Research, Publication and Reports:
Research, Publication and Reports:
1. My option for Educational Leadership and Management course during the Masters Studies (M.Ed.) at AKU-IED was motivated by my strong interest in the application of modern teaching and leading methodologies and managing educational institutions. I was in a strong favor of integration of information technology, in the field of education hence, my final thesis as an M.Ed. student is also on the same line which is ‘exploring head and deputy head teachers’ attitude towards using computers in education’.
a. An extracted article of this research has published in the International Journal of Information Communication and Technology Education (IJICTE) in Issue #30 (Vol 8 Nr 2 - March 2012). http://www.igi-global.com/article/exploring-head-deputy-headteachers-attitude/65575

3. I have been given the assignment as the coordinator of different sessions, all the reporting has been done, however a special report, which I want to mention is the WSIP 2009-10 Report which has been kept in PDCN Library for reference. It is an extensive and success story of WSIP intervention in a school for a whole academic year. Based on this experiences;

6. Innovative Services: I have been managing two online blogs http://www.dkhunza.blogspot.com and http://ww.scribd.com/dk_hunzai for the last couple of years and have been sharing my creative writings and slide presentations with the wider community on internet. Up-till to date (Jan. 23, 2012) more than 3600 visitors have visited my first blog, while more than 12,300 visitors have visited the second blog. Many visitors have subscribed my blogs and frequently visit and provide feedback.
a. These blogs are also the platforms provided to my course participants, as I encourage them to articulate their thoughts, and write book reviews etc. and with their permission, I have been publishing their work online.
b. An Edited Book of book reviews written by the course participants of CPE: Innovative pedagogies has been recently composed and placed in PDCN Library.
c. I have been preparing the innovative, motivational and analogical slides by using my IT skills for all of the sessions which I lead at PDCN. These messages have always proved to be effective for CPs learning and their motivation towards learning. Course participants always appreciate such motivational messages during the sessions in their reflections. Some of my colleagues have also adopted this strategy for their sessions too after observing me.
d. I have the expertise of using computers for last 21 years and I use this proficiency in my classes and try to integrate ICT in the educational sessions.
