Abstract
Despite the fact that establishing a culture of teamwork among students is one of the most important functions and duties of the school, very few studies have addressed this issue in Saudi Arabia. This study investigates the role of all-female schools in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in promoting a culture of teamwork among its students from the point of view of teachers. The study followed the descriptive- analytical approach: a random sample of teacher participants were selected to represent the public school community. A questionnaire was distributed among all teacher participants for data collection, and the SPSS software was used to analyze the data. The study’s results revealed that all areas regarding the culture of teamwork received high approval ratings. Further, the study recommends involving teachers and students in drafting the school's vision by providing all means of communication between departments, especially electronic platforms, including recognition of outstanding teamwork.

This study investigates the role of all-female schools in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in promoting a culture of teamwork among its students from the point of view of teachers
Teacher participants from the Eastern Province had an overall high approval degree (M = 3.89) indicating that teachers perceived that education played a large role in promoting the culture of teamwork. This result is explained through the large amount of attention that is given by the Saudi Ministry of Education, responsible for planning and implementation of all curriculum and administration in public schools
Summary
Contemporary educational institutions are increasingly unanimous when it comes to the importance of the student-centered approach in the educational process. Student-centered learning is an educational approach that takes into account the differences between students in their learning pace, learning styles, interests, skills and needs Through this approach, teachers develop structured learning environments, where support and guidance are provided to students to achieve skills in self-evaluation and independence when learning (Jaiswal & Al-Hattami, 2020). Many studies have looked into teamwork along with its implementation strategies and the behaviours of the team members These studies have found teamwork to be one of the most important factors for the success of educational institutions and a key tool for change, development, and creativity, whether in work or in improving academic outcomes (Dehimi, 2016; Khanfar, 2020; Khuwaylid, Masudah, & Masudah, 2017). As far as the researcher is aware, this is an inaugural study in the context of female public education in the Eastern Province of KSA
