Abstract: This study examines the efficacy of blended learning for engineering technology students, integrating the strengths of traditional in-person instruction with the flexibility and innovation facilitated by virtual learning platforms. It analyzes student responses associated with their learning outcomes in an in-person and blended learning environment within an undergraduate engineering technology program offered in a hybrid format, comprised of six weeks of in-person instruction and six weeks of blended learning. The findings demonstrate that students perceived blended learning as more advantageous, with increased engagement, enhanced learning and conceptual development, felt more actively involved in the learning process, and maintained higher levels of motivation to perform better in the course. These discoveries establish that blended learning is an effective educational approach for engineering technology students, cultivating improved academic outcomes and student satisfaction. The overall evaluation showed that 77% of students in blended learning expressed satisfaction, in contrast, 48% of students in an in-person learning environment shared similar sentiments. It was found that 73% of students agreed with blended learning contributing towards their enhanced learning experience. In comparison, 38% students agreed with the same statement, when in a traditional in-person learning environment. However, 68% and 62% of students, in blended and in-person classroom settings respectively agreed that they felt engaged through their corresponding delivery platforms. While 82% of students felt active in a blended learning environment, compared with 60% expressed the same for an in-person classroom environment.

Abstract: The aim of this research is to evaluate the impact of project-based learning (PJBL) on writing skills of laboratory report for undergraduate female students at school of education in Al-Baha university. The study used a quasi-experimental design for the experimental and control groups, with a pre- and post-tests. The study sample included 40 female students distributed equally between the two groups. Learners in the experimental group were taught using the PJBL strategy while their peers in the control group were taught conventionally. The content analysis tool was employed to assess the writing skills of laboratory report components which include the introduction, methods and procedures, results and discussions. The Independent Samples T-test was used to compare the mean scores between the groups and Eta squared (η²) formula was employed to evaluate the effectiveness level. Post-test results showed that the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group. This improvement of the experimental group reached the highest level in writing the method and procedures, while remaining at the intermediate level in writing the introduction, results, and discussion. This suggests that the PJBL strategy was effective in improving laboratory report writing skills in all three components: the introduction, methods and procedures, and results and discussion, as well as in the overall score. The effect size (η²= 0.47) indicated the substantial impact of the PJBL strategy in developing the laboratory writing skills for science students. The study recommended the needs for training programs on teaching practices and group projects activities that enhance student skills in writing laboratory reports through engaging learners with the writing process and emphases on sharing newly learned scientific concepts.

Abstract: Man is a social creature who has all kinds of needs in the society, and the fulfillment of such needs is impossible without legal documents. On the one hand, higher education develops systematically and seriously, and on the other hand, it leads to the development and development of the country, and on the other hand, obtaining higher education without legal documents and using it correctly is difficult and may be impossible. Because these legal documents are necessary for the development of higher education sectors, so that higher education sectors are developed appropriately, necessary and legally. It is important that a country's all-round growth, production, agriculture, livestock, technology, increase in exports and decrease in imports, employment, especially for the country and its citizens, higher education is necessary and necessary, so that higher education can develop appropriately and interestingly in the light of legal documents. Therefore, the research of the legal documents of higher education and their effects is of special and interesting importance. The most important problem is that the development of higher education is impossible without legal documents, because legal documents have many effects on higher education. Needs opportunities. This work eases this problem by obtaining higher education according to legal documents and makes it useful in less time with less possibilities. This type of research has been conducted in the library and in the field, and historical, descriptive, analytical and comparative methods have been used. As a result, I can say that by conducting this research, it will be proven that the citizens of the dear country of Afghanistan should have higher education for the development of the nation. And plays an important role. The life of the country and its citizens will move forward in a good way, and the country will develop and grow day by day.
