My passion for teaching psychology comes from my desire to share a science which helps the population understand each other in order to produce more tolerance within society. I believed initially that, as one person, I would only be able to help a small number of people if I went into private practice. However, as an instructor, I will be able to create a greater social change by guiding my students toward their greatest interest in the field. Applying this methodology, instructors use psychology to create positive influences within their worlds. I view education as a lifelong process. As a lifelong learner, I believe it is important for an instructor to create an excitement within the classroom which assists in encouraging an intrinsically motivated student. My own personal experience motivates my desire to learn and share the science of psychology. The more that society is aware of the diversity of others based on factors leading to development of the personality, the better they can be understanding and lead others to be understanding as well.
It is the instructor’s job to determine the most effective way to deliver information so that it can be understood, absorbed, and stored. By creating a relevancy within the instruction, the instructor offers the student an opportunity to become more interested and therefore open to the incoming information. In order to facilitate this learning, the instructor must stimulate the students with activities and discussions which directly relate to them. Incorporating group activities, interest focused discussions, various media sources, and ongoing contact will keep the students interested and connected. I strive to integrate the career paths of each student within the classroom will provide interest provoking ideas and therefore encourage interest within each student. Along with provoking interest within the classroom, the instructor must be motivating. The excitement that the students feel from the instructor will transfer to the student. It is important for the instructor to go into the classroom with passion and show the students how excited she is to share her wealth of knowledge. Knowing how much this new knowledge will help them within their future lives and sharing that with the students will inspire continual learning. My experiences in life, blended with my desire to teach psychology in order to encourage positive social change, sets me aside as an instructor. I like to know each student and how they are motivated so that I can encourage them appropriately. As an online instructor, it is important for me to initiate and encourage the feeling of community in the class room. It is important for students to feel supported by faculty and fellow students.
