1. Introduction:
I believe that there are many skills and strategies that teachers have to have
to build a perfect learning environment. This way helps the students to be
positive and successfulin their learning. In addition, me as a teacher I will
try to be positive with my students as much as I can to build a good
relationship with them, because I think that this is an important point in
teaching.
What is learning?
I think that learning is how to get clear ideas about new concepts and
analyze them by using different strategies. As I see it, we have to look at
the conceptthat is learned from all its dimensions, then we will be able to
understand it in the exact way (Novak, 2010).
I believe that understanding new concepts is an important part in learning,
so Ias a teacher have to focus onways that I have to use to deliver the exact
point for my students. That’s could happen by motivate the students for
learning, using new technology tools for teaching and build a good
relationship between the teacher and the students. All these ways lead to
have a successful learners.
In my opinion, exchanging, sharing and transforming ideas is necessary
in learning, especially for students who have different learning skills.
Therefore, students will be able to be in depended in having the content
of their studies (Vygotsky, 1978).
What is your beliefs as a teacher?
2. In my opinion, all students have to have an ability to learn the content of
the subject. For example, the teacher has to use different strategies in
teaching that are appropriate for all learning styles and abilities, so this
could help the teacher to evaluate the students understanding at the end
(Arthurs, 2007).
Moreover, students should believe that when we stop learning, we die
inside. Therefore, motivating students for learning is very important to
improve their educational desire. That means teachers have to find out
some interesting ways to attract the students to learn more. For example,
having an appropriate learning environment, having interesting activities
through the class and having interesting content to learn (Guskey, 2002).
Methods for teaching?
There are many strategies that teachers use through their teaching.
According to my experiences from my teaching practices, I believe that
sharing ideas with others and cooperating while learning is an effective
way in teaching. For example, the result that I get from the students who
work in groups is more suffusion than when they work individually
(Blumenfeld, 1996). Furthermore, it is preferable to use life experiences as
a method to convey the target knowledge. In other words, linking the
content of the study with real life events enhances students’
comprehension, so they will be able to understand the content presented in
a different and easy way (Palloff & Pratt, 1999).
Conclusion:
3. In conclusion, I think that teaching is an important thing in our life that
people have to focus on it, because I believe that education provides us an
improved life.
