Teaching Philosophy
Teaching Philosophy
I am simultaneously a teacher and a biologist, an inextricably linked relationship. Why? Our species (Homo sapiens, literally translated to wise man) has a cultural heritage and historical precedent of passing information from one generation to the next. Learning during our youth and passing on knowledge, advice and experiences as we age is an innate part of what it means to be human. Being a teacher only grants me the opportunity to impact our future leaders on a larger scale. However, I like to think that I have approached this responsibility in a particularly effective manner, as supported by the literature—passing on this information through high impact practices and applied research, so that students may tangibly experience the theoretical biology components within the classroom. I am keenly aware of the significance of my job, equipping these young minds with the inter-disciplinary skills they need to succeed, and try to fulfill it with sincerity and dedication.
My goals as a teacher is to educate the students in such a way that they are prepared to take up the challenges of the future. I take special efforts to prepare my lectures—updating my presentations continually; receiving fresh transfusions of ideas from my own ongoing research and recently published articles. Since my teaching focuses on Biomedical Sciences, an area of science in which discoveries occurs at a significant pace. Integrating research into my teaching helps students understand current scientific work. Learning developed theories and facts are important, but understanding ongoing work can be equally significant. I do this by developing skills like perception, analysis and expression. My assignments are designed such that I make students analyze and think logically by interpreting basic scientific experiments, which instills in them the appreciation of investigative science behind the diagrams of cellular and functional components of the cell. Furthermore, in the process, students are encouraged to interact not only with me, but also with their peers. I help the students to assume an active and creative relationship with their daily environment so that by the end of college, they are able identify and define the specifics of the problem and make proper judgments about the values and choice of their future career. I always try to instill in them the appreciation of investigative science, presentation abilities, improve their writing skills and help them to think beyond the classroom.
I serve a diverse group of students of various ages, backgrounds and levels. Although the common principles apply to all levels of student, I recognize that students of different ages, backgrounds and levels are prepared to engage the course material in different ways. The younger generations of students who come straight from high school are ready to be molded in any form: they are curious but less attentive. Their primary goal is to develop cohesive arguments and learn to defend their position with logic. My goal as a mentor is to assess the strength and weaknesses of competing perspective and show them a path of success. The more mature group of students is ready to get started the first day. These students are able to generate their own original arguments and design their own way of study. This is the group that I apply different high impact practices to instill in them curiosity so that they can reach beyond their self-imposed limits. I am accessible both inside and outside the classroom, offering individual attention that helps me develop bonds with my students. Their feedback is also the most reliable measure of my efficacy, and interacting outside the classroom setting often gives me the opportunity to assess what I may need to improve.
Teachers have great power and sway because they have great influence over students. Teaching, for me is not only my vocation but also my passion. I have proven my merits as a sincere and competent educator and look forward to improve myself every day to come. Indeed teaching is a noble profession.
