After the researcher confirmed its validity and reliability and analyzed its items statistically, it was applied to the research sample on 8/4/2025. After conducting the statistical analyses, the results showed that there is a decline in the level of students in the subject of “Geography of Iraq,” and there is no significant difference between the levels of female and male students.
