Teaching Philosophy Statement

My teaching profile is shaped by a variety of experiences, both as a student and as a lecturer. I feel privileged for having had the opportunity to teach at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) to serve the children of our nation and thus developing countries in the field of education. My teaching philosophy is based on five main pillars: Respect, passion, innovation, challenge, and excellence. All five pillars are seen as equal and mutual, i.e. from the students' and the lecturer's perspectives. They are closely linked, and cannot be seen separately. I strongly believe that providing a relaxed learning environment is the most effective way of teaching. When the instructor (lecturer) respects students and their opinions, it is very likely that students in return have respect for the instructor. There is no need for an authoritarian teaching style in order to gain respect. In my experience, admitting errors or a gap in knowledge is increasing students' respect, rather than causing a loss of respect. Taking students and their needs and opinions seriously help to build a healthy relationship, which in turn increases learning and knowledge. Already in the introductory lecture on a new course, I explicitly encourage students to ask questions at any time (during or after lecture). Passion is arguably the most important ingredient to every good teaching. This can be twofold: Passion for teaching, and passion for the subject area. Students have an intuitive feeling for an instructor's likes and dislike, and negative vibes sent out by an instructor affect the learning environment to a large extent. Along with the general enthusiasm for teaching goes a passion for the particular subject area. While I am aware that for logistical reasons, and for reasons of programme design, it is not always possible, I strongly believe that instructors should have the opportunity to teach in their special areas of interest as much as departmental structures and policies permit. When I am passionate about a specific area, my teaching improves to a large extent, and students' feedback confirms this. While I believe that it is vital to have a personal touch in every class, and in-class lectures cannot be replaced by information technology, I equally believe that the rapid development of IT offers an enormous chance for instructors to improve teaching. The use of Powerpoint is a common feature at most universities today. Used sensibly and wisely, it not only offers much more user-friendly visuals but also saves an enormous amount of money and environmental costs for copying overheads and paper handouts. All my lectures are prepared on Powerpoint, and student feedback underlines the usefulness of this tool. In addition, I am trying to include teaching technologies and innovations in class, such as video conferencing, Internet exercises in PC labs, the Immersive Situation Circuit, to name but a few. Teaching at tertiary level should not only be the transfer of knowledge. It should also encourage critical thinking and challenge students intellectually. From day one of every paper, I explicitly make sure that students know that they shall not see everything I say as a rule and the only solution. Particularly the tourism industry is constantly changing, and in most cases, it is not a matter of right or wrong but depends on the perspective from which the particular issue is seen. I ask students to challenge me as much as I will challenge them. I also make sure that students know that they will not lose marks because they have a different opinion. On the contrary, I explain that they are likely to receive higher marks, as long as they can justify their thoughts and opinions. Teaching is more than providing a lecture. It involves lecturing, interacting, supervising, marking, guiding, and - to a degree - counselling. I believe that as a lecturer, in every class I learn as much as my students do. It is my aim to strive for improvements in teaching with every new semester. Student evaluations are a very important tool to achieve this goal. While it is an art to read student evaluations carefully and disregard irrelevant and personal comments, constructive criticism is invaluable for the improvement of the course in the following year. Students might feel freer to honestly critique a course and an instructor because the evaluations are anonymous. As an instructor, all too often it is difficult to judge during term what students really think about the course, its content, and the instructor. Student evaluations, as well as unsolicited feedback, give a clearer picture of the students' feelings and needs. The above-mentioned pillars greatly contribute to teaching excellence, and continuous self-monitoring helps control and improve teaching and the relationship with students. Varied, interactive forms of teaching help to increase the concentration span of students, their interest in the topic and course, and thus the level of learning. My classes commonly include a mix of teaching methods, including classic lectures, discussions, group projects, presentations, guest speaker presentations, video conferences, videos, field trips, and Internet-based lectures in PC labs. Outside the classroom, AUTOnline (Blackboard/WebCT) is a tool to provide students with up-to-date information, further readings and additional course material, as well as with vital information for the course. I endeavour to continuously improve my teaching (inside and outside the classroom) and to provide students with the best possible learning experience. This includes regular lectures, as well as the personal component, such as a relaxed atmosphere and frequent availability outside the classroom, combined with respect for students and innovative teaching methods.

Teaching Goals Statement

My primary goal is to create a classroom environment that supports student learning and personal growth. I aim to improve classroom management by adopting effective strategies that promote focus, discipline, and active participation. This structured yet flexible environment will help students stay engaged and motivated to learn. I am committed to meeting the diverse needs of my students through differentiated instruction. By designing lessons that cater to different learning styles and abilities, I ensure that every student has the opportunity to succeed. This approach allows me to provide personalized support, helping students overcome challenges and reach their full potential. Critical thinking is a vital skill that I strive to cultivate in my students. I design lessons that encourage analytical thinking, problem-solving, and independent reasoning. By challenging students to explore new ideas and defend their viewpoints, I help them develop confidence in their intellectual abilities. Innovation is central to my teaching practice. I continuously explore new technologies and teaching methods to create interactive and engaging lessons. Integrating digital tools, collaborative projects, and real-world case studies enriches the learning experience and prepares students for future challenges in the engineering industry. Building a collaborative learning community is another key goal. I encourage teamwork, open communication, and mutual respect among students. This supportive environment enables students to share ideas freely and learn from one another, fostering a sense of belonging and collective growth. I aim to inspire a lifelong love of learning in my students. By sharing my passion for civil engineering and encouraging curiosity, I hope to motivate students to continue learning and exploring new ideas beyond the classroom. Finally, I am dedicated to continuously improving my teaching methods. I regularly reflect on my teaching practices and seek feedback from students to identify areas for growth. This ongoing self-assessment ensures that I can adapt to changing educational needs and provide the best possible learning experience.
