The original data set included 200 teachers in high public schools in the province of Dammam, Saudi Arabia. The researcher also prepared a creative teaching questionnaire for mathematics teachers in high schools and a qualitative analysis method was employed to analyze the data. The results showed that the items on the questionnaire on creative practices ranged between (3–4.23) with a general average value (3.16) and a standard deviation (0.192), which indicated a median level of creative practice among the high school mathematics teachers in Saudi Arabia. This study suggested that it should be better to prepare training programs for mathematics teachers to acquire creative teaching skills and make them more aware of the importance of creative teaching in their classes.

It will focus on Collaborative Online Project-Based Learning (COPBL), its advantages, challenges facing the implementation of this strategy, and provide suggestions and recommendations to overcome these challenges. A mixed-method research design was used to analyze the data. Questionnaires were used to collect quantitative data from fifty-five students, and nine of them were interviewed to collect qualitative data. The interview sample was intentionally chosen based on the diversity of responses in the questionnaires. The results of this study revealed that there is a consensus between the perceptions of the study sample in the questionnaires and interviews. Participants showed positive perceptions about COPBL. Researchers presented some recommendations and suggestions at the end of this study.

In addition, the study sought to identify the pros and cons of training on instructional design through project-based learning from the students' perceptions, and to provide recommendations and suggestions to overcome any negatives. A mixed-method research design was used in this study, in which a questionnaire was distributed to (40) female students in the early childhood major in the College of Education, Imam Abdul Rahman bin Faisal University, Saudi Arabia, and interviews were conducted with (12) of them to get a deeper understanding of possible areas of improvement in the instructional design processes, and the pros and cons of training. The results of this study revealed a clear improvement in the educational design processes represented in analysis, design, development, experimentation, and evaluation. The students also showed positive improvement and development in 1) the cognitive and skill aspects of instructional design processes, 2) social skills, such as communication skills, leadership skills, exchange of experiences, and appreciation of teamwork, and 3) emotional skills, such as reducing anxiety and tension. At the end of this study, the researchers have presented some recommendations and suggestions in light of the improvement aspects suggested by the participants.
