Abstract

The current research aims to identify the orientation towards the future among university students, the significance of the differences between the orientation towards the future among university students in Dhi Qar Governorate, according to: Specialization (scientific - human). Gender (male - female). Stage (first - second - third - fourth). To achieve the objectives of the research, the two researchers prepared the future orientation scale, based on the theoretical framework of the concept of future orientation by (Rachel Seginer, 2009), which consists of (47) paragraphs in its initial form distributed over (4) domains by (12) items for the first domain the potential self and (12) paragraphs for the second field, positive expectations, (11) paragraphs for the third field, the time perspective, and (12) paragraphs for the fourth field, delaying the discount. The research was conducted on a building sample of (400) male and female students from all colleges at Dhi Qar University distributed by type ( 156) males (39%) and (244) females (61%) and according to the specialization, the number of students in the scientific specialization is (258) male and female students at the rate of (65%), while the number of students in the humanitarian specialization is (142) male and female students (36%), as for the first stage, the number of students in the first stage reached (139) male and female students (35%), the second stage students (89) male and female students (22%), and the third stage students (89), male and female students with a percentage of ( 22%) and fourth-year students (83) male and female students (21%). The sample was chosen by a simple stratified random method from Dhi Qar University, then the items of the scale were analyzed from Rhetorically and statistically to calculate its discriminatory ability and its validity coefficients, the researchers verified the apparent validity and constructive validity indicators of the two scales, and calculated the stability of the two scales by (Alpha Cronbach - re-test), and for the purpose of verifying the research procedures and results, the researchers used the following statistical means: Percentage - T-test for one sample - T-test For two independent samples - Pearson correlation coefficient - simple regression analysis of variance. The results revealed that the research sample had a positive orientation towards the future.
