Teaching builds future leaders, research brings prestige and accolades while consultancy work brings money. I will go for teaching, with that you can achieve all.
All of them are important but go to teach ... and research also because it makes teaching learn new things through research and practical experiments ...
All of them are very important. Teaching leads to the formation of students who will become researchers in the future. So teaching and research gives me maximum satisfaction.
Dear Prof. Ashok Pundir - For me, it varies with time. For example, by the early 90s I wrote10 books and they provided me with enormous joy. The last two years, I wrote 15 publications and saw six students flourish and prosper as my co-authors. In between, engaged in service activities to help minorities and disadvantaged businesses through many creative inititiaves. These were a source of amazing joy.
I am not sure whether it is a matter of "personal disposition" or the nature of my disciplines (psychotherapy and practical theology) but I find it difficult to isolate one activity as being more satisfying than the others. In my experience. . .
a) my work as a practical theologian/psychotherapist (i.e., consultancy) informs my teaching
b) my teaching informs my work as a practical theologian/psychotherapist
c) my work as a practical theologian/psychotherapist informs the research I conduct as it tends to be a form of practice-led research
d) the research I conduct informs my work as a practical theologian/psychotherapist
e) my teaching informs the research I conduct
f) the research I conduct informs my teaching
While I never planned it this way, I find it all very rewarding.
No1: teaching because I touch a large number of people. No 2: advice because I touch one or a group of people. No 3: search because I touch one person (me). The problem I like the 03 things
Teaching ranks number one, as it transfers your knowledge positively to a receptive mind, which also leads to learning. It helps both. Research ranks second because that too is a part of learning!
In my views, teaching backed up with research experience helps in gaining in-depth knowledge and learning and gives encouragement to potential researchers.
Teaching backed up with consultancy experience helps in understanding practical application and may lead orientation towards applied research.
It appears teaching supplemented with research and consultancy experience may be rewarding and satisfying for a teacher as well as students.
All 3 activities i.e. teaching, research & extension most important as academicians but prefer teaching because active participation of students motivated to me.
I prefer teaching. Research is also good if it leads to a product. But the research that only makes upgrades and rewards for the researcher is not good ...
I get satisfaction when I do research because each as every day I get to know new facts and always remain in the process of creating knowledge. To create a new knowledge and to teach an existing knowledge is itself very different.
For me teaching, Because I feel good about myself, although scientific research is very important to the professor through the dissemination of scientific research in international journals, communication and discussion and meet with researchers in all countries of the world, but teaching me happy and satisfied with myself because I was able to give all I can know And learned to know the students of primary and higher studies so that they can complete their scientific career in various disciplines and start their role in building society and promote it for the better.
Definitely, the research, is the best tool that exists, in order to learn, teach and share knowledge, also allows one to become an expert in a specific area, or even multiple fields.
I believe that the activities of teaching, research and consulting are going on within a certain percentage of the overlap in the professional life of the academic, and I think that providing advice and consulting to solve a scientific problem and application is ranked first in my academic approach.
I think Teaching and Research are my favorite ones. I enjoy teaching and gives me utter satisfaction to see student involvement in their courses of study trying to do their best to learn with utmost enthusiasm. With Research, it is delightful work that opens several doors to explore the unknown and vast world of any Science.
Among the three, which satisfies me most is research.
The world is a mistery to be known because we only know a bit about it.
Research allows me to look for the unknown. As I see it, a good way to look for the unknown is, say, to raise "irritating" questions and doubts, that is, questions that go against the mainstream and the answer of which leads us to advance knowledge and a better knowledge of the unknown. As I see it, the more I am a researcher the more I am entitled to be a good professor. What am I going to teach to my graduate students if I do not perform research? While teaching, I don't see myself as a professor that only transmits what other reseachers have investigated.
Teaching and research give me satisfaction. After my teaching, I can see my students obtained great achievement in local and national examinations or math contests. They are happy and I am happy. If my research can provide people information about how to learn and teach, I am also satisfied with that. Research is an interesting work.
Teaching gives me the most satisfaction. This is due to the fact that teaching is my passion and it gives me this feeling of happiness as it makes me think that I have done something useful for someone else.
Research because it helps me to follow the questions occupying my mind, and Teaching because I think transferring what you know to others provides an indescribable satisfaction, and at the same time give the teacher a deeper understanding of what she/he knows. I think teaching also gives us a kind of intuition about how learning process occurs and how the brain works which is thrilling in my opinion.
