The problem of juvenile delinquency is one of the problems that have been experienced by developing and advanced societies and which has received the attention of specialists in psychology, sociology and education, as juvenile delinquents are at a stage that represents the most dangerous age stages and constitute a disruptive force for work and production.
Deviance is a form of abnormal behavior issued by the juvenile due to his poor compatibility as a result of factors that prevent the proper satisfaction of his needs due to weak ties between members of the same family and weak religious restraint and the poverty of the family and its inability to meet the requirements of children and adolescents, which made them practice behaviors that are not in harmony with the traditions of society such as theft, escape and homelessness. This calls for work to protect juveniles by social, educational and media institutions responsible for public security, including mosques and charitable societies, to educate parents and children to adhere to good morals such as cooperation and patience and to spread an atmosphere of familiarity among family members to keep children away from deviance.
The family has a role in protecting juveniles from delinquency, in addition to the role of teachers and curricula in its programs, as well as organizing television programs to raise awareness and focus on rehabilitating juveniles in social care homes and outside them.

The problem of the current research was defined by answering a main question: Is it possible to build a training and guidance program that helps reduce social compliance among children with speech disorders? The importance of the current research was defined by a number of points, the most important of which are: "It is the first research - to the best of the researchers' knowledge - that addresses the phenomenon of social compliance among children with speech disorders in Iraq and the Arab world through a training and guidance program that aims to reduce the level of this phenomenon among them. The limits of the current research were summarized as "building the training guidance program based on Asch's definition and theory of social compliance. The researchers provided theoretical and procedural definitions for each of the research variables, the first of which is the procedural definition of the training and guidance program, which is: "Short lessons that include ideas and guiding principles that aim to reduce social compliance among children with speech disorders." And the procedural definition of social compliance specific to the current research; This is the definition that was the basis for building the training program to reduce the level of social compliance in children with speech disorders. It is Asch’s definition: “The tendency of individuals to conform to the views of the majority when faced with group pressures or great risks. Under these circumstances, people tend to rely less on their convictions and evaluations, and rely more on the beliefs and judgments of the group, even if the majority opinion is incorrect.” The operational definition of children with speech disorders: “They are children officially diagnosed by the Ministry of Education with one or more speech disorders and their ages range from 7-11 years.” In the second chapter, the researchers presented the principles of learning theories in training, theories of social compliance, and an overview of speech disorders. In the third chapter, they presented the procedures for building the guidance program. At the end of the research, the researchers presented a number of recommendations, including “a recommendation to implement the program in schools to reduce negative social compliance among children with speech disorders.” They presented a number of proposals, including “verifying the effectiveness of the program in reducing social compliance among children with speech disorders.” At the end of the chapter, they presented a list of sources and appendices that included a list of the names of the arbitrators (Appendix 1) and the lessons of the research program (Appendix 2).

Some communities are subject to many incidents resulting from violence, political conflicts and religious differences. Hence, the current research problem is crystallized by the fact that the researcher is aware of the fact that our contemporary life is full of unpleasant events, psychological pressures and contradictions that have affected the various segments of the society, including middle school students, thus introducing them to social and cognitive challenges. Because they will practice the practical life, both in their achievements in school or enrollment in undergraduate studies and thus came the current research to identify the self-patch and its relationship to cognitive distortions and the search to the existence of a relationship between the self Patch and cognitive distortions.

The current research aimed to identify evaluative thinking among adolescents, and to identify the significance of differences in evaluative thinking among adolescents according to the age variable ("13-14", "15-16", "17-18") years, and according to the gender variable. The research sample consisted of (180) adolescents. To achieve the research objectives, a evaluative thinking scale consisting of (24) paragraphs was prepared, and the apparent validity and reliability of the research tool were verified, as the Pearson correlation coefficient reached between (0.93-0.39), and the reliability coefficient was also calculated using the internal consistency method according to the Cronbach alpha equation, if it reached (0.97). The researchers concluded that: The age groups ("13-14", "15-16", "17-18") years are characterized by the evaluative thinking pattern. Evaluative thinking takes a developmental path across ages ("13-14", "15-16", "17-18") and takes a continuous form in line with cognitive developmental theories. The results showed that there were no statistically significant differences attributable to the effect of gender on evaluative thinking in the research sample.

In this article ,the researcher tried to shed light on mathematics since the formation of ancient civilizations and how to use them and use them in simple life since ancient times and link them to the development and acceleratinn that prevails in the world in all fields and ,the most prominent of these fields is mathematics and a link to the faces of modernity of all sciences .

The current study aimed to reveal the reality of including tourism concepts in social studies books for the primary stage in Iraq. The researchers followed the descriptive approach using the content analysis method to achieve this goal. A content analysis questionnaire was prepared that included a list of tourism concepts that should be included in social studies books for the primary stage, which consisted of (25) concepts. The study sample consisted of three social studies books taught in the primary stage, namely (the social studies book for the fourth primary grade, the fifth primary grade, and the sixth primary grade). The study concluded that (9) concepts were available out of (25) tourism concepts in the social studies books for the primary stage, representing (36%). The percentage of the social studies book for the fourth grade was (44%), the percentage of the social studies book for the fifth primary grade was (48%), while the percentage of the social studies book for the sixth primary grade was (40%). The results showed that (3) concepts out of (25) concepts, representing (12%) of the tourism concepts, were included very little in the social studies books for the primary stage, The two researchers concluded that the social studies books for the primary stage need to include tourism concepts, as they are not sufficient and need to include other tourism concepts such as (airports - waterfalls - festivals - museums - nature reserves). The two researchers recommended that the committees responsible for writing the books should pay attention to the necessity of including tourism concepts in social studies books in a balanced manner and focus on including tourism concepts in social studies books for the primary stage. The two researchers suggested conducting a study similar to the current study on geography books in the preparatory stage to determine the extent to which tourism concepts are included in their content.

Here’s the translation of the updated text into English: "In recent years, our society has witnessed a noticeable increase in the rates of drug abuse and trafficking crimes among women, and this research aims to study this phenomenon and its impact on societal security. Although previous studies have primarily focused on youth or men, women have become an essential part of this phenomenon, which increasingly affects their lives. Despite the rise in drug abuse among women, studies on this topic remain limited and often focus on male addicts. The impact of this phenomenon on women is more dangerous than its impact on men, as it causes greater negative repercussions for individuals and society as a whole.
This research, titled 'Drugs and Their Use Among Women,' aims to identify the reasons that drive women to abuse drugs and commit related crimes. Several key questions were raised regarding the social and economic factors that contribute to the spread of this phenomenon, as well as the effects of media, family pressures, and the psychological and health impacts on women compared to men.

Teaching methods play a major role in developing learners’ cognitive acquisition, and the experiment method is considered one of these effective methods that contribute to enhancing understanding and active learning. Here are some points about the experiment method as a teaching method and its role in developing knowledge acquisition. The experiment method depends on applying knowledge through practical activities and actual experiences.
Which helps learners acquire skills and knowledge in a direct way. The importance of the active interaction experiment method is that it encourages learners to interact with the educational material effectively, which enhances their understanding, interest, and application of knowledge. It gives learners the opportunity to apply what they have learned in realistic contexts, which facilitates the learning process and makes it more consolidated and role-playing.
Experiment method for gaining knowledge and enhancing deep understanding. Practical experiments help consolidate concepts in the learner’s mind, leading to a deeper understanding of topics and developing skills. They contribute to developing students’ critical thinking and analytical skills, which enhances their ability to solve problems and enhance learning.
Self-learning enhances learners' ability to take initiative and learn independently, which increases their ability to research, discover and have practical applications. The experiment method can be applied in multiple fields, such as science and technology, by conducting laboratory experiments aimed at understanding natural phenomena and in the arts.Using Experiments to Express Ideas and Topics in a Concrete Form Challenges The experiment method may face some challenges, such as the need for additional resources, or the time required to carry out the experiments effectively.
Thus, the experiment method is a distinct model in teaching methods, as it plays an essential role in developing knowledge acquisition, by promoting active learning and developing the skills required for success in multiple fields.

The current research aims to identify (the effect of the Fielder and Silverman model in developing openness to experience among students of the Institute of Fine Arts in the subject of educational psychology) , The researchers adopted the experimental design with partial control with two equivalent experimental and control groups, to suit the conditions of the current research, as the researchers intentionally chose first-year students at the Institute of Fine Arts in Tikrit for the academic year (2024-2025), which included two sections, Section (A) (33) students represented the experimental group that studied with the Fielder and Silverman model, and Section (B) (34) students represented the control group that studied in the usual way.Before starting the experiment, the researchers were keen to ensure that the students of the two research groups were statistically equal in a number of variables that are believed to affect the safety of the experiment. These variables are: (the students' chronological age calculated in months, the "Raven" intelligence test, and the pre-test scores on the openness to experience scale). The researchers identified the educational material to be taught, which included the first three chapters of the educational psychology book for the first grade. In light of the content, the researchers prepared behavioral objectives within three levels. The researchers also prepared (16) model teaching plans for both groups. The researchers adopted a scale to measure the variable of their research, which is the openness to experience scale, and it may have been in its final form of (39) paragraphs distributed over six areas, and its validity, reliability, and distinction were verified. The researchers taught both groups themselves, with two lessons per week for each group for the period from (9/30/2024 - 12/26/2024). After completing the experiment, the researchers applied the research tool (the post-scale of openness to experience) to the two research groups. After collecting the results, the data were processed using appropriate statistical methods and the following results appeared: -
- There is a statistically significant difference at the level of (0.05) between the average scores of the students of the experimental group and the average scores of the control group in the post-scale of openness to experience in favor of the experimental group.
- There is a statistically significant difference at the level of significance (0.05) in the average differences between the scores of the students of the experimental group in the pre- and post-test on openness to experience in favor of the post-test, which means that there is development in openness to experience among the students of the experimental group.
- In light of the results, the researchers reached a number of conclusions, recommendations and suggestions.

The current research aims to identify positive confrontation and personal flexibility among educational counselors, define the significance of the differences between the gender variable, and identify the relationship between positive confrontation and psychological flexibility. Therefore, the (Al-Khafaji, 2022) scale was determined for the concept of positive confrontation to determine Seligman's definition of the scale. 24 paragraphs are distributed into three and in front of each specific 5 differs differently for the Likert relationship scale (always, also, never, rarely) and the weights are (5, 4, 3, 2, 1), but the concept of personality was translated into the scale according to (2015 Taormina) consisting of (20) paragraphs distributed into four dimensions and in front of each paragraph 5 completely unspecified distance for the Likert scale and in front of each paragraph (5) alternative according to the Likert scale is (5 differ, 4 does not differ, delayed for a period of time 3, reject 2, reject 1), and the results of the research were extracted from the scale on (350) male and female counselors. The results are that the counselors Educators note the positive confrontation and personal flexibility, and there are statistically significant differences according to the gender variable in positive confrontation, in favor of females. In light of this, the research reached a set of recommendations and proposals.

The researcher followed the experimental design consisting of two groups, one experimental and the other control. The researcher chose the fifth literary female students in the preparatory schools in Salah al-Din Governorate. The choice fell intentionally on the Al-Elm Girls School to be an experimental group studying using the SWOM strategy and the control group studying in the usual way. The researcher was keen, before starting the experiment, to make the two research groups statistically equivalent in a number of variables Which is believed to affect the integrity of the experiment. The researcher identified the educational material to be taught, which is the Arabic grammar book for the fifth literary grade. The researcher also prepared model teaching plans for both groups. The research tool was the grammatical concepts acquisition test, which included (33) multiple-choice test items that measure the three processes of concept acquisition. Its validity, reliability and strength were confirmed The second tool was a test of questioning thinking, which in its final form consisted of (30) paragraphs, and the validity and reliability of this test were calculated. The researcher applied the two research tools (the post-test of acquiring the grammatical concept and the pre- and post-test of questioning thinking) to the two research groups, and after collecting and processing the data statistically using the t-test for two independent samples, the results showed the following- There is a statistically significant difference at the level (0.05) between the average scores of the experimental group studying Arabic grammar according to the SWOM strategy and in the test of acquiring the grammatical concept in favor of the experimental group. And in the post-questioning thinking test in favor of the experimental group and in the pre- and post-test of questioning thinking in favor of the post-test. In light of the research results, the researcher recommended a number of recommendations, including The researcher reached a number of conclusions, including the possibility of applying the SWOM strategy to fifth-grade literary students. The researcher also recommended the necessity of providing teachers with a book that includes all modern teaching methods, including the SWOM strategy, so that the teacher can choose the method that suits him. In continuation of the current research, the researcher suggested conducting several future studies, including conducting a study to identify the effectiveness of the SWOM strategy in the achievement of female students of colleges of education in grammar and developing their

The current research aims to identify "the effect of using the numbered heads strategy on the achievement of fifth-grade literary students in the subject of philosophy and psychology." To achieve the research objective, the following null hypothesis was formulated: "There is no statistically significant difference at the significance level (0.05) between the average scores of students in the experimental group who study using the numbered heads strategy, and the average scores of students in the control group who study using the traditional method in the final achievement test." The research was conducted on fifth-grade literary students in the subject of Principles of Philosophy and Psychology, where the sample was divided into two groups: experimental and control. Equivalences were made for a number of variables, including the test of prior knowledge in the subject of Principles of Philosophy and Psychology, intelligence, and the chronological age of the students, for the first semester of the academic year (2024-2025 AD). The experimental group was studied using the numbered heads strategy, with the number of students in it amounting to (34) students, while the number of students in the control group amounted to (32) students, who were taught using the traditional method. The research requirements were prepared, including defining the scientific material, formulating behavioral objectives, and developing daily teaching plans for students in both groups (experimental and control). The research tools included an achievement test in philosophy and psychology. The test consisted of (40) items, and its reliability and psychometric properties were determined. The researcher applied the research tools after completing the research experiment. The research results were extracted after the experiment was completed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS 26) program. The results showed that students in the experimental group who studied using the numbered heads strategy outperformed students in the achievement test in the Principles of Philosophy and Psychology subject.

The current research seeks to clarify the mental image of the teacher as presented by the Iraqi educational channel from the point of view of the students (a field study on a sample of sixth preparatory students).

This study aims to explore the relationship between subjective vitality and academic self-motivation among secondary school students, emphasizing the crucial role of psychological factors in enhancing academic performance. Subjective vitality is considered an indicator of an individual's psychological and physical energy levels, while academic self-motivation reflects a student's ability to independently regulate their learning behavior to achieve educational goals. The study adopted a quantitative analytical approach, utilizing standardized measurement tools to assess both subjective vitality and academic self-motivation among a selected sample of secondary school students. The findings revealed a statistically significant positive relationship between the two variables, indicating that students with higher levels of subjective vitality tend to exhibit greater academic self-motivation, which in turn enhances their ability to achieve academic success and excellence.

Reading comprehension is a very important skill. Teachers can use metacognitive strategies to develop university students' reading comprehension skill. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of metacognitive strategies on university students’ reading comprehension skill. For this, 60 university students participated in the study. They were randomly selected to form an experimental group and a control group. To test reading ability, all 60 students took the TOEFL reading test with a reliability factor of 0.80. The experimental group was instructed in metacognitive strategies to promote their reading comprehension skill, and the control group received non-metacognitive strategy procedure for their reading comprehension skill. The post-test results showed that participants in the experimental group performed better than those in the control group. Therefore, it should be noted that metacognitive strategies have a significant impact on university students’ reading comprehension skill.
