Abstract

This study examines the effects of AI-based learning tools on Arabic language learning among Arabic students, with student engagement and educational content quality as mediators. This study used a quantitative causal-explanatory design and administered an online questionnaire to students, teachers, and education professionals (N=960). Using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze the data, there was a large direct positive effect of AI tools on proficiency and an even stronger positive mediating effect of student engagement. Unexpectedly, perceptions of educational content quality were strongly negatively associated with proficiency, suggesting that a mismatch between content design and the learner’s sociocultural context may impede learning even when the pedagogical design is sound. The results highlight that the success of AI in language learning is not merely a function of the state of the technology, but, more importantly, a function of pedagogically sound content and its continued capacity to promote profound engagement. This research enhances the science of technology-enhanced learning by proposing a refined model for English language education in Egypt and by providing implementation-oriented suggestions for furthering practice, calling for a shift from technocentric implementation to learner-centric orchestration of AI in Arabic language education.

Abstract

The principal, as an educational leader, holds a decisive role in developing the quality of teachers and, through them, the quality of learning. This study aims to analyze the principal's strategy in strengthening the pedagogic and professional competence of elementary school teachers. A qualitative approach with a descriptive method was employed, with the researcher serving as the key instrument. Informants were determined through purposive sampling and comprised the principal, the vice principal, and selected teachers, while data were gathered through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, and analyzed using the interactive model of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The credibility of the findings was secured through triangulation of the three data sources. The results show that the principal strengthened teachers' competence not through any single programmed but through three interlocking strategies: continuous training and professional forums, regular academic supervision and coaching, and the provision of technology-based facilities. These strategies functioned as a coordinated system in which each reinforced the others. The findings imply that, viewed through the lens of transformational education and learning, school leadership develops teachers most effectively when it moves beyond transmitting discrete skills toward reshaping their pedagogical perspectives and cultivating a sustained disposition for professional self-renewal.
