It is important to develop the
ability to disseminate information and skills so that one makes a meaningful
contribution to the society. As widely accepted in the present day, it is time
for us to review traditional methods of teaching-learning activities and in
light of those past experiences reform those methodologies. I also believe adaptation of scientific
evidence-based teaching is the way to proceed.
Knowing
that each student is from a uniquely different is every aspect, as a teacher I
would like to pay special attention to student diversity and be a guide to my
students and encourage them to acquire knowledge in their own ways rather than
enforcing my preferred methodologies. To achieve this goal I would consider a
wide variety of techniques rather than sticking to one single method which is
most convenient for me, because there is no single ready made approach that
suits every student. I would use both positive and negative reinforcements. I
will be firm and where necessary I shall consider appropriate punishment while
keeping in mind the key to get a student’s attention is by winning their
affection.
Most
importantly I will try to make my students self regulated learners by providing
scaffold instructions as I believe such constructive perspectives are deeply
rooted with pedagogic approaches that promote active learning. I will give
feedback to the learners on a regular basis as I believe it will greatly
enhance them to understand their actions and draw conclusions. Rather than
dictating lessons I will pay a special attention on how learning opportunities
are presented to learners allowing progressive discovery of concepts and
skills. During the process of acquiring these skills I will not limit myself to
the classroom or to the lesson plan alone.
