The Relationship

This study was conducted to determine the relationship between nursing students’ awareness and attitudes towards research and developments and their academic motivation levels. This descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out with students from nursing department of faculty of health sciences of a university in Turkey (n=460). Data were collected using the questionnaire form which included the socio-demographic characteristics of those students, “Nursing Students’ Attitudes to and Awareness of Research and Development within Nursing Scale” and “Academic Motivation Scale”. Data were analyzed using percentage, mean, Pearson’s correlation analysis, Student’s t, and One Way Anova tests. The mean age of the students was 20.56±1.52. 81.1% were female and 28.7% were in their first year. The average score of the Nursing Students’ Attitudes to and Awareness of Research and Development within Nursing Scale was 120.54±17.46. The students’ mean score on intrinsic motivation subscale was 57.20±13.45, on extrinsic motivation subscale was 61.96±11.50 and on amotivation subscale was 10.12±5.87 in Academic Motivation Scale. The level of the students’ awareness and attitudes towards research and developments has a positive correlation with the levels of their intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and a negative correlation with the level of their amotivation (p<0.05). The average score of the Nursing Students’ Attitudes to and Awareness of Research and Development within Nursing Scale were statistically significantly different in the gender, the status of their following scientific publications and the positions they wanted to work after graduation (p<0.05). It has been determined that the students have high level of awareness and attitudes towards research and development, and their academic motivation levels affect their awareness and attitudes towards research and development.

This study addresses the attitudes of 4th year teacher–students of mathematics and Special Education Specializations at Jubail College of Education towards teaching, and the relationship to their achievement (degree) in the specialized mathematical courses of educational preparation. The theoretical importance of studying the attitudes of teacher-students of mathematics and Special Education for students with mathematics learning abilities student-teachers‘ (students studying in College of Education) attitudes stems from its importance in future planning of teaching at the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) level. In addition, it is an influential factor in broadening students’ admission to the College of Education. Also, the stage addressed by this study is critical because it is the final stage of the students’ study. These students are about to graduate and head for field and practical application where the specialized educational courses appear to be mostly beneficial. The study sample that was randomly selected consisted of the (28) Mathematics Department’s female students who were studying “Mathematics Methodology” at the 6th level, and “Design and Develop Mathematics Lessons” at the 7th level of the scholastic year 1435/1436h.The sample also consisted of (45) Special Education female students studying “Mathematics for Special Education Teachers” at the 7th level of the scholastic year 1435/1436.The study instrument consisted of “The Attitude towards Teaching Scale”, which was sought from a study conducted by the researcher Ahmad Al-Hussein, with the title “Attitudes of Imam Mohammad bin Saud Islamic University Students Towards Teaching”. The instrument consisted of (32) paragraphs with a 5-point rating scale (completely agree, agree, do not know, disagree, strongly disagree), which was extracted from the peer-reviewed scientific periodical of Education and Psychology Message, issued by Saudi Educational and Psychological Association, No.(35) of the year (2010).The study adopted the reviewer’s validity Chronbach Alpha for internal consistency to calculate the reliability of the study instrument which was (0.73) for the study instrument scale used to measure the attitudes towards teaching. This value is adequate for the research purposes of the study. Statistical treatment was concerned with calculating the means and standard deviation, Pearson correlation coefficient between the means of the study sample attitudes towards teaching and their achievement in the courses of specialized mathematical courses of educational preparation. Regression analysis was also calculated, in addition to the ANOVA variance, to identify the relation of attitudes common among the study sample towards teaching as an independent variable, and their degree in the specialized mathematical courses of educational preparation as a dependent variable. The study concluded that there is a weak attitudinal correlative relationship, towards teaching with the degrees of students from the Mathematics and Special Education Department, according to the statistical treatments, in specialized teaching methods of mathematics/education courses. The weakness of such correlation is ascribed to the weakness of some of students’ attitudes as shown from their response to the paragraphs of the questionnaire. This requires fostering and developing students’ attitudes towards teaching in a way that helps in raising their achievement at the specialized mathematics/education courses. The study recommended that educators at the Colleges of Education should consider fostering attitudes towards teaching, because it raises students’ achievement at the educational courses in particular, and academic courses for the students of the Colleges of Education in general.

The Relationship

College students are sleeping less during the week than reported a few years ago. Lack of sleep among college students has been identified as one of the top three healthrelated impediments to academic performance by the American College Health Association’s National College Health Assessment survey; and it is associated with lower grades, incompletion of courses, as well as negative moods. This research examines the underlying dynamics of lack of sleep on academic motivation, a key predictor of academic performance. Specifically, the relationship of sleep habits with self-efficacy, performance versus mastery goal orientation, persistence, and tendency to procrastinate were investigated. Findings indicate that 42% of the participants (159 students out of a total of 377) experience excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS); and those identified with EDS tend: (1) to be motivated by performance goals rather than mastery goals; (2) to engage in procrastination (a self-handicapping strategy) to a greater extent than students who are rested; and (3) to have decreased self-efficacy, as compared to students not reporting EDS. Several recommendations for campus health professionals to consider for a Healthy Campus Initiative are made based on the findings.

The Relationship

This study focused on college students’ attitudes toward the relationship between online civic responsibility and online civic engagement and its impacts. It also investigated the mediating roles of online civic learning and online civic expression in this relationship. A survey was conducted in Taiwan, testing for indirect effects with mediated variables using a structural equation model. The study tested hypotheses about the mediations of online civic learning and online civic expression on this relationship between online civic responsibility and online civic engagement for college students. The results indicate that the mediators of online civic learning and online civic expression fully mediate the relationship between online civic responsibility and online civic engagement.
