TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

Teaching Philosophy Statement
My teaching mainly focuses on enhancing the capabilities of students in their future professional practice. I always create conducive environment in which learning can take place, and stimulate and nurture the students' development, giving help to them in terms of knowledge, techniques, and encouragement. I believe two-way communication is very important whereby they can have freedom to think, comment, and criticize. This will train them to be more independence on how to define a problem, how to decide what they need to solve it and how to find and evaluate new information. The concept of life-long learning and reading and integration of knowledge will also be emphasized. For improving effectiveness as an instructor, I always learn from my previous experiences and refer to learning materials of dynamics of teaching related to my field.



TEACHING GOALS

Teaching Goals Statement
I will continue to find better methods to improve my teaching and make the learning process enjoyable to the students. I will try to improve my lecturing skills by attending workshop or seminar on effectiveness of teaching. I will also seek for the advice of my seniors and implement their methods which can help me to improve my teaching. Besides improving the teaching methods, I will try to establish a good relationship with the student, try to learn the name of each student and something more about him or her and create a friendly and conformable learning environment. I will also try to involve in more researches to gain more experiences and maintain the life-long learning cycle in myself.
