Self-efficacy, or confidence in one’s ability to do a task, is a key element that affects students’ motivation and performance. For that reason, the main purpose of this study was to collect specific information about students’ self-efficacy and factors affecting it. This includes comparing the differences between three Moroccan universities representing public and private institutions in terms of students’ self-efficacy. A sample of 365 undergraduate students responded to the questionnaire on self-efficacy for self-regulated learning on a 5-point Likert scale. The findings demonstrate that students' level of self-efficacy is moderate. With regard to the differences between the three universities, a slight difference was found in favor of the private one. Meanwhile, third-year students reported greater self-efficacy than first and second-year students. However, no statistically significant differences were found between male and female students. More importantly, the results reveal that students’ living circumstances during the academic year and their initial motive behind enrolling in university affected their self-efficacy beliefs. Overall, this study provides teachers and practitioners with insights about self-efficacy that could be used to promote students’ success in Moroccan universities.
This study seeks to survey whether students are motivated to learn English or not and to evaluate the differences within and between three most known universities in Morocco, involving a private one, in terms of students’ English learning motivation. Moreover, factors that make a student more motivated to learn English were investigated. This study examines motivation of university students according to their institution, gender, and other variables. Assessment of university students’ motivation was by scores on items from the Academic Motivation Scale. The sample consisted of 329 undergraduate students from three different Moroccan universities. The most important finding was that participants in general are quite motivated to learn English with a score of (M = 3.80) with regard to the overall score using a 5-point Likert scale, and a higher level of introjected extrinsic motivation (M = 4.11), which means that they do such tasks because they are supposed or asked to do them. Moreover, factors such as how students consider university, their location during the academic year, and their decision behind choosing to go to university were found to affect students’ motivation.
The increase of mobile devices, the availability of several features, and the decrease in terms of cost of smartphones made them useful not only for communication, but also for learning. Similarly, the importance of English in higher education makes it one of the most fundamental foreign languages that students want to learn. Many students look for different ways to learn English. Among these ways is Mobile Learning which becomes nowadays a useful tool for language learning due to the evolution of mobile technology. However, little is known about the attitudes of Moroccan students towards English Mlearning. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine the attitudes of using Mlearning by university students to learn English. The study involved 286 students representing different universities, levels, and departments. A questionnaire was distributed and interviews were carried out to answer the research questions. Results revealed that university students have positive attitudes towards English Mlearning. The total average mean score obtained for the used scale was M=3.80. Additionally, the qualitative findings confirmed some results of the quantitative data and displayed other important findings related to feelings and obstacles towards English Mlearning. The findings are of great importance for teachers, practitioners, administrators, and websites/apps programmers.
This research focuses on the role of cloud computing from a logistic and strategic vision in organizations. Our research question focuses on understanding the difficulties and limitations that bring the support of steering direction function of information systems in the use of cloud computing in an organization. An exploratory study was conducted with an organization. The results are presented in this article in which we start with an introduction concerning cloud computing. This article includes also an understanding of this effective solution. Meanwhile, our work involves also citing changes of the case study after using cloud computing emphasizing on financial and material gains. In brief, this article discusses one of the most important subjects in the field of management, methodology and management. Especially through the presence of ERP within companies which becomes a compulsory element and not one of the choices.
Informatics is a science that develops and opens up to a group of other sciences. The current researches have been established for multiple partnerships between informatics and the rest of the sciences. This is noticed in the integration of Informatics for instance within medicine, economics, and humanities. Researchers have made computer's software that help draw the emotional state of the individual from the analysis of the movements that appear on the face. Today, we will follow the same plan, but we will not only study facial features. We will determine the personality based on other data and also face dimensions. We will rely on determining the type of personality based on the analysis of specific parts of the face such as the upper part of the front face, the middle section of the nose and the mouth, and the lower jaw section. In the current study, we used a modern scientific methodology that is manifested in the digitization of human sciences and in the analysis of the image by adopting a software product based on determining the dimensions of the face, specifically mathematical and descriptive, and then extracting the conclusions contained in the black box of the software's information. Our conclusions and results are confirmed by a group of people whom we have adopted in our experiences. Moreover, we did not only define personality but we have also made it possible for individuals to deal with four types. We dealt with many people, but we can recognize the features of their characters only after the experience and keeping in company with them for a long time. There may also be other ways through which we can take a preliminary idea of the person's character when we deal with the features of the face.
