The Motivation of Eighth Grade Students When They Learn the Parallelogram Subject in a Computerized Environment

The goal of the current study is to examine the impact of the computerized technological environment on the motivation of eighth graders while learning the subject of parallelogram, and whether there are differences in the level of motivation of students who studied parallelogram in a computerized environment and those who studied the same subject in a traditional school environment. The use of the semi-experimental descriptive analytical curriculum, which consisted of a sample of (30) eighth grade students who were selected in a deliberate manner was implemented. The main study tool is a set of pretests and posttests, along with a computerized intervention unit that is meant to enhance students’ motivation. The results of the study clearly indicate that the involvement of the computerized environment contributed to raising the students’ level of mastery of parallelogram as a subject in eighth graders by raising internal motivation. In light of the findings of the study, the researcher recommends adopting the results of the research, handling the computerized environment as an integral part of the educational system, and qualifying the teacher to be able to actively work within a computerized environment.

Digital Audit as an Imperative for Ukraine’s Way out From the COVID-crisis and a Tool to Increase the Competitveness of the State

The article is devoted to the issues of organization and prospects of audit development in terms of digitalization. The state and the measures needed to improve audit effectiveness in the context of automation are investigated and analyzed. The factors that negatively influence the audit digitization process and the possible directions of development of audit activity in the computerized environment are identified. The use of automation helps auditors process more data and focus on identifying risks, allowing for higher quality audits. Classification of information technology of audit, conditions for the development of audit software, factors that impede audit automation are given. Audit digitization is a new level in the audit field that is rapidly evolving and rapidly expanding in enterprises, especially those that use an automated accounting method. The software currently used by auditors needs to be refined to meet the demands of today's world. Digitization will become relevant for all audit firms seeking to gain competitive advantage and take a place in the audit services market.

Figuratively Semantic Support of Human-Computer Interactions

This chapter focuses on one more mental phenomenon – mental imagination that provides simulating the activity of human senses in conditions of interactions with a computerized environment. Constructive using of this phenomenon helps to represent possible situations discloses states of a life cycle of any new task that is important for study described in this book. Moreover, such possibility helps to predict the course of events in design process or in reality. For constructive work with mental imagery, we have developed a complex of means that provides figuratively semantic support of design thinking in work with a new task. A kernel of this complex is a set of interactive visual models of pictured, declarative and conceptually algorithmic types with a system of transformations defined on this set. Transformations help to build necessary (program) forms of visualization for any typical steps of design thinking based on conceptual experimenting.

Options for searching e-catalog by classification numbers

The potential of classification information retrieval languages in digital environment (both the functions inherited from card systematic catalogs and the new ones acquired for computerized environment) is examined. The problems of search by classification numbers are addressed and the solutions are offered.

An Online Bidding System (OBS) under Price Match Mechanism for Commercial Procurement

Online E-commence system has been growing rapidly in world. It’s become an increasingly popular method for commercial procurement. This study will come out with a model of online bidding system (OBS) can be bid in a computerized environment. The framework is designed to be a simple and easy to use the system. It provides real-time information during the bidding so that seller can check the current price for the registration number and revise his bid. At the same time, it could help buyer to notify the winner within open bidding process. Utilize the features like bid notification, OBS system will help buyer and seller to obtain fair price with great efficiency.

Theoretical Grounding for Computer Assisted Scholarly Text Reading (CASTR)

Digital humanities technology has mainly focused its development on scholarly text digitalization and text analysis. It is only recently that attention has been paid to the activity of reading in a computerized environment. Some main causes of this have been the advent of the e-book but more importantly the massive enterprise of text digitalization (such as Gallica, Google Books, World Wide library, and others). In this article, we analyze, in a very exploratory manner, three main dimensions of computer assister scholarly reading of text: the cognitive, the computational and the software dimension. The cognitive dimension of scholarly reading pertains not the nature of reading as a psychological activity but to the complex interpretative act of going through argumentations, narrations, descriptions, demonstrations, dialogues, themes, etc. that are contained in a text.

Scaffolding Problem-Solving and Inquiry

The study examines cognitive support for science learning in a computerized environment. The research was carried out with junior high school students, who used a problem-solving computerized environment in science. For this purpose, four support components were identified - structural, reflection, subjectmatter, and enrichment components. These components were used to construct four computerized cognitive support models based on human teaching. The effects of these support models on achievement, on cognitive and meta-cognitive skills, and on reflective behavior are compared to one another and to a control group. The results led to the construction of a theoretical-functional “Bridge Model”. The model elucidates the functions of the structural, reflective and subject-matter components upon the cognitive system, and offers an explanation of the research findings. The study and its main results are presented, as well as a theoretical description of the Bridge Model.
