Exploring Polytechnical Teaching Strategies in SABIC Academy and Technical Colleges: A Comparative Causal Study

Abstract

The study aimed to identify the polytechnical teaching strategies used at SABIC Academy and the Technical Colleges, employing a comparative causal approach. A research questionnaire covering four main axes was utilized: the current use of teaching strategies at SABIC Academy and the Technical College in Riyadh; the impact of these strategies on developing trainees' technical skills; the challenges encountered in using these strategies; and suggestions for improving their implementation. The study sample consisted of faculty members and trainers from SABIC Academy and the Technical College in Riyadh. The results indicated a high level of implementation of teaching strategies in both institutions, with no statistically significant differences between them, and a significant impact on developing trainees' technical skills. The results also revealed notable challenges in implementing teaching strategies, and proposals to improve their use received a high degree of agreement. Based on these findings, the study offered a set of recommendations and suggestions.
