Abstract

This study aims to identify the degree to which the first cycle teachers use different feedback patterns in the E-learning system, to identify the differences in the degree of use according to specialization, teaching experience, and in-service training in the field of classroom assessment as well as the interaction between them. The study sample consisted of (350) female teachers of the first cycle in the governmental schools in Muscat Governorate for the academic year 2020/2021. The study used a questionnaire containing four different feedback patterns: reinforcement, informative, corrective, and interpretive feedback. The psychometric properties of the questionnaire were verified in terms of validity and reliability. Among the most prominent findings of the study: were that reinforcement feedback was the most frequently used feedback pattern from the teachers of the first cycle, and informative feedback was the least used. Also, there were statistically significant differences between the teachers in the degree of use of feedback patterns attributed to the variables of specialization and teaching experience, while there were no statistically significant differences between the teachers in the degree of use of feedback patterns due to the in-service training in the field of classroom assessment and the 2-way interactions between the variables. The study concluded with a set of recommendations and suggestions, including emphasizing the importance of female teachers employing different feedback patterns for students in the process of continuous assessment and conducting more studies on different feedback patterns and their effectiveness at various educational levels and subjects. The general level of the impact of the science experts program was very good from the graduates’ point of view. The results also revealed that there were no statistically significant differences between the means of graduates’ degree of satisfaction with the training program due to the variables of gender, training cohort, and years of experience. There were also no statistically significant differences between the means of the graduates’ ratings on the impact of the training program due to the variables of gender and training cohort. The study ended with a set of recommendations for developing the program and suggestions for future research studies. The most important recommendations are:

Increase the number of field visits and continuing communication with graduates. The certificate obtained by graduates should have academic weight and the subjects taken in the training program should be equivalent to the master’s topics. Activating the professional learning communities in more effective ways to share experiences between teachers. Assign specific dates for teachers' training in the school calendar. Focus on improving the practical skills of teachers and not only theoretical parts.

MODIFIED TRAINING METHOD FOR FEEDFORWARD NEURAL NETWORKS AND ITS APPLICATION in 4-LINK SCARA ROBOT IDENTIFICATION
...Show More Authors

In this research the results of applying Artificial Neural Networks with modified activation function to perform the online and offline identification of four Degrees of Freedom (4-DOF) Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm (SCARA) manipulator robot will be described. The proposed model of identification strategy consists of a feed-forward neural network with a modified activation function that operates in parallel with the SCARA robot model. Feed-Forward Neural Networks (FFNN) which have been trained online and offline have been used, without requiring any previous knowledge about the system to be identified. The activation function that is used in the hidden layer in FFNN is a modified version of the wavelet function. This approach ha

Balancing the Multi Assembly line Using Ranked Positional Weight and COMSOAL Algorithms: Case Study at the Sewing line Factory (7) /the General Company for Leather Industries (GCLI/ Baghdad)
...Show More Authors

      The problem of multi assembly line balancing appears as one of the most prominent and complex type of problem. The research problem of this dissertation is concerned with choosing the suitable method that includes the nature of the processes of the multi assembly type of the sewing line at factory no. (7). The State Company for Leather Manufacturing. The sewing line currently suffers from idle times at work stations which resulted in low production levels that do not meet the production plans. The authors have devised a flexible simulation model which uses the uniform distribution to generate task time for each shoe type produced by the factory. The simulation of the multi assembly line was based on assigni

Barbara Kingsolver: Evaluating Her Contribution to the Eco-Feminist Novel
...Show More Authors

Climate change, together with terrorism, economic depressions, and mass-destructive weaponry, is a source of international phobia for many people. The advancement in technology increases the competition among world powers and economic systems to develop their industrial enterprises. The smoke that emits from the factories, the pollution caused by the industrial projects, the excessive use of green gas result in the increase of global warming and have catastrophic effects on the ecosphere of the planet. Besides, man’s wrong practices even in agricultural matters are exhausting the natural resources of the lands, and they badly affect the ecological diversity and the wellbeing of the humans and non-humans alike.

Chaotic features of energy spectrum in 68Ge Nucleus Using the Nuclear Shell Model
...Show More Authors

   Chaotic features of nuclear energy spectrum in 68Ge nucleus are investigated by nuclear shell model. The energies are calculated through doing shell model calculations employing the OXBASH computer code with effective interaction of F5PVH. The 68Ge nucleus is supposed to have an inert core of 56Ni with 12 nucleons (4 protons and 8 neutrons) move in the f5p-model space ( and ). The nuclear level density of considered classes of states is seen to have a Gaussian form, which is in accord with the prediction of other theoretical studies. The statistical fluctuations of the energy spectrum (the level spacing P(s) and the Dyson-Mehta (or statistics) are well described by the Gaussian orthogonal ens
