Speaking is one of the language arts that seem the easiest for students to teach and learn. However, the reality reflects the reluctance of students to participate in its situations. This reluctance is due to several reasons, including linguistic and psychological ones. Teachers do their best to urge their students to participate in speaking classes and to overcome barriers, including those related to the curriculum. If needs analysis and situational analysis are among the approaches that can contribute to the development of speaking curricula, then this paper presented SWOT analysis as an entry that combines the advantages of needs analysis and situational analysis to be the best to improve speaking curricula for its interest in examining internal factors (teacher-learner - content - activities - school administration), supporting their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses, as well as it can take into account the external factors (values and customs - current events - religious institutions - social media - social problems) and the opportunities and threats they represent.

If we do not question current scientific and social theories and accepted facts, we may not realize that we may be limited by some distortions and errors. Without the possibility of critically interrogating ourselves, our beliefs, and what we read, any form of knowledge can be accepted. Differences in viewpoints can produce cognitive progress in the context of the uncertainty of the completeness of knowledge and the belief that it is in an infinite continuous development. In this paper I followed the critical model to examine knowledge about mathematical abstraction by building and supporting arguments, and claiming that there are some inconsistencies that need intellectual treatment supported by evidence, and my belief that there are components that increase the power of mathematical abstraction that did not come into interest, such as mathematical imagination and epistemic emotions.

The present paper aimed at comparing between the situational scale versus self-report questionnaire in assessing cognitive distortions and investigating the predictive validity of both tools in predicting depression and anxiety. Additionally, it explored the gender differences in cognitive distortions as measured by both tools, and identified the level of cognitive distortions as measured by both tools. 137 participants (63 males, 74 females, mean age= 21.22, SD= 6.95) from college of education, Sultan Qaboos University were recruited to respond to the data collection instruments. The study tools were: the cognitive distortion scale (Covin et al., 2011), the cognitive distortions questionnaire (DeOlivera et al., 2015), Inventory of cognitive distortions (Yurica & Ditomasso, 2002; Roberts, 2015), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) (Beck, Steer, & Carbin (1988), and Beck Anxiety Inventory (Beck, Epstein, Brown, and Steer, 1988). Internal consistency reliability was ensured using Cronbach’s Alpha and McDonald’s Omega. Validity was verified using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis in addition to convergent and discriminant validity. Results of the research indicated a high level of cognitive distortions as measured either by the cognitive distortion scale (CDS) or the cognitive distortions questionnaire (CD-Quest). Statistical significant difference was found between students mean score on the CDS and CD-Quest favoring the (CDS) indicating that the (CDS) is more accurate in reporting cognitive distortions than the (CQ-quest). Gender differences measured by the (CDS) revealed non-significant differences in seven types of cognitive distortions and significant differences in three types (mind reading, mental filter, and emotional reasoning) in addition to the total score of the CDS favoring females (males scored higher than females). Gender differences measured by the (CDQuest) revealed non-significant differences in eleven types of cognitive distortions and significant differences in four types (should statements, what if, fortune-telling, and discounting the positive) in addition to the total score of the CDS favoring females (males scored higher than females). The (CDS) was good predictor of anxiety while did not predict depression. The CD-Quest was good predictor of Depression while did not predict anxiety. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The current study sought to identify the reality of integrating the mentally handicapped in general education schools and to identify the most important difficulties and obstacles that prevent the achievement of the goal of integrating them with the ordinary and to put some proposals based on building on the positives and avoiding difficulties and obstacles. And the mentally handicapped were taught for long periods within a special system called schools of intellectual education, provided they passed codified intelligence tests, and they were the ones who were called the educators, and the chances of them coming into contact with the ordinary were almost non-existent except within the family, and soon the world turned to a policy of gradual integration as it began The so-called attached classes, which are classes for the mentally handicapped, are attached to general education schools, and the precedence was in the Arab world for the Gulf states, by virtue of the researcher’s work, and that was in 2003. However, the opportunities for integrating with the ordinary people were very limited and were limited to sports activities, artistic and agricultural education and other activities, and after the end of the activities classes, everyone returns to his class, the mentally disabled, to their class as well as the ordinary. Then the global trend of educational integration of the mentally disabled began under the umbrella of comprehensive integration and Egypt took Serious steps towards this direction and the enactment of many legislations that contribute to the integration of people with special needs, including the mentally handicapped. However, the comprehensive integration adopted by the Ministry of Education faced many difficulties that prevented the optimum and great benefit from the idea of inclusion, and this is the problem of the current study that the researcher is dealing with. Where the researcher monitored the reality of integrating the mentally handicapped into public education schools after a series of decisions issued by the Egyptian Ministry of Education, which at the end of which made all the schools of the Republic inclusive schools that allow the mentally handicapped close to those schools to apply to them after fulfilling the papers and conditions, and the researcher found in these studies There are many difficulties and obstacles in the method of integrating the mentally handicapped into public education schools, and these difficulties are multiple, some of which are due to human cadres and others are due to buildings and equipment, including to legislation and decisions. At the end of this study, a proposed scenario can be avoided according to which those difficulties and obstacles that face the integration of the mentally disabled with the ordinary ones can be avoided.

Today, the world is witnessing many variables at the local, regional and other levels at the global level, which requires providing an educational system capable of contributing to facing these changes and the accompanying challenges. One manifestation of those challenges is the reproduction of educational systems and programs from some foreign countries without awareness of the extent of their suitability to the nature of Egyptian society as well. Minor application of information technology, and poor link between education and its outputs. Most educators were the means to achieve these outcomes and develop them and link them to the requirements of the labor market, in light of monitoring reality and future aspirations - the curriculum - with the information, knowledge, skills, trends and values consistent with the characteristics of learners on the one hand, and the aspirations and goals of society on the other hand, armed with a philosophy Flexible educational institutions able to address these challenges; Hence, the process of updating and developing the curriculum was an urgent need, dictated by moral responsibility and the national interest, because it is aimed at the benefit of the most valuable thing owned by society, which is educated today and tomorrow. Believing in the importance and role of the curriculum in preparing students for different academic stages in general, and students of technical education schools in a special person, and its role in improving their outcomes, the Services in Canada Curriculum Services Center issued a set of documents that all emphasized the importance of the curricula keeping pace with aspirations and future changes, and pursuing Its amazing developments in various fields of science, as it stressed the importance of monitoring and analyzing reality, including its successes and failures, and the extent of its impact in setting features for the future, and on the imperative of actual development and modernization of curricula and linking it to the requirements of the labor market. There have been many attempts in the recent period by the Ministry of Education and Technical Education in Egypt to develop curricula and programs for preparing the technical worker in technical education schools in accordance with literary competencies, but these attempts lack many of the educational foundations and rules that must be followed in developing curricula, due to inconsistencies Concepts and visions about what curricula are based on literal competencies, which the working paper will try to present in a scientific way, according to the researcher's personal point of view.
