Abstract

The main purposes of the study were as follows:

(a) Defining the high school teacherss ratings of school life in Jerusalem

directorates and its suburbs during Al-Aqsa Intifada, and (b) Defining the role of

sex, teaching experience, location of the school, and classes taught by teachers in

these ratings .

The researchers developed a (31) likert scale items questionnaire to achieve the

purposes of the study, and presented it to a group of jury to ensure its validity and

applied Cronbach Alpha formula to calculate its reliability which it was (0.95) .

The questionnaire has been distributed to a random sample consisted of (158)

male and female teachers. To analyse data, the researchers used means, percentages,

“to independent test, One-Way ANOVA, and Schefee test for multiple comparisions.

The results of the study showed the followings:

1. Teachers ratings for most the questionnaire items were high and medium as

clues for the bad practices of the Israeli army on the school life during Al-

Aqsa Intifada.

2. There were statistical differences at the level of (? = 0.05) between high school

teacherss ratings of the school life during Al-Aqsa Intifida, on favour of male

teachers who suffered more.

3. There were no statistical differences at the level of (? = 0.05) between high

school teacherss ratings of the school life during Al-Aqsa Intifida, due to the

classes taught by those teachers.

4. There were statistical differences at the level of (? = 0.05) between high school

teacherss ratings of the school life during Al-Aqsa Intifida, due to the location

of schools, on favour of ones that locate outside the cities.

5. There were statistical differences at the level of (? = 0.05) between high school

teacherss ratings of the school life during Al-Aqsa Intifida, due to the number

of teaching experience years variable, on favour of teachers who had (11) years
