The Effectiveness of a Cognitive Flexibility Theory – Based Training Program in Developing Some Productive – Mind Habits of Female Student Teachers and Their Preferable Learning Styles

The study sought to determine the effectiveness of a training program based on the theory of cognitive flexibility in developing some habits of productive mind and preferred learning methods among female student teachers, by identifying the level of habits of mind necessary for female student teachers in kindergartens and their preferred learning methods, and determining the procedures of the training program based on the theory of cognitive flexibility. To study its effectiveness in developing some habits of the productive mind and to know the percentage of the contribution of the habits of the productive mind to their preferred learning methods, so the study followed the quasi-experimental approach by designing two equal groups (control and experimental), by preparing a scale of the sixteen habits of the productive mind according to Costa & Kallick’s list. (2009) and a measure of productive mind habits necessary for female kindergarten students, and applying Felder and Silverman’s preferred learning styles scale (Index of learning style, 1999), on a purposive sample consisting of (46) female kindergarten students from the third year because they are in the intermediate learning stage according to the theory. Cognitive flexibility, as the sample represents 20% of the research population, and the results of the study revealed a low level of six habits of the productive mind in the sample: perseverance, control of recklessness, flexibility of thinking, creativity, continuous learning, and striving for accuracy. The sample’s learning preferences also varied between... Methods of processing, perception, input and thinking. The results showed the effectiveness of the training program based on the theory of cognitive flexibility in developing the necessary productive mind habits for kindergarten students. The results also revealed the contribution of productive mind habits to preferences for learning methods, as the habits of the productive mind individually predict preferred learning methods in proportion. It ranges from 31% to 64% in the post-measurement, and the six habits of the productive mind contribute together over time, as they predict preferred learning methods by rates ranging from 18% to 63.8%, with the exception of the processing style, of which the creativity habit predicted 34%. Some Recommendations in light of these results.

The Degree of Female Students’ Use of Some Habits of the Productive Mind in College of Education at Al-Baath University

The aim of the current research is to know the degree to which the students of the Kindergarten Department in the College of Education at Al-Baath University use some habits of the productive mind, and to reveal the significance of the differences between the average responses of female students on the scale of productive mind habits according to the variable of the school year, so the research followed the descriptive approach, by preparing a scale of habits of mind. The Productive Mind, which included seven mental habits selected from Costa and Calick's list (Costa & Calick, 2009), and its application to a random sample of (401) female teachers distributed over the four school years, representing 45% of the original research community. The results of the research revealed that female students in the first year used the habits of the productive mind at a slightly low degree with an average of (2.0158) and a percentage (40.31%), while the degree of use of the second year students of the habits of a productive mind was medium with an average of (2.696) and a percentage (53.92%), as well as the degree of The third year students’ use of the habits of the productive mind is medium with an average of (3,100) and the percentage (62%), as well as the degree of use of the fourth year students with an average of (3.328) and the percentage (66.56%). The productive mind according to the variable of the school year, where the value of P (17,524) came with a probability value (0.000) less than 0.05, and the (LSD) test showed the direction of differences in favor of the second, third and fourth year students.

The Effect of Irrigation with Sulfuric Saline Water on Some Majer Soil Properties and Productivity of Maize Crop

The research was conducted in order to study the effect of irrigation with sulfuric saline water on some major soil properties and maize production The flood irrigation process was carried out with four treatments: Treatment of witness was irrigated with fresh water, treatment No. (1) was irrigated with sulfuric saline water according to the standardized maize irrigation, and treatment No. (2) was also irrigated with salty sulfur water standardized for maize irrigation + 20% washing rate, and treatment No. (3) was irrigated with water Sulfur saline according to maize irrigation standard + 30% washing rate,The results of the study showed that there was a slight significant difference between the four treatments in terms of the apparent and real density, while there were clear significant differences between the treatments in terms of ESP%, EC and carbonates with depth, and this was the result of washing salts with the excess amount of irrigation water used for washing. The results also show that treatment No. (3) was the best of germination percentage and productivity, while treatment No. (1) achieved the lowest germination and productivity(Fresh maize cobs yield with wrappers) , as the readings were as follows: The percentage of germination in the witness was 95%, in treatment (1) 90%, and in treatment (2) 95% and in treatment (3) 97%, while the productivity was in the witness 32.4 tons / ha and in treatment (1) 30.25 tons / ha and in treatment (2) 33.6 tons / ha and in treatment (3) 39.037 tons / ha. This indicates that irrigation with sulfuric saline water according to (water ration for maize + 30% washing) achieved the best results, as the economic feasibility of using sulfuric saline water was achieved by obtaining good production, providing fresh water and preserving the major properties of the soil.

Improving the Performance of Proactive Protocols in Manets Networks Using Artificial Intelligence Algorithms

Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs) are infrastructure-less networks that are rapidly deployable and self-configuring and do not need central support. MANETs consist of a group of mobile nodes that act either as a router or as a host. Nodes in these network move rapidly and randomly, causing a continuous change in network topology. The routing in the network and choosing the best path between nodes are major issues that attract the attention of researchers in the field of mobile networks, because of the importance of the routing process and its impact on network performance. This paper focuses on improving the performance of the proactive OLSR protocol in order to choose the best routing path that achieves the least time delay in the network, secures the best packet delivery rate and ensures reducing packet loss during the transmission process. The ant colony algorithm was used to choose the best path based on two main factors , namely the path length and the occupancy of the nodes within the path. Our simulation scenarios are built using NS2.35 to test the performance of the improved protocol in terms of increasing the number of nodes in the network and increasing the speed of nodes in the network. The test results show a reduction in the time delay in the network and an increase in the packet delivery rate.

The Seller's Obligation To Deliver The Goods In The Maritime Sales Contract Fob

One of the most important marine sales, and the most dealing with international trade contracts, is the FOB sales contract, which is the delivery on board the ship, and it is no secret that the obligations of this contract are the responsibility of both the seller and the buyer, both. The most important obligations of the seller in the case of selling the goods under the FOB contract, the obligation to deliver the goods, as the seller, once he delivered them on board the ship, transfers the ownership of the goods to the buyer, and accordingly moves accordingly the risks that they may encounter across the sea. However, the seller may refrain from delivering the goods, and this has many implications, especially the most important one is to give the buyer the right to request in-kind implementation or the termination of the FOB contract, which constitutes a breach and disruption in the level of international trade as a whole, given the complexity of the commercial relations that arise from this contract, on the one hand On the other hand, the seller’s failure to deliver the goods is considered to be the loss of the trust that forms the basis of the commercial deal.
