In the studying periods at school and university, not only education but also our training was very important. We had been very impressed with the attitudes and approaches of our teachers and we gained some of them to our lives. We put into practise some of those attitudes and approaches which we imitated from them. Which of your behaviors and attitudes that you gained in the past from your teachers do you still practise today?
The students are the real evaluater of a teacher & they should recommend about the teacher for recognition.
I read a book years ago that identified many of the approaches and attitudes that impacted my teaching and were similar to faculty that I was fortunate to encounter as a student. The book is "What the Best College Teachers Do" by Ken Blains (2005, Harvard University Press). Bain notes that "the best college and university teachers create what we might call a natural critical learning environment in which they embed the skills and information they teach in assignments (questions and tasks)—authentic tasks that will arouse curiosity, challenging students to rethink their assumptions and examine their mental modes of reality" (p. 47). This statement is the essence or core of what the best college teachers actually do in their role.
Article What the Best College Teachers Do (review)
In my student life one of my teacher told to all students to prepare for your coming competitive examination with full force and determination that enabled me to get entrance in medical profession
The same I tell to my students and seeing the results similar to my achievements
Passion, Perfection, Dedication, Focus on Process rather than results/outcomes, Master the things before asking question to students, accepting and encouraging questions and arguments , Growth is not better to best but worser to better .
Dear Dillip KUMAR Bisoyi, Thomas Heinrich Musiolik and Jeffrey W. Alstete thanks for your valuable answers and meaningful examples.
Well,
Any educational material studied previously and used by students in the field of current and subsequent applications, is the main operator in determining the path.
Regards
Dear Satish Narula, D Ravindran and Bayan Hussien thanks for your valuable and meaningful answers.
Sorry had not finished my answer but the idea about being conscious of your environment is to enable one exhibit appropriate image in any environment you find yourself.
My teachers in the past taught us values of respect, humility and dedication. These are universal values but they have largely been forgotten by the young people today. We live in a workd dominated by materialism and the endless pursuit of success measured by money and profits. These materialistc values have cobtributed to weakening our society and to a loss of direction in many countries.
Dear Amboka Asumwa Agustine, the approach of protecting the environment is very nice, thanks .
So many, but two that stand out are a teacher in my all girls secondary school (in the UK) teaching us how to change an electric plug “because girls needed to know things like that”, and a teacher in college who gave us the formulae we needed in the exam because he said memorizing stuff that you could easily look up wasn’t valuable - what mattered was whether we could apply the formulae in practise. the first taught me about equality and the second influenced how I design courses and workshops, not just how I teach.
the opposite side of this is teachers who taught me what not to do. The maths teacher in that same secondary school who was scathing and demoralizing when one of us didn’t understand something, and that same teacher telling me she hoped I “found a good man because you won’t do well in life if you don’t” because i wasn’t very smart.
Dear Sylvia Kristen Lee, your examples are very nice and meaningful. Thanks for your contribution.
I do concur to these observations and that indeed teaching profession has contributed immensely to lives of many, especially those of us who started off our careers in classes and subsequently found ourselves in positions of leadership.
Dear Amboka Asumwa Agustine, your answer is like a summary of this topic. Thank you very much.
Throughout my career, I have learnt from my mentors and academic/research supervisors the sense of responsibility, punctuality, and respect and appreciation to our seniors! I am carrying that noble message on to my students.
We have learnt so much from our seniors and will be forever grateful! We have learnt responsibility, punctuality, appreciation, and respect! We have been carrying that on to our students since then.
One of the attitudes that I have carried through to this day is that one of not giving up even when things do not appear to work for me. Another attitude is resilience or bouncing back. The ability to capture the lost position and push on with my studies and life in general.
Dear Hassan Izzeddin Sarsak and Peter Nganga thanks for your answers which have valuable contribution.
Perseverance, teamwork, organization and in-depth study of the problems to be faced.
