1. Technology has dependably been at the front line of human education. As technology ends up
around the world, there is an expanding momentum to fuse it into education. According to
Zaki, Wook, & Ahmad (2015), the central focus of the use of technology in teaching and
learning is to attract students besides elevates the effectiveness of learning process of the
students. The use of technology in education leads to numerous benefits. For instance,
escalating access to education which can be accessed anytime and anywhere, improving the

Technology winds up all over the globe, which has reliably been in the center of human
education. In addition, people are widening their momentum to fuse technologies into
education. Zaki, Wook, & Ahmad (2015) claimed that the use of technology in teaching and
learning is intended to draw students and improve the quality of the student learning
process. The need for technology in education offers several benefits. For example, the
access to information, which could be obtained everywhere and anytime, increases the
efficiency of the teaching and learning process itself (Surjono 2015).

2. Teachers agree that it is so important to teach students higher order thinking skills (Yee et al.,
2012). According to a study by Dorgu (2016), the utilization of higher-level questions
which requires the students to incorporate and utilize different ideas level that will enhance
students’ learning that is the way to acquire knowledge or skills or attitudes towards
subjects that can cause behavioral changes.

As per (Yee et al., 2012) it is necessary to educate students higher-level thinking skills. In
addition, higher-level questions enable students to integrate and use various levels of
thought that will improve students ' learning as a means of gaining information or skills or
perceptions towards subjects that could trigger behavioral changes based on a study by

3. Linguistic gender differences are one of the topics that sociolinguists and researchers have
been addressing for a long time. Our everyday interactions with both genders show how
different men and women are from each other in their communicative styles and behaviors
(Csepes, et al., 2015). Gender difference in expressing emotions is one aspect that shows the
linguistic differences between them. Nowadays, social networking sites are a significant
part of everyday interaction.

Sociolinguists and scientists have been focusing on one of the subjects which is linguistic
differences between men and women for a long time. However according to (Csepes, et al.,
2015), our daily experiences with both groups indicate variations in their communicative
forms and behaviors. The linguistic variations between the genders are the reflection of
emotions. Currently, social networking sites are an integral aspect of daily interaction.

4. Several studies have been conducted to explore gender emotion stereotypes within different
contexts. For instance, Plant, et al. (2000) examine gender stereotypes of emotions, and
their relationship to the emotional expressions produced by both of them. The study is
conducted on 117 undergraduate students who fill two questionnaires based on Fabes and
Martin's (1991) questionnaire. The results illustrate that there are several emotions believed
to be expressed by women more often than men such as happiness, love, and surprise. On
the other hand, anger, sadness, and pride are emotions believed to be expressed more by
men.

Several experiments have been undertaken to investigate gender-emotional stereotyping in

various ways, such as examine gender stereotyping of emotions and their relationships to
the emotional reactions generated by both of them. A research based on Fabes and Martin's
(1991) survey was undertaken among 117 undergraduate students who completed two
questionnaires. The findings reveal that there are a variety of feelings assumed to be
displayed by women more frequently than men, such as joy, love and surprise. Across the
other hand, rage, sorrow, and pride are feelings thought to be more displayed by men.
