The research sample consisted of (60) male and female children, whose ages ranged between (8-9 years) of the same social and economic level, and they were randomly divided into two control and experimental groups, each of which consisted of (31) females and (29) males, and the training program was applied. The experimental group, with the aim of changing their stereotypical thinking about their social and gender roles, for a period of two and a half months, with (18) training sessions. The results of the research revealed that there are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the children of the experimental group in the pre/post measurement on the gender social roles awareness scale in favor of the post measurement, and there are statistically significant differences between the average scores of the experimental and control groups on the dimensions of the gender social roles scale in favor of the experimental group, and there are Differences between the average scores of males on the scale of gender social roles in the third dimension (the right to professional choices), the fourth dimension (daily practices) and the fifth dimension (sports activities) are higher than the average scores of females, and the average scores were equal between males and females in the first dimension (the right to play) , the second dimension (the right to dress and appearance), the sixth dimension (cultural activities) and the seventh dimension (social practices), which indicates a lower degree of stereotyped thinking of gender social roles for males more than females in general. And there are statistically significant differences in the mean scores of the children of the experimental group in the pre, post and follow-up measurements on the awareness of gender social roles scale in favor of the follow-up measurement. Which indicates the effectiveness of the training program in changing the stereotypical thinking of gender social roles among the research sample, and in the light of these results, the current research provides a training program that can be used by teachers, families, and those in charge of caring for children in order to improve the way children think and move away from stereotypical thinking, in addition to providing them with Many skills that make them more socially and emotionally adaptive in line with changes in society.","PeriodicalId":270218,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Childhood and Women’s Studies","volume":"407 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133619019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the role of social institutions is highlighted in helping the child to accept and respect others while preserving his cultural identity. Every social institution has a prominent role to contribute to the formation of concepts, values and beliefs among children, including the educational institution through the curriculum and the educational environment and the role of the teacher, as well as the role of the family and the role of the media, which are no less important and are complementary to the roles of educational institutions.

The research tackles the importance of translating character names in literature as one of the most challenging activities that translators face. Names usually have various allusions indicating gender, age, geographical origin, history, specific meaning, playfulness of language, and cultural connotations. The research aims to draw attention to the importance of the cultural elements relevant to the choice of names and their translation. The research starts with a general theoretical background that addresses the translation of proper nouns. Then it discusses the importance of names in shaping the characters and sheds light on the question of whether names carry meaning or not. Following this, the research explains the translation strategies proposed by Jan Van Collie (2006) for translating character names, and the problems faced in translating proper names. The study investigates the different translation strategies used for translating character names in several works with special reference to Madeleine L'Engle's (1962) A Wrinkle in Time . Analysis has revealed that \"reproduction\" is the most frequently used strategy leading to the foreignization of the translated texts. Such foreignization technique, the researcher claims, hinders the appreciation of the work of art as it alienates the reader from the culture of the text.","PeriodicalId":270218,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Childhood and Women’s Studies","volume":"148 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116389066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These functions include: language, speech, memory, intelligence, and executive functions. Cognitive process refers to process that includes knowing how individuals think, perceive, memories, and solve problems, and how he directs his attentions towards one stimulus rather than other. Actually, there is a group of factors affecting these cognitive process, subjective and objective factors. In addition, preschool stage, is a stage of fast development in executive functions, related development. Neurological Cognitive Disorder, is one kind of psychological disorder which affect mainly individual cognitive abilities, which in turn includes learning memory, perception, and solving problem. Several theorists tried to interpret the causes underpin these disorders (e.g.: Piaget; Vygotsky; and Feuerstein). Drawing on their views we can conclude that cognitive function disorders in children is centered on failure in cognitive abilities and process, which leads to failure in some thinking skills. This paper concluded that in order to healing such disorders, our actions should be based on two approaches, first: child centered approach which includes: (1) developing children's executive functions; (2) adopting perceptual motor strategy; (3) employ Audiblox program; (4) adopting dynamic and cognitive assessment; and (5) developing multiple intelligences in children. Second: through early childhood teacher's preparation, by adopting several strategies including: (1) practice based on psychological process strategy; (2) practice based on analyzing the task; (3) practice based on multiple senses; (4) behavioral analyses strategy; (5) role exchange strategy; and (6) early intervention strategy.","PeriodicalId":270218,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Childhood and Women’s Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130407171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
