Middle School Homeroom Teachers
This study examines the perceptions of middle school homeroom teachers in the Israeli state Hebrew education system regarding their role, challenges, and professional training. Homeroom teachers manage classrooms, foster students’ social and emotional growth, and serve as liaisons between students, parents, and staff. Despite their centrality, they receive minimal formal training. The research, based on a qualitative approach, includes 36 middle …
A transnational lens
This article employs a transnational educational history framework to examine the diffusion of knowledge between medical and educational professionals in Ottoman Palestine. It posits that ideas travel across borders through professional networks of actors, who then adapt, or “lend and borrow,” these concepts to suit local conditions. The key actors in this study are the interacting networks of European-trained physicians and teachers in Jaffa-Tel…
Learning the Practice from the Practice
In teacher education programs, it is important to deepen knowledge alongside developing practices through practical experience. One practice of the Professional Development School’s (PDS) model in clinical experience is designing courses linking theory to practice. The present study examines the perception of the administrative officers in colleges of education in Israel regarding the Ministry of Education’s Theory–Practice (TP) courses and the c…
To Be a Teacher, a Wife and Mother, and a Zionist Culture Creator in the Pre-State Era
Following earlier studies on progressive education, nation building, and women teachers’ history, this article examines the lives of four women during the period of the Yishuv who cultivated professional identities while also raising families. All four strove to educate students according to their own pedagogical visions despite a lack of appropriate educational means. The four women teachers faced the challenge and created educational tools base…
The image of the ‘good teacher’ in the modern school in Eretz Israel, 1885-1914
This article discusses the image of the ‘good Hebrew teacher’ as perceived by the leading Hebrew teachers in Eretz Israel. The discourse, which began with the establishment of modern schools, developed in professional meetings of the leading Hebrew teachers and was reflected in teachers’ articles in the press and the professional journal Hahinuch, where they discussed the characteristics of the teacher’s personality and knowledge and of the teach…
Problem-based learning, self- and peer assessment in higher education
This study sought to delineate the implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and peer- and self- assessment in a teacher training programme. This intervention was accompanied by measuring the participants’ perceptions of the PBL environment and the assessment methods used compared with those of other courses they were previously enrolled in. Another aim was to reveal the most effective perceived PBL constructivist activities in enhancing the…
Israeli teacher training 1948-2019
This article discusses the declared policy of the Ministry of Education regarding teacher training over seven decades, and examines the ways teacher training institutions have dealt with its implementation and the attendant educational, policy, and professional problems. The central thesis is that these fundamental issues were created and continue to exist because of the dual (and often contradictory) policy of the Ministry of Education and the d…
Enhancing perceived digital literacy skills and creative self-concept through gamified learning environments
The design of the ‘new Hebrew’ between image and reality
This article deals with the education, the formation and the image of the student during the first years of the ‘Hebrew educational system’ in Eretz Yisrael. The Hebrew school was influenced by a strong wish to educate an individual to be productive and close to nature, in contrast to the image of the studious Jew, both traditional and modern. By way of examining whether and to what extent this approach resulted in a provincial nationalistic type…
The Hebrew Teachers as Creators of the Zionist Community in (the Land of) Israel
This article discusses the role of teachers in the formation of Israeli society, from the First Aliyah until the 1968 integration reform. The period studied is comprised of four sub-periods, during each of which teachers filled different roles. These roles included a contribution to reviving and spreading the language, creating educational and establishment tools, ideological training, and integration of the new immigrants into Israeli society. T…
Between the dream and the reality

It describes the gap between leaders' statements – declaring their commitment to educate the younger generation to be productive and work or…
