The name (Education Sciences) is the new name, the correct scientific name, and the alternative name for the common, non-scientific nomenclature (Department of education and psychology), which originated from the Arab Mashreq. This specialty, which originated in the West, is known as (Education) and ((Educational Science). This science deals with the basic components of the educational system and the educational process, namely: educational management; educational curricula; teaching methods and educational technologies; educational measurement and evaluation; social and psychological origins of the educational process. The common translation of the concept of (Education in English) to (Department of education in Arabic) gives an inaccurate definition from the scientific point of view of this specialty for the difference in the cultural meaning of the two concepts in the two languages concerned, because the concept of (Education) in English means school education; and that the concept of (education) in Arabic means the refinement of morals, which has absolutely nothing to do with this specialty. Therefore, our department at the Libyan Academy of higher studies is honored to be the first to refer to this scientific correction; and to be a pioneer in adopting the name (Department of Education Sciences). It should be noted that everyone who holds the following scientific qualifications Master of Education, Doctor of Education and Doctor of Philosophy is a specialist in a field of Educational Sciences.
