The current study aimed at rationing Torrance Tests of Creativity Thinking (Form B) – TTCT- on the secondary stage and university level female students (180 students). It also aimed at studying the differences among the different secondary stages and university level where the validity and reliability significances and scoring procedures could be obtained; especially that the findings revealed that the previous criteria (scales) do not reflect the creativity power any more. Moreover، the responses which used to be considered as “rare” are not so any more, too. Therefore, one of the objectives of this study is to prepare a detailed booklet which explains the test scoring process and show the original and creative responses suitable for our current time. The findings also assured that the test is valid and reliable especially that the significance level was 0.01 in the total mark and sub-dimensions/sections. This indicates the internal consistency of the measurement tool used.

Writing is considered a very important learning tool for all content areas. There is no doubt that writing skill is essential for any kind of learning either at the school or the university level. Therefore, the present study attempted to explore the possibility of improving university students’ one of writing sub-skills, known as coherence through emoji. Coherence in the students’ writing was measured according to the students ability to a) use repetition to link ideas, sentences, and paragraphs, b)use transitional expressions to link ideas, sentences, and paragraphs, c) use pronouns to link sentences, d)use synonyms to link ideas and create variety, e) use parallel structures to link ideas, sentences, and paragraphs. The sample of this study was randomly selected from the Third Level female students joining the Department of English at one Saudi public university. The selected subjects were assigned randomly into control group and experimental group. After administrating the pretest for the two groups, the experimental group was given a six-week treatment of emoji meant for improving the writing sub-skill, while the control group was taught writing without using emoji. One week after the treatment, a posttest was administered to the two groups. Results revealed significant difference between the students’ scores in writing in favor of using emoji to improve students’ writing skills. Thus, the findings show the effectiveness of using emoji in improving students’ coherence in writing. The results were used to draw some conclusions and to suggest some recommendations for teaching writing using emoji. The results also recommend further researches to be done on using emoji to improve other language skills and sub-skills.

En las últimas décadas, las bajas tasas de mujeres que cursan estudios universitarios, así como el hecho de que esas tasas se han ido incrementando, han sido analizadas por investigadores en España así como en Europa y otros países. En nuestro análisis, hemos observado que las tasas femeninas de estudiantes están creciendo año tras año pero con significativas diferencias entre disciplinas académicas. Por esta razón, nuestro propósito ha sido recoger datos de las universidades españolas, de cara a observar tendencias y sus orígenes. Nuestro estudio incluye porcentajes de mujeres enroladas en las diversas áreas académicas de estudios en las universidades españolas, comparadas con los porcentajes en el conjunto de la Academia. También incluye algunos datos sobre los porcentajes de mujeres entre los estudiantes de doctorado, así como entre el personal docente de los<br />departamentos en las facultades, y los comparamos según el estatus académico. Finalmente, presentamos algunas conclusiones sobre las barreras en la carrera académica para las profesoras en las universidades españolas entre 1978 y 2008. Estos datos revelan los crecientes porcentajes de mujeres que durante los pasados años han<br />seguido estudios superiores. También muestran algunas diferencias entre áreas académicas, y asimismo que existe una significativa tendencia de género en el acceso de<br />las estudiantes graduadas a las categorías superiores del personal docente.<br /><br />In the last decades, the low rates of women that follow studies at the university level, as well as the fact that those rates are increasing, have been analyzed by researchers in<br />Spain, as well as in Europe and in some other countries.

For this reason, our purpose was to compile data from Spanish universities, in order to see the tendencies and their origins. Our study includes<br />percentages of women enrolled in the diverse academic areas of studies at the Spanish universities, compared to the percentages in the whole Academia. It also includes some data on the percentages of women among PhD students, as well as among the teaching staff of the departments in the faculties, and we compare them by academic status. Finally, we present some conclusions on the barriers in the academic career for female professors in the Spanish universities between 1978-2008. These data reveal the increasing percentages of women that for the past last years have followed higher studies. They also show some differences among academic areas, and also that there is a significant gender bias in the access of graduated female students to the upper categories of teaching staff.<br /><br />

The importance of “study skills” has been increasingly emphasized by several researchers particularly at the university level where the student is independent and bears the responsibility of his/her own learning. Relevant research findings have indicated that positive changes in academic achievement are attributable to the various study skills possessed by the learners as relevant to the learning process. This study aims to investigate differences in “study skills” among a sample of SQU students in light of some variables. The measurement tool for the present research is a study skills measure that has been prepared and validated through factorial validity, and its reliability established through the Alpha Chronbach’s equation. Results show that there are no significant differences attributable to gender or the specialty area in the dimensions of the study skills investigated (study competencies, concentration during study, academic persistence, and readiness for exams). Further, the results also show no significant differences between the students of low and high GPA in the dimension of academic persistence. However, the results reveal significant differences between the students of low and high GPA in the dimensions of study competencies, concentration during study, and readiness for exams. These significant differences were in favor of the students of high GPA.
