By Allah's Grace, the supervisory committee of development programs that emanated from the Committee of Program Creation and Development at the Department of Curricula and Teaching Methodologies has completed its mission by virtue of the marvelous support and cooperation received from the department members.
Building these programs had gone through several stages that involved surveying similar programs on the local, national, and international arena; holding referential comparisons; designing program goals and objectives; outlining the reasons for building them; writing course descriptions; writing learning outcomes; and the use of human resources. Work on these stages lasted for 12 months.
The programs are based on specific theoretical and philosophical frameworks in harmony with the philosophy of the Saudi community, its Islamic identity, and Arabic heritage.
These programs are based on the availability of many innovative and practical practices in order to build, develop, and assess educational practices and curricula and produce scientific knowledge. This is to achieve the aspirations of the Saudi community, which are in harmony with Saudi vision 2030. It also aims to improve outcomes in line with twenty-first century skills and sustainable development.
These programs passed several stages of development and review that aimed at improving the structure of these programs according to international scientific standards.
It is worth mentioning that the Supreme Supervisory Committee held many workshops and reviews that lasted for 50 hours over three months, which positively affected the quality of outcomes.
