handle different styles of learning in order to obtain the learning outcomes of a course.
My teaching strategy usually takes into consideration the following factors:
- Learning outcomes of course, program
- Learning styles of students
- Contents of the subject
- Physical setting
- Resources
- culture
For me, a single method of teaching is not appropriate to tackle these considerations.
This is because students are not learning in same way. For instance, I cannot use only
lecture to accommodate all learning styles of all students. Consequently, I usually adopt
several methods of teaching. These might include:
- Lecture
- Demonstration
- Discussion to engage students
- Cases discussion
- Interaction and engaging with students through asking questions.
- Repeating
However, the priority is given for these methods and approaches required by the
department or faculty. I also facilitate teaching through using the media, internet, social
network as appropriate to achieve the learning objectives of the course. Furthermore, the
assessment methods are selected carefully in line with the learning outcomes as well as
the teaching methods. I usually design the assessing system according to the department
and faculty requirements as part of compliance with the related guidelines. Generally,
the methods of students assessment consist of written exams, written assignments
(essay, report, and dissertation), homework and quizzes.
I do believe that the teaching methods and practices should be improved over time in
order to achieve the teaching goals. Effective teaching might not be a matter of
experience. Instead, change over time and technological development change the ways
of student learning and engagement. Thus, I put objectives to maintain effective
teaching as well as to plan career growth. First of all, I appreciate the students
feedback. In this context, I consider students as a mirror of my work, quality of
teaching. Secondly, I have an objective to update myself with new teaching strategies
and methods via reading articles, attending seminars and workshops. Thirdly, it is to
follow up the new technologies of learning and teaching. I believe technology can
provide us with effective tools for teaching.
