Philosophy of teaching


Education is an umbrella term for countless aspects like curriculum, teachers/instructors, students, learning materials, assessments and evaluations, schools/institutions, pedagogy, extracurricular activities, policies, etc. Among them, the role of the teacher has an excessive value. A teacher should have a dynamic character because according to my point of view, a classroom is a place where we cannot predict things happening. The teacher who plays the role of the sole instructor of the class can switch his or her role into a controller, the role model, or the mentor of a classroom. Whatever the role you play, reflecting on your teaching at the end of the day is mandatory because that predicts the teacher’s and student’s progress. Also, when teaching, the teacher should be mindful to bridge the lesson with its practical use. That is why the communicative teaching approach should be incorporated when teaching. I believe, a classroom is not a place where only the subject matters are taught. Equity, equality, inclusivity, and diversity are significant values to practice. Initiating to cultivate these values, collaborative learning, differentiating instructions, and concepts like scaffolding, ZPD, and MKO that are embedded in sociocultural theory (Vygotsky, 1978) can be practiced within the classroom to foster a positive learner-friendly environment in the classroom. 


Not every student pays the same interest in your lesson. You have to be smart to deliver the lesson hiding in the aspects students are interested in. This is one way to reinforce students for learning.
