Designing a Proposed Training Program to Develop Creative Teaching Skills for Student Teachers According to the Requirements of the Portfolio and Practical Education Guide

Abstract

This study focuses on designing a proposed training program to develop creative teaching skills for student teachers in line with the requirements of the teaching portfolio and practical education guide. The importance of the study stems from the need to prepare creative

teachers with high professional competence who can keep pace with contemporary educational and technological developments.

The study problem highlights shortcomings in pre-service training programs at faculties of education, including the absence of standardized practical education guidelines, weak coordination between the faculty and schools, and an emphasis on traditional teaching rather than creative teaching skills. Therefore, the study aims to develop an integrated training program linking theory and practice and equipping student teachers with innovative thinking, effective teaching, and self-assessment skills.

The program includes three main units: cognitive, practical, and evaluative. It is implemented over 45 training hours during three weeks using modern methods such as interactive lectures, brainstorming, and cooperative learning, relying on multiple assessment methods to monitor performance and professional skill development.
