The Impact of Hybrid Retrieval Activities via Search Engines on Enhancing Awareness of Precautionary Aspects during Educational Emergencies for Middle School Students
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic is the largest educational emergency in modern era, and the pandemic has opened the door for educational institutions to work and prepare to provide various alternatives in case of any emergency so that the educational process does not stop. With the frequency of educational emergencies after COVID-19, it is necessary to enhance students' awareness of the mechanisms and procedures for dealing with this emergency. As digital retrieval tools (textual, graphic, and video) are important tools that help in accessing multiple and diverse sources of information, the current research aimed to determine the impact of hybrid retrieval activities through search engines in enhancing awareness of precautionary aspects during educational emergencies. The research adopted the quasi-experimental method to compare the two research groups, where the experimental group is taught using hybrid retrieval activities through search engines, and the control group uses the usual method based on lectures and pamphlets. The research sample consisted of (60) middle school students, who were randomly distributed to the two research groups. Through the current research, a scale was developed to detect the level of awareness of precautionary measures, consisting of three axes, namely cognitive awareness, performance awareness, and psychological awareness, including (30) items. The results showed that the experimental group that used hybrid retrieval activities through search engines was favoured compared to the control group in terms of improving awareness levels of precautionary aspects during educational emergencies. The research recommended the need to expand the use of digital retrieval tools in educational activities within textbooks.
