Under the supervision of the Department of Educational Sciences at the College of Education at Qatar University; a group of graduate students organized the first annual educational conference, which aimed to present the projects of graduate students of the College of Education from specialists in educational leadership, curricula and teaching.
The conference was attended by: Prof. Ahmed Al-Emadi, Dean of the College of Education, Dr. Hessa Al-Thani, Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs and Dr. Ahmed Majeria, Assistant Dean for Graduate Studies and Scientific Research Affairs, faculty members and students.
The conference is considered a field training project and an application of the concept of student leadership, where a student committee was formed to organize the conference headed by student Hanan Al-Ayla, and it consists of students from the Educational Leadership Program, and they are: Jawaher Al-Muftah (Vice President), Shaima Al-Hassan, Hanan Abdel-Rahman, Areej Marei, and Asma Jamal (master of the ceremony), in addition to two students from the Curriculum and Teaching Program: Maryam Al-Baker and Mai Al-Jabri. The conference program included a presentation of 18 research projects for graduate students in four different formats such as presentations, research posters, short films, and innovative presentations.
In turn, the Dean of the College of Education confirmed that this conference has added value: it is a real and practical opportunity for students to practice advanced leadership skills such as communication, planning, teamwork, meeting management, problem solving, and decision-making because it is a practical translation of the sciences and theories gained from the College of Education’s graduate programs.
Dr. Al-Emadi praised the student conference, noting that it truly reflects the degree of intellectual and skill maturity, as well as providing the best practical model for the characteristics of graduates that Qatar University strives to emphasize in its graduates through its strategy, such as competence, lifelong learning, familiarity, moral and social responsibility, and pioneering thinking.
“Today we feel more proud of them,” Al-Emadi said in a statement, “since they present us with a bright image of embracing responsibility as they unleash their hidden leadership skills, to later hold the torch of advancing education in our beloved country Qatar with full merit.”
