The research aims at revealing the effectiveness of designing personal learning environment based on infographics in developing the cognitive achievement and modify attitudes towards its use among students of Al-Aqsa University.The experiment has been applied to a deliberate sample of 79 students who have the desire to participate.The research instruments )test of the cognitive achievement about the basic concept the learning computer and its applications, the attitude towards using personal learning environment( are conducted before and after personal learning environment based on infographics.Accordingly, this has contributed effectively to the development of cognitive achievement as well as the modification of the attitude towards its use among students.
The virtual laboratory is considered one of the latest technologies in the field of education that aims to develop the educational skills of students such 100 hundred school students from a public all-girl primary school in east Gaza were divided into two groups to participate in a quasi-experimental study. Each group completed a particular pre- and post-tests for expert thinking and decision-making skills. The results showed that students in the experimental group were significantly higher than students in the control group in the total mean score of the expert thinking test (27.89 versus 12.47; p=0.001, η<sup>2</sup>=0.71). A comparison of the pre-post score for the expert thinking test showed a significant improvement in students’ performance (p=0.001). The post scores for the decision-making scale showed a significant difference between students in the control group and the experimental group (p=0.001). The total mean score of the decision-making scale in the experimental group in the post-scale (82.32±10.87) was significantly higher than the pre-scale score (70.85±9.80) (p=0.001). It could be concluded that using virtual laboratory and simulation applications had a positive impact on improving students’ scientific knowledge, scientific process, decision-making ability and developing expert thinking skills.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
