The study relied on the descriptive approach and used a questionnaire to collect data. The questionnaire consisted of 29 techniques to support students’ engagement, divided into three main categories: engagement among students, engagement between student and teacher, and engagement between students and educational content. The questionnaire was distributed electronically after verifying its validity and reliability. The study sample consisted of 405 male and female students in middle and high school in Riyadh. The finding indicated that students saw the importance of all the techniques to support their engagement in computer science online learning, and the student-teacher engagement techniques were the most important for students, followed by the student-content engagement techniques, then the student-student engagement techniques. In addition, the results indicated that there were statistically significant differences in the average of sample’s responses related to the variable of gender in favor of females; and related to the variable of educational stage in favor of the high school. The study recommended the importance of paying attention to the engagement techniques in online learning environment generally because of their great importance for both male and female students, and the need to develop teacher preparation programs in line with the modern trends towards online learning.\u0000\u0000Keywords: Engagement Techniques, online learning, computer science","PeriodicalId":368892,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal for Research in Education","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129983541","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 study utilized a qualitative approach with a descriptive analytical design, where semi-structured interviews were created and conducted with three age groups: three adult learners who studied before technological development, five secondary school students, and four tertiary university students. Research results revealed the persistence of some traditional learning habits among school students, the development of study habits linked to modern technological means, and the development of modern technical skills such as Internet search. Some factors affecting learning habits appeared; specifically, the nature of the study task, teaching strategies, and student specialization. Some digital skills have been diagnosed for each category, like online searching skills, staying connected to networks, communication skills, the skills of self-organization, and the control of smart devices.

Nevertheless, it takes six years of systematic exposure to standard Arabic to close the linguistic gap between students’ oral and written language in terms of phonemes, letters, and phonological and morphological patterns. Conversely, the syntactic gap remains wide during the first five years of formal education.

It also aimed to explore the factors that might affect the extent of satisfaction, such as gender, academic year, and the nationality of the academic advisor. To achieve these aims, the researchers developed an academic advising satisfaction survey. The survey consisted of three sub-scales, namely, satisfaction with the advisor's competence and information, satisfaction with the advisor's interest and enthusiasm, and satisfaction with the ease of communication with the advisor. The survey was distributed to a sample of 490 undergraduate students (248 males and 242 females) during the COVID-19 period in the Spring 2021 semester. The study results showed that the students were highly satisfied with the competence and information of the academic advisors. At the same time, they expressed moderate levels of satisfaction with the advisors' interest and enthusiasm and the ease of communication with the advisors. The results also revealed that students supervised by Omani faculty members are more satisfied with academic advising than students supervised by non-Omani faculty members.
