After 40 years of teaching experience I have consolidated my own teaching philosophy, which, in essence, is: encourage students. Learning by dividing students into study groups dealing with micro theses related to syllabus topics. A problem to be solved should be in the center of each micro thesis. Solve the problem and represent the solution by employing the proper technology. Specify the contribution of each student within a certain group. At the beginning of each semester make clear to students the proportion of this job towards other course requirements. This teaching philosophy as associated with the relevant techniques and other psychological and pedagogical considerations, is described in my recent book titled "The theory and the practice of teaching", published in 2012 in the Albanian language. How can you help a student become an independent learner? By practicing the knowledge either in class or at home. The student's work must be evaluated every time, and the feedback must be given to the student. The difficulty of problems should be raised gradually, depending on the student's scale of understanding. This is a way to motivate the student and help him be an independent learner. If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
