UOB Introduces
Faculty Members to the Latest Question Formulation Techniques

5 February 2020

The Unit for Teaching Excellence
and Leadership (UTEL) at the University of Bahrain (UOB) started a week of
intensive workshops for faculty members at the E-Learning Center on the
University’s campus in Sakhir, where a number of academics from various
colleges of the University participate in the Unit’s workshops within the program
of the Certificate of Academic Practice, which is under the umbrella of
international partnership with the Academy of Higher Education in the United
Kingdom, which are the Post Graduate Certificate for Academic Practice Program
(PCAP), the Continuing Professional Development Program (CPD), the Flipped Learning
program, and the Team Education Program, in addition to a workshop to learn
about the latest developments in teaching in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

Assistant Professor at the Department
of Chemical Engineering, Dr. Hayat Abdullah Yousif, stated that “Participants
in PCAP will be able to design and select the best student activities that are
most appropriate with the requirements of the curricula and their outputs, in
addition to learning about students’ evaluation methods, exams planning methods,
and questions formulation technique consistent with the level of students and
the nature of the courses.”

Furthermore, she indicated that
the annual intensive workshop provides faculty members with practical and applied
examples of the basic principles that would lead to achieving the objectives of
the workshop, and which ultimately aim to raise the quality of education in the
University.

It is worth noting that PCAP,
which is offered by UTEL at UOB, is part of the University’s initiatives for faculty
development since 2006, as well as the implementation of the University’s strategic
plan.
