Research Goal: To measure the effectiveness of the use of a proposed training program based on active learning to develop teaching skills of Shari'a Sciences’ teachers and their attitudes towards it at the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Research depended on the descriptive approach during building the program that based on active learning strategies, as assign experimental method when applying the program to identify its effectiveness in developing teaching of Shari'a Sciences’ teachers for the secondary school in the city of Medina and their attitudes toward it in teaching. Research instruments: The Card Note of teaching skills consisted of (45) sub-skill divided into three main areas which are (planning, implementation and evaluation). The measure of the attitude towards active learning in teaching included (26) phrases, therefore, the program is based on active learning in developing the teaching skills. After the researcher has checked the sincerity of research instruments, he began to be apply it to a stratified random sample, which consisted of (34) teachers of Shari'a Sciences’ teachers for the secondary school. The research contain a number of appropriate statistical methods, which are arithmetic averages, standard deviations, (T) test for the associated groups, the coefficient of Peerson, ETA square, the equation of the Blak, the coefficient of alpha Cronbach and the equation of Cooper. After conducting statistical analyzes, the research found the existence of Statistical differences among the average performance of the research sample in the Card Note of teaching skills in (planning, implementation and evaluation) Separated and combined in the light of active learning before and after the proposed training program for the benefit of the telemetric. In the light of the findings, the research recommended: Taking advantage of the current research program in training Shari'a Sciences’ teachers in different stages of education, especially Secondary School Teachers, because of its positive impact on the development of their teaching skills, and benefit from the list of teaching skills of the current research when assessing teachers' performance during service.   ، ، ،

The present study aimed at preparing a program based on Fiqh Al Nawazel (Contemporary Issues Islamic Jurisprudence) for developing the analytical thinking skills and awareness of the Contemporary Jurisprudence Issues among the intermediate stage students in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. To fulfill this purpose, the researcher prepared a list of the analytical thinking skills in the Fiqh curriculum and other dimensions for the awareness of  Contemporary Jurisprudential Issues among the first grade students of the intermediate stage. Moreover, he prepared a test for measuring the analytical thinking skills and a rubric for the awareness of Contemporary Jurisprudential Issues among the students of the first grade intermediate stage, and verified its validity and reliability. The researcher prepared a program for  the study based on the Jurisprudence of Al-Nawazel, including thirteen Jurisprudential Nazilah. The participants of the study were 37 students from the first grade, intermediate stage. The results revealed the effectiveness of the program in developing the analytical thinking skills in Fiqh curriculum, in developing the main analytical thinking skills, and the students' awareness of the contemporary jurisprudence issues as a whole, and in its different dimensions (cognitive, practical and affective). Moreover, the results showed a positive correlational relationship at the level of  0.01 between developing the analytical thinking skills in the jurisprudence Fiqh curriculum and developing the awareness of Contemporary Jurisprudential Issues.

Librarians in the 21st centuries need knowledge of innovative thinking to able to be relevant in their profession. Can they compete, survive, and thrive successfully in the midst of 21st century technological advances? All over the world, libraries are facing challenges. Already, there are reports of closures of public libraries. Many libraries are becoming underutilized while quite a number have to deal with stagnant or dwindling budgets. In order to adequately formulate workable solutions to these challenges, librarians need to consider new perspectives of offering services to their user communities. Also, libraries as living agencies are not to be stagnant but change and grow with the trends and their user communities. Innovations need to be introduced in the design and service delivery of libraries.

The goal was to create a system to teach children deep thinking skills, as well as problem solving skills which they could later use in tomorrow’s innovation economy. The by-product is they learn the Times Table. We cover more in less time…under 5 hours, we go up to 20x20, and introduce the children to complex algebraic equations, too. Guess what? They love it – and ask for more! The times table represents the problem to be solved. Each intersection represents a smaller aspect of the problem. They learn various techniques. No dumb sing-song melodies. They build on what they know. We do not go linearly through the table. We jump around…and cover whatever we can. When we are through I show them that if they only knew 7x4 = 28, they have the problem solving skills where they can solve the whole table. The idea behind Kinestetic Math is to get into their world, and reach them at their level. Children like to run, jump, colour and move around – so do we. We use our fingers, our knuckles, and our legs to learn the Times Table. This paper covers a small section of the program, Magic Squares and Hopscotch Math, as an introduction to a different kind of thinking and how innovative thinking can be applied to teaching. I introduce the program with a 10x10 grid representing the times table. Every time we solve one of the blocks on the table, they get to color the block however they want.
