Research interests

Along with numerous performances of my profession, I seek to increase my visibility as a researcher. As with my performed works, my published paper “The Impact of Cyberbullying on The Self-Esteem and Academic Functioning of Arab American Middle and High School Students” is geared toward Education. I am currently working on a paper on “faculty and professionals’ perception of factors influencing students in the creative thinking in graphic design and multimedia”. My research expertise and interests are in the areas of education, measurement and evaluation, and educational technology. I anticipate developing my research into personal work models by means of further mentored action research such as studying the effect of a core competencies training Program on faculty members’ teaching performance at QU, the accuracy of Predicting university students’ academic success at QU, the need for professional training programs to improve faculty members teaching skills, assessing teachers’ and students’ perceptions about teaching and learning using video conferencing method of Instruction at QU, and the impact of students’ use of technology on their learning achievements at the QU.
