It is deemed that the effectiveness of teachers is highly entangled with psycho-emotional constructs, such as critical thinking (CT), emotion regulation (ER), and immunity. Despite the potential roles of CR, ER, and immunity, their possible relationships have remained unexplored in the higher education context of Iran. To fill in this lacuna, this study explored the potential role of CT and ER in university teachers' immunity in the Iranian higher education context. For this purpose, a total of 293 English university teachers were selected using a convenience sampling method. They were invited to fill out the Watson–Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal-Form, Language Teacher Emotion Regulation Inventory, and Language Teacher Immunity Instrument. The findings of path analysis indicated that the university teachers with higher CT were more productively immunized. Moreover, the results revealed that ER could predict the university teachers' immunity. The findings of the study lead to this implication that higher order thinking skills, emotion regulatory strategies, and immune enhancement should be incorporated into educational programs of higher education.
For master’s degree students, self-regulated learning research is limited, even though the number of online learners has exploded in recent years, especially after the international COVID-19 pandemic. This study investigated the effect of a self-regulated learning guide to help students act somewhat more autonomously. To collect the data, a self-regulated learning guide along with a questionnaire and an achievement test was used. Forty master’s degree students (20 students in each group) participated in this study; they were distributed into two groups (A and B). Group A attended online classes with their instructor, while Group B students attended online classes and received the learning guide to help them pinpoint specific strategies in the given learning context. This paper presents the results obtained from the questionnaire distributed to the students and their end-of-course test results by comparing estimated with the actual performance scores. The study concluded that providing students with a learning guide helps them regulate their learning effectively.
The researcher investigated the effect of using short stories and cooperative learning together in one class and compared its effect with the existing traditional methods and cooperative program as well as contextualized short-story-based program. To do so, 75 Iranian female EFL learners participated in the study after a homogeneity test. They were divided into three groups i.e., storytelling, cooperative, and mixed. The learners in the cooperative group followed the above procedures of cooperative learning for reading short stories and the short story group was engaged in a question and answering activity was guided by the teacher, as mentioned earlier. Moreover, the mixed group covered the short stories extensively out of the class as described for the short story group and did the cooperative group work activity in class. After the treatment lasted 12 sessions, the learners took the test again. The study's findings reveal that using story-telling can be a good strategy to bypass the difficulty of vocabulary instruction insomuch it gives leaners chances of using new words communicatively to produce target forms in meaningful real-world contexts.
Since English has been deemed a foreign language in Indonesian schools, how EFL students learn and acquire English vocabulary has been a hot topic. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the impact of WLI on Indonesian EFL students’ vocabulary gains and to discover how students feel about the usage of a web-based method in language instruction. Students were randomly assigned to one of two groups: the Experimental group (EG = 30), which used free vocabulary learning webpages on the IELTS English language learning site each day for 12 weeks, and the control group (CG = 30), which got regular classroom teaching every session. This was done to make sure that the groups were homogeneous. By introducing web-based training into the curriculum, it seemed that students perceptions of language acquisition had improved. The findings showed a considerable disparity in vocabularies among EG and CG. The vocabulary of EFL students improved as a result of WBL education. This study results might have some benefits on how languages are taught and learned.
The incredible utilization of online media brought about significant advantages for mankind in their everyday life. In any case, its utilization was never intended for antagonistic maltreatment by an enormous number of individuals to hurt others, especially spying on their private life. As such, this has seen the issue of identity and social dangers skyrocketing in the recent past. The numerous calls for outright freedom of opinion and the privilege of the individual to talk about everything, away from legitimate punishments, just as obliviousness of numerous individuals of their privacy rights such as their right for protection, depict these acts. With these incidences being on the rise, there is the need for legislative intervention. It is based on these incidences that the study sought to investigate an account of civil liability on the violation of private life in social media. The study pointed out the effects of social media on the idea of the privilege of life security, the privilege of data protection, and the legal legislation on the infringement of protection in terms of the material and moral aspect (Gomez, 2021). The study involved the use of the descriptive and analytical approach whereby keywords were used to search relevant data on the subject of protection of private life and its infringement through social sites. The research inferred that there is confusion in ideas and applications with regard to the idea of private life. Also, because of the relationship between basic liberties and opinion, the civil laws become clear. Furthermore, as the result of the quick advancements in the field of social media, the subsequent specialized complexities of civil liability and controlling its sources are identified. The study suggested for additional discussions on this phenomenon and refreshing the continuous legislations to adapt to the quick and nonstop improvement of the technical revolution. Given what is popular today of the intentional display of individual information increasing via social media sites and the widespread phenomenon of spying the private life of others, this raises the issue of identity and social dangers coming about because of the digital presence of people. Dealing with abuses that influence them by governments, or any other parties, needs numerous directions on the most proficient method to secure them by updating the significant legitimate frameworks.
