Abstract AR

The present study aimed at determining the extent to which the principles of educational dialogue are practiced by instructors from the Department of Curricula and Instruction at Al-Albayt University.

The sample of the study comprised 12 male and female students randomly selected from a population of 217 with a major in classroom teacher.

A valid and reliable questionnaire comprised of 31 items was developed by the researcher and used in this study.

The results of the study showed a mean average of 3.23% with significant positive statistical differences indicated for instructors` classroom preparation for dialogue, but showed negative differences in maintaining student interest throughout the class.

However, significant differences were not detected for gender.

The researcher recommended that instructors be afforded further training to improve their skills in practicing the principles of educational dialogue in general, focusing on areas where low performance was indicated in order to improve the classroom practice of educational dialogue.
