Abstract The study aimed to reveal the reality of employing the mathematics laboratory and its relation to the development of geometrical proof skills among high school students. Descriptive and semi-experimental methods were used to answer the research questions, and the study conducted a questionnaire administered to the secondary school teachers aimed at revealing the reality of employing the mathematics laboratory from their point of view and a list of geometrical proof skills necessary for high school students. A random sample was selected and represented by the research community that includes female teachers and female students in the secondary stage in Jubail city. The research sample consisted of (12 teachers and 58 students) divided into two groups, the first group included 28 students who studied geometrical proof by employing the mathematics laboratory, and the second group included 29 students who studied geometrical proof without employing the mathematics lab. The results showed that the reality of employing the mathematics laboratory from the point of view of the secondary school teachers in Jubail city was generally moderate, as there are statistically significant differences at the level of (0.01) of the means of scores between the first group and the second group in the skill of inferring relationships and the skill of the evaluation of proof due to the employment of the mathematics laboratory.

Encouragement of humanistic education through the lens of prosocial behavior of adolescents is a complex and extensive issue of the modern world. Prosocial behaviour can indirectly affect the achievement of pupils at school through its connection with some academically relevant forms of behaviour which lead to success at school and work. Also, this connection can be explained by the teacher’s preferences of prosocial pupils, which is reflected in the teacher’s expectations and behaviour towards pupils, as well as the evaluation of their work. Besides, prosocial behaviour can also directly affect pupils since the prosocial interaction of peers can have a positive effect on the intellectual exchanges between pupils, which contributes to a more successful learning process. Taking into consideration the significance and role of the school and teachers, as representatives of the educational process, in encouraging prosocial behaviour in the young at secondary schools, we face a problem: Do secondary school teachers encourage prosocial humanistic behaviour of the young, by what actions and activities are they guided in the process and how does that reflect on the behaviour of pupils? This study tried to give some answers related to this problem in the field of education.

<span>The purpose of this study was to explore secondary school teachers' perceptions of interactive whiteboard (IWB) training workshops in Taiwan. This study also sought to identify potential problems associated with the design of IWB training workshops in order to improve their effectiveness. This research employed observations and interviews to collect research data. Observations were made at the training sites, and interviews were conducted with six secondary school teachers from two junior high schools located in central Taiwan. The research data suggest that teachers valued the benefits of using IWBs in classrooms and recognised the necessity of attending training workshops. The teachers also emphasised that knowing practical IWB uses was extremely important and helpful to them to integrate this promising tool meaningfully into their teaching. As a consequence of the research some suggestions have been provided for the purpose of improving the quality of training workshops based on adult learning theories.</span>
