TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

Teaching Philosophy Statement
Education is a most important aspects or growth and development. It is my desire as a lecturer to help students meet their fullest potential by providing an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking, and invites a sharing of ideas. I am provide students with the fundamental tools necessary to move forward to society continues to success evolve. I hope to share my knowledge that I have learned along the way and encourage my students to realize their dreams. My role is to guide, providing access to information rather than acting as the primary source of information, the students' search for knowledge is met as they learn to find answers to their questions. For students to construct knowledge, they need the opportunity to discover from themselves and practice skills in authentic situations. I am providing students access to hands-on activities and allowing adequate time and space to use materials that reinforce the lesson being studied creates an opportunity for individual discovery and construction of knowledge to occur. I have let the students to become self-discovery so that they have opportunity to study things that are meaningful and relevant to one's life and interests. I am developing a curriculum around student interests motivation and stimulates the passion to learn. One way to take learning in a direction relevant to student interest is to invite student dialogue about the lessons. Given the opportunity for input, students generate ideas and set goals that make for much richer activities than I could have created or imagined myself. Helping students to develop a respect for themselves and their environment occurs through an open sharing of ideas and a judicious approach to discipline. When the voice of each student is heard and environment evolves where students feel free to express themselves. Class meetings are one way to encourage such dialogue. I believe students have greater respect for their lecturers, their peers and the lessons presented when they feel safe and sure of what is expected of them. In setting fair and consistent rules initially and stating the importance of every activity, students are shown respect for their presence and time. In turn they learn to respect themselves, others and their environment. For myself, teaching provides an opportunity for continual learning and growth. I share my own passion for learning with them. I feel there is a need for compassionate, strong and dedicated individuals who are excited about working with students. In our competitive society it is important for students to not only receive a solid education but to work with someone who is aware of and sensitive to their individual needs. The students emotional well-being also plays a vital role. As a result, I always give encouragement such as to do their best and communicate successfully with students. My teaching style is to create lessons that students will successfully grasp. This will make student become engaged in the learning process. I have ability to become friendly and patient with my students. I do that by getting to know their learning style. I hope that they will study in a good environment. In short, I want to produce high quality students which is able to contribute to the world.



TEACHING GOALS

Teaching Goals Statement
I am teaching in materials and structural subjects. Much of what I teach coincides and overlaps with my research interests. I enjoy teaching and sharing with students my fascination about the diversity of life contained in the natural world. I want to build awareness in students of how all living things are independent on Civil engineer. My goal in teaching will be to empower students to become leaders within their chosen field. To that end, I will try to emphasize critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication skills in addition to the problem-solving skills that will make them experts in the subject. A working partnership between the lecturer and student requires active participation in the process of learning by both parties. Students are usually receptive to knowledge if they are properly engaged by the instructor in activities that make them critically think about the subject matter. My style of teaching employs a number of strategies, in order to accomplish this task. I utilize lecturing, discussion groups, field and laboratory activities, reading assignments, research papers, handouts, experiments and a lot of personal attention on my part in order to meet the educational needs of the student. When I lecture, I like to use analogies and examples, including to get facts, ideas and concepts across to the students. I believe that this is an effective teaching method because it makes the subject material more accessible to students by starting them off with something they are already familiar with. I am interested in teaching students in the classroom and through example (i.e., research and real site). Undergraduate research projects are great tools for helping students to gain a firm understanding of the "scientific method" and utilize critical thinking skills in developing conclusions based on available data and tested hypotheses rather than speculation. I believe that research is a creative process of discovery, and that the scientific method is one way that we learn more about ourselves and the natural world. I think that these experiences can be critical in helping a student develop positive attitudes towards science and motivating them to become lifelong learners. I want to help students develop competency in a broad range of research, laboratory and field skills, in order to foster a genuine interest in civil engineering. By fostering this interest, I hope that students will take the lead in participating in outside activities that further develops them professionally (e.g., scientific research or Institution of Engineers Malaysia). The ultimate goal is to generate educated men and women. I see that this is of critical importance, because scientific knowledge, by itself, can be misused, if other aspects of a person life are not in balance and well developed. A student graduating from a civil engineering program at a university should have an understanding of the relationships between science, technology, society, and human values.
