application as web application tool, hosted students online in both synchronous and asynchronous interactions. Purposive quota sampling size technique was used to select an appreciable sample size to fully go through the traditional face-face model for a term and then study through the blended learning model for another term. Students’ examination performances for both were analyzed with a paired t test statistical model. Interviews with participants were conducted to ascertain their evaluation of the blended learning model and questionnaires were also administered to discover the institutional, technological, and human resource readiness for blended learning in senior high schools. The analysis of the data gathered, proved that blended learning in senior high schools has high prospect and is better alternative to face-to-face learning in Ghana.","PeriodicalId":36486,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Modern Education and Computer Science","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135252453","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}

This has resulted the proliferation of cybercrimes and the theft of personal data via social media, e-mail, and phishing websites that are similar to the websites commonly used to grab user data details like that of a credit card or login ID. Phishing, a prevalent form of cybercrime, poses a danger to online security through the theft of personal information, and with the emergence of the COVID-19 virus, which has led to people and organizations being drawn towards the Internet and many people and companies being forced to work remotely, it has led to an increase in the existing phishing threats. Previously, hackers took advantage of the situation to infiltrate the devices of people and companies in numerous ways, which caused huge financial losses and damage to organizations. Based on previous results and research, Machine Learning (ML) is selected by researchers as an efficient method for identifying malicious software web pages from original web pages. This paper presents 30 characteristics of websites, which are analyzed using a correlation matrix to determine the relationship between variables. Feature selection is performed through a wrapper method and Extra Tree Classifiers (ETC) to identify the top-ranked characteristics (Features) for website classification. To evaluate web pages, various machine learning techniques such as Random Forest Tree (RF), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), Decision Tree (DT), and Support Vector Machine (SVM) are used. The results of monitoring indicate that MLP, a deep neural network, outperforms all other techniques in terms of performance.","PeriodicalId":36486,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Modern Education and Computer Science","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135252456","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}

This paper proposes a learning approach called the Gallery-walk integrated Project-Based Learning (G-PBL) which can develop students’ lifelong learning skills that are extremely crucial for Computer Science students. The G-PBL was designed by incorporating the advantages of Project-Based Learning (PBL) and gallery walk learning strategy. In contrast to traditional PBL where students may present their project work to instructors only, students have to present their project work to their classmates as part of the G-PBL approach. All students are required to evaluate their peers’ project work and then give feedback and suggestions. For the research experiments, the G-PBL was implemented as an instructional approach in two Computer Science related courses. This study focuses on exploring the differences in knowledge gain, learning motivation, and perceived usefulness when learning by using the teacher-centered and G-PBL approach. Moreover, the impact of gender differences on learning outcomes is also investigated. The results reveal that using the G-PBL approach helps students to gain more knowledge significantly, for both male and female students. In terms of motivation, female students are more favorable toward the G-PBL approach. On the contrary, male students prefer learning via a teacher-centered approach. Regarding the perceived usefulness, female students strongly view the G-PBL as a highly effective learning approach, whereas male students are more prone to concur that the teacher-centered approach is a more effective learning method.","PeriodicalId":36486,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Modern Education and Computer Science","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135252461","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}

This symbiotic understanding between machines and human languages, powered by technological advancements like Natural Language Processing and artificial intelligence, has revolutionized the dynamics of human-computer interaction. The complexity of emotion detection, although challenging, has surged in importance across diverse domains, encompassing customer service, healthcare, and surveillance of social media interactions. Within the realm of text analysis, the quest for accurate emotion detection necessitates a profound exploration of cutting-edge methodologies. This pursuit is further intensified by the imperative to fortify models against adversarial attacks, a pressing concern in deep learning-based approaches. To address this critical challenge, this paper introduces a pioneering technique—adversarial transfer learning—specifically tailored for emotion classification in text analysis. By infusing adversarial training into the model architecture, the proposed approach emerges a solution that not only mitigates the vulnerabilities of existing methods but also fortifies the model against adversarial intrusions. In realizing the potential of the proposed approach, a diverse array of datasets is harnessed for comprehensive training. The empirical results vividly demonstrate the efficacy of this approach, showcasing its superior performance when compared to state-of-the-art methodologies. Notably, the suggested approach yields in advancements in classification accuracy. In particular, the deployment of the Adversarial transfer learning methodology has increased in accuracy of 17.35%. This study, therefore, encapsulates a dual achievement: the introduction of an innovative approach that leverages adversarial transfer learning for emotion classification, and the subsequent empirical validation of its unparalleled efficiency. The implications reverberate across multiple sectors, extending the horizons of accurate emotion detection and laying a foundation for the next stride in human-computer interaction and emotion analysis.","PeriodicalId":36486,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Modern Education and Computer Science","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135252451","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 model is then evaluated over two datasets (Reddit Dataset1 & Twitter Dataset2) that include varied number of tweets. The pre-processing of the data and feature extraction is carried out to get cleaned text and vector corpus. The proposed HOMESTACK algorithm is then applied over training data using four base classifiers as Support Vector, Random Forest, K-Nearest Neighbor and CatBoost along with a Meta classifier as Logistic Regression. The testing data is then fed to the tuned model to compare the classification results and analysis. Also, Stacking and Blending ensemble frameworks and algorithms are proposed in this study. Execution time and metric evaluation are calculated in respect of Accuracy, Precision, Recall and F1-score.

In addition, reflective practice (RP) has taken on more importance with this discourse on professionalization in nursing training settings. In this respect, reflection on practice is considered both as a competence of the professional teacher and upstream, in initial or continuing training, it is a tool for building one’s professional identity that can promote one’s professional development. From this perspective, this study aims to study the impact of reflexive practice on 235 teachers working at the level of 23 ISPITS (Higher Institute of Nursing Professions and Health Technologies) of the Kingdom of Morocco, by means of a questionnaire, whose internal validity has been approved, transmitted through the Google Forms platform. As such, this quantitative study will focus on two strands the 1st aims to study the existence of an impact of reflective practice on the professionalization of teaching within Moroccan ISPITS. The second objective is to study the nature of a possible relationship between the professionalization of teaching by the RP and the strengthening of the professional identity of ISPITS teachers. The results of this study show a positive impact of RP on the professionalization of nursing education; in addition, statistical tests have shown that there is a strong correlation between the professionalization of teaching in ISPITS and the strengthening of the professional identity of nursing teachers. Also, this study could contribute to improving other vocational training. In addition, consideration of occupational identity, as well as the relationship between it and its interactive experience with others and in varied environments that elicit reflective feedback on its professional practice, are likely to promote the professional development of each practitioner. The teacher's use of reflexivity is inseparable from his identity work. It will undoubtedly lead to the professionalization of training. In this perspective, similar studies can be carried out to deepen this theme and enhance their interventions.","PeriodicalId":36486,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Modern Education and Computer Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41484825","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}

However, the development process does not take into account accessibility, universal design and inclusion, especially for the deaf student community. An extended reality model is proposed for the creation of this type of software as a tool to support access to knowledge, based on information gathering, requirements analysis, user-centred design and video game programming, including the ludic and didactic. The aim is to minimise the barriers that limit the learning of programming logic by students with hearing disabilities through the use of new technologies, creating spaces in virtual worlds that are understandable, usable and practical in conditions of safety, comfort and as much autonomy as possible. To validate the model, a mixed reality software prototype was designed and programmed to train students in programming logic, both deaf and hearing. User and heuristic tests were carried out, showing how immersion can improve knowledge acquisition processes and develop skills in higher education students.","PeriodicalId":36486,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Modern Education and Computer Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48529277","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 globe today, there are no common guidelines or principles for astrological prediction. Rather than setting universal principles and criteria for astrological prediction, astrologers focus on providing high-quality services to individuals but there is no guarantee of accuracy. Machine learning is providing the best result for analysis and prediction on many applications by the learning of computers. Prediction and classification make it possible for any learner to work on large, noisy, and complex datasets. The main motive of the paper is to introduce a scientific approach that reduces the drawback of the traditional approach and indicates the universal rules of prediction and proves the validity of astrology by the three classification techniques, Naïve Bayes, Logistic-R, and J48. It is a part of supervision learning that operates with cross-validation 10,12, and 14fold for calculating the terms 1) correctly classified instances (CCI), erroneously categorized instances (ECI), Mean absolute error (MAE), Root mean squared error (RMSE), and Relative absolute error (RAE). 2) True Positive Rate, False Positive Rate, Precision, and F-Measure values. 3) The MCC, ROC, and PRC area values. 4) To calculate the average weight of the three-class label professor, businessman, and doctor in terms of true positive rate, false-positive rate, precision, F-measure, PRC, and ROC area, 5) finally, we calculated the accuracy of each classification technique and compare which provide the better result.
