The aim of the study was to determine the concepts that primary school fourth-grade students reveal with their mind maps related to four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) and to compare the mind map and achievement test scores. In the study, a mixed method was used in which quantitative and qualitative data were collected and presented together. The study was carried out with a total of 14 students. There were eight girls and six boys, who studying in the fourth-grade of a primary school in Mentese district of Mugla, in the spring semester of the 2019-2020 academic year. In the research, mind maps created for four operations and success test were used as data collection tools. The data collection process was carried out simultaneously. In the analysis of the data, qualitative data were transformed into the quantitative analysis, and quantitative analyzes were made. Concepts in mind maps created for four operations were subjected to qualitative analysis and photos were added as evidence. As a result of the research, it was determined that the majority of the students adopted the concepts of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Besides, it was revealed that there was a high-level positive relationship between the scores of the students obtained from the achievement test and the scores from the mind maps they created. The evaluation made using the mind map for primary school fourth-grade students is more advantageous than the achievement test in terms of determining the conceptual understanding.

This qualitative research study explored E-Learning delivery in Saudi Arabian Universities from a holistic perspective to advance knowledge on the evolution of Saudi Arabia's distance education system. Data collection consisted of 28 in-depth, one-on-one interviews with instructors and course designers to capture missing insider perspectives and was supplemented by a thematic analysis of core supporting documents related to the universities' strategies for delivering online learning. Three core thematic areas were isolated and analyzed: (1) Distance education growing pains, (2) Learning theory integration challenges, and (3) Pedagogical and technical alignment. Stafford Beer's Viable Systems Model (VSM) provided an interpretive lens to explain how Saudi Arabia's distance education system remained viable while passing through periods of significant change. A blended learning model is proposed to address the complex interplay of factors influencing E-learning delivery within Saudi Arabia's distance education system.

Digitalization affects every sphere of life including education. However, for it to be beneficial, it needs transfomation in order to fit the current situation or changes that have occurred in human life over a time.The purpose of this research is to consider the impact of the digital transformation of Russian society on the formation of young teachers' professional identity. The constructivist approach and the &quot;soft concepts&quot; of identity that have developed within its framework, serve as the methodological basis of the proposed research. The results of the applied authors' sociological study conducted in 2020 serve as the empirical basis of this study. The method of collecting information was an in-depth interview. The research concluded that digitalization has a positive impact on formation of professional identity of young teachers. We also note that, despite the fact that the forced transition to online education has increased the prestige of teaching, digitalization cannot be considered as an independent factor that is able to change the professional space so that it becomes more attractive for young professionals.

The purpose of the present study was twofold: (a) to compare the performance of six cognitive diagnostic models, including a general model (GDINA), two non-compensatory models (DINA and NC-RUM), and three compensatory models (ACDM, DINO, and CRUM), at test level to find the best model for describing the underlying interaction among the listening attributes of the IELTS exam; and (b) to diagnose the performance of Iranian candidates in the listening section of the IELTS. To accomplish these, item responses of 310 Iranian test takers to the Listening Sub-test of the IELTS exam were analyzed. The models were first compared in terms of absolute and relative fit indices for selecting the most optimal model. The results showed that the G-DINA model was the best model with regard to all fit indices among the competing models followed by the C-RUM, ACDM, NC-RUM, DINO, and DINA. Then, the C-RUM as the best specific CDM was selected for the second phase of the study. It was found that making inference and comprehending vocabulary and syntax are the most difficult listening constituents for Iranian IELTS candidates.

Although group dynamic assessment (GDA) has been gaining attention over the recent decade, its applicability in online context has been left rather underexplored. Hence, the current study examined the effects of GDA on developing EFL learners' written grammatical accuracy in the online context of 'Telegram'. To this aim, 60 Iranian EFL students whose age ranged from 14 to 18 years old were assigned randomly into two groups, namely GDA (N=30) and Non-GDA (N = 30). Initially, both groups wrote an essay on the same topic taken from Preliminary English Test (PET) as the pre-test. Afterwards, both groups wrote on seven writing tasks and shared them in their groups on Telegram. The students in the GDA group were provided with graduated and contingent feedback following a concurrent interactive approach. That is, the teacher offered a gamut of feedback according to the responsiveness of the students to fix errors. On the other hand, the non-GDA group only received direct corrective feedback without being afforded the opportunity to interact over their errors. Finally, both groups revised their own last essays as the first posttest and also wrote an essay on a new task. Results of the study indicated that the GDA group significantly outperformed the Non-GDA group in terms of gains measured by both revision and the new task. EFL teachers and teacher educators can be the beneficiaries of the current study to enrich their online sessions with more GDA-based feedback.

The organizational environment includes not only the landscape of a school, but also the components of school learning resources, student relations, communication-collaboration, decision-making and instructional innovation. According to the ministry of education, many schools do not have the new facilities needed for successful teaching and learning to meet the potential needs of the workforce. Further investigation is still needed as to how these elements make teachers enjoy a working environment, particularly in Kedah, Malaysia. It would also help the State department of education to address unresolved school issues. The aim of this research is to examine primary school teachers' understanding of their teacher satisfaction and organizational environment. The design of this study was mix-method consisting of a survey (quantitative approach) and a semi-structured interview (qualitative approach). A sample of 220 teachers in 23 primary schools in Alor Janggus, Kedah participated in this study. On the other hand, a total of 20 teachers were interviewed to identify factors that would lead to teacher satisfaction at work and an organizational environment. The content analysis was used to identify the themes that emerged from the semi-structure interview. The themes emerged from the semi-structure interviews are student relationships, decision-making, school infrastructure, teamwork and educational creativity. Suggestions for future research are discussed in more detail.

In this study the validity of partial dictation as a measure of overall language proficiency was examined. Two partial dictation tests along with a C-Test, a cloze test, and a reading comprehension test, as criterion measures, were administered to a group of Iranian EFL learners. The coefficients of correlation between partial dictation and criterion measures were computed. Correlations revealed that partial dictation highly correlates with the cloze test, the C-Test, and the reading comprehension test. Principal components analysis showed that all the variables (four C-Test passages, two dictation passages, one cloze passage, and one reading comprehension passage) formed one single factor which explained 58% of the variance. All the variables had high loadings on the factor. These findings were interpreted as evidence of the similarity of the construct measured by partial dictation and other measures employed in the study. Desiderata for future research and potential applications of partial dictation in foreign language testing and teaching are discussed.

Nowadays educational migration is still one of the most relevant topics for Russian and foreign scientists and an understudied topic at the same time. Despite the many published sources including quantitative and qualitative aspects of the process, the set of topics under consideration is quite limited (adaptation of foreign students, brain drain, demographical characteristics of migrants, etc.). The article using scientific principles of systematicity and general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, comparison, classification, etc.) considers the dynamics of the changes in the amount of foreign students from the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States to the Russian Federation (including which countries they are from), correlation of the process with forming-up Common Education Space in Russia and CIS. The study conducted led to the conclusion that the actions by government agencies of the Russian Federation, higher education institutions and scientific organizations allowed stopping the negative process of foreign students drain, which took place in 1990s, promoting and increasing the educational migrant influx from the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States from 2000 to 2007. Among the leaders in the number of students studying at Russian universities, in early 1990-s there were Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Belorussia and in 2017 there were Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.

The article reveals the content of &quot;electronic information and educational environment&quot; as a pedagogical category. Various approaches to the definition of this concept are shown. The article presents the main objectives of the research, which are as follows: to identify the essential characteristics of the electronic information and educational environment, to determine its functions, to characterize the structural components. Distance learning, as one of the main components of the electronic information and educational environment and as one of the innovative educational models that creates the necessary conditions for providing educational services at any distance, without visiting educational institutions, has a number of advantages: it opens up opportunities for education, regardless of age and geographical location, studying the disciplines of the educational program at your own pace, regardless of time and from other participants in the educational process, self-development based on self-education and self-discipline. Thus, the research hypothesis is determined: the electronic information and educational environment of the University is an effective means of forming the professional competence of students. Theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature were used as research methods. The result of the study was the identification of the essential characteristics of the electronic information and educational environment, advantages and disadvantages. Moreover, the author's interpretation of distance learning and electronic educational resources as the main components of the electronic information and educational environment is proposed.

The relevance of the problem presented in this study is conditioned by the fact that the multifactorial nature of qualities of technological culture of the individual requires a search for paradigms, an identification of the range of approaches aimed at developing not only technological, professional, but also cultural competences of students in multiparadigmatic viewpoint. The purpose of the article is to theoretically substantiate the polyparadigmatic approach to the formation of technological culture of students in the system of continuing education based on ethno-aesthetic values. The leading method for the research of this problem is the method of concretization, which allows us to consider the formation of motivational, cognitive, activity (practical) - technologically important personal qualities (Belentsov S. I., Fahrutdinova A. V., 2017). The structure of the polyparadigmatic approach to the formation of technological culture of students in the system of continuing education based on ethno-aesthetic values includes axiological, cultural, socio-cultural, activity-technological, ethnopedagogical, and ethno-aesthetic approaches. The polyparadigmatic approach has an integrative basis, it is based on scientific and ethnic knowledge expressed in the form of concepts, didactics of technological and higher education, ethno-aesthetic didactics, which ensure the continuity of the formation of the components of technological culture of students in the system 'school -- University -- additional education'.

Introduction: Motivation is one of the most important effective factors in learning. It can lead to long-lasting learning in connection with identity. Creating an appropriate setting for development and actualization of students with different Scientific, social and cultural abilities is one of the accountable education package's The Health System Evaluation Plan. Whereas emotion regulation and management is one of the important needs of students and empowering them in this field is a necessity. Method: Present study is a kind of non-experimental design. To speak more precisely, it is a type of correlations design which has analyzed a structural pattern of variables relationship, done in 2016 in Sabzevar university of medical Sciences, 720 students were selected using multistage cluster sampling as the sample group and employed Berzonsky's identity style Inventory (ISI-3), achievement goals scale of Midgley et al (PALS), and motivated strategies for learning questionnaire (MSLQ). Data was analyzed using path analysis. Results: Informational identity style has both direct and indirect effect (through the intervening role of mastery goals) on cognitive engagement (P&lt;0.01). Normative identity style has an effect. The path from diffuse-avoidant identity style to performance-avoidance goals was excluded from fitted model, fitted model predicts 41% of cognitive engagement. Conclusion: In order to improve learning, cognitive engagement (mental efforts) can be targeted using motivational and identity variables.
