Congratulations!! JASEELA SOCIAL SCIENCE

MY PHILOSOPHY OF TEACHING

JASEELA (SOCIAL SCIENCE)

I embrace teaching as an opportunity to inspire and espouses as a teacher. It is my goal to enhance student learning as a transformative experience. I believe that a teacher should set specific and clear standards from the very first day of the class. I firmly believe that any good teacher remains a good student through out life. As a teacher, I will constantly evaluate my performances in the classroom every time. This includes assessing how well I presented the material, what students reactions to the material were, and coming up with ideas or how to improve upon my presentations to maintain students interest.

I believe that taking time to rewrite lectures, add new materials and revise lesson plans is something that all teachers must do on a regular basis. It is the task of every teacher to increase knowledge and understanding in the classroom. The teacher should also be prepared to head students in the direction . I firmly believe that the duty of the teacher is to help the students any time the students approach the teacher

My relationship with my teachers developed in me the desire to become a good teacher and I am on my way to attain my goal. I will approach my students as my teachers used to be with me. As a teacher, I must set high
standards for my students and for myself. This is "my personal philosophy of teaching".

MY PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY OF TEACHING Divya N. Nair

MY PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY OF TEACHING

Divya N. Nair(Mathematics)

Education is the conscious and deliberate acts by which the matured personality, the teacher, acts upon the immature personality, the student, thereby bringing forth desirable behavioral changes in the latter. According to Tagore, education is “Making life in harmony with existence.” In Gandhiji’s opinion, “An all round drawing out the best in man and child body, mind and spirit” In Plato’s view, “Education develops in the body and in the soul all the beauty and all the perfection which he is capable of.”

Philosophy is an amalgamation of various specialized fields of knowledge, in the pursuit of more and more about less and less. It is the search for a comprehensive view of nature an attempt at a universal explanation of nature of things. Etymologically the word philosophy means love of wisdom derived from two Greek words ‘philos’ meaning love and ‘Sophia’ means wisdom. Philosophy is that branch of knowledge which has for its subject the quest for truth.

There is no aspect of education, aims, curriculum, methods, discipline etc, which is not influenced and determined by philosophy. It sets values on the basis of which education is framed. The philosophy varies from time to time. Philosophies of education reflect not only the accepted ideals and beliefs of a society at a particular time but also those principles which have a bearing on the practice of education.

In my opinion our educational system should be responsive to the changing and challenging needs of times. In a progressive society only promising situation exists. Education must be child centered. The teaching must give importance to the personality of child.

As a teacher, I prefer pragmatism. I promote a teaching method that suggest problem to my pupils and to find for themselves solutions which will work. I give much freedom to my students in sharing their ideas, doubts, thoughts. I allow the children to do experiments or to have a particular experience and thus pass on to the next as it arises from the previous one.

I embrace teaching as an opportunity to inspire and empower. As a teacher, it is my goal to enhance student learning as a transformative experience. I want students to feel personally changed by their participation in a course I am teaching.
I believe that a teacher should set specific and clear standards from the very first day of the class. I firmly believe that any good teacher remains a good student throughout life. As a teacher, I will constantly evaluate my performances in the classroom every time I teach. This includes; assessing how well I presented the material, what students’ reactions to the material were, and coming up with ideas on how to improve upon my presentations to maintain student interest. I believe that taking the time to rewrite lectures, add new material, and revise lesson plans is something that all teachers must do on a regular basis. It is the task of every teacher to increase knowledge and understanding in the classroom. The teacher should also be prepared to lead students in the direction they should go to reach correct conclusions without always providing the answers themselves.I firmly believe that its the duty of the teacher to help the students anytime the student approaches the teacher.
My relationship with my teachers developed in me the desire to become a good teacher and I am on my way to attain my goal. I will approach my students as my teachers used to be with me. As a teacher, I must set high standards for students and for myself.
