The third longitudinal research seminar for this year focused on the findings from the teachers’ sub-sample years 2022-2023.
In the first part of the seminar, Dr. Orly Lipka introduced the subject, highlighting how the COVID-19 pandemic over the past two years presented teachers with unprecedented challenges, leading to increased pressures and unique teaching conditions. To shed light on teacher functioning amidst this changing reality, three thesis studies and a pilot study were then presented, complementing a multidimensional theoretical approach and covering various aspects from the personal level to interfaces with students.
- Yasmin Aloni: How do demographic changes affect teacher well-being in the post COVID-19era?
- Sumoud Khatib-Abbas: Identifying profiles of struggling 3rd-grade students by Arabic mother-tongue teachers.
- Samar Sayegh: Examining the relationship between teacher self-efficacy and students’ literacy achievement and self-perception in reading.
- Rania Tarif: Teachers’ knowledge of reading comprehension among Hebrew language teachers.
