The current study aimed to build a proposed educational program based on space education and measure its effectiveness in developing the concepts and skills associated with it, in addition to measuring the correlational relationship and the predictive dependency relationship between the amount of growth in the development of concepts and skills among the study sample, which consisted of (30) female students from Eleventh grade students from a school in Buraimi Governorate. The study followed a quasi-experimental quantitative approach with a one-group design. To measure the effectiveness of the program. The study data was collected using two tools: the cognitive achievement test; For space concepts and testing situations; for space skills, after ensuring the necessary validity and reliability values. The results of this study revealed: There were statistically significant differences at the level of significance (α≤0.01) between the averages of the study group’s scores in the pre- and post-measurements of the test of cognitive achievement of space concepts, and the test of attitudes of space skills among the study sample. The difference between the two means reached the total calculations in the pre- and post-measurements of the two dependent variables. (43.74,50.06) respectively in favor of the dimensional measurement for each. The effect size for the two adopted variables was (7.47, 6.53), respectively, which is a very high effect size, and the percentage of Black’s coefficient of adjusted gain for the two adopted variables was (1.66, 1.49), respectively, which is a high percentage. Which indicates the effectiveness of the proposed program. A number of conclusions were drawn, and a set of recommendations and proposals were presented.

Abstract: The study aimed to build a list of values contained in the document of the national framework for standards of general education curricula, and identify the availability of these values in the content of the English language textbooks (Super Goal) for the intermediate stage, and then provide a proposed concept to include these values in the content of the English language textbooks for the intermediate stage. To achieve the objectives of the study, the descriptive survey method was used in the method of content analysis, and the study community consisted of all the content of the developed English language textbooks (Super Goal) for the intermediate stage, the number of three books for the three grades of the intermediate stage of the semester (first, second and third), which is taught in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the year 1445 AH, and the study sample consisted of the entire study community, and to collect the necessary data, the researcher prepared the study tools, which are: A list of the values contained in the document of the national framework of standards for general education curricula, a content analysis card. The most prominent results of the study are: that there is a weakness and insufficiency in including the values contained in the document of the national framework of standards for general education curricula in the content of the developed English language books (Super Goal) for the intermediate stage, as these values came in a disorganized and unbalanced form.

The study aimed to explore the effectiveness of a training program in addressing the obstacles to implementing and utilizing generative artificial intelligence technology (ChatGPT) among a sample of university faculty members. The study employed a quasi-experimental design, with a sample of 20 male faculty members from Al-Baha University in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, who were intentionally selected. The main sample was divided into two groups: an experimental group and a control group, each consisting of 10 members. The study's tools included a questionnaire on the obstacles to applying and utilizing generative AI technology (ChatGPT) from the perspective of university faculty members, prepared by the researcher, and the training program to address these obstacles, also prepared by the researcher, The results revealed statistically significant differences at a significance level of (0.01) between the mean rank scores of the control and experimental groups in the post-test measurement of the questionnaire on obstacles to implementing and utilizing generative AI technology (ChatGPT) and its sub-dimensions (cognitive and training obstacles, cultural and social obstacles, ethical obstacles), in favor of the experimental group. This indicates that the program had an impact on addressing the obstacles faced by the faculty members in the experimental group. Additionally, there were statistically significant differences at a significance level of (0.01) between the mean rank scores of the experimental group members in the pre-test and post-test measurements for the overall questionnaire score and its sub-dimensions, favoring the post-test measurement. This shows that the program had a significant effect on overcoming the obstacles to applying and utilizing generative AI technology (ChatGPT) in the experimental group, Moreover, no statistically significant differences were found between the mean rank scores of the experimental group members in the post-test and follow-up measurements for the overall score and sub-dimensions of the study’s questionnaire. The study recommended generalizing the training program to include faculty members from various Saudi universities, with a focus on incorporating AI into curricula, in addition to preparing comprehensive educational materials and organizing regular workshops and training courses to enhance technical capacities and overcome ethical and cultural barriers. It also recommended establishing specialized research centers and developing technical infrastructure, along with promoting international cooperation and supporting applied research in this field.

The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a multi-activity training program for developing vocational skills among students with intellectual disabilities in the preparatory educational program in the Baha region. The quasi-experimental method was employed, and the following tools were utilized: a vocational skills scale developed by the researcher, and the multi-activity training program also developed by the researcher. The study sample consisted of 10 students with intellectual disabilities from the educational administration of the Baha region, selected purposively among those who scored the lowest on the vocational skills scale, falling in the lowest quartile, and whose ages ranged from 16 to 18 years, with a mean age of 16.90 years and a standard deviation of 0.738. The main sample was divided into two groups: an experimental group (n=5 students) and a control group (n=5 students). Pre-equivalence between the two groups was verified in terms of age and vocational skills variable. Subsequently, the multi-activity training program was implemented for the experimental group over 25 training sessions. Afterward, post-measurements were taken for both groups, and the hypotheses were tested for validity. The results of the study showed statistically significant differences at the 0.01 level between the mean ranks of the control and experimental groups in the post-measurement of the vocational skills scale and its sub-dimensions in favor of the experimental group. Furthermore, statistically significant differences were found at the 0.05 level between the mean ranks of individuals in the experimental group in the pre- and post-measurements of the total score of the vocational skills scale and its sub-dimensions, indicating improvement in the post-measurement. Finally, no statistically significant differences were found between the mean ranks of individuals in the experimental group in the post- and follow-up measurements of the vocational skills scale and its sub-dimensions.
