Abstract
The current study aims to adopt a new instructional design model for creating innovative OER called the "GHOSHEH" model, and to explore Its effectiveness in developing teachers’ global competences. The GHOSHEH model incorporates OER with some learner-centered strategies that enable learners to practice, reflect on their practices, solve problems, and create innovative OER. The study answers the following questions: What are the processes involved in the implementation of the GHOSHEH model for creating innovative OER? What are the attributes of the GHOSHEH model regarding Rogers’ process for the diffusion of innovations? To what extent do teachers and experts agree on the consistency of the attributes of the GHOSHEH Model with Roger's attributes for successful innovations? How do teachers who applied the GHOSHEH model evaluate its effectiveness on their global competences?
The study includes an intentional and purposive sample of 347 Palestinian teachers who enrolled in a training program at the National Institute for Educational Training (NIET) in Palestine and agreed to participate in the study. In addition, the sample composes of 37 experts from Palestine, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Oman, Kuwait, UAE, Iraq, and Yemen, who agreed to participate in workshops or a conference where the GHOSHEH model was presented.
The study utilizes a specific design of mixed method which is a convergent parallel design. Data was collected using different instruments including a questionnaire for adopting the GHOSHEH model. A self-evaluation questionnaire for teachers' global competences. Four focus groups and a case study on implementing the model.
Results show that teachers and experts highly agreed on the GHOSHEH model's five attributes that enable them to consider the model as innovative regarding Roger's process. These attributes include relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability.
Regarding the effectiveness of the GHOSHEH model on teachers' global competences the study provides qualitative and quantitative evidence of the significant effect of the GHOSHEH model on teachers' global competences. In light of these results, the study recommends the Ministry of Education adopt the GHOSHEH model. Moreover, it encourages conducting research on the effectiveness of the GHOSHEH model on students' competences and different skills.
