Imperatives of Pedagogical Update for Mathematics Education: The Digital Technology Sensibility in a Resilient Professionals World (Published)
This research examined the imperatives of pedagogical updates for Mathematics education professionals: The digital technology sensibility in a resilient word. What informed this research is the need for considering better ways of impacting mathematical knowledge and skills in students as the usages of Mathematics are geometrically increasing in this world of Technological advancement. Quasi- experimental research of pretest, posttest control group design was adopted. Multi-stage sampling technique was adopted in the selection of samples for the study. 101 Senior Secondary School II (SSSII) students were purposively selected as sample for the study base on access to smart phones/computer. Three null hypotheses were generated. Mathematics Performance Test (MPT) was the instrument used to collect data. The reliability of the instrument was calculated using Pearson Moment Correlation Analysis. ϒ=0.88 was obtained which showed that the instrument was good enough for the study. Pre and post tests were conducted and Data collected were analysed using t-test and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). The results obtained showed that the use of WhatsApp (treatment) has positive effects on students’ performance in Mathematics. Hence, it was recommended that WhatsApp as a means of communication in Social Media could be employed in the teaching and learning of Mathematics for better performance.

“Hail University Students’ Attitudes Towards the Use of Electronic Communication to Enrich the Field Training Program and Solving Some of Its Problems (Published)
The study aimed to detect Hail University students’ attitudes towards use electronic communication to enrich the field training program and solving some of its Problems, at second semester (2016/2017). The intentional sample consisted of (35) students. To achieve the goals, researcher developed a questionnaire consisted of (33) items. The reliability and stability has been verified. The results showed the effectiveness of electronic communication used in solving some of the problems of field training program, and showed positive trends among respondents about the use of electronic communication in the field training program. Finally, in light of these finding some recommendations were stated
