The Exception and the Genius: Dr Reda Hegazy

Our eminent scholar Dr Reda Hegazy took an interest in neuro-linguistic programming and its techniques for simplifying the concepts of chemistry

Our professor is interested in chemistry, since chemistry is one of the most abstract school subjects, because it involves:

  • invisible concepts (the atom – bonds – reactions)

  • symbols and equations

  • complex causal relationships

Hence the importance of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) as a psychological and educational approach that helps to:

  • simplify concepts

  • change learners' negative attitudes

  • improve deep understanding and learning outcomes

Among the most important techniques:

Reframing

  • Turning the idea that «chemistry is a difficult subject» into «chemistry is the language of nature».

  • Treating mistakes as opportunities to learn rather than as failure.

Its effect:
Raising motivation and reducing anxiety about science.
