Cognitive Creativity in the Clutches of Artificial Intelligence: Critical Educational and Psychological Readings
type: item
description: This theoretical study explores the relationship between human creativity and artificial intelligence within contemporary intellectual and educational discourse. It critically examines how the increasing integration of artificial intelligence into creative and cognitive processes may reshape the nature of creativity itself. Drawing on classical and modern theories of creativity in psychology and education, the study conceptualizes creativity as a multidimensional human capacity grounded in cognitive flexibility, lived experience, emotional intelligence, and ethical judgment. The analysis highlights concerns that excessive reliance on artificial intelligence may constrain creative autonomy, encourage cognitive passivity, and promote standardized patterns of thought and production. Rather than viewing artificial intelligence solely as a technological advancement, the study frames it as a transformative epistemic agent that challenges traditional understandings of human originality and innovation. The study argues that while artificial intelligence can support creative activity, it should not replace the reflective, critical, and experiential dimensions that define human creativity. It concludes by emphasizing the necessity of a human-centered theoretical framework that safeguards creativity as a fundamentally human attribute in the age of intelligent automation.

The findings indicate that generative artificial intelligence can support deep learning and enhance analytical and reasoning skills when appropriately integrated into educational practices. However, excessive or unregulated reliance on these models may undermine authentic learning and reduce students’ independent cognitive effort. The study emphasizes the need to redefine the role of the university instructor as a facilitator of learning and an ethical and cognitive guide for the responsible use of generative artificial intelligence, in order to preserve academic values and ensure the quality of higher education.

The Effectiveness of a Self-Empowerment Opportunities Program in Reducing Anxiety Symptoms and Mindfulness Among Preparatory School Students
type: item
description: This study aimed to identify the effectiveness of a self-empowerment opportunities program in reducing anxiety symptoms and mindfulness among preparatory school students in Baghdad. To achieve this aim, a self-empowerment opportunities program was designed to reduce anxiety symptoms and increase mindfulness, based on Bandura's social learning theory. Using the General Anxiety and Mindfulness Scales, and employing an experimental design with a stratified random sample of 400 students from secondary schools in Baghdad, 60 students were identified as exhibiting low levels of mindfulness and high levels of anxiety based on their responses to the scales. These 60 students were divided into two groups: an experimental group (which participated in the Empowerment Opportunities Building Program) and a control group that did not participate in the experiment. After confirming the equivalence of the two groups, the program was implemented with the experimental group. The study results indicated the effectiveness of the Empowerment Opportunities Building Program in reducing anxiety symptoms and increasing mindfulness. The research recommends training educational counselors and teachers on empowerment strategies and mindfulness development to ensure the effective implementation of these programs within the school environment.

type: item
description: This study aims to explore the relationship between mastery motivation and resonant leadership among heads of academic departments at the University of Baghdad. The researcher adopted a descriptive correlational approach and developed two instruments: a Mastery Motivation Scale consisting of 30 items across five dimensions (cognitive persistence, behavioral persistence, enjoyment of mastery, negative reactions to failure, and general competence), and a Resonant Leadership Scale also comprising 30 items distributed over five dimensions (visionary leadership, coaching, affiliative leadership, democratic leadership, and emotional intelligence with human relations). The instruments were administered to a sample of 100 department heads selected from various colleges within the university. The findings revealed high levels of both mastery motivation and resonant leadership. A strong positive correlation was found between the two variables, while no statistically significant differences were observed based on gender. The results were interpreted in light of relevant theories and previous studies, and the research concluded with recommendations to enhance leadership development and intrinsic motivation in academic settings.

Using artificial intelligence applications in preparing visual teaching aids for physics lessons
type: item
description: The current research aims to utilize artificial intelligence applications in developing visual teaching aids, such as images or diagrams, for physics lessons within the curriculum. Based on previous studies and the researcher's teaching experience, it was found that obtaining or developing visual teaching aids for physics lessons is challenging. This was also evident in the results of a preliminary survey conducted by the researcher, which included several expert teachers with advanced degrees in physics or physics teaching methodologies. The researcher experimented with several artificial intelligence applications to develop a set of visual teaching aids for various topics in the sixth-grade physics curriculum. A method for developing these aids was developed using generative language modeling (GLM), a simple and straightforward approach implemented through the Gemini application. After generating the aids, they were reviewed by experts to ensure their suitability and effectiveness for the intended learning objectives. After consulting with experts, the researcher concluded that the AI-generated visual learning aids are sound, easy to prepare, and suitable for use in schools. However, they require linguistic review when using Arabic, necessitating minor text editing using image editing software. The researcher recommended using AI applications in developing visual learning aids for physics lessons.

Effective teaching methods among university students
type: item
description: Teachers can employ some effective teaching strategies in the teaching-learning process, which students interact with to develop and enhance their cognitive structures and enhance their learning experiences and skills. Therefore, effective teaching strategies are the first seed through which teachers can move to create appropriate conditions that enhance teachers' experience and enhance their learning.Students' motivations, educational desires, and academic achievement (Azzi, 2014). However, the use of effective teaching strategies faces numerous obstacles and impediments, which prevent teachers from practicing them. This negatively impacts the teaching process in the classroom, and these fields are interconnected with each other, which negatively affects classroom teaching and the achievement of the goals of the teaching and learning process (Mansour, 2016). At the end of the research, we addressed in the first chapter the methodology Which represents the research problem, research objectives, and importance of the research. In the second chapter, we also addressed the theoretical framework, effective teaching strategies, and the method and procedures of the study methodology.

. Levels of Human Consciousness: An Introduction to Understanding Psychological Transformation.. A Theoretical Study
type: item
description: No doubt, understanding consciousness contributes to improving mental health and treating cognitive disorders. Since an individual's consciousness is formed from psychological and mental structures, as well as the fundamental cultural elements of society, it represents a collection of perceptions and ideas. It also possesses the capacity to generate and construct new ideas, desires, and goals. These structures are logical and interconnected, although their connections are complex and dynamic. Human beings live in two worlds: the world of objects and the world of symbols. The world of objects comprises the material reality created by both nature and human beings, forming the physical foundation of our existence. In contrast, the world of symbols is characterized by a far greater degree of diversity and complexity This study addresses a cognitive question concerning the levels of human consciousness. In response to this inquiry, it reviews a cognitive-psychological theory that proposes seventeen levels of consciousness and explains the characteristics of each level. The study concludes with a set of key findings.
