Cognitive Creativity in the Clutches of Artificial Intelligence: Critical Educational and Psychological Readings
This theoretical study explores the relationship between human creativity and artificial intelligence within contemporary intellectual and educational discourse. It critically examines how the increasing integration of artificial intelligence into creative and cognitive processes may reshape the nature of creativity itself. Drawing on classical and modern theories of creativity in psychology and education, the study conceptualizes creativity as a multidimensional human capacity grounded in cognitive flexibility, lived experience, emotional intelligence, and ethical judgment. The analysis highlights concerns that excessive reliance on artificial intelligence may constrain creative autonomy, encourage cognitive passivity, and promote standardized patterns of thought and production. Rather than viewing artificial intelligence solely as a technological advancement, the study frames it as a transformative epistemic agent that challenges traditional understandings of human originality and innovation. The study argues that while artificial intelligence can support creative activity, it should not replace the reflective, critical, and experiential dimensions that define human creativity. It concludes by emphasizing the necessity of a human-centered theoretical framework that safeguards creativity as a fundamentally human attribute in the age of intelligent automation.

Generative Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education: An Educational Analysis of Its Implications for Academic Performance and the Role of the University Instructor
Higher education has witnessed rapid transformations in recent years due to the advanced development of generative artificial intelligence models, which have become capable of producing sophisticated academic content that closely resembles human output. This development has reshaped the university learning environment, directly influencing students’ academic performance and redefining the role and identity of university instructors. This study aims to examine the impact of generative artificial intelligence models on students’ academic performance in higher education and to analyze the implications of this impact for the pedagogical and professional role of university instructors. The study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach based on a review and analysis of relevant educational literature and recent studies. The findings indicate that generative artificial intelligence can support deep learning and enhance analytical and reasoning skills when appropriately integrated into educational practices. However, excessive or unregulated reliance on these models may undermine authentic learning and reduce students’ independent cognitive effort. The study emphasizes the need to redefine the role of the university instructor as a facilitator of learning and an ethical and cognitive guide for the responsible use of generative artificial intelligence, in order to preserve academic values and ensure the quality of higher education.

Using artificial intelligence applications in preparing visual teaching aids for physics lessons
The current research aims to utilize artificial intelligence applications in developing visual teaching aids, such as images or diagrams, for physics lessons within the curriculum. Based on previous studies and the researcher's teaching experience, it was found that obtaining or developing visual teaching aids for physics lessons is challenging. This was also evident in the results of a preliminary survey conducted by the researcher, which included several expert teachers with advanced degrees in physics or physics teaching methodologies. The researcher experimented with several artificial intelligence applications to develop a set of visual teaching aids for various topics in the sixth-grade physics curriculum. A method for developing these aids was developed using generative language modeling (GLM), a simple and straightforward approach implemented through the Gemini application. After generating the aids, they were reviewed by experts to ensure their suitability and effectiveness for the intended learning objectives. After consulting with experts, the researcher concluded that the AI-generated visual learning aids are sound, easy to prepare, and suitable for use in schools. However, they require linguistic review when using Arabic, necessitating minor text editing using image editing software. The researcher recommended using AI applications in developing visual learning aids for physics lessons.

Effective teaching methods among university students
Teachers can employ some effective teaching strategies in the teaching-learning process, which students interact with to develop and enhance their cognitive structures and enhance their learning experiences and skills. Therefore, effective teaching strategies are the first seed through which teachers can move to create appropriate conditions that enhance teachers' experience and enhance their learning.Students' motivations, educational desires, and academic achievement (Azzi, 2014). However, the use of effective teaching strategies faces numerous obstacles and impediments, which prevent teachers from practicing them. This negatively impacts the teaching process in the classroom, and these fields are interconnected with each other, which negatively affects classroom teaching and the achievement of the goals of the teaching and learning process (Mansour, 2016). At the end of the research, we addressed in the first chapter the methodology Which represents the research problem, research objectives, and importance of the research.
