This paper explores the gap between teachers and students’ attitudes toward learning about domestic violence and gay/lesbian issues in the EFL classrooms in a Japanese university. Results showed that students had positive feelings toward learning about domestic violence and gay/lesbian issues, whereas college instructors were sometimes hesitant or disliked teaching about these issues. Students had an intellectual curiosity toward these issues and indicated the connection between learning about these issues and personal growth. On the other hand, instructors showed a lack of confidence or anxiety about discussing these issues in their classrooms. 本論では、大学のEFL教室における、家庭内暴力と同性愛問題に対する学生と教師の意識の違いを研究した。結果として、学生はこれらのトピックを学ぶことに好意的であったのに対し、教師はその重要性を認識しながらも、あまり積極的には取り上げたくないという反応がみられた。学生はジェンダーやセクシュアリティの問題に対する知的好奇心を示し、学ぶことは自己成長につながると述べた。一方、教師はこれらの問題を教えることに対する不安や自信のなさを示した。

This study examined gifted students' perceptions and attitudes related to the “gifted” label and educational opportunities available to them. A questionnaire was administered to 305 students, ages 9–17, enrolled in a summer program for gifted children, Factor analysis of their responses yielded four factors: Acceptance of the Gifted Label, Perception of Ability as Incremental, Preference for Challenging Educational Opportunities, and Perceived Social Links to “Nongifted” Peers. A major finding was that gifted students hold a predominantly incremental view of their abilities. Results are discussed in terms of implications for students' academic and personal-social growth as well as a talent orientation for gifted education.

<p>Information technology (IT) has provided a new means for online learning outside conventional classrooms. By using IT, blended learning is an approach that gives the best advantage from class and online learning. It is also help the higher education to improve their understanding of how students see blended learning and formulate strategies to successfully implement blended learning. The aim of this research is to examine how students' attitudes towards various aspects of learning which can influence their readiness to participate in blended learning. We provide six aspects of learning and then collect 85 students as respondent. The analysis revealed three main findings. First, the use of technology in education is not an obstacle for students. Second, the ability to follow blended learning are influenced by four things namely attitudes toward online learning, study management, online interaction, and learning flexibility. Third, attitudes toward learning in class have a negative relationship with students' readiness to participate in blended learning. The last, student attitudes towards various aspects of learning can be important in assessing students' readiness for blended learning, which is a prerequisite for the successful application of blended learning.</p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: Blended learning, industry 4.0, student attitudes</p>

Students’ learning of statistics has been studied from a variety of angles, and this study is no different. The main purpose is to compare the Malay and Arab students’ attitudes toward learning statistics and their learning styles in understanding statistics. A survey questionnaire and face-to-face interview techniques were used to elicit information from 150 students based on the cohort. They were asked about how they learn to solve statistical problems based on Kolb’s four learning cycles: feeling, reflective observation, thinking, and doing. Attitude responses were numerically recorded based on a five-point Likert scale, while preference for learning styles was recorded as 1 (Do and Feel) or 0 (Watch and Think). Both attitude and learning style data were combined and subjected to Rasch analysis. Results show that a majority of the Arab and Malay students have moderate to high positive attitude toward learning statistics. Generally, students from both cultures are classified as the “Accommodating” type with a preference for doing and feeling from the experience of doing statistical problems. Arab students are classified as the “Assimilating” type with a preference for thinking, reflecting, and learning from observation, while Malay students are classified as the “Converging” type with a preference for thinking and doing statistical exercises.

This study uses the Learning-Style Inventory LSI (Smith & Kolb, 1985) to explore to what extent student attitudes toward learning process and outcome of online instruction and Distance Learning are affected by their cognitive styles and learning behaviors. It finds that there are not much statistically significant differences in perceptions on many learning process and outcome indicators across learning styles. However, students who learn from concrete experience and reflective experimentation/observation didnt appreciate the flexible class schedule, need instant questions and feedback, and expect more leniency from the instructor.
