English abstract
The importance of childhood is not hidden from
individuals, countries and societies because of its
prominent role in shaping human personality, skills
and orientations. Magazines and appendices are
considered media outlets that affect children with
their contents. Information technology means a
double-edged sword that can positively or negatively
affect children. The Royal Oman Police has been
addressing children in the media through the
preparation of the (Alshorty Alsageer Appendix),
which includes a variety of topics that seek to
attract children, provide them with fun, interest and
directions, and instilling good values in them. In
developing children's awareness of it, the research
used the descriptive analytical method using a card
to analyze the content of the appendix (Alshorty
Alsageer) and a questionnaire to address parents
about the effect of the appendix on their children's
awareness. The degree of familiarity with and
availability of the contents of technology, information
technology and social media in the appendix is
generally medium, and the most attempts were
The availability is the focus of the characteristics
of the topics, and the least available axes in a weak
degree is the focus of access and availability, and
that the most available features in the supplement
are the characteristics of the form, followed by the
diversity of topics, while the availability of technical
and social media contents in the supplement is less.
The study recommended the need to pay attention
to providing the supplement in paper in educational
institutions For children and encouraging parents to
provide it for their children to view it, especially the
males, increasing the definition of the supplement
and distributing it on paper and electronically to
the target groups and encouraging them to view it,
and working to increase diversity in the topics of
the supplement and intensifying the provision of
appropriate technical and social content for children
