Authors: Aalsubhien Ali Mousa Suliman , Alqudah Mohammad Farhan , Aldhaidan Alhemaidi Mohammed , Alenazi Abdullah Khretan , Heilat Mustafa 
Published: June 2022

The aim of the present study was to identify moral intelligence and its relation to conflict resolution skill among King Saud University students in the light of gender, the type of college (sciences or humanities) and the study level. Furthermore, this study attempted to find out whether it is possible to predict the conflict resolution skill among students of King Saud University (KSU) by their score on the moral intelligence scale. The sample of the study consisted of (360) students from KSU. The researchers used the correlative and comparative descriptive method. The findings of the study indicated that the score of the moral intelligence and conflict resolution skill was low. In addition, the findings showed that there was a difference in moral intelligence in favor of males, while there were no statistically significant differences in the moral intelligence based on the type of college or the study level. The study findings also revealed that there was a statistically significant correlation at the level of 0.01 between moral intelligence and conflict resolution skill. It was also found out that independent variables (dimensions of moral intelligence: sympathy, conscience, recognition of emotions & moral imagination) contribute to predicting the overall skill of conflict resolution.
Keywords: conflict resolution, moral intelligence, KSU, KSA.

Authors: Assaf Mahmoud Abdel-Majid 
Published: June 2022

The study aimed to assess the opinions of a sample of faculty members in Palestinian universities regarding the obstacles that hinder the use of future study methods in educational research. To achieve this, the researcher followed the descriptive analytical method by administering a questionnaire consisting of obstacles distributed over three dimensions: (methodology, knowledge and desire and convictions) to 65 participants from Colleges of Education in Palestinian universities (Islamia – Al-Azhar – Al-Quds – Al-Aqsa). The results showed that the overall degree of the faculty members' assessment of the obstacles facing future study methods in educational research was (72.81%). The dimension (desire and convections) ranked first with a relative weight of (78.97%), followed by the (methodology) dimension with a relative weight of (73.81). The dimension (knowledge) came in third place with a relative weight of (73.56%). There were no statistically significant differences at the level (α≤0.05) between the mean scores of the participants' evaluation of these obstacles due to two variables (nature of work and age); while there were differences attributed to the factor of specialization in favor of curricula and teaching methods. The study concluded that the efforts of researchers in the field of future studies do not exceed the research achievement, without believing in the feasibility of its results. The study recommended enhancing the attitudes of graduate students towards future studies in the colleges of education.Keywords: obstacles, methods, future study, educational research

The independent variables (knowledge creation, knowledge sharing, application and generation of knowledge) combined had a positive effect on the dependent variable (achieving quality of higher education at Al-Quds University). It was also found that there was a positive effect for the knowledge sharing variable. In other words, the higher the level of knowledge management is, the greater the achievement of the quality of higher education at Al-Quds University is. The independent variables (gender, academic rank, college) had an impact on the dependent variable (achieving the quality of higher education at Al-Quds University). It was found that there was a positive effect for the academic rank variable, and a negative effect for the college variable, which means that the higher the academic rank is, moving towards science colleges, the more the quality of higher education at Al-Quds University will be, which means knowledge management helps in achieving the quality of higher education. The study recommended the need to raise the efficiency of knowledge management processes at Al-Quds University because of its role in achieving higher education quality.
