My Teaching Philosophy
I MIGHT be a teacher later on, yes indeed ! But, its depend on the current vacancy. There's a possibilities to
I believe that teachers must have exceptional knowledge of their subject matter. Students need to be “sold” on science, and a science teacher that does not love their subject to its core probably should not be teaching. I believe that science teachers must stay current with knowledge from within their field. Science is an ever-changing discipline, and teachers who are not up-to-date on recent developments in their field cannot be effective teachers.
I believe in “24/7 involvement.” As a teacher, I am committed to making myself available to my students through e-mail and instant messaging, so that I can answer students’ questions at any time of day or night. I also will encourage discussion amongst classmates, so that they may synthesize physical thoughts on their own. Finally, I will encourage my students to keep an eye on the natural phenomena around them, to build curiosity and to develop “physical intuition.”
I believe that science isn’t easy. Standards should be constructed in a way that all learners are challenged to an appropriate level for them. However, a difficult course needn’t have a difficult instructor. My philosophy is to create a framework of high expectations, while simultaneously offering support for students to meet those demands.
Most of all, I believe that the most important trait science teachers can instill in their students is curiosity. Science is a process, but not a body of knowledge. The most successful scientists ask more questions than they answer. I will ask my students to ask questions about what they see, and encourage them to use their knowledge and physical intuition to develop physical explanations. Lastly, I believe in science, I believe in education, I believe in students, and I believe in the responsibility of humankind to control its own destiny through science. I wish to do my small part.
