“…Therefore, based on the findings above, the following is concluded: The fact that during distance learning both parents seemed to be interested in the homework of their children with LD, regardless of their children's gender, could be considered positive. However, it seems that parents choose to involve in a less beneficial way (parental control), which is more alarming taking into consideration that children with LD usually need a more supportive and personalized way of parental guidance in their homework (Keeffe, 2017; Polychroni et al, 2006).…”

The present study investigated parental involvement in the homework of children with learning disabilities, during distance learning due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic. Also, the role of parents' fear of COVID‐19 and resilience in their involvement in homework was examined. The study involved 271 parents (140 mothers and 131 fathers) of children with learning disabilities, who studied in the fifth and sixth grade from4 schools of Thessaloniki (Greece). Parents completed a set of self‐reported questionnaires, which included a scale on parental involvement in homework, a scale on fear of COVID‐19, and a scale on resilience. According to the results, both mothers and fathers expressed a high fear of COVID‐19, a low sense of resilience, and were involved in homework mostly in terms of parental control. Parental involvement in homework was not significantly differentiated by children's gender and grade. Furthermore, the path analysis model showed that parents' fear of COVID‐19 predicted, indirectly and positively, parental control through the mediating role of resilience. The findings show how parents' current emotional state affects their involvement in the homework of children with learning disabilities. Finally, the findings imply the need for parental counseling during the pandemic, to feel more resilient and consequently supportive towards children's learning.

“…Related to the influence of the place of learning on children's learning achievement, Keeffe (2017) in a study revealed that the distance traveled by children from home to learning has a positive correlation with children's learning achievement. The results of other studies conducted by Essel, Tachie-Menson & Owusu (2018) revealed that there is a positive relationship between the distance of learning and student achievement, but a positive relationship is very low and not significant in influencing student academic achievement.…”

This study was conducted in order to determine the factors that influence the read ability of Hijaiyah Alphabet in pre-school age children. These factors are the worship places distance, worship frequency, study duration, and parental education. The research was conducted with a quantitative approach using survey methods. The sample of the research was 131 students from Kindergarten 'Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal (ABA) Karangharjo Berbah, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Data collection techniques in this research were using documentation and questionnaires. Data analysis with multiple regression analysis path analysis models. The results of data analysis showed that there was a large influence of the frequency of worship through length of study on the ability to read the Hijaiyah alphabet by 0.85. Distance of places of worship has little effect on the ability to read the Hijaiyah alphabet by 0.09. While parental education does not affect the ability to read the Hijaiyah alphabet with a coefficient of 0.04. Therefore, active participation from parents is needed to improve the read ability the Hijaiyah alphabet of pre-school children by always providing assistance and supervision in performing worship continuously with the help of technology that makes it easy for them to read the Hijaiyah alphabet.

“…Researchers note several contradictions that teachers face in the process of personalizing learning [16,17]: the desire to reward talented students often outweighs the need to deal with the poor performance of others; heavy workload and time constraints of teachers; the need to master new technologies. The solution to these problems is facilitated by smart devices and technologies that allow creating an intelligent learning environment and contribute to the development of personalized and adaptive learning [18].…”

To date, the existing principles of a unified approach to schooling do not meet the requirements of a fundamental socio-economic transition characterized by personalization and customization of products and services that concern all areas, including education. The paradigm of education systems is being restructured in many countries towards a new approach of personalized learning that is adapted to students' needs, allows them to choose individual educational trajectories, and respects unique skills and qualities. The study aimed to determine the impact of personalization on the academic performance of engineering students in physics. The experiment on personalized student support was conducted during the academic year 2018-2019 at I.T. Trubilin Kuban State Agrarian University. The sample covered 78 students. The starting point of the research was the assessment of students' skills in mathematics, as the study of physics is based on mathematical analysis and interpretation. Test in physics and the criterion of alpha Kronbach (test reliability is determined with a coefficient of 0.87) were used as a toolkit for research. Besides, the statistical tools and covariance analysis of data processing were employed. The research was supported by the SPSS Statistics software package. According to the results obtained, higher post-test scores were recorded for students in the experimental group. The personalized learning has been found to have a significant impact on the academic performance of students. Those with low and medium ability in mathematics demonstrated higher growth in academic achievement than students with recorded high aptitude scores. A correlation between learning methods and mathematical skills to achieve high academic performance has been established. The influence of personalization in the learning process was determined to be moderately high (determinacy coefficient of 72.6%). The study is relevant for the development of constructive approaches that could help teachers improve their approach to learning and students improve academic achievements. The results may be of interest to researchers of educational technology, educators, and university administration management.
