The study adopted an experimental methodology with a quasi-experimental design in applying the study tool. The researcher randomly selected two sections from the first-year secondary boys' classes at Ahmad Toukan Secondary School for Boys – Marka District – Amman City. One section was randomly assigned as the experimental group, which received instruction through the teaching program based on the Theory of Nazm, while the other served as the control group and was taught using the regular curriculum.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The results revealed statistically significant differences at the level of (α = 0.05) between the mean scores of the two study groups on the rhetorical comprehension test, in favor of the experimental group that was taught using the Nazm-based teaching program.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The study recommended encouraging male and female teachers in classrooms to activate the teaching of rhetorical concepts based on the principles of the Theory of Nazm and to make these principles a core component of their instructional methods. This approach requires them to draw upon the literary output of the Arab nation and to present examples and evidence that support this orientation.</p> محمد الزعبي Copyright (c) 2025 Educational and Psychological Sciences Series https://journals.aabu.edu.jo/index.php/Edu/article/view/1228 Sun, 21 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0100 The Reality of the Community Partnership between Jordanian Universities and the Jordanian Ministry of Labor to Qualify Students for Future Jobs Based on the Digital Labor Market https://journals.aabu.edu.jo/index.php/Edu/article/view/710 <p>The study aimed to identify the reality of the community partnership between Jordanian universities and the Jordanian Ministry of Labor to qualify students for future jobs based on the digital labor market.
