My teaching philosophy

The ultimate goal of education should not be just getting higher distinction in all the subjects. Despite with best results from secondary, higher secondary and university education, if a student fails to have competency in real life situations, (s)he cannot be considered a successful person.

Education has a great impact on both cognitive and social behavior. It shapes person’s mentality, making more mature. So education plays a vital role in making the person more competent and qualified. Thus our education system must be shaped on such a way that it creates rational thinkers who are able to reason in logical arguments and who are able to apply what they have learnt in real life situations.

Exam oriented education, which mainly focuses on getting a good result in exams may create individuals who lack life skills and job skills. So initially, most of graduates who had completed their studies successfully often fail to perform well in their jobs. This gap must be filled within the education system. Students must be taught to apply what they have learnt.

Another important component of my teaching philosophy is increasing student involvement in the lessons. We must have a balance between student centered and teacher centered approaches of teaching, rather than just the classical teacher centered approach. In addition student interest must be maintained with different instructional variety to foster student participation in class.
