The journal maintains that academic research is not merely an accumulation of knowledge, but a responsible intellectual practice that critically engages with reality, opens new horizons for analysis and interpretation, and contributes to building scholarly awareness capable of addressing social, cultural, and legal transformations at the local, regional, and international levels.</p> <p style="direction: ltr;" data-start="1143" data-end="2275">Accordingly, <em data-start="1156" data-end="1172">Debono Journal</em> is committed to publishing original research characterized by methodological rigor, analytical depth, and strict adherence to research ethics. It seeks to serve as a bridge for scholarly dialogue among researchers from diverse disciplinary backgrounds in the fields of humanities, social sciences, and legal studies, by encouraging interdisciplinary approaches, engaging with diverse intellectual traditions, and embracing the dynamic interaction between theoretical and applied knowledge. The journal also adopts an open-access policy, grounded in its belief in the right of knowledge to circulate freely and in its role in serving the academic and research community without restriction. Published by Al-Thakwāt Foundation for Culture, Thought, and Arts in the city of Najaf, the journal draws inspiration from this rich scientific and cultural environment, and aspires to maintain an active presence in the Arab and international academic landscape in line with global standards of scholarly publishing, thereby reinforcing its credibility as a responsible and effective academic platform.</p> https://debono-iq.org/index.php/ijhs/article/view/257 2025-10-07T16:35:06+00:00 ايفان علي هادي evana.beirm@uokufa.edu.iq

<p>This study aims to examine the educational values in children’s theatre and their impact on shaping the awareness of the young audience. Children’s theatre is considered one of the most important educational and cultural tools that contribute to instilling moral, cognitive, and behavioral values in children, as it combines aesthetic and dramatic experiences with both entertainment and education. The research highlights how theatrical texts and interactive performances can be employed to build children’s awareness of social issues and strengthen concepts such as cooperation, honesty, responsibility, and belonging.</p> <p>The study adopted a descriptive-analytical method by reviewing previous research and analyzing theoretical frameworks that connect education with theatrical art. The theoretical findings indicate that children’s theatre can be an effective educational tool when used thoughtfully, as it stimulates imagination, refines personality, and develops social awareness among young audiences.</p>

<p>This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Six Thinking Hats strategy in developing critical thinking skills among primary school students in mathematics. This strategy represents one of the modern teaching approaches that seeks to organize and direct the thinking process systematically, thereby fostering deeper conceptual understanding. The research focuses on the role of this strategy in enhancing students’ abilities in analysis, comparison, reasoning, and problem-solving, in addition to raising their awareness of the thinking process itself.</p> <p>The study employed a theoretical analytical approach based on reviewing previous research and discussing the theoretical framework that supports the application of the Six Thinking Hats strategy in primary education. Theoretical findings indicate that using this strategy contributes to building an interactive classroom environment that improves academic achievement and develops critical thinking skills. Moreover, it increases students’ motivation towards learning mathematics as a core subject that requires higher-order cognitive skills.</p>
