Variables of Upbringing in Islam: Methods and Characteristics
It is no longer hidden that religion plays a significant role in human social life and influences relationships within the same household, neighborhood, and region. Religious upbringing has become a fundamental topic in the principles of sociology and religious sciences. Numerous studies confirm the importance of upbringing in shaping an individual’s lifestyle and choices. Many philosophers have defined it in various ways, and despite the evolving and diverse approaches, the impact of religion and religiosity on human life remains a point of agreement among researchers throughout the development of educational and social thought. According to Max Weber, "Religion has a social function capable of driving change and social conflict, and it plays a comprehensive role in determining the forms and directions of social action in human activities." This article, which is a research effort conducted by the author during her dissertation preparation and approved by the supervising professor, presents the concept of upbringing in the Holy Quran and its impact on the behavior of Muslim individuals in general, with a specific focus on southern Lebanese society. The researcher seeks to uncover the influence of religious upbringing on parenting styles, the extent of adherence to them, and their control over the life of a Muslim individual. This academic article, supported by references from the Quran, Hadith, and scholarly works on upbringing, enumerates the educational methods practiced in Islam. These methods form a comprehensive school of thought that shapes an individual's personality, social interactions, and psychological well-being. The researcher references the habits of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) at times and the methods of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) at others. The aim is to understand these methods within Muslim families and propose solutions to facilitate social relationships between individuals. These solutions may already exist in the Quran and the Sunnah, but individuals may have unintentionally overlooked them due to various reasons, the most significant being the lack of practice and distancing from the essence of Islam and its authentic upbringing methods. Religious upbringing is a continuous process throughout life, aiming at a gradual and relative religious and social integration. It is also considered a means of acquiring an ideal personality through the practice of actions and behaviors aligned with Islamic standards, principles, ethical values, and inherited Islamic qualities. Religion is one of the subjects that sociology has studied and analyzed, examining its roots, causes, motivations, as well as the reasons for its decline, resurgence, and advancement, along with its role in various other issues

School environment and quality of education: What is the relationship?
It seems that the ‘reform experiments’ in education that most countries of the world have engaged in since the 1990s of the last century have not achieved qualitative changes in the educational landscape, as their results have not had any real impact on achieving quality in their outcomes. These countries have failed to make profound structural laws and policies, or to adopt new regulatory standards for their institutions based on a national strategic approach. Instead, they have continued to reproduce the same crises and failures in various forms.

The psychological effects of climate change on youth and their pro-environmental behaviors
Climate change affects people directly, affecting their physical and mental health, as well as the loss and destruction of their property and threatening their safety. It also affects their psyche indirectly, as they show signs of climate/environmental anxiety at multiple levels, including cognitive, emotional, and behavioral. While the feeling of climate/environmental anxiety is shared by all members of society, the results of most studies have shown that the highest levels of anxiety are recorded among young people. In this direction, our study aims to determine the level of climate/environmental anxiety among young people and its relationship with pro-environmental behaviors (individual and collective). The research sample included 194 young men and women, distributed by gender (17 young men (8.8%) and 177 young women (91.2%)). The age of the sample ranged from 19 to 28 years, with an average age of 20.20. Results showed a higher frequency of functional symptoms of anxiety in adolescents compared to cognitive, behavioral, and emotional symptoms. Adolescents reported engaging in more pro-environmental behaviors individually than in group activities. The results indicated that emotional and cognitive symptoms of environmental/climate anxiety have the potential to predict adolescents' adoption of proenvironmental behaviors

Internet Addiction and Its Relationship with Self-Management Among MiddleSchool Learners in Private Schools (Central Baalbek District) in Lebanon
This study aims to examine the relationship between Internet addiction and self-management among middle school students in the central district of Baalbek, Lebanon, in light of the increasing reliance of adolescents on digital technologies and their growing psychological and behavioral impacts. The study adopted a descriptive correlational methodology and utilized a closed-ended questionnaire based on a five-point Likert scale. The instrument consisted of 40 items distributed across two scales: The Internet Addiction Scale and the SelfManagement Scale, which comprises three dimensions: time management, stress and emotional regulation, and social relationship management. A stratified random sample of 737 students was selected from private, fee-paying middle schools in the central Baalbek district. The results revealed a statistically significant but weak inverse correlation between Internet addiction and self-management. Excessive Internet use negatively affected time management among both male and female students, and had a clear negative impact on stress and emotional regulation among females. Conversely, no significant effect was found on the management of social relationships. The findings also indicated that the negative impact of Internet addiction on self-management was more pronounced among younger age groups. Based on these findings, the study recommends the implementation of educational and awareness programs that enhance self-management skills and promote a culture of safe and responsible digital technology use among learners, in order to mitigate the effects of digital addiction and strengthen their organizational abilities in environments saturated with digital distractions.

School Violence and Its Manifestations: Between a Crisis of Values and theChallenge of Educational Reform
This study examines the phenomenon of school violence within the Moroccan context, framing it as a social indicator that reflects a profound crisis of values affecting both the educational institution and society as a whole, particularly in light of rapid social and digital transformations. The research approaches the issue from psychological, educational, and cultural perspectives, and explores its root causes and various forms especially digital violence (or cyberbullying), which increasingly threatens school life and the social fabric within educational settings in Morocco. The study is guided by a central research question: To what extent can school violence be considered a reflection of a values crisis in Moroccan schools? And what role do curricula and school life play in either mitigating or reinforcing this phenomenon? From this main question, a set of sub-questions emerges, which the study seeks to explore. The research adopts a descriptive-analytical methodology, based on the analysis of field data and the examination of the value-based and educational structure of schools. It also incorporates a forward-looking dimension through the proposal of practical recommendations aimed at reducing violence in school environments. The study concludes that school violence is not an isolated phenomenon, but rather a manifestation of a broader societal crisis of values and a declining role of the school as a nurturing educational institution, in a context marked by accelerated societal change and the growing dominance of digital media.

The influence of sign lexicon language mediation (MSL) on enhancingreading comprehension in deaf and hard of hearing students: a semiempirical study based on the double coding theory.
Interest in women's representation in historical writing has increased since the mid-twentieth century, aiming to re-evaluate their contributions after decades of marginalization in traditional narratives. In Morocco, studies show that women's presence in history textbooks remains weak, with male figures dominating texts, illustrations, and biographical indexes. This study evaluates the representation of women in middle and high school history textbooks in Morocco) Oriental Region( through content analysis and a survey of teachers' perspectives. Findings attribute this underrepresentation to the patriarchal nature of historical sources, the curricula’s focus on political and military history, a lack of rights-based awareness among authors, and limited female participation in authorship committees. To address this, the study proposes integrating educational materials that highlight women's historical roles and implementing gender-sensitive activities. It also emphasizes the necessity of training teachers on the gender approach and revising curricula to ensure a more balanced and inclusive representation reflecting women's diverse historical contributions.

Cartographic Competence in School Geography at the UpperSecondary Level in Morocco: Pedagogical Reality and Pathwaysfor Enhancement
The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of acquiring sign lexicon (MSL) vocabulary in the development of reading comprehension skills among (DHH) students, which is essentially for decoding written text and constructing meaning during the reading process according to the mechanisms of linguistic mediation. For this purpose I adopted two methods; Descriptive and quasi-experimental and 20 students were divided into experimental and control groups. The study instruments were: a pre- and post-reading test for reading comprehension, and a list of the most important vocabularies of the sign lexicon to be developed by students from the study committee according to a training program, which enabled the committee to link the sign lexicon's vocabulary to written text based on the principle of double coding. The statistical results showed a significant difference at the (α 0.05) level between the mean retrieved notes of the experimental and control groups in the dimensional test in favor of the experimental group, and showed a strong relationship between the retrieval of suggestive lexicon and the ability to perform deep reading comprehension of text instead of superficial semantic encoding. Thus, the validity of the study hypotheses was confirmed, and it was recommended to adopt a teaching strategy based on enriching the sign lexicon as input for learning to read and encouraging teachers to use mental translation techniques to overcome the language gap between signed and written text for this category of students
