E-learning and distance education .. Necessity or tradition.

For discussion: Do you think that e-learning and distance education has become a necessity in our lives? Or that the tradition of the approach taken by European universities for the collection of financial? Or a means of certification from a distance? Is the potential of networks, Internet service providers capable to succeed in such an ambitious national project.?
When announced, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Higher Education for Educational Affairs, Dr. Mohammed bin Abdul Aziz Al Ohali that the Ministry of Higher Education is working on a ***** e-University for more than a year and a half; for the start of the level of bachelor's, master's, and the pursuit of the university to the work of partnerships with universities in electronic prestigious; to take advantage which, in addition to the establishment of educational centers in different regions provide for the student what is needed from the Internet service and other services.

Despite the importance of the conference with the participation of important international figures such as the founder of Wikipedia and the inventor of the Web site and other scientists.
He said during his speech at the press conference which was held two days before the headquarters of the National Centre in Riyadh, the details of the second international conference to learn electronic and distance education to be held during the period from Monday 18 through 21 of this month under the slogan "Learn a unique new generation", "Education Distance is not a complete substitute for all segments of society, but he needs is located in the following geographical or functional conditions or age, noting that it loses the basics of formal education, and has achieved success in graduate programs, and denied the abolition of university affiliation.

Second International Conference on e-learning and distance education

Waiting for your comments.

Will e-learning in the teaching of thinking???

It is important in addressing a vital and effective in our modern world where education is one of the main pillars upon which to build communities renaissance and advancement, which is one of the main axes in the system of the progress of civilization, and this perspective should be to look at education as an essential element an effective and important component of the system of integrated communities , which is closely linked to systems of economic, social, political, industrial, agricultural and other, must also consider education as an integrated system of specific goals and is made up of subsystems (Salah al-Din Tawfik, 2003).
The preparation of the student to live in a rapidly changing society, requires of those interested in education to help him to adapt to this society, the rapid change through the opportunity in front of him and his training to solve the problems faced by himself, and can be achieved if we respect the ways of thinking and uncovered its potential by directing them to the way that make this student will be able to solve problems, and adapted to the environment in which they live.
The nature of this age desperately needs intellectuals to non-traditional, but intellectuals are characterized by the skills of high fit with this age because this age is the age of creativity, so increased attention in recent times (since the eighties and nineties) the subject of improvement and development of higher-order thinking among the students of schools at all stages , which is urged by the research and recent studies, and the recommendations of the urgent need for development.

This has led to the emergence of two directions in how to develop higher-order thinking skills for students (in general and not specific to a module).

* The first trend: the view that this is done through the lessons and special programs and specific in the development of higher-order thinking skills.
* The second trend: the view of the possibility of developing higher-order thinking skills through the daily quota of educational material.
(Ooter Patch Renate, 2000).

The current era is characterized by rapid changes and how the growing information and developments of knowledge covering all areas of life. Command
Which requires officials at the instruction of the educational process need to keep abreast of these changes through the supply of individuals
Methods that meet their growth and progress and keep pace with developments without interruption. So there was a shift in the psychology of learning
From the perspective of behavioral to the cognitive perspective, where the focus is on how the learner's store of information in the brain,
And what the mentality of operations, which was reflected in the field of design education, both at the theoretical level or at the level of
Application (Kamal Olive, 2002).
As a result of the impact of perception of cognitive attitudes to training and learning skills, it took designers
Teaching and training design more suitable for modern knowledge and process knowledge away from the traditional trend, so the interest in
Direction of knowledge in teaching has become a necessity require the efficient teacher has mastered the skills of this approach
(Youssef Qatami and Majed Abu Jaber, 1966).

University education

University education Almtmazj
Educators are constantly looking for better ways and means to provide an interactive learning environment to attract the attention of students and encourage them to exchange views and experiences. The information technology represented in the computer and the Internet and Milhak them from multi-media of communication, of the most successful means to provide this learning environment, which works to achieve the integration between theoretical and practical aspects, and provide an opportunity for the transmission of learners advanced skills in thinking, and integration in building the curriculum and linked to the environment local and community needs, in addition to its role in taking into account individual differences among learners.
And this became mastering the basic skills needed to use information technology imperatives important in education, because of their important role in facilitating communication and access to information and prepare research and studies. And lack of mastery of these skills the modern limits of the interaction of teachers with their students, and access to sources of knowledge needed for teaching. It has become to use a computer and a network of electronic information requirements of the President in the process of teaching and research. He became education and provide students with information needed to use computers and other means of modern technology, to keep up with all that is new in the educational process, especially since many of the sources, references and information have become stored in electronic form, and became the possibility of returning to and use of imposing knowledge and skill in the use of modern technology. In addition to supplying such technical ease and speed of access to information. That is no longer sufficient sources of traditional knowledge for the educational material in full, and it became necessary to use modern information banks that store information electronically. And the ability to access to these sources and use of the factors that contribute to the development of education, progress, and improve quality. It became Aldharoi be good teacher and a student at the University of the necessary skills that enable them to extract this information and use of a quick and easy.
The fact is that many teachers are not proficient in computer skills. And know some of them computer skills in general, mastered the use of the Internet, and mastered a large number of teachers in English and typing skills are facing problem in printing in Arabic or vice versa. And whether such skills are necessary in normal conditions for education, it seems more important to the Palestinian universities in which they live in a state of siege and isolation from each other, because of conditions imposed by the occupation, such as the erection of barriers that impede the movement from place to place, and communicate with the Centers for Education and sources of information readily. In addition to what you are suffering from these universities lack access to adequate references and sources.
It is intended to university education in this study Almtmazj Blended Learning to use modern technology in teaching without giving up the usual educational reality, and attendance in the classroom. The focus is on direct interaction in the classroom through the use of modern communication mechanisms, Kalhacob, networks and Internet portals. This can be described education as to how you would organize the information, attitudes and educational experiences offered to the learner through a multimedia offered by modern technology or information technology. And is characterized by this type of education, in short time, effort and cost, through the delivery of information to learners as soon as possible, and to enable us to manage
The educational process and control, and measuring and evaluating the performance of learners, in addition to improving the overall level of academic achievement, and provide an attractive learning environment.
If the lecture is one of the teaching methods based on the dumping of information, the use of media in conjunction with other technical, it helps to get rid of the negative aspects of traditional education, which depends on the thrown bit of information read by the lecturer. As it should help the education of thought, creativity and innovation through an effective partnership between teacher and student, and help media technology used in the delivery of information, if used properly, in creating an environment conducive to interaction and critical thinking and participation between teacher and student. In order to use multimedia in education, must be available to the learner and the teacher the necessary skills to use information technology. This means that available to the learner and the teacher, the ability to use multimedia used in the acquisition, processing, storage and distribution and dissemination of images of different text and image, devices work electronically, combining computers and communication devices, and electronic information network.
What is multimedia?
That elements of higher education are many and varied, the students, teachers, curriculum, administration and evaluation. The resort Almtmazj university education, in addition to the above elements to information technology, which is all that is used in the field of education, information technology, such as the use of computer and its applications, and networks of local and global. Include multimedia e-learning many forms of technology and techniques, including those associated with the preparation of subjects in electronic form, such as printing, photography, directing and design, including those linked to through the presentation of these subjects in the classrooms of different techniques Kalhacob and display device, including those linked to store, transfer and retrieval of the path of easy and rapidly through local and global networks.
The eighties saw the emergence of CD for education, then appeared Cylinder digital video (DVD), and then came the spread of the Internet and e-mail and the various data banks. Included in this media and teaching methods are available on the Internet, journals and electronic journals specializing in specific areas. These may be educational media specific to a time such as television or radio programs, and specific time such as videos, sound recordings, where you can listen at any time. Then available video cameras, audio, which provided opportunities for meetings on the Internet, video conferencing, and other means of communication and access to information. The teacher uses the information in the presentation and explained in the classroom, a group of multi-media electronic, is a set of software that helps in the presentation of the material easily and clearly. The recall of these media that are suitable for e-learning and achieve highly effective, visual display applications, "PowerPoint", or software that helps in the presentation of databases and other educational materials, from your computer. Must be a teacher to learn ways to use for the preparation of these presentations.
Traditional education and education Almtmazj
Education is Almtmazj complement to the regular education teaching methods. This is an education major tributary of the traditional university education, which depends on the lecture, since information technology is not a goal or an end in itself, but rather a means to communicate knowledge and achieve the objectives of the well-known education and upbringing. It makes the learner is ready to meet the requirements of life, which has come to rely more or less on information technology. This combines this method with the usual teaching shall be supportive of him, in a quick and easy and clear. It will not be using education Almtmazj successful, if you lacked the essential factors of the elements available in the current traditional education. The latter achieves a lot of functions indirectly or is not visible, where a collective attendance of students is important, reinforces the importance of joint work, and instills a valuable educational indirectly. In addition to contact with written texts is very important, as it pays to reflect in depth texts that are dealing with them. The aims of university education to develop critical thinking skills and creativity, and methods of knowledge generation. If an individual's learning how to obtain the knowledge and acquired skills necessary for their generation, achieved a higher education goals, as this university student to pursue learning and his research in the future. The most important role of university education is to achieve the needs of the student's creative, and practical needs of the community. Perhaps Almtmazj education, is the most appropriate way to accustom the learner to continuous learning, which can educate themselves and enrich the information around him, in addition to what its own characteristics, Comeronp time and ease of use.
In the view of the number of educators and experts, to education Almtmazj or education based on modern technology, you may run into resistance impede the success, if the breach of the conduct of the educational process current, or threatened to find the parties: the teacher and the learner, and represent the basic components, in addition to the curriculum, and administrative programs. For this reason, one of the first conditions for the success of this approach to education, to be complementary to the methods of regular education. To do so it must be a teacher able to use the techniques of modern education, the use of different means of communication. Must also be available with the student's skills for using computers and the Internet and e-mail, and provide the infrastructure which is in the preparation of cadres trained and provide the required lines of communication that help to transfer this learning to the classroom. In addition to providing software and hardware needed for this type of education. The application of curricula and teaching methods Almtmazj be needed to accomplish the following scenario:
1 - the provision of laboratory computers and the development of local information networks and global reach of the student.
2 - Provide the teacher and the learner with the skills necessary to use multi-media, and through the provision of necessary training courses.
3 - Providing educational curricula appropriate to this form of education.
4 - We must become leaders, teachers and mentors to teach their students through the use of computers and applications, and networks of local and global information and production of educational materials appropriate for teaching and diverse.
These include the vision of three axes, the first axis is based on upgrading existing technologies in the classroom, and the preparation of the necessary training for teachers, learning institutions and linking to each other and the World Wide Web of the Internet. The second axis is the training of university students on self-reliance and continuing education. The third axis to provide a strategy for the supervision and evaluation of university education Almtmazj. To consider and reflect on the comprehensive concept of education Almtmazj indicates that it can achieve many goals, such as increasing the effectiveness of teachers and increase the number of students people study, and the provision of curriculum its image e-teacher and student, and easily updated each year, saving time and costs, and dissemination of technology in society and give a broader concept of continuing education. Can provide this form of education the opportunity to provide educational material for students in a clear and could return to it easily.

Modern styles in higher education

E-Learning
Defines our current era of technological revolution and the explosion of knowledge, has witnessed the last decade of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-century atheist, tremendous progress in the field of Information Technology, and transformed the means of modern technological world to a small global village. This development is reflected in many areas, but that the area has benefited greatly is education, which relies on these techniques and became the so-called e-learning.
As a result of this revolution in methods and techniques of education, which provided the means to assist in the provision of scientific material for the student in one easy, fast and clear, there arose various forms of e-learning, to suit the needs of learners and the nature of the tools available for the connection. We will focus in this study in the form of one of them a university education, which relies on the use of electronic media, multi-throwing lessons in the classroom, and communication between teachers and learners, and receive information, and interaction between student and teacher and between the student and the available sources of information at the university. They can call this method in education "Education Almtmazj" Blended Learning in order to differentiate between it and other forms of e-learning that has spread as a result of the revolution in the world of communication and information technology. E-learning and open up new avenues for Almtmazj learners were not available before. And subject curricula be reviewed to keep pace with modern requirements in the information society, attention was given to providing individuals with the skills that qualify them for the use of information technology. And began the labor market, through its needs for new skills and qualifications, attitudes and competencies required in the field of innovative university education.
Still the educational process in the Palestinian universities are in the classroom, focusing somewhat on the teacher as the primary source of information, and are relying on traditional methods of teaching like a book and pen and paper board. The use of multiple electronic media is still unknown to many teachers and students. In order to modify and develop multi-media education policy at the university level, it is imperative that the technology becomes an essential tool in the learning process at all educational levels and in various disciplines.
Must be at the forefront of this study to present the development of information technology in the Palestinian higher education in the circumstances of the Palestinian people during the current period. We have adopted the Ministry of Education and Higher Education in cooperation with Palestinian universities many of the recommendations for the advancement of education, information technology, have also made great efforts in building a communications network between universities, science academies Filstunaip to exchange information and promote joint research. But all these attempts did not write it out to take place due to lack of financial support required and the lack of coordination between universities and the lack of proper utilization of available resources at times. Suggests Dr. Badi carcinoid in a report on the programs of computer science and information technology in the Palestinian universities, that these universities had developed curricula in order to provide an end acceptable to the experience and education for students in the field of computer sciences and skills, and succeeded some universities in the provision of some compulsory courses in computer science for all university students. And was able to some universities such as the Palestinian Al Quds University and Bethlehem University and the University of Bezzi in building advanced information networks through which you can provide Internet services for staff and students alike.
The aim of this study was to determine the concept of education Almtmazj, and then to address the characteristics and benefits and the obstacles that stand in the way application. It also aims to study the possibility of developing the skills to use information technology to the specific segment of the faculty and students, and develop a strategy to help lay the groundwork that could be used for the dissemination of computer culture in the Palestinian universities. It also aims also to develop the skills to use modern technologies used in education, such as computer and its various applications and sources of electronic knowledge, and instilling the concept of self-learning, through the combination of education classroom and e-learning in equal proportions Blended Learning, to create a culture of computer teachers and students. Because the forms of e-learning are many and varied, and vary according to circumstances and parties involved in the learning process, Kaltalm 7 distance, and learning inside the classroom, will be limited this study to only one form, a university education Almtmazj any use of computers and other technologies for information in teaching within the classrooms.
The process involves the shift towards this form of education multi-media, a set of steps to start preparing to be educational in content, or allows the use of modern technology. The process includes the provision of essential supplies for teachers and students that enable them to use this method in teaching and learning, which require the use of applications of modern technology in teaching, to learn the benefits and obstacles that result, therefore, does not need to train students and teachers on these techniques to see how their ability to use in the study or teaching, and determine how best to encourage teachers to develop their skills and increase their awareness of the importance of using electronic sources of knowledge and tools used in the delivery to learners.

characteristics of e-learning model based on the following projects

One of the characteristics of e-learning model based on the following projects:
1 - motivate students to participate in the tasks with realistic endings unlimited, and the role of mentor and teacher is responsible for overcoming obstacles and students work in cooperative groups usually are the division of roles that will ensure their individual capacities to take advantage of the best form possible.
2 - focus on the important educational objectives and compatible with local and international standards.
3 - based e-learning based on projects to provide the questions require in-depth content and recognition of relationships and brainstorm.
4 - depends on project-based learning to provide a genuine and realistic tasks associated with the process and the lives of students, leaving them the freedom to choose projects, and tasks according to their desire and interests.
5 - The implementation of projects to employ technological means aimed at developing the skills of cooperation, participation and the use of techniques such as thinking and web applications or e-mail.
6 - supports project-based learning higher-order thinking skills such as critical thinking, cooperation and assess the relationships.
7 - includes e-learning based on multiple types of projects to measure the student's understanding of the desired goal, and help them complete the work with high quality, and the students review what they have learned and concluded it by using PowerPoint presentations or written documents.
One of the advantages of e-learning based on projects: developing a spirit of teamwork and collaboration in group projects, and develop the spirit of free competition made in individual projects. And taking into account individual differences between students and each other in terms of choice of projects consistent with the needs, interests, desires and allowing the formation of social relationships among them. It also provides an opportunity to encourage students to work and production and linking the theoretical aspects of the process and prepare students for working life outside the places of formal education, and application of content learned by students in conjunction with skills that they have in the process of carrying out the project.
Despite the multiple advantages of e-learning based on projects but there are some problems faced by the recruitment of this learn from them: the difficulty of its implementation in light of educational policy the current depends on the quota of traditional curricula separate and the large number of scheduled items, and they need to be huge potential financial and material, as well as exaggeration to give freedom to the students educated and lack of organization and hierarchy in the project preparation. And diverse projects undertaken by the students according to their objective, there are projects of community service and projects, simulation and role-play to gain skills, and construction projects, design, production, projects and problem-solving, and cooperation projects through the means of communication distance can also be classified projects according to participants, there are group projects It projects that are requested from all students of the chapter to participate in the action of one, or perform a single task in a cooperative group, and there are individual projects and which may be required of every student in the group perform the same project submitted for the rest of his colleagues, any implementation of the same project, but individually, has Students are required to select and implement the draft is different from the rest of the projects carried out by his colleagues.

E-learning based on projects

Strategy is e-learning project-based Project Based e-learning from the most appropriate strategies that can be used to train and prepare students, as characterized by this strategy, the possibility of the recruitment and use of tools electronic interaction across the web to achieve the cooperation and participation in the implementation of these projects, and take advantage of all the electronic resources available through the Web access to and exchange of information electronically between the students and each other, without resorting to the teacher supervising the projects.
The strategy of e-learning based on projects of learning strategies based on the learner, and that studies have confirmed the educational impact and effectiveness in the development of multiple skills of learners of the most important skills of collaborative work and learning skills and communication, and supports the implementation of projects to work in small groups, exchange in which students of information and views and enable them to to communicate with colleagues and experts with similar interests, and have the responsibility to search for information, drafting and being able to see issues affecting them, and what develops thinking skills they have.
The implementation of strategic e-learning based on projects in the learning environment over the Web, where are this environment, the availability of tools and techniques to interact Interactive tools that allow students to participate and interact electronically, whether in the discussion of ideas, exchange information, and called on the tools and techniques for interaction across the web names are many, including web applications Interactive Interactive Web applications, Web social Social Web applications, the second generation of the Web or Web 2.0, but they are all names for the technologies or services are to achieve the principle of participation, interaction and flexibility in learning via the web, and these technologies: Blogs Bloges, and forums Forums, and technical wiki Wikis, AJAX technology and Ajax, and technical blogging voice Podcasting, abstracts and technical sites RSS, social and favorites, and others. We have changed the techniques and tools to interact via the Web from the way in which educational material across the web, after that they rely on Web sites static and e-mail and mailing lists, personal pages, there has been recent applications based on social and participate in enriching the content, and become the user is central to making the content and add to it, after that it depends on to look at and read the information provided by his site only
It is also based learning projects, one of methods of instructional design that the teacher and fits many of the topics and skills that are presented to learners, and know-based learning projects, as any field work done by the student and is the district of Procedure and under the supervision of the teacher and be meaningful and serve the educational material, as defined as an activity or group of hands-on activities and mental exercises learners in an interactive social and under the guidance of the teacher in order to achieve the objectives set, and returns the name of this learning project because the students who apply and employ what has been gained from the knowledge and skills, whether cognitive or performances or conscience in the positions of real educational and implement them, for themselves and in a spirit of them instead of relying on the teacher.
And learning based on projects depends on encouraging students to inquiry and exploration and accountability and the search for solutions, and encourages learners to demonstrate the competencies of mind to widening the circle of knowledge from the abstract to the application, and encourages the spirit of cooperation among the educated for the implementation of their projects, and plays the teacher the role of mentor and leader in the design and implementation of these projects.
And learning is electronically based on the projects when it comes to the content of educational tasks or projects are introduced and implemented in e-learning environment, and depends on the participation and interaction and teamwork electronically over networks is also a learning project-based instructional model that revolves around the student, the students learn when they are immersed in the Project work endeared them and when they have the opportunity to address the problems of a complex and challenging they raise their interest and encourage them to query the active and raise the level of thinking, so it uses the model-based learning projects to provide topics that do not depend on the conservation and memory, but in the provision of the topics that require research and investigation and enhance the skills of collaborative work and decision-making toward solving a specific problem.
And provides a model-based learning projects are many advantages to students and teachers, including increased self-reliance and responsibility and to improve the trend towards education and the provision of a strategy to contain the learners cultural backgrounds and different educational, and gain more experience and greater cooperation among colleagues and providing opportunities to create relationships with students, also provides a learning model project-based learning environment is characterized by its climate of fun and excitement and the desire for further learning and to express their ideas freely and turns of style-based learning to follow orders to carry out the activities of learning self-direction, and memorization and repetition to the ability to discovery, connectivity and presentation, and listen and do not interact to communicate and responsibility, and know the facts, terminology and content to the operations of understanding, and theory to application, and rely on the teacher to self-reliance.
The model is based e-learning based on projects to determine the electronic resources used in the implementation of the project, described the strategic use of each source to obtain educational material and organization, and presentation of electronic resources for students of strategy appear competitive information between them, and linking the information before the educational objectives of the project educational website, and the use of sequence information in the implementation of elements of the project, and to train students to take responsibility for their findings and practical applications of the project, and helping students to control their behavior and working to develop their professional capabilities and connectivity between the information that they come to and integration with their peers and trained to participate in decisions on the project website.
And e-learning based projects gives the opportunity for learners to self-fulfillment, whether individual projects or part of the activity of the working group, and returns the importance of this type of learning that it pays learners to gain important experience, and that the use of techniques of electronic interaction and speed of communication with the group or with the teacher and the speed of analysis ideas and opinions and discussing an important feeding and rapid increase of knowledge and experience of learners based on the project.
The role of the teacher in e-learning based on projects in the fact that the observer and the supervisor without interference in the interaction between the students and used in this case, systems of direct dialogue, discussion forums, email and interactive web technologies as tools of communication.
In the form of e-learning based on projects is the formation of working groups according to levels of students so as to assign each group a specific project to be implemented, and is the division of labor within the same group so that each individual in a specific role, and then reacts to all members of the group together after a certain period of compilation work and the exchange of opinions around him, and there must be a leader for each group is elected by its members and be responsible for access to the collective decisions and is responsible for organizing the discussion and organization of electronic interaction and communication between members.

E-learning in developing countries, hopes and challenges

Education, water, air .. Famous words uttered by the late great Adebna Dr. Taha Hussein, he was the first club of free education in Egypt .. How were the words of a wise .. States advance the efforts of their children .. And United do not thrive unless the people of learner .. People are ignorant and fail to be delicious according to colonize the occupied by all means and resources and Estpz Istabdha. And sincerity of the late great poet Ahmed Shawki, when he said:
Science and money to build their own people did not build the King of ignorance and reduce
If we reviewed the history, civilizations of the previous nations ranging from ancient Egyptian civilization and Chinese civilization, the Romanian and Islamic civilization and the modern European civilization. All civilizations have flourished and made the efforts of science and enlightenment. And we know how to make leaders and leaders of the strenuous efforts to educate their people.
We have seen the Holy Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him which frees the prisoner peer education of Muslims. How much grant caliphs Islamists in the ages of prosperity are gifts to those who submit a new Science, translation and interpretation, new theories in medicine, chemistry, mathematics, applied science, inventions, and all the world and offers and knows the students, prompting those civilization, what was not achieved by other civilization in that era of history .
Here is European civilization, focusing on education, scientists and grant awards to scientists (Nobel Prize) and the adoption edifices of science everywhere. And see the heads of European countries and the United States means how the educational process, attracting scientists from everywhere to advance progress in that country and use all the means of seduction to urge them to stay Belk States and contributing to its development.
We have seen the Prime Minister of Japan celebrates with the Minister of Education and the education of my mother last Japanese citizen in Japan as a whole. And illiteracy have become now in Japan is equal to zero.
The basic elements of the educational process:
If our vocabulary to the educational process, we find it boils down to a set of key elements of the following:
• The student: a targeted education, training or learning.
• Teacher: He explains and presents and teaches the curriculum of choice.
• the curriculum: the educational material or Altderbep to be absorbed by the student and learn.
• Location: This is what has been termed the school, which consists of a semester or several classrooms or lecture halls, workshops, educational or training field or lab ..
• aid for education or training: or what has been termed an educational aids, tools and appliances and equipment that the teacher in explaining the cooperation of educational material or may be used by the student to Jesusb curriculum starting from the blackboard and chalk, and even computers and Internet networks.
• Calendar: What is a Stalh upon assessment and examinations are the means and tools that are used for measuring the absorption of the student and the educational material to be collected.
• means of communication or communication: It can either be:
o directly: and be confrontation between the student and teacher at the same time and place.
o indirectly: and be the center or through an intermediary such as books, lectures, radio, television, telephone and computer networks and international network of information (Internet) and satellites and so on.
• the scope of education: a range that Sitaatm the educational process or a Altderbep:
o the scope of Zamani: Specifies the timing of education or training.
o spatial scale: Specify the whereabouts of the scientific education of the parties.
o range objective: to be determined accurately Education Topics
o legal domain: Specifies the legal educational process and ethical controls.
o the scope of Mali: determines the cost of the educational process on the parties to participate in the educational process.
Planning of the educational process:
I must state from the outset to define the objectives of the educational process carefully and the extent of the process to achieve those goals Atpamoma. For example, the father went well as industrial objectives for the education industry in general and in specific areas such as sometimes the auto industry in northern Italy, or iron and steel in the south of England or the oil industry in many places of oil extraction or processing. He also states agricultural nations toward their educational objectives of agricultural education, agricultural research and agricultural export. Trading nations and draws its educational goals to advance the work of the trade, business and banks and so on. Other countries are also focusing on the military industry for example, or focus on scientific research, chemical or biological weapons. Must also be in order to achieve those goals that have dimensions of time and specific measurements. In other words, to reduce the illiteracy rate from 40% to 30% of the population in a period of five years, for example, or that with the help of researchers and students in obtaining degrees in the field of genetic engineering research during the
Three years by not less than 50% of those enrolled in graduate studies at universities or to the rehabilitation of the 5 thousand teachers in primary education on computer science and information technology within a specific time period. It appears that the possibility of achieving those goals and how to measure the extent of its implementation or not.
The States also determine educational policies, which have achieved its objectives and comply with, according to its geographic and temporal, economic and cultural rights. And that those policies are clear to all segments of the educational process.
The State must also determine the critical success factors that may hinder the achievement of targets set by and determine how to address those constraints.
When the State sets educational policies and constraints that face the implementation of the educational process must take into account many factors determine, including:
• the population in general.
• enumerate the target of the educational process.
• the prevalence and distribution of the target in different communities (Urban - Rural - Bedouins - ....).
• definition and classification of the target age groups
• the definition of educational levels and educational tracks targeted (literacy - primary education - secondary education - university education - education over university education.
May also identify some other countries Onuaa of education and rehabilitation, such as:
o Azhari education types.
o vocational education of different types (such as plumbing - blacksmithing - carpentry - electrical work).
o vocational education of different types (such as car repair - Computer repair - repair of household appliances - ...)
• define the types of education: public education - my education - education funded by the views.
• Classification of Education Target: Agricultural Education - Industrial Education - Commercial Education - Vocational Education - ...
• the geographical nature of the state.
• Identify and means of communication available to each of the foregoing.
• the definition of the different cultures of the target groups of education.
Common features of developing countries
Mmasbak can draw the basic features common to developing countries:
• high rate of illiteracy.
• high unemployment, especially among holders of certificates of education.
• the low level of teachers.
• Low level of education and culture for students.
• the geographical distribution of diverse students.
• high rate of illiteracy among females.
• Lack of appropriate labor market requirements for the qualifications available.
• Learning outside the walls of the school (and Homaiseme the phenomenon of private tuition and are experiencing many countries consume billions of parents, a phenomenon of negative economic as they constitute a moral phenomenon, negative give the flag to those who have the capacity and are deprived of science who do not have the capacity, as it produces students who have the ability to save No capacity for innovation and creativity)
• lack of infrastructure (Transportation - Communication - Methods - Electricity).
• lack of financial support for these countries to finance development projects to them.
Addition to the uniqueness of some other countries, other features such as the geographical nature of the state (mountain - a desert - a vast sprawling - coastal -.....) and different races, cultures and religions of the target groups, as well as different languages and especially the People and the different dialects - ...
The current revolution in information technology and education:
We live now in an era of information and the information technology revolution enormous. There has been great development in scientific and technological progress are encouraged to say that this is leaps not achieved by human before, while took human for hundreds of years to move from the era of agriculture to the industrial age, has moved humanity into the atomic age in decades and then to the space age in years , then we see now is a tremendous technological progress almost every hour all over the globe. This era is characterized by many features, including:
• the fall of the spatial barriers between States and the world is now a single village.
• a huge influx of information.
• the availability of various sources of information for all of mankind without distinction.
• communication between all levels (countries and institutions, organizations and individuals) to each other.
• provide communication throughout the week and 24 hours. There is no interruption of communication.
• the fall of the temporal barriers.
• Do not monopolize the means of communication and networks.
• the availability and proliferation of electronic devices such as computers and electronic equipment.
• Easy and simple to use electronic devices.
All or some of these features contribute a lot in overcoming some of the problems faced by developing countries in addressing the problem of teaching. While lacking in developing countries to the networks that meet the communication between different parts of the State and at the same time you need to billions and many years to build such networks might be possible to achieve communication through the use of modern types of communication satellites and motor vehicle equipped with a position on the reception of these satellites in any place of the state.
It also may allow ease of use of machinery, equipment and computers, has published numerous curricula, culture, training and education to many groups and through the use of pools government or civil, such as cafes (internet cafes) or youth centers or clubs, popular or even the role fitted to some of the groups capable of in the villages and hamlets, and hamlets and Bedouin settlements (House of the mayor or chief of the tribe), or use of vehicles and mobile car and fitted with communications and computers (which is called convoys of mobile information technology) and then held in such remote places Awafiqirp unable to buy or the provision of computers and communications equipment, are not equipped information networks.
And the multiplicity of teaching aids provided by the Altknuljia now, such as interactive communication and virtual classes and networking for the Internet and smart schools contribute to breaking the vicious circle that took place in many developing countries of ignorance, backwardness and give a comparative advantage for e-learning for traditional education.
Thus, it is clear that current technology may contribute to a reasonable level in the dissemination of education in developing countries and break a lot of barriers to the educational process in developing countries.
And we will discuss in detail in later chapters for such uses.

Features of e-learning:
Is e-learning features numerous, and vary those features according to the provided by every means of technology used, while providing television is widespread and does not require any effort from the recipient of the scientific education may be a barrier of time constraint I have a learner may not suit the time of the learner to the timing of radio educational programs, we find that your computer provides the learner participation in the educational process and determine the timing of learning according to the desire of the learner.
And also provides a computer connected to a network the possibility of interactive dialogue between the learner and the teacher, which helps to complete the elements of the educational process can also be through the use of Allvzio n or radio, for example, teaching a very large number of listeners in times of multiple fit most groups, regardless of where and when they are a cheap way Cheap and you do not need to high cost. The use of computers and information networks, and you may need to higher cost and a greater effort to learn to use the devices are characterized by features more on radio and television, we will discuss later, but now we are in the process view of those features that characterize e-learning, including the following:

Given the importance of virtual classrooms in the new concept of e-learning and different root for traditional classroom education, secured in the customary we will give some observations and a simplified explanation of the role of education in virtual classrooms-mail:
In fact, Chapter imaginary is the separation of all components and elements accepted is subject to the teacher and students and learning materials and aids and exams, evaluation and financial cost and the rules and laws that govern the educational process, only where there is no place unrealistic, it is a web site, the Internet or local network Intranet and contains pages of information are available on those pages the educational elements mentioned above and all linked through the network and is also linked through the network to all other websites that contain naturally to other chapters imaginary Oovsol other real connected to the network by a limited number of students in one place at one school. It features chapter imaginary several advantages, including:
• Provide economic.
• provide a vast number and types of information sources.
• the ability to generate research of students.
• The ability to focus with the teacher where the student does not feel the presence of other students unless it is contained.
• complete freedom to choose the time and educational material and the teacher giving the student the ability to accommodate the larger.
• The use of dialogue (other means such as television, radio and electronic Alasitonat CDs and books do not allow the student dialogue with the teacher or with others).
There may be some weaknesses such as:
• the need to have the student the ability to use computers.
• the need to be a teacher a great deal of knowledge to deal with virtual classrooms and how to deal with students through it.
• the need to provide the Internet or local Intranet network information.
• the need to provide educational content suitable for publishing on the Web in the language understandable to students.
• the need for a management system and follow-up system for virtual classes.
Hence it is clear that the key element in these points is a rehabilitation teacher is the crucial element. And, of course, the education or teacher training on the use of virtual classrooms and the use of e-learning is generally considered one of the most important ingredients of success for e-learning and there are some Annabarjb focus include the following examples:
• training of teachers on modern technology.

Self-learning: E-Learning
A new term has also appeared with the advent of e-learning which is similar to the traditional liberal education who teaches courses in which students then travel to one of the educational institutions for the exam and obtain a particular certificate. The same concept declares many of the educational institutions for their capacity to provide self-learning for students who want to through the Internet and students to register themselves and pay the cost of the credit cards to those institutions and then identify and select materials for which they wish to learn and these institutions make these materials through their on the Internet or through CDs sent to the student and the student studied, and then progress to the tests set by the educational institution of the international network through the Internet and see the result immediately and obtain a certificate by mail or e-mail.

Abstract:
There is a real challenge facing developing countries, especially Arab countries now is that the great technological development and the information revolution, which changed many of the concepts and patterns of work and relationships, which requires those countries to take advantage of the new features provided by this development and try to cross the gap that separates them from developed countries or it will not join them may be this is the final run Rooms or sit in the circle of those States backwardness and ignorance. The following conclusions can be drawn up for this search in the following:

Will e-learning in the teaching of thinking???

It is important in addressing a vital and effective in our modern world where education is one of the main pillars upon which to build communities renaissance and advancement, which is one of the main axes in the system of the progress of civilization, and this perspective should be to look at education as an essential element an effective and important component of the system of integrated communities , which is closely linked to systems of economic, social, political, industrial, agricultural and other, must also consider education as an integrated system of specific goals and is made up of subsystems (Salah al-Din Tawfik, 2003).
The preparation of the student to live in a rapidly changing society, requires of those interested in education to help him to adapt to this society, the rapid change through the opportunity in front of him and his training to solve the problems faced by himself, and can be achieved if we respect the ways of thinking and uncovered its potential by directing them to the way that make this student will be able to solve problems, and adapted to the environment in which they live.
The nature of this age desperately needs intellectuals to non-traditional, but intellectuals are characterized by the skills of high fit with this age because this age is the age of creativity, so increased attention in recent times (since the eighties and nineties) the subject of improvement and development of higher-order thinking among the students of schools at all stages , which is urged by the research and recent studies, and the recommendations of the urgent need for development.

This has led to the emergence of two directions in how to develop higher-order thinking skills for students (in general and not specific to a module).

* The first trend: the view that this is done through the lessons and special programs and specific in the development of higher-order thinking skills.
* The second trend: the view of the possibility of developing higher-order thinking skills through the daily quota of educational material.
(Ooter Patch Renate, 2000).

The current era is characterized by rapid changes and how the growing information and developments of knowledge covering all areas of life. Command
Which requires officials at the instruction of the educational process need to keep abreast of these changes through the supply of individuals
Methods that meet their growth and progress and keep pace with developments without interruption. So there was a shift in the psychology of learning
From the perspective of behavioral to the cognitive perspective, where the focus is on how the learner's store of information in the brain,
And what the mentality of operations, which was reflected in the field of design education, both at the theoretical level or at the level of
Application (Kamal Olive, 2002).
As a result of the impact of perception of cognitive attitudes to training and learning skills, it took designers
Teaching and training design more suitable for modern knowledge and process knowledge away from the traditional trend, so the interest in
Direction of knowledge in teaching has become a necessity require the efficient teacher has mastered the skills of this approach
(Youssef Qatami and Majed Abu Jaber, 1966).

China's education to achieve excellence

China's education to achieve excellence

In the last month issued an international study on the performance of students of 65 countries in mathematics, science and reading. The Winner: Confucianism!

Shanghai topped the list in three areas far from the centers next. She also served communities with a legacy of Confucius Hallows education, three of the four centers the following, namely: Hong Kong, Singapore and South Korea. Represented, while Finland is the only country in the Confucian group.

As for the United States, came in the fifteenth in reading, and the twenty-third in science and the thirty-first in mathematics.

For more than 20 years, I visited schools in China and Asia (also sent my children to school a short period in Japan, which also carry character Confucius), and spent much of that time either envious or obsessed. Will never forget when we withdrew our child from the nursery years, a Japanese, so that we can visit the United States, and we received a form may be filled, they included a question about «the reason for the proposed visit».

And education can thrive in China and the rest of Asia because it is a top priority and we have to learn a lot from it.

It must be recognized that sat on top of the Shanghai world ranking, does not represent China as a whole; Shanghai, where it has the best schools in the country. However, it is also true that China has conducted significant improvements to the school, which was awful in the rural areas.

Twenty years ago only, the children often drop out of primary schools in rural areas. Sometimes the teachers speak Mandarin language difficulty, which is theoretically a language of instruction.

Today, learn in high school most girls and boys, even in underdeveloped rural areas. And university education has become commonplace. And improve the level of teachers tremendously. Exceeds the level of the farmers of the village children ancestors of my wife, the American of Chinese origin, a poor village in southern China, the level of my children who are studying in public schools excellent New York area, in mathematics. This seems to be broadly true for athletes across the country.

In spite of the adoption of China's socialist system does not accept the layoffs, they excelled as amazing (better than America) in dealing with incompetent teachers. Chinese principles do not allow teachers to dispense easily, but they provide additional training for teachers less efficient, and if that does not work, push them to other jobs.

She told me that headmistress of a school in the city of Xi'an, which is floating around Pei's kindergarten her «can always convert to the teachers bad teachers gymnastics». In China is not a sports hall and the importance of games in schools.

The kindergarten another aspect of China's strength is the excellent education in early childhood, and usually begins at the age of two years. The only element in the already troubled educational system is the Chinese university system. Valaeliat of the third degree; and should be a national disgrace.

But the irony is that the Chinese themselves are not fans of their system a lot in school. The more you try to conduct an interview with the Chinese on the rules here, I hear rumblings of discontent rather than praise. Complain that many Chinese that their hard kill independent thought and creativity, and envy the American system, which bred self-reliance, and seeks to make education an attractive and not just a chore.

In Xi'an, I visited the school Joshin Yishong, and perhaps the best secondary schools in the city, and spoke Pthsr students and teachers to focus on the U.S. clubs, the arts and independent thinking. The chemistry teacher Hua Johunj: «We have to encourage creativity. We must learn from American schools ».

He says a friend of Guangdong Province that he would send his children to study in the United States because the local schools «fatal to creativity». He sent his son to another international school to escape something similar b «breeding programs duplicate patterns». The spread of private schools everywhere, and boasts many of which focus on creativity.

In my opinion, the self-criticisms are right, but I'm also a great admirer of the popularity of education, and a pledge to improve the system. In spite of that William Butler Yeats was right when he said, «Education is not filling a bucket; but glows flame», it is also true that by fanning the stove be easier if there is fuel in the bucket.

And most importantly, that the greatest strength of the elements of the system lies in the Chinese reverence for education in culture Almtogl Confucianism. In China, schools, teachers have great respect, and intelligent child is one of the most widely admired, not the talker or a clown chapter.

The Americans think that China's strategic challenge is in things like the new Chinese stealth aircraft. However, the real challenge is the rise of the educational system in China and what lies behind the passion for education. We do not need to turn to Confucianism, but we can raise the profile of education on our list of priorities without losing the creativity and independent thinking.

This is what we have done in 1957 after the Soviet Union launched the Sputnik satellite. We must turn the results of this new test, to Sputnik in our twenty-first century.

Teaching methods in America

Most students attend high school or high school after completing their primary education, but some states have created middle schools for pupils between the age of ten and fourteen.

Secondary education is divided in the United States to junior secondary schools (middle / lower secondary in the Arab countries) and upper secondary (high school in some Arab countries). The students receive a diploma after the completion of each classroom.

In most communities take the two forms of education, usually high school students enrolled in micro-level of the seventh to the ninth level. Most of the graduates are heading to the small secondary school, upper secondary Viderson various decisions.

Receiving an Online Degree provides numerous advantages to education seekers who are restricted by time, resources or transportation but can still advance their career through education.

Advancing Your Career Through Online Education

Online universities and colleges and campus Universities have begun to aggressively pursue students pursuing an education. It is important to take the time to identify which of these institutions are a good fit for you. Some factors to consider include cost, degrees provided, pass/fail requirements (ie, number of exams, theses required to get your degree), attendance, book purchases, and personal attention you may need in order to maximize your education experience. If you are simply “degree shopping� for the quickest and easiest way to get an online degree to put on your resume’, you will probably look for a school that has minimal attendance requirements and is cost effective. However, if learning a skill or trait is critical, then it’s important to look deeper in to the professors, books, itinerary and other online resources that will be available so that you can effectively advance your career after you receive your online diplomas. Regardless of which school you choose, be sure to select a school that is accredited to provide an online degree, such as University of Phoenix or Capella University, as any qualified employer will do research on your internet degree to determine if it’s worth the paper it’s written on.

After you conduct your research on the various online degree colleges and universities, and choose the website that is the best fit for you, prepare yourself to buckle down, read, study and write just as you would for any school. The qualifications to be accepted are generally not as stringent as a campus college such as Penn State University, or University of Florida, but the education is certainly valuable.

There is some debate, however, about how these degrees are viewed by employers. Certainly, having internet or online degrees is better than having no degree at all, but some employers may look down upon them or confuse them with the fake diploma mills that currently exist on the internet. Be prepared in an interview to discuss what you learned in your online education, the challenges you faced and the online coursework you completed that will make you more qualified for your new career.

Vault.com, a career information website, reports that “77 percent of hiring managers say that an online degree received through an established university such as Duke or Stanford is more acceptable than a degree earned through an Internet only university like Capella or Jones International." This is a reality in the online degree landscape, but with aggressive pursuit of the fake diploma industry, online educations will soon become widely accepted and seen as a great way to move you career forward.
