Objective(s): To assess Baghdad University students’ knowledge and attitudes toward HIV/AIDS, and to find out
the relationship of Baghdad University students’ knowledge and attitudes with certain variables (gender,
socioeconomic status, field of study).
Methodology: A descriptive analytic study was used to assess the knowledge and attitudes of Baghdad University
Students’ toward HIV/AIDS. The study was conducted (November 1st 2012 to July 15th 2013). A non-probability
(purposive sample) of 400 students (males-138 and females-262) were selected from four colleges and they were
in the fourth class, a probability (stratified random) method was used to select four colleges at University of
Baghdad as a study setting. The data was collected for the present study through the self-filling technique by using
the questionnaire that designed by the researchers. Validity through a panel of (16) experts and the reliability of
the questionnaire is determined through the pilot study.
Results: The findings of present study revealed that the majority of the study samples were female (65.5%),
(45.0%) of them were at age 22 yrs. the majority of them (85.8%) were unmarried (single), (50.2%) of them were
from scientific field, (32%) of them were selected from English language department, the vast majority (92.8%) of
them were urban residency, the majority of them (41.5%) were from moderate & (41.0%) were from high socio
economic class. The assessment of knowledge is not affected by demographic characteristic except (field of study,
and department, as well as occupation of student’s father). Also the results showed that students’ knowledge
about AIDS was good/ or adequate, as for their attitudes toward patients with AIDS were negative.
Recommendations: The study recommended to increased students’ awareness through the mass media about the
risks of this disease and how to prevent it. Increase lectures and discussions about HIV/AIDS that increase
students’ information.
The current research aims to investigate the effect of a specimen of Daniel in the acquisition of concepts for the Arabic language curricula material to the students of the third phase of the Faculty of Basic Education Department of Arabic Language. The sample consists of (93) applications and a student of (47) students in the Division (A), which represents the experimental group which studied the use of a specimen of Daniel, and (46) students in the Division (B), which represents the control group, which studied the traditional way. The subject of unified two groups, which subjects the Arabic language curricula which includes six chapters.
The duration of the experiment is a full semester. The researchers also prepared a tool for mea
