Hi, my name is Abhirammi a/p V. Kaneshwaran. I am 22 years old. I am doing Bachelor of Education (Hons.) which is one of the UNITAR Course or Program at Sentral College, Penang. I started my degree course about 10 months ago and now I am in my 3rd semester. Throughout the past 10 months of my degree life, I have managed to learn a lot of things in more detail especially in terms of teaching aspect after joining this education course. For example, I managed to learn the correct methods of teaching and what are the pedagogy skills involved in a professional teaching process. In addition to this topic, I also managed to understand in more detail regarding what are the characteristics that a teacher should adapt into themselves
in order to become a professional educator in future. For example, patience is one of the main characteristics that a teacher should adapt into themselves as they need to be patience enough when dealing students with different characteristics and behavior in school.
The main reason why I choose to do this particular degree course is because I am interested to become a teacher in future and this interest was in me since my childhood days. Besides that, my parents also wanted me to become a teacher as they notice that I love to teach my siblings and my friends when I was young and that act of mine made them to believe and have confidence that I had the passion in teaching in myself at young age itself.
Besides that, the another main reason why I wanted to become a teacher because I love to share my knowledge to others and I believe that teaching profession will definitely be a platform for me to share my knowledge to others specifically to the students whom are the future generations in schools or other higher education institutions like universities. In addition to this topic, I also will be able to gain more new knowledge or ideas at the same time when I become a teacher as I need to deal with new syllabus that have new information or content from time to time.
Furthermore, I also want to become a teacher because I believe that teachers are the ones that will be creating many good human capitals for a country through their teaching process. So, as a teacher, I am able to produce many good human beings that will be useful for my country's progress and development and at the same time, I am able to make my life more meaningful because I am able to produce good human beings in future that are talented and skilled in many aspects.
My ultimate goal in my life is to become a professional teacher. In order to become a professional teacher or educator in future, I have to follow certain steps in order to fulfill my goal in future. Firstly, I must produce students that are holistic or all rounded in future. This is because I believe students that are all rounded or skilled in all aspects will be able to do and achieve all kind of tasks that are challenging to them in future. Moreover, this kind of students are the ones that will be able to develop our country in future to better phrase. When I am able to produce students that are holistic , I believe that I am professional in my career. Furthermore, this is also one of the goals emphasized by the National Educational of Philosophy (NEP).
Besides that, I also believe that in order to become a professional teacher, I need to use different teaching methods or technique when teaching the students in school and do not stick with one specific teaching method. As a result, the students will start to feel interesting with my lessons and they will automatically have the interest to learn effectively in my class and score excellent results in their examination in future. This could help them to become a successful person in future as well. As a teacher, pedagogy skills are very important to us in order for us to teach the students professionally and also make them to have the interest to learn effectively during my lesson in the classroom.
In addition to this topic. in order to become a professional teacher, I should not only support students in terms of their curriculum aspects but at the same time, I should support them in terms of their co-curriculum aspects. This is because students in school might not only be good in curriculum aspects, but also might be good in terms of co-curriculum aspects (sports). So, as a teacher, I should also support them in co-curriculum aspects in order to help the students to improve their talents and respective skills in sports and help them to become a successful athlete in future. For example, I can help to coach them in sports activities like running and hurdles through or during the co-curriculum period which is held at school once a week.
There are a few solid reasons that made me to choose this particular philosophy in my teaching career. One of the reasons is because this particular philosophy allows or emphasizes the involvement or participation of students in the classroom and does not only encourages the participation of teachers (teachers-centered) in the learning and teaching process that occurs in a classroom environment. As a result, the teacher-students relationship will be more stronger in future because they will have the opportunity to work in group and communicate in the classroom often.
Besides that, the application of this particular teaching philosophy in my teaching process allows me to teach students using different effective ways or methods like presentation and group works and not only to teach them based on text-books (text-book orientated). This could help me to have an effective teaching and learning classroom environment besides at the same time, allows me to have a professional teaching lifestyle in future.
Therefore , by using this particular philosophy, I will be able to interact with students more frequently and able to see and monitor their education performance through their participation in the classroom from time time. As a result, me and my students are able to develop ourselves in future and I believe this particular teaching philosophy will help me to define the standard of myself being an individual in my teaching profession in future. Thank you.

ReplyDeleteThanks my dear friend. True. No pain, no gain. I wanted to become an educator so that my entire life will be meaningful and I wish that all my goals that I wants to fulfill in future as an educator can be successfully done.
ReplyDeleteI do see that you have a deep passion for teaching and being around children. It's good that you have chosen this course because it is not easy to be an educator unless you really have the passion and thirst for teaching. Besides, something that I have learned from my lecturer is that as a teacher we must always "BRING KNOWN TO THE UNKNOWN". This is my advice to you as well Abhi. Always make sure that in whatever you do, at the end of the day your students achieve something and not forgetting to always maintain a calm and peaceful classroom. When teaching in the future, keep changing your methods of teaching and integrate the various methods that you have learned in the three school of thoughts to produce effective t&l process and students will be more excited in learning. Above all, remember to always a healthy relationship with your students in the future that they will feel secure and open with you and the others in the classroom. All the Best in your future undertakings as a teacher. I know you will make an incredible teacher. :)
