The use of ICTs has become an obligation rather than an option for teachers. This intense pressure leads to a modern adaptation disorder expressed as technostress. Technostress is one of the many problems experienced particularly by beginning teachers, and the technostress levels of these teachers were investigated. For this purpose, in the 2015-2016 academic years, data were collected from 83 teachers having a professional seniority of 0-5 years. It was concluded that the general levels of technostress of the teachers were moderate, which they had a moderate-level technostress at the learning-teaching process-oriented, technical-issue-oriented, and social-oriented technostress factors, and they had a low-level of technostress at the profession-oriented and personal-oriented technostress factors. When examined in terms of the variables, while the general level of technostress does not vary by gender and branch group, it varies by the variable of average use of the internet. Finally, the solution proposals for technostress were examined.

Abstract: The present study aimed to identify the role of the Internet in improving the teaching skills from the perspective of professors and graduate students at Malang State University. Therefore, two questionnaires were set, the first for the professors in the Department of Arabic Language at the Malang State University and the second for the students of the higher studies in the same department.  These questionnaires were applied to a sample of 25 and a sample of 10 graduate students respectively.The research reached, through the preparatory study, to the following results :To begin with, creating groups, or online mailing groups, is mainly to strengthen the communication among supervisors, professors and students, as well as, the use of the Internet to remotely train teachers. Then, according to the findings, the main obstacles to the use of the Internet are the uncertainty of professors of its importance and uses, and the weak cooperation between teachers and administrative teachers. In addition to that, the most important ways to using the internet are providing schools and universities with the necessary equipment and programs to access to the Internet, and giving professors and teachers authority regarding educational matters. Furthermore, graduate students were rarely using the Internet to access educational sites. Moreover, the lack of programs that serve the educational teaching process is the biggest obstacle to the use of the Internet, which indicates the lack of an important element, namely, programs in Arabic. This is a common result between teachers and students. Last but not least, teachers and professors should be given some educational authority, while highlighting the importance of the Internet and its uses to some of them.المستخلص: تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى التعرف على دور الإنترنت في تحسين مهارات التدريس من وجهة نظر أساتذة وطلاب الدراسات العليا بجامعة مالانج الحكومية. فلذلك، تم وضع استبيانين، الأول للأساتذة في قسم اللغة العربية بجامعة مالانج الحكومية والثاني لطلاب الدراسات العليا في نفس القسم. وفقًا للنتائج، فإن العوائق الرئيسية أمام استخدام الإنترنت هي عدم اليقين من جانب الأساتذة حول أهميتها واستخداماتها، وضعف التعاون بين المعلمين والإداريين. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، تتمثل أهم طرق استخدام الإنترنت في تزويد المدارس والجامعات بالمعدات والبرامج اللازمة للوصول إلى الإنترنت ومنح الأساتذة والمدرسين السلطة فيما يتعلق بالمسائل التعليمية. وعلاوة على ذلك، نادراً ما يستخدم طلاب الدراسات العليا الإنترنت للوصول إلى المواقع التعليمية. علاوة على ذلك، فإن نقص البرامج التي تخدم عملية التدريس التعليمية هو أكبر عقبة أمام استخدام الإنترنت، مما يدل على عدم وجود عنصر مهم، وهو البرامج باللغة العربية. يجب إعطاء المعلمين والأساتذة بعض السلطة التعليمية، مع تسليط الضوء على أهمية الإنترنت واستخداماتها لبعضهم. كلمات مفتاحية: الإنترنت؛ مهارات التدريس؛ تدريس اللغة العربية؛ تدريس اللغة الثانية.

Modern geography - one of the most integrated and systemic spheres of scientific knowledge. On the other hand a subject of geography complex enough, difficultly studied. The basic purpose - to create good conditions the student for successful studying questions of geography at a modern level. One of ways - application of modern technologies. Now it is applied two basic technologies: Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Earth Observation (EO). Very good opportunities for studying geography are created with the Internet. It is obvious, that use of the Internet for teaching/learning still on a low level for the different objective and subjective reasons. First of all it is necessary to create conditions for teachers to raise qualification. It has to be stated that the Internet possibilities in the teaching process are insufficiently used. On the other hand, in principal there are no reliable studies, which would reveal the actual situation in this field. Therefore, the object of our study is the usage of the Internet for teaching geography. The main aim of the study is to analyse the situation of the usage of the Internet for teaching geography and highlight the hindering/encouraging factors of its usage in the teaching process. The most important study tasks have been formulated: • To analyse the situation of the usage of the Internet for teaching geography; • To identify the hindering/stimulating factors of Internet usage for teaching geography; • To highlight the experts’ opinion about the expected development perspectives of Internet usage for teaching geography in the nearest five years period. The study employed expert inquiry. The type of expert inquiry – “Delphi study”, containing several experts’ inquiries (stages). The data of every round are generalised and repeatedly submitted to the experts. Such procedure is repeated several times, most often 3-4 times. The study was carried out in September – December 2005. In opinion of 20% of experts use of the Internet the nearest five years considerably will grow up. Other experts (80%) have expressed opinion, that the increase will be insignificant. Experts are uniform in opinion, that the establishment of computers at schools yet does not solve a problem. Teachers of different subjects should have access to the Internet in classrooms. The opportunity to create search system in the Lithuanian language is important too.

This paper examines a few of the numerous factors that may have led to increased youth turnout in 2008 Election. First, theories of voter behavior and turnout are related to courting the youth vote. Several variables that are perceived to affect youth turnout such as party polarization, perceived candidate difference, voter registration, effective campaigning and mobilization, and use of the Internet, are examined. Over the past 40 years, presidential elections have failed to engage the majority of young citizens (ages 18-29) to the point that they became inclined to participate. This trend began to reverse starting in 2000 Election and the youth turnout reached its peak in 2008. While both short and long-term factors played a significant role in recent elections, high turnout among youth voters in 2008 can be largely attributed to the Obama candidacy and campaign, which mobilized young citizens in unprecedented ways.

Jerusalem played an important role in the establishment of collective memory studies by Maurice Halbwachs in the early twentieth century. Recent studies in this field draw attention to the contribution of a variety of agents to building, maintaining, and challenging collective memory realms. Following suit, this article deals with the methods that agents of an alternative collective memory for Jerusalem use to challenge the Israeli hegemonic narrative. Before reviewing their activities in East and West Jerusalem and their resources and impact, I summarize the hegemonic narrative as presented in four memory realms. Special attention is given to both sides’ use of the Internet as a means of overcoming the physical limitations of memory realms.

This article is devoted to the study of the multimedia environment of the polemic discourse in German media with its diverse formats of impact on the audience and the actively developing internal dynamics of texts. If at the end of the XXth century the specifics of German media were the use of the Internet site as one of the possibilities to present copies of newspapers and magazines in electronic form, today we can speak of modified, hybrid Internet versions of printed publications that do not just create websites on the Internet that duplicate their main activity, but also combines the features of the traditional press and features of the functioning of texts on the Internet. The transition from linear, monomedia broadcasting platforms to discrete, multimedia ones has a significant impact on the process of creating, designing and placing modern polemics. Texts of articles and user comments are considered in the article as tmaterialization of the polemic discourse in the media. Polemic texts are formed on the basis of intertextual structures and have a hypertext nature. The use of multimedia tools (a variety of fonts, graphics, animation, photo, video and sound) in the text of the article allows the author not only to expand the amount of information provided, but also to qualitatively supplement its content through inline inclusions tn the text, to express the meaning of information by referring to verbal and non-verbal means; to provide a visual and figurative presentation of information (graphs, charts, tables), to attract attention and influence the audience, as well as to provide readers with the opportunity to participate in information exchange.
