The current study aimed to determine the level of social intelligence and feeling of happiness among students of the faculty of educational sciences and arts / UNRWA as a function of gender, students’ seniority and grade point average (GPA). The study also aimed to investigate students’ social intelligence as a predictor of feeling of happiness. The study sample consisted of 219 male and female students that were selected randomly. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher used two scales; the social intelligence scale designed by Silvera, Martinussen and Dahl (2001). The scale was translated by the researcher. The feeling of happiness scale which was developed by Abdulkhaliq et a]. (2003) was also used. The results showed that undergraduate students’ social intelligence and feeling of happiness were at the average. The results showed that there were no statistically significant differences in social intelligence and feeling of happiness among students attributable to their gender, seniority and GPA. Results also showed that social intelligence in the two dimensions (social information processing and social interpersonal skills) were predictive of the feeling of happiness among students of the faculty of the educational science and arts / UNRWA.

هدفت الدراسة إلى قياس مستوى الوعي البيئي لدى طلبة كلية العلوم التربوية في جامعة القدس المفتوحة واتجاهاتهم نحوه، استخدمت الدراسة المنهج الوصفي التحليلي، وبلغت عينة الدراسة (172) طالبا وطالبة للعام الجامعي 2017/2018، وكانت أداة الدراسة عبارة عن استبانة مكونة من (45) فقرة لقياس الوعي البيئي ومقياس مكون من (34) فقرة لقياس الاتجاهات نحوه، توصلت الدراسة إلى نتائج أهمها : تدني مستوى الوعي البيئي لدى عينة الدراسة حيث بلغت النسبة المئوية لمن ليس لديهم وعي بيئي(أقل من 60%) كانوا ( 90.7 ) أما من لديهم وعي بيئي ( 60% فأكثر) كانوا (9.3%. توجد فروق ذات دلالة إحصائية لصالح الذكور في مستوى الوعي البيئي بين الجنسين حيث بلغ الوسط الحسابي للذكور (52.5) والوسط الحسابي للإناث (49.1). ومن لديهم اتجاهات نحو الوعي البيئي بلغ (14.5%) أما من ليس لديهم اتجاهات إيجابية نحو الوعي البيئي فقد بلغ (85.5%)، لا توجد فروق ذات دلالة إحصائية بين الجنسين وبين مستوى الاتجاه نحو الوعي البيئي. The present study aimed at measuring the level of environmental awareness among the students of the Faculty of Educational Sciences at Al-Quds Open University and their attitudes towards it. The descriptive analytical approach was followed on a sample of (172) male and female students from the Faculty of Educational Sciences in the academic year 2017/2018. To collect the data of the study, a (45) item questionnaire was used to measure the environmental awareness besides a (34) scale to measure the students’ attitudes towards it. T study concluded the low level of environmental awareness among the study sample, as only (9.3%) among the students who reached (60% and above) on the environmental awareness scale. It is worth mentioning that the percentage of environmental awareness was compared to the hypothetical percentage (60%). The results also showed that those who have no environmental awareness (cut off less than 60%) reached (90.7%), while the rest had environmental awareness (9.3%). Additionally, there are statistically significant differences of the total sample in favor of males in the level of environmental awareness, where the mean of the male was (52.5). Moreover, the results revealed that those who have positive attitudes towards environmental awareness reached (14.5%), while those who did not have positive attitudes towards environmental awareness reached (85.5%).

The present study aims to explore Nearpod as a tool to promote active learning in higher education. In this study, Nearpod is regarded as a tool that can be used to enhance teaching and learning for those lectures provided by male instructors to female students at Sharoura College&nbsp;of&nbsp;Science and Arts, Najran University. Hence, the Nearpod is integrated with video-conference learning system which is used as distance learning system to provide lectures by male lecturers to female students who study at a separate campus. Consequently, students&rsquo; own devices have been used to fulfil learning activities during classes. The author utilized the mainly quantitative research method and designed an electronic learning questionnaire applied to (74) female students. The findings of the study showed that the affordances of Nearpod and the BYOD model have promoted active learning in the classroom. Students were very satisfied with integrated learning environment, and they commended Nearpod in all courses specially those ones taught by video-conference learning system.

This study aimed to identify the impact of teaching critical thinking skills on the attitude towards biology courses among female students of tenth grade in Jordan using two active learning strategies. To achieve this, the Critical Thinking Scale and the Attitude towards Biology Scale was used, and its validity and consistency were verified. The sample of the study wad (90) female students from the tenth grade in Southern Mazar Directorate in the academic year (2019-2020). The sample of this study was randomly assigned to three groups: the first was experimental group which consisted of (31) students who studied the genetics unit using the directed investigation strategy. The second was the experimental group which consisted of (29) students who studied the genetics unit using the discussion strategy, but the control group consisted of (30) students who studied the genetics unit in the usual way. Data were collected and analyzed after implementing the experiment, which lasted for two months. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences in performance on the Critical Thinking Scale and the Attitude towards Biology Scale in favor of the two experimental groups. The study recommended adopting active learning strategies in teaching science courses in general and biology courses, in addition to conducting more studies on active learning strategies with other variables and classrooms.   Keywords: active learning, investigation, discussion, critical thinking, attitude towards biology
