The following strategies were blended into the teaching process:
- Problem Solving: To stimulate creative thinking and foster innovative solutions.
- Critical Thinking: To enhance students' analytical and evaluative abilities.
- Inquiry-Based Learning and Exploration: To promote scientific curiosity and independent learning.
- Technology Integration: To enrich the learning experience through digital tools.

- An Interactive Lesson Applying the Problem-Solving Strategy:
This lesson aimed to develop higher-order thinking skills under the theme “Be different… Creative… Innovative", through the teaching of the Jama'a Muthakar Salem ( referring to masculine plural noun) grammatical concept. The strategy used transcended traditional rote learning by fostering students' capacity for analytical critical thinking, encouraging active participation in the learning process, and cultivating mental skills such as logical reasoning, problem-solving, and rule application in new contexts.
The session began with a short educational video illustrating the steps of applying the strategy to the lesson topic. Afterwards, students were presented with a complex problem that required deep thinking, prompting them to derive solutions independently and construct knowledge through inquiry-based learning.

I am determined to represent this program with integrity, grounded in strong educational principles. I am sincerely grateful for the trust placed in me and for this meaningful opportunity, which I embrace with pride and honor.
During the forum, I delivered a presentation highlighting my journey as a teacher during the first semester of the 2023–2024 academic year. This journey was filled with both achievements and challenges, and I was eager to share my experiences with others.
The High Diploma in Teacher Preparation program has played a pivotal role in shaping my educational career. It has profoundly impacted my professional development and enhanced my ability to make a positive difference in the educational field. During the presentation, I provided a comprehensive analysis of my work, achievements, and the challenges I encountered during the semester. I also reflected on how the program empowered me to overcome those challenges, and offered practical insights and guidance to my fellow future educators, aiming to enrich the learning experience and improve teaching skills.
In conclusion, I express my deep gratitude for this inspiring journey and look forward to sharing more experiences and contributing to a better educational future.
