Khaberni - As part of the Aviation Science Faculty at Arab Amman University's efforts to strengthen its academic and research presence locally and internationally, and reaffirming its commitment to academic excellence and research contributions, Dr. Ahmad Al-Hasban, Head of the Aircraft Maintenance Department, participated in the 12th International Arab Conference for Higher Education Quality Assurance (IACQA 2025), held at the University of Business and Technology in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
During the conference, Dr. Al-Hasban presented a research paper titled: “A Systematic Approach for Enhancing the Students’ Awareness in the International Accreditation Student-Centric Criteria," in partnership with several research professors including Professor Malik Al-Salem Anaqrah, Dean of the Faculty of Aviation Sciences at the university, Dr. Abdulaziz Al-Fawaireh, Director of the Languages and Translation Center at the university, and Dr. Moteb Al-Otaibi, a faculty member at the College of Arts and Sciences at the university.
Dr. Al-Hasban discussed at the conference a new approach to enhancing student awareness of student-centered international accreditation standards such as: curriculum design standards, descriptors of educational outcomes (cognitive, skills, and competencies), and how to measure them using direct and indirect assessment methods and the standard for their continuous improvement. He clarified through the analysis of statistics from a sample of (192) male and female students at the college the importance of educating both professors and students about the continuous application of these standards through workshops and educational surveys tailored for this purpose, translating this method into actionable measures in lectures and mid-term and term examinations, and substantiating the results of his scientific research through comparative studies with similar research, and the success achieved by the College of Aviation Sciences at Arab Amman University in obtaining American accreditation (AABI) for five years in the Bachelor's program in Aircraft Maintenance using this modern method based on modern teaching techniques in the field of higher education quality assurance at the university.
This participation is part of the efforts of Arab Amman University to keep up with research developments in the fields of ensuring and developing the quality of higher education and improving its educational outcomes in the field of aviation, and to highlight the role of international accreditations in enhancing the quality of education and their impact on students during their studies and after their graduation in the job market and their career future.
