Abstract

General Background: Understanding the relationship between area and perimeter requires more than formula use; it demands conceptual reasoning and informal proving in elementary mathematics. Specific Background: Action proof with manipulative objects offers a concrete pathway for students to test conjectures, yet many struggle to form accurate mathematical conjectures during such activities. Knowledge Gap: Limited studies describe how counter-examples guide elementary students through stages of revising primitive conjectures into more comprehensive proofs. Aims: This study analyzes stages of students’ action proof when stimulated by counter-examples using manipulatives. Results: Both low- and high-ability students initially formed incorrect primitive conjectures; confronting counter-examples prompted revision, and re-examination led to a more comprehensive conjecture that increased area does not always change perimeter. Novelty: The study details a three-stage action proof process showing how counter-examples function as cognitive triggers for refining conjectures in elementary geometry. Implications: Findings inform instructional strategies for teaching informal proof and conceptual reasoning through manipulatives in elementary classrooms. Highlights: Counter-examples prompted revision of students’ primitive conjectures. Manipulatives supported concrete representation during informal proof stages. Re-examination led to a comprehensive conjecture about area–perimeter relations. Keywords: Counter-Example, Action Proof, Manipulative Objects, Area And Perimeter, Elementary Mathematics

Abstract

General Background: Academic hope and psychological resilience are central constructs in positive psychology that support students’ adaptation and goal attainment in higher education. Specific Background: University students frequently encounter academic pressures that require cognitive motivation and emotional regulation to sustain performance. Knowledge Gap: Although both constructs are widely studied, limited empirical research has examined their relationship within the context of Iraqi university students. Aim: This study aimed to identify levels of academic hope and psychological resilience and examine their correlational relationship among university students. Results: Using a descriptive correlational design with a stratified random sample of 400 students, findings indicated that students demonstrated high levels of academic hope and psychological resilience, with no significant gender differences in either variable. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between academic hope and psychological resilience. Novelty: The study provides empirical evidence from an Iraqi university context using validated psychometric scales grounded in Snyder’s and Grotberg’s theoretical frameworks. Implications: The findings suggest that fostering academic hope alongside psychological resilience may support students’ academic persistence and psychological well-being in higher education settings. Highlights: University students demonstrate high academic hope and resilience. No significant gender differences were identified. Academic hope is positively correlated with psychological resilience. Keywords: Academic Hope; Psychological Resilience; University Students; Positive Psychology; Higher Education

Abstract

General Background: Psychological factors play a central role in athletic performance, particularly in individual sports requiring high personal responsibility. Specific Background: Perceived self-efficacy and psychological resilience are considered core constructs in sport psychology, yet empirical examination among track and field athletes in Iraq remains limited. Knowledge Gap: Few studies have constructed validated measurement tools tailored to this population while simultaneously examining the predictive relationship between these two psychological variables. Aims: This study aimed to develop and validate scales for perceived self-efficacy and psychological resilience and to examine their correlational and predictive relationship among Iraqi Athletics League athletes (2023–2024). Results: Findings revealed high levels of perceived self-efficacy (M = 136.312) and psychological resilience (M = 173.517), with a significant positive correlation (r = 0.661, p < 0.05). Regression analysis indicated that psychological resilience significantly predicts perceived self-efficacy (Self-Efficacy = 17.526 + 0.232 × Resilience). Novelty: The study provides newly validated sport-specific scales and empirical evidence of a predictive psychological model in track and field athletes. Implications: Integrating structured psychological preparation programs into athletic training is recommended to support performance stability and competitive readiness. Highlights: High levels of self-efficacy and resilience were identified among athletes. A strong positive correlation (r = 0.661) was confirmed. Psychological resilience significantly predicts perceived self-efficacy. Keywords: Perceived Self-Efficacy; Psychological Resilience; Track and Field; Sport Psychology; Regression Analysis

Abstract

General Background: Religious moderation constitutes a strategic priority in Islamic education, requiring pedagogical approaches that cultivate tolerant, balanced, and contextual religious understanding among students in pluralistic societies. Specific Background: At MTs Darul Hikmah Sidoarjo, deep learning has been implemented in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) to encourage reflective, dialogical, and contextual engagement with religious values. Knowledge Gap: Although deep learning is theoretically aligned with constructivist and meaningful learning principles, limited empirical description exists regarding its classroom implementation in madrasah settings and its relation to students’ religious moderation attitudes. Aims: This study aims to describe the implementation of deep learning and analyze its contribution to strengthening students’ religious moderation attitudes. Results: Using a qualitative case study design with observation, interviews, and documentation, the findings indicate that problem-based learning, group dialogue, religious reflection, and analytical assignments foster deeper conceptual understanding of moderation values, including tolerance, justice, balance, and respect for differences. The study also reports increased openness toward diverse opinions, stronger commitment to fairness in religious practice, and reduced narrow fanaticism. Novelty: This research provides an in-depth qualitative account linking deep learning strategies with the internalization of religious moderation attitudes in a madrasah context. Implications: The findings recommend sustained integration of deep learning in PAI instruction to cultivate critical thinking, reflective awareness, and moderate religious character among secondary-level students. Highlights: Reflective and problem-oriented instruction promotes tolerance and fairness in classroom religious discourse. Dialogical activities cultivate balanced perspectives and respect for socio-religious diversity. Analytical and contextual tasks reduce narrow fanatic tendencies among eighth-grade learners.
