Sujitha's Philosophy of Teaching

My Philosophy of Teaching

Sujitha P.S. (Mathematics)


Teaching ranks amongst the nation’s top five prestigious professions where one is involved in shaping the future of the country. Love for teaching evokes the passion and dedication. I firmly believe that the best way to learn is to teach and one continues to learn all through one’s life.
My personal experiences contribute to my philosophy today in that the most meaningful learning takes place when students are motivated and interested. Students should be given opportunities to relate their learning and critical thinking skills to social challenges and problems outside the classroom walls. Courses are supposed to be designed to accommodate the intellectual needs of the students. The teacher is there to facilitate this process.
The teacher needs to be very patient; to be tough at times; to present a diversity of materials, techniques, and input; and above all, to have a sense of humor. Boredom is the cruel enemy of learning. A boring teacher cannot awaken or motivate a class and bored students cannot interest or inspire.
My teaching philosophy is based on a fundamentally optimistic view; I believe that all the students, with the help of the right tools, will be able to overcome any difficulties in their learning process.

Hello,Here is Divya's Philosophy of Teaching

MY philosophy of Teaching

Education is important for the all round development of the individual. The teacher has to help the students in persuing their studies according to their interest and ability.In my childhooddays I tasted my mother's teaching skills.Great educators of the past have not undergone any training but have contributed positive educational principles for the benefit of upcoming generation.
Everybody needs some knowledge of mathematics in one way or the other.Mathematics demands hardwok from the learner.Hardworking citizens are very much needed in any developing society.It also gives the power of solving reallife problems.
I observe that in todays world of education, many student have difficulty in identifying the important conncepts in text.I beieve that it can be solved by motivaton. If the teacher himself/herself is not interested she/he can never motivate the class.
