2025-04-24T11:47:56+00:00

The research seeks to reveal the effectiveness of a proposed strategy according to (Seigler's) theory in developing the comprehension of biological concepts and scientific identity among students of the College of Basic Education. The research was conducted on a sample of (80) male and female students divided into two experimental groups of (39) male and female students and the other control group of (41) male and female students. In light of the nature of the research, it was possible to determine the experimental design of the research by designing the experimental and control group with pre- and post-measurements. The two research tools were prepared: the first is a test of comprehension of biological concepts consisting of (40) multiple-choice paragraphs after analyzing the biological concepts in the academic content of the general biology subject, which included (10) concepts with four levels for each concept, namely (clarification, interpretation, application, and perspective-taking). The second tool is the scientific identity scale consisting of five dimensions. The results indicated the effectiveness of the proposed strategy according to (Seigler's) theory in developing the comprehension of biological concepts and scientific identity.

Though, for these types of challenges, the results of baring of exposure authentic English contexts and forms of writing practice have not appeared properly at their best. This case study evaluates the general effectiveness of using ChatGPT and Grammarly, which are AI-based writing assistants, for the English as Foreign Language Iraqi undergraduate students to improve academic writing. The study was carried out on 30 second-year students in the Department of English and involved a semester-long program on the use of ChatGPT, such as for idea generation and text expansion and feedback improving, and Grammarly to correct grammar and improve style. As to research methodology, this combined both quantitative and qualitative methods where pre- and post-tests were administered with a student survey and instructor interviews to examine the improvement of coherence, cohesion, grammatical accuracy, and academic style. Results indicate students improved considerably in composing structured writing of their essays-stringent grammar errors, and they are developing a more formal academic tone. Qualitative feedback also highlighted other new trends, such as the rise of student confidence and autonomy in writing. However, several adverse influences have been given, such as overreliance on the generation of AI-written content and failure in critical engagement with the feedback. Importantly, the findings indicated that AI tools could be supplementary supplementary materials for Iraqi EFL learners to be applied with direct writing instructions and critical thought strategies. This research contribution would supplement the increasing work done on AI-assisted language learning, with the additional dimension of applicability added for EFL teachers in Iraq, looking for novel ways to improve academic writing proficiency in students.

Its validity was confirmed and it was presented to a group of experts and arbitrators for reliability. The researcher adopted the split-half method; The difficulty level of the paragraphs, the discrimination coefficient, and the effectiveness of the wrong alternatives were calculated. At the end of the experiment, which lasted for a full semester, which is the first semester of the academic year (2021-2022 AD), and in light of the data, the results showed that the students of the two experimental research groups outperformed the control group. In light of the results, the researcher proposed a number of recommendations, including adopting the strategies of “Your Questions and My Answers” and “The Learning Cell” in teaching as one of the strategies that contribute to achieving the goals of teaching the subject of literature and texts, as well as the proposals, including preparing a comparative study between the strategies of “Your Questions and My Answers” and “The Learning Cell” and modern teaching methods derived from active learning to know the difference between them.

Taqiyya in Islam and its Evidence in the Holy Qur'an and Sunnah

2025-03-14T17:46:50+00:00

This research aims to provide a comprehensive study introducing the concept of taqiya, particularly from the perspective of the Shia Imami school, with the goal of clarifying its true meaning and dispelling any confusion surrounding it. The study also seeks to address the attempts to exploit this concept in a way that undermines the unity of Muslims. Additionally, it highlights that the intellectual discourse has gone through multiple stages of development, during which politics and political conflict, along with misunderstandings, have influenced the manipulation of religious concepts to serve the ruling power at the expense of the opposition, regardless of scientific or jurisprudential standards. Among these concepts that have been distorted due to political expediency is the principle of taqiya.

This research emphasizes the importance of understanding taqiya as a fundamental means of protecting individuals from risks or threats to their life or honor, permissible only in cases of necessity and under the condition that its use does not lead to the corruption of religion or harm to society. Taqiya is not merely a temporary legislation but a core Islamic principle that emerged during the period of Islamic propagation, with its roots in the Quran and Hadith. The human need for it has been evident throughout history, and the Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) adopted this principle in response to unjust policies and deviations from the Quranic method and its values. Taqiya is not a Shiite innovation, as some may assume, but an integral part of the Islamic heritage. The practice of taqiya serves multiple objectives: it protects the soul from destruction, provides steadfastness in the face of falsehood, embodies courage and wisdom, offers a sense of security, and preserves Muslim unity. Furthermore, its proper application is considered an act of obedience to Allah, the Almighty

2025-06-09T21:36:15+00:00

The researcher defined the research problem with the main question:
"What is the role of Iraqi satellite channels in shaping public attitudes toward the 2023-2024 Gaza War?"

The research community was defined as students from the universities of Maysan Governorate (Maysan - Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) - Al-Manara - and the two colleges of Imam al-Kadhim (peace be upon him) University and Al-Amara University). The purposive research sample was defined as (250) university students, equally divided between males and females, and equally divided between scientific and humanities disciplines. This research is descriptive in nature, employing a field survey approach. The research tools were defined as two questionnaires for demographic information and exposure, and a three-dimensional scale form for measuring attitude formation. Three hypotheses were also identified, derived from media dependency theory and its main hypotheses. The time frame was set as October 2024 to measure the period from October 2023 to October 2024.

The researcher reached several results, most notably:

. The "mostly" category emerged as the first category in the axis of exposure to watching the events of the Gaza war on Iraqi satellite news channels.
. The "watching for an hour" category emerged as the first category in the axis of exposure to watching the events of the Gaza war on Iraqi satellite news channels.
. The first research hypothesis is confirmed (satellite channels contribute to shaping audience attitudes and prioritizing their views by providing them with new information and details).
. The second research hypothesis is confirmed (media works to attract audiences by presenting their issues in emotional, interactive ways to influence them in one way or another).
The third research hypothesis is confirmed (satellite channels' focus on specific issues leads to audience engagement with them, which then leads to behavioral positions on the ground).
