We are facing the fact that some of the teaching that is performed at the university level does not result in the effective learning. The basic reason for this is that our faculties are often places for delivering the lectures and exercises, instead of being, as it should, a learning place. This statement has several important implications, which is being discussed in the paper from the viewpoint of the Active Learning Project.

Do asynchronous online evaluations, designed and delivered to engage the testing effect, moderate test anxiety? To answer this question, we surveyed 353 undergraduate and graduate students, drawn from 12 courses, hybrid and online, asking whether the option to take and retake a quiz lessened their text anxiety. Students, no matter the course or level, indicate yes, with more than 90% of the sample agreeing that the option to retake a quiz reduced test anxiety. We also consider this result with regards to the issues of metacognitive accuracy, student engagement, and learning effectiveness. Nearly 95% saw the “anytime, anyplace” test-retest option increasing understanding, improving class engagement, and supporting a more effective learning experience. Our findings profile a promising path to reset traditional as well as refine online evaluation pedagogies.

As part of a recent workshop entitled "Imagining Tomorrow's University”, we were asked to visualize the future of universities as research becomes increasingly data- and computation-driven, and identify a set of principles characterizing pertinent opportunities and obstacles presented by this shift. In order to establish a holistic view, we take a multilevel approach and examine the impact of open science on individual scholars as well as on the university as a whole. At the university level, open science presents a double-edged sword: when well executed, open science can accelerate the rate of scientific inquiry across the institution and beyond; however, haphazard or half-hearted efforts are likely to squander valuable resources, diminish university productivity and prestige, and potentially do more harm than good. We present our perspective on the role of open science at the university.

English Language Skills

This systematic review study sought to examine the teaching of English language skills in Saudi Arabia by systematically analyzing the previous studies on language skills which were published within the past ten years and identify the research areas to be bridged in the future. The study employed the systematic review approach. The search strategy yielded 221 studies for inclusion in the systematic keyword map, and 95 studies for in-depth review. The findings of this systematic review revealed that students sampling presented (80.09%) in those studies, and female students participated in only (24.43%) of those studies. In addition, (73.30%) of the conducted studies were at the university level indicating a limit interest of the school-level research. In addition, (68.52%) of those studies focused on writings kills , reading skills and achievement indicating the necessity to give more attention to speaking, listening, pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar research at all education sectors in the future. The in-depth review also indicated an obvious focus on reading and writing skills and most the studies were undertaken at the university level. The findings were discussed and a number of language skills research gaps were pointed out.

At last, here is a complete volume that aims to promote a series of positive and educationally sound approaches to academic integrity that are, to my mind, long overdue. The book is, as the editors point out, the product of the Future Professoriate Program (FPP) of the Syracuse University Graduate School. Its aim is to inspire readers to “feel affirmed as educators”: It is good to remember that in many ways, promoting academic integrity is not something new we have to conform to; it is something that happens naturally whenever we are active learners and thoughtful educators. (p. 2) In questioning some of the familiar assumptions about academic integrity which pose barriers to active learning and thoughtful pedagogy, this volume represents a welcome leap forward to wrench the primary focus away from policing and punishment and directing it towards sound teaching practice.

The University is one of the most important pillars of a State. Therefore, the university should be able to produce high-quality human resources and can contribute greatly to the progress of a country in various sectors. High-quality human resources will be able to change the culture of a region, a city and even a country toward a better future, not only in certain sectors but almost all sectors. The main problem in the university, the lecturer is not placed in the right position and still lack of experience possessed by the lecturer, in terms of experience with the subjects taught. This will be answered by using the concept held by Disneyland and this concept developed into a formula L = D3.B. The formula, we created will help in the development of human resources at the university level, with the focus being lecturers and students. furthermore, this formula will greatly assist the university to be able to accept lecturers who have the competence and guide the students to achieve the maximum in themselves, all these things will be able to improve the living standard of the people's economy, with high-quality human resources, it will be able to there is a significant change in the life process, in the future.

This volume considers what a more inclusive, dynamic, and socially engaged curriculum of musical study might look like in universities. Its goal is to create dialogue among faculty, administrators, and students about what the future of college music instruction should be and how to transition to new paradigms. Critiques and calls for reform have existed for decades, but few publications have offered concrete suggestions as to how things might be done differently. This book suggests new concepts or guiding principles that might be used to reconceive applied music education at the university level and, based on existing experiments taking place nationally and internationally, how such principles might be implemented in practical terms. The book’s essays concentrate primarily on changes to performance degrees rather than other subdisciplines since the former constitute the center of activity in most institutions. Ethnomusicologists feature prominently among the contributors, but the volume also includes input from those with specialization in music education, theory/composition, professional performance, and administration.

The orientation of the education system towards technologies based on training through research presents an objective not only educational, but also socio-economic, because the challenges of the future society are largely related to the elaboration of new materials, more efficient ones than the existing analogies. The educational system has the task of developing competencies from the first steps to the university level: research, education, and entrepreneurship. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to develop evolutionary strategies from traditional  to innovative education, with the application of developed products in different fields, in order to generate performant and ergonomic technologies. It is important for the scientific study to have relevant goals by applying the obtained results in order to solve real problems in everyday life, agriculture, material science, etc. As a model, it is proposed to study the synthesis process of coordinating compounds, analysis of composition, structure and determination of the practical application domains based on the manifested biological and physical properties. For the university level, as an exercise in the research competence, it is proposed to obtain and analyze some coordinating compounds based on transition metals. In order to achieve multi-level interdisciplinary studies, the starting point is the interaction of simple salts and organic ligands that lead to highly complex chemical compounds, composition study, molecular structure, and practical implementation based on useful properties. An important role in the manifestation of the properties of metallo-complexes is also played by the ligands in their composition which, due to the large set of donor atoms, create stable complexes different in composition, structure and properties with transition metal ions. Biologically active substances included in the complexes of metals as ligands substantially increase their effectiveness. After developing the research competence which results in the students synthesizing to assemble new coordinating compounds, it is necessary to move from the oriented, guided synthesis stage to that of creating new molecular models based on their own ideas. At this level it becomes obvious the manifestation of creativity and the spirit of initiative which can end with the development of innovation competence – the supreme product of the educational process, which offers the future specialists the freedom of creation, the independence and the confidence in their own orientation skills in the issues regarding the professional field.
