This study aimed at exploring the effect of using the CoRT Program on Jordanian EFL ninth-grade students’ speaking skills. The participants of study were 68 female students from Maysaloun Basic School for Girls, which is part of the Directorate of Education in Jordan who were distributed randomly and equally into two groups; experimental and control. This study followed a quasi-experimental design. Data were collected through a pre-/post-test for both control and experimental groups. To achieve the purpose of the study, the experimental group was taught though the CoRT Program and the control group was taught using a conventional teaching method. The results showed that showed that there were statistically significant differences at (a= 0.05) in the subscales (Accuracy, Fluency) due to instruction (the CoRT program vs. conventional instruction) in favor of the experiments group. In light of the findings of the study, the study recommends to use the CoRT Program in different EFL skills and different levels of students.

Special education teachers care for their pupils’ physical, emotional, and social needs, serve as the primary communication channel between the school and the parents, and coordinate other care workers such as paraprofessionals and psychologists. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Israeli special education system moved to distance instruction, and slowly resumed operations following the first lockdown, even while the general education system remained shuttered. The life-threatening situation of the pandemic, where special education workers faced the crisis situation both personally and at the same time, professionally, in helping their students, families, and colleagues, created a situation of “shared trauma” for the teachers. Semi-structured interviews with 17 Israeli special education teachers were conducted to explore how they experienced the phenomenon of the pandemic. The teachers felt frustrated with the system, fearful for their health, lonely, and helpless in their ability to accomplish their job. Their work was negatively affected by masking and distance restrictions upon returning to the classroom. Many teachers benefitted from the support of colleagues and principals. We explore the implications for those who work with special education pupils and highlight the potential for increased cooperation and collaboration between care workers for their own benefit and the welfare of children.

In order to explore how universities provide psychological counseling work for college students, we investigated the relationships between and mechanisms behind risk perception, psychological resilience, social support, and loneliness. The study found that (1) The risk perception of the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant positive predictive effect on college students' loneliness. (2) Psychological resilience played a mediating role between the risk perception of the COVID-19 pandemic and loneliness. (3) Social support played a moderating role between the risk perception of the COVID-19 pandemic and loneliness. The results show that the risk perception of the COVID-19 pandemic both directly and indirectly affected college students' loneliness, the latter through psychological resilience, and that social support can regulate risk perception and loneliness; in other words, social support can reduce the negative impact of risk perception on loneliness. The research conclusions have practical guiding significance for preventing, intervening in, and alleviating college students' loneliness.

This study examined the potential effect of Inquiry-Based Learning Strategy (IBL) on the tenth-grade students' reading comprehension. Two groups and a quasi-experimental design were used. Two complete sections of grade 10 students from a public Secondary School for Girls in Irbid was randomly assigned by the researcher. The experimental group of 30 students was chosen first, and then the control group of 30 students. A pre-post reading comprehension test was designed before and after the study in order to fulfill its goals. Additionally, the experimental group was taught using the IBL strategy, whereas the control group was taught using the traditional teaching methods recommended in the tenth-grade Teacher's Book. According to the findings, there were significant statistical differences favoring the experimental group over the control group. In light of the findings, the researcher recommended employing the IBL strategy to students with various levels and EFL skills.

The study investigated business clothing for females that are suitable for effective workplace job performance in Nigeria. It identified fabric characteristics of females’ business clothing already used; fabric characteristics needed and deign style preference suitable for females’ business clothing for workplace job performance. The study was guided by four research questions and two hypotheses. Population was 4,806 female civil servants in Delta state, Nigeria. Multi- stage sampling technique was utilized to select 136 females. Structured questionnaire was employed to collect data and descriptive statistics and t-test were used for data analysis. Finding showed that cotton, nylon, lacra fabrics, light and medium fabric weight, blue, black, gray, colors, cool texture, rough, smooth surface plain, stripe and flowered design among others were fabric characteristics of business clothing are being used in workplace. But prefer and need cotton, nylon, lacra, light weight, black, blue, gray, brown colours, cool, plain, surface fabrics. Net, organza, heavy weight, white, yellow, toweling fabrics were not preferred. Findings further showed that straight gown, waist flared and gathered gowns, skirt, blouse and suit/jacket, straight, shirt, long sleeves, garment with or without collar, below knee length, peter and convertible collars, among others were highly preferred design styles of clothes. In conclusion, office workers determine what they wear to perform workplace daily jobs promotes self-confidence, comfort, professional worth and productivity. It was recommended that female employees should not downplay appropriate work attires for comfort and organizational productivity to satisfy fashion trends.

This study investigated the capacity building needs for manual and computer assisted teaching of pattern drafting for entrepreneurship in tertiary institutions in Nigeria. The study was conducted and guided by two research questions and two hypotheses. This study adopted an ex-post facto research design. The population for the study consisted of 131 Home Economics lecturers from the Universities, Polytechnic, and Colleges of Education in South East Nigeria. The entire population was studied because of its manageable size, hence there was no sampling. The results of this study showed that the Home Economics lecturers are competent in drafting patterns using manual method. Technical skills required for lecturers of Home Economics to advance from manual to computer-assisted teaching of pattern drafting were identified. They include ability to grade patterns, ability to use software packages, and ability to discuss procedures of pattern drafting among others. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that computer assisted teaching of pattern drafting should be incorporated and applied by Home Economics lecturers to ensure that students acquire technical skills that will enable them to enter into entrepreneurship.
