The learning process has changed totally since the implementation of the distance learning policy (&quot;Pembelajaran Jarak Jauh&quot;-PJJ). Lecturers and students are required to be able to optimize the internet. This article discusses the process of &quot;Maharah Qira'ah&quot; using e-learning in UIN Imam Bonjol Padang. This research is a qualitative study by describing data found in the field in depth. The data were collected through Google Forms, observation, distribution of questionnaires through Google Forms, and online interviews through social media and documentation. The results showed that the e-learning media used in &quot;Maharah Qira'ah&quot; classes are WhatsApp, Zoom, Youtube, Instagram, and Facebook applications, where Whatsapp is more significant than other media. In an effort to realize reading skills, the lecturers designed the lesson by demanding students to understand &quot;Qira'ah&quot; texts sent through WhatsApp Group, by writing new vocabulary found in the text, recording their readings, and sending them to WhatsApp Group, followed by solving 10 problems, and then discuss them with the lecturers and the other students. This study found that there is a shift in learning &quot;maharah qira'ah&quot; using e-learning from student center to media center. It means that the process depends on technology is more significant than dependence on teachers. This study also found that learning &quot;mahara qira'ah&quot; with conventional methods is more preferred by students than using e-learning. Although the teacher explains the material in depth and provides assignments that support student learning.

With the announcement of COVID-19 as a pandemic, and the call for social distancing, academic institutions reacted by shutting campuses and calling for the shift to virtual online delivery. In the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT), this study was designed in an effort to sustain success in these global challenging times that is informed by strategic foresight. HCT called for an all-online delivery starting March 22, 2020 after a two-day pilot in the preceding week. HCT readiness is a result of orchestrating: an ecosystem perspective on digital transformation, a forward-looking institutional strategy that has technology utilization as a major pillar, an education technology strategy, and a comprehensive set of intelligent learning tools. Forward-looking scenarios were designed based on two critical uncertainties: (1) COVID-19 longevity and (2) socio-economic disruption. These scenarios were named: Divine Mercy, Recovery Mode, New Norm, and Survival of the Fittest. Subsequently, the features of each scenario are assessed for implications on HCT's business and support operations, and the proactive strategies are documented to cope with these implications. During the full online delivery mode period, HCT surveys result reported 86% satisfaction amongst its faculty and 54% amongst its student body, delivered 234 000 hours through 61000 online classes, and delivered over 21000 hours of online professional development (PD) sourced from HCT's Learning Management System. Over the same period, more than 1900 non-faculty employees were running business as usual from home reported via online attendance and daily/weekly task forms. Envisioning future scenarios and preparing the organization for them is a practice that should be deployed in parallel to emergency response efforts to ensure successful business continuity.

The applications of multiple intelligence theory in education are wide. Students apply the learning in the classroom according to their own dominant intelligence and learning style, which is most effective for them. Combining learning styles with dominant intelligences enhances the students' learning processes. The purpose of this case study is to examine the relationship between dominant intelligences according to Gardner's multiple intelligence theory and middle school students' academic achievement. A case study was conducted in Israel, in a middle school, among seventh-graders and involved 158 students. Findings indicated that in excellent classes -- 80.9% of students had logical intelligence, in at least one of the levels of dominance; in ordinary classes only 48.4% of students have logical intelligence, at least in one of the levels of dominance. We also examined the relationship between the amount of dominant intelligences among students in all classes, excellent and ordinary. Findings indicated that in excellent classes the percentage of students with two or three dominant intelligences was higher than the percentage in ordinary classes. It is important to note that these are not just the logical and verbal, but also all types of intelligences, such as spatial, musical, kinetic and others. In conclusion, the dominant intelligences that highly influence and measure achievement in the education system are not the logical-mathematical and the linguistic-verbal, but the only logical-mathematical. Moreover, the amount of intelligences at the dominant levels can predict and indicate student's success at school.

This paper aimed to determine the maritime students' readiness to cope with the abrupt paradigm shift from face-to-face to online learning for the first time in maritime education amidst the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. It utilized a descriptive-normative approach where incoming 2nd year and 3rd-year maritime students were the respondents. Data gathering was online using a survey questionnaire in Google Forms. Participation was limited while everybody was under the community lockdowns for safety and health reasons. Internet connectivity was also a limiting factor. Statistical tools used were frequency count and percentage. The study showed a majority or 7 of 10 among maritime students were not ready to cope with the paradigm shift on the basis of not having a computer of their own for school works; no internet connectivity at home; no access to internet shops; and personal wellbeing. Almost 3 of 5 of them preferred face-to-face learning. A catch-up framework in maritime education was proposed to address problems relative to the opening of SY 2020-2021 by delaying it to January 2021. Lecture-based subjects were scheduled in the early part while laboratory requiring the use of simulator in the later part of every curriculum year. This will ensure the acquisition of competencies through actual engagement in simulator operation among students. The catch-up framework gives the maritime students opportunities to graduate within the prescribed period of their curriculum despite the outbreak of COVID-19. The government, school authorities, parents, and faculty members also benefit from this framework once adapted.

Quality education will be considered for the holistic improvement of the human race. Education is the most valuable key to success for an individual. It will be considered for the lifelong learning process. Adolescence is a major period in all human life. A major change takes place during the transitions from childhood to adulthood. It is considered as a period of storm and stress. The present study focused on understanding the relationship between social security and emotional integration among adolescents in the Kannur district of Kerala. Through this study, researchers need to know the role and level of social security and emotional integration among adolescents. The investigators adopted a stratified survey method considering the nature of the study random sampling technique was employed to select the sample. The investigator has used as a social security inventory and emotional integration scale for collecting the data. The sample of the present investigation has been selected from 300 higher secondary students, using a random sampling method. The samples are taken from the 4 Government and 4 aided higher secondary schools in the Kannur district of Kerala. The result of the study reveals that there was no relationship between social security and emotional integration among adolescents in Kannur.

In a fourth year undergraduate nutritional toxicology course that included an instructional emphasis on scientific literature critique activities and assessments, we determined the change in students' (n=144) scientific literacy (SL) skills. The change in students' perceived and practical SL skills were determined by the completion of two surveys, administered at the start and end of the semester. Additionally, we conducted a follow-up SL survey at the end of the subsequent academic semester (i.e., four months later) to determine if students retained any improvements in their SL skills. Over the semester, students showed improvements in their perceived capabilities of all SL skill parameters assessed (P&lt;0.05); however, the most significant gains were apparent in the areas of i) knowledge application (specifically identifying novel problems or research questions and using new information to address unfamiliar problems or knowledge gaps), and ii) knowledge translation and communication (translating complex information from the scientific literature into clear and understandable terms). There was no change in students TOSLS score between the start and end of the semester (P&gt;0.05). In the follow-up SL survey students showed further improvements in their perceptions of the SL skills for 7 of the 10 parameters assessed compared to the end of the previous semester (P&lt;0.05), however, there remained no change in their practical SL skills assessed using TOSLS. Collectively, this data demonstrates that students' perceptions of their SL capabilities may not align with their practical capabilities.
