English Language Lecturers’ Attitudes Towards E-learning in the Context of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs)

Ali Abdel Qader — 2025-03-30

The adoption of e-learning is often deemed essential during emergencies in the Gaza Strip. As a result, Many Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are compelled to transition their classrooms to online delivery. This study, therefore, attempted to investigate the attitudes towards e-learning held by the English Department faculty members at five HEIs in the Gaza Strip-Palestine. The data collection instrument used in this research was the Test of e-Learning Related Attitudes (TeLRA) scale. The collected data were analyzed through means and percentages using SPSS v20 statistical package. The findings show that the participants hold mildly favourable attitudes towards e-learning. It was speculated that lecturers holding mildly favourable attitudes towards e-learning rather than strongly favourable attitudes may be attributed to the lack of training and some other difficulties which may hinder the successful implementation of e-learning in the Gaza Strip HEIs. It is then recommended that training and professional development on e-learning need to be provided to the lecturers in order to raise their awareness of e-learning and its benefits. Further research on lecturers’ attitudes towards e-learning and the difficulties they may encounter while adopting e-learning is essential. Such research may enable lecturers to become aware of their attitudes towards e-learning. It may also help educators and other stakeholders find ways to overcome these difficulties, ultimately supporting the successful implementation of e-learning in the context of the Gaza Strip HEIs.

The study aims to analyze the differences in students' mathematical communication skills through the mind mapping learning model better than those given regular learning, analyze the differences in students' interest in learning mathematics through the mind mapping learning model better than those given regular learning, analyze the interaction between learning and students' initial abilities on mathematical communication skills, analyze the interaction between learning and students' initial abilities on students' interest in learning mathematics at Padang Sidempuan City Elementary School. The sample was determined as many as 54 people consisting of 2 (two) classes. The research design used in this study was an experimental design with a 2x3 factorial. The results of the study concluded that students' mathematical communication skills were taught with the mind mapping learning model better than using regular learning. Students' mathematical communication skills have a high learning interest better than those with a low learning interest. There is an interaction between learning and initial mathematical abilities on students' mathematical communication abilities. There is an interaction between learning and initial mathematical abilities on students' learning interests.

The research aims to analyze differences in students' mathematical problem solving abilities through the picture and picture learning model assisted by media and given regular learning, analyze differences in students' mathematics learning motivation through the picture and picture learning model assisted by video media and given regular learning, analyze the interaction between learning and ability students' initial abilities on students' mathematical problem solving abilities, and analyzing the interaction between learning and students' initial abilities on students' mathematics learning motivation at SDN 100312 Pargarutan Jae Tapanuli Selatan. The sample was determined as 62 people consisting of 2 (two) classes. The research design used in this research is an experimental design with a 2x3 factorial. The results of the research concluded that students' mathematical problem-solving abilities through the picture and picture learning model assisted by video media were better than if they were given regular learning at SD Negeri 100312 Pargarut.an Jae Tapanuli Selatan. Students' motivation to learn mathematics through the picture and picture learning model assisted by video media is better than being given regular learning at SD Negeri 100312 Pargarutan Jae Tapanuli Selatan. There is an interaction between learning and students' initial abilities on students' mathematical problem-solving abilities at SD Negeri 100312 Pargarutan Jae Tapanuli Selatan. There is an interaction between learning and students' initial abilities on students' mathematics learning motivation at SD Negeri 100312 Pargarutan Jae Tapanuli Selatan.

The Influence of the Contextual Teaching and Learning Model Assisted by Learning Videos in Improving Student Learning Outcomes and Motivation at SDN Sibangkua South Tapanuli

Lenni Marlina Siregar — 2025-04-18

The research aims to describe the difference in influence between the CTL learning model assisted by learning videos and ordinary learning on students' mathematics learning outcomes, describe the difference in influence between the CTL learning model assisted by video learning and ordinary learning on students' learning motivation, describe the interaction between learning and students' initial abilities on results students' mathematics learning, and describing the interaction between learning and students' initial abilities on students' learning motivation at SDN 100106 Sibangkua, South Tapanuli Regency. The research method used is a quasi-experimental method because students' conditions cannot be controlled. The data analysis technique uses 2x3 factorial Anova. The population of this study were students at SD Negeri 100106 Sibangkua, South Tapanuli Regency for the 2021/2022 academic year. The sample consisted of 2 classes consisting of 1 experimental class and 1 control class. The experimental class with the CTL model was assisted by video learning and the control class was taught using regular learning. The results of the research concluded that there was a difference in students' mathematics learning outcomes using the video-based CTL learning model with an average of 78.83 compared to regular learning with an average of 67.67. There is a difference in students' learning motivation using the video-based CTL learning model with a score of 70.42 and regular learning with a score of 66.07. There is an interaction between the learning model and initial mathematics abilities on students' mathematics learning outcomes (0.006<0.06). There is an interaction between the learning model and initial mathematics abilities on students' learning motivation (0.001<0.05).
