secondary school girls

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a project-based learning strategy utilizing digital platforms in developing the analytical writing skills of female secondary school students. The study employed a quasi-experimental approach, with a sample consisting of 60 eleventh-grade students from Al-Nuzha Secondary Mixed School, under the Qwaismeh Directorate. The participants were divided equally into two groups: an experimental group (n = 30) and a control group (n = 30). Data were gathered by administering a pre- and post-test of analytical writing to the study sample.The results revealed statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group in the pre- and post-assessments of the analytical writing test, favoring the post-test with a mean value of 32.23. Furthermore, statistically significant differences were observed at the significance level (α = 0.05) among the students’ mean scores across the specific dimensions of analytical writing (text introduction, text body, text conclusion, and text coherence). Notably, highly significant differences were detected at the significance level (p = 0.000) in the post-assessment of both the "text body" and "text coherence" dimensions. Based on these findings, the study recommends developing specialized educational digital platforms for the Ministry of Education and integrating them with school textbooks, while emphasizing the necessity of training teachers to effectively utilize and implement these platforms in the educational process, particularly for teaching language. skills.

Abstract Internalizing disorders are the most common adolescent mental disorders. Using complementary variable-centered and person-centered approaches, we examined whether internalizing symptoms across eight years of adolescence (Grades 5–12) followed a continuous developmental trend or were disrupted by the transition to secondary school, and if different subgroups followed different pathways. Participants were 701 Canadian youth (52.9% girls; 75.9% white). Annual self-reported internalizing symptoms (ages 11–18) were examined using piecewise latent growth curve analysis (LGCM), revealing significant curve and level discontinuity at the transition, with distinct developmental phases in elementary and secondary school. Girls, youth with lower household income, and those with higher bullying victimization and lower social support showed elevated symptoms and/or steeper growth. An LGCM yielded four classes: Low (51.8%), Moderate (32.5%), Increasing (10.6%), and Declining (5.1%). The Declining and Moderate classes had comparable risk for early adulthood outcomes, demonstrating equifinality. Although beginning with similar levels, the Increasing class was at elevated risk compared to the Moderate class, demonstrating multifinality. Findings underscore that the secondary school transition can be viewed as a transition-linked turning point for a subset of adolescents, with implications for targeted screening and intervention beginning in elementary school.

اختلالات درونی‌سازی شایع‌ترین اختلالات روانی در نوجوانان هستند. با استفاده از رویکردهای مکمل مبتنی بر متغیر و مبتنی بر فرد، بررسی کردیم که آیا نشانه‌های درونی‌سازی در طول هشت سال نوجوانی (پایه‌های پنجم تا دوازدهم) روند رشدی پیوسته‌ای را دنبال می‌کنند یا با گذار به دبیرستان دچار اختلال می‌شوند و اینکه آیا زیرگروه‌های مختلف مسیرهای متفاوتی را دنبال می‌کنند. شرکت‌کنندگان شامل 701 نوجوان کانادایی (52.9٪ دختر؛ 75.9٪ سفیدپوست) بودند. نشانه‌های درونی‌سازی خودگزارش‌شده سالانه (سنین 11 تا 18 سال) با استفاده از تحلیل منحنی رشد نهفته قطعه‌ای (LGCM) بررسی شد که ناپیوستگی معنادار منحنی و سطح را در زمان گذار نشان داد و فازهای رشدی متمایزی را در دبستان و دبیرستان آشکار ساخت. دختران، نوجوانان با درآمد خانوادگی پایین‌تر و افرادی که قربانی‌پذیری بیشتری در برابر زورگویی و حمایت اجتماعی پایین‌تری داشتند، نشانه‌های بالاتر و/یا رشد تندتری را نشان دادند. تحلیل LGCM چهار طبقه را مشخص کرد: پایین (51.8٪)، متوسط (32.5٪)، افزایشی (10.6٪) و کاهشی (5.1٪). طبقات کاهشی و متوسط خطر قابل مقایسه‌ای برای پیامدهای اوایل بزرگسالی داشتند که هم‌نهایی را نشان می‌دهد. اگرچه با سطوح مشابهی آغاز شدند، طبقه افزایشی نسبت به طبقه متوسط در معرض خطر بالاتری قرار داشت که چندنهایی را نشان می‌دهد. یافته‌ها تأکید می‌کنند که گذار به دبیرستان می‌تواند به‌عنوان یک نقطه عطف مرتبط با گذار برای بخشی از نوجوانان تلقی شود و پیامدهایی برای غربالگری و مداخله هدفمند از دبستان دارد.
