I am Nisrin Mohammed AL-Farsi a college of science graduate in 2003 from Sultan Qaboos University. I am an Information Technology teacher for high school students in Ministry of Education. My desire in teaching and curiosity in learning has lead me to continue studying. Therefore, I got diploma in educational and qualification from college of education at SQU to become a teacher. I have been teaching IT for 14 years since I graduated in 2004. These years have enhanced my skills in computer science, which was my main major when I was student at SQU. Also, I have gained many social, technical and teaching skills that have helped me in dealing with students with mixed abilities. At the end, my teaching years inspired me to complete my high study to expand my horizons.
Throughout these years, I have faced many challenges influenced me positively rather than viewing them negatively. One major challenge and difficulty is that the curriculum are not updated regularly. As you know Technology develops every day. Therefore, curriculum need some improvements in order to enhance the learning environment for students.
In regard my dissertation, I have some research topics that I have got from work experience.
One major topic is related to challenges I had faced. So, I want to work in IT curriculum by developing a new learning and interactive technology. Therefore, I am planning to design an Open Source Model for IT that can provide a distance learning for students as well as for needed individuals. In order to utilize a new technology for optimal learning experience leading to the innovation of learners.
