Thinking Center Patterns and its Relationship to Academic Buoyancy among Students of Al-Mustaqbal University College

Abstract

The student’s academic success depends on the extent of their ability to face obstacles, challenges, difficulties and academic setbacks in the normal course of the daily academic life and guide their thinking towards innovative solutions through academic buoyancy: which represents the students’ ability to deal with their problems and depend on the positive aspects of their character to help them overcome stress, anxiety and fear of failure in one way. And on the other way, it contributes to their assimilation of scientific progress, technological and technical development, information processing, and the achievement of excellence and success. To achieve the objectives of the research, the researcher used the descriptive correlational approach, and the sample included (373) male and female students who were chosen according to the Stephen Thomson equation and distributed according to a proportional random stratified distribution from Al-Mustaqbal University College. The Risso-Hudson scale of the nine character types in the Enneagram system and the Pisang scale (2016) for academic buoyancy were applied to the research sample and using the appropriate statistical methods for data processing, the results concluded that the students of Al- Mustaqbal University College have academic buoyancy, which is related to the patterns of the thinking center. In light of this, the researcher developed a set of recommendations and suggestions.
