“…That is, student learning (dependent variable) did not change with student perception that their classmates and teacher cared about them. Such a lack of statistical significance is inconsistent with common theoretical assumptions and empirical findings [9,10,11]. The question becomes, do data mining techniques applied to these educational data provide information beyond that gleaned via statistical analysis such as multiple regression?…”

“…That is, unlike multiple regression analysis, application of RSRPA clearly established relationships between student's perception of their own capacity to learn and level of perceived classroom support from peers and the teacher. RSGUI findings are both intuitively and empirically [9,10,11] more meaningful than conventional statistical analysis. Establishing the validity of our data mining technique, students who expressed the perception that they understood their school very well (strongly agreed with the survey item) also agreed or strongly agreed with all survey items that indicated teacher support for students and most items that indicated peer support of learning.…”

-While educational data are typically analyzed with statistical software, data mining techniques are increasingly appropriate in revealing complex relationships among multiple variables in large amounts of data. We experimented with the rough set method in conjunction with statistical analysis to identify patterns in, and thereby extract meaning from, complex educational data. Results establish the benefits of combining rough set decision making with stochastic analysis in mining exceedingly complex and difficult to interpret educational data sets.

Teaching a language is a complex but interesting process. It involves teacher, learner, curriculum, and learning environment. Also this process is affected by certain social, cultural and psychological factors. This study is aimed at investigating the effectiveness of a proposed program for developing EFL learners' engagement in learning English. The sample of this study consisted of 103 females (M = 19.260, SD = 0.876 years), it was divided into two groups; the experimental group consisted of 53 girls and the control group consisted of 50 girls. Students' engagement was measured by the Handelsaman, Briggs, Sullivan, and Towler (2005) questionnaire, while their foreign language anxiety was measured by the Horwitz, Horwitz and Cope (1986) questionnaire. Students' motivation was measured by Gardner's (1985) Attitude and Motivation Test Battery (AMTB). The research applied continued for three months which included the proposed program. The data proved that there were statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the control group on the post-test of the engagement questionnaire, the foreign language anxiety scale as well as the students' motivation dimensions, showing a significant increase in students' engagement and motivation in favor of the experimental group. The findings also indicated that there were statistically significant differences between the pre-test and post-test results for the experimental group on the students' engagement and motivation. This shows that the experimental group had an increase in skills after having participated in the program as seen on the post-test. In light of these results, the study provides a number of procedural recommendations that may contribute to raising the degree of the importance of students' engagement and motivation training for the students with foreign language anxiety. The paper concludes that more training should be given in using all engagement activities by embedding them in regular classroom activities. Suggestions are offered for future research.

“…As Noddings (1992) argued, "Caring is the very bedrock of all successful education" (p. 27). Teachers are effective when they deeply care for students' learning (Lumpkin, 2007). A caring teacher can employ numerous effective teaching strategies to engage students' interest and learning.…”
