YouTube has been shown to be a rich source for teaching speaking in EFL contexts. However, the use of YouTube is developing speaking skills is still understudied in the Saudi EFL context. The full use and awardees of YouTube resources are not well articulated by many EFL teachers in Saudi Arabia. This study attempted to examine the perceptions of English instructors of using YouTube to improve the speaking skills of the students in the secondary stage in Saudi Arabia. The English instructors’ attitudes towards YouTube and the best ways to use YouTube in the class were examined. The descriptive and analytical approaches have been applied in order to design the research. For data collection, a questionnaire has been designed to addresses the research topic. It was distributed on a sample of English language instructors (30 EFL instructors) in the secondary stage in Riyadh city in Saudi Arabia. The findings of the study showed that English language instructors see that YouTube is a highly beneficial instructional tool in improving the speaking skills of the secondary school students. It was found that the instructors have positive attitudes towards YouTube. They expressed that YouTube lessens the students’ anxiety and allow the students to learn faster, retain attention for a long time and motivates the students to learn the language. On the other hand, the findings showed that YouTube can be used in different ways in the class such as asking the students to comment on a particular video or to give some details, discuss, pose questions and give answers. YouTube gives a real chance for the students to interact in the class and to speak freely and get improved in pronunciation. The study recommended using YouTube as an integral instructive tool in English language classes.

The study  aimed  to find out the relation between the geometrical thinking level and the spatial  ability level among female secondary students in Al-Madinah Al-Munawarh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The researcher chose a random sample of (60) Student from secondary stage, scientific stream.  In addition, researcher employed descriptive research design through developing a test to examine the spatial ability level and using (Van Hiele) test to measure the geometrical thinking level because of its suitability for the environment of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The frequencies, percentages, and Pearson Correlation Coefficient were conducted in the statistical analysis by the researcher.   The results of the current study were the following: The geometrical thinking level was not high and the majority of participants were in the second level of geometrical thinking which is the analytical level. And the spatial ability level was not high and the majority of participants were in the first level spatial ability which is the spatial consciousness level. The study also showed a positive statistical relation between geometrical thinking level and the spatial ability level. The researcher suggested some recommendations at the end of research such as paying attention to develop the geometrical thinking level among the participants through using various teaching methods as directed discovery to solve problems, keeping away the routine performance which depends on the memorization of theories, and using the activities which improves the spatial ability level.

  The aim of this study was to identify the degree of inclusion, distribution and balance of multiple intelligences indicators in Arabic language courses for the secondary stage. The scientific and administrative track in Saudi Arabia was represented by units of analysis (activities and questions). To achieve the objectives of the study, The sample consists of four courses for the Arabic language for the secondary stage, with a total of 254 activities and 146 questions. The results of the analysis of the activities and the questions together revealed that the intelligences (linguistic, logical, and social) had an average of 51.6%, 18.9% and 10.5% respectively, The rest of the intelligences were: (physical 6.4%, spatial 3.8%, natural 2.9%, music 2.8%, self-2.3%), all of which were very low, 48,4%, logical intelligence at 20.9%, all of them very high, and the rest of the intelligences came at very low rates, and the results of the analysis of the questions got linguistic intelligence at 58.8%, logical intelligence at 14.9% , And The number of different intelligences was unevenly distributed over these courses. In the light of the results revealed by the study, a number of recommendations and proposals were presented to achieve the required balance in Arabic language courses and courses.

Study Methodology: Analytical Descriptive Method The most important results of the study were human rights in Islamic education curricula (782) times. It is clear that the rate of reproduction (7. 9%) at the latest. (38. 36%), political rights (28. 52%), economic rights (19. 44%) and educational rights (19. 44%). (13. 68%). In the category of Quranic verse (13. 94%), in the category of Quranic verse (13. 94%), Hadith of the Prophet in the last corner by (7. 54%).

This study aimed to identify the scientific values ​​included in the book of physics for the third grade secondary in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In order to achieve the objective of the study, the researcher used the descriptive method through the method of content analysis, where the researcher prepared a criterion for analysis. The study community may be of all subjects listed in the physics book without exposure to the content of the exercises, introductions, indexes and images. The researcher concluded that the total frequency of the scientific values ​​included in the book of physics for the third grade secondary reached (521) scientific value, these frequencies varied in the first semester and the second semester of the book of physics for the third grade secondary, (14.2%) compared to other values, while the value of scientists as the lowest percentage (4.8%). The researcher also found the lack of the book of physics of scientific values ​​when linked to the objectives of education policy in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the objectives of the secondary stage, and the objectives of the physics course in particular, and showed that interest in scientific values ​​was closer to randomness and without prior planning of the scientific values ​​to be learned and focus on, The researcher presented a number of recommendations to develop the role played by the book of physics through the interest in including the scientific values ​​based on clear objectives taken by those who build the curriculum to suit the data of the age of knowledge and technology, Each regular and focus on scientific missing in the book values ​​by increasing replication.

This research aimed to study professional competencies of biology teachers in Namas, Saudi Arabia. and to achieve the goal of the research, the researcher used the descriptive survey manner suits the nature of the problem, and be the research community from all teachers of biology to the stage of the secondary school in the Namas, Saudi Arabia, totaling (55) teachers, and consisted study tool of the questionnaire, which consisted of (50) items, divided into five areas, which were distributed to intentional sample consisted of all teachers and biology teachers who answered the questionnaire and numbered (52) teachers, and use ALL statistical treatments. According to the statistical program (SPSS) and using the arithmetic means and frequencies and percentages, the skills acquired at the macro level of the search, according to the evaluation of the sample, the arithmetic average (3.38) (5), and the percentage (66.70%), grade-verbal (medium), and at the level fields, got the efficiencies field (academic and educational) to the highest arithmetic average (4.03) and percentage (73.70%) appreciated (great), while I got the areas of competencies (lesson planning, implementation, teaching methods, evaluation) on the averages (3.47, 3.40, 3.30, 3.10) for each of them in a level; frequencies  was (69.40%, 63%, 64.60%, 65.20%), all of which are appreciated (medium), and in the light of the results of the study, the researcher recommended intensified training courses by specialists educators applied as models for the development of competencies of teachers and confirmed that the biology teachers and all educators academic and professional development, the adoption of self-importance and its relation to the professional growth of teachers.
