Abstract

     The research aimed to explore the effectiveness of a counseling program based on schema therapy in cognitive distortions and academic buoyancy among Faculty of Education students, Al-Azhar University. The study sample consisted of (20) students enrolled in the first year at Faculty of Education. Their ages ranged from 17 to 20 years, with a mean age of 18.06 and a standard deviation of 0.80. They were divided into two groups: an experimental group and a control group, each consisting of 10 students. The researchers designed and utilized two scales for cognitive distortions, academic buoyancy scale and the schema therapy based program. Data analysis revealed that there were statistically significant differences between the mean ranks of the experimental group's pre- and post-measurements in the cognitive distortions scale in favor of the post-measurement. There were also statistically significant differences between the mean ranks of the experimental and control groups in the post-measurement of the cognitive distortions scale, with the control group showing higher scores. However, the experimental group demonstrated higher scores on the academic buoyancy scale. Finally, there were no statistically significant differences between the mean ranks of experimental group's post- and follow up-measurements on the scales of cognitive distortions and academic buoyancy.
