In this chapter, numerous educational activities are presented for instructors in order to address each type of multiple intelligences. Most probably, these educational activities are those which are already being experienced by many instructors. The key point here is that although students are exposed to many educational activities, instructors generally don’t have any idea or rather don’t consider the learning outcomes in terms of multiple intelligences. In general, assessment activities are based only on the chunk of knowledge that the student gains after any particular activity. In fact, instructors should deal with the effects and improvements in students other than just the knowledge, after engagement in educational activities. Thus, instructors should base their instructional plans on a theoretical basis, especially when integrating technology into their courses. Hence, the development and changing activities and other tasks of social software according to the multiple intelligences that underline individual differences were discussed briefly in this chapter.

Evaluation is a process that includes measurement and may also contain decision making about values. Tests are ways that are used or procedures taken in the framework of measurement and assessment in the field of education, which provides assignments and a series of tasks given by the teacher so that values can be symbolized by students' behavior or achievements. The learning outcomes of each student are compared with the level of achievement of competencies in instructional objectives. There are three things that are important in terms of the test, first is the term measurement. Giving tests (testing is part of measurement activities) Both tests are a tool to measure a sample of knowledge or abilities possessed by a person Third, tests are interpretations of numbers obtained to determine whether a person is good enough or not to learn in achieving a goal. learning or teaching needs to be evaluated in order to know the level of exhaustion of the planned goals so that in the teaching process produces students who have high cognitive, affective and psychomotor aspects and also have an impact on the progress of the nation.

Information technology literacy can be seen as an integration of what are commonly two separate literacies—technology literacy and information literacy. This chapter defines them, reviews issues related to both, and argues that both must be acquired and functionally utilized for students and workers to achieve success in our heavily technology-oriented society and workplace. The authors address learning outcomes and design components that should be considered in training and instructional settings, and give examples of instructional strategies for achieving them.

BACKGROUND: Academic courses of human anatomy need to be reviewed periodically by students to ensure better learning outcomes, especially when the teaching process became internet-dependent during the pandemic. AIM: Our study aims to explore pharmacy students’ opinions concerning the theoretical and practical elements of the anatomy course taught in the College of Pharmacy at Al-Rafidain University. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The ethical committee of the College of Pharmacy at Al-Rafidain University approved the study. We prepared a questionnaire (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.735) to evaluate the positive and negative aspects of the teaching process. The questionnaire was presented as an online survey to pharmacy students (n = 305) who finished their anatomy course in two learning modalities, Internet-based learning (n1 = 105, 34.43%) and blended learning (BL) (n2 = 200, 65.57%). RESULTS: Participants of both groups were satisfied with the syllabus, using internet-based materials, and problem-based learning concerning the theoretical aspect of the course. Concerning practical knowledge, both groups preferred using cadavers instead of dummies, and they verified the beneficial effect of online educational materials and computer-based applications. Pharmacy students demanded more than one anatomy course, while students from the BL group considered the anatomy course duration insufficient. Concerning the practical knowledge, students’ marks were superior for students using BL, and the opposite was the case with theoretical knowledge. CONCLUSIONS: BL is favored by Iraqi undergraduate pharmacy students; perhaps, it is attributed to the lively interaction between students and the teaching staff. We conclude that internet resources can be supportive of the classical teaching of anatomy.

The problem-based teaching of literature is a contemporary teaching model that has emerged from the need to overcome the weaknesses of traditional teaching and to increase the efficiency of educational work. Unlike the traditional paradigms that focused on the teacher and the lecturing model of education, the problem-based teaching of literature engages students, places them at the centre of the teaching process, and encourages them to independently define and research the problem. The problem-based teaching of literature is based on the students’ active relationship to literary phenomena, while the teacher functions as the initiator and motivator of the students’ versatile creations that are reached by solving problem-based tasks. This paper explores the problem-based teaching of literature and presents the results and discussion of the conducted research on the attitudes of Croatian language teachers on the problem-based teaching of literature. Fifty Croatian language teachers participated in the research by filling a survey in an attempt to determine how often the respondents use the problem-based teaching of literature as well as which forms, methods and methods of teaching they use. More specifically, the aim was to determine how teachers see their own role and students’ activity in problem-based teaching of literature. In addition, the research sought to find out whether teachers believe that learning outcomes are more successfully achieved in the problem-based teaching of literature and what the reasons for the (un)acceptability of the problem-based teaching of literature are.

<p>In planning study course several relevant conditions were considered. Firstly scientific concepts on what study course is based were realized. Secondly- aim of the study course was defined, and thirdly – study course priorities were evaluated. Study course design involves learning outcomes, assessment as evidence for learning, and methods used in teaching process. Most common miscomprehension in study course design is associated with goals and learning outcomes. Study course goals are not measurable, but learning outcomes are and must be measurable. Goals determine learning outcomes and learning outcomes should be planned. Planning of learning outcomes provide the students with details about what exactly is expected of them at the end of the study course; it helps to work out assessment criteria. Priorities of the course determine assessment methods. Knowledge and skills are evaluated by the traditional assessment methods, but enduring understanding by complex, authentic tasks.</p>
