Duaa Al Maani is an associate professor with a focus on enhancing educational processes & student experiences in architectural education. Al Maani is a PhD holder from Cardiff University, United Kingdom 2020.
I have assisted third-year design units at Cardiff university (2016-19), contributed to design teaching at Al Ahlyyia Amman University (2015-16), and at Zarqa University (2012-15). My research includes innovative pedagogical strategies & the development of effective, culturally relevant, & technology-enhanced educational practices in architecture. A significant part of my teaching experience has been in delivering design studios & theoritcal courses in a blended mode. These courses were designed to combine live sessions on campus & utilized a variety of delivery approaches to ensure active student engagement, including using gamification, online discussions, and multimedia content. I have also delivered several workshops about Architecture and the Built Environment in the UK & Jordan for students in primary and secondary schools.For the past two years, I served as the coordinator for the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB).
I aim to improve design studio dynamics and student satisfaction in higher education.
