Dr. Zaidoon holds a Ph.D. in Accounting and Finance from the University of Bristol in the UK and an MSc in Accounting and Finance from the University of Southampton in the UK. He has joined the Arab Open University in Jordan as an Associate Professor of Accounting, where he effectively blends research and teaching to enhance the student learning experience. Additionally, he has held faculty positions at Philadelphia University in Amman, Jordan, and Al-Hussein Bin Talal University in Jordan.

Dr. Zaidoon’s research interests include most management accounting topics including costing systems, performance measurement and accounting information systems.

My teaching philosophy is to provide a classroom environment where students are encouraged to express their own ideas and participate in their education experience. Although I stress individual responsibility for learning in the class, I also provide explanation and guidance regarding the course materials and subject matter. I want my students to enjoy the interaction in my classroom and to be challenged by the intellectual discussion of course material.
