This study aims to determine the effectiveness of documentary film media on the Dutch East Indies colonial history in Indonesia on student learning outcomes. History learning is a crucial subject in shaping students’ character and nationalism. Dutch East Indies colonialism is one of the topics in high schools in Indonesia. This study used a quasi-experimental research model involving 35 students in the experimental group and 36 students in the control group, with a nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group configuration in class XI SMA. The data analysis showed that the experimental class score averaged 88.14 and the control class averaged 79. These findings indicate a substantial difference between the experimental learning outcomes and the control group learning outcomes. Historical documentary film media has been proven to improve student learning outcomes, especially the experimental group. Therefore, historical documentaries are effectively used to increase students’ knowledge of history subjects.

During 2020, the world faced the unusual situation of COVID-19 infections outbreak and at the same time people and governments faced the changes in lifestyle that was forced by the measures taken to manage the crises. Measures as social and physical distancing, in addition to self-quarantine, have been imposed by governments worldwide. Education sector was affected by the measures. Students were out of school worldwide. Education moved to the online and remote learning, posing new challenges for students and teachers. The new lifestyle caused stress for many people al around the world, students included. This research aims to investigate students’ behavior during 2020 on the level of stress, desire to study, laziness and concentration and gender differences. Through a cross-sectional online survey among 254 students of higher education institutions in Albania, was found out that stress levels of students in higher education institutions were higher among female students compared to male students. The research shows that stress has negative correlation to the desire to study and concentration and positive correlation to laziness, while the desire to study has negative correlation to laziness and positive correlation to concentration. Through linear regression analysis, this study provides insights on the factors that have influenced students’ feelings during pandemic and what can be done for improvement.

The purpose of this study was to explore what nine high school principals did to outperform other schools in the South and Central regions of Somalia. The study highlighted the high school principals’ perception of maintaining education quality concerning curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The study focused on the admission process, teaching, and learning performances of the top nine high schools in South and central Somalia. The methodology of this Qualitative study was descriptive phenomenology. The research design and approach were semi-structured open-ended interview protocol that comprised eight interview questions. Purposeful sampling was the sampling method. Nine principals participated in the study and provided the research data regarding the education quality of nine high schools in Somalia. All nine principals in this study maintained their high schools' education quality using a rigorous admission process. They utilized a government-developed official curriculum. Five principals reported that they employed specialist instructors, while six stated that their students actively participated in the learning process during class time. However, all the participants reported that smartphones hindered student learning. A slight majority of five principals (56%) stated that parental interventions were vital to schools' overall learning achievements. Somalia's public schools are far behind in utilizing effective educational technology. The technological literacy of the teachers is vital to effectively employ the accessible educational technology, which encouraged students to incorporate modern technologies in their learning activities successfully. Rigorous admission process, efficient curriculum, instruction, effective instructional materials, employing professional instructors, and active learning are all important components to maintain education quality.

This literature review article aims to look at the variables that influence, are influenced, and mediated by the leadership practices of principals in schools. The authors reviewed 16 research articles from European countries and a small part of Asia and America. The researchers concluded that: 1) Self-efficacy can affect variables such as emotional exhaustion, job satisfaction, normative commitment, and including motivation not to resign. 2) Self-efficacy can fluctuate, influenced by experience, which at that time can also be influenced by the opinions of others. Therefore, a leader is responsible for the development and growth of job satisfaction and teacher self-efficacy. 3) Self-efficacy can be a mediator for the growth and development of other variables. The psychological atmosphere you feel at that moment also adds another variable. The self-efficacy variable can also determine the improvement and achievement of other variables. This study provides new insights into how to manage people for maximum results.

University undergraduate pro- grams in computing disciplines are updated regularly to adapt to advancements in the field and emerging, fast-growing industry demand. This paper reports the current status of a selected set of undergraduate programs in com- puting fields in Saudi Arabia and compares them to other programs from international universi- ties in light of the 2020 Computing Curricula Report (CCR). This comparative study aims to enlighten future efforts for designing cur- ricula and updating undergraduate computing programs in Saudi Arabia. A sample of 26 Saudi universities (15 public and 11 private) and 15 international universities offering 161 programs is selected. The comparison criteria include program discipline, duration, number of units, accreditation, required training, and others. We find significant differences between programs offered by Saudi public and private universities compared to international university programs. For example, programs offered by Saudi universities, especially the public, require more units compared to international programs (median of 143 units vs. 120 units). Our findings would guide future undergraduate computing program developments in Saudi Arabia.

The article discusses STEM technologies and tools used in engineering education for scientific and technical calculations in Python, which allow to make classes visual and fun for students. An integrated environment that supports all the stages of solving computational scientific problems from their formulation, solution to their sharing is considered. Dash, Panel, Voilà and Streamlit technologies for publishing computational web applications for multivariate calculations are discussed, a comparison of these technologies for use in the educational process is made. Web applications allow computational experiments, but prevent changes to the source code, eliminating the appearance of errors. The integrated environment includes a generator of static sites for publishing smart tutorials with embedded web applications. This allows publishing student-developed applications along with learning materials with a minimum of effort. The integrated environment is convenient for both face-to-face and distant learning.

Ensuring the security of the software has raised concerns from the research community which triggered numerous approaches that tend to eliminate it. The process of ensuring the security of software includes the introduction of processes in the Software Development Life Cycle where one of them is testing after the software is developed. Manually testing software for security is a labor-intensive task. Therefore, it is required to automate the process of testing by generating test cases by automated techniques. In this paper, we review various software security test case generation approaches and techniques. We try to explore and classify the most eminent techniques for test case generation. The techniques are summarized and presented briefly to covers all researches work that has been done in the targeted classification. Moreover, this paper aims to depict the sound of security in the current state of the art of test case generation. The findings are summarized and discussed where the opportunities and challenges are revealed narratively. Although the paper intends to provide a comprehensive view of the research in test case generation, there was a noticeable lack in the test case generation from the security perspectives

The number of network users and devices has exponentially increased in the last few decades, giving rise to sophisticated security threats while processing users’ and devices’ network data. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) introduces many new features, but none is more revolutionary than separating the control plane from the data plane. The separation helps DDoS attack detection mechanisms by introducing novel features and functionalities. Since the controller is the most critical part of the SDN network, its ability to control and monitor network traffic flow behavior ensures the network functions properly and smoothly. However, the controller’s importance to the SDN network makes it an attractive target for attackers. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is one of the major threats to network security. This paper presents a comprehensive review of information theory-based approaches to detect low-rate and high-rate DDoS attacks on SDN controllers. Additionally, this paper provides a qualitative comparison between this work and the existing reviews on DDoS attack detection approaches using various metrics to highlight this work’s uniqueness. Moreover, this paper provides in-depth discussion and insight into the existing DDoS attack detection approaches to point out their weaknesses that open the avenue for future research directions. Meanwhile, the finding of this paper can be used by other researchers to propose a new or enhanced approach to protect SDN controllers from the threats of DDoS attacks by accurately detecting both low-rate and high-rate DDoS attacks.
