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.
A laboratory experiment has been carried out in the College of Science-University of Salahaddin to study the effect of different levels (0,5,10 and 15%) and sizes(250 and 1000µm) of walnut seeds residues and (160mg.kg-1) phosphorus fertilization on the concentration of phosphorus availability and alkaline phosphatase activity in calcareous soil during 15 and 30 days period of incubation, the experimental design in factorial complet randomize design (C.R.D) with three replications. The results indicated that the application of different levels of walnut seed residues decreases the concentration of phosphorus availability and alkaline phosphatase activity, however the results revealed that combination between levels and sizes o

In order to achieve overall balance in the economy to be achieved in different markets and at one time (market commodity, monetary and labor market and the balance of payments and public budget), did not provide yet a model from which to determine the overall balance in the economy and the difficulty of finding the inter-relationship between all these markets and put them applied in the form of allowing the identification of balance in all markets at once.
One of the best models that have dealt with this subject is a model

A reduplicative word is an important phenomenon in all language studies because it reflects many functions in language communication such as plurality, emphasis, contrast, imitation. The various instances of reduplicative words in a particular language reflect the richness and uniqueness of that language. Moreover, such variation gives insights into both culture and thought. A reduplicative word is a linguistic phenomenon found in the syntactic, morphological, phonological and semantic levels. The current study aims at investigating the illocutionary force of English reduplicative words in some selected English colloquial utterances. To achieve this aim, an analytical -pragmatic approach has been used by adopting Searle’s (1979)
