Abstract


The current study aims to determine how the interactions between practice (distributed/focused) and mental capacity (high/low) in the cloud-computing environment (CCE) affect the development of reproductive health skills and cognitive absorption. The study employed an experimental design, and it included a categorical variable for mental capacity (low/high) and an independent variable with two types of activities (distributed/focused). The research sample consisted of 240 students from the College of Science and College of Applied Medical Sciences at the University of Hail's. The sample was divided into four experimental groups. The study's most significant findings were the CCE's apparent favoritism of the group that studied using focused practice style and high mental capacity in the reproductive health skills test, as opposed to distributed practice style and low mental capacity in cognitive absorption. The findings will add to the ongoing debate over which of the two distributed/focused practice activity models is more effective in achieving desired educational results
