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.
