Higher education is considered the center of scientific and social progress, because it qualifies individuals to serve society in various fields of life. Therefore, the faculty member has become the main pillar in building future generations, so his energies should be blown to make his teaching practices innovative, distinctive and creative. This study aims to develop a scale of creative university teaching practices at King Faisal University, and to know the degree of reliance of faculty members on creative teaching practices. Furthermore, it aims to know the relationship between creative teaching practices and some personality variables. To achieve this, 50 items, distributed on four dimensions, were formulated and the construct validity of the scale was tested using the Rasch Model measurement. The study sample consisted of (150) respondents. The findings showed that the faculty members rely on creative teaching practices with a high degree in the whole scale. The findings also showed that there were statistically significant differences based on gender in favor of males, and there were no statistically significant differences based on faculty, academic rank and teaching experience. This study recommends conducting more research to find out the reasons for the different level of creative teaching practices between male and female faculty members, and determine their level of performance.

The developed scale covered four concepts including the value of rationalization of consumption (R), the value of work (W), value of respect public property ownership (O) and value of respect workers and professionals and their appreciation (A). The validity and reliability of the 55 items were tested using Raasch Model analysis. The study sample consisted of (310) respondents.

Better classroom evaluation may have positive effects on students' learning, according to research and practice from the past ten years. United Arab Emirates (UAE) values the assessment of procedures used in teaching, as an integral part in the evaluation of their effectiveness. Through evaluation, the results realized, help in measuring the effectiveness of curricula and methods used in teaching. This, therefore, affects stakeholders in education, the teachers, and most importantly, the students. This study aims at cross-examining students’ performance in mathematics, especially at the high school level, in the UAE. Also, this evaluation has a multi-criteria so the concept of multi-criteria decision-making is used in this paper. But this process has vague and uncertain information, so the neutrosophic theory is used to solve this problem. The neutrosophic sets integrated with the MCDM methodology. The neutrosophic AHP method is used to compute the weights of criteria and evaluate the classroom.

This study endeavors to investigate the role of female teachers of childhood education in directing children towards the effective use of smart devices in developing their learning experiences. The sample of the study consisted of 83 female teachers in the northern region of Jordan, who were selected using the available sampling method. To achieve the aim of the study, a semi-structured interview was prepared and its validity and consistency were verified.The results shown that childhood education female teachers achieved advanced roles in directing children towards the effective use of smart devices, where effective direction towards the use of smart devices was represented in: directing children to self-organize their learning during using smart devices, directing children to acquire digital social interaction skills and directing them to learn innovation during using smart devices, with the importance of directing them to avoid the harms of using smart devices through preventive guidance.Moreover, the findings of the study revealed the importance of directing children to participate in various digital activities, as well as directing them to learn through digital applications that are purposeful and suitable to their mental capabilities.
