EGYPTIAN REACTIONS TO THE DISCOVERY AND EXCAVATION OF TUTANKHAMUN’S TOMB, 1922-1930

The discovery and excavation of Tutankhamun's tomb by Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon in 1922-1930 sparked Egyptian interest in Egyptology and archaeology learning, as well as effective participation in excavation missions in Egypt. Egyptians have worked hard to expand their role in Egyptology education and to increase their participation in excavation missions. This article focuses on how Egyptians reacted to the excavation of Tutankhamun's tomb between 1922 and 1930. It traces the impact of such discoveries on Egyptian officials and intellectuals, who worked tirelessly to raise public awareness of archaeological discoveries and encourage Egyptology education for Egyptian students both at home and abroad. A descriptive analytical methodology will be used in this paper. However, there was hardly an Egyptian Contribution to Clearing and conserving the Tutankhamun Collection whose discovery was as a chock motivated the Egyptians to improve their position in the world of Archaeology.

An empirical investigation of the effectiveness of online entrepreneurship education among university students in Egypt

Since providing entrepreneurship education to students without examining its impact might not lead to achieving the desired goals, coupled with the lack of research on the impact of online entrepreneurship education, it is important to understand the role and effectiveness of this medium of teaching to develop entrepreneurial students. Thus, this study explores the direct effect of online entrepreneurship education on Egyptian students' entrepreneurial attitude, self-efficacy, and interest, to inform educators if they will need to adjust their pedagogical approaches, to improve the students' learning outcomes and as well universities to put right strategies for their online entrepreneurship education programs. A survey based on the Engineering Entrepreneurship Survey developed by Duval-Couetil, Reed-Rhoads and Haghighi, was emailed to a total of 400 university students enrolled in entrepreneurship courses, divided into two groups according to the medium of delivery. The results have shown that online EE has a positive impact on students, however, it remains less than online EE.

Higher prevalence of trunk rotation among Egyptian students in urban than in countryside areas

IntroductionThis study was conducted to compare the prevalence of trunk rotation in selected urban and countryside areas in Egypt.MethodsOverall, 840 male students aged 10–15 years were divided into 2 equal groups: group A, representing urban schools, and group B, representing countryside schools. Both groups were first screened with the Adams forward bend test; then, the Scoliometer HD application was used to determine the angle of trunk rotation. Children with a reading of 7° or more (≥ 20° Cobb angle) were referred to a medical facility and their parents were informed about the findings.ResultsIn group A, the Adams forward bend test showed a higher prevalence of trunk rotation (41.43%) than in group B (17.14%). The Scoliometer HD application readings (≥ 7°) indicated a significant difference between the 2 groups: group A result was 12.61% and group B result was 5%.ConclusionsMale students of urban schools exhibit a higher prevalence of trunk rotation than those of countryside schools.

History of Islamic Education in the Modernization Era of Egypt

The purpose of this writing is to discuss Islamic education in the modernization era of Egypt. This paper concludes that modernization in Egypt began with the arrival of Napoleon Bonaparte in Alexandria in Egypt on July 2, 1798 M. Napoleon's expedition to Egypt besides bringing a strong army also brought scientists with a set of scientific equipment to conduct research, see progress in science and technology In France, this provided inspiration for Egyptian figures to make changes, one of the popular figures as Islamic renewal in Egypt was Muhammad Ali Pasha and Jamaludin Al-Afghani. The strategy for reforming Islamic education carried out by a number of reformers in Egypt is as follows: Establishing the ministry of education and school education institutions, Sending Egyptian students to study in the West, Expanding access to education, Organizing the system and structure of educational institutions, Integrating the educational curriculum, Creating new innovations in educational methods.

Increasing the effectiveness of educational technologies in the foreign languages learning process by linguistic students (comparative analysis of Russian, Indonesian and Egyptian experience)

The aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of educational technologies in the foreign language learning process by linguistic students. The focus is to compare the experiences of Russia, Indonesia, and the Egyptian language experience regarding effective of educational technologies. The role of educational technologies has gained significant importance recently; therefore, considering this aspect, the study focused on a comprehensive discussion on this aspect using previous literature and argues what has been examined previously. The rationale and significance of the study are provided, along with the brief structure of the research. Besides, the study opts for a quantitative methodology to present empirical insights into the use of educational technologies in the foreign language learning process by linguistic students in Russia, Indonesia and Egypt. To analyze and interpret the research data, a descriptive technique is used where data was collected from 90 students (30 from each country). The collected data was analyzed using statistical tools, namely SPSS, where descriptive analysis was used to determine the effectiveness of educational technologies in the foreign language learning by Russian, Indonesian, and Egyptian students. The data findings revealed that the use of educational technologies in foreign language learning facilitated the learning process for the students with the integration of various technologies ranging from computer-assisted activities and audio-visual devices to online resources and social media. The findings also revealed that the utilization of technology-assisted tools proliferated the foreign language learning, making the language learning process highly engaging and interactive, while enabling the students to have better control and autonomy over their learning, wider resource accessibility, helping improve the pronunciation, and enabling to interact with native speakers. Hence, the study concluded that technology positively contributed to the language learning experience of the students, irrespective of the location.

Analysis of the Most Frequent Morphosyntatic Errors in the Italian of Egyptian Students

This research aims to examine from an analytical perspective the most frequent morphosyntactic errors that Egyptian students commit while learning the Italian language. The discussion of this topic is not a mere list of students’ errors, rather it focuses on the problem of error analysis and on the other related problems, such as the typology, the frequency and, finally, the causes of such errors. We started from the fact that in the learning phases of an SL, most students encounter difficulties especially in written production. The correction of the works produced by learners allows us to study the causes of certain errors and to isolate, analyse and correct them.

Occurrence of problematic Internet use and its correlates among Egyptian adolescent students in international schools in Cairo

BackgroundInternet addiction is a global phenomenon that has been a topic of great interest to researchers, clinicians, teachers, parents, and community groups. The study aims in determination of the rate of problematic Internet use among a sample of Egyptian adolescent students, relations of problematic Internet use with socio-demographic data, risk factors, and comorbid psychiatric disorders. A sample of 248 Egyptian adolescent school students aged 11 to 18 years old were assessed using the Young’s Internet Addiction Test (IAT), Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) Scale, Social Media Disorder (SMD) Scale, Youth Self-Report (YSR), and The Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview for children and adolescents (Mini KID).ResultsAmong the study sample, 42.3% of the students suffered from mild Internet addiction, 35.1% suffered from moderate Internet addiction, and 3.6% suffered from severe addiction. 31.5% were risky gamers and 10.5% were disordered gamers; 34.3% had problematic social media disorder and the highest observed psychiatric disorders were major depressive episodes 9.3%, generalized anxiety disorder 7.7%, alcohol dependence 4.4%, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder 4.4%, social phobia 4%, and a higher percentage of psychiatric disorders among severe Internet addiction 88.9% and among moderate addiction 70.6%, disordered gamers 92.3%, problematic social media users 60%, and a higher mean of hours spent online per day of 6.8 h per day.ConclusionsProblematic Internet use has a negative impact on Egyptian adolescent students in international schools in study sample and adds to the existing literature regarding the magnitude of Internet addiction and its relationship with different psychiatric disorders.

Being a Young Person “Stranded Abroad”: The Case of Egyptian Students who

The first phase of the COVID-19 health crisis, between March and July 2020, inaugurated an unprecedented international situation in terms of the movement of people. The issue of those “stranded abroad” became widespread in the field of international migration, at the level of the management of national states, but also in their double experience of crisis between the host context and the context of origin: between physical presence and distanced experience. This article proposes a case study on how this first phase of health measures was experienced by Egyptian students and young professionals living in France at the time of the outbreak of the epidemic. We question the meaning of being “stranded abroad” for this population — who most often conceive their migration as temporary — in terms of their experience. We also wanted to show how this was an issue for the Egyptian government when it had to organise repatriation in this brutal context of international mobility. This aspect also reveals the difficulty of exposure to contradictory health and administrative injunctions between both countries, where strategies of adaptation and negotiation must be developed in the face of national contexts and authorities, while at the same time holding on to the transnational links available to this population which has come to study in France.

Students' perception of private supplementary tutoring during medical undergraduate study in some Egyptian universities

PurposeThe current work aimed to investigate the private tutoring phenomenon among Egyptian medical faculty students.Design/methodology/approachThe present work is a cross-sectional observational study using an online, anonymous questionnaire disseminated to Egyptian medical students and instructors via social platforms and university e-mails. All subjects involved in the survey gave informed consent to begin the questionnaire. No financial incentives were awarded to finish the questionnaire.FindingsIn total, 79.2% of the surveyed students (n = 198) admitted taking private medical courses during their medical study courses till the date of the survey. The Egyptian students, 68.4% (n = 171), markedly surpassed the non-Egyptian participants (n = 79, 31.6%). Males were nearly double the female participants (n = 162 and 88 consecutively).The highest academic-level-seeking private medical tutoring was the fifth-year students (n = 66, 26.4%).Research limitations/implicationsA large sample size is needed to strengthen the statistical power and permit the generalization over the population, so more research work in this aspect is recommended. Also, subject-specific data in private medical tutoring need to be investigated in future works. Similar global work is recommended to allow better comparison of data worldwide.Originality/valueWhen conceptualizing medical education processes and developing its regulations, the dynamics of private medical instruction should be taken into account, especially concerning socioeconomic inequities and efficiency in medical school systems. This work has been the first to investigate the private tutoring phenomenon among Egyptian medical students to the authors' best knowledge.

Mental health and wellbeing among Egyptian medical students: a cross-sectional study

BackgroundMedical students are prone to experience high levels of stress during their studies, which can lead to burnout and mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression, that can affect their academic performance and ability to practice. We therefore conducted an online survey to collect data on demographics, sources of stress, mental health problems, burnout, and substance use in 547 medical students from two universities in Cairo. We used the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI), the General Health Questionnaire 12 (GHQ-12), and the CAGE questionnaire.ResultsOur results indicated that 16% of participants were diagnosed with a mental illness while in medical school, with 88% screening positive for burnout on the OLBI, 63% reaching the threshold as cases on the GHQ-12 and 9% screening positive on the CAGE questionnaire. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between scores on the OLBI and the GHQ-12.ConclusionsOur study indicated that there were very high levels of psychological distress (burnout, mental illness) among medical students, with high rates of disengagement and exhaustion.

Egyptian Students Open to Digital Mental Health Care: Cross-Sectional Survey.

BackgroundIn Egypt, the shortage of mental health services, particularly for adolescents and young adults, is apparent. Electronic mental health (EMH) has been proposed as a solution to bridge the gap and better address the needs of young people. However, EMH is new to Egypt and its acceptability among target populations is crucial to its implementation and success.ObjectiveThe objective of this study is to explore the interest of Egyptian youth in EMH, identify perceived barriers to EMH, and inform the design of EMH tools to best address the needs of youth.MethodsA web-based cross-sectional survey was distributed among medical students at Tanta University in Egypt. Chi-square and one-way analysis of variance tests were performed for inferential analyses using a significance level of .05.ResultsOf the 707 individuals who completed the survey (90.9% response rate), 60.5% (428) were female, 62% (438) lived in urban and suburban areas, and the mean age of the sample was 20.5 (SD 1.8) years. The vast majority of participants (522/707, 73.8%) had already used the internet to find information about mental health problems, but the information was unsatisfactory for about half of them (386/707, 54.6%). Almost all students reported that they would prefer web-based therapy if EMH were available through a trustworthy national web-based platform for youth mental health (601/707, 85%). Students believed that emotional difficulties, social support, and coping strategies were the main topics that EMH should help with. The most common perceived barriers for EMH use in Egypt were concerns about privacy (382/707, 54%) and a lack of technology literacy and unfamiliarity with EMH (352/707, 50%).ConclusionsEMH is a promising strategy for addressing gaps in the mental health care for young people. To construct and implement a digital system of care that addresses the unique needs and preferences of youth, adolescents and young adults should be involved in the co-development and design.

Karakteristik Pembelajaran BIPA Mesir

AbstractIndonesia and Egypt have close relationship and cooperation in several fields. One of them is education and culture. In Egypt there are thousands of Indonesians who are studying, especially at Al-Azhar University. In addition, there are also hundreds of Egyptians who are learning Indonesian language and culture both in Egypt and in Indonesia. The Atdikbud office of the Indonesian Embassy in Cairo has opened the Indonesian Cultural Center (Puskin) in the Dokki area, for Egyptians who are interested in Indonesian language and culture can study and practice there. At Puskin, Egyptians can learn Indonesian dances, traditional music, and its martial arts silat. This platform is not just for locals but for other nationalities too. Apart from Puskin, the Center for Indonesian Studies (PSI) also opened at the Canal Suez University in Ismailiah City and the Al-Azhar BIPA Office at Al-Azhar University in Cairo. Recently, the Ministry of Education and Culture and the Indonesian Embassy in collaboration with Al-Azhar University opened an Indonesian Language Study Program at the Faculty of Language and Translation. This study program is the first program in Egypt even among Arab peninsula. This paper discusses the spread of Indonesian language in Egypt; Egyptian BIPA learning implementation plan; The characteristics of BIPA learning from two perspectives, namely the point of view of Egyptian students who have studied Indonesian language in Egypt and in Indonesia, and the point of view of BIPA teachers whose teaching Indonesian language in Egypt and Indonesia.Keyword: BIPA Mesir, Puskin, BIPA Al-Azhar, BIPA

Effectiveness of virtual teaching of diagnostic and interventional imaging fundamentals to Egyptian medical students: an analytical cross-sectional study

BackgroundThere is a worldwide deficit in teaching and training in the field of radiology for undergraduate medical students. This educational gap is prominent in many medical schools as most radiology curricula are a part of other specialty trainings, usually provided by non-radiologists. After COVID-19 pandemic, there was an increased trend in online education. However, questions have been raised about the efficacy and acceptance of online education. We developed a course on the principles of radiology and medical imaging basics to target Egyptian medical students. We then assessed the impact of these educational videos through several online surveys. Our "The Principles of Radiology Online Course" was delivered to students at various Egyptian medical schools; it was a prerecorded series composed of nine sessions, and each session followed the sequence of a pre-test, video, and post-test. There was a final survey to assess the overall feedback. Finally, we analyzed the results to give insight onto how teaching radiology through online lectures can help build better physicians.ResultsAmong various medical schools around Egypt, 1396 Egyptian medical students joined this cohort. Cohort population percentage was 56% female and 44% male. Ninety-eight percent of the students agreed that this program increased their understanding of radiology. Eighty-four percent of the students found the platform friendly and easy to use. Seventy-nine percent found these webinars were more convenient compared to in-person education. Statistical significance (p-value < 0.05) was achieved in all sessions after comparing students’ pre and post-test scores, and in students’ confidence and knowledge level before and after the course.ConclusionsRadiology is an underrepresented subject for a lot of medical students. Online radiology webinars have proven to be a promising method of teaching medical students key medical imaging concepts. An online course of radiology basics and principles can help improve a medical student’s knowledge and enhance overall future patient care.

Students Engagement Level Detection in Online e-Learning Using Hybrid EfficientNetB7 Together With TCN, LSTM, and Bi-LSTM

Students engagement level detection in online e-learning has become a crucial problem due to the rapid advance of digitalization in education. In this paper, a novel Videos Recorded for Egyptian Students Engagement in E-learning (VRESEE) dataset is introduced for students engagement level detection in online e-learning. This dataset is based on an experiment conducted on a group of Egyptian college students by video recording them during online e-learning sessions. Each recorded video is labeled with a value from 0 to 3 representing the level of engagement of each student during the online session. Moreover, three new hybrid end-to-end deep learning models have been proposed for detecting student’s engagement level in an online e-learning video. These models are evaluated using the VRESEE dataset and also using a public Dataset for the Affective States in E-Environment (DAiSEE). The first proposed hybrid model uses EfficientNet B7 together with Temporal Convolution Network (TCN) and achieved an accuracy of 64.67% on DAiSEE and 81.14% on VRESEE. The second model uses a hybrid EfficientNet B7 along with Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) and reached an accuracy of 67.48% on DAiSEE and 93.99% on VRESEE. Finally, the third hybrid model uses EfficientNet B7 along with a Bidirectional LSTM and achieved an accuracy of 66.39% on DAiSEE and 94.47% on VRESEE. The results of the first, second and third proposed models outperform the results of currently existing models by 1.08%, 3.89%, and 2.8% respectively in students engagement level detection.

Pre-University Education in Egypt at the Turn of the Second and Third Decades of the XXI Century

The author analyzes the system of pre-university education in Egypt, which the Constitution of 2014 undertakes to raise to the «international level». To this end, the government has been reforming it since 2017, which is partly financed by a loan from the World Bank. The main directions of the reform include improving preschool education, improving the qualifications of teachers, changing the system of assessing students’ knowledge and strengthening the technical base of schools and colleges. Despite the first successes of pre-university education reform, it is still expanding mainly extensively, without significantly improving the quality of education of Egyptian students. The reason for this lies in the significant lack of public investment, which the government is trying to compensate by attracting private business, both national and international, to this area. However, this leads to increased inequality in access to education. In addition, even taking into account private investments, the amount of funding for pre-university education is still far from the 4% of GDP provided for by the Constitution. The main problems of pre-university education continue to be the unsatisfactory average level of qualification of Egyptian teachers, mainly due to their low wages, a large number of pupils in classes, as well as the weak material and technical base of schools and colleges. There are also significant differences in the territorial development of pre-university education in Egypt, as well as between its various stages and directions. Egyptian business continues to experience a shortage of qualified graduates of the secondary vocational education system, despite certain successes achieved in its development in recent years.

Online Opinion Expression about Women Serving as Judges among University Students in Egypt and Kuwait: An Integrative Study of the Spiral of Silence and Uses and Gratifications

This study integrates the Spiral of Silence and Uses and Gratifications theories to examine the willingness of university students to express on Twitter their opinions about a controversial issue, women serving as judges in Kuwait and Egypt. The analysis of a survey of 640 respondents showed that they used Twitter for information seeking, opinion formation, opinion reinforcement, and social utility in discussions, and for its democratizing capability. Democratization was the only motive to predict the expression of opinion online. When the Kuwaiti and Egyptian samples were analyzed separately, the democratization motive predicted opinion expression for the Kuwaiti students but not for the Egyptian students. Interaction effects between motivations and size of the respondent's social network on Twitter were found to predict the online expression of opinion. For example, the variable assessing the size of a respondent's social network interacted with information seeking motivation and also with opinion reinforcement to predict opinion expression online.
