This research is an exploratory, quantitative examination of the knowledge, understanding and promotion of teacher leadership in a public school in the city of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Within Abu Dhabi education has become a top priority as it attempts, through a massive reform project, to develop a modern, innovative, world-class system which puts students first. Teacher leadership is thought to be one way in which a reform project can be supported and student learning can be improved. The participants in this study were drawn from an Abu Dhabi all-female primary school with both expatriate and Emirati teachers. Though some dissimilarities between the Emirati and expatriate teachers emerged, overall findings indicated that teacher leadership as it pertains to improving classroom practices through professional development was the focus and preference of teachers. However, they felt that teacher leadership was most commonly represented through teachers performing additional administrative duties. T...

A growing body of empirical evidence points to a child’s earliest years as a critical period for developing the foundation for later learning. Yet neither parents nor public policy in the Middle East and North Africa actively support such development. We developed, tested, and administered a survey to a small number of parents of children aged six years and under in Casablanca, Morocco in 2013 to assess parents’ child development knowledge and how they view their role as teachers of their young children. We used multiple regression models to predict parental knowledge and parental engagement in learning activities with their sons and separately with their daughters. Results indicate that nearly half of parents believe that brain development does not begin until after a child’s first year of life. Consistent with these beliefs, parents report engaging in learning activities with their young children less frequently than Western parents; they also relate that they would be unlikely to enroll their young children in high quality child care programs, even if cost were not a factor. Parents who indicated feeling a high level of individual control over life events were less knowledgeable about child development. Those who believe that God controls life events were both more knowledgeable and reported more engagement in learning activities. Parents who reported turning to professional sources for information on child development were likelier to engage in learning activities. The general view that teaching and learning in the first years are unimportant may help to explain the poor academic performance of Moroccan children later in life relative to those of children from other nations with similar economic status. Education of the public regarding the importance of early-years development could help inform parents and policymakers. Services that might be offered to reinforce this message are discussed.

This study analyzes attitudes of different ethnic identities from ethnic, religious and socio-cultural aspects. The study is also concerned with the diversity of general attitudes of ethnic identities that forms a rich structure with different ethnic groups and different components within boundaries of Turkey. Determining dimensions of shared ethnic, religious and socio-cultural identities and attitudes of these identities particularly from the point of values will provide us with a clearer and comparative picture of preferences of Turkey’s rich mosaic that includes various groups. The study aims to measure with validity and reliability tests attitudes of ethnic groups inhabiting Madin Province. Preparing points of measurement, consulting with experts for content validity, trial practice, conducting validity and reliability tests are the steps followed during the development of the measurement instrument. The first section of the two-part questionnaire form contains information on socio-demographic details of participants, while the second section includes preferences that measures value attitudes of participants with certain values. SPSS 17.0 software has been used to analyze data. Various statistical techniques have been utilized in the research and in the evaluation of the data.
