Abstract

General Background: Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are pivotal to economic development, yet often struggle with financial inefficiencies. Specific Background: In Arab countries such as Egypt, Jordan, and Iraq, SMEs face compounded challenges due to outdated financial practices and limited technological integration. Knowledge Gap: While AIS benefits are well documented in developed economies, limited comparative research exists on their impact in Arab SMEs, particularly regarding performance metrics and adoption barriers. Aims: This study investigates the influence of Accounting Information Systems (AIS) on financial performance, operational efficiency, and decision-making among SMEs in Egypt, Jordan, and Iraq. Results: Using mixed methods, the study reveals that AIS adoption significantly improves financial reporting accuracy (up to 50% error reduction), saves 12–20 weekly hours on financial tasks, and lowers operational costs by 18–25% annually. Regression analysis confirms statistically significant positive impacts across all metrics, strongest in Egypt, moderate in Jordan, and weakest in Iraq due to infrastructural and political constraints. Novelty: The study offers a cross-country comparative analysis within the Arab context and develops a model linking AIS adoption to specific performance outcomes. Implications: Findings support targeted policy interventions, training programs, and infrastructure development to enhance AIS adoption, thus strengthening SME competitiveness and regional economic resilience.Highlight : AIS adoption improved financial accuracy, cut costs by up to 25%, and saved 12–20 hours weekly. Key barriers include high implementation costs, skill gaps, and resistance to change. Egypt showed the strongest AIS benefits; Iraq lagged due to infrastructure and political issues.

Abstract

General Background: Critical thinking is foundational in mathematics education, especially in probabilistic reasoning, which underpins decision-making under uncertainty. Specific Background: Despite its relevance, probability theory is often taught procedurally rather than conceptually, limiting students' reasoning skills. Knowledge Gap: Existing studies rarely integrate cognitive pedagogy with probability instruction, particularly in under-researched educational contexts like Uzbekistan. Aims: This study aims to evaluate the impact of a pedagogical model—incorporating inquiry, paradox analysis, and reflection—on developing tenth-grade students’ critical thinking in probability. Results: Using a quasi-experimental design, the intervention group significantly outperformed the control group in post-test scores (83.1 vs. 70.2), with a large effect size (Cohen’s d = 1.12). Improvements were particularly strong in logical inference, assumption evaluation, and problem analysis. Novelty: This research uniquely applies metacognitive strategies to probabilistic education within a context lacking prior integrative frameworks. Implications: Findings suggest that embedding critical thinking in probability instruction not only enhances cognitive skills but also supports broader curriculum reform and teacher development. The model holds promise for adaptation across diverse educational settings, contributing to a deeper, more transferable understanding of mathematics.HIghlight : Significant Skill Gains – Students in the experimental group improved critical thinking scores by over 20 points, nearly triple the control group’s gains. Active Learning Methods – Paradox analysis, reflection, and inquiry-based tasks fostered deeper reasoning and better problem-solving in probability. Educational Reform Implications – The study supports shifting from rote teaching to metacognitive, student-centered strategies in math instruction. Keywords : Critical Thinking, Probability Theory, Inquiry Learning, Problem Solving, Metacognitive Strategy
