The research encompasses multiple perspectives, including demographic information, teaching practices involving technology, familiarity and opinions regarding OER, types of OER utilized by faculty, ease of searching for OER, a comparison between open and traditional resources, intentions to use OER in the future, and factors deterring the adoption of OER. The study employed a quantitative approach using an online survey questionnaire to gather data. A random sample of faculty members from the University of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia was recruited (n = 139). Using descriptive and MANOVA tests, the findings highlight a preference for blended teaching styles, significant awareness of OER, ease in searching for OER, and a strong intention to use OER in the future. The results emphasize the importance of addressing concerns related to institutional support, intellectual property policies, recognition of contributions, and creating a supportive environment to enhance faculty engagement with OER. The study implications suggest comprehensive and targeted approaches to support faculty members in adopting and utilizing OER effectively, including promoting gender equity, enhancing ease of adoption, considering workload impact, recognizing differences based on teaching experience, tailoring support based on teaching style, and actively promoting the benefits and opportunities of OER.","PeriodicalId":515214,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Education","volume":"3 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141796859","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 an educational innovation with certified research results that can be used and disseminated to benefit development in schools that are the target population on a large scale. The online self–training program consisted of 2 projects: 1) Development Project for Teachers’ Learning with six self-training modules used to develop teachers; and 2) The Project for Teachers to Bring Learning Outcomes into Practice with Students with one self-training module to be used as a guideline for teachers. The results of the experimental research in the first project revealed that among the experimental group of 17 teachers, the learning outcomes had met the standard of the 90/90 criteria. Moreover, the average test scores after the experiment had been significantly higher than before the experiment, according to statistical analysis. In the experimental research of the second project, it was found that among the 510 students involved in the experiment, the average scores from the assessment of perception towards teachers' practices had been significantly higher after the experiment compared to before the experiment. It was found that the research results aligned with the pre-determined research hypotheses, indicating the effectiveness of educational innovations resulting from the research. These findings can be utilized to enhance and cultivate 21st-century skills for teachers in the targeted schools, demonstrating the potential for future research dissemination and application.","PeriodicalId":515214,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Education","volume":"6 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141796896","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}

Using materials in mathematics education is crucial in helping students concretize abstract concepts and relationships, create schemas related to the taught subject, understand the content, apply it, and develop mathematical thinking in a broader context. In mathematics classes for students with hearing loss, teachers often struggle to find ready-made materials suitable for the instructional content and the language, cognitive, and readiness levels of students with hearing loss. Teachers themselves need to prepare instructional materials for students with hearing loss. This study aims to identify and explain the types and characteristics of materials prepared and used by teachers in mathematics classes for 6th-grade students with hearing loss, and to highlight the contributions of these materials to the mathematics teaching process. Research data were collected through materials used in mathematics instruction, lesson plans and evaluations, the researcher's diary, and video recordings of lessons. The collected data were analyzed by using the content analysis method. As a result of the research, support and resources have been provided to teachers and instructional programs to create and use mathematics lesson materials suitable for students with hearing loss.","PeriodicalId":515214,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Education","volume":" 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140382198","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}
