The current research aims to study "the effect of the (T.A.S.C) model on the achievement of mathematics among first-year middle school students and the development of their logical thinking skills". The research sample included 63 first-year middle school students in the second semester of the academic year 2023-2024. Al-Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib School for Boys affiliated to the General Directorate of Education in Baghdad / Karkh III was randomly selected. The students were divided into two groups: the control group, which includes Section (A), consisting of 32 students, as they were taught in the usual way, and the experimental group, which includes Section (C), consisting of 31 students, as they were taught using the (T.A.S.C) model. The researchers were keen to balance the two groups according to the following variables: chronological age, intelligence, previous knowledge, and previous achievement. The research tools were prepared from two tests: "Mathematical Achievement Test" which consists of 20 multiple-choice questions, according to the Merrill classification which includes three levels: "Remembering, Application, and Discovery". The reliability coefficient was calculated using the (Kuder-Richard) equation (RK-20), where the reliability coefficient value reached 87%. And the logical thinking skills test which consists of 20 multiple-choice questions distributed over the skills (classification, arrangement, compatibility, and association) with 5 questions for each skill. Using the same equation, a reliability coefficient of 86% was obtained. After the experiment was completed, the two tests (mathematical achievement and logical thinking skills) were applied to the control and experimental groups. After collecting the data, appropriate statistical methods were used. The results showed that the students of the experimental group who studied according to the (T.A.S.C) model outperformed the students of the experimental group in both tests (mathematical achievement and logical thinking skills test) compared to the control group. Based on these results, a number of recommendations and suggestions were presented.

غالب محمد رشيد — Sat, 25 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The research aimed to know the effect of directed on delayed retrieval among university students. The researcher used three methods of directed hinting: the organization method, the colored signals method, and the mental imagination method. Thus, he put forward four hypotheses to verify this goal. He designed an experimental design that included three experimental groups corresponding to three control groups. The test in them was after training the experimental groups on hints. The researcher also carried out experimental control procedures for the six groups, then trained the members of the experimental groups on how to use hints when reading scientific text, and left the members of the control groups without training. After that, he designed a test that included the most important information in the text. After a day of training the experimental groups, the training for each experimental group was a type of method. He trained the members of the first experimental group on the organization method, trained the members of the second experimental group on the colored signals method, and trained the members of the third experimental group on the mental imagery method. The researcher then conducted one post-test for each experimental and control group.The results of the comparisons between the three experimental groups with the three control groups indicated that there is a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups, which means that there is an effect of the hints used in delayed retrieval. After that, a comparison was made between the three experimental groups to find out if there is a preference for one of the hints over the other. The results indicated that there is no statistically significant difference between the experimental groups, which means that the three hints affected the members of the experimental groups that were trained on them at the same level.

رأس المال النفسي الايجابي وعلاقته بالذكاء الثقافي لدى الموظفين

قصي جابر ام معين — Sat, 25 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000

"Positive psychological capital is one of the basic concepts of positive organizational behavior and consists of four components: (self-efficacy, hope, optimism, and resilience). Self-efficacy can be interpreted as the belief in an individual's ability to mobilize motivations, cognitive resources, and courses of action to carry out a specific task in a given context. Hope is the possession of willpower and perseverance towards achieving one's goals, while optimism refers to the interpretive style in which an individual attributes positive events to permanent internal causes, and attributes negative events to temporary external causes. Resilience is either recovering from adversity or failure to achieve success".

Cultural difference depends on the diversity of cultural elements, and refers to the differences that appear between individuals depending on race, social and political level, gender, disability, language, religion and geographical area, since each society has a culture, cultural communities within a single society develop different cultures according to their common past, the region in which they live, the language they speak and their social and economic status, so cultural intelligence can be described as a field of intelligence that explains the differences between people in their ability to interact with other societies and different cultures within society, as individuals live with different societies and thus with different cultures together for certain reasons such as education, increasing living standards, trade, shopping and politics, so cultural intelligence has gained great importance. Note that the current research aims to identify:

1-Positive psychological capital among employees

2-Significance of differences in positive psychological capital according to gender variables (males - females) among employees

3-Cultural intelligence among employees

4- The significance of the differences in cultural intelligence among employees according to the variables of gender (males – females)

5-The correlation between positive psychological capital and cultural intelligence

To achieve the research objectives, the researcher built a positive psychological capital scale according to the theory of Dollwet & Reichard, 2013, with its final form of (16) paragraphs. The researcher also built a cultural intelligence scale according to the theory of Earley & Ang, 2003, with its final form of (18) paragraphs. After confirming the psychometric properties, they were applied to a sample of employees consisting of (232) male and female employees. The results showed the following:

1- The individuals of the research sample are characterized by a high level of positive psychological capital

2-There is a statistically significant difference between males and females in positive psychological capital, in favor of females

3- The individuals of the research sample are characterized by a high level of cultural intelligence.

4- There is a statistically significant difference between males and females in cultural intelligence, in favor of males

5-There is a direct relationship between positive psychological capital and cultural intelligence.

In light of the results achieved in the current research, the researcher came up with some recommendations and suggestions.

The current study was conducted using the descriptive method with the aim of investigating the phenomenon of cognitive closure among university students. A stratified random sample of 355 students was selected, including 198 from humanities disciplines and 157 from scientific disciplines. The researcher relied on the modified Cognitive Closure Scale, which consists of 36 items. The scale's validity was confirmed using face validity and a pilot application on 50 students, while its reliability was tested using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, which resulted in 0.87. Statistical analysis results showed that the level of cognitive closure among the sample was relatively low compared to the hypothesized level. Furthermore, significant statistical differences were found between males and females in cognitive closure levels, with male students exhibiting higher levels of cognitive closure than females; however, the difference was not large enough to significantly affect the results. A significant statistical difference was observed in favor of the humanities disciplines. The findings align with previous studies, indicating that the sample exhibited greater cognitive flexibility compared to individuals with cognitive closure. Several statistical tests, including t-tests, were employed to extract differences between groups and analyze variations across variables. The results emphasize the importance of exploring the factors contributing to cognitive closure and promoting critical thinking among students through counseling and training programs that foster intellectual openness, providing a solid foundation for future studies on the topic.

علي ثابت حسان — Sat, 25 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Celebrities The current research is to identify the strategy of intellectual balance in obtaining literary texts among students of the fourth literary grade, and to implement this, a quasi-experimental model was used.

The formula for the null hypothesis is (there is no single significant difference at the level of significance (0.05) between three candidates, three students of the experimental group who concealed the subject of literature and texts, on the accuracy of the intellectual scale strategy, and the average of the candidates of the control group who mastered the same subject on choosing the usual method of obtaining the subject. Literature and texts)

The researcher appointed an experimental design with the experimental and control groups, with a post-achievement test, and identified the students in the fourth literary grade in the General Directorate of Education of Baghdad/Al-Rusafa II as a neighborhood community, and identified the students in the fourth literary grade in (Al-Mustafa Preparatory School for Boys) as a sample representing the original community, and the sample included The research was conducted on (97 students), and statistical equivalences were conducted on a group of variables (chronological age calculated in months, previous achievement, intelligence test).

As for the research tool, it was determined by an achievement test consisting of forty objective items and ten essay items, and its psychometric properties were documented. The researcher assigned the scientific material represented by the literary topics agreed upon to be taught to students in the fourth literary grade in the academic year 2023/2024, and the researcher designed two hundred behavioral objectives. And the subsequent teaching plans for the two research groups

The experiment was carried out in the 2023/2024 academic season, and using the t-test, the researcher found that there were statistical differences in favor of the students of the experimental group.

The researcher concludes from this that there is cognitive and intellectual interaction as a result of the application of the intellectual balance strategy, and recommends the necessity of training Arabic language teachers, male and female, to use modern strategies in teaching, especially the intellectual balance strategy, and suggests building and applying other studies in multiple variables such as literary analysis and reading comprehension.
