Abstract

The effect of the informative program in the narrative style on the development of the meaning of life among blind students at Al-Noor Institute / Baghdad Governorate

 he current research aims to identify (the impact of the informative program in the narrative style on developing the meaning of life among blind students at Al-Noor Institute) by verifying the following hypotheses:

1- There are no statistically significant differences at the level of (0.05) between the grades of the experimental group before and after the implementation of the extension program.

2- There are no statistically significant differences at the level of (0.05) between the scores of the control group in the pre and post tests on the meaning of life scale.

3- There are no statistically significant differences at the level of (0.05) between the scores of the experimental group and the control group in the post-test.

    The current research was determined by the students of Al-Noor Institute for the Blind for the academic year (2019/2020 AD), and the two researchers used the semi-experimental approach with a design (an experimental group and a control group with a pre-post test) The research sample consisted of (20) students from the Al-Noor Institute distributed randomly among Two groups, (an experimental group) and (a control group), and by (10) students in each group, parity was made for the two groups in some variables and a measure of the meaning of life was constructed consisting of (22) paragraphs, distributed into (4) areas, which are (estimation Self, social relations, achievement motivation, responsibility) and the two researchers presented it to a group of arbitrators in education and psychology, and in light of the results of the arbitration, we assured the validity of the scale for application and thus achieve apparent validity, as for consistency, it was found in two ways, namely, retesting as it reached (0.81), And Vackronbach has reached (0.82).

   The two researchers implemented a heuristic program in (narrative) and the validity of (the indicative program) was verified through apparent honesty, by presenting it to a group of experts in guidance and direction. The program consisted of (11) counseling sessions with (two sessions) per week at a time. One session (45) minutes.

The researchers used the following statistical methods: (Pearson correlation coefficient, Fakronbach equation, Spearman's equation, T-test for two independent samples, Chi-square, Wilcoxen test, Mann-Whitney test, weighted mean, percent weight).

The results of the current research showed the following:

1- There are statistically significant differences at the level of (0.05) between the grades of the experimental group before and after the application of the pilot program in favor of the post-test.

2- There are no statistically significant differences at the level of (0.05) between the scores of the control group in the pre and post tests on the meaning of life scale.

3- There are statistically significant differences at the level of (0.05) between the scores of the experimental group and the control group in the post-test in favor of the experimental group.

The results showed that the counseling program had an impact on developing the meaning of life among the experimental group students at Al-Noor Institute in Baghdad.

In light of the research results, the two researchers presented a number of recommendations and suggestions
