  The study aimed to identify the reality of educational transformations for primary school students in light of the Corona pandemic from the point of view of school principals in the Northern Jordan Valley. A number of (35) principals in the Northern Jordan Valley were chosen intentionally, and the study reached the following results: the results of the interviews of the respondents showed that the educational relations were limited and transformed from the school system with its elements to the home system with its elements, and to the transfer of the process of receiving the educational authority From administrators and teachers in the school to parents and older brothers at home, and because of the shift in the spatial presence and the abolition of the role of the director and the teacher as an educational process and its transfer to the educational platforms that came during the Corona pandemic, the educational burden and follow-up became entrusted to a very high rate estimated at (80%). As the student’s dependence on himself and his parents, and in light of the results of the study, the researcher made several recommendations for the need to conduct more studies and research Related to the educational reality and its transformations in light of the Corona pandemic at other age and educational stages, and the need to think of solutions to students’ problems resulting from their confinement to educational platforms and their lack of mixing with their peers.

ABSTRACT We present two new Bayesian 14C models using IntCal20 that incorporate 17 new calibrated AMS ages for Early Bronze IV Tell Abu en-Ni‘aj and Middle Bronze Age Tell el-Hayyat, located in the northern Jordan Valley, Jordan. These freshly augmented suites of carbonized seed dates now include 25 AMS dates from Tell Abu en-Ni‘aj and 31 AMS dates from Tell el-Hayyat. The modeled founding date for Tell Abu en-Ni‘aj strengthens an emerging high chronology for Early Bronze IV starting by 2500 cal BC, while the end of its habitation by 2200 cal BC may exemplify a regional pattern of increasingly pervasive abandonment among late Early Bronze IV settlements in the Southern Levant. In turn, our modeled date for the Early Bronze IV/Middle Bronze Age transition at Tell el-Hayyat around 1900 cal BC pushes this interface about a century later than surmised traditionally, and its abandonment in Middle Bronze III marks an unexpectedly early end date before 1600 cal BC. These inferences, which coordinate Bayesian AMS models and typological ceramic sequences for Tell Abu en-Ni‘aj and Tell el-Hayyat, contribute to an ongoing revision of Early and Middle Bronze Age Levantine chronologies and uncoupling of their attendant interpretive links between the Southern Levant and Egypt.

The study aimed to identify the effect of playing electronic games on students' behavior in public schools in Jordan from the teachers’ point of view, and to achieve the aim of the study, the corresponding study tool was prepared and its validity and reliability were confirmed. The study sample consisted of a number of public school teachers in the Northern Jordan Valley. In the governorate of Irbid, who numbered (45) teachers, and they were chosen by the intentional method, the researcher used the qualitative approach to suit the nature of the study and its objectives, and the study reached the following results: The results of the interviews of the respondents showed that there are unusual behaviors that appeared on students as a result of their merging with electronic games and this What all the interviewed individuals indicated, and the majority of the study sample indicated that there are changes in students ’behavior such as irritation, violence, hitting, blind imitation of some wrong behaviors, immoral habits and negative habits that affected their social habits with their peers, and most of the respondents indicated that the academic achievement of students who Playing electronic games has clearly decreased, and in light of the results of the study, the researcher presented many m The recommendations include conducting many studies and research on the impact of electronic games at different age stages, educating parents about the danger of electronic games on children, holding awareness and introducing workshops on the dangers and negatives of electronic games, highlighting the school’s role in addressing the problem of electronic games for students, by educating them and guiding them about the harms of this Games for their behaviors.

The study aimed to identify the digital readiness of school principals in The northern Jordan Valley in the light of the Corona pandemic and its impact on administration administrative tasks from the teachers' point of view, The researcher used the descriptive and analytical method, the tool is a questionnaire that distributed to a group of male and female teachers in public schools and those affiliated to the education directorates in the northern Jordan Valley, which numbered (180) teachers, who were chosen by simple random method, The results of the study showed that the effect of digital readiness of school principals in the light of Corona pandemic in the administration of administrative tasks on an overall average (3.88 out of 5), i.e. an approval degree of readiness (high), There are no statistically significant differences between the arithmetic means of the responses of the sample members to the tool as a whole due to variables (gender, experience, educational qualification), In light of the results, the researcher recommended the necessity of holding workshops and training courses for teachers and school principals to help them use the computer and the Internet efficiently and effectively to deal with the requirements and strategies of digital learning, in addition to supporting the digital readiness of school principals to maintain the permanence and continuity of education in the Jordan Valley and throughout the Kingdom of Jordan and the Arab countries.

We investigated the feasibility of using Melanopsis shells as radiocarbon chronometers of paleolakes and springs in the Jordan Valley, Israel. For this purpose, we analyzed the 14C content of aragonite of living Melanopsis shells from different freshwater bodies of the northern Jordan Valley and Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee) and compared them to the contemporaneous water values. The Melanopsis shells are in 14C equilibrium with their habitat waters, allowing to specify a particular reservoir age for various water types. We measured ∼750 yr for Lake Kinneret, ∼2300 yr for northern Jordan, ∼4600 yr for springs in the north Kinneret, and ∼7200 yr for streams flowing directly from carbonate aquifers. These results were tested and corroborated by analyzing fossil Melanopsis shells of known age, measured on contemporaneous organic matter. We conclude that Melanopsis shells are reliable 14C chronometers and have the potential to be used as paleohydrological tracers.

A young farmer from Northern Jordan Valley in close contact with sheep was infected acci- dentally in early May 2014 with the larvae of oestrus ovis. The deposition of larvae in his eye lead to inflammation accompanied with severe pain and irritation. The inflammatory signs disappeared five days after receiving the medical care. The infection is more prevalent in almost all ages of males. External ophthal- momyiasis should be considered in susceptible individuals when in contact with sheep or other ruminant species.
