Structured Questionnaire

Background School students are an attractive target for stroke education due to the potential impact on stroke prevention and recognition. Additionally, these students can drive behavioral changes in their families. Aim To evaluate the impact of stroke education on school students, in terms of students’ and parents’ acquired stroke knowledge. Methods A structured questionnaire on knowledge of stroke was filled out by eighth-grade students and one of their parents in seven public schools. In four of these schools, students attended a stroke lecture; educational flyers and magnetic posters were distributed and parent education was encouraged. Students and parents of the other three schools were included in a control group. Students and parents, of both intervention and control groups, were resubmitted to the initial structured questionnaire within one week of the stroke lecture and three months later. Results We included 764 students and 344 parents, 383 (50.1%) and 210 (61.0%) in the intervention group. Correct test scores for students before, within one week, and three months after the intervention were 54.49% versus 55.03% (p = 0.418), 98.69% versus 60.89% (p < 0.001), and 95.58% versus 75.7% (p < 0.001) in the intervention and control groups, respectively. Correct test scores for parents at the same time points were 68.78% versus 64.47% (p = 0.107), 96.89% versus 71.42% (p < 0.001), and 94.58% versus 76.54% (p < 0.001) in the intervention and control groups, respectively. Conclusions School-based interventions may improve stroke knowledge in middle school students and their parents.

Behavior of bullying: Behavior of bullying, aims to impose control, and inflict physical, verbal and psychological harm to others, and has psychological, social and economic effects on the individual and society because it reflects the state of contradiction in the human personality, Hence, the research problem arose, and the researcher sought to find an answer to the following question: What is the effect of the modeling technique on reducing the behavior of bullying among middle school students? The research gains its importance by putting the method in the handbook of educational counselors to benefit from it. The current research aims to: 1 - measuring the behavior of bullying among middle school students.     2 - to identify the effect of modeling in reducing the behavior of bullying And to achieve the objectives of the research, the researcher formed a null hypothesis which states that there are no statistical differences between the experimental and control groups The current research is determined for intermediate secondary and middle school students in Diyala / Baquba city center. To achieve the research goals, the researcher adopted a benign scale and the specialists in this field who confirmed that it was applied to a sample of (400) students of the second grade to restore the truth and stability, from the ground up, the re-evaluation (0.85) and error with stability (0.83) and then the scale is ready for implementation and the total number of paragraphs (44) paragraph and thus assumed by (87). Two schools were chosen from the community schools in a deliberate manner, measuring (100) students randomly selected and (50) students from each school (32) students were selected from students who scored above the average, after ruling out the students who didn’t want to participate, the rest of the students were not evaluated then they were grouped into two groups, an experimental group and control group as (10) students in each group. The researcher chose the design of the experimental and control groups with post-test, while the control group didn’t receive any processing, the program has been built according to the planning, programming and time system, and may have a number of sessions (14) as (2) sessions per week. earch results shown the modeling technique effect in reducing the bullying behavior and thus the researcher came out with a number of resolutions and proposals

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of education based on Self-Regulation Strategy Development Model on the writing skills development of 6th grade (middle school) students. In this study, a pretest-post-test, quasi-experimental method with control group was used. The sample of the study consists of 60 students enrolled in two public middle schools affiliated with Aksaray Central Provincial Directorate of National Education. These two schools were determined as experimental and control groups randomly. The implementation of the study, which included two groups designated as experimental and control groups, was completed in 12 weeks, 2 lesson hours per week. In the collection and evaluation of the data, narrative and informative texts written by students, the Attitude Towards Writing Scale (ATWS), the Self-Regulated Writing Scale (SRWS) and the Ranked Scoring Key for the Evaluation of Written Expression (RSKEWE) were used. SPSS 24 program was used to analyze the data. As a result of the study, it was seen that the experimental group students’ written expression skills, writing self-regulation skills and writing attitudes levels were significantly higher compared to the control group students’.
