On Facebook and Twitter, it was followed by content related to the vaccine and vaccination, and then the content of Corona numbers. Qesbook account users have started to interact more with content at the level of commenting, sharing, and emoji, compared to Twitter users. At the subject level, the interaction paths of Facebook and Twitter users with content varied between complaint, criticism, support and inquiry. The complaints of Facebook users focused on the lack of a vaccine, and the interaction focused on support in calling for the demise of Egypt and the world, and at the level of interaction with criticism, Facebook users were more inclined to question the numbers that come out of the ministry, accusing it of lack of transparency.

Abstract: A descriptive study aims to monitor the angles and frameworks of religious handling of precautionary measures related to the Corona pandemic on the account of Dar Al-Ifta on Facebook, describing the trend of users’ comments on this content, and analyzing the relationship between the angles and frameworks of dealing with Dar Al-Ifta’s content of precautionary measures to organize worship and the users’ direction towards it. The research relies on the content analysis tool to explore the angles and frameworks of content handling of the precautionary measures for Covid-19, and the users' attitudes towards these measures, as they appear in their comments.

The role of educational content in raising the skill of media students in detecting false news on digital platforms A field study on a sample of students from media colleges and departments in Arab universities, December. 2021, Journal of Umm Al-Qura University for Social Sciences, Vol: 13, pp.107 - 135, Jun 2022
Abstract The study aimed to test the hypothesis of the relationship between the rates of interest of media education courses in the component of "critical thinking" (at the two levels: knowledge and skill) and the rates of media students' benefit from mechanisms for verifying the credibility of news content on social media platforms, both internal evaluation mechanisms for methods of content delivery, based on An individual's cognitive experiences, or external validation mechanisms through critical comparisons of content. The study relied on the survey method, in addition to the comparative method. Using the questionnaire tool in the process of data collection, the study sample consisted of (150) students from media colleges in Arab universities using the available sample method. The results of the study showed that social media platforms are a basic information and knowledge resource for students of media faculties and departments, and this intensity of use is an important factor that prompted media faculties and departments to include critical thinking courses and media or digital education within the educational content system that they rely on in preparing and the development of a number of basic knowledge and concepts among students. The students seemed affected in their assessment of the types of information most likely to be falsified on communication platforms by their rates of use of these platforms, and it was proven that there are differences between students in evaluating the types of information most likely to lie according to the degree to which they benefit from different types of digital platforms. Evaluate visual information as the most likely information to lie. Students use a number of mechanisms to ensure the credibility of content on social media platforms, especially the comparison mechanism. Then comes the content writing language testing mechanism. It has been proven that the students’ resort to the linguistic verification mechanism of content credibility has a significant relationship to the degree of students’ comprehension of knowledge related to critical thinking, and that resorting to the “comparison” mechanism in verifying the credibility of the content is related to the degree of students’ comprehension of the elements of critical thinking. Key Words: Educational content - digital platforms - credibility - false news - verification of credibility - media students.

The Role of Arab Academies in Educating Students about the Dangers of Psychological Effects of Social Media: a Study of the Concepts and Functions of Digital Education, Journal of Statistics and Probability Applications, published in Issue 1, January 2020.
Abstract This study aimed to identify the role of Arab academies in educating students about the dangers of psychological influences of social media, and how the paths of relationship are formed between the degree of awareness of Arab academies of the functions of digital education and its roles in raising a critical mind among college students. The survey method was used in both descriptive and interpretative aspects, and it uses the questionnaire as a data collection tool. The study concluded that the most prominent indications of the awareness of faculty members about the concept of digital education and its functions are reflected in their assertion that the behavioral and moral sides are among the most prominent elements that constitute this concept, and that the educational dimension works next to the educational dimension in defining the roles of faculty members in digital education for students. In addition, female faculty members see that university students are keen on exposure to all types of content (negative, positive and balanced) available on communication sites with close averages, without weighing one type sharply over another. And that the most prominent effects of high exposure rates on communication sites on the mental health of students are determined by isolation, and then by a decrease in the degree of satisfaction with reality. A high percentage of female faculty members specializing in social and human sciences was noted, which increased the influence of the specialty factor, as most of them have a cognitive awareness of theories of psychology and theories of psychological and mental development and cognitive development of adolescents and young adults, which increases their awareness of the psychological risks of exposure to social media. On the other hand, the statistical analysis did not prove the existence of an effect for both age and academic factors on the evaluation of faculty members of the effect of exposure to communication sites on academic achievement. Keywords: psychological effects, social media, job concepts, digital education, academies.
