The present study aims at knowing the effect of Woods' model in correcting the geographical missUnderstanding for first stage students. In order to realize the objective of this study, the researcher used an experimental design with partial adjustment which is experimental group with another control group. The research is confined to the first four chapters of the boon of the principles of geography to be studied for the first stage in the academic year (2010/2011) in Iraq. The researcher chooses purposely the chose a staple form the first stage in Hay Al-Jama'a School for boys, in order to apply the experiment. The total number of the sample was (60) students who were distributed randomly as (30)per group. The researcher matched two groups in terms of ( geography diagonal test, intelligence level, Age, parent education). Then, the researcher tried to adjust a series of variables that might affect the variable. The researcher conducted the research on two stages; diagonal stage: in which he tried to analyze the book matter under the experiment and the subjects of geography which were taught to the groups of students in previous years (fifth and sixth primary stages). The repeated concepts were derived in the first stage and the previous stages. They were (20) concepts on the basis of which a diagonal test was adopted the type of multiple choice to measure the level of understanding in the cognitive field of Bloom's classification. The number of items attained (20) items each item one. On that basis the test of the items of wrong understanding. If the error rate exceeded (%34) above for the sample. The validity and constancy was verified and he discriminatory power of the items and the difficulty coefficient. It turned out after analysis that there are (16)concepts of wrong understanding for the second stage, correction. The procedures of this was applied on a diagonal sample which had been already subdivided into two groups; the experimental group which is taught according to Wood's method and the control group which is taught according to traditional methods. After ending the study of the four chapters of the Geography book, and analyzing the data statistically by using Chi square, it was found that the excel of the experimental group which is taught according to Wood's model over the control group which is taught according to traditional methods. In the light of which the following was found: 1. The effectiveness of Wood's model in correcting the wrong concepts more than the traditional ones. 2. The conventional methods have helped only in a limited way to correct some of the wrong concepts for the first stage students. The researcher has come up with the following recommendations: 1. To use Woods' model in teaching the general principles of geography for its effectiveness in correcting the wrong concepts. 2. The necessity that teachers of geography to have knowledge in the teaching models like Woods' Model. 3. Familiarize geography teachers with the methods of diagnosing the wrong conception for students to correct them In the light of the results, the researcher comes up with suggestions like conducting studies in the effect of: 1. Woods' Model on other stages and materials. 2. Woods' Model in variables affiliated to like innovative thinking, motivation and acquisition of the scientific skills. 3. A comparison study between Woods' model and other models not depending on the constructive philosophy.
The aim of this study is to identify the effectiveness of a rational, emotional, behavioral program in developing self-efficacy to reduce the level of Burnout in 20 teachers of students with autism disorder in Jazan, Saudi Arabia. The proposed program included 12 training sessions. The researcher found that the proposed program has contributed significantly to the development of self-efficacy and reduce the level of Burnout for the targeted subject in this study.
This work studies the role of serum apelin-36 and Glutathione S-transferases (GST) activity in association with the hormonal, metabolic profiles and their link to the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in healthy and patients' ladies with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). A total of fifty-four (PCOS) patients and thirty-one healthy woman as a control have been studied. The PCOS patients were subdivided on the basis of body-mass-index (BMI), into 2-subgroups (the first group was obese-PCOS with BMI ≥ 30 and the second group was non-obese PCOS MBI<30).

The current study was concerned to address these gaps in literature by identifying: first level and type of future visions among the next graduation student, second level and type of future visions among the sample according to gender (Male- Female), third level of the illegal immigration among the sample, fourth level of the illegal immigration according to gender (Male, Female), and finally the relationship between future visions and illegal immigration. To achieve the aims of the current study, the researchers created a questionnaire for the future visions. The psychometric properties (e.g. face validity, structure validity, and reliability) were tested. Base on the current sample, results showed that the questionnaire had sound psych

Obesity is a risk factor for a number of chronic conditions. Obesity is clinically defined using the body mass index (BMI) as weight in kg divided by (height)2 in m2 correlated with obesity. Currently, genetic markers of obesity are being studied. This study focused on the association between the angiotensin II receptor AGTR1 gene (A1166C) and fat mass and obesity-associated protein also known as alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase (FTO) (rs9939609) in obese children and adolescents patients in Rostov region, Russia.
