The main aim of this research was to investigate the relationship between secondary teachers' attitudes toward teaching for creativity and their professional development via the correlational-descriptive method. The sample consisted of 49 Saudi secondary school teachers who were selected randomly from the Qatif's secondary schools of KSA. The instrument of this study was developed by Wadaani (2015), which consisted of 16 items on a five-point Likert scale. One hypothesis was established to examine the correlation of the research variables via the descriptive analysis and the multiple regression analysis The findings of this study show that there is a significant positive relationship between teachers attitudes toward teaching for creativity and their professional development, but this relationship is weak based on its effect size, which is just 16.03% since R (square) is at 0,1603, indicating that teachers' attitudes toward teaching for creativity are partially related to their professional development and it may be possible to predict it. This study recommended that teachers should focus on their development via the training programs and these training programs should be designed in a way that encourages them to participate and react by means of providing incentives during the training.

This study aimed to highlight the challenge that Secondary School teachers face in integrating the Islamic concept of tawhid in teaching science and history subjects. The research employed a qualitative design using a case study and collect data. A purposive sample consisting of 5 teachers from Al-Amin Islamic Secondary School was selected based on teaching experience. The teachers were interviewed according to a theme-based strategy, and collected data was transcribed and analyzed accordingly. Findings have shown that integrating tawhid in the subjects of Science and History is an aim that teachers in Islamic schools in Malaysia hope to achieve. However, obstacles and challenges continue to hinder their efforts. Theoretical and practical propositions and recommendations to make this aim achievable, such as revisiting the concept of tawhid integration, enhancing teachers' creativity skills in the classroom, and providing relevant training programs by school authorities, would undoubtedly help attain their ultimate objective.
