Promoting Positive Behaviors Among the Lower Primary School Students

The present study aimed to explore the role of family and school in promoting positive behaviors among the lower primary school students enrolled in the American Community School. It aimed to identify the methods of promoting positive behaviors among those students from the perspective of school principals, teachers, parents, and the lower primary school students.  It was found that the (responsive classroom) approach is adopted by the American Community School for promoting positive behaviors among the lower primary school students. Adopting this approach enables teachers to create a positive environment in the whole school in general and classrooms in particular. It has a positive impact on students’ academic achievement and self-discipline. It participates in delivering education of high quality. Based on the latter approach, it’s very important to develop students’ social-emotional skills. Such skills include: (taking responsibility, respecting others’ opinions and self-confidence). Based on the latter approach, it’s very important to develop students’ cognitive-academic skills and promote knowledge about the teaching methods. Based on the latter approach, cognitive development occurs through social interaction. This approach can be adopted for promoting positive behaviors among the lower primary school students.The researchers recommend adopting the (responsive classroom) approach for promoting positive behaviors among the lower primary school students. They recommend providing more attention to the provision of training courses for teachers and parents about the methods of promoting positive behaviors among the lower primary school students.  They recommend conducting similar studies that target other school stages, such as: the secondary stage.

It aims to identify such aspects with presuming that every act and saying of Prophet Mohammad (May peace be upon him) as a comprehensive constitution. This constitution can be used as a guide on education and its methods.

The Capability to Predict the Behaviors of the Students Enrolled in Jordanian Universities Through Their Aesthetic Values

The present study aimed to explore the extent of adopting aesthetic values and doing good behaviors by the students enrolled in Jordanian universities from the perspective of faculty members. It aimed to explore the capability to predict the behaviors of the students enrolled in Jordanian universities through their aesthetic values. A descriptive analytical approach was adopted. In addition, a correlative approach was adopted too. A questionnaire was used for collecting data from 364 female and male faculty members. Those faculty members were selected from (private and public) Jordanian universities. The questionnaire sheds a light on four areas; (the social, behavioral, psychological and affective) areas. It was found that the extent of adopting aesthetic values by the students enrolled in Jordanian universities is moderate from the perspective of faculty members.

That means that additional efforts must be exerted by decision makers and educators in order to promote good behaviors and aesthetic values among students in Jordanian universities. It was found that there is a strong correlative relationship between the aesthetic values and the behaviors of the students enrolled in Jordanian universities. That is because the correlative coefficient value is 0.84 and the value of the total sum of squares is 0.68. That means that 68% of the changes in the students’ behaviors are attributed to the aesthetic values. That means that the behaviors of the students enrolled in Jordanian universities can be significantly predicted through their aesthetic values.
