A Milestone Achieved at Stanford's GSE

 I am thrilled to share that I recently participated in the Diploma Ceremony at the Graduate School of Education (GSE) at Stanford University. This moment was not just a celebration of my own achievements but also a heartfelt thank you to my cohort, whose support and collaboration have been invaluable throughout this journey.
I also want to thank all the professors, TA who have guided, mentored, and supported me along the way. Each of you has played a crucial role in shaping my educational path and this success.
Thank you all for being part of this unforgettable chapter in my life.

Paper on Examines Differences in Chinese and Egyptian Science Textbooks Published to Heliyon


I am excited to share our latest research publication, "How do Chinese and Egyptian science textbooks differ? A cross-country comparative research," now available in open access. This study, a collaborative effort with my esteemed colleagues from the Smart Learning Institute at Beijing Normal University, explores the nuances in the structure and content of 9th grade science textbooks across China and Egypt.

Our findings highlight the diverse approaches to science education in these two culturally rich countries, with insights into cognitive expectations, learning goals, and the efficacy of textbook illustrations. This research is part of our broader project analyzing science textbooks in the Belt and Road countries, aimed at understanding variations in educational practices and their implications on student performance.

For those interested in the detailed analysis and our recommendations for enhancing textbook design and curriculum development, the full study can be accessed at [Heliyon].

Exploring the Impact of Generative AI on Computer Science Education: New Study Accepted at IEEE FIE 2024

 I am excited to announce that our paper, "Exploring Public Perceptions on Generative AI in Computer Science Education: A Social Media Data Analysis," has been accepted for presentation at the 2024 IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference. This study represents a significant step in understanding the evolving role of generative AI (GAI) technologies, like ChatGPT, in the educational landscape, particularly within computer science education.

Our research delves into the public's perspectives gathered from social media platforms, utilizing advanced machine learning techniques to analyze sentiments and thematic concerns related to GAI. The findings reveal a predominantly positive reception towards GAI's integration into educational settings, highlighting benefits such as personalized learning and automated grading. However, the study also brings to light critical concerns, including issues of academic dishonesty, potential biases, and the possible displacement of human instructors.

I look forward to sharing our findings and engaging in valuable discussions at the conference, contributing to the broader conversation on how best to harness AI in education for the benefit of both students and educators. [Abstract]
