And Performance

The purpose of this study was to investigate the erroneous use (misuse) of homographs among EFL learners of the College of Foreign Languages to determine the misuse of homographs among EFL learners, find out the ability of EFL learners to distinguish homographs, and enrich learners with different usage of some words included in the homographs. The sample of the study consisted of 30 participants, 15 each of male and female students, randomly selected from 7th – 8th levels of the College of Foreign Languages in Albaha University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The participants were assigned to (2) different experiments. A homograph definition was given to them at the beginning of the experiments to make sure that they were equivalent and homogenous. Two different tests were undertaken by the students and the results were obtained. The findings revealed a significant deficiency of students in the first experiment in which they were required to give multi-meanings for each homographic word. This led to the conclusion that there is a serious learning problem as seen in the students’ competence and performance.

This study is focused on the problems faced by female students residing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Many of these female students live far from their colleges and they have to travel from villages to cities in order to obtain a university degree. In so doing they travel long distances everyday using various modes of transport. As they are not permitted to drive, these students depend on male drivers to take them to their colleges. The aim of this study was to investigate and identify problems associated with such modes of transport. Results show that most students experience some problems and encounter disproportionate levels of hardship. The findings were based on a survey carried out in the Kingdom and was distributed to representative sample of female students. This paper includes a detailed analysis of the data from which a number of conclusions and recommendations were made. The conclusions suggested that the travel situation encountered by female students who travel by passenger car could be improved in terms of time, cost and convenience. Thirteen percent of female students rated the vehicles they used to be in unacceptable condition for traveling while 6% marked the drivers as not violating traffic rules, and the majority (53%) was captives to their current mode of transportation.

The Impact

The research aims to know the uses of university students for smartphones and the achieved gratifications and the impact of its uses on the individual identity. The descriptive approach was used to achieve the goal of the research and the questionnaire tool to collect data through distributing it to a sample (200 students) at Imam Abdul Rahman bin Faisal University in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The results of the research showed that 60% of the sample use the smartphone at a rate of three hours and more daily on a regular basis. The university accounts and friends top the list of accounts that you do not follow, and most of the accounts are in Arabic and mainly Saudi. The research revealed that 87% of female students use the real identity in the virtual world and 12.5% ​​use a pseudonym. Recreational sites attract female students first 78%, followed by scientific sites 53%, then news sites 41%, religious sites 24% in addition to shopping sites and literary and cultural sites. In the ranking of social media, WhatsApp ranked first, followed by Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram and finally YouTube. The research also revealed the awareness of female students of the excessive use that sometimes leads to digital addiction and its physical, psychological and intellectual risks. That is why we recommend media campaigns, awareness- raising workshops and seminars to rationalize the use of smartphones in universities and educational institutions in general.

The aim of the study was to identify the understanding of elementary school students of numerical concepts, and the beliefs of their teachers about this understanding. To achieve this goal, the content of the mathematics sixth grade textbook was analyzed to identify the numerical concepts. Then, a conceptual diagnostic test consisting of 24 multiple-choice questions to measure the understanding of numerical concepts was designed. Another questionnaire was built to measure the teachers' beliefs about their students understanding of these concepts. The teachers' questionnaire included 24 concepts as well. The sample size was 1411 male and female students; and the sample size of teachers was 528 mathematics teachers. Both were drawn randomly from three cities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The test of students showed that about 4.2% of the numerical concepts were highly understandable, whereas the questionnaire showed that teachers believed their students understood 17% of the concepts. Furthermore, students moderately understood about 37.5% of the concepts, while the questionnaire showed that teachers believed their students moderately undersood about 83% of the concepts. Moreover, the test showed that about 58.3% of the concepts were poorly understood, whereas the questionnaire showed that there were no concepts that would be poorly understood. The study found that there were statistically significant differences due to gender, credential, and experience; however, there was no statistically significant difference attributed to training on teachers' beliefs about students' understanding of mathematics.

Since 1927, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has continuously committed substantial sums of money—and corresponding amounts of energy and effort—into educating its citizens abroad. From the first six students to be sent to Cairo to acquire higher education, to the currently almost 200,000 students studying a wide variety of disciplines across the world, this phenomenon has come a long way indeed. In addition, due to a booming economy and high per capita income, many Saudi families can privately afford to send their wards of university age to study abroad. This article provides a brief survey of the latest figures released by the Saudi Ministry of (formerly Higher) Education with regard to Saudi students’ outward mobility, reviewing trends for scholarship and privately-funded students by destination country, field of study, and academic level. It also briefly examines the inclusion of large numbers of Saudi female students in this cohort, and the accompanying social and cultural implications of this trend on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
