To achieve this aim, the study utilized the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses and SLR methodologies. A total of 5,000 literature studies or sources were screened, with 25 being included in the final analysis. The rationale behind conducting this study was to gain key insights into the entrepreneurial environment of universities to positively influence the education industry. The study found that in most of the selected studies, entrepreneurial universities implemented various best practices and policies that supported them in favorably shaping the education industry. These best practices and policies included promoting innovation, increasing funding levels, and developing a positive entrepreneurship culture among students. A limitation of prior relevant research is its constricted nature. However, this paper provides a novel and comprehensive perspective on the field of entrepreneurship, summarizing the ways through which entrepreneurial universities operating in any nation can shape their respective industries. \u0000KEYWORDS\u0000education industry, entrepreneurial intentions, interdisciplinary nature, internationalization, pragmatism culture, spin-offs","PeriodicalId":516956,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Journal of King Faisal University: Humanities and Management Sciences","volume":"176 S421","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140428770","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}

The current research aims to determine the standards for producing children’s stories using some of the generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools necessary for female kindergarten teachers to improve their children’s story production skills. Using the experimental method, the study sample was purposively selected from ten kindergartens in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, for a total of 25 female teachers. A list of standards has been prepared for producing children’s stories using AI tools. The main standards included controlling generation inputs, analyzing and reviewing generation outputs, editing generation outputs, and regeneration and production, and a set of subskills were included under them. The sample underwent the training content, which consisted of six sessions with five hours of training per day. A graded performance rating scale was prepared to measure female teachers’ children’s story production skills. The results indicated the effectiveness of generative AI tools in improving children’s story production skills in light of the criteria used in the current research.\u0000KEYWORDS\u0000story-based learning, applications of artificial intelligence, kindergarten, narrative approach, generative linguistic models, kindergarten stage","PeriodicalId":516956,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Journal of King Faisal University: Humanities and Management Sciences","volume":"393 4-6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139895998","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}

The challenge with starting from different theoretical frameworks is that this reflects negatively on the results and variables associated with each component. There are also many self-components, combined with the synonymy of some names, that confuse researchers and place research in the cycle of stereotyping and repetition. Therefore, presenting a graphical form that includes a description of the self-concept components and clarifies the relationships between them and their role in the structure of the human self contributes to solving this problem. In the theoretical framework, the theoretical concepts of the components were reviewed, and the method for developing integrated models that aim to transfer self-concept research in psychology from the level of description to the level of analysis was explained by taking advantage of the huge number of empirical studies on the self. A questionnaire consisting of four dimensions, including 40 items, was applied to a sample of 12 psychology experts. The results indicated that the self-concept serves as a basis for an integrated model of the self-components. The spatial analogy method was used in developing the model inputs, processes, and outputs. The sub-components that are closest in relationship to the self-concept are self-image, self-esteem, and the ideal self in the operations stage. The next closest variables are self-regulation, self-affirmation, self-actualization, and self-compassion. The model explains each in detail, and a set of recommendations and proposals were produced.\u0000KEYWORDS\u0000single entry static models, self regulation, self efficacy, educational psychology, psychology experts, self esteem","PeriodicalId":516956,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Journal of King Faisal University: Humanities and Management Sciences","volume":"8 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139896325","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}

The treatment group (n=21) read Henrik Ibsen’s play A Doll’s House (1879) and watched the adapted film, whereas the control group (n=20) was asked to only read the play and discuss it in class. The findings revealed that the treatment group performed better in terms of answering questions about play after watching the film adaptation.

Meanwhile, adult learning and literacy are essential for personal and social development. This research aims to study the effect of cognizance on academic achievement among novice learners in literacy programs in Morocco. The research sample consisted of 560 male and female learners, using the cognizance scale for the novice learner. The results of the research revealed that there are statistically significant correlations between cognizance and academic achievement among novice learners in literacy programs. This result demonstrates that new learners in literacy programs have the ability to progress and learn independently, even when faced with new challenges while learning to read, write and in mathematics. They can deal with these challenges through self-representation, self-control, self-adaptation, and understanding their own abilities (cognizance). This research can contribute to improving education and developing educational programs to enhance cognizance and adult learning. It can also contribute to developing effective strategies to combat illiteracy and enhance comprehensive human understanding, strengthening society through increased knowledge and cultural awareness.\u0000KEYWORDS\u0000adult learning, academic performance, self-functioning competencies, self-representation, self-directed learning, self-regulation","PeriodicalId":516956,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Journal of King Faisal University: Humanities and Management Sciences","volume":"28 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140512091","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}

The study uses a descriptive methodology and administers a questionnaire to 450 female Islamic studies instructors and a content analysis card to the texts on Islamic studies and culture. The survey concluded that the applicants favoured the inclusion of sex education as it was taught in Saudi Arabia's general Islamic studies courses.
