The reliability of the test was also verified by finding the Cronbach's alpha coefficient, which reached (0.896). The research tool were applied in the first semester of the year (2020-2021), and statistical analysis and data processing were carried out using Microsoft Excel and the Statistical Portfolio for Social Sciences (SPSS) program. By applying the T-test equation for one sample to the data obtained from the final application of the research tool, it was concluded that the fourth-grade science students possess a low level of deep understanding of biology. Accordingly, the researcher recommended a number of recommendations and suggestions.

Achievement of fourth-grade students in physics

The aim of the current research is to identify the achievement of fourth-grade scientific students in physics, and for the purpose of achieving this goal, the two researchers used the descriptive approach of their research community, which consisted of (400) students of the fourth scientific grade from preparatory schools affiliated to the Directorate of Education in Al-Qadisiyah Governorate for the academic year (2020-2021). M) The researchers built an achievement test tool that consisted of (40) objective paragraphs, where the results showed that the research sample achieved good results in the physics achievement test, that there is a statistically significant difference in the physics achievement test, between males and females and in favor of males, and the most important The recommendations reached by the researchers that physics teachers use different methods in teaching physics as they contributed to increasing their achievement. The most important proposals are to conduct similar studies for other academic stages to identify the students' achievement in physics according to the gender variable, and to conduct similar studies with the diversity of variables.

Metamemory Among Fourth grade science students

The current research aim to identify Metamemory among students of the fourth scientific grade The research has been limited to students of the fourth scientific grade in secondary and Preparatory schools in the center of Al-Qadisiyah Governorate for the academic year (2020-2021), and the descriptive survey approach was adopted, and the sample size amounted to (400) male and female students who were chosen randomly. To achieve the objectives of the research, the tow researchers prepared research tool represented by a measure of Metamemory, which in its final form consisted of (36) items, with (19) paragraphs of positive wording and (17) paragraphs of negative wording, according to the definition (Troyer & Rich, 2002) who classified Metamemory into three dimensions: satisfaction with memory, ability or memory errors and remembering strategies. And has been verified the apparent validity, content and constructive validity of the scale, the calculation of discrimination coefficients for the items of the scale, and checking the scale's stability through out the calculation of the Cronbach's alpha coefficient, which amounted to (0.919). The research tool were applied in the first semester of the year (2020-2021), and statistical analysis and data processing were carried out using the Statistical Portfolio for Social Sciences (SPSS) program. By applying the equation of the t-test for one sample to the data obtained from the final application of the research tool, it was concluded that students of the fourth scientific grade possess a high level of metamemory. Accordingly, the researchers presented some recommendations and suggestions. key words : Metamemory

The Impact of Teaching by Using STEM Approach in The Development of Creative Thinking and Mathematical Achievement Among the Students of The Fourth Scientific Class

<p>The research aims to know the impact of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education on both creative thinking and mathematical achievement. To achieve it, the two researchers followed the quasi-experimental approach with an experimental design for two groups, one experimental and the other a control. The research sample consisted of (32) female students from the fourth scientific grade in Al-Intisar Preparatory School for Girls / Al-Rasafa, First Directorate. The sample was chosen intentionally and was divided into two groups: a control group studying by the traditional method, their number (16), and an experimental group that applied the STEM approach, their number also (16). There was parity between the two research groups in the variables (chronological age, previous achievement in mathematics, innovative thinking). The research tools consist of testing innovative thinking skills (fluency, flexibility, originality, relationships) and achievement tests. The research experiment was applied before and after. To test the validity of the hypotheses, data were collected and then statistically analyzed using appropriate statistical methods. The results of the research found that there were statistically significant differences in both the tests of innovative thinking and mathematical achievement in favor of the experimental group that studied according to the STEM approach, and in light of the results, the researchers recommended several recommendations and suggestions.</p>

Scientific Literacy Based on Three Things Dependency

Burhān al-Dīn al-Zarnūjī in his treatise Ta'līm al-Muta'allim Ṭorīq al-Ta'allum proposed that the academic achievement has six things dependency: ingenious acumen (intelligences), fervent desire (motivation), resilience (patience when find difficulties), sufficent sustenance (to complete learning), guidance of a teacher (through learning), and length of time (intensively). Based on this perspective, we was empirically tested students scientific literacy through correlational research. In particular, first, multiple intelligences was examined based on Multiple Intelligences Survey (MIS). Second, science learning motivation was explored used Science Motivation Questionnaire II (SMQ-II). Third, adversity quotient was measured with Adversity Response Profile (ARP). Fourth, scientific literacy was tested with Scientific Literacy Test (SLT) that focused on three competencies. The participants were 50 students in Kabupaten Kudus choosen by purposive sampling technique. Pearson r was used to elaborate relation of scientific literacy with each type of multiple intelligences, components of learning motivation, dimensions of adversity quotient as well. The findings suggest that it is important to facilitate that factors to guide students on achieving scientific literacy.

Education in the Context of Current Globalization

Drawing on the studies of works of the sociologists and politicians analyzing modern geopolitical trends and issues and on his own investigations in the realm of global and Russian environmental politics, the author came to the following conclusions. An education as a social institution and structural-functional organization has to be analyzed as a part of globalization process conditioned by the digitalization of mode of production and social reproduction (in other terms, by the Fourth scientific-and-technological revolution, hereafter the STR-4). At the same time, one has to keep in mind that recently almost any knowledge has not only complex but a hybrid character. It reflects the fact that every structure or process is actually a sociobiotechnical system (hereafter, the SBT-system). Such hybridization may be a result of natural processes or a particular thing of process is socially-constructed. Any hybrids are the results of metabolic processes. Therefore, the education processes are considered not as class-room work by children and students but as an all-embracing process of a ‘learning-to learn’, that is as a part of reciprocal enrichment of various institutions and groups of global community by using of scientific and technological innovations. I see the education as an all-embracing process of accumulation, selection, processing and practical use of information produced in all spheres of natural, social and technological activity. It seems necessary to strengthen an information exchange between the state, business and civil society institutions and initiative groups. The knowledge production and its use in emergency cases by the volunteers, and the phenomenon of a ‘digital alienation’ deserve special attention.
