THE IMPACT OF ECONOMIC PARADIGMS ON TEACHING BUSINESS ENGLISH
Authors: Museanu Elena
Published: February 2023

The paper focuses on the impact of economic paradigms on teaching business English. We made up paradigmatic methods beginning from a number of common traits, which are prioritary in the meaning structure. Another distinctive traits are added to the above mentioned traits and the identification of these significant traits is needed for a proper definition, which is a very useful tool in the teaching process of the English business terms. The analysed material showed that there is not easy to make the economic paradigms. Thus, in most definitions for the economic terms, one can notice the conceptual interference with other economic terms. This aspect hinders the identification of common and distinctive traits. The identification of the difficulties to divide the selected economic terms in lexical-semantic paradigms has relevant variations (see ENTERPRISE, FIRM, COMPANY, CORPORATION or TITLE, BOND, SHARE). The semic analysis of the selected paradigms outlines the importance of the relation between the lexicographic and the terminographic definition to decode the specialised meaning. In many cases we noticed the lexicographic definitions are not clear, because they offer insufficient dates. For this reason, sometimes general dictionaries are not recommended in teaching economic terms because they are not updated or the definitions lack a lot of important details about economic terms. Nevertheless, we noticed that in other dictionaries (DEXI, NDU) the definitions for the ecomic terms are close to the terminographic definitions because they contain not only relevant economic details but also necessary information for the teaching process and the students’ further understanding. On the other hand, the lexicographic definitions, unlike the terminographic ones, indicate the polisemy of the economic terms , thus warning the non specialists on the risks of ambiguity. The analysis on texts is significant because it shows that not all the terms of a paradigm are updated similarly. In other cases, the updates in texts have a great dynamics which sporadically neutralises the distinctive traits in a paradigm.

Authors: Unknown Unknown
Published: February 2023

The interest towards the quality of school and academic learning in the new formal and informal education environments has significantly increased, as well as that towards applying the modern research data from the psychology of education, education sciences, neuro epistemology etc. Such issues can consistently be found on the agenda of international organizations and of the decision factors responsible for the sustainable future of the new generations of pupils and young people. The introduction of the forming of the learning competency, of efficient self management at EU level paradigm cannot disregard curricular values, the use of interdisciplinary and cross curricular strategies approaches in education institutions. Hence, the need for examining the current context, the stage reached in the reference domain or by certain prestigious scientific research, whose impact is either direct, or indirect on the understanding, valorization and optimization of pupils’ and/or students’ learning. The arguments invoked are connected with the nature of challenges waiting for answers, with the quality of certain working hypotheses or with the ecological validity of empirical research results.

Authors: Richiteanunastase Elenaramona , Staiculescu Camelia , Cace Corina
Published: February 2023

The challenges of living in a world of constant change and insecure environments, the stress of looking for a job and finding one that fits and motivates you is a stressful search for a student or a graduate. Offering a helping hand to students and graduates through counselling services appears to be the best idea so far.
According to the 5th key message of the Memorandum of Lifelong Learning (Brussels, 2002) – Rethinking guidance and counselling, a new approach is needed to make counselling a better, more accessible service. This message together with the need to offer help to students and graduates suggests that counselling services should use more accessible channels to youth, like Internet. The online career counselling services offer a more attractive and facile manner of finding information about the world of careers and employment opportunities, a better way of knowing yourself and putting yourself in a good light, a easy manner of receiving a piece of advice – in fact a more pragmatic manner of learning about self and self-career using the internet.
Learning mediated by internet, internet learning or e-learning how it is called today offer many possibilities for career counselling of students and graduate.
In this paper we shall analyse the theoretical and practical challenges concerning this topic and we also present a research conducted to see the development of the Romanian e-counselling services offered to students and graduate in terms of mission, methods of counselling, proposed activities and available resources and so on. In the end we shall try to suggest a few ways of development of these services.
DEVELOPING ASSESSMENT PRACTICES THROUGH THE USE OF BLOGS IN HIGHER EDUCATION: AN INNOVATIVE EXPERIENCE IN THE OPEN UNIVERSITY OF CATALONIA
Authors: Romero Marc , Cabrera Nati , Ion Georgeta , Cano Elena
Published: February 2023

Since the apparition of the term Web 2.0, web technologies have evolved into user-centered tools, allowing users to generate their own content and disseminate it trough the web. Blogs have become, in the last years, one of the most known web 2.0 tools and a common form of expression for the users of the Internet; being aware of that, teachers are using blogs as learning and teaching tools.
The Bologna process signifies an important change in the education paradigm. The competencies based design and assessment is only one of the aspects have changed, but perhaps one of the most critical. However, are our students aware of its competencies acquisition? Do they actually reflect on their own learning process?
For all these reasons, a research group led by the University of Barcelona proposes to carry out the project called “Formative competency based assessment through blogs”. This project consists in the design, implementation and evaluation of a blog-based model for the students’ assessment based on competencies. One of the project’s main aims is to promote the potential of blogs as an assessment space for students in Higher Education. We have implemented the model in six universities and in different faculty degrees: pedagogy, social education, engineering, communication and Catalan literature.
We will deep into one of these experiences carried out in the “ICT Competences” course of the Catalan literature program degree of the Open University of Catalonia (UOC). In this course, our students must develop a collaborative research project in small groups. Blog is used as a platform for their reflection about the group’s learning process and about their competencies’ acquisition.
Four gathering information tools were designed during this research project: two questionnaires (one for the students and another for the teachers), a content analysis template (to analyze each blog\\\\\\\'s content) and a teacher’s feedback analysis template. This paper presents the results based on the questionnaires. We will explain our first findings about the use of the blogs and its benefits and disadvantages as a tool for the students\\\\\\\' reflection about their own learning process in a Higher Education scenario.
Finally, we will explain some of the implications for practice in regard to the role of teachers and students during all the competencies assessment process through the use of blogs. In fact, our results suggest some ideas and guidelines about the use of the blogs for the formative competency based assessment.

THE ROLE OF EDUCATIONAL SOFTWARE IN SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT
Authors: Stanciu Ionutdorin , Bocos Musata , Andronache Daniel cosmin
Published: February 2023

An impressive amount of software was designed and marketed as educational software for primary and secondary school students. Today, there exists educational software designed specifically for a subject matter or for a more general educational purpose, aimed at enhancing a more diverse set of skills, required for multiple academic disciplines. Its primary end-purpose is to provide additional support for learning and to elicit higher academic performance from its users. Also, with respect to the originators of educational software utilization, it may be provided by the schools themselves or the learners, independently of the school. However, there is still scares empirical evidence as to the efficiency of educational software usage in relation with academic performance in Romanian students.
Against this current state of knowledge, we hypothesized that the higher the intensity of educational software utilization, the higher is the academic performance. Also, we considered alongside the intensity of utilization, the environment of utilization, the specificity of software, as well as the overall self-reported computer literacy of the learner. The design of the study was transversal, one-time correlational study, using multiple regressions to determine the most relevant impacts of the variables and structural equation modeling to develop a conceptual model of influence on the students’ academic performance. The data was collected from a sample of participants comprised of secondary education students—gymnasium and high school students. The independent and dependent variables were measured using self-reported measures of software utilization from the students and from their teachers, and factual data—i.e., academic grades—for the academic performance.
A feasible model of influence pathways was developed using partial data. The partial results are showing a positive relation between the educational software utilization and the academic achievement, regardless of the age or the school level of the user. The relevance of the study for the Romanian educational research resides in its novelty as well as in the development of the conceptual model. Furthermore, the study may have benefits for teachers, in their quest for enhancing their students’ performance via the use of educational software. The limitations of the study, residing in its one-time, transversal, correlational nature require further research to identify eventual differences among school-based and home-based use of software is needed, as well as for clarifying the role of additional variables in interplay between educational software usage and academic performance. A longitudinal follow-up on the students’ academic performance evolution in relation with the educational software utilization would provide further insight in the stability and the validity of the hypothesized influence pathways.
USE OF NEW FEATURES AND ADD-ONS IN POWERPOINT TO CREATE ANIMATIONS THAT STIMULATE LEARNING
Authors: Bertea Armand
Published: February 2023

E-learning has developed over the years into an crucial element of the modern teaching process, and the teaching methods have changed accordingly. In this context, animations and simulations play a significant role. As many students are mainly visuals learners, it is largely accepted that animations and simulations can help the student learning process, because they clarify more complicated concepts through visual means, complementing and simplifying the old-fashioned textual based presentation.
In order to make the teaching content more attractive and interesting, E-learning authoring tools are used to integrate a large range of media in the course content. One of the most known and used unspecialized authoring tool is MS PowerPoint, a presentation software that has evolved significantly since his first edition in 1990. Through the years it has become the main technology platform in teaching, even though other options are presently available. The important role MS PowerPoint plays in developing course authoring is increased by the fact that many noteworthy professional course authoring tools use its structure. The latest editions of the MS PowerPoint allows the user to add audio and video clips in the presentation, and have enhanced animation capabilities, and these abilities can be enriched even more with the help of add-ons such as motion path add-on.
The paper examines the new abilities of MS PowerPoint 2010, as it is and associated with some add-ons, to create animations that are used to increase the instruction level of the students. Besides the new improvements (the new Microsoft Office Backstage view, background removing capabilities, the ability to embed videos instead of linking them, new transition and animation options and the Animation Painter), some useful animating tools that do not appear in the latest version, such as flash once animation, are identified.
Animations were developed for the Environmental protection course, a course usually regarded as challenging by textile chemistry students, and they were meant to transmit knowledge on processes that occur in wastewater treatment. To assess the students learning, graded quizzes (multiple choice) regarding the recently acquired knowledge have been created using iSping QuizMaker and inserted at the end of each presentation.
Eventually, the students have been questioned in order to determine their opinions concerning computerized simulations and animations, and some advantages and drawbacks of this teaching method in higher education have been found. Changes in the students performance as a result of introducing animations and simulations into the Environmental protection course have been analyzed.

Authors: Blaga Mirela , Ciobanu Ana ramona , Dan Dorin
Published: February 2023

Knitted products hold tremendous potential for providing innovative design solutions for aesthetic and performance challenges in applications such as fashion, medical, industry and military apparel.
Computerized flat knitting is one of the textile technology used for fabric manufacturing, being characterized by its higher process flexibility and greater fabric structure variety, at low manufacturing costs. Design and production of knitted products, especially for advanced engineered garments, requires a comprehensive system for design and production, supported by a knowledge base system that supports the translation of concept to final product.
Computer Aided Design is a preparatory stage of the patterns, aimed to design the knitting programs in a specific language, readable by the machine. This activity, as an ‘intelligence consuming’ one, requires cumulative knowledge of knitted fabrics structures, machine mechanisms and computer skills. This stage of pattern preparation requires a sustained training, adapted to the individual learning rhythm of each student. More, an assessment stage of the knowledge acquired is necessary, in order to indicate the level of the activity deep understanding.
The paper presents a set of on-line tests concerning the self-assessment of computer aided design knowledge and pattern design activity. The tests were developed by using QuizCreator program, which offers a great flexibility in creating various types of questions, and provides the media area to insert images, audio and video files. The users can initially pass through the tests designed for knowledge setup and then through the ones with a limited time and for knowledge evaluation. They can independently use it at home, without being connected necessarily with the CAD laboratory and the pattern station. The program allows the automatic results sending to the tutor.
E-CONTENT – LEARNING BY DOING
Authors: Canter Maria
Published: February 2023

In our era when almost everything is personalized only the learning and the e-learning too seem to be one step behind. Why is personalization so important in learning?
Although we all know that one of the purposes of education is that each student should achieve his/her potential and is strongly connected to the student’s unique needs, the educational systems from all countries are standardized and ignore individual needs to a great extent. There is a gap between what the students need and what the educational systems offer. This gap is quite hard to bridge in the traditional classrooms, but today teaches can use a wide range of strategies and resources in order to make this possible.
If we take into account the resources, in e-learning one of them is the e-content, which is strongly connected to technology, but also with methodology. It is obvious that today’s teacher must master not only the design and teaching methodology, but also technology.
This paper aims, as a starting point for future research on a group of students from different specializations attending the Computer Assisted Instruction course at “Lucian Blaga” University in Sibiu, Romania, to connect personalization in e-learning with the design and implementation of the e-content, using free and open source software, in order to improve the quality of learning. This research is all the more important as the students who attend this course are training to become teachers, so they must be aware of the importance of personalizing the learning process.

Authors: Dobre Iuliana
Published: February 2023

Most of the organizations involved in higher education have rapidly developed the use of the information and communication technology (ICT). The impact was extremely significant and the humanity has accepted on their day-to-day vocabulary a new letter, the “e” letter. This letter is a key focus and proves the fact that the higher education moved forward also due to the use of the great opportunities provided by Internet. Today we are talking equally about education and E-education, about teaching and E-teaching as well as about learning and E-learning. Every year the higher education organizations develop and implement E-education programs having as fundament new generations of E-courses more reliable to achieve the proposed goal. To design an E-course is not an easy task as such course should fit inside the already existing E-teaching and E-learning standards and also, should respond to students’ expectations. According to researchers (Campbell, 2001) understanding the impact of E-teaching and E-learning is the key factor for moving toward the educational process itself. Even the support provided by the ICT to educational process is great as is to date the author believes that there will be no significant improvement and benefits just only using ICT means without developing/transforming the classroom teachers in E-teachers and without provide them with the necessary e- tools for building students’ knowledge and develop their skills. In this article the author is addressing some key areas such as the teachers new role while moving from a traditional classroom environment to an E-learning environment, and the impact of the E-learning on teachers and students in higher education. Also, the author is presenting a brief overview of the different types of approaches for the E-courses as well as is proposing a model of an E-course designed through a systematic approach and outcomes-based planning, applicable to Informatics discipline.

Learners can study freely ever in every time and place via Internet which contains various informational sources. In sciences and economy era, people face with the challenges caused by scientific and technological developments and daily business necessities, thus, continuation of study and job education have been the main methods for restoring knowledge and learning skills. Education and learning are proceeding and growing gradually in a direction as a life-long process. Learning Management System (LMS) is an approach for computer's application in education. The present article is presented in order to study the characteristics of LMS and its role in E-learning. For this purpose, the article begins with an introduction of a history, related researches and a specific definition of LMS. The key point to understand the difference between LMS and other computer-based educational terms is the know-how of the system nature of LMS. Distinguishing LMS from similar terms such as Course Management System (CMS) and Learning Content Management System (LCMS) that in many cases are being confused with; is one of the basic parts of the article which is dealt with. In the meanwhile, a brief elaboration for definitions of the terms will be given and also the role of LMS in education will be explained. It is clarifying the function of LMS as well.

EVALUATION OF QUALITY AND EDUCATIONAL METHODS FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF IMPLEMENTATION AND EXPLOITATION OF INTERACTIVE ANIMATIONS IN E-LEARNING COURSE
Authors: Magdin Martin
Published: February 2023

Since the development in the field of ICT inevitably proceeds, it is necessary not only to retain the right direction in education via modern means, but also we are forced to look for and to implement the newest methods and forms of education. Nowadays, interactive animations as one of the basic multimedia elements are regarded the standard way how to present and provide visual situations in educational process. Usage of interactive animations, eventually particular media elements, in educational process has been in the centre of the interest of the community of professionals for a long time. The importance of their exploitation increased notably after the implementation of ICT into the education when their potential was revealed. From the psychological and pedagogical point of view, the implementation of interactive animations into e-learning courses should enable and ensure the development of cognitive and intellectual abilities of the students. Although we concentrate on the university study in the paper, it does not decrease nor limit the implementation of the animations within primary or secondary education. The aim of our research was to find out how the students who use e-learning course Computer Architecture evaluated our educational methods incorporating innovated study materials into which interactive animations were implemented. Moreover, we wanted them to identify the problems of innovated materials as well as the problems of the evaluation process of education. Considering the variability and various options of learning management system we chose LMS Moodle 1.9+ to carry out our experiments. The system was chosen not only for its implementation at the Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra where it is the fundamental system for e-learning and electronic support of the education. The other important reason was its widespread implementation at various schools in Slovakia as well as abroad. The experiment was realised in summer terms of 2009/2010 academic year (control group) and 2010/2011 academic year (experimental group). At the end of the experiment we asked the students to fill in the questionnaire and to submit their comments on what they missed and what they considered being too much in mentioned course.

Published: February 2023

Will a virtual character give real character to your targeted eLearning experience?

This paper focuses on the traits of the eLearning avatars and their potential to generate positive and lasting effects for users and eContent creators alike.

The basic avatar, whether he acts like a virtual tutor or as an advisor, needs to act towards the successful fulfillment of the student's tasks on one hand and on the other hand towards delivering a good and rewarding learning experience so that the student will enjoy the subject and return for another lesson. In order to achieve this two main endeavors, the avatar should provide, as backbone, guidance, tips and appropriate feedback.

Building a successful avatar, not just an avatar, is, in part, building a successful human replica. We will journey and assimilate, in a step-by-step fashion, new methods to give digital life and relevant reputation to the avatars of your educational materials.

First, the basis for our soon to be superhero educational character : how humans acquire new friends in virtual space. The psychological aspects that govern such interactions will prove invaluable. Second, our focus will slightly move towards friend-human to friend-human communication. Next, a successful eLearning avatar should be much more than the guide of his lesson. That is why we will evolve him socially, breaking new ground in the process, away from the plain and tasteless lesson prisoners “the teacher”, “the pet”, “the young boy”, “the young girl”. Benefiting from the rise of the social networks, our virtual characters will able to connect informally and much more effectively in the long term.
LEARNING HOW TO BE A RESPONSIBLE CITIZEN IN THE VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT
Authors: Sarbu Gabriela
Published: February 2023

Virtual space and all its attached Internet services, mobile applications, computers and networks are extensions of our daily needs and life. But are most of us prepared to use them in a responsible manner? The global networking can be used not only with the good intentions. Some of the problems can be avoided with an Internet-usage literacy campaign. In this way users will be aware of their rights, their duties and the dangers that may arise if they treat electronic/Internet/mobile-issues as details not worthy for their attention. With small awareness and little knowledge of how the things work, regular users can be safer in the computer wastelands, mobile frenzy and Internet services nebulae. By buying a device, which can help you to enlist/write in a social network or on a blog, the user starts to share information that can be used against ones will. An unsecured computer or network, social engineering, fake websites can be avoided even by a regular user if there is enough knowledge upon these subjects. Banning Internet or avoiding technology in general is not the key for development, but learning how to operate and understanding the processes involved is the intelligent way. Knowing your computer, understanding how the network is actually working, securing your gateways to the Internet, comprehending and smartly using the tools of the available services from the Internet or for your mobile/smart phone will not make the user a programmer or an Internet geek, but a responsible citizen in the virtual environment. Internet-literacy is a must at any age, for all that are living in the 21th century electronic and real worlds.

Published: February 2023

ICT development has determined in the latest decades important changes in all the activity fields, including education. These changes are also reflected in the curriculum assigned to teachers’ initial and continuing training. Disciplines such as IT and computer-assisted instruction, specific to the initial training, or purposely designed programs for the continuing training come to meet this exigency of our contemporary society.
In the above-mentioned context, this paper aims at highlighting the professionals’ opinion about the opportunity of using ICT in teaching, as well as the characteristics of one of the ICT main applications to the instruction in physical education and sports field, namely to support the motor action assessment process.
Starting from the data provided by the survey conducted on 126 physical education teachers and coaches participating in the training program “ICT applications to physical education and sports teaching” (developed within the POSDRU grant 19/1.3/G/13096, Professionalization of teaching career in physical education and sports from the perspective of continuing learning), the paper emphasizes the specialists’ interest in objectifying the assessment of motor actions by means of specialized software, as well as the main functionalities of the software programs for the motion graphical analysis (measuring the motion angles, biomechanical analysis of motions, frame-by-frame motion analysis, measuring the action times and distances, comparing two motor performances, information saving and storage, importing pictures and movies, processing possibilities). The advantages and limitations of practically using such software in our field are also emphasized.
Conclusions synthesize the main competencies acquired by the specialists using these tools and which represent the basis for some proposals meant to optimize the training process.
RECENT SOFT COMPUTING APPROACHES IN DIGITAL LEARNING OBJECT EVALUATION
Authors: Albeanu Grigore , Popentiu vladicescu Florin
Published: February 2023

Digital learning objects are powerfull units for building learning, education or training materials based on ICT recent developments. Not only text and photos, but also audio, video, and simulation units are used to build high quality e-lessons (available online), or blended learning resources.

There are a large plethora of types of digital resources used in e-Learning content development, and for every category a particular set of criteria are used by experts (mainly e-education experts) to recommend some optimum configuration.

Content quality (incuding presentation design) , standards compliance (mainly for portability reason), learning goal alignment (accreditation goals), accessibility and interaction usability, and reusability are common criteria for every type of digital learning object. Specific aspects concerning text (font size/colour), images (resolution, multilevel approaches, animation), audio (resolution), video (resolution), and the general presentation including the quality of characters\\\\\\\' voice are necessary to be taken into consideration in order to select the best quality digital learning objects in order to obtain an attractive, motivational, and efficient (not only for the teacher, but most important for the student) meeting with valuable pieces of knowledge for life.

This paper describes the usage of some soft computing techniques for the evaluation of DLOs, including intuitionistic fuzzy multicriteria approaches.

Firstly, the multicriteria decision-making methods are briefly reviewed combining the general decision-making process.

There are many approaches in soft computing decision-making: neural networks, evolutionary optimisation, fuzzy computing, etc. The multicriteria approaches under consideration are based on fuzzy and intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (triangular, trapezoidal, etc), distance evaluation, and multicriteria decision strategies.

Final considerations on applying such methodologies for digital learning objects\\\\\\\' evaluation are presented.

This work takes place in the framework of the realization of a pedagogical assistance system in the domain of technology enhanced learning (TEL) .In this context, we defend the thesis that it is possible to integrate an interface with a pedagogical agent in an ILE (interactive learning environment) based on web service, which aims to provide pedagogical assistance adapted to the learner. our approach is based on the analysis of the course of the learner , the system allows to represent , assist and analyze the evolution of a learning situation in order to detect the assistance status (blocking learner , non completing tasks…etc.) it is based on the comparison between the actions of the learning (traces) and action to perform (the domain model ) the traces provide knowledge about the learning situation with one of the web 2.0 reporting techniques .Our approach is to provide a learning system that incorporates a proactive assistant agent, able to offer a range of services (activity monitoring, progress monitoring, guidance and assistance during the course) to learners in an intelligent manner. In addition, this agent has a learning mechanism to enable it the adaptation to new situations ensuring automatic and continuous assistance to the learner. The system adopts a recent pedagogical and didactical approach, based on constructivist approach which implies a maximum cognitive activity of the learner.

And also , our approach focuses on the representation of the evolution of learning situations and on adaptive pedagogical agent that offers several types of pedagogical assistance.the role of pedagogical and technique accompanist.

Published: February 2023

In a world in which the means of spreading information are more and more advanced and data distribution is done exponentially, the need to protect the originality of the papers becomes of great importance. In the XXI century, intellectual property will play an increasingly important role on the international scene. Works of the mind, such as inventions, concepts, brands, books, music and films are now used and consumed with pleasure in every corner of the world. With the dramatic rise in the use of the Internet, specifically for e-commerce and exchange of information and knowledge, the system of intellectual property protection is crucial for the development of digital society. Intellectual property information may now be found easily. Search for patents, for example, is made much easier with the potential of the internet registration is required by the new patent by the institutions concerned. Intellectual property is the most effective tool for fostering and propagation of innovation and creativity, which modern society is becoming more dependent, in particular by patents, industrial design, copyright and related rights, trademarks, geographical indications etc. This is the surest way to prevent and combat the unfair competition, to order the products and services and to obtain positive results in the fight for respect of exclusive rights, against counterfeiting and piracy. This paper wants to approach the intellectual property right in knowledge society. The theme presents international interest and because of a growing interest for combating all forms of illegal use of the material that is part of the intellectual property sphere.After a brief introduction in the matter of intellectual property rights, we will focus on methods to protect these rights. The final part of the paper is dedicated to an analysis of this phenomenon, stating the importance of it in the XXI century.

Published: February 2023

Natural phenomena can not be treated and understood in the context of a single discipline.
School projects in which students are engaged, developing content and working methods that do not involve strict barriers between disciplines.
In addition, there are students capable of high performance, students which have formed interdisciplinary skills and skills transfer. For these students, interdisciplinary approach to content and physics phenomena represents the usual way of working.
Interdisciplinary learning can be applied in the context of differential treatment of students and of the learning content respectively.
Differential treatment of students is a necessity in terms of diversification of skills, learning styles, educational profiles and their future professions. Students learn to enjoy those parts of the curriculum that is close to areas where they are passionate. Therefore, the teacher is able to launch this challenge to students.
Attracting students to science has multiple results, such as attending school curricula in good condition, getting school performance in this area, increasing the number of future specialists in natural sciences.
Therefore, our article presents elements of the physics discipline integrated in an interdisciplinary treatment of the contents. In this context, we intend to show that is possible to developing the projects which have the objectives to build graphic user interfaces used in physics learning process, or to control a continuous wave laser beam by a simple electronic circuit.
Also, our article presents some laboratory experimental subjects with extensive content that can be discussed in the differentiated treatment to physics discipline.
We estimate that in terms of interdisciplinary process, physics learning is a positive factor which leading to the complete and unit educational products for school curricula.

Published: February 2023

The variety of teaching environments is on the increase thanks to the rapid development of technology, and the importance of the digital presentation of education as the traditional teaching environments has become digital and web based teaching. E-learning which has started to use an alternative for traditional teaching has become the recurring topic of many researches. Nowadays, e-learning platforms have been presented to students as web based; however, it is not effective for any materials without presentation file, screen on desktop, asynchrony video file etc. for lesson material in this platforms. The courses conducted in traditional classrooms are presented only via video, and it is used in limited ways in accordance with the system’s features. One of the most important constraints is the speed problems of the Internet connection. Although there have been many studies on this subject, they could not be regarded as successful due to their asynchrony. This study aims at designing a model to reduce such constraints in the classrooms and workshops.

Social networking mobile Ad Hoc have no centralized infrastructure, so it is difficult to provide authentication services. Much work is ongoing and no complete solution to secure mobile ad hoc networks against attack has been made to date. This problem remains a major problem facing today\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s researchers in the field of ad hoc networks. Through this article, we proposed a security scheme for mobile ad hoc social networks where OLSR is the routing protocol .We have chosen the OLSR routing protocol because it is the most widely used ad hoc community. In general the attacker can delete, modify, copy control messages to send false messages. Our scheme consists of detecting the type of attack, the checks and then ends with alert the nodes of mobile social network. These three elements is based on the addition of five messages \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" Hreq , Hrep, HAlert, Probing and ACKprob\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" in the OLSR protocol. For the exchange of a package of Hreq , Hrep and HAlert ; and to provide authentication as well confidentiality. We have proposed the dual use of public key encryption; the message will be decrypted only by the true recipient and to ensure safe exchange of a package of Probing and ACKprob, we proposed an architecture through the use of RSA and MD5 to sign messages. The proposed solution is easy to deploy and requires no time synchronization or location information nor does it require any special equipment or complex calculation. The performance of this approach shows a high detection rate for all attacks against OLSR under various scenarios.

Abstract: The accelerated pace in the progress of science and technology entails a high dynamic restructuring of teaching components. Technological maturity and especially the explosion of information technology configure in a deep and highly mobile manner the possibilities of communication. Research in teaching communication must meet this challenge through flexible conceptual systems, appropriate programs and rationally planned objectives, able to provide explanations and effective intervention methods.
Although this scientific approach does not provide opportunities for direct action by identifying and analyzing problems by establishing connections between phenomena and how they influence each other, it still proves its usefulness, not only for research purposes but also for institutional intervention.
The purpose of this research was to identify the knowledge and use of modern means of communication in teaching and the opinion on these and the hierarchy of elements that are assessed as generating efficiency in teaching. The research allowed the identification of certain situations where the classical training proved to be recommended.
Taking into consideration the reasons listed above, we consider that the methodology chosen investigates an important area of efficiency in teaching and by the possibilities offered proves current and appropriate.

This study established the opportunities in implementing mobile learning via mobile phones to support English Language learning in Malaysian secondary schools. The findings were gathered from English subject leaders, ICT subject leaders, head teachers and deputy head teachers from 4 schools in the United Kingdom. In addition, the study also gathered the perspectives from English subject leaders, ICT subject leaders, head teachers, deputy head teachers from 9 schools in Malaysia and the officers in the Ministry of Education Malaysia. The study applies educational research and development (ER&D) evaluation methodology by Borg and Gall (1979) with interview as the research tool.

It has been established that there are 7 signs of promises to implement mobile learning via mobile phones in Malaysian secondary schools. These are based on the following key points: (1) mobile phones as a viable teaching and learning tool to support English subject, (2) mobile phones as an affordable tool, (3) mobile phones as a common device among students, (4) mobile phones as a tool to be used in mainstream education in the future, (5) mobile phone as an engaging and motivational tool, (6) mobile phones as a tool to support various learning activities and (7) mobile phone as a tool to prepare students for their future.

This study contributes towards the body of knowledge of mobile learning in Malaysia as a developing country where mobile learning is still in its infancy. It adds value in understanding the situation of mobile learning in Malaysia, which could be replicated to other developing countries in embracing the potential of mobile learning in mainstream education.
