The Knowledge Burden and its Relationship with the (FOCHP-SOCHP) Among University Students

Abstract

The current search aims at investigating:

1. The knowledge burden of university students.
2. Type cognitive control force (FOCHP - SOCHP) among university students.
3. Is there a statistical difference in the knowledge burden of university students depending on sex (male - female) and specialization (human - scientific)
4. Are there statistically significant differences in the FOCHP-SOCHP cognitive force for the university students depending on the sex variable (female - male) and specialization (human – scientific).
5. The relation between the knowledge burden and the Type Cognitive Control Power (FOCHP-SOCHP) for university students.
6. The extent of the strength of type cognitive control (FOCHP-SOCHP) that is contributed in the cognitive burden.

 The current research sample includes (370) male and female students from the evening Studies, Scientific and humanitarian specialties. The cognitive burden scale (2015) and the Cognitive Holding Power (Stevevnson1994) has been used after translating into Arabic, and after analysis of data using statistical means such as the test of one sample and the analysis of the second contrast and regression analysis، The following conclusions have been reached:

1. The university students suffer from knowledge burden.
2. The university students have a kind of cognitive control (fochp) greater than the first type (Sochp)
3. No statistically significant differences existed in the knowledge burden among university students depending on sex (male - female) and specialization (human - scientific)
4. There are no statistically significant differences in the Cognitive Type (FOCHP-SOCHP) with university students depending on sex (female - male) and specialization (human - scientific)
5. There is a loose relationship between the knowledge burden and the type of cognitive control of type (FOCHP - SOCHP) greater than the first type.
6. Cognitive control strength (FOCHP-SOCHP) contributes combined in the cognitive burden larger than the second type.

In light of the research results, the researcher recommends some recommendations and suggested some proposals.
