“…This indicates that both instructors and students must participate equally in the teaching and learning process in order for shared accountability to result (Gharti, 2019). The significant correlation between autonomy and motivation is predicated on the premise that a learner will be more motivated if they are more independent (Ahmed et al, 2022).…”

The aim of this study is to determine the level of self-directed learning readiness among undergraduate students belonging to Generation Z in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. The study sample was 225 undergraduate students in the English language and literature departments across three universities located in Erbil, Halabja, and Sulaymaniyah. The study used a quantitative approach using a questionnaire. The results showed that there was no significant difference between male and female students in terms of self-control and self-management. However, a slight difference emerged in terms of their desire for learning. A considerable variation was found between first- and fourth-year students in terms of their level of self-control. Furthermore, the results revealed a significant difference between the cities, with students from Erbil demonstrating a higher readiness level for self-directed learning compared to their peers in the other two cities. These findings provide valuable insights into the self-directed learning preparedness of undergraduate students in Kurdistan. They suggest the need for targeted efforts to promote self-directed learning, particularly in areas where readiness level is lower.

“…Komunikasi adalah suatu proses penyampaian informasi (pesan, ide, gagasan) dari satu pihak kepada pihak lainnya. Komunikasi akan lebih efektif apabila pesan yang disampaikan dapat ditafsirkan sama oleh penerima pesan (Sun et al, 2022;Abdalwahid et al, 2022;Onofrei et al, 2022).…”

This research aims to describe communication principles and ethics in the use of new media. Currently, in the digital era and increasingly advanced technological developments, it has an impact on all people's lives which have now shifted and become dependent on the use of new media. The qualitative descriptive method was carried out using interview, FGD and documentation data collection techniques. Next, data analysis was carried out using Miles and Huberman analysis starting from data collection, display, verification and conclusion. The results of the research show that communication ethics is very necessary for every human being, where someone's polite and/or impolite ethics can be seen from the way they communicate with other people, not only directly in the real world but also in the virtual world. In this article, the author finds several phenomena and cases to prove how important communication principles and ethics are in the use of new media.

“…Another study was conducted to assess the impact of social media on academic performance, political views, and the economic situation of the students (14) . Few studies aimed to assess the benefit of the Internet and social media to improve the interaction between students and lecturers, in addition to improving their English language (15,16) . Even though a lot of studies examined the effect of social media on academic performance among university students, no recent study assessed the effect on their face-toface social interaction with others and the effect on their mental health for different colleges.…”

Background: Social media is an online communication tool that is now a necessary component of our everyday existence. It enables people to communicate, exchange data, and produce web content. This article aims to display the effect of social media on academic performance, social interaction, and mental health among a sample of Iraqi university students. Patients and methods: The study was conducted on 440 Iraqi students from different colleges, and the data were collected through a questionnaire. Results: The majority of the sample (98.4%) mentioned they currently use social media, and the mobile phone was the most used device (95.9%) for viewing social media. The study found that social media has both positive and negative effects on social interaction and academic performance. Most of the participants (60.7%) and (21.6%) agreed and strongly agreed that the use of social media is improving connection and information exchange with others. However, (30.9%) strongly agreed that social media may lead them to limit their time with friends and family members. Regarding academic performance, most of the sample (44.5%) strongly agreed that the use of social media may lead to wasting time specified for studying, and 26.8% of them strongly agreed that it distracted them from studying. More than half of those students (53.4%) agreed and strongly agreed that social media harms their academic performance in general. Conclusion: The study concluded that social media has a significant impact on the academic performance, social interaction, and mental health of university students, and it is important to spread awareness among them to reduce excessive and bad use of social media.
