The development of leadership is a key concept in the current business environment. However, when it comes to gender-based roles among organizations of different natures and workplaces, women are the ones who remain subject to inferiority, discrimination and bias, particularly when it comes to assuming organizations’ management and leadership roles. In this regard, women inhabiting the Arab sector of Israel continue to face discrimination and gender inequality when they endeavor to acquire key organizational roles among the majority community. In the case of Israel, despite having more presence, good education and the required workplace expertise, they are still reeling from the evils of facing discrimination and bias from their male counterparts. Socio-religious practices and taboos established in households are one major factor of such discrimination, negatively affecting their workplace presence among organizations. From this perspective, this comprehensive research attempts to analyse leadership and management positions acquired by the women belonging to the Arab community dwelling in Israel. The results showed that even though a lot has been done to make workplace policies for women more open, both at the organisational and government levels, the fact that women have less education than men, their families are more conservative, and Arab women are still seen as different or less capable because of their gender and ethnicity. All of these things make it hard to give Arab women more leadership and management positions.

School principals play a central role in the success of learning organizations. However, the extant literature has largely focused on the role of teachers, instructors, and educators in organizations concerning student achievement and learning outcomes. While a growing body of literature has investigated teacher roles in learning organizations, little is known about principals’ role in leading tomorrow’s organizations. Specifically, there is a potential knowledge gap on the roles principals play as leaders, coaches, and organizational climate setters. The objective of this study was to investigate the role of Arab principals as leaders, coaches, and climate setters within tomorrow’s organizations in the Arab sector of Israel. To understand this research problem, a mixed research method was used where relevant data were collected using survey questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. A total of 407 students drawn from the Arab sector of Israel participated in the survey questionnaires, while 69 students also participated in interview sessions. Results from surveys and findings from interviews showed that Arab principals play a key role as leaders in tomorrow’s organizations. That is, Arab principals, provide leadership, direction, and coordination within the school. In elaboration, principals achieve this by developing and maintaining effective educational programs within their schools and promoting the improvement of teaching and learning. As coaches, principals facilitate training, knowledge acquisition, skills development, and learning of effective instructional methods for their teachers. As climate setters, principals create positive interpersonal relationships among stakeholders like teachers, parents, students, and faculty. Also, principals support a safe and secure learning environment and create guidelines for discipline while formulating measures to correct indecent behaviors.

The aim of this study is to explore the impact of the management and leadership style on the staff's organizational citizen behavior (OCB) at higher education institutions in Israel. In the educational area, leadership plays an important role in increasing the staff’s organisational citizen behviour. According to this perspective, principal leadership conduct may influence staff's confidence in and contentment with the organization, and employees' acts of organisational citizenship strengthen the connection between leadership style and loyalty to the organization. The mixed method approach was used to access to phenomenon in which questionnaire surveys and interviews were conducted. From the results, it was evaluated that a principal leadership style with a positive organizational culture can contribute to staff engagement, satisfaction, and OCB. It is also linked with organisational culture that is used to define the voluntary acts and behaviours of teachers that go above and beyond the formal job duties and have a positive impact on the organizational aims and objectives of the school. OCB can significantly influence the formulation and application of the institution's improvement plans with an effective organizational culture. Organizational culture increases the performance of students. To meet the institution's improvement objectives, teachers who show OCB are more motivated to collaborate and work together as a team. They do everything they can to help their co-workers and share their wisdom, which enhances problem-solving and decision-making. Teachers who display OCB are more likely to help the leadership of the institution in putting their improvement plans into action.
The research aimed to highlight the in-depth discussion over different prospects of quality of education and sense of belonging regarding the way it affects the at-risk high school student dropping out in the case of Israel. It further evaluated the concept of risk of dropping out among high school students along with the dynamics and reasons of dropout rate in high schools of Israel. In addition, the impact of the quality of education and the sense of belonging on the at-risk high school students’ dropping out is also evaluated. The research design of the study was mixed where both qualitative and quantitative data were analysed using thematic analysis and CB-SEM modelling respectively obtained from 600 respondents. It was found that a negative relationship is present between the quality of education and risk of dropout; sense of belonging and risk of dropping out; and that significant relation between perception of school and risk of dropout also exists followed by the subjective hypothesis that only little steps taken by schools towards reducing dropout rates will be found. Meanwhile, in the qualitative part, it was found that schools lack effective measures to reduce the dropout ratio. Hence, considerable measures are required to be taken by the Israeli government.

In the last two decades, the role of school principals has become more complex regarding school performance and growth toward excellence. While educational researchers and practitioners have largely agreed on the potential impact that principals have on school success, most of the extant literature is limited to Western countries. In the Middle East, and the Arab sector of Israel in particular, little is known regarding how Arab principals lead their schools to excellence. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the role of the Arab principal in Israel in leading the school to excellence. To understand the study problem, mixed-method research was used. Suitable data on the topic was collected from Arab students at higher education institutions from across the Arab sector. A total of 381 Arab students at higher education institutions participated in the survey questionnaires and 69 of them took part in individual interview sessions. Findings from survey responses with 381 students, in addition to insights from interview feedback from 73 students from across the Arab sectors showed that Arab principals have a central task of supporting their schools and ensuring they become successful. The principals lead their schools to excellence by initiating and implementing relevant curricula. In addition, principals lead schools to excellence by influencing decision-making regarding effective teaching and learning. Another important observation was that Arab principals create school excellence through collaborative school, family, and community engagement. Despite these findings, principals experience hurdles that might hinder their efforts to lead schools to excellence. Part of the challenges includes a lack of sufficient resources like learning materials, libraries, financial allocation, and lack of workshops. Also, there are inadequate opportunities for professional and skills development to ensure Arab principals have relevant leadership qualities that enable them to lead their schools to excellence.

While in the qualitative part, 50 students were interviewed, in the quantitative part a questionnaire was distributed to 400 students from higher education institutions in Israel. The main findings were, first a positive correlation between students’ satisfaction and the flexibility of online learning was found. The second finding, a positive correlation was found between the variable being involved during online education and students’ satisfaction. Third a negative correlation between students’ satisfaction and the lack of face-to-face contact during online learning was found. Fourth, a negative correlation was found between the variable lack of communication during online education and students’ satisfaction. Finally, both from the quantitative part and the qualitative part the students have indicated that COVID-19 and online learning have a significant impact on their social and academic interaction. The main conclusion was the COVID-19 pandemic has created many negative effects for students in higher education in Israel on different levels, social, emotional, psychological, and academic. Consequently, educational administrators and higher education leaders should take into account all facets of teaching and learning in higher education and adapt and adjust policies in emergency situations
Achieving sustainable goals is the main purpose of the education system of Israel. The inclusion of disabled students is extremely important, especially given the increasing globalization in the educational sector and the pledge to ensure equal inclusion of all children regardless of disability. Such students are often left out of educational and mainstream development, which requires teachers to integrate effectively with these students. Considering this perspective, this research attempts to analyse the role of principles in integrating students with disabilities in mainstream schools. Thus, to explore the phenomenon in this study, the case research of the Arab sector in Israel was chosen. For this, a mixed-method research framework was adopted, which helped infer qualitative and quantitative analysis on the subject. The results of this research have found key barriers to inclusion, such as physical barriers to inclusive education and policy implementation barriers to inclusive education. The findings showed that a mental issue is a substantial barrier to learning for students with disabilities. Some children with disabilities suffer cognitively and socially, which affects their performance in comparison to other students who do not have these problems. The study's findings also revealed that the role of the principal has a positive and significant influence on the integrated learning environment.
Out-of-school youth at risk in the Arab sector in Israel face continuous challenges as a result of early school dropout, engagement in crime, and poor transition into adulthood. Most of the risks these youth face can be addressed early in school days through the use of effective intervention programs. In Israel, students from the Arab sector are more likely to be at risk than students from the Jewish sector due to cultural background, ethnic differences, and historical issues. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of intervention programs for youth at risk on Arab middle and high school students in Israel. A mixed method approach involving qualitative research, case study, and quantitative research was used to examine the research aim and objectives. Appropriate data was collected through survey questionnaires and interview questions to assess the effectiveness of the traditional intervention programs on Arab students. Results from the study reveal that generally intervention programs are fundamental to the success of students in terms of enhancing their engagement to school, promoting the students’ educational aspects in regard to learning motivation, learning self-efficacy, and sense of belonging to the school. Also, the study found that intervention programs mitigate students against potential risk factors discipline problems and involvement in violence while promoting their future normative motivations such as occupational aspirations. However, the existing intervention programs are largely pro-Jewish centered and less effective on students from the Arab sector. In conclusion, new intervention program should be applied to at-risk Arab middle and high school students in Israel to better cultivate their academic potential and help inform better future career prospects.

Traditional complementary foods are with limiting nutrient quality and can be fortified using protein rich crops like soy beans and almond seeds. This research thus aimed at investigating nutritional quality of infant formulated diet from locally underutilized almond seeds, soybeans and coconut. The milks were produced from locally accessible plant –based vegetable. The energy was supplied from cereals. This finding was set to evaluate the formulation of weaning food from cereal-based composite porridges that supplement with soy-milk and almond milk as an alternative source for breast milk. The mixture of malted rice, powdered carrot, date and almond milk were mixed to slurry (formulation I) and boiled for 3-4mins. The same procedure was repeated for formulation II. The formulations and commercial based meal (control) were fed to experimental animals (white albino rat) for the period of three week (21-days). The performance in term of protein efficiency ratio, nitrogen retention and tissue weights were comparable with those of similar commercial weaning food (cerelac) sold in the market. The proximate and sensory analyses were also determined on new baby food as well. The results showed that the study successfully produced two different formulated diets of rice, carrot, date palm and using soy and almond milk as alternative sources for breast milk with acceptable sensory characteristic as well as excellent nutritional quality.
