Beyond the Classroom

Student Activities In Medicinal Plants
“Flora Of Mansoura National University”

Under the patronage of Prof. Dr. Cherif Examples of Plants Identified
by Students
Khater, the University President, and the
leadership of Assoc. Prof. Ahmed R. El-
Sheakh, along with the supervision of
Assoc. Prof. Yahya Amin and Assoc. Prof.
Amal Fathi, and under the mentorship of the
pharmacognosy teaching assistance staff,
a first-level student at the college initiated
the identification of plants available within
the university’s surroundings using modern
electronic applications.

The students were divided into groups of five
and ensured the accuracy of the information
by conducting online research based on sound
scientific principles, guided by professors
and teaching assistants. The student then
compiled a report on each plant, including
basic information, benefits, available uses,
and the latest scientific research published
about it in specialized scientific journals. This
was done in preparation for creating botanical
identification cards in a dedicated file named
“MNU Flora” as part of the activities of
the Pharmacognosy Department, aiming to
provide real-world training for the student.

This activity is part of the PBL approach,
which emphasizes the value of research and
exploration. It aims to enhance effective
collaboration among students and their ability
to benefit from e-learning and technological
advancements, as well as strengthen their
research skills, information evaluation,
and broaden their research and innovative
orientations in the field of pharmacy.
