The present study aims at knowing the effect of Woods' model in correcting the geographical missUnderstanding for first stage students. In order to realize the objective of this study, the researcher used an experimental design with partial adjustment which is experimental group with another control group. The research is confined to the first four chapters of the boon of the principles of geography to be studied for the first stage in the academic year (2010/2011) in Iraq. The researcher chooses purposely the chose a staple form the first stage in Hay Al-Jama'a School for boys, in order to apply the experiment. The total number of the sample was (60) students who were distributed randomly as (30)per group. The researcher matched two groups in terms of ( geography diagonal test, intelligence level, Age, parent education). Then, the researcher tried to adjust a series of variables that might affect the variable. The researcher conducted the research on two stages; diagonal stage: in which he tried to analyze the book matter under the experiment and the subjects of geography which were taught to the groups of students in previous years (fifth and sixth primary stages). The repeated concepts were derived in the first stage and the previous stages. They were (20) concepts on the basis of which a diagonal test was adopted the type of multiple choice to measure the level of understanding in the cognitive field of Bloom's classification. The number of items attained (20) items each item one. On that basis the test of the items of wrong understanding. If the error rate exceeded (%34) above for the sample. The validity and constancy was verified and he discriminatory power of the items and the difficulty coefficient. It turned out after analysis that there are (16)concepts of wrong understanding for the second stage, correction. The procedures of this was applied on a diagonal sample which had been already subdivided into two groups; the experimental group which is taught according to Wood's method and the control group which is taught according to traditional methods. After ending the study of the four chapters of the Geography book, and analyzing the data statistically by using Chi square, it was found that the excel of the experimental group which is taught according to Wood's model over the control group which is taught according to traditional methods. In the light of which the following was found: 1. The effectiveness of Wood's model in correcting the wrong concepts more than the traditional ones. 2. The conventional methods have helped only in a limited way to correct some of the wrong concepts for the first stage students. The researcher has come up with the following recommendations: 1. To use Woods' model in teaching the general principles of geography for its effectiveness in correcting the wrong concepts. 2. The necessity that teachers of geography to have knowledge in the teaching models like Woods' Model. 3. Familiarize geography teachers with the methods of diagnosing the wrong conception for students to correct them In the light of the results, the researcher comes up with suggestions like conducting studies in the effect of: 1. Woods' Model on other stages and materials. 2. Woods' Model in variables affiliated to like innovative thinking, motivation and acquisition of the scientific skills. 3. A comparison study between Woods' model and other models not depending on the constructive philosophy.

requirements of practical image systems. To reduce the increasing demand of storage
space and transmission time compression techniques are the need of the day. Discrete
time wavelet transforms based image codec using Set Partitioning In Hierarchical
Trees (SPIHT) is implemented in this paper. Mean Square Error (MSE), Peak Signal
to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Maximum Difference (MD) are used to measure the
picture quality of reconstructed image. MSE and PSNR are the most common picture
quality measures. Different kinds of test images are assessed in this work with
different compression ratios. The results show the high efficiency of SPIHT algori
