Specific education should be encouraged at higher education levels, particularly in educational media. However, its adoption remains challenging due to unclear objectives and ineffective practices. Highimpact educational practices (HIEPs) would provide an incentive for improved learning among the students. Thus, the current study focuses on the high impact of educational practices in exploring the importance of HIEPs in higher education in general and the educational media for specific education at Mansoura University in particular. Fifty faculty members in the field of educational media from specific educational colleges across various Egyptian universities participated in the survey. The study identifies the government's focus on quantity over quality, poor teaching standards, and social inequalities as critical factors necessitating the implementation of HIEPs. In turn, all these practices add to deriving improved engagement, delivery of transferable and elementary skills, or synthesizing learning from related courses. The study concluded that it is important for the Department of Educational Media and its sub-specialties, including Drama, Educational Theatre, Radio, Television, and Educational Journalism, to integrate HIEPs and foster innovative practices in theatre education, in light of the 21st-century skills, skills gaps, ICT implementation, and support of teachers to increase the sustainability, particularly in educational media.

The present research aims to evaluate the educational outcomes of the Academic Programme for Educational Theatre at the Faculty of Specific Education at Mansoura University in Egypt to ensure that the graduates are ready for the changing conditions of the economy and the needs of the labour market. Concerning the same, the adoption of educational theatre as a model had not been evaluated in the country. Methodology and research methods. The current study finds the role of SLOs, CLOs, PLOs, and ILOs as measures to examine the impact of the educational theatre model. Using a mixed method with the survey of 50 students and interviews of 20 faculty members of the Academic Programme for Educational Theatre, the identification of educational theatre's impact on the learning outcomes of students is determined. Results. The results show that academic educational programmes depend on the performing arts and the participation of the learner in vocal performance, acting, and movement, activate the learning process and make the educational environment more effectively and greatly improve the learning and practice process. The results also emphasised the significance of educational institutions, particularly universities, in adopting academic programmes that incorporate practical experience, training, hands-on activities, and utilising appropriate evaluation methods. Scientific novelty. These academic educational models help engage students to create a positive emotional state, drive curiosity, strive to excel, build national character, focus on social issues, and believe in their capabilities. Practical significance. Accreditation of academic programmes based on practice and training develops students psychologically and mentally and raises the level of academic achievement and professional and personal development. Therefore, the study recommended the adoption of educational theatre courses in Egypt to ensure that the students are prepared to adapt to the changes in the labour market.

Although the traditional education system serves as a good source of knowledge, they have been consistently proven to lack emphasis on the overall development of students. Therefore, in recent years, the integration of art in education has been promoted. Education media and education theater are interactive education methodologies that improve the learning experience of students and develop their cognitive skills. This study assesses the research gaps in the field of educational media and educational theater through a comparison of critical studies published in Scopus and the Web of Science database. The areas of educational media prevalence, usage of theater in education, educational media role, and benefits of educational theater have been explored. The analysis identifies the main problems and is based on the current education sector needs. Accordingly, suggestions for improvement for the Egyptian education ministry are provided.

It employs the use of different forms of art to promote teaching and learning in schools. The practice has positively influenced the lives of school-going children. One importance derived from its application is the enhancement of students' communication skills. While the educational theater has received a positive light and adopted in many educational fronts, it has also encountered several challenges that have limited its effectiveness. This paper, therefore, seeks to uncover the reality behind theater application in schools by using SWOT analysis. The paper focuses on Egyptian education and schools as the case study. The questionnaire was implemented as a data survey tool in four Egyptian governorates, which included 186 experts and teachers in the various educational departments. The technique examines a given subject analytically and presents its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. From the analysis results, it is observed that school educational theater enhances learners' self-esteem and promotes self-actualization. Several gaps were also pinpointed, including inadequate training among teachers and substandard content quality in the Egyptian education system and schools. The launching of the 2014-2030 educational strategic plans provided several opportunities for strengthening the effectiveness of educational theater. Possible erosion of students' moral values was among the threats identified when applying theatrics in the teaching and learning processes. The study concluded through its results the challenges facing the educational theater in Egypt, despite the problems of lack of funding, technical capabilities, and real opportunities to activate school activities in the educational field. The results of this study will provide an opportunity for different stakeholders in education to examine the nature of theater practices within their jurisdictions carefully, and hence formulate relevant policies to make the practice better and effective in driving the desired academic outcomes.

The technological development of media has a growing impact on various spheres of life, including education. New technologies enhance access to information and could affect the quality of training. The term “media education” was developed. Media education implies the study of impact and the use of media (press, television, radio broadcasting, advertising, the Internet with all its applications) not only by specialists in this field, but also by ordinary consumers of information for critical perception and good application. These media tools make the static and passive learning process more dynamic and interactive inside and outside the school. In specific education (musical, theatrical, sports, etc.), educational media combined with traditional techniques also begin to be involved as the tools, which motivate students for studies. Above all, educational media provide greater opportunities to identify students’ talents, to develop their abilities and skills (e.g., langu...
