Teachers' Role in Developing Students ' Academic Skills: A field Study on Some Secondary Schools Teachers in al-Marj City

Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the teacher role in developing students' academic skills. To achieve this, the descriptive approach was used, and the research population consisted of secondary schools in the city of Al-Marj (New Thought School, New Generation School, Abdul Aziz School, Al-Zahraa School). The research was conducted on a random sample of (200) male and female teachers in secondary schools in the city of Al-Marj. The study's findings revealed the teacher has an important role in developing students' academic skills, as s/he is the one who provides the opportunity to deal with students in a fraternal manner based on respect and appreciation between the teacher and the student. It fosters trust and respect among classmates, and this mutual trust and respect among students contributes to the success of the educational process within the school. It also helps the teacher develop learning and study skills by employing diverse methods to deliver information and the prescribed curriculum. This, in turn, varies between male and female teachers according to several variables measured in the study.
