*Introduction: Nowadays, truancy problem is spread in many schools in the Sultanate of Oman. So in this project we will go to do seminars about truancy to solve this problem in our schools.

It means I start to analyses content and resources. Then I will determine the main goals of this seminar and I will Divides the content in Unit and lesson than I start to write the objective, activates and assessment for each lesson. In addition I will write two paragraphs of information for each unit. After that I will analyze the audience. Then I will write about three learning environment and I will explain which of that environment are suitable for this seminar and why. Finally will draw a nice visual model of this seminar. *Content Analysis and Design *The goals: At the end of this seminar: The students will be able to find solutions to reduce the truancy.

And we take 6 hours to achieve it. *Learner Analysis: Teachers, students and students parents those are the audiences for this seminars because each of those are play role in truancy problem .So we need to do seminars for all of those to solve this problem. This is analyzing for each of them: 1. The teachers: speak Arabic language because the seminar is in Arabic language, they code be females or males, they should have dissection skill. We need 2000 teachers. They should be Omani teachers. They should have some prior information about truancy. 2. The students: speak Arabic language because the seminar is in Arabic language, they code be females or males, they should have dissection skill, they ego should be from 10 to 18 years old to understand the content exactly. Also they should be Omani students. 3. The students parents: speak Arabic language because the seminar is in Arabic language, they should have dissection skill. They should have sons or daughters on the school.

*Environment Analysis: There are many types of learning environments for example, face to face environment, virtual learning environment and collaborative learning environment. Each of these environments has advantage and limitations.

*Face to face environment: Face to face learning environment enhances the learners to identify the goals and it no need money to create it. Also it enhances many good skill for example, dissections skills and communication skill. On the other hand, this environment is not suitable for shy students because they do not have communication skill. *collaborative learning environment: Collaborative learning environment enhance learners to work to gathers and it good environment to built collaborative skills on the students. It also makes the learning environment more interesting by sharing ideas with others. On the other hand, this environment teaches some lazy students to put the work for other student. *virtual learning environment Virtual learning environment is a new environment. In this environment the learners need to use the internet and use the distance learning system .It is a good environment which enhances different resources for learners. And it is good environment for shy learners it help them to do online dissection. On the other hand many learners face problem in limit connect. Also it needs more money. However in this seminar we can use two of those environments which are the face to face learning environment and collaborative learning environment. We use face to face learning environment because it enhance the learners to identify the goals and it no need money to create it. In additional the presenters need to do some face to face dissections with the audiences. Also we need to use collaborative learning environment because it enhance learners to work to gathers and we have teamwork in this seminars. But we do not need to use the virtual learning environment because in this environment we need to use the internet and use the distance learning system and it need more money and we do not have large budget for this seminar. *General Findings: In conclusion, truancy is a manifestation of the wastage of education, which is in addition to the backset of the negative effects on both leaky and society. For these reasons and more I think to do this project which is about truancy in Omani schools .In this report I wrote description of process of design the seminar. It is seminars for students, teachers and parents doing by 3 doctors from SQU and it design by Education College students. It takes 5 days to develop this seminar and it cost 500 OR to develop it. And take 3 another days to deliver the content and materials and it will cost 350 OR for delivering. It will impact all audience. So after this project we will find good solutions for truancy. This means we increase the level of education system in Oman and this is the main goal for this project. If you have any question about this project you can send email to u089407@squ.edu.om
