It also aimed to uncover statistically significant differences, if any, in the response of the sample due to the variables of sex and academic rank. To achieve the objectives of this study, the descriptive and analytical approach was used by applying the questionnaire to 130 faculty members of the researchers at the rank of professor, associate professor, and assistant professor, in each of the educational departments: educational policies, educational administration, special education, and psychology.

Based on the results, the study presented a set of recommendations and made several proposals.
