Investigating the Perception of Students Regarding M-Learning Concept in Egyptian Schools
No full textThe Egyptian school education systems is currently in a miserable state and facing some problems. To overcome the problems, there is a suggestion towards the development and implementation of mobile learning (m-Learning) as a new learning tool in the education system. The aim of this paper is to investigate the Egyptian students’ perception towards m-learning as a new learning tool and its benefits through a survey of 120 students from a public preparatory school in Egypt. Data was gathered and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) Version 23. The results demonstrated a positive attitude from the participants towards the benefits of M-learning. The majority of students showed their concerns about technical issues of m-learning such as the small screen and limited storage. The results also revealed the positive attitude towards the value of M-learning, especially for those who use E-learning resources. A large proportion of participants use their devices for different activities such as messages, Internet browsing and games rather than learning. This has point the need for more investigation to determine the factors that may affect the students' intention to use their devices in learning.</jats:p
Empirical Analysis on Factors Impacting on Intention to Use M-learning in Basic Education in Egypt
No full textIt is apparent that m-learning will continuously have a massive role in terms of development in teaching and learning methods for education. Student's intention to use this technology is the main factor that eventually leads to a success in implementing m-learning. The objectives of this particular research are to come up with the development and examination towards a research model to uncover the factors that have important effects on the intention to use mobile learning for basic education in Egypt. A research model was developed through extending the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) by incorporating two additional factors namely; learners' autonomy (LA) and content quality design (CQD). A quantitative approach based on cross-sectional survey was used to collect data from 386 respondents.. The methodology used in this study was a Partial Least Squares (PLS) that was expected to test the model empirically. The results showcased that learners' autonomy (LA), performance expectancy (PE), facilitating conditions (FC), and social influence (SI) are significant in relation to behavioural intention (BI) to use m-learning while effort expectancy (EE) did not show the impact on intention to use mobile learning. The research also found that content quality design (CQD) affects significantly on performance expectancy (PE) and effort expectancy (EE). The possible development in future research and the limitations of the findings are also discussed later in this paper
Unlocking AI-Powered Tools Adoption among University Students: A Fuzzy-Set Approach
No full textThis study examines, from a post-pandemic theoretical perspective, university students' continuous intention (CI) to utilise AI-powered tools for educational purposes. AI-powered tools are new and underutilised in higher education. The fact that students and teachers need knowledge to use these apps in the classroom compounds the issue. Despite this technology's recent academic introduction, nothing is known about its impacts. In order to investigate the variables that influence the continual intention to employ artificial intelligence, this study discusses the possibility of integrating the self-determination theory (SDT) and technology acceptance model (TAM) with the post-acceptance model (PAM). Three hundred forty university students were solicited to complete a questionnaire to collect data for the proposed model. A dual-stage approach uses both symmetrical assumptions from structural equation modelling with partial least squares (PLS-SEM) and asymmetrical configurations from fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). In order to better comprehend the intricate interplay between the model's inputs and its desired output, this approach is devised. Consideration is given to the fact that various configurations of external constructs exert distinct influences on internal constructs. In Thailand, perceived usefulness (PU) and autonomy predict continued AI-powered tool use. Perceived ease of use (PEOU) did not affect continuing intention. Conclusions drawn from the configurational analysis show that no single factor adequately explains a high CI level. Rather, three distinct configurations were identified as improving CI using AI-powered tools. Overall, theoretical and practical ramifications are addressed

Interrelationship between dental maturity, skeletal maturity and chronological age in saudi male children
No full textAssessment of skeletal maturity and dental development is a common clinical practice in many health professions. Aims of this investigation were: 1) to test the applicability of the Demirjian46 method and the Greulich and Pyle47 atlas to the Saudi male children. 2) to study the relationship between dental maturity, skeletal maturity and chronological age in Saudi male children, and 3) to study the association between the dental maturity markers and the skeletal maturity stages in Saudi male children. Materials and Methods: The sample consisted of panoramic and hand-wrist radiographs of 148 Saudi male children between 9 and 15 years of age. Demirjian46 method was used to estimate the dental age through the assessment of different calcification stages of the left mandibular dentition. Skeletal age was determined using Greulich and Pyle47 atlas and skeletal maturity stage was established utilizing Björk’s21 skeletal maturity indicators. Results: Paired sample T-test revealed no significant difference between the mean dental, skeletal and chronological age. Tendency toward late skeletal maturation and early dental maturation was observed. Spearman rank order test showed high correlation between skeletal maturity markers and dental maturity markers of the 1st premolar (r=0.729) and 2nd molar (r=0.720). Conclusion: chronological age is a reasonable indicator of the dental and skeletal maturation in Saudi male children. The dental maturation stage of the left mandibular 1st premolar and 2nd molar can be used to predict the skeletal maturity stage in Saudi male children. The skeletal maturity rate of Saudi male children is analogous to previously reported rates in other groups with different ethnic backgrounds.Corresponding Author:

Rereading Foundations of Muslim Retribution for the Infidel Dhimmi from the Perspective of Imami Jurisprudence
No full textQisas (retribution) is the counteraction of a deliberate crime against the physical integrity of a person. Although this type of punishment existed in various Abrahamic religions, its implementation in the criminal policy of Islam is subject to the fulfillment of conditions that make it different from other religions. One of the conditions is the equality of the criminal and the victim in religion. Although there is a different point of view among the jurists regarding this condition, the famous Imami jurists and most of the Sunni jurists believe in it. According to that, a Muslim is not retaliated for infidel Dhimmi by a crime. On the contrary, an infidel is retaliated for crime against a Muslim. This issue, which evokes a kind of religious discrimination, needs serious consideration. In the forthcoming research, the author explained and analyzed the foundations and documents of the famous view in a descriptive-analytical way and reached this conclusion. Because of the Incoming criticisms, their jurisprudential documents to prove their point of view are doubted. On the contrary, the documentation of the equality view in retribution between Muslim and infidel is predominant. The group of narrations that observes equality in retribution has priority over other categories in terms of issuing preference and implication preference, such as agreeing with the appearances of the retribution verses
Perspectives of Students’ Behavior Towards Mobile Learning (M-learning) in Egypt: an Extension of the UTAUT Model
No full textThe rapid development of third-generation (3G)
mobile technologies has led to the emergence of a new kind of
learning called mobile learning (m-learning). M-learning means
the use of mobile devices to access learning materials at anytime
and anywhere with the aid of mobile terminals and networks.
This paper explores the possibility of applying m-learning for
schools in Egypt through a proposed model of acceptance factors
that may affect the students’ intentions to adopt m-learning. We
use the original model of Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use
of Technology (UTAUT) and extended it with three new factors
mobility, interactivity, and enjoyment
