Abstract: The use of computer hardware and software in education and training is a long established practice. In this work, an educational software is developed as a computer-supported tool to assist students' learning. Software engineering aspects are emphasized during the development, for the product to be simple and user friendly such that it can be used by all targeted students. In addition, the package is open for future expansions. Emphasis is paid to implementing solutions for issues that students face difficulties in understanding. The developed software system is provided with a database for many courses of the Electrical and Computer Engineering department. For the purpose of evaluation, number of students have used the software. Those students express a noticeable interest and benefit.

Authors: ABDELWAHAB M ELNAGGAR , ABDULHAMED ALMASOUD

Abstract: Using the reciprocal and the command ‎teaching styles in physical education classes in middle schools showed improvements in psychomotor, cognitive and emotional domains. ‎Subjects were 240 middle school students. They were randomly selected and assigned to an experimental group taught by reciprocal style and control group taught by the command style. Variables consisted of four physical and motor skills; two cognitive; and three emotional measures. A ‎physical education program lasted ten weeks were conducted on the subjects. Results showed that the experimental group was superior on the control group. It was ‎concluded that reciprocal teaching style was more effective in teaching physical ‎education classes than the command teaching style.‎
