PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY OF TEACHING

MY PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY OF TEACHING

Safeera P.T.

Education means the development of desirable habits, skills and attitudes which makes an individual a good citizen. In the words of Swami Vivekananda “education is not the amount of information that is put into brain and riot there, undigested all your life. We must have life-building, man making, character making, assimilation of ideas. If you have assimilated five ideas and made them your life and character, you have more education than any man who has got by heart a whole library”.

Teaching is a very respectful profession in the world. The character of a child is formed through education. Education also develops the personality of a child. When I was a very young girl, my teachers influenced my character. My teachers and parents motivated me to join the teaching field.

The growth of children in our society is very much important. As Tagore said “every child comes to the world with a message”. The students will become the teachers, parents, politician, ministers, MLAs, MPs etc. of tomorrow. So their education becomes very important and they must be developed in this sense. Hence a teacher should teach them in foreseeing these matters.

I want to teach my students more than the subject matter given in a text book. I will try to develop good character, personality, courage and confidence in my students. I will support them in constructing knowledge and motivate them to activate their prior knowledge.

I would like to become a guide, friend and philosopher of students. I feel that the students are constantly supporting their teachers. In the modern world parents do not care their children all time. So the teacher must act as mother, guardian etc. of students. Therefore the teacher should impart quality education to their students and bring them up morally rich and socially committed.

During my profession, I will provide special care for slow learners and establish friendly relation with them. I will try to create good atmosphere in the classroom and develop desirable interest in ideas and task related to commercial activities. As a commerce teacher I will teach the students of adolescence age. So it will really be a challenging job through out my life.
