Scientific research and expertise and its role in developing education

 We notice that school students gather around a researcher to discuss his graduation project and its importance in the field of science and medicine. An engineer explains to high school students about nanotechnology and how to use it in medicine. Another engineer explains to students the importance of mathematics in his work. Another researcher in historical sciences explains to students the importance of knowing other cultures and their development and the sciences they practiced and excelled in throughout history and how they developed to the present time. A doctor from a prestigious university gave a lot to university students about biology and is now retired and devoted to introducing primary school children to the human body through practical application in an enjoyable way. All of these are examples of employees from all walks of life, who gathered to help the teacher advance his educational material and motivate students to recognize the importance of the materials studied. And to give to the country that gave them and granted them a decent life as a return of the favor by educating and advancing the rising generation.
I imagine that I am dreaming, but the educational process does not advance except with the efforts of its children and the support of local universities and related organizations.

We will not talk here about the importance of integrating higher and general education, as there are those who have more experience in the field of education and have lived through education and know the benefits of integrating these educational stages. However, I will talk here from my point of view as a researcher who cares about the quality of education and scientific research and the quality of its impact on school students.


Enriching education with experiences and expertise

Scientific research in developing education

University/higher education, including all affiliates, students, researchers, engineers, administrators, and others who have sufficient experience in practical research and how each is managed according to his field of specialization, and we do not exclude companies, factories, health sectors, and other sectors that have long experience in the field of specialization.

Education in schools is considered the cornerstone for creating a generation capable of advancing the nation and advancing it among nations. The subjects studied are basic and important in all areas of life. However, the important question here remains: How are the subjects taught in the classroom and enriched with useful practical experience?


To enrich education with modern practical experiences, the process needs help and support from specialists and experts from all sciences and their branches. For example, mathematics and statistics are used not only in engineering alone, but in medicine, biotechnology, biology, and others. Similarly, biology and mathematics have their multiple uses in the field of medicine and genetics.


Therefore, I think it is important to focus on basic sciences and clarify their importance in other sub-sciences and precise specializations.


Scientific research in schools /

The basics of scientific research should be built starting from schools from an early age, by starting with introducing them to scientific research in its simplest forms and developing the basic skills related to scientific research (such as research and investigation skills, for example), and then gradually activating critical thinking in children and supporting it with evidence and proofs and how to analyze topics logically through research and experimentation.

Teaching the basics of practical research in general depends on the teacher, as he is the one who communicates with students and knows the tendencies of each of them, and he is also supposed to be familiar with their ways of thinking and appropriate incentives.

As I mentioned earlier, it is necessary for teachers to benefit from specialists, researchers and experts so that they share their experiences and experiments in the classroom. However, the question remains: How can we coordinate between workers, researchers and those with experience in all sectors and how can we develop curricula and experiences that students go through on an ongoing basis? We may need national government initiatives to undertake this process and inoculate materials and the educational process with modern experiences and expertise to ensure the continuity of such efforts and their expansion to achieve the greatest possible benefit, God willing.
