This paper provides reflections on my first semester of teaching emergency remote teaching (ERT), due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. After describing the context, I have described the choices I made in order to create and maintain an online learning environment, where student interaction is maximised, and enables the instructor to focus on the role of being a facilitator. Though it was not without a few challenges, overall, it could be considered a successful first attempt with possibly more teacher-student and student-student interaction achieved by the end of the semester.

Aims: To determine the classroom learning environment in terms of goal orientation, physical facilities, student-student interaction, teacher-student interaction, method of teaching, and the degree of self-efficacy in mathematics; and establish if there is a significant relationship between their classroom environment and the degree of self-efficacy in mathematics.  Study Design: Descriptive correlational research design.            Place and Duration of Study: College of Engineering, University of Eastern Philippines, Catarman, Northern Samar in the school year 2012-2013. Methodology: Complete enumeration of 260 freshmen students from the College of Engineering courses: Bachelors of Science in Agricultural Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering enrolled in Mathematics were surveyed using the 50-item Learning Environment Schedule developed by Sunitha and Mathematics Self-efficacy Survey developed by Betz and Hackett. The data gathered were tabulated, analyzed, and treated statistically using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 16.0 Version). Results: With the total score of 50594 out of 65000 and a mean of 3.89, the respondents found the classroom learning environment in terms of goal; orientation, physical facilities, student-student interaction, teacher-student interaction, and methods of teaching to be favorable; that the total score of 17634 and a mean of 3.61 showed that respondents had much confidence or had high self-efficacy in Mathematics; and that the Pearson r of .187 with the respective significant value of .001, ,000, ,011, and,000, goal orientation, student-student interaction, teacher-student interaction and methods of teaching were found to have a significant relationship with self-efficacy in mathematics; and only physical facilities was not significantly correlated to self-efficacy in mathematics. Conclusion: Classroom learning environment variables are significantly related to self-efficacy in mathematics.

A growing number of studies seek to evaluate the impact of school closures during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. While most studies reported severe learning losses in students, some studies found positive effects of school closures on academic performance. However, it is still unclear which factors contribute to the differential effects observed in these studies. In this article, we examine the impact of assignment strategies for problem sets on the academic performance of students (n 24,000 from classes 4-10 who calculated 560,000 problem sets) in an online learning environment for mathematics, during the first and second period of pandemic-related school closures in Germany. We observed that, if teachers repeatedly assigned single problem sets (i.e., a small chunk of on average eight mathematical problems) to their class, students’ performance increased significantly during both periods of school closures compared to the same periods in the previous year (without school closures). In contrast, our analyses also indicated that, if teachers assigned bundles of problem sets (i.e., large chunks) or when students self-selected problem sets, students’ performance did not increase significantly. Moreover, students’ performance was generally higher when single problem sets were assigned, compared to the other two assignment types. We conclude that teachers’ way of using the online learning environment in general, and their strategy of assigning problem sets in particular can have a positive effect on students’ performance in mathematics.

While implementing e-learning courses at the State Border Guard College of the Republic of Latvia, the author of this article has discovered several differences in communication between students compared to traditional learning. Since the e-learning is going to expand in the future it is essential to explore theoretical and practical concepts on teacher student interaction peculiarities in e-environment. The author has gathered suggestions and proposals on best practices of teacher student interaction in order to improve e-learning outcomes. The goal of the article is to explore the peculiarities of the interaction between teachers and students in e-learning environment and provide suggestions on improving the efficiency of teacher-student interaction in e-learning.

Qur’anic recitation competition is one of the new trends in the field of Qur’anic studies in Nigeria and beyond. It is one of the recent features which dominate the curriculum of Muslim education in most parts of Nigeria today. With about three decades of existence, the competition has impacted so much on the development of Qur’anic studies in particular and Islamic education in general. It also brought to the system some changes in the entire curriculum; the syllabus, the methodology of teaching, the outcome and objectives of the discipline as well as the learning environment itself. One of the apparent areas of changes brought is the student orientation and teacher-student orientation in the learning process. The competition also brought about rapid development in the study of other aspects of Qur’anic sciences which were hitherto neglected or unknown to most of the Qur’anic scholars and students. Aspects of Qur’anic sciences, such as tajwīd, the science of qira’āt, exegesis of the Qur’an etc. received robust attention by many of the scholars and students today. Bauchi metropolis in Bauchi Local Government Area of Bauchi State is one of the areas that witness the popularity and influence of Qur’anic recitation competition in its Qur’anic school system. This paper aimed at studying the phenomenon of Qur’anic Recitation Competition and its impact on the promotion / development of the study of various aspects of Qur’anic sciences in the area, from the inception of the competition in 1986 up to 2015. The methodology adopted in the research was analytical and comparative as data that were collected through observation, interviews and survey from selected Qur’anic centres within the metropolitan city of Bauchi was analysed and compared.

This chapter focuses on the benefits of incorporating asynchronous tasks, activities, components in the teaching of IB English A: Literature Yr. 1. Taking into consideration the unique challenges of the new syllabus, the author shows how asynchronous teaching/learning may enable teachers to cover in depth many literary texts, by running concurrently F2F/synchronous and asynchronous classes. Particular emphasis is placed on how low-immediacy and low-bandwidth tools may contribute to teacher-student and student-student collaboration. The author also reflects on how the use of asynchronous components smoothened the transition to an exclusively online learning environment after the closing of the schools due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
