Abstract

The current study aimed to propose a conceptual framework for developing teaching practices among mathematics teachers in light of the learning outcomes of the national test "NAFES." To achieve this objective, the researcher employed a descriptive approach and developed an observation checklist consisting of 21 items as a data collection tool. The study sample included 22 mathematics teachers in Yanbu Governorate. The results indicated that the teaching practices of mathematics teachers, in light of the "NAFES" test outcomes, were generally moderate, with a mean score of 2.14 out of 3. However, some practices were found to be low, such as guiding students to use foldables for organizing notes on linear and quadratic functions (mean score of 1.27 out of 3) and utilizing the graphing calculator lab to solve a system of two linear equations (mean score of 1.00 out of 3). Based on these findings, the researcher proposed a conceptual framework to improve these practices and provided several recommendations, the most important of which include identifying the training needs of mathematics teachers in light of the "NAFES" test and incorporating them into professional development programs.
