We live in an era where events are rapidly accelerating in all aspects of life, including the growth of knowledge. What we know today may become part of the history of knowledge tomorrow. Therefore, if educators stop at the knowledge they received during their university preparation, the wheel of time will halt concerning their professional development. Our curricula also include many issues and problems that require clarification and more knowledge than what is available to the teacher in the textbook, curriculum document, and teacher's guides.

It is self-evident that the development of nations and societies is measured by their interest in and development of their educational system to suit the era's developments and requirements. Therefore, we must strive to identify contemporary issues and problems facing the educational system in general, and the curricula and teaching system in particular, and inform those in charge of the educational process about these teaching issues and their treatment methods in a way that suits the students' needs and educational developments.

This book has been written to benefit postgraduate students in faculties of education in identifying the most important contemporary issues and problems in the field of curricula and teaching methods and their solutions. It addresses five main issues:

• Issues related to the teacher: including innovative teaching, teacher education, inclusive education, and professional standards. This is covered in the first section.
• Issues related to the student-teacher: including micro-teaching. This is covered in the second section.
• Issues related to the student-learner: including learning expression, solving mathematical and physical problems, and alternative conceptions. This is covered in the third section.
• Issues related to the curriculum: including extracurricular activities and the inclusion of environmental education in the curricula. This is covered in the fourth section.
• Issues related to the teaching process: including effective teaching, characteristics of an effective school, emotional intelligence in schools for intellectual education, and educational supervision. This is covered in the fifth section.
