“…Muelas and Navarro (2015) stated that low academic achievement was due to weak and ineffective learning strategies. The role of learning styles and students' performance were also highlighted by other studies such as Razak, Zulkifli and Noh (2018); Jaki, Ambun and Yunus (2018); Ishak and Awang (2018); Ph'ng, Ming and Nambiar (2016); Abdullah, Daud, Ariff, & Shaifuddin, (2018) and Thang et al (2015). From the past research conducting by Stott and Hobden (2015), they had further identified three learning strategies namely interrogating information, thinking it through, and organizing and linking.…”

Most higher education students are unfamiliar with effective learning strategies that prevented them from achieving good academic result. The purpose of this research is to explore learning strategies of high achieving students. This study employed a qualitative methodology and involved four high achieving students and used semi-structured interviews. This study found ten learning strategies and thirty-seven learning tactics employed by high achieving students. This study found that learning strategies and tactics found in the study suit neuro-linguistic modelling approach. The study suggested that students must be exposed to neuro-linguistic modelling approach early in their university live.

“…There is an expectation that learners will become expert learners. The Islamic pedagogy approach to personalised learning, and the importance of the teacher, is recognised by other researchers that identified the importance of the mindset of the teacher to the personal development of the student (Thang et al, 2015). Table I represents the deep relationship between Islamic pedagogy for personalised learning and endeavours to identify the characterising features.…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore what is believed to be a deep connection between Islamic pedagogy as a way to cultivate personal learning experiences. The paper discusses the relationship between the characterising features of Islamic pedagogy and personalised learning that remains central to Islamic institutional developments. The paper concludes by highlighting the importance of the embodiment of knowledge in Islamic pedagogy for personalised learning. Design/methodology/approach – The endeavours to define the characterising features that represents the relationship between Islamic pedagogy and knowledge embodiment. Findings – The paper proposes that Islamic pedagogy is dependent on both a personalised approach towards teacher and student embodiment. From an Islamic perspective, embodiment has a physical and spiritual dimension where prophecy is retained and is inherent to existence and daily practice. Without the embodied learning the Islamic approach towards pedagogy is seen to disconnect with many students seeking knowledge. This highlights the centrality of the teachers’ relationship with the student and the distinguishing belief of Islamic pedagogy in knowledge embodiment. Originality/value – The papers contribution to knowledge is in considering personalised learning within the context of Islamic education.

The increasing growth of technology affects all aspects of life, including the system of education, and requires the implementation of a new education system. Since Electronic-learning (E-L) is a new and mutated form of education in Iran, its professional functions approach is different from that of traditional education. The present article aims to explain the concept and dimensions of professional functions in this field. Through a qualitative study, method and data source triangulation were used. To do so, the data sources were the professors, scholars, students, and graduates of this educational system in the field of medical sciences. To triangulate the methods, in-depth semi-structured interviews as well as focus groups, note-taking and reminders were used. The purposeful sampling consisted of 10 professors and scholars. Fifteen students and graduates participated in the four-session focus group discussions purposeful, and the sample consisted of 10 professors and scholars as well as seven students and graduates, and a total of 15 students and graduates were willing to participate in the focus group discussions. Inductive content analysis was used for the analysis of data. Three themes arose from the study as follows: E-learning prerequisites, E-Leaning enabling factors, and E-Learning obstacles. Each of the themes is explained along with the relevant categories and subcategories. Discovering the dimensions and elements affecting professional functions in the E-Lsystem of medical sciences, this study provided documented meanings and dimensions of this phenomenon beyond the conventional sense. These dimensions can have direct or indirect impacts on professional functions in this field.
