The College of Education for Humanities – Ibn Rushd, at the University of Baghdad, discussed a master’s thesis entitled “Triadic Thinking According to Lipman’s Model and Its Relationship to Academic Flourishing Among University Students” on Tuesday, June 24, 2025. The thesis was presented by Noor Mohammed Hashem, a researcher from the Department of Educational and Psychological Sciences, specializing in Educational Psychology.
The examination committee consisted of:
-
Prof. Dr. Nahla Najm Al-Din (Chair),
-
Prof. Dr. Shaimaa Abdul Aziz (Member and Supervisor),
-
Asst. Prof. Dr. Huda Kamel Mansour (Member),
-
Asst. Prof. Dr. Omar Mohammed Alwan (External Member) from the College of Education for Women – Al-Iraqia University.
The aim of the research was to highlight the importance of triadic thinking processes among university students and the unique advantage this type of thinking offers in enhancing individuals’ ability to manage and control their behaviors in challenging situations.
The study reached several key findings, most notably that university students who demonstrate triadic thinking exhibit significant development in their cognitive and intellectual abilities. This reflects a level of intellectual maturity that enables them to efficiently meet academic life demands. Furthermore, the students’ ability to express their emotions and engage academically contributes to achieving psychological and social balance, which in turn positively impacts their academic flourishing.
The study also found no significant differences between males and females regarding the relationship between triadic thinking and academic flourishing. This indicates that this mode of thinking is a shared factor that affects both genders in a similar manner.
