“…In transitioning to EL, it makes sense to monitor students' perceptions to confirm that attitudes are positive and that such a transformative pedagogy delivers a better quality of learning experience. In addition, quality of learning is a construct that reflects the degree of learning in terms of knowledge and skills gained and the extent to which students are satisfied with the learning process and experience (Thindwa, 2015).…”

Experiential learning (EL) has great potential to transform students’ learning experience. Few studies, however, have focused on the use of EL in computer science education. The purpose of this study was to examine students' experiences with EL in computer science. Data were collected to examine the influence of EL on students' attitudes and quality of learning. The antecedent variables included student involvement, learning expectancy, instructor impact, course structure, and prior experience. PLS-SEM with PLSc was used to test generated hypotheses. The findings indicated that student involvement positively correlated with attitudes and learning expectancy. Instructor impact is positively associated with student involvement, quality of learning, and attitudes. Prior experience positively correlated with learning expectancy. Finally, course structure positively moderated the relationship between student involvement and learning expectancy. It is concluded that EL is a promising pedagogy to improve student attitudes and quality of learning in software engineering education.

The following article regards a modern school textbook, its nature and main properties, which is essential for the study of the development of the student's linguistic world view in the learning process. Hereby we provide the definition of the textbook within the scientific views of the Institute for Strategy of Education Development of the Russian Academy of Education, in particular of the scientific school Didactics of General Education: M.N. Skatkin, I.Y. Lerner and N.M. Shahmaev's Scientific School and the scientific school Primary School of the 21st Century: N.F. Vinogradova's Scientific School.Moreover, we include I.L. Bim's analysis of a textbook in a foreign language. In order to study textbook content from cognitive linguistic point of view we apply the metaphor of an accurate educational navigator that lays the teacher and student's route to the world of knowledge. In the result of the study of theoretical background on the subject of the research, the textbook is defined as a fundamental teaching tool, enabling one to conceive effective solutions to learning problems, which concern the development of the student's cognition and ethics. Thus, the textbook presents a piece of educational discourse, complete in its composition, structure, and content, aiming at engaging the student into the world. The presence of a complete linguistic world view in the textbook remains compulsory and essential, and the study of this linguistic world view is possible to conduct on the basis of the cognitive linguistic approach.

Based on the information system success and situational strength theories, this study explores the moderating effect of learner quality and instructor quality on the relationship between information quality and student satisfaction with e-learning. Survey data were collected from 333 college students, and the proposed relationships were assessed using the SMARTPLS structural equation modeling tool. The direct relationship between information quality and student satisfaction is significant; however, the moderating effect of learner quality and instructor quality is insignificant. The moderating effects of learner and instructor quality have been less researched in the existing literature. This study contributes to uncovering the complex interactions between these variables and the relationship between information quality and satisfaction.
