Research

My research papers have been presented and published in various international Conferences. A number of joint research papers and projects are currently waiting for publications in International Journals. Currently, I am the principal supervisor of two PhD research degree students and a co- supervisor of five PhD students aiming to successful completion of their higher degree within the allocated timeframe. Also I have been involved in association with Professor John Dekkers and Associate Professor Mike Horsley as an Industry supervisor to successfully completion of two Professional Doctorate candidates, at CQUniversity, sponsored by UAE Ministry of Education. My contribution as an industry supervisor for two candidates reflects the core idea of transdisciplinary: different academic disciplines working jointly with practitioners to solve real-life problems. It can be applied in a great variety of fields. The emphasis on applied research has enabled the students to undertake a major research project to further increase the quality of the secondary schools in UAE. As industry supervisor, I provided the needed support and demonstrated a deep understanding of secondary education and the unique environment in UAE. • As an Industry Supervisor, in association with Professor John Dekkers and Associate Professor Mike Horsley, I played vital role in the success of two Professional Doctorate candidates, sponsored by the UAE Ministry of Education: o Sulaiman Al Nuaimi: Attracting and retaining male Emirati teachers in Abu Dhabi Schools: An action plan. o Abdullah Al Nuaimi: Evolving Leadership Roles of Emirati School Principals Implications for professional development and training Both students graduated in December 2010.
