This study investigates the patterns of student–teacher interaction in five elementary public schools in Lebanon along four dimensions of classroom environment: teachers’ expectations, teachers’ feedback, use of the students’ ideas, and students’ attitude toward school using Grounded Theorizing and Symbolic Interactionist approaches.

The pedagogy of inquiry and deliberation in higher education in the Arab region
This paper examines the extent to which the official discourse of 36 institutions of higher education in 15 Arab countries pronounces four meanings depicted in the extant literature on the pedagogy of inquiry and deliberation: cooperative/collaborative learning; problem-solving; critical thinking; and discussion/debate. Results derived from the discourse analysis showed a weak emphasis on cooperative learning and discussion/debate while problem s…

Problems and the epistemology of electronic publishing in the Arab world: The case of Lebanon (originally published in September 2001)
Publishing in the Arab world still is in its development stage. Many journals discontinue publication because of financial pressures, while those that asynchronously function are almost totally dependent on institutional (academic) funds. Other barriers as editorial hegemony, national and political instability, and institutional discouragement that hinder researchers and writers to submit or even try to publish work in indigenous Arab journals. S…
The Academic ‘Patras’ of the Arab World: Creating a Climate of Academic Apartheid
This paper discusses factors that are contributing to the rise of what we refer to as an ethos of “academic apartheid” in Arab institutions of higher education. The paper examines the failure of these institutions to overcome their alienation from indigenous epistemology, to emancipate the education they provide from its colonial past, and to move towards the modern information age. The difficult position of Arab academics striving to rediscover,…
Locus of Control and the Attribution for Poverty: Comparing Lebanese and South African University Students
The attitudes of a sample of 443 Lebanese and South African college students towards the causes of poverty as measured by their locus of control and socio-demographic background were studied. Cross-national differences and personality style constructs of external and internal locus of control were used in a MANCOVA design. No significant interaction differences appeared between national status and locus of control, which gave no support to the ma…
Info-Bias Mechanism and American College Students' Attitudes Towards Arabs: American College Students' Attitudes Towards Arabs
This paper investigates American college students' attitudes towards Arabs along four dimensions: government, women, men, and Arabs in general. The study signifies the importance of “info-biased media” in the attitude formation of national groups outside the United States. Hispanics had the lowest positive aggregate; they also had the highest negative aggregate rating of Arabs. College students who had little knowledge of the Arab World were to r…
Attributions of Responsibility for Poverty Among Lebanese and Portuguese University Students: A Cross-Cultural Comparison
This study examines poverty attitudes among Portuguese and Lebanese students ( n =372) along Feagin's fatalistic, individualistic, and structuralistic dimensions. Results show that class and nationality are important variables for predicting the causes of poverty in cross-cultural terms. Lebanese students had higher agreements on the fatalistic dimension of poverty than did Portuguese. Significant differences were found between the middle-class P…
