The Impact of Using Teams on The Academic Self-Concept of Seventh-Grade Students in The South Nablus Directorate

The study aimed to investigate the effect of using the Microsoft Teams platform on the academic self-concept of seventh-grade students in the Directorate of South Nablus. To achieve the purpose of the study, the researcher developed a scale to measure academic self-concept, which consisted of 30 items. The validity and reliability of the scale were verified using appropriate methods. The researcher adopted the experimental approach with a quasi-experimental design. The study population consisted of seventh-grade students for the academic year 2024–2025 in the Directorate of South Nablus, and the sample included 70 students divided into two groups: a control group of 35 students who were taught using traditional methods, and an experimental group of 35 students who were taught using the Microsoft Teams platform. The results of the study revealed a statistically significant difference at the significance level (α ≤ 0.05) between the mean scores of the two groups (experimental and control), in favor of the experimental group. In light of these results, the researcher recommended integrating interactive activities and continuous assessments through the platform, as they play a vital role in enhancing students’ motivation and their sense of competence and academic achievement. The originality of the study lies in exploring the impact of using the Microsoft Teams platform on the academic self-concept of seventh-grade students, as it is a contemporary topic that connects e-learning with the psychological and academic dimensions of students within the Palestinian educational context.
