What is your teaching philosophy?
I strongly believe that learning is a continuous life process. In any setting, all the individuals are constantly interacting in numerous ways with their environment, learning new concepts and consolidating old ones. All of us in this environment are learners and a suitable way to help an individual learn a concept is to expose the depth to which the individual knows the concept, and then build on that. You can only get to this point by understanding the learner's position.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
1. Engage in confidence-building activities and provide immediate positive reinforcement for achievement. 2. Emphasize self-evaluation. 3. Provide the means and access to tools for evaluation. 4. Teach problem-solving techniques.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
1. By providing an appropriate and timely feedback to their learning needs. 2. By addressing their learning needs in a positive way, acknowledging the effort they put in to get the tasks accomplished well. 3. By finding and applying alternative approaches to disseminate the learning material in an interesting but meaningful way.
