Purpose: This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of a pre-marriage educational package based on Sternberg's theory on attitudes about romance and mate selection in single girls. Specifically, it examines the efficacy of a pre-marriage education program for single girls, using Sternberg's theory on love stories. Methodology: This research is applied in purpose, quasi-experimental in method, and uses a pre-test-post-test control group design with a follow-up stage (one month). The statistical population comprised individuals who attended the Haft Sange Zendegi Educational Institute in Izeh city in 2023, selected through available sampling. Fifty single girls were selected and divided into two groups (experimental and control). Before the training classes, both groups were assessed using the Attitudes about Romance and Mate Selection Scale. The experimental group underwent a film therapy program based on Sternberg's concepts for 25 sessions of two hours each, while the control group received no intervention. Data analysis was performed using multivariate analysis of covariance and repeated measures analysis of variance with SPSS 27 software. Findings: The findings indicated that implementing the pre-marriage educational protocol based on Sternberg's theory through film led to a significant shift in the attitudes of single females (P<0.001). There was a notable difference between the control and experimental groups in both the post-test and follow-up periods (P<0.001). Conclusion: This research highlights the potential of premarital counseling centered on movies. The findings suggest that unmarried girls' viewpoints on love and partner selection improved following the program, emphasizing the benefits of such interventions before marriage. Various stakeholders, including parents, educators, and counselors, can employ these guidelines to address a range of concerns.

Purpose: This study was conducted with the aim of identifying the components and dimensions of effective art education teaching. Methodology: This research is an applied-developmental study in terms of its objective and a non-experimental (descriptive) study in terms of data collection method, utilizing a cross-sectional survey approach. A qualitative research design was employed to achieve the research objective. The qualitative participant community included professors, teachers, school administrators, and art education specialists in Iraq, selected through purposive sampling. Ultimately, theoretical saturation was achieved after 10 interviews. The qualitative validity was evaluated and confirmed based on Lincoln and Guba's four criteria of credibility, transferability, confirmability, and dependability from the reviewers' perspective. The reliability of the coding of the conducted interviews was estimated using Holsti's coefficient at 0.712, which is considered acceptable. For data analysis, the grounded theory method was utilized in MAXQDA software, and with the extraction of the main and sub-categories of the research, the final model was presented. Findings: In the present study, the components and dimensions of effective art education teaching were identified to provide a model for art education teachers in Iraq. A total of 210 initial codes were extracted from the interview texts. Through coding, eight concepts and 45 sub-categories were identified, and by classifying these themes into similar categories, eight main categories were recognized. Conclusion: Based on the obtained results, the paradigmatic model of the research was determined. Causal conditions, including educational content, factors related to the teacher, and teaching style, affect the central phenomenon, which is effective art education teaching. This component, along with contextual conditions, including educational infrastructure and intervening conditions, such as the status of art in society, leads to strategies and actions, including educational policymaking, resulting in the outcome of drafting the art curriculum charter in Iraq.
