The Journey of a Word: An Action Research Intervention of Morphemic Analysis and Etymology for a Middle School Gifted and Talented Class

Sixth-grade students who had been identified as gifted and talented participated in a literacy intervention designed and implemented by the first author as part of an action research project. These students were meeting the grade-level standards in literacy, so the project aimed to push their vocabulary knowledge further in order to prepare them for the complex vocabulary they encounter in their independent reading and assigned content units. This daily intervention directly taught students the origins and histories of words and word parts from Latin, Greek, Germanic, and French languages, introduced morphemic analysis strategies, and gave them techniques to analyze the words’ meanings based on that information. Content-specific vocabulary, as well as general vocabulary knowledge of the participating students increased significantly. Throughout the intervention, students’ confidence in vocabulary knowledge improved, and they gained a deeper understanding of the nuances of language as their ability to apply this knowledge in other contexts grew and facilitated better understanding of the words they read.

Sixth-grade basic students ’acquisition of some of the values of citizenship and its relationship to their coping competence: مستوى اكتساب تلاميذ الصّفّ السّادس الأساسي لبعض قيَم المواطنة وعلاقتها بكفاءة المواجهة لديهم

The study aimed to identify the level of basic sixth-graders' acquisition of some of the values of citizenship and their level of competence in confrontation, and to reveal the relationship between the level of their acquisition of some values of citizenship and the level of competence of confrontation they have, and to reveal the differences between them in the acquisition of specific citizenship values (patriotism, commitment, responsibility The study sample consisted of (420) male and female students of the sixth grade, of whom (219) were pupils, and (201) pupils in the schools of Tartous city, and the study adopted the descriptive approach, and the Specific Citizenship Values Scale, and the Confrontation Efficiency Scale were used, which were prepared by the researcher using the previous studies. The city of Tartous, and their average level of confrontation competence, and the presence of a positive correlation between the scores of the study sample "of sixth grade students" in the scale of citizenship values and their scores in the scale of confrontation competence, a J The higher the level of students ’acquisition of citizenship values, the higher their level of coping competence, and there are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the study sample of sixth-grade students on the scale of citizenship values according to the gender variable in favor of female students in the overall score and sub-dimensions. Except for the second dimension (commitment value), it was not statistically significant and there were no differences between males and females, and there were no statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the study sample of sixth grade students on the scale of coping efficiency according to the gender variable.

Quantitative Research on Gifted Students’ Scientific Epistemological Beliefs

This study explores the scientific epistemological beliefs of gifted students. It attempts to investigate gender, age and grade level-based differences in scientific epistemological beliefs. The study group comprised 120 gifted students (67 girls, 53 boys). To determine the scientific epistemological beliefs of these students, the Scientific Epistemological Beliefs Survey was employed. The results reveal that while the average scores of fifth and sixth-grade students were close to each other, the highest mean epistemological beliefs score was at the seventh and eighth-grade levels. Thus, there is a positive change in the scientific epistemological beliefs of gifted students who receive more science education. Statistically, the results showed that the difference between the epistemological beliefs scores of the female and male students was not statistically significant.

THE IMPACT OF A TRIZ PROGRAM ON SIXTH GRADE STUDENTS’ CREATIVITY AND PSYCHOLOGICAL VARIABLES

The present paper examines the impact of a TRIZ educational program on students’ creativity in mathematical problem solving and on psychological variables, namely general self-efficacy, creative self-efficacy, curiosity, and creative emotions. The research sample consisted of 50 sixth grade students. They were distributed into two groups. The control group consisted of 25 students who learned geometry units in the traditional way. The experimental group consisted of 25 students who studied the same unit using a program based on TRIZ theory. The research results indicated that the TRIZ-based educating unit influences positively the four variables, resulting in significant differences in the participating students’ mean scores in favor of the group of students who learned the TRIZ-based mathematics unit. This influence could be a result of the educational TRIZ program features. Theory-based educational programs are suggested for use in the mathematics classroom, as these programs benefit students’ creativity and different psychological variables.

The Effectiveness of A Program Based on The Theory of Successful Intelligence in The Development of Creative Reading Skills of Sixth Grade Students: فاعلية برنامج قائم على نظرية الذكاء الناجح في تنمية مهارات القراءة الإبداعية لدى طالبات الصف السادس الابتدائي

The current study aimed to identify the effectiveness of a program based on the theory of successful intelligence in developing creative reading skills among sixth grade students. To this end, the researcher has used the experimental approach with a quasi-experimental design for the two equivalent experimental and control groups. She has also used the following tools and materials; (1) a list of creative reading skills to be developed, (2) an achievement test to measure the creative reading skills, and (3) teacher's manual. The researcher has also validated the data collection tools and administered them on a random sample of the sixth-grade female students in the schools in Al-Rass governorate (N=60); 30 students for each group. Findings of the study revealed that there were statistically significant differences at the level of (0.05) between the experimental and control groups students' skills in the post -tests scores of creative reading skills for the benefit of the experimental group students who studied using the program based on the theory of the successful intelligence. The results also showed a significant positive impact of the program based on the theory of successful intelligence in developing the creative reading skills of the experimental group students. In light the previous findings, the researcher provided many recommendations and the most major ones were to take care of developing creative reading skills for different stages particularly the elementary stage, to use the program based on the theory of successful intelligence as it was found effective in developing the creative reading skills, and to hold training programs for Arabic language teachers and supervisors to orient them how to best employ the theory of successful intelligence in teaching and clarify its role in developing creative reading skills.

ОБҐРУНТУВАННЯ ПОШИРЕНОСТІ ПРОЯВІВ КІБЕРБУЛІНГУ СЕРЕД СТУДЕНТСЬКОЇ МОЛОДІ

Статтю присвячено проблемі психологічного кібернасилля студентської молоді з метою обґрунтування сутності феномену та поширеності його проявів в юнацькому середовищі у закладах вищої освіти. Актуальність, недостатня вивченість питання та спроба обґрунтувати важливість наукового підходу до даної проблеми, обумовили вибір теми, теоретичне узагальнення та аналітичний огляд досліджень, що стали поштовхом для здійснення подальшого емпіричного дослідження. Методами дослідження були теоретичний аналіз юридичної та психолого-педагогічної літератури щодо розуміння понять булінгу, мобінгу та кібербулінгу, емпіричні результати діагностики рівня поширеності кібербулінгу серед студентів за розробленою авторською анкетою, в основу якої покладено дослідження О. Макарової (2016) «Психологічні особливості кібербулінгу як форми інтернет-злочину». Визначено поняття «булінгу» і «мобінгу» у юридичному та психолого-педагогічному аспектах, обґрунтовано використання поняття «кібербулінгу» для дослідження студентської молоді та його поширеності серед юнацького віку. Встановлено актуальність проблеми та необхідність подальшої розробки теоретичних засад і практичних досліджень кібербулінгу не лише для школярів, але й для повнолітніх здобувачів вищої освіти. Розглянуто особливості проявів кібербулінгу у студентів та їх відмінності від шкільного насилля в мережі Інтернет у науково-практичних дослідженнях. Отримано кількісні дані та визначено основні тенденції щодо розуміння проблеми діджиталізації психологічного насилля у кіберпросторі серед студентів різних спеціальностей. Емпірично виявлено наявність кібербулінгу у різних сферах життя здобувачів та частоту проявів феномену серед студентів-користувачів соціальної мережі у межах закладу вищої освіти. Дане дослідження буде основою для теоретико-емпіричного вивчення соціально-психологічних чинників протидії та засобів профілактики кібербулінгу в студентському середовищі й стане поштовхом для подальшого розвитку кіберпсихологічної науки в Україні.
