Abstract:
The number of Emirati teachers with the UAE (United Arab Emirates) national teaching degree is limited. These days UAE has been challenged to employ more Emirati instructors. The research aims to bring more staff to the Emirati education sector and to pinpoint ideas for hiring. Moreover, it aims to examine the relevance of including Emirati people in the teaching business as a vital problem in the Emiratization initiative. An ethnographic study is the main purpose of this research. This research highlights the influence of teaching assistants on students who pursue their academic doctoral degrees in foreign countries and compares it to the research data in the UAE. This research will explore how to bring more UAE nationals to the education field and how self-efficacy, personal outlook, and observational learning play a huge role in teaching and training. In this research, the paradigm is constructivism. The researcher is willing to understand the variety of distinctive participants in the educational sector. The researcher will explore ten Emirati faculty educators teaching in higher education. How did they get into the education sector and who trained them and mentored them? The researcher will be collecting the data through online surveys. The practical implications of this study are for schools and educators to benefit from creating possible solutions for hiring more Emirati instructors. UAE will benefit from this and create possible innovative solutions for future instructors and educators.
