Teaching philosophy
TEACHING PHYLOSOPHY
STEPHEN OBENG (4121190019)
OBUASI METHODIST JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
‘Skill acquisition is the foundation of learning and an indispensable component of universal education’
It is my desire as a teacher to help my students acquire technical and vocation skills at the early stages of life if he or she is to be useful in their societies. I believe this will be the surest way to achieve universal education considering the different physical and mental abilities of the pupils.
Again, in a country where a greater percentage of pupils fail to progress to secondary and technical levels, technical and vocational skills acquisition is only but a useful investment. This theme has always my guiding principle. I always take considerable amount of time to understand my pupil’s interest, their social and mental background. An understanding of these has helped me to be able to actively involve all my students in practical activities.
Fundamentally, I believe learning the names of almost all my students has helped to make the students feel acknowledged and part of the teaching and learning process in the classroom. Also, I believe making pupils work in groups eliminates individuality and encourages teamwork, an important value in the skills acquisition process.
In espousing the principle of teaching through skill acquisition, I believe that the provision of the requisite materials, tools and equipment to pupils as well as guidelines is key and important.
I am aware that in the teaching and learning process, a teacher’s appearance and personality impacts a lot on how pupils relate to and learn from the teacher. I therefore have taken steps and measures to be approachable, fair, discipline, kind, honest and respectful to my pupils. I have almost always appeared appropriately and decently in class.
My classroom management strategies are always made flexible to suit different conditions and levels of pupils to ensure that the learning environment is favorable
