I then pursued a Master\u2019s Degree in the same field at the University of Jordan, completing it in 1999 with a perfect GPA of 4\/4.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Professional Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I started my teaching career as a lecturer in social sciences with the Arab Cultural Association from 1996 to 2005. During this time, I also lectured in Modern History of Jordan at Ammon University\u00a0 (part time) . My initial experience in university teaching began as a teaching assistant and supervisor of archaeological excavations at the University of Jordan from 1996 to 1997.<\/p>\n<p>My career expanded when I became Head of Planning and Evaluation in the Cultural Department at the Greater Amman Municipality from 2008 to 2010. Later, I served as Country Manager for the START Organization (2011-2014), where I organized training workshops for youth in orphan centers, special needs centers, and Palestinian camps.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, I joined Qatar University as a teaching assistant in the Humanities Department, focusing on history courses, particularly the History of Qatar, while providing academic support across various history courses. From 2015 to 2016, I also served as a lecturer and coordinator for the UNIV110 course in the College of Arts and Sciences. Currently, I am an instructor in the Core Curriculum Program, where I have been teaching UNIV100 since Fall 2020 and UNIV220 since Fall 2022.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>My teaching philosophy<\/strong> is focused on fostering a supportive and interactive learning environment that helps students build confidence, develop critical thinking, and enhance essential life skills. I encourage active participation, teamwork, and personal growth, aiming to prepare students for both academic and professional success.<\/p>\n<p>I strive to meet students&#8217; diverse needs by using varied teaching methods and connecting learning to real-world contexts. By setting clear expectations and providing transparent feedback, I ensure students feel valued and motivated, helping them achieve their goals confidently and independently.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>In terms of professional development:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>I have always been keen, since the beginning of my time at the university, to develop my academic skills in a way that sharpens my abilities and benefits my students. I have attended or participated in more than (200) professional development workshops both within the university and outside of it.<\/li>\n<li>I have earned the following digital excellence badges:\n<ul>\n<li>Digital Badge for Excellence in Digitally Enhanced Education<\/li>\n<li>Digital Badge for Excellence in Learner-Centered Learning<\/li>\n<li>Digital Badge for Excellence in Entrepreneurial Education<\/li>\n<li>Digital Badge for Excellence in Experimental Education<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>I hold a teaching certificate in General University Education.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-99 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/qufaculty.qu.edu.qa\/oaburajoh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/790\/2024\/10\/BADEGS--300x80.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"345\" height=\"92\" srcset=\"http:\/\/qufaculty.qu.edu.qa\/oaburajoh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/790\/2024\/10\/BADEGS--300x80.png 300w, http:\/\/qufaculty.qu.edu.qa\/oaburajoh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/790\/2024\/10\/BADEGS-.png 430w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Thank you for visiting!<\/p>\n<p>OLA<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_video link=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<ul class=\"ul-dates \">\n\t\t\t<li class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dates\"><span>Present<\/span><span>2020<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content\"><h4>Faculty Member<\/h4><p>Core Curriculum Program-Qatar University<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<li class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dates\"><span>2020<\/span><span>2014<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content\"><h4>Faculty Member<\/h4><p>Humanities Department-Qatar University<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<ul class=\"ul-card \"><\/ul>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;47&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; title=&#8221;CCP-Lecturer&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;226&#8243; title=&#8221;\u062a\u0643\u0631\u064a\u0645\u064a \u0628\u0627\u0644\u0641\u0648\u0632 \u0628\u062c\u0627\u0626\u0632\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u062a\u0645\u064a\u0632 \u0641\u064a \u062a\u062f\u0631\u064a\u0633 \u0645\u0642\u0631\u0631\u0627\u062a \u0628\u0631\u0646\u0627\u0645\u062c \u0645\u062a\u0637\u0644\u0628\u0627\u062a \u0627\u0644\u062c\u0627\u0645\u0639\u0629 \u0644\u0644\u0639\u0627\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u062c\u0627\u0645\u0639\u064a 2024-2025&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;248&#8243;][vc_single_image [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":772,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-pagebuilder.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-42","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/qufaculty.qu.edu.qa\/oaburajoh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/42","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/qufaculty.qu.edu.qa\/oaburajoh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/qufaculty.qu.edu.qa\/oaburajoh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/qufaculty.qu.edu.qa\/oaburajoh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/772"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/qufaculty.qu.edu.qa\/oaburajoh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42"}],"version-history":[{"count":31,"href":"http:\/\/qufaculty.qu.edu.qa\/oaburajoh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/42\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":263,"href":"http:\/\/qufaculty.qu.edu.qa\/oaburajoh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/42\/revisions\/263"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/qufaculty.qu.edu.qa\/oaburajoh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
