TEACHING BEYOND THE VISION OF MOLDING THE LEARNERS

I firmly believe that education should go beyond the transmission of knowledge and focus on empowering students to become active participants in their learning process.

And as an educator, challenges are at stake, but I always believed in the power of a learner-centered teaching philosophy to promote student engagement, critical thinking, and academic growth. By placing students at the center of the classroom, I aim to create a learning environment that fosters curiosity, independent thinking, and lifelong learning.

Recognizing and valuing students’ individuality and diverse learning styles is one of the key elements of a learner-centered approach. As a teacher, a conscious effort to get to know my students on a personal level, understanding their interests, strengths, and areas for growth.

To promote active learning and critical thinking, incorporating student-centered activities and projects is important. Rather than relying solely on lectures and textbooks, encouraging students to engage in hands-on experiences, collaborative discussions, and problem-solving tasks. Designing opportunities for students to work in groups, engage in discussions, and solve problems collectively. This collaborative approach enhances their communication and teamwork skills and exposes them to different perspectives and ideas.

Students learn from one another, challenge their assumptions, and develop empathy and respect for diverse opinions

A great challenge that might be considered is committing to continually refining my practices and seeking innovative strategies that prioritize student engagement, empowerment, and authentic learning experiences. Keeping in mind an aim to inspire my students to become lifelong learners who are curious, adaptable, and ready to contribute to society and be an asset to society.(
