Ezz, Mohamed; Elshenawy, Ayman – Education and Information Technologies, 2020
Some of the educational organizations have multi-education paths such as engineering and medicine collages. In such colleges, the behavior of the student in the preparatory year determines which education path the student will join in the future. In this paper, an adaptive recommendation system is proposed for predicting a suitable education…

About half of the world's population remains without access to internet in an era of digital transformation. In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of implementing the use of logic and mathematics through digital literacy on a population of elementary school students in a town in Northeast Brazil. In a non-randomized experimental…

Bell, Edward C.; Fike, David S.; Liang, Dong; Lockman, Paul R.; McCall, Kenneth L. – Education and Information Technologies, 2017
Computer module intervention is the process of exposing students to a series of discrete exercises for the purpose of strengthening students' familiarity with conceptual material. The method has been suggested as a remedy to student under-preparedness. This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of module intervention in improving and…
