Preface
In this section the teacher states his/her philosophy and vision of teaching and
academic lifetime.
Education is the process of acquiring knowledge, and aims at scientific thinking based
on objectivity and affirmation of rational thinking based on reason, logic and the spirit
of cash. And emphasizing ideas and concepts that call for social justice, unity, freedom
and contemporary originality.
Teaching is a written and oral message based on knowledge and its goal is to succeed in
an atmosphere of close and convincing communication among education officials.
The process of teaching is a joint process between the teacher and the student.
Therefore, they must be involved in helping them acquire the necessary analytical
methods and skills that help them to see things as they should, encourage them to
produce outstanding scientific knowledge and make the learning process more
enjoyable by linking the subject matter with practical life and local and international
issues. In order to encourage them to express their point of view. Modern
educationalism requires exchange between the two main parties to this process.
Students must practice educational science as an enjoyable daily practice. Any wish for
the work he does.
The philosophy of teaching is as follows:
Teaching by engaging the student in the educational process and encouraging them to:
1. Learning and thinking in a scientific analytical way.
2. Help the student acquire skills that help them see things according to their
correct relationships and relative importance.
3. Draw the attention of the student to the outstanding scientific production and try
to make the learning process more enjoyable.
4. Link curriculum topics to issues and issues of interest in the period in which I
teach the course.
5. It is important for the student to demonstrate their point of view and to learn a
logical way of thinking which helps the student to develop analytical skills.
6. The objective of the exams is to enhance the student's knowledge inventory
throughout the semester.
7. The exams also aim to help and support low-performing students and students
who are shy about increasing their ability to collect.
8. Looking at exams with this perspective helps relieve the stress that is usually
associated with exams.
9. Taking care to provide the student with the material and scientific references in
the first lecture.
10. Take care to use modern technology in the teaching process to make the material
more useful and enjoyable.
11. Take care of self-development by attending courses, workshops, seminars and
scientific lectures.
