Teaching

Courses Taught
I have designed and taught a wide range of courses in higher education, specializing in both quantitative and qualitative methodologies and finance in higher education. My teaching portfolio includes the following:

Introduction to Quantitative Methods in Educational Research
An entry-level course designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of research design, statistical analysis, and interpretation of data in educational contexts.
Data Analytics II: Correlational Studies
A continuation of data analytics principles, focusing on advanced statistical techniques such as multiple regression, logistic regression, and ANCOVA. The course integrates statistical computing with SPSS and SAS for applied learning
Structural Equation Modeling
Covering advanced multivariate techniques for testing and estimating causal relationships, this course explores path analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and full SEM, with applications in social sciences research.
Event History (Survival Analysis)
A detailed examination of survival data and time-to-event analysis, this course focuses on hazard functions, survival curves, and Cox proportional hazards models.
Time-Series Regression
This course introduces the analysis of time-dependent data, including autoregressive models, seasonality adjustments, and ARIMA modeling techniques.
Hierarchical Linear Modeling
An advanced exploration of multilevel data structures, this course covers random effects modeling, nested data structures, and applications in educational and behavioral research.
Causal Inference
Focusing on experimental and observational data, this course delves into propensity score matching, difference-in-differences, and instrumental variable techniques for identifying causal effects.
Principles and Practices of Adult Learning
Exploring theories and principles of adult learning to create effective educational outcomes, this course emphasizes diverse learning contexts, challenges faced by adult learners, and strategies to enhance instructional effectiveness
Qualitative Inquiry
Exploring qualitative research methods, data collection techniques, and analysis strategies to deepen understanding of social and educational phenomena.
Higher Education Finance
Examining the principles, policies, and practices in financing higher education institutions, focusing on budgeting, resource allocation, and equity considerations.
Statistics for Behavioral and Social Sciences
Covering basic and intermediate statistical techniques, with a focus on practical applications for analyzing behavioral and social data.

Teaching Philosophy
As an educator, my goal is to create an inclusive and engaging learning environment where students feel empowered to take ownership of their education. I strive to:

Implement active learning strategies to foster critical thinking and collaboration.
Tailor instruction to accommodate diverse learning needs and backgrounds.
Encourage the application of theoretical knowledge to real-world problems.
Promote equity in the classroom by fostering a culture of mutual respect and inclusion.

Impact of Teaching
My commitment to teaching extends beyond the classroom. I have contributed to improving teaching practices at the institutional level through faculty development initiatives, including workshops on evidence-based teaching methods. My efforts have been shown to positively impact student engagement and learning outcomes, particularly in STEM and higher education disciplines.

Feedback and Continuous Improvement
I take a student-centered approach to teaching, regularly seeking feedback to refine my methods. Students have consistently praised my ability to make complex topics accessible and my dedication to their success.
