This current research has focused on the relationship between overeducation and happiness in educational postgraduate masters and doctoral graduates. The aim of the research is to define this relationship positively and negatively. To achieve this, the two researchers used a descriptive approach. The research sample consisted of (264) master’s and PhD degrees in educational sciences. After obtaining the sample views, the data were processed statistically using arithmetical mean and standard deviation and the statements of resolution were then arranged according to the arithmetic mean. The research yielded several results, the most important of which was that the views of the sample varied according to three choices (large, medium and small). Based on the foregoing findings. The research recommends the following: Conducting similar research applied to large samples of various pedagogical disciplines. More material support for postgraduate students (while in school) and incentives for them, as the cost of schooling is not commensurate with the return, which is a hindrance to enrollment in postgraduate studies. Work to increase the financial return from obtaining a degree in proportion to the expenditure on if. To invest the impaired potential of educational graduate students, especially those with a degree, who did not have career opportunities commensurate with their degree. Offer career opportunities at the master’s doctoral levels and give them priority in applying for senior leadership positions to benefit from their expertise.

nouf Ali almoray — Sun, 15 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The study aims to identify plans for employing artificial intelligence in the educational process through a qualitative approach. The research sample included seven educational systems that achieved high results according to the international evaluation of the program. (2018 PISA) These countries are: the United States of USA, Singapore, Estonia, Germany, Finland, Ireland, and Australia

The study found that most educational systems do not have a specific concept of artificial intelligence in the educational process, and there are practical applications at the local level only, and teachers are trained on how to employ artificial intelligence applications in the classroom environment through professional development programs and developing educational programs for students based on intelligence. Artificial intelligence is based on their special needs and provides them with programs that support their learning and employ the use of data in decision-making. It shows the importance of stakeholder participation, and the researcher suggests the need to develop a clear concept of educational artificial intelligence in strategic plans through consultation with stakeholders and provide professional development programs for teachers and circulate them to Professional learning communities.

This Article is Retracted for publishing in another Journal

Classrooms are the factories where students are created, enhanced, become a better person than a mediocre or less mediocre human, learn ethics and morality, gather specific knowledge, and make themselves ready for what they want to be and how to reflect themselves in the mirror of the world according to their goals and desires. For this reason, the scope of education is very widespread. Furthermore, the application of different topics and courses in the life of a human is not the same at various ages of their life. To make education effective, it is highly necessary to apply the things that suit people appropriately with their appeal, necessity, and exact age. This research paper is based on the logical explanation of the definitions of education, classroom and its components, knowledge and skill, figures for apparent understanding, the elaboration of educational phases of human life, the ways to ensure an effective classroom, and finally, the composition of an operative teacher and a dutiful student.

The aim of this research is to determine the effectiveness of sports activities included in the mathematics textbook for the eighth grade from the perspective of the teachers who implemented these activities during their teaching process. To achieve the study's goal, the researcher reviewed educational literature and extracted the theoretical framework for this study. This was also utilized in designing the research tool, which is a questionnaire based on a five-point Likert scale. After implementing validity procedures, the final number of items was 23 out of an initial 27 items. The reliability coefficient, according to Cronbach's alpha, was 0.841, which is suitable for the purposes of the study and research.
The study sample consisted of 72 teachers from government, UNRWA, and private schools in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The sample was chosen intentionally through the voluntary response of the participants to the questionnaire items. The results of the study showed varying degrees of effectiveness regarding the activities included in the mathematics textbook from the teachers' perspectives. There were no statistically significant differences attributed to the variables of gender and years of experience. However, there were statistically significant differences based on the type of supervising authority, favoring government and UNRWA schools over private schools. Based on the study results, the researcher recommended increasing the effectiveness of some activities that were below the mean score on the five-point Likert scale.

This study aimed to describe and compare cognitive activation practices designed to enhance students' mathematical reasoning in Saudi Arabia (KSA), the United States (USA), the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Singapore. It also explored the impact of these practices on students' mathematical literacy development in each country. Using a causal-comparative methodology, the research examined student scores from the PISA 2022 mathematical literacy assessments, alongside responses to specific questionnaire items on teachers' cognitive activation practices aimed in fostering mathematical reasoning.

The findings revealed statistically significant differences in the implementation of cognitive activation practices across the countries studied. Saudi Arabia demonstrated significantly lower levels of these practices compared to the other nations, while the UAE exhibited significantly higher levels. No statistically significant differences were observed between the USA and Singapore in this regard. Moreover, the results indicated that all cognitive activation practices had a predictive effect on the variance in mathematical literacy among students in each country\. Notably, certain practices exhibited a negative impact on mathematical literacy in some countries while contributing positively in others.

Abdulrahman Olwi — Sun, 15 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This research study examines the balance between the native language and English language at international schools that offer bilingual education. The performance in language standardized testing has been analyzed to learn more about students’ language skills in terms of language skills (i.e., foundational, literacy and literature, and vocabulary use) compared to what is expected at their ages. The gender, educational level, the kind of language course (i.e., language use and reading) were considered to examine whether bilingualism leads them to proficiency or distraction. Random dataset samples of a total of 1131 students from different international schools offering bilingual K-12 have been collected for this research study. A Chi-square analysis was run to examine the correlation between gender, educational levels, and the taken courses from one side and vocabulary use scores, foundational skills scores, and literacy and literature scores from another side. The results showed that female students at bilingual schools are more likely to have low scores, elementary school students are more likely to have low scores, and students in reading are more likely to have low scores.

achraf Abdulkader mouradi, Mohammed Abdullah LATRACH — Sun, 15 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The aim of this study is to shed light on Islamic educational thought, especially at the pedagogical level, so that it can be one of the tributaries used to guide educational action in our present reality. This is because the general observation on most of what is written in this field focuses on what was produced by the West, as if the scholars of this nation during more than fourteen centuries were completely oblivious to the field of education. There is hardly any mention of what our scholars have written, except in the form of a cursory reference or a faint hint.
