Cyberbullying has become a frequent relational problem among young people, which has made it necessary to evaluate and prevent it in the university setting. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between cyberbullying, motivation and learning strategies, the ability to adapt to university, and academic performance. A sample of 1368 Spanish university students (64% female) was administered a battery consisting of the European Bullying Intervention Project Questionnaire, the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory Short version, and the Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire, with their academic performance also being studied. The results found that the victimized bullies have greater difficulties in their organization and planning for study and exams, have fewer control and consolidation strategies, and are less able to adapt to university. Logistic regression analyses show that the greater the difficulties in organization and planning, and the greater the difficulties experienced in exams, the greater the probability of a person being a victim and a victimized bully. In addition, students are less likely to be victims, bullies, and victimized bullies as their ability to adapt to university increases. The findings have been discussed and it has been noted that there is a need to address academic adjustment and the ability to adapt to the university environment as a preventive measure for cyberbullying in university students.

This manuscript builds on research about how university students felt affected by the Covid19 pandemic and, especially, by the irruption of non-face-to-face classes and mixed teaching methods in this context. How have young people experienced this situation? How has it affected their wellbeing and the learning strategies should develop have had to incorporate into their virtual relationships? their virtual relationships? How have they related and relate to virtual tools for a task that they have always experienced face-to-face? To answer these questions, the TRAY-AP project that investigates how university students learn collected 89 scenes that show the effects of the Covid 19 on their lives and the university. We grouped these scenes into seven key concepts to detect how students were emotionally affected, especially by moving from face-to-face to virtual learning. From this analysis, although primarily negative, the emotional effects have also allowed them to generate positive strategies for readaptation and collaboration with other colleagues. All of which opens the way to rethink the predominant pedagogical and knowledge relations in the university.

This chapter examines student performance in Human Physiology and Biology in response to a number of interactive language-focused and career-oriented interventions that were integrated into both lecture and tutorial formats. The study took place at the University of Newcastle, Australia and involved around 1000 students on two campuses. Although it was not possible to demonstrate a clear overall improvement in student performance as a result of these interventions, the activities were viewed positively by the majority of students. Arguably, the major impact of the language and other interventions was in the level of student motivation and engagement with the course topic. Contemporary university students are highly focused on the relevance of a course to their chosen career path, suggesting that language-based teaching and learning strategies would be most effective if placed within a vocation-specific context.

Classroom Action Research

SMA Negeri 3 Kotabumi as an educational institution has the problem of still low student learning outcomes in Economics. Student learning outcomes in economic subjects, especially students of class X IPS 2 are still low. Determination of learning strategies in order to improve the quality of the process and learning outcomes can be investigated by classroom action research, because this study aims to overcome problems or solve problems in the classroom by taking action. One of the cooperative learning techniques is the Jigsaw technique. By implementing Cooperative Learning procedures correctly, it will be able to activate students so that they can improve student learning outcomes Classroom Action Research (CAR) is designed as a study material in the application of learning "Jigsaw" models to improve the ability to solve statistical problems in Economics. This class action research was conducted on students of class X IPS 2 of SMA Negeri 3 Kotabumi in the odd semester of 2018/2019, with 32 students consisting of 15 boys and 17 girls. This research has the benefit of increasing the ability of students to understand economics in this case students are trained to dare to express opinions or differ opinions on issues of presenting data. Learning with the jigsaw model can be presented to improve the ability to understand statistics in Economics. The study design was carried out in two cycles, starting with planning, implementing actions, observing, reflecting, and continuing with the next planning cycle. This research took place in September 2018 until November 2018. Based on the results of the study it was concluded that the Jigsaw model was able to improve the learning outcomes of Economics in class X IPS 2 students of SMA Negeri 3 Kotabumi in the academic year 2018/2019.

Abstract This study was designed to explore learning experiences of university students with dyslexia and factors that could contribute to their success in the university career. Indeed, whereas great efforts have been made to diagnose dyslexia and to mitigate its effects at primary and secondary school, little has been done at the university level in particular in the italian context. In this paper we used bivariate association tests and cluster analysis, in order to identify the most suitable compensatory tools and support strategies that can facilitate the students’ performance. Data were obtained by voluntary participation of university students with dyslexia to an ad-hoc implemented questionnaire Results of our study reveal the importance of an earlier diagnosis and treatment for dyslexia with specific programs, in particular the support from association of dyslexic students has been shown as the most important one. Moreover, from the cluster analysis we identified six groups of students by defining specific support tools and learning strategies for each group. The findings have to be considered as the starting point for the implementation of artificial intelligence-based platform. In fact, the creation of dyslexia profiles can allow us to identify student-specific tools for supporting the academic career of dyslexic students.

<p><em>The present study investigated the use of individual learning strategies among Jordanian EFL university students. The study employed a quantitative method for collecting data involving mainly a questionnaire administration. Subjects of the study were 135 Jordanian students who study English and translation at Yarmouk University. The subjects of the study completed a questionnaire through which data were collected on their use of individual learning strategies. The obtained data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The results revealed that most of the subjects were moderate users of the individual learning strategies. However, neither gender, nor major had a significant effect on the subjects’ use of those strategies. The study also showed that the subjects’ academic year level at the university had a significant effect in terms of their use of the strategies in favor of the seniors.</em></p>

Mục đích của nghiên cứu hành động này là để cải thiện khả năng phát âm của sinh viên, đặc biệt là về các nguyên âm tiếng Anh, thông qua một chương trình luyện âm. 20 sinh viên không chuyên tiếng Anh của Trường Đại học Khoa học Tự nhiên, Đại học Quốc gia Hà Nội tham gia chương trình này. Trong 10 tuần, học viên được giải thích về cách tạo nguyên âm tiếng Anh cũng như sự giống và khác nhau giữa hệ thống nguyên âm tiếng Anh và tiếng Việt trước khi thực hành các âm này thông qua mô hình bồi dưỡng của Dickerson. Dữ liệu được thu thập từ bảng câu hỏi và kiểm tra trước và sau thực nghiệm. Việc phân tích dữ liệu thu thập được đã chứng minh rằng sau chương trình đào tạo, học viên đã đạt được sự cải thiện nhất định về khả năng phát âm của mình. Số lỗi phát âm nguyên âm giảm; tuy nhiên, một số âm vẫn có vấn đề với người học. Bằng cách nghiên cứu những lỗi sai về phát âm của sinh viên, nhóm nghiên cứu nhận thấy rằng có sự tồn tại mối quan hệ giữa tiếng Việt và tiếng Anh, và tiếng Việt có ảnh hưởng tiêu cực đến việc tiếp thu phát âm tiếng Anh của sinh viên trong nghiên cứu này. Bên cạnh đó, việc sử dụng các chiến lược học phát âm khác nhau đã được chứng minh là hữu ích cho việc học phát âm của học sinh, đặc biệt là nhóm chiến lược xã hội.
