The current research aims to determine the requirements of Trends of International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS 2019) and to find out the extent to which the content of science textbooks for grades (1-4) in the Sultanate of Oman includes the requirements of (TIMSS 2019). Only the Cognitive Process dimension has been considered when conducting the analysis. The study population includes all science books from the first to the fourth grade for the academic year 2021-2022. The study identified and organized the requirements in the study tool, which is a list of requirements of (TIMSS 2019). After confirming its validity and reliability, the analysis was performed, and data were collected and analyzed statistically using frequencies and percentages. The results showed that all domains (knowledge, Applying, and Reasoning) and all cognitive skills for each domain were included in each grade, but the percentages included in the books differed always from those specified in the requirements of (TIMSS 2019). The rank of the included domains in grades 1, 3, and 4, were as follows: first, knowledge, second, Applying, and finally, Reasoning, which is the same rank proposed by (TIMSS 2019). However, the rank for grade 2 was different where Applying came first while Reasoning and knowledge came in the second and third ranks respectively. When frequencies and ratios were calculated for each of the three domains of cognitive processes cumulatively over the four years (1-4), an interesting result popped out. The percentage included for each of the three domains is close to the percentages specified by (TIMSS 2019). This means that the science textbooks (Cambridge) designed for students from the first grade to the fourth grade have balanced well between the percentages included and the percentages specified by (TIMSS 2019), but over the four years and not over one year only, as the difference between the percentages included and the percentages specified by (TIMSS 2019) in the field of knowledge was about 6.5 percentage points in favor of the percentage included, and the difference in the field of Applying was about 4.5 points Percentage in favor of the specified percentage. As for Reasoning, the difference was less than two points only in favor of the specified percentage, which means that there is a relatively greater focus on knowledge and relatively less on Applying and Reasoning.
ABSTRACT
Learning vocabulary is a challenging task for female English as a foreign language (EFL) students. Thus, improving students’ knowledge of vocabulary is critical if they are to make progress in learning a new language. The current study aimed at exploring the vocabulary learning strategies used by EFL students at Northern Border University (NBU). It also aimed to identify the mechanisms applied by EFL students at NBU University to learn vocabulary. It also aimed at evaluating the approaches adopted by EFL female students at Northern Border University (NBU) to learn a language. The study adopted the descriptive-analytical method. Two research instruments were developed to collect data namely, a survey qu

Corpus linguistics is a methodology in studying language through corpus-based research. It differs from a traditional approach in studying a language (prescriptive approach) in its insistence on the systematic study of authentic examples of language in use (descriptive approach).A “corpus” is a large body of machine-readable structurally collected naturally occurring linguistic data, either written texts or a transcription of recorded speech, which can be used as a starting-point of linguistic description or as a means of verifying hypotheses about a language. In the past decade, interest has grown tremendously in the use of language corpora for language education. The ways in which corpora have been employed in language pedago

Insurance companies play a dual and vital role in the economy in which they operate in two directions. The first is to protect investments from the various risks that threaten them by paying compensation in the event of one of these risks, which prevents companies from leaving the economic cycle and achieving social benefit because of continuity of the company means continuity The payment of taxes to the state and the payment of salaries and wages to employees and employees, in addition to the economic ties in front and background, which integrate the company with other companies (that stop the company can lead to the cessation of other companies), the second trend is that the trap The insurance company obtains the amounts of insurance p

Show MoreThe estimation of the parameters of Two Parameters Gamma Distribution in case of missing data has been made by using two important methods: the Maximum Likelihood Method and the Shrinkage Method. The former one consists of three methods to solve the MLE non-linear equation by which the estimators of the maximum likelihood can be obtained: Newton-Raphson, Thom and Sinha methods. Thom and Sinha methods are developed by the researcher to be suitable in case of missing data. Furthermore, the Bowman, Shenton and Lam Method, which depends on the Three Parameters Gamma Distribution to get the maximum likelihood estimators, has been developed. A comparison has been made between the methods in the experimental aspect to find the best meth
