Abstract Wargames are important methods for military planning, education and research. Qualitative models have a long tradition in wargaming for improving and practising the military skills as well as enhancing the military planning based on the experiences and understanding of the experts. Quantitative models are included in simulations and technical studies. Traditionally, the relations between the qualitative and quantitative research have been described as opposites. We shall consider both the approaches, their challenges and possibilities, and their combination for producing more exhaustive wargame and for answering to the criticism of wargame as a mainly qualitative method. Our main research question is: How to combine quantitative and qualitative approaches and methods to improve quality of results of military wargames? Our main objective is to clarify and illustrate how qualitative and quantitative methods can be combined through the wargame. We shall emphasize the importance of the model selection at the beginning as it limits and guides the form (not the content) of the obtained results. We shall illustrate a combined wargame within different steps and the modelling themes of the game. Our results and findings should be useful for improving and focusing wargames to answer given research questions.

Hiring Managers

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine hiring managers’ perceptions of massive open online courses (MOOCs) as compared to traditional degree-conferred forms of higher education in relation to hiring and employment decisions. Design/methodology/approach A literature review is presented along with a triangulated theoretical framework. Using online survey data, quantitative methods reveal findings related to the main research question: what are hiring managers’ attitudes toward MOOCs as a form of post-secondary education? Findings Analysis of the data reveals that hiring managers have a clear preference for traditionally educated job applicants but employer demographics, apart from organizational procedures, do not significantly impact their overall perceptions of MOOCs’ value. Research limitations/implications Most of the research is based on anecdotal research. Very little has been written on how to fix this problem. Practical implications This paper illustrates implications of MOOCs’ future development and implementation both in higher education and in the labor-force. The main implication is that MOOCs represent neither a panacea to the issues facing higher education and the American labor-force nor an alarming threat to stakeholders appreciative of the status quo. Originality/value This paper fills a current research gap as evidenced in the literature; employers’ perceptions of MOOC-educated job applicants when compared to traditionally educated/degree-conferred job applicants. By determining the value of MOOCs as employers pragmatically view them, stakeholder groups can better determine their future positioning of MOOC-related resources in addition to time and money allocated in MOOCs’ direction.

The paper aimed to investigate the effect of using online course material on EFL students’ writing ability has conducted. The focus of the study is mainly to discover the writing attitudes and learning problems among students. The study employs a methodological triangulation whereby both qualitative and quantitative methods will be used. The study incorporated three stages. First, the foundation survey and the pretest were regulated to all the samples. Next, in the four-week treatment stage, understudies were obliged to do the two errands in class. The main research tools used in the study are the Students’ Survey Questionnaires and the interview questions. 20 English school majors in a rookie composing class took an interest in the study. The significant discoveries show that understudies made noteworthy change in equivalent word use in the controlled tests and still kept up that learning two months after they finished the web learning units. It was concluded from the correlation of the pretest and posttest papers that the students increased their general composition quality and execution in the utilization of synonymous descriptive words. The students had the capacity impel a few examples for the target expressions of 25 equivalent words with different degrees of achievement. By and large, the exactness rate of incitement was more than 50%.

Iranian Children

Studies have shown that promoting and cultivating the cognitive development in children aged 7 to 11 is of significance due to their puberty age.Any evaluation in Iran's schooling system is usually bounded by content materials and is less addressed by the significance of the Physical Space of the Educational Environment.In educational settings, the quality of architectural space by affecting the sensory, intellectual and perceptual cognitions can play an essential role in the educational performance. School setting like other educational space can change the formation of behaviors and even the attitude, cognitive development and children's creativity. The child from the actual environment that is marvelously complex would unlimitedly enter into a relationship that is continually developmental and are connected to other relations. These relationships get more complicated due to physical and moral development. The overall changes regularly affect the personality and development of the children, and the educator has to guide and lead them. Nevertheless, it is unfortunately ignored to be in focus. Schools must be provided with appropriate conditions wherein children find the opportunity to develop both physically and mentally.Based on the studies conducted in Iranian schools, the useful elements on children development particularly the cognitive one in the educational setting is not grave. The primary research question in this study is what principles feature in designing female schools to promote the cognitive development and what physical elements can elevate the constitutes of cognitive development.The attempt in this study is to find out the practical elements in forming the physics of schools to promote the cognitive development. Both qualitative and quantitative methods are used. The research design is descriptive. Results were found in a survey-based format. The questionnaire is used as the research instrument. The samples were selected from teachers of female primary schools via interview and questionnaire. The validity and reliability of each were checked hence. Based on the results of the needs and probable obstacles, the case study was conducted with data analysis for further understanding of the subject.

One of the main potentials of marine resources in Indonesia is salt. Salt production locations are located in various regions of Indonesia. Aceh Province is one of the leading salt-producing areas on the island of Sumatra. Salt production in Aceh faces various challenges, such as the production system and salt production locations' suitability. Therefore, to develop salt production in Aceh, analysis of the production system and suitability of salt production sites are fundamental. This study aims to analyze the production system and the suitability of salt production locations in North Aceh Regency and East Aceh Regency as salt production centers in Aceh Province. This research uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods (mixed method) with a descriptive approach. Production system analysis is carried out through direct observation and in-depth interviews with the stakeholders (government and salt farmers). Analysis of the salt location's suitability level was carried out using the Salt Suitability Index (SSI) method. This study shows that the production system in North Aceh and East Aceh districts uses three production methods consisting of boiling seawater, solar evaporation, and a combination of boiling and solar evaporation. The main obstacle to salt production in Aceh is the weather, such as high rainfall and fluctuations throughout the year. Analysis of the suitability of the location of salt production shows the value of the SSI at the salt ponds site in the North Aceh and the East Aceh Regencies is 80% which indicates that the locations are sufficiently appropriate as a salt production site. The results of this study show that the application of the Continuously Dynamic Mixing (CDM) method in Greenhouse Salt Tunnel (GST) technology may be used to improve the quality and quantity of salt production in Aceh.
