My Teaching Philosophy
The teaching philosophy is a statement of one’s beliefs and thoughts about what’s important in teaching and learning.
Learning should be a two way process, from teacher/ lecturer to student and vice versa.Learning is not just a mere of knowledge seeking but it should incorporates values and behaviors in one self.
I would like to become an exceptional educator and competent surgeon and always challenge my self to improve my teaching method.
Pandemic Covid -19 hits us hard and this new era marks the rise of virtual teaching and online courses and this is a brand new challenges for me as clinician as well as dental lecturer.
Being an academician during pandemic era.
Things are changing, and fast. Our whole world is changing. In a short time, we were told to figure out how to transfer everything to an online setting.
Everyone is worried that this will affect their relationships with students but i believe that things will change.
For me, to make sure my teaching philosophy works during this pandemic era, the following "CRISIS" questions need to be addressed
1.Capability: What are the capabilities of my learning platform, myself, and my students?
2.Reliability: Are my plans reliable?
3.Inability: What I am not able to do in this situation?
4.Suitability: Are my plans suitable for the current situations.
5.Ingenuity: How can I be ingenious and still hold true to my teaching philosophy?
6.Sustainability: Is what I am doing sustainable in the long term?
