Let Me Learn in the Well-Known Forum: Development of Writing Skill, Teaching Skills and Social Engagement Among Arab-Bedouin Female Students

Abstract

This case study aims to explore whether active learning through an online forum in teacher training institutions can improve educational outcomes in Hebrew as a second language among Arabic-speaking Arab-Bedouin students. The research focuses on three main areas: enhancing written expression skills, acquiring teaching tools, and strengthening social and educational interactions within course environments.

The findings indicate that active participation in the online forum, supported by meaningful guidance from course instructors, significantly improved students' writing abilities, reinforced their pedagogical skills for classroom teaching, and deepened social interaction among learners. The research underscores the importance of effective pedagogical design in online courses that fosters active and enriching learning rather than solely content-based instruction.
