The effectiveness of preposed training program in sustainable health on students’ acquisition of health concepts and their perceptions of sustainable healthy lifestyles
Purpose: The research aims to investigate the effectiveness of training program in sustainable health on grade nine students’ acquisition of health concepts and their perceptions of a sustainable healthy lifestyle. Design/methodology/approach: To achieve the aims of the study, two study groups were involved in the quasi-experimental design: an experimental group (70 students, 37 males and 33 females) and a control group (68 students, 38 males and 30 females). The authors produced two guides, one for teachers and another one for students to be used with the experimental group students. Moreover, two research instruments were used to collect the data. The first one was the Health Concepts Acquisition Test (HCAT) (consisting of 40 items), whereas the second instrument was the Students’ Perceptions of Sustainable Healthy Lifestyles Scale (SPSHLS) (consisting of 38 statements). The Cronbach’s alpha reliability of the two instruments was 0.714 for HCAT and 0.808 for SPSHLS. Findings: The study showed statistically significant differences at (a = 0.05) in both students’ acquisition of health concepts and perceptions of sustainable healthy lifestyles, in favor of female students and the experimental group. Originality/value: The study is among very few studies in the Arab Region targeting school students’ healthy lifestyles. The two guides were produced using active learning strategies and they can be adopted in another context.

The Degree to which Science Teachers in the Sultanate of Oman Practice Social -Emotional Learning Skills in the Classroom Situation from the Students’ Point of View.
The study aimed to reveal the degree to which science teachers in the Sultanate of Oman practice social-emotional learning skills in the classroom from the students’ point of views. The study adopted the descriptive analytical approach to achieve its aims based on a questionnaire which consisted of comprising (27) statements distributed over five main domins (enhancing self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, social relations, and responsible decision-making). The reliability coefficient reached of the questionnaire is (0.939). The study was adminstered to a sample of (1470) male and female students from the ninth and tenth grades in the six Omani governorates. The results of the study revealed that science teachers' practice of social-emotional learning skills in the Sultanate of Oman was moderate from the students’ point of view. The results of the study also revealed a statistically significant difference in six domains. In addition, thre is a signifcatint diffrernce due to sex in favor of female students in enhancing self-awareness and erasing social awareness and in the class grade level variable in favor of the ninth-grade students in all domains. The study recommended the necessity of implementing training workshops for science teachers on social-emotional learning skills in the classroom setting. Keywords: practices, teachers, social-emotional learning, students, skills.

Analyzing classroom dialogue forms in synchronous science classes via Google Meet
This study aimed to identify the forms of classroom dialogue in synchronous science classes through Google Meet and explore the difficulties that hinder effective classroom dialogue in synchronous science classes from the point of view of science teachers. The study used a descriptive approach and the sample consisted of 10 science teachers teaching grades (5-8). A class observation card was used to analyze the forms of classroom dialogue. The study results showed that science teachers frequently used whole dialogue in science classes compared to non-whole dialogue. The teacher’s thinking through ideas with students had a higher relative weight than other forms of the whole dialogue. In addition, the results indicated a lack of students only talking in science classes. The results showed some difficulties in activating classroom dialogue in synchronous science classes. Several recommendations and suggestions are proposed to enhance science teaching through the online form. Keywords: Analyzing classroom, forms, synchronous, science class, Google Meet

School students’ awareness on air pollution and its health effects in the Sultanate of Oman
The current study aimed to investigate the level of Omani school students’ awareness of air pollution and its health effects due to gender and grade variables. A study was conducted in four governorates in Oman, viz. Muscat, Al Dakhiliyah, north and south Al Batinah, in the 2022/2023 academic year. A closed online questionnaire was used with a total of 1,337 respondents from grades 9th, 10th, & 11th. The results of the study showed that the level of students’ awareness regarding air pollution and its health effects was moderate. Significant differences in students’ awareness of air pollution and its health effects due to gender and grade variables were obtained. Female students were more vulnerable than males to the effects of air pollution, hence they were significantly careful about air quality when doing outdoor sports activities. In contrast, male students’ awareness of the schools’ role regarding air pollution awareness and reduction actions was significantly higher than female students. Social media was a main source of access to information about air pollution. Inhaling contaminated air was the most common route of exposure to the toxic air pollutants reported by participants.

Teachers’ Perceptions of their Self-Efficacy in Distance Education and its Relationship to their Teaching Practices in Virtual Classrooms in the Sultanate of Oman
This study identified teachers' perceptions of their self-efficacy in distance education and its relationship to their teaching practices in virtual classrooms. The study used a perception scale and an observation card. The sample consisted of 249 teachers. Twenty teachers of the sample were selected to have their teaching practices in the academic year 2020/2021 observed. The descriptive analytical method was used to collect data and reach the results. The results of the study showed that the teachers’ perceptions of their self-efficacy in distance education came at a high level and their teaching practices in distance education came at a medium level. Also, the results showed that there is no statistically significant correlation between teachers’ perceptions of their self-efficacy in distance education and the reality of their teaching practices in virtual classrooms. The study recommended identifying a list of skills required for distance education and implementing training programs that meet the needs of teachers in technical applications for digital teaching to continue to employ technology and e-learning platforms.
