This is followed by the adjusted goodness-of-fit index (AGFI) with a percentage of (83%), the goodness-of-fit index (GFI) with a percentage of (83%), the normed fit index (NFI) with a percentage of (78%), and the comparative fit index (CFI) with a percentage of (78%). The results also showed that the use of the remaining indicators is almost negligible.

Specialized accompaniment for people with special needs: Tunisia is a model

Prof. Dr. Lamyaa Yaseen Dr.Ali Musa — 2024-08-19

The aim of this paper is to study the reality of specialized support in Tunisian educational institutions, the extent of its implementation in classrooms, and the challenges it faces in improving the educational process, especially in terms of academic achievement for students with special needs. The paper also seeks to explore the relationship between specialized support and the improvement of learners' results. The research is based on the assumption that there is a connection between specialized support for students with special needs and improved outcomes.

The study relies on a quantitative approach, involving the distribution of a questionnaire to 70 teachers. The results are analyzed using Excel programming. Additionally, a qualitative method is employed through interviews with some teachers.

The findings indicate that specialized support plays a crucial role in motivating students with special needs. A high percentage of teachers, 57%, affirm that the Tunisian school system implements inclusive education programs. Moreover, a significant proportion, 67%, believe that the inclusion of students with special needs contributes to academic success..

Educational and moral values in the philosophy of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) in the psychological reform of man

Mr. Dr. Wahida Hussein Ali — 2024-08-19

Human societies need constant review to confront the human weakness that afflicts a person during his confrontation with the battlefield of life. If this confrontation does not occur between a person and himself, this leads to a major division that becomes clear over time in the form of serious psychological disorders, and the issue of psychological reform becomes difficult and the internal psychological and educational reform approach becomes apparent. For the Muslim person through the great biography of Imam Ali (peace be upon him), which the current research takes as a living and authentic model during his rule.

The difficulty of reform appears through two major trends that cannot be overlooked: -

The culture of resistance to change, which means clinging to the status quo, as nothing is possible to be more creative than it was, and this is what hangs the door to reform, especially in matters of religion and issues of ijtihad, and this is what the Imam, may God be pleased with him, confronted.
The existence of power centers that benefit from the current situation and fear development to protect their interests and for this reason. It fights reform and renewal. This is what the Imam faced as a condition for assuming the reins of power in preserving the biography of the two sheikhs. He only rejected this trend.

In order for the individual to be psychologically reformed, the following must be done:

Leadership initiative to confront existing conditions and provide guidance to society and the individual.
A culture of openness and reform.
Audience interaction.

The current research will shed light on the policy of the Imam, peace be upon him, in establishing the principles of internal psychological and educational reform for the Muslim person as a true condition for faith, as he is the true pioneer of the issue of reform and psychological and educational organization for the soul that believes in God, His Messenger, and his fragrant biography, during the period in which the Imam assumed power. The leader is the one who institutes reform. An approach to the daily life of the society he ruled, and this is what distinguished the period of the Imam’s rule, and what other rulers abandoned in general and largely in order to preserve the seat of government at the expense of truth, justice, and belief in what is right and forbidding what is wrong, which was completely far from the philosophy of their rule, which sought the world and its joys.

The research will present the most important prominent signs in the Imam’s rule, through which we seek to achieve reform and distance him from what angers God Almighty and the life of His Most Noble Prophet, through his taking completely bold steps, which are:
1-Isolating unfit governors.
Recovering the public treasury from dishonest hands.
Establishing supervision over governors and workers, and using strictness with regard to any deviation or violation.
Equality in giving among the subjects, regardless of who they represented in a previous era.

The research reached the eloquent difficulties that faced the Imam (peace be upon him) in order to achieve his principles for which he persevered despite all the thorny challenges. This is through his saying (You command me to seek victory through injustice against those over whom I have been appointed? By God, I will not improve with him what Samir has nailed and what a star in the sky has completed. If the money was Sweden’s among them, then how about the money is God’s money) and had it not been for his tremendous ability and exceptional immunity in achieving the principles of psychological and educational reform. For man to please God and achieve His principles, which he owes to man when he was able to achieve this eloquent victory despite the hardship, oppression, misunderstanding and great accusations from those around him, the results of which were the wars of the Camel, Siffin and Nahrawan. The research concluded that the Imam’s biography during his assumption of the reins of power was characterized by a great legacy and turning points. It arouses astonishment and astonishment for a great person that cannot be repeated in his treatment of the vocabulary of reform, forbidding evil, and confronting the passions and ambitions that every human being faces. Thus, he has presented to humanity (an extraordinary experience) in practicing the psychological and educational internal reform of the human being, and establishing the foundations of rational justice, as he said about it. Peace be upon you (O people, for I have continued nothing but temptation, and no one else would have dared to do so after its temptation had set in and its anger had grown strong.)

The legendary Imam provided the greatest role model for human psychological and educational reform, to the point that he sacrificed his life as the price for this eloquent approach, in his place of prayer. May God’s peace be upon him, the day he was born, the day he was martyred, and the day he will be resurrected alive.

The research attempts to present him as an effective model, despite the objective awareness of the difficulty of emulating even some of what was covered in his fragrant biography, and it is sufficient for us to present him with love, pride, and trust in God and his creation.” Hopefully, this will provide some remembrance and spark an ideal image.

Educational concepts for learning the principle of tolerance

Professor Dr. Haider Kareem Sukar — 2024-08-19

Education is considered a broad and broad field and the basis for moving towards promoting a culture of tolerance, especially in our Arab Islamic societies, and given the differences in references in developing educational curricula and their direct influence on prevailing political pressures and programmers, therefore, the issue of adopting systematic and rational methods for teaching tolerance is a necessary requirement that initially includes revealing... On the causes of intolerance as a prevailing culture that contradicts the essence of the divine religions, and then researching the roots of the culture of violence and extremism, which is the culture most hostile to the culture of tolerance, and then we show the indicators that indicate tolerance. Therefore, policies and educational programs, and at the various stages of education, starting from Kindergarten and even university urgently need to include programs that promote solidarity and understanding And also between ethnic, social, cultural, religious and linguistic groups, and between nations. Given the importance of the issue of teaching tolerance, one of the paragraphs of the United Nations Declaration of Principles indicated: “Education in the field of tolerance must aim to resist the influence of factors that lead to fear of others and their exclusion.” And to help young people develop their abilities to have independent opinion, critical thinking, and moral thinking. Hence, this research came in an attempt to study the concept of tolerance and its goals, and to identify the most important strategies that can be used in learning and teaching the concept of tolerance.

The current research aims to identify:

1 - The concept of tolerance

2 - Manifestations of tolerance and their social indicators

3-Manifestations of intolerance and its behavioral indicators

4 - The importance and importance of learning and teaching tolerance

5 - Educational strategies for learning the concept of tolerance

Education and morals according to Herbert Spencer

Nasren khalel Hussein — 2024-08-19

Spencer was famous for his ethical doctrine, which was known for (evolution and aascension). As we see him dealing with the moral phenomenon in terms of it being a phenomenon of development, as he considered morality to be a universal system subject to development, and whenever the whole develops, this is evidence of the development of the parts, and morality falls within The framework of humanity and humanity is part of this universe with its solar system and what appeared on the surface of the Earth with all its components. Therefore, it would have been better for morals to develop with the development of the beings included in this universe.

The research aimed to identify the basic principles established by Spencer in moral education, which aim to make good moral behaviour the one that develops the lives of the individual and others. This only happens by using self-education or what Spencer calls self-deterrent. The research led to Herbert Spencer applying his moral and educational views based on his evolutionary philosophy.

أ.د. هاني جرجس عياد — 2024-08-19

Many statisticians and researchers agree that determining the type of sample chosen that must be capable of giving results with a certain accuracy at the lowest possible costs or with the highest accuracy at specific costs depends on the nature of the study, the type and composition of the population from which the sample will be drawn, the method or tool used in collecting data, and the destination. The researcher looked at himself Samples can be classified on the basis of the randomness factor in selection into two main sections: The first section includes random samples, the design of which the researcher relies on probability theory in giving equal opportunities to members of the population to appear in the sample, while the second section includes intentional (non-random) samples in which The researcher's bias is evident in choosing the sample items by giving unequal opportunities to the items as a result of his intentional selection of some items and not others from the items of the population he wants to examine. Each of the two sections has multiple and diverse types of samples

Due to the increasing reliance on the use of statistical methods in analyzing research data in general and educational and psychological research in particular, and the frequent occurrence of these research errors in the use of statistical methods at a time when these methods are diverse and increasing in complexity, from here emerges the problem of the current research and its importance in that it sheds light on these errors and attempts to address them from Through its goal of identifying incorrect statistical methods used in educational and psychological research. The research sample included 30 published research papers, 20 master’s theses, and 10 doctoral dissertations for the period from (2008 to 2012). To collect the necessary data for the research, a special form was designed, and its validity was confirmed by presenting it to a number of specialists, and the descriptive analytical method was used.

Analysis of the data after calculating the frequency of statistical errors revealed that the incidence of sample selection errors ranged from 70% in theses to 93% in published research. As for the error rate in using the weighted mean, it was 100% in published research and master’s theses, and this method was not used in theses. The error in using the Likert scale is 40% in dissertations, 60% in research, and 80% in dissertations. The error rate for using the T-test for one sample was 80% in published research and 100% in dissertations and dissertations, while the error rate for using the T-test for two independent samples was 30% in research, 60% in dissertations, and 80% in dissertations. The percentage of error in using the Pearson coefficient was 15% in published research, 28% in dissertations, and 33% in dissertations, and the error percentage in using chi-square was 10% in published research and 25% in dissertations and dissertations. As for the error in using the Alpha-Cronbach equation, it was 40% in dissertations, 50% in dissertations, and 60% in published research. The Spearman-Brown corrective equation was used with an error rate of 86% in dissertations, 75% in published research, and 50% in dissertations. The results of the interaction of variables in relationship research were extracted. Although this research does not aim to measure the effect of interaction between variables. Also, in research to find effectiveness in theses and dissertations, the equation for extracting effectiveness has not been adopted, but rather the statistical procedure is limited to finding the effect only.

The current research has identified alternative statistical methods for invalid methods based on what was determined by the theoretical literature in statistics references, scientific studies published in foreign journals, and the researcher’s experience in teaching applied statistics.

وضع التعليم العربي الإسلامي في السنغال في ظل الحكومات المتعاقبة بعد الاستعمار الفرنسي

مدرس أبو كا — 2024-08-19

In general, Arab-Islamic education in Senegal has gone through several stages: from ancient books, then schools and institutes, to contemporary (modern) Qur’anic schools.

As for government schools, each of the successive governments after independence played a special role, particularly in the Arabic language and Islamic education, between development and disruption in government educational institutions.

Accordingly, this research briefly studies the situation of the Arab-Islamic education that Senegal followed before the advent of European colonialism. When the latter came, it completely removed everything related to Arabic from the administration, and tried to close Quranic schools and prevent Arabic education in government schools. Before leaving the country, he prepared his successors and established a secular Christian state in Senegal When these people assumed the leadership of the state, it was as if they had followed his (colonial) approach, even if their approaches differed. Therefore, we wonder: What is the position of the presidents of Senegal towards Arab-Islamic education with the secularization of the state? What is the position of the Senegalese people regarding Arab-Islamic education? What position does Arab-Islamic education occupy in Senegalese political systems? To answer all these questions, the research will address the status of the Arab-Islamic education that Senegal taught.
