Abstract

Abstract:

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a proposed program to develop psychological and cognitive integration among middle school students in art education in Babil Governorate. The study used the experimental approach on a sample of 200 students, divided equally between an experimental and a control group. The program was implemented for 12 weeks, and integration levels were measured before and after implementation. The results showed statistically significant differences in favor of the experimental group in the levels of emotional, behavioral, and cognitive integration. The study revealed a strong positive relationship between integration and academic achievement. No statistically significant differences in integration were found attributable to the gender variable, while differences were found in favor of higher grades and higher economic levels. The program implementation faced administrative, material, and human resources challenges, which were analyzed, and recommendations were made to address them. The study recommends generalizing the program, providing training for teachers, and improving school infrastructure to support art education activities, while emphasizing the importance of conducting future studies to evaluate the long-term impact of the program.
