Boosting Innovation in Curricula Development of IT Programs in Palestine

Description

"In Palestine, the undergraduate students encounter several problems to initiate their own businesses even they have several skills in IT tools. This returns to the traditional methods adopted in teaching IT courses that don’t contain innovative orientation methods. The current teaching methodologies concentrate more on how to use the tool but for which purposes it could be used for. These traditional teaching ways used in universities create a systematic traditional way of thinking which consequently makes graduates only seeking for jobs and ignoring creating their own jobs.Thus, there are needs to develop academic IT programs that respond to the needs of the lifelong profession, and to establishing academic-official-professional partnership to develop a vision for career-oriented education.This project aims to develop the curricula of IT programs in the Palestinian universities. This development will enhance the teaching methodologies among teaching of IT courses that will consequently influence the students' ability to use the IT tools. The project will contribute in developing of networked and specialized centers of competences for technology enhanced learning that help IT and non-IT graduates to improve them in innovative and creative thinking. Furthermore, the project will not only results a teaching material, but it will help in creation of a IT specialized portal that exchange the experience, teaching methods, and success stories among the students and the teaching in IT departments.The project belongs to ""Developing the Higher Education sector within society"" which include the following National Priorities as defined by the Palestinian Minister of Education and Higher Education in PS: • Development of partnerships with enterprises.• Knowledge triangle: education-innovation-research.• Development of lifelong learning in society at large.The project set these priorities as a domain to enhance the graduates' thinking to be more reliable and productive."
