Virtual Reality in Education from the Perspective of Teachers

Virtual reality is the system in which users feel that they are in a virtual world with various equipment and the users interact with this world. With this feature, virtual reality is very useful for many fields of activity, as well as education. Virtual reality applications in education enable students to gain experiences that are dangerous or impossible for them to acquire in real life and learn by doing and living. For this reason, virtual reality is an important innovation for future educational environments. The population of this study is composed of teachers in private schools in Iraq in the 2017-2018 academic year. One hundred thirty teachers participated in the online questionnaire, 101 of which were considered valid. The sample consisted of 101 teachers who completed the questionnaire. Based on the findings, the results of the research were stated, and recommendations were developed. As a result of the research, we realized that the vast majority of teachers think that virtual reality is interesting, encourages students to be active, is suitable for students with schematic and visual thinking style, provides students with a general idea about the subject, facilitates the implementation of information, makes it easier to learn, and it provides a quick review of the course they have studied. They also think it requires concentration

A influência de educadores de compromisso corporativo na eficiência de instituições educacionais

The aim of this study is to determine the level of teachers' corporate commitment. For this purpose, a scale was applied to 47 teachers in 12 general schools. The scale is a 5-point Likert-type scale consisting of 28 items. The reliability and validity studies of the scale were conducted. As a result of factor analysis, it was found that this scale was a one-dimensional scale. The scale consists of 4 factors. These factors are named as subscales as following: dedication to the school, dedication to the teaching profession and dedication to the working group. The study concludes that the effective efficiency of institutions depends on the adaptation of the objectives and values of the school and its profession by teachers.El objetivo de este estudio es determinar el nivel de compromiso corporativo de los docentes. Para este propósito, se aplicó una escala a 47 maestros en 12 escuelas generales. La escala es una escala tipo Likert de 5 puntos que consta de 28 elementos.

Conclui-se que a eficiência efetiva das instituições depende da adaptação dos objetivos e valores da escola e da sua profissão pelos professores

The Significance of Mathematical Literacy in Today’s Society

Since mathematics is frequently thought of as a difficult topic, many people assume that it is only applicable in academic contexts or specialized occupations. However, mathematical literacy is crucial to many facets of contemporary culture, including daily activities, money management, and critical thought. In this article, we’ll examine the value of mathematical literacy while emphasizing its real-world uses and showing how it enables people to successfully manage the challenges of modern life. The typical misunderstanding about mathematics is highlighted in this introductory sentence because it is frequently perceived as a challenging subject with little application outside of academic or specialist professions. The article seeks to refute this idea by highlighting the vital importance of mathematics literacy in all facets of contemporary life. It highlights how the importance of mathematics literacy on our daily lives, financial decisions, and critical thinking processes goes well beyond the classroom

Teaching Mathematics: The Role of Project-Based Learning

Project-Based Learning is a form of instruction that involves students in challenging, real-world projects which gives students an opportunity to investigate and build knowledge via practical application. Students actively participate in the project planning, execution, and evaluation processes, which promotes a sense of freedom and responsibility. Teams of students use their varied views and skills to solve complicated challenges. Their collaboration improves interpersonal, critical thinking, and communication abilities, reflecting the importance of teamwork in real-world workplaces. This article provides an overview of project-based learning, highlighting its key features and benefits in fostering critical skills and knowledge acquisition in mathematics learning

The Impact of Technology-Aided Instruction on Motivation of Geometry Learners

Rapid development of technology has made it inevitable to use it in the classes. As the scope of technology is wide and it is continuously renewed, it has brought changes in the way and style of using it also. The fact of how technology is implemented is one of the main factors affecting class management. In the applications of technology-aided education based on a behavioral approach, traditional lecturing method is supported, and motivation of the students is enhanced. In a class that is created by use of constructivist approach, student-centered studies are given more attention. Therefore, classroom management techniques will automatically change. Many students have difficulty in perceiving the key concepts in geometry and prefer to leave the geometry lessons without learning even the very basic terminology. Systematic geometry teaching might help students to obtain a better geometry knowledge and success since their motivation will rise. The study aims to show the facilitating role of technology-based teaching in increasing student motivation. Moreover, the current study tries to explain whether the use of technology in the classroom can increase geometry learning

Challenges and Opportunities of E-Learning in Secondary School in Iraq

E-Learning has become an integral part of educational settings because of the advancements in information and communication technologies.
