online education

The purpose of this study was to investigate the policy-making processes for online education at the primary level, focusing on the objectives, content, strategies, resources, and assessment practices. It aimed to identify the challenges and opportunities within these policies to enhance the effectiveness of online education.

This cross-sectional survey study involved 384 educators, administrators, and policymakers in the primary education sector. Data were collected via a researcher-made questionnaire to gather comprehensive insights into the participants' perceptions of online education policies. The questionnaire was validated through a pilot study, and data analysis was conducted using SPSS and SMART-PLS for quantitative responses and thematic analysis for qualitative responses. Confirmatory factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha coefficients were utilized to assess the reliability and validity of the constructs within the questionnaire.

The findings revealed a general consensus on the importance of clearly defined objectives, engaging content, and effective strategies for the successful implementation of online education policies. Challenges identified include the need for better technology infrastructure, financial resources, and professional development for educators. The analysis also highlighted the significance of affective and psychomotor domains in online education, which are often overlooked in policy making. Participants expressed a desire for more innovative and interactive online learning environments to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes.

The study concludes that while there are significant opportunities to enhance the quality and effectiveness of online education through policy improvements, there are also considerable challenges that need to be addressed. These include the integration of affective and psychomotor learning goals, the development of comprehensive support systems for educators, and the improvement of technology and financial infrastructures. Policymakers and educators must work collaboratively to refine online education policies, ensuring they are inclusive, effective, and capable of meeting the diverse needs of primary education students.

Today, the use of online education significantly has grown in compared to the past. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of components of the field of artistic aesthetics on online education.

The present study in terms of purpose was practical and in terms of implementation method was interventional with a pretest, posttest and one-month follow-up design. The research population was the fourth grade students of district 2 of Tehran city in the 2021-22 academic years. The number of 50 people of them were selected by cluster sampling method and randomly replaced into two experimental and control groups. The experimental group was trained for one month from Saturday to Wednesday in the field of artistic aesthetics in Skyroom, and the control group was trained with the usual method in Skyroom. The research tool was a researcher-made online education questionnaire with 13 items, which the face validity by the opinion of experts was confirmed, and its reliability with the test-retest method was obtained above 0.80. The data were analyzed by methods of variance analysis with repeated measurements and Bonferroni post hoc test in SPSS version 19 software.

The findings of the present research showed that teaching the components of the field of artistic aesthetics led to increase all variables of online education including music and sound, dramatic movements, imagery, visual arts, digital media and film, animation, storytelling and narrative, recognition of colors and lines, poetry and text, pantomime, rhythmic story writing, humor and puppet shows were improved in students and these results remained in the one-month follow-up phase (P<0.05).

The results showed the effect of the intervention based on the components of the field of artistic aesthetics on all variables of online education. Therefore, can be used the method of teaching the components of the field of artistic aesthetics along with other educational methods to improve online education.

The purpose of this research was to identify the antecedents and consequences of moral responsibility based on online training for teenagers.

This research is fundamental-applied in terms of its purpose; And in terms of the type of data, it was qualitative. The statistical population included the first group, academic experts: professors of Islamic Azad University and Farhangian University and teacher training centers, and the second group, organizational experts: managers, assistants, and educational and research experts of education departments in Tehran. In order to determine the samples, a targeted non-probability sampling method was used, and 20 people were considered as the sample size using the principle of saturation. The data collection tool was semi-structured interviews. The method of data analysis in the qualitative part of theoretical coding was derived from the data theorizing method of Nizamand Foundation.

The results of the analysis showed that among the 101 indicators (items) available, 18 main components could be identified; Also, the results showed that ethical responsibility includes the components of ethical attitude in education, satisfaction with education, control and accountability. In addition, the factors affecting moral responsibility included culture, structure, teacher, and curriculum.

improving the quality of learning, moral diversity, were introduced as consequences; Management, technological and behavioral mechanisms, including environmental, social and educational platforms and obstacles including technological and educational obstacles were introduced as the results of the research.

The aim of this study was to design a combination learning model in technical and vocational education.

This study was applied in terms of purpose and exploratory (quantitative and qualitative) in terms of implementation method. The research population was in the qualitative part of documents and resources and specialists in the field of combined learning and in the quantitative part were the principals and students of technical and vocational schools in Zanjan province in the academic year 2018-19. The sample of research was in the qualitative part of documents and resources related to combined learning and 17 experts in the field of learning who were selected according to the principle of theoretical saturation by sampling method of network experts and in the quantitative part were 176 administrators and students who according to Krejcie and Morgan table with Cluster sampling method was selected. Data were collected by filing methods, interviews and a researcher-made questionnaire (39 items) whose face and content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed and its reliability was obtained by Cronbachchr('39')s alpha method of 0.81. Qualitative data were analyzed by open and axial coding method based on Klein model and quantitative data were analyzed by Delphi methods to determine the validation of the model and t-test.

The results showed that combined learning in technical and vocational education included 43 basic concepts and 9 structural concepts including learning objectives, learning content, learning activities, learning strategies, grouping, learning materials and resources, learning time, learning location and evaluation. The combined learning model of design and its validity by experts with Delphi method was approved in two stages and the number of basic concepts was reduced from 43 to 39. The results of t-test also showed that technical readiness and readiness of human factors combined learning had an effective role in technical and vocational education.

According to the results, the designed model of combined learning approved by experts can be used in combined learning environments in technical and professional organizations and can be a criterion for future research in this organization.
