Students Attitudes

This study investigated the students attitudes toward the use of World Wide Web Course Tools (WebCT) and its influence on learning taking a course Introduction to Computers in Business offered at the College of Commerce and Economics in Sultan Qaboos University in Oman. Sultan Qaboos University is a co-educational institution where in most computer classes the male and female students are equally distributed. Omani society is a segregated society where male and female students have some how different life style and have different attitudes towards learning Information Technology. This research is exploring the difference if any of their attitudes toward WebCT, where WebCT was introduced in their “Introduction to Computers in Business” course as a supplementary learning tool. The finding showed that though male students have little more exposure of WebCT at the beginning of the course than the females, but towards the end of the course the male and female students have appreciated almost equally the importance and the use of WebCT as it is easily accessible from any Internet enabled location and at any time in addition it helps them in better understanding and learning the course material.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the interaction among Physical Activity Levels (PAL), academic successes, perceived academic competency and Motor Skills (MS) of male and female students at the age of 14-17 in terms of gender variable. The PALs, perceived academic competency and academic successes were determined through International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), Academic Competency Scale and General Academic Averages respectively. MS were tested by sit-and-reach flexibility, vertical jump, hand grip strenght and back and leg strength tests. After the data were entered into the SPSS 16,0 program, paired t-test was done in order to determine the difference between genders. Also, the interaction among PAL, academic success, academic competency and MS of male and female students were analysed through Pearson correlation analysis. As a result, it was found out that parameters related to the PAL and strength of male students are higher than those of female ones while female students’ academic success levels are better than those of male students. In addition, while no significant relation between academic success and PAL was found, a positive relation was determined the academic success and perceived academic competency of both genders.

<p class="ABS-C">This study aimed to analyse the difference in the mathematical thinking abilities of Informatics Engineering students based on gender in Calculus problem-solving. Mathematical thinking ability was measured based on four indicators of the mathematical thinking process, namely specialisation, generalising, conjecturing, and convincing. The instruments in this study were mathematical thinking tests and observation sheets. The test used in this study was composed of four questions by indicators of the mathematical thinking process.  The technique of data collection was the test, observation, and interview. Subjects of this study consisted of 35 male students and 22 female students. Data were analysed using the t-test. The results of the analysis showed that there is a significant difference in the mathematical thinking ability of male and female students. Mathematical thinking abilities of female students reached indicators of specialisation, generalising, and conjecturing. On the other hand,  mathematical thinking abilities of male students passed the elements of speciality and generalising.</p>

Abstract Attitudes have a vital role in the life of each individual and a society as they determine what each individual will see, hear, think and do. The role of attitudes is a topic of much attention of specialists and educators especially in the field of teaching English as a foreign language as it is considered  as  one  of  the  most  important  factors  that  impact  on  learning  the  language. On the basis of the above statement, the present study aims at identifying the students’  attitudes towards learning English as a foreign language and finding out the differences between male and female students’ attitudes towards learning English as a foreign language. After the selection of the sample of 40 male and female students of level 5 at Teachers Training Institutes, a questionnaire is developed and students' responses are tabulated and analyzed. The results of the study show that most students have very positive attitudes towards learning English. It is also found that female students generally have higher rates than male students indicating more positive attitudes towards learning English. Within the findings of the study, some recommendation and suggestions for further studies have emerged.

This study aims to identify students' attitude through statistical learning through comparison between gender and field of study taken by students in polytechnics. This study used purposive sampling which consists of 152 polytechnic students from the field of commerce i.e. marketing diploma, accounting, retail management and business. This study used Survey of Attitude towards Statistics (SATS) instrument which contained 36 positive and negative items which consisted of six dimensions of attitude towards statistics. The findings showed a slight difference in student attitude mean score based on gender for female students (mean = 98.40) and male students (mean = 98.05) on statistical subjects. Based on the decision of the random sample t-test being run, the mean difference between male and female students is insignificant, t(150) = -0.263, ρ =0 .793). Comparative attitudes to statistics based on the field of study in polytechnics found that Diploma of Business Studies students showed the highest mean score (100.49), while students from the Diploma of Management of Retailing showed the lowest mean score (96.61). However, based on the decision rather than the one way variance analysis test being run, the difference shown in this mean score is insignificant, F(3, 148) = 2,546, ρ = 0.058. The comparison finds that there is no difference in interest in the statistics between the students' gender and the comparison for different fields of study. Therefore, lecturers can implement effective teaching and learning strategies and there is no need to conduct separate teaching and learning sessions by gender and there is no need to conduct separate teaching and learning sessions according to the field of study in polytechnics.

This research is aimed to investigate whether or not female EFL students' ability in speaking skill is better than male students. It deals with the hypothesis that mentions female students are better than male students in speaking skill. The method applied is the descriptive quantitative approach in which ten male and ten female students of the first grade of one of the high schools in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, become randomly the samples. The speaking test is done in order to collect the data and it is conducted to identify the male and female ability in English speaking skill, especially in the five aspects of speaking skill: pronunciation, grammar, fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary. The results show that the females actually dominate the higher scores in all aspects of speaking, however, the mean scores of male and female students are relatively similar, female students reach 68.5 while male students reach 63.3. The t-test is lower than t-table (-1.671.72), which means that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) of this study is rejected and the null hypothesis (Ho) is accepted. Therefore, it can be inferred that the first-grade female students of the high school under study have better performance in speaking skill than the male students, despite the difference is trivial.
