Relationship between Selected Kinetic Variables and Achievement Time in the 4 × 10 m Shuttle Run Test
No full textThis study aimed to identify the values of some kinematic variables that influence the achievement time in the 4 × 10 m shuttle run test within the King Abdullah II Award for Physical Fitness. Additionally, the study examined the relationship between these variables and the achievement time. To achieve this, the researchers used a descriptive approach with eight healthy male students from first Zarqa education. The participants were recorded using two Sony HDR-CX220E video cameras at a speed of 50 frames per second. The study examined the following variables: stride length, stride frequency, rotation time, the high gravity center of the body at the moment of repression, average speed, and efficiency index. The results showed that the average stride length was 1.11 meters, representing approximately 76% of the average height of the participants. The average number of steps was 36.25. Additionally, the study revealed a statistically significant correlation between the completion time and both the average speed and the efficiency index. The findings also indicated that variables such as average speed, stride length, efficiency index, and step frequency could explain 100% of the variance in the dependent variable, which is the completion time. The researchers recommend that physical education teachers consider the findings of this study to improve training and performance
The Effect of an Electronic Collocation-Based Instructional Program on Jordanian EFL Tenth Graders’ Word Knowledge
No full textThis quasi-experimental study investigated the effectiveness of an electronic collocation-based instructional program on Jordanian EFL tenth-grade students\u27 word knowledge. Two sections of 25 students each, from a government school in Irbid, were randomly assigned as experimental and control groups. A word knowledge pre-test, which included a section measuring word meaning and another assessing word collocation, was administered to determine whether the two groups were homogeneous before implementing the program. Lexical collocations in Action Pack 10 were identified through a content analysis of selected reading passages, and these collocations were taught to the experimental group using Quizlet, a flashcard mobile application. The control group received no collocation instruction. After the treatment, both groups took a word knowledge post-test. The findings indicated that the experimental group outperformed the control group in the overall word knowledge test, as well as in each section of the test: word meaning and word collocatio

Digital Legacies: Their Concept and Provisions (A Jurisprudential and Foundational Study)
No full textThe research addresses one of the most contemporary issues in legacies, specifically concerning the regulation of the inheritance of digital services and rights—a product of the technological revolution in applications, software, networking sites, electronic databases, and more, which have developed significantly in recent times where the language of numbers has become an independent realm. In referencing scholars\u27 views on legacy issues, the researcher aims to shed light on a type of legacy situated between abstract financial assets and personal rights, termed as the two similarities legacy. This is accompanied by an attempt to demonstrate the parallels and likenesses between digital legacies and the two similarities legacies. The researcher tends to favor the inheritance of digital legacies within the framework of their legal regulations. After examining jurists\u27 statements and contemporary trends in addressing this issue, the researcher recognizes the strength and rigidity of the jurisprudential framework and its leadership in citing and governing such rights, emphasizing the preservation of individuals\u27 wealth and rights as one of the key purposes and priorities of Sharia
Development of a Tool to Measure Creative Thinking and its Use in Assessing the Level of Creative Thinking Skills among Jordan University Students
No full textThe study aimed to develop a scale for measuring creative thinking, evaluate its validity and reliability, and apply it to students at the University of Jordan. Two equivalent forms of the scale Form (A) and Form (B) were created, each consisting of 14 questions. The scale was administered to a sample of 73 male and female undergraduate students, who were randomly divided into two groups: 37 students completed Form (A), and 36 students completed Form (B). The results indicated that the scale possesses appropriate psychometric properties. The reliability coefficients, measured by internal consistency, were 0.926 for Form (A) and 0.924 for Form (B). The criterion-related validity index, in relation to the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking, was 0.416. Pearson’s correlation coefficients between the scores on the verbal forms of the two scales were 0.462, and 0.409 for the morphological forms. The validity of the scale was further confirmed through face validity and construct validity. Subsequently, a final version of the scale was developed for the study, consisting of 13 questions. It was applied to a sample of 305 undergraduate students at the University of Jordan, randomly selected. The findings showed that students’ overall level of creative thinking was moderate, with scores indicating an average for total scores, fluency, and flexibility skills, and a weak level for originality. The results also revealed no statistically significant differences in creative thinking related to academic level. However, significant differences were found based on gender, favoring females. Additionally, significant differences were observed concerning faculty affiliation, favoring medical faculties, and based on cumulative average, with higher scores among students with an excellent average. The study recommends conducting further research on different age groups and expanding the scope to assess the scale’s validity and reliability across broader populations

No full textThe study aimed to reveal the degree of practicing electronic supervision by early grades supervisors in Jerash Governorate schools, considering the reading and mathematics initiative, from the perspective of school principals and early grades teachers. To achieve this aim, the descriptive correlational method was used, employing an electronic supervision questionnaire consisting of 25 items. The sample consisted of 325 principals and early grades teachers. The researchers distributed the electronic questionnaire randomly to the sample from schools of education in Jerash Governorate. The results indicated that the degree of electronic supervision practiced by early grades supervisors in light of the reading and mathematics initiative, as perceived by principals and early grades teachers, was moderate. There were significant differences at α = 0.05 in the estimations of principals and teachers based on the variable of years of experience, favoring those with less than 10 years of experience. No significant differences were found regarding gender, job title, or years of experience beyond the less-than-10-years category. Finally, the researchers recommended several measures, including holding training courses for educational supervisors on the concepts of electronic supervision and educating teachers on methods to attract parental involvement in the parent participation program
Assessing the Monitoring and Legislative Performance of the 17th House of Representatives in Jordan: Perspectives of Jordanian Universities\u27 Political Science Staff
No full textThis study aims to explore the reality of the regulatory and legislative roles practiced by members of the 17th Jordanian Parliament, from the perspective of political science faculty members at Jordanian universities. The study was based on the hypothesis that there is a statistically significant relationship at the level of (α ≥ 0.05) between the personal variables of the study sample members and their perceptions of the members’ practical roles in the 17th Parliament. To achieve this aim, the researcher employed the descriptive analytical survey method and developed a questionnaire, then verified its psychometric properties regarding accuracy and reliability. The questionnaire included two sections: one for legislative roles, consisting of 16 main questions, and another for regulatory roles, consisting of 13 questions. It was distributed to 78 members of the study sample, of whom 56 responded. Twenty-two questionnaires were excluded due to invalidity, leaving 56 questionnaires for analysis. The study concluded that the MPs’ exercise of regulatory and legislative roles was modest and below expectations. Additionally, the findings showed no significant discrepancy in evaluations of the practice of the 17th Parliament, regardless of differences in the academic rank, narrow specialization, or sector of the respondents. Based on these findings, the study recommends strengthening the independence of MPs and enhancing their regulatory and legislative roles by providing them with experts in politics, economics, and law. Furthermore, it suggests fostering genuine cooperation between the House of Representatives and political science faculty members by enabling seminars and lectures to be delivered to parliamentarians, thereby raising their level of parliamentary practice at both legislative and regulatory levels
