This study investigated the level of dogmatism among students at King Saud University and Majmaah University. It also aimed to identify the dogmatism level related to gender, academic level, grade point average (GPA), specialization, and participation in student activities. The sample of the study consisted of 499 male and female students from the two universities in the academic year 2020/2021. The descriptive method was used in the study. The data were collected through a dogmatism scale of 30 items by Al-Rakibat and Al-Ja'afrah (2019), after verifying its validity and reliability and modifying it to suit the Saudi setting. The findings revealed that there was more than moderate level of dogmatism among students in the two universities; there were statistically significant differences in dogmatism in favor of King Saud University students, where the t value reached 5.39 at the significance level P = 0.05. With regard to gender, there were significant differences in favor of male students, where the t value reached 4.06 at the significance level P = 0.05. As for the academic specialization, there were significant differences in favor of scientific specialization, where the F value reached 9.2 at the significance level P = 0.05. The study also indicated that there were no statistically significant differences in dogmatism attributed to the academic level. As for the GPA, there were statistically significant differences in favor of the lowest GPA (less than 3.4), where the F value reached 8.17 at the significance level P = 0.05. Finally, there were no significant differences related to participation in student activities. From these results, a number of related recommendations and suggestions, including preparing counseling programs to reduce the level of dogmatism among students, were presented.

The current study targets measuring the level of online learning self-efficacy among Sultan Qaboos University students during the spread of the Corona pandemic (Covid-19). The tool adopted by this study, to measure online learning self-efficacy, is OLSES, which was developed by Zimmerman & Kulikowich (2016). OLSES has been translated into Arabic by a well experienced translator. The OLSES scale was applied to a sample of 120 male and female students studying at Sultan Qaboos University to verify its psychometric properties in terms of its validity and reliability. Following on establishing the stability and integrity of the scale, it was applied on a research sample of 1560 male and female students at the same university. The results of the study indicated a high level of online learning self-efficacy among university students. Furthermore, the study showed a significant statistical difference between male and female students in favor of female students. Meanwhile, the community of the students, in terms of rural and urban, and the type of study, whether humanitarian or practical, did not have any significant statistical difference. The number of years variable at the university indicated significant statistical differences for only time management variable with higher self-efficacy for students who studied for five years or more.

The study aimed to reveal the effectiveness of a proposed enrichment program considering the dimensions of community security in enhancing security awareness among tenth grade students in the Sultanate of Oman and their attitudes towards it. The researchers used the quasi-experimental method. They designed the enrichment program, a measure of security awareness, and a measure of students' attitudes. After verifying the validity and reliability of them, they applied them to the study sample. Then, statistical processors were performed. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences in the post application of the security awareness measure, in favor of the experimental group. Also, there were statistically significant differences between the pre and post application of the experimental group in favor of the post application. This means that the enrichment program is effective in enhancing security awareness among the students of the experimental group. The results also showed an increase in the attitudes of the experimental group students towards the enrichment program. Considering that, the study recommended benefiting from what was included in the enrichment program in developing Islamic education curricula and enhancing them in terms of community security and, in addition, benefiting from the program in enhancing security awareness among tenth grade students.

The current study aims to reveal the relationship between the mental health and attitude toward work, among a sample of Syrian workers in the health sector residing inside and outside Syria during the spread of COVID-19, and then to recognize the differences in mental health and attitude toward work according to the variables: (place of residence, gender and occupation). The sample consisted of (211) physicians and nurses: (132) Syrian workers inside Syria, (79) Syrian workers outside Syria (Qatar 23, UAE 35, and Saudi Arabia 21). The researcher used the mental health scale (Abdul-Khaleq, 2016) and Work Attitude Questionnaire prepared by her. The Results showed the existence of a positive correlation between mental health and attitude toward work. It also showed the absence of a statistically significant effect of the interaction between sex, place of residence and occupation in mental health, except for the differences in mental health according to gender with the difference in favor of males. The study also confirmed the absence of relationship between (gender, place of residence and occupation) and the attitude towards work. The differences that were recorded were between the functional and material dimensions according to the place of residence with the difference in favor of workers outside Syria. There were also differences between the financial and health dimensions related to the occupation, in favor of nurses. The study also confirmed the effect of the interaction between the place of residence, the gender and occupation in the material dimension, in favor of male nurses outside Syria.

The study aimed to demonstrate a relationship between the trauma level of loss and the level of psychological security in a sample of the coronavirus pandemic victims’ families in the Gaza Strip. To achieve the objectives of this study, a random sample was chosen from the families of coronavirus victims in the Gaza Strip, which reached a number of (150) people, to whom the study applied the Maslow scale for feeling of psychological security, the post-traumatic stress scale, standard deviation, a T-test for two independent samples, and an ANOVA test. The study reached several results that state the following: Trauma level of loss among the families of coronavirus victims in the Gaza Strip reached 80.6%; the emotional symptoms of post-traumatic stress ranked first, at a rate of 82.8%, followed by cognitive symptoms of post-traumatic stress, at a rate of 81.1%, and in the last place came the behavioral symptoms of post-traumatic stress, at a rate of 77.8%; in addition, the families of coronavirus victims in the Gaza Strip proved to have had a high level of psychological security, the rate of which reached 72%, and the results showed that there was no relationship between the level of post-traumatic stress and the level of psychological security among the sample members, as well as the absence of statistically significant differences among the sample members in the level of loss shock and psychological security due to the following variables: (age, kinship, educational level, and gender). The researchers recommended intensifying mental health support programs for families of victims of coronavirus.

The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a counseling program in developing Social Skills and reducing the level of withdrawal behavior among a sample of handicapped persons in Al- Shafallah Centre. The sample consisted of (100) persons, the quasi-experimental sample consisted of (22) male and females who scored the lowest scores in the level of social skills and the highest scores in the level of withdrawal behavior. Later, they were randomly distributed equitably into two groups: experimental and controlled. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, two valid reliable scales were developed: The Social Skills scale and the Withdrawal Behavior scale which had appropriate validity and reliability. The counseling program that was built included (13) counseling sessions, which was applied to the members of the experimental group at two sessions per week for a period of (40) minutes each. The results indicated that the level of social skills in the pre-test was moderate among the members of the sample, while the level of withdrawal behavior was high. The results also showed statistically significant differences between the average scores of the study sample members in both groups: the experimental and the controlled, in the level of social skills, and the withdrawal behavior, in favor of the experimental group members. The results also indicated that there were no statistically significant differences between the average scores of the experimental group in the social skills, and the withdrawal behavior, which indicates the effectiveness of the counseling program and its continued impact during the follow-up period. The study concluded with a set of recommendations, the most important of which were: The necessity of providing multiple opportunities to practice daily activities and practices that will develop social skills and reduce the withdrawal behavior of these individuals.

This study aimed to identify the extent to which scientific literacy dimensions are included in the projects participating in the GLOBE Environmental Program in the Sultanate of Oman. To achieve this aim, the study instrument was designed, which is a card for analyzing the content of scientific projects in the light of the four dimensions with (29) items of scientific literacy, namely: scientific knowledge, thinking and problem-solving methods, scientific investigation, and the interchangeable relationship between work, technology, society, and the environment. A number of specialists in science education verified the validity of the content of the study’s instrument. Its reliability was confirmed using the "Kappa" coefficient between the two analyzers, where it reached (90%), which is suitable, based on the purpose of the analysis. The study results indicated that the dimensions of scientific literacy are included in the projects participating in the GLOBE Environmental Program. The results showed that the content of the analyzed projects, in general, have all the items of the four dimensions of scientific literacy included in the study instrument, at a rate of 100%. The dimensions of scientific literacy were distributed in descending order according to the percentages dealt with as follows: thinking and problem-solving methods (36.9%), scientific investigation (23.4%), scientific knowledge (20.3%), and, finally, the interrelationship between science, technology, society and the environment (19.3%). The study highly recommended integrating these projects participating in the GLOBE Environmental Program and the curricula, because of their profound role in developing the dimensions of scientific literacy among students.
