The study detects the reasons behind these mistakes so that the teachers are made aware of them during the teaching process. It also helps take them into consideration in the process of syllabus design.</p> <p>The study uses the descriptive analytical method. The research sample is a number of university students learning Persian language at the Iranian Culture Center in the city of Lattakia. The chosen sample is particularly important because it represents highly motivated learners who are not obliged to learn Persian since it is not part of their academic curriculum.</p> <p>The material subject to analysis is the final written exams given by learners of beginner, intermediate, and advanced proficiency levels. The importance of selecting written exams as research material springs from the fact that they genuinely display the learners' linguistic efforts. They can also help determine the learners' weaknesses by narrowing down their mistakes to the most frequently made and the reasons behind them.</p> <p>The framework of the study is divided into: a theoretical section, which provides a definition of mistake analysis، its stages، and its practical objective; an empirical section, which consists of an applied study which includes determining the sample, collecting it, and sorting out the different kinds of the learners' mistakes and their frequency by resorting to statistical processes.</p> <p>The study has shown different kinds of mistakes in the learners' writing, grammatical, morphological, and semantic. It clearly shows that spelling mistakes are the most frequent ones in the Arab learners' writing، which can be attributed to language interference (also known as L1 interference), which "in reality means drawing the learner's linguistic experience from the mother tongue to the language being learned."</p> Rana Jouni Copyright (c) 2024 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://journal.tishreen.edu.sy/index.php/humlitr/article/view/18571 Mon, 06 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Social skills required for the social worker to work with criminals from the point of view of the counselors https://journal.tishreen.edu.sy/index.php/humlitr/article/view/18630 <p>The research aimed to identify the social skills that must be available for the social counselor to work with perpetrators of the criminal act from the counselors' point of view, and to measure the differences between the average scores of the research sample members' answers in the questionnaire of the social skills that must be available for the social counselor's work according to the variables: (gender, educational qualification).

Writers have contributed to producing discourses and riddles extracted from its manifestations. The study relied on analyzing those selected texts that occupied a significant space in tales, maqamat, and others, with a focus on the cultural contexts that contributed to shaping the presence of the monkey as a multidimensional symbol. The study aims to answer major questions, most notably: How is the monkey used as a symbol that reflects societal and human issues? What are the cultural values ​​that appear by resorting to these representations? The presence of the monkey establishes a pattern of implications that reveal the wealth of human knowledge. The Arab's observations have contributed to bridging the knowledge gap, recording human memory, and proving its experiences in roaming the animal world. The semiotic approach has been used as an analytical tool to decipher signals, codes, and signs in the texts under study, which has allowed the exploration of human statements with psychological and emotional connotations that were reflected in those texts, as the monkey is associated with the symbolism of betrayal, treachery, intelligence, insight, the ability to imitate and simulate, and class struggle, in addition to being a sign of gain and livelihood.</p> <p>In short: The monkey in its literary manifestation has transcended the usual vision as a sarcastic symbol to become an aesthetic tool for reading intertwined and complex human interactions and revealing diverse human values.</p> Fatima Hassan AlSarahni, Fatima Ibrahim Muhaisen Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://journal.tishreen.edu.sy/index.php/humlitr/article/view/19038 Mon, 06 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000 The Effectiveness of Using the Climbing Plateau Strategy on Acquiring Geometric Mathematical Concepts and Reducing Math Anxiety among Tenth Grade Students in Jordan https://journal.tishreen.edu.sy/index.php/humlitr/article/view/18767 <p>This study aimed to verify the effectiveness of using the climbing plateau strategy on acquiring geometric mathematical concepts and reducing math anxiety among tenth grade students in Jordan, the study used a quasi-experimental design.

And he was influenced by his teacher, Socrates, in the philosophy of the concept. In this research, I tried to explore his philosophy of beauty through the arts and their types. Good art, as I spoke in the research, is beneficial to the individual and the state. I also tried to overcome obstacles in the theory of participation through art, which Plato sees as an incomplete simulation. In some cases, we cannot understand Plato's philosophy as a contradiction in its literalness, as it takes in its generality and not in its specificity. The subject of sharing between the material and ideal worlds has a lot of contradiction.</p> Alaa Nasser Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://journal.tishreen.edu.sy/index.php/humlitr/article/view/18188 Mon, 13 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000 The work of adud al dawleh al buwaihi civilized state in Iraq 337-372) /949-983 AD) https://journal.tishreen.edu.sy/index.php/humlitr/article/view/17871 <p>The Buyid state in Iraq during the time of Abdu Al Dawla was distinguished by a characteristic that was rarely available in other states,which was that its men were people of knowledge and liter ature <br />During his reign ,the state reached great importance and witnessed remarkable achievements,after his entry into Baghdad he began rebuiliding the demolished mosques and markets , he was keen to make bimaristan a school for teaching medicine and a home for treating patients,so the medical industry advanced during his reign,he also paid attention to building mosques,especially university mosques,due to his awarenesse of their scientific role as a center of scientific and intellectual life ,he also expanded some mosques and built many of them in baghdad ,allocating huge sums of money to them,he gave the shiite mosques the greatest attention, building a mosque over the grave of Imam Ali bin Abi Talib and a mosque over the grave of Hussein bin Ali in Karbala,Scientific life also witnessed widespread prosperity during his reign and scholars became close to him and he lavished gifts on them,his council was a forum in which jurists ,hadith scholar ,writes ,poest,doctors ,and engineers gathered ,scientific discussions would take place in his presence and each expert would give his opinion,and Adud al Dawla would participate with them in these discussions ,Asfor his interest in literature and poetry ,it was so great that he used to gather poets honor them,and listen to their poems on of the most famousl literary scholars during his reign was Abu Abdullah alMazrabani ,the auther of the book Al Mawdhid and Abu Al Qasim bin yusuf Al Shirazi ,who had the greatest impacton spreading the literary culture of his time,Thus the period of Adud al Dawla's Buyid rule in Irag was full of generosity through his great contribution to supporting the intellectual and scientific movement.</p> samar sakkour Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://journal.tishreen.edu.sy/index.php/humlitr/article/view/17871 Mon, 13 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Characteristics of Intellectual Production of Academic Journals at Tishreen University: A Bibliometric Study of the Journal of Arts and Humanities Series 2015 - https://journal.tishreen.edu.sy/index.php/humlitr/article/view/18625 <p>scientific production has become one of the important topics because of its role in knowing the characteristics of published research and finding out the weaknesses in this production and</p> <p>trying to evaluate it .</p> <p>The study aims at analyzing the journal of literature and humanities issued by, journal of tishreen university, and identify the features of the journal's intellectual production since 2015 to 2023, it also aims at monitoring the numerical, qualitative.

Roughly, Gen Z is the world demographic born between 1996 and the early 2000s. Due to globalization and the emergence of social media as a hub of intermingling ideologies, cultures, and languages; multilingual Gen Z’ers seem to be inclined to perform patterned and systematic code mixing and switching in a variety of contexts and domains. Instagram direct messages were chosen for the intimate and ‘safe’ environment they provide participants, facilitating their patterned use of code mixing and switching. Adopting James Paul Gee’s model of Discourse, this quantitative-qualitative study outlines the form-function correlations prevalent in the participants’ social language, connecting their discourse to identity construction. This study also adopts the Myers-Scotton model to determine how meaning is negotiated among participants of this Gen Z Discourse. The current study found that participants of this Discourse systematically and strategically employ code switching / mixing in their speech for a variety of purposes, chief among which are topic shifts and lexical gaps, emotional intensity of domain, change in tone, as well as stance expression. Furthermore, code switching / mixing instances occur when participants are discussing gossip, social activities, and opinions of others. It should be noted that the forms under analysis in this article are restricted to code switching and code mixing.</p> Sara Attaf Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://journal.tishreen.edu.sy/index.php/humlitr/article/view/18967 Mon, 13 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Durability, Intuition, and Vision in Bergson's Philosophy https://journal.tishreen.edu.sy/index.php/humlitr/article/view/18632 <p><strong>Research Methodology:</strong>The intellectual methodology in this research will combine both rational and historical approaches aimed at defining the concepts and ideas presented by Bergson and deducing what is beneficial. Our choice of the historical method intends to trace Bergson's concepts back to their original sources, seeking to determine the spirit to which they belong by returning to their French roots.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions and Recommendations:</strong>This research aims to shed light on one of the most significant contemporary philosophies, not only in the context of French philosophy but in the broader scope of modern philosophy as a whole. We have attempted to clarify the intricate relationship between vision, durability, and time.</p> <p>When Bergson discusses the concepts of vision and intuition, he embodies them with meanings and implications that are inexhaustible and constantly evolving, reflecting new meanings consistent with the spirit of the era in which the vision is defined, striving to express itself through a wide array of concepts that the philosopher innovates. These concepts serve as precise articulations of the problems he encounters and works diligently to address while proposing suitable solutions.</p> <p>Hence, Bergson endeavored to outline the features of what he called the vision method, ensuring it aligns with the evolutionist doctrine amidst the intense debates involving philosophers and scientists within the French cultural milieu, who were categorized under three philosophical currents: the spiritual current, the vital current, and the evolutionary current.</p> Zainab Hassan Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://journal.tishreen.edu.sy/index.php/humlitr/article/view/18632 Mon, 13 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Islamic Coins and Their Importance in the Study of Islamic History and Archaeology. https://journal.tishreen.edu.sy/index.php/humlitr/article/view/18623 <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>This study included Islamic money, its cultural role and history, and included the science of coins or money. It shed light on the importance of the invention of money, clarified the presence of currency in Islamic sources, showed the types of currency used and the manufacture of money, touched on the counterfeiting and adulteration of currency and the motives behind these fraudulent operations, and mentioned the types of counterfeit money...</p> <p><strong>Importance of the Research:</strong>The significance of this study lies in providing a clear picture of coins and their role in facilitating transactions. It emphasizes the importance of coins and the history of their development, outlining the stages of coin manufacturing and illustrating the patterns of currency, such as dinars, dirhams, and fals. It also discusses methods of counterfeiting and forgery, as well as the reasons behind the resort to currency fraud.</p> <p><strong>Research Problem:</strong> This research aims to shed light on coins and their importance in studying history, as coins contribute to enriching historical knowledge in both ancient and modern countries, especially when documents become silent and unable to express or convey information. The research revolves around several important questions:</p> <ol> <li class="show">What is the significance of coins in the study of history?</li> <li class="show">What are the main categories of currency, and what is the role of money in Islamic sources?</li> <li class="show">What are the reasons or motivations for using forgery and counterfeiting methods in currency?</li> </ol> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> From the above, we can see that the importance of this research lies in the information it provides about coins, their types, methods of coin production, and their role in historical studies. It helps to fill the gaps that sometimes arise due to the loss of documents during certain historical periods. Thus, coins serve as the element that completes some parts of historical deficiency, and the invention of coins is a significant historical event, no less important than the invention of writing.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> dhiya al-dinshafoor, Ghada Hassan, Sherine Hamouda Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://journal.tishreen.edu.sy/index.php/humlitr/article/view/18623 Mon, 13 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000 The Religious Reform movement in Europe and its most famous pioneers https://journal.tishreen.edu.sy/index.php/humlitr/article/view/18617 <p><strong>The reformation movement in Europe did not occur suddrenly, Rather the catholic church was subjected to several reform movementes over the previous centuries, but it was going through them</strong> <strong>peacefully until the&nbsp; sixtieenth century AD came when the papacy lost its prestige, the popes became agroup that owned and collected money and cared about it more than they cared about the affaires of the church, as it became their own interests, and the interests of their relatives and those in whom they seek refuge have also become their concerns to a greater extent than matters of doctrine and the catholic church, which prompted thinkers and reformers to research the conditions of the catholic church and the necessity of reforming itself on its own from the inside, and in the event that it is unable toreform internally, reform is imposed on it from the outside, and it must accept that, despite what is imposed, one of the means of reform since it was not able to do so on its own.</strong></p> <p><strong>The religious revolution began in Germany because the philosophy of theology and religious beliefs were more firmly established there than in Italy, where the headquarters of the papacy was. </strong></p> Atef khozama, Ayman Salat Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://journal.tishreen.edu.sy/index.php/humlitr/article/view/18617 Mon, 13 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Social representations of mental illness among psychological counseling students https://journal.tishreen.edu.sy/index.php/humlitr/article/view/18649 <p>The current research aims to identify the social representations of mental illness among a sample of psychological counseling students at Tishreen University (first year). The sample consisted of (10) students. The descriptive approach was adopted in the research, and The sample was drawn randomly and the associative network technique of Maria De Rosa in 1995 was used. The results showed that the representations were generally negative and that the word (loneliness) was the most frequent word and constitutes the central nucleus of the social representation of mental illness, as it is the most frequent and important word and therefore It is the most stable among the sample members and is 100% with a negative trend, as classified by the sample members.</p> <p> As for the first peripheral system, it includes the words (acceptance, responsibility, isolation, needs help, needs treatment, madness, depression, interest, deficiency), and all the words had a positive trend in a large percentage except for the words (isolation, needs help, widespread), which he classified. Sample members thought that the word had a negative attitude and the word (needs treatment) had a neutral attitude.</p> <p> As for the second peripheral system of representation, it contains the words (lack, shame, normal, disability, integration, support, no treatment, violence, need of care, injustice, homelessness, fear, backwardness, disorder, burden, denial), which are words repeated only once. </p> shiren altazah, Ansab charrouf Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://journal.tishreen.edu.sy/index.php/humlitr/article/view/18649 Mon, 13 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Building and grading a question bank for mathematics in the fifth grade According to the single response theory https://journal.tishreen.edu.sy/index.php/humlitr/article/view/18187 <p>The current research aims to build and calibration a question bank for mathematics in the fifth grade using item response theory. To achieve this, five achievement tests were designed, each consisting of (25) items in the five study units in mathematics. Then the tests were applied to a sample of (500) male and female students in the fifth grade, after verifying the characteristics of items response theory. The results showed that we obtained a bank consisting of (96) items after deleting the inappropriate items within the suitability limits. The minimum ability was (-1.53) and the maximum was (1.76) with an average difficulty of zero and a standard deviation of (0.96), noting that all values are estimated in the logit unit. In light of the research results, it was proposed to adopt the included question bank to develop questions for mathematics in the fifth grade.

These skills include critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication, and the use of technology. The researcher employed a descriptive-analytical approach, distributing a questionnaire consisting of 58 items to a sample of 214 teachers. The findings revealed that the level of teachers’ practice of these skills was generally moderate. Creativity and innovation skills ranked highest among the skills practiced by teachers, followed by life skills, then communication and collaboration skills. On the other hand, critical thinking and problem-solving skills, along with information technology skills, were the least practiced.</p> <p>These results were attributed to multiple factors, including weak professional qualifications among teachers, a lack of appropriate educational resources, and overcrowded classrooms. Additionally, the researcher highlighted the impact of social and economic conditions, including the educational crises caused by the war, which adversely affected the educational environment.</p> <p>The study recommended providing comprehensive training programs for teachers focusing on developing 21st-century skills and integrating these skills into teacher preparation programs and school curricula. It also emphasized the need to improve the physical environment of schools and ensure the availability of necessary technological resources. Furthermore, the study called for additional research to include the perspectives of students and school administrators for a deeper analysis of these practices. This study underscores the urgent need to enhance the quality of education amid current challenges by empowering teachers to apply modern skills required for 21st-century educational processes.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> Yehia Ajeeb, Khodor Ali, Mutieah Ahmad Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://journal.tishreen.edu.sy/index.php/humlitr/article/view/18817 Mon, 13 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Manifestations of the intellectual's personality in the Syrian rural novel https://journal.tishreen.edu.sy/index.php/humlitr/article/view/16468 <p>This research attempts to approach the manifestations of the intellectual’s personality in the Syrian Arab novel in the second half of the twentieth century, based on the importance of the personality element in the architecture of the novel as a literary genre, and the role of this element in providing the novel with one of the most important components of the artistic structure, and the aesthetics of this structure; The study of the character of the intellectual in the Syrian Arab novel has intellectual and artistic dimensions, due to the possibility of a connection between the novel as a literary art and its social and cultural references.</p> <p>The research focused on studying the educated character in the Syrian novel that deals with the Syrian Arab countryside by a group of Syrian novelists.

Al-Akhtal is one of the poets who experienced this conflict as a result of many reasons. He is of a different religion, different mentality, and affiliation, and this is what appeared in his poetry in multiple aspects. The religious conflict appears through the remnants of the poem in the self, and the framing of the tendencies of this conflict between instincts and their inhibitors, and between worldly and religious matters, and we find the cultural conflict represented by the difference in ideologies and intellectual matters that radiate thought and the glows of Arab civilization.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The social conflict manifested itself in the class struggle between the rich and the poor, between officials of authority and the general public, and between the various societal forces that had their presence and influence in Arab life in general.

This allowed them to enjoy positions that were reserved for Arabs only before, whether at the state level or At the level of society with its various facilities, and sometimes they aspired to more than that, and the contact of the Abbasids with the Persians resulted in customs and traditions that included various aspects of social life, such as food, clothing, and drink, Even in the Persian holidays, they recognized them, such as Nowruz and the festival, and the matter developed until the most correct caliphs celebrated these holidays. All of this led to an increase in the influence of the Persians in Abbasid society. The role of the Persians in the establishment of the Abbasid state was clarified, as the Khorasan origin of the Abbasid call and their support for it was accomplished. As a result of the friction between the Persians and the Arabs, the Arabs took away from them aspects of amusement, namely games, singing gatherings, manifestations of pomp and greatness, and others that were studied.</p> <p>The Persian influence was also clearly evident in social customs such as veiling, the colors of food, clothing and adornment traditions, and palace construction.</p> <p>The choice of this research stems from the fact that political studies have received considerable attention without delving into social conditions, in order to highlight some of the positive and negative aspects of Persian influence.</p> <p>The social life during the Abbasid era, which is the focus of this study, underwent significant transformations that affected various social aspects due to the substantial Persian influence and the esteemed position the Persians held among the Abbasid caliphs.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Rasha Al Awki, wafa' sarim, Ramya Jami Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://journal.tishreen.edu.sy/index.php/humlitr/article/view/18579 Mon, 13 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Social impacts of children's use of the digital world https://journal.tishreen.edu.sy/index.php/humlitr/article/view/18372 <p>The digital world (the Internet) is one of the most important diversities of the contemporary century, and it can reach everywhere, at any time.

Hegel emphasizes that philosophical truth is only presented within an integrated logical system that reflects inclusivity and universality. The research examines the concept of philosophy as a science of the absolute idea and highlights Hegel's approach to connecting thought with reality through the notion of experience, which represents a pivotal point in understanding the relationship between philosophy and the sciences.</p> <p>The study has been revised to address its weaknesses by incorporating a critical perspective on Hegel's system compared to modern experimental sciences and clarifying the challenges his philosophy faces in light of contemporary scientific developments, including sciences that rely on statistical and probabilistic models. Additionally, a comparative discussion between Hegel and other philosophers, such as Kant and Nietzsche, has been introduced to broaden the analytical scope and highlight points of divergence among them.</p> <p>The research underscores the importance of Hegel's philosophy as a comprehensive framework for understanding the relationship between the particular and the universal, with a focus on the dialectical laws that drive thought and spirit towards self-realization in successive stages. It also discusses the distinction between philosophy and experimental sciences, referencing Hegel's principle of experience and how he addresses experimental subjects compared to reflective intellectual issues.</p> <p>The study concludes with a critical analysis of Hegel's contribution to linking reason with the absolute, recommending an expansion of Hegel's philosophy to include its applications in the humanities and social sciences, thereby enhancing its academic value in contemporary contexts.</p> Nisren Ismael, Monzer Shbani Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://journal.tishreen.edu.sy/index.php/humlitr/article/view/17307 Mon, 13 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000 The degree of use the" story" feature in social media to express the emotional state of its users (A field study on a sample of Postgraduate Students at the Faculty of Education at Tishreen University) https://journal.tishreen.edu.sy/index.php/humlitr/article/view/18493 <p>The current study aimed to identify the degree of use of the story feature on social networking sites to express emotional state, among a sample of postgraduate students at the Faculty of Education at Tishreen University.
