Publishing Scientific Research

The Assistant Dean for Administrative Affairs (Prof. Malik Mutlak Takhit) published a scientific research entitled (The Extent of the Availability of Nanotechnology Concepts in Chemistry Textbooks for the Middle School Stage) in Al-Nasaq Magazine.
The current research aimed to uncover the concepts of nanotechnology in chemistry textbooks for the middle school stage. The research population consisted of chemistry books for the middle school stage, and the research sample is chemistry books for grades (fourth scientific, fifth biological, and sixth biological), approved for the academic year (2021-2022), and to achieve the goal of the research. The researcher prepared a tool to analyze books according to nanotechnology concepts. The research tool consisted of six basic axes, and each axis consisted of sub-concepts (nanotechnology concepts), totaling (46) concepts. After completing the research process, it became clear that chemistry books for the middle school did not include concepts. Nanotechnology was mentioned only in a very small percentage in the fourth scientific book and the fifth biological book, and no concept was mentioned in the sixth biological book. The researcher made a number of recommendations and suggested conducting a number of studies to complement the current study. We wish him more creativity and progress in the fields of research he is interested in serving our beloved Iraq, and may God Almighty grant him success.
