It used the descriptive analytical method and the quasi-experimental method. It was conducted on a sample of (40) English teachers for early grades, distributed into two groups: experimental and control.

There were statistically significant differences at (0.05) level between the mean scores of the experimental and control groups in the pedagogical knowledge post-test in favor of the experimental group. The pedagogical knowledge pre-posttest is in favor of the post-test, and statistically significant differences appeared at (0.05) level between the mean scores of the experimental and control groups of the teaching performance classroom observation post-checklist in favor of the experimental group. There were statistically significant differences at (0.05) level between the mean scores of the experimental group of the teaching performance observation pre-post checklist in favor of the post-checklist.”
