This article demonstrates the significance of using academic journals in teaching history through the example of the governance system of the Mamluks in Egypt. To elucidate this issue, several recent academic studies published in the republic and abroad (including articles by Reuven Amitai, Carl F. Petry, David Ayalon, Jane Hathaway, J. P. Berkey, and A. Hasanov) have been analyzed from a historiographical perspective. The article also highlights how the use of academic articles enriches the teaching process and serves as an essential tool in developing students’ critical thinking and historical reasoning skills.
