My teaching philosophy is to help the students generate genuine interest in learning. I felt that a lot students study not out of interest but out of grades. The students who have poor grades are students who are not motivated and have not developed real interest in their field of studies.

Oh Ai Ye said...

To educate students with the knowledge they need to acquire and help them develop life long skills to be become critical thinkers.

Also to be the encouragement they need as they search for their purpose and standing in the society. Constantly emphasize that a key to success is also to be a morally upright person in whichever area they pursue.

I borrowed from Einstein's quote:

"Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid".

I strongly that believe every child/student has his/her own talent. We just need to help them realise it & not criticise them for something that they can't do...

To ensure that the students are confident about themselves and about the knowledge they have gained and its applications in the real world outside of the classroom.

Mary Chin said...

My teaching philosophy is to bring out the potential of the students, motivating them,preparing them for the working-world. Each individual is different, and reach their potential at different moments in life, and as teachers we act as just one of many beacons to that destination.

Ng Guo Yi said...

My teaching philosophy is that all students who came into DMR course, tehy came with some interest in the industry, sea or simply like maths.

I want to harness that interest (no matter how small) into a life long passion for them in the marine industry!Let them be able to perform in their upmost best capacity possible!

Highest form of teaching is sharing. If I share my knowledge, I hope that they would share theirs with me. Through sharing that there will be understanding and learning.

My teaching philosophy is hoping to motivate students to learn as well as I feel that they should also be responsible towards their own learning. They would learn most if they are keen to begin with.

My teaching philosophy is simple, teach whatever I know to the students. benefit them by the knowledge that I have. Try my best and use the most effective way to make them focus, listen, understand and most important thing is to score in the exam

I would like impart a practical learning experience for the students. They will be able to understand, remember and use the knowledge next time when they graduate and work.

Kim Youngkook said...

My teaching area(Naval architecture) is all about complicated ship building theory and calculations but I believe they can be interesting topics. I'll try to prepare pictures and movie clips for students' better understanding. I can also share my real experience with them. Moreover I'll open my ear to the students to know their needs.

Emma said...

My teaching statetment will be "Teach the students not just about something but to be somebody". It's really not not original thought but I was inspired with a recent interaction with DP when we presented our Diploma's strategies moving forward and he underscored that point. I agree with him that as lectures, we should be complacent and compromising. We need to make great demands of ourselves and of our students, really set the bar high and break through the mold.

I believe in collaborative and active teaching, which I believe means seeing the students as partners in the learning journey. Gone are the days when what teachers say were considered as gospel truths. With the easy access to knowledge and materials, students can easily take us to the mat and they should and we shouldn't back down. Conflict can be good. As what we always hear in SP, go MAD!

Liu Sin Yee said...

My current teaching philosophy (I believe it evolves..) is:

1) to encourage students to find their voice
2) to inspire them to draw meaningful connections between subjects/between schoolwork and real-life, and see that education is not about compartmentalising knowledge
3)to communicate my belief in the students

If I can, I would advise them on character traits that are required for society.

"We learn because its a chain reaction, each subject leads to the next", - that is my statement.

"Students should not function as a recorder but as a transmitter", my philosophy is to encourage the students to fully apply their knowledge in a work environment.

I believe my teaching philosophies might change over time but currently they are:

1) to inculcate in my students, apart from academic knowledge, life skills and people skills to manage life after tertiary education.

2) to inspire them to draw meaningful connections between schoolwork and real-life, and see that education is not an end itself, but a means to an end.

My philosophies are derived from personal experiences in school and the industry where certain characteristics are required to succeed and make things work.

Equip students with adequate knowledge/skills (parachute) and expose them to what's expected of them in the working world... Then kick them outa the 'plane'!

Edmund Lui said...

My teaching philosophy is to "relate academics to real life situation" This mean to let them know why they are learning these modules and how these infomation could help them solve real life critcal problems such as identification of a certain infectious agent during an outbreak that could potentially save lives using the clues and facts we learn in lessons. This will triggle their urge to know more!

Every student has a talent waiting to be groomed. A successful teacher helps the student discover his/her talent and guide his/her journey to developing the talent.

Students are able to learn and apply my teaching. This has been my philosophy since I was young, but it is worded as 'I will learn and be able to apply them in my life' as I was never, directly a teacher at that time!

1) It isn't about the grades but the learning process
2) I am just a facilitator in the process to open the student's eyes to his/her potential and the many opportunities available out there
3) Treat the students as equals and with respect, care and concern

Leslie Neo said...

I believe that as a teacher, we should not be limited to facilitate learning only in the subjects we are teaching. Along the way, we should also seek to impart lessons about the bigger picture: about the industry, about the world and about life. I will employ creativity and empathy to attempt this.

Chicken-Mee-Rice said...

Jimmy Fan here. My approach to teaching is 'to share, learn and grow with the students'. I believe that by entering into a partnership with our students, we can empower them and re-align our outlook towards 'better' teaching.

chris ho said...

In order to facilitate the definition of 'my teaching philosophy', I had to travel back in time to search for a particular course note which I attended as an undergrad in my university.

The experience I had with subject is very unique and I felt that the education received previously spur me strongly to adopt it as my philosophy.

It was first introduced by my professor Mr. Greg Missingham from Melbourne University, a great lecturer, whom named the subject matter as Ariachne's thread. The word 'Ariachne' was borne out from Greek mythical tales of Arachne and Ariadne, whose tales revolves within a labyrinth, a web of anxiety, an 'experience of confusion', recovery from such disorientation by travelling through the maze, one finds self knowledge upon retracing the steps of entry towards egress.

Therefore my teaching philosopy...'is intended to assist student with discovering their own predilections and capacities, firstly, and secondly to provide openings to other avenues of exploration'.

Huishan said...

"Let's learn from each other!"

I will tell this to my students especially when we first met. Nobody is perfect, and neither am I. So I prefer to establish more of a peer to peer relationship with my students rather than student to lecturer relationship. By doing that I hope to break any barrier, so if they have problems/questions they will be more willing to approach me. Its a win-win situation where they learn from me and I'm also able to learn from them.

Raphael Wong said...

My teaching philosophies:

1. care for the students

2 nurture them to meet their potential and provide students with relevant skillset and knowledge that will lead to life long successes.

3 excite students about correct learning attitude

4 "knowledge is a longlife learning"

I starts to realise it when I embark on my teaching career. As usual is all those movies especially with kung fu elements (eg Ip Man & The Karate Kids). It always focus on teaching and build up a strong foundation. In fact it inspires me...

Tan Heok Foon said...

Before we know about what’s our teaching philosophy, we must know our goal in teaching. I strongly believe that a teacher’s main goal is to build/empower rather than merely transferring knowledge, helping students in their learning.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. – Chinese proverb
I have used it as the foundation for my teaching philosophy: “TO ENCOURAGE THE STUDENTS TO THINK”.
Why I will come up with that statement/philosophy? I still remembered when I first started to teach six months ago, I asked my student a question relating to my subject. The student answered according to the textbook…….Therefore, I aspire to create a learning experience that provoke student to think out of the box and how they can apply the knowledge in real world situations and not just memorizing the contents.

Students inherently have what it takes to succeed. we just have to bring it out of them.

Jeremiah Kwok said...

My teaching philosophy is making my students world ready, work ready, and life ready! And to do that, I hope to bring my experiences from the industry into the workplace. This is the single most valuable knowledge that someone "from the industry" can carry with him into education. "See a need, meet the need!” from the animated film Robots, is what I always tell my students.

Daphne Chan said...

My teaching philosophy is to share my knowledge and industry experience, and hope to inspire the students with the possibilities that education can offer.

My teaching philosophy is to motivate students to be "thinkers with a heart":

- only when they think, can they unleash their true capabilities & be who they are meant to be

- only when they feel, can they be kind/ empathise with others and be great leaders

Chew Choon Seng said...

I believe by inducing student interest, their absorption and retention of subject knowledge will improve, thus helping them perform well for their exams. I also believe in letting them see the big picture to let them plan for their own future better and earlier.

Aznan from SB said...

I honestly have yet to crystallise what my teaching philosophy should be, albeit i have some ideas of what i want to achieve:

i) cultivate a natural curiosity for the students to explore their own passions and potential in living throgh those passions
ii) catalyse their own passion to action
iii) be like the iceberg - show them that the top bits are not as robust and impressive as what lies beneath and yet recognise that the salty seas can erode that greatness if left unchecked.

My philosophy was adopted by my mentor back during my NS days. He told me that "knowledge is power!" Thus, I will try my very best in teaching them what I know and making them know that learning these knowledge from me is just the beginning of their life-long learning journey.

Vinayak said...

My teaching philosophy is based on the following:
I would rather expect my students to know something about everything that exists rather than know everything about one particular thing. I believe learning is a life-long process. Not even subject-matter experts are complete Masters of their areas, for always there is something new happening and developing. The World doesn't wait for us to know everything about one thing, neither it is practically impossible to claim that I am a complete Master of one issue/ matter. We are all learning every single day. In that sense, it is wiser and smarter to keep ourselves informed something about everything so that we are not left out on any particular stand. Also such idea, would rekindle the mind to newer innovations and research-centred questions which may result in a newer discoveries and histories to be born.

Anonymous said...

My teaching philosophy: every student has the potential to become the best in what he/she was created (also a bit of religious philosophy here)to be i.e. even if he or she does not seem to excel in one area, I must believe that the students can be the best in his/her talents/gifts and thus not give up hope on him/her or write him/her off. It is important to also build on students' prior knowledge i.e. make things relatable to students. I would also like to adopt the "teach less, learn more" philosophy, but am still in the midst of trying to figure out how to implement it effectively.

I belief a good attitude learning heart is more important then all the 'A' on paper.

I have encounter many kid who concern about their grade and forgotten the joy of learning. they learn for exam. But does our system allow the students to explore on the things they learn? or do we stuff them before they finished chewing their food.

Tan Tuan Lin said...

My Teaching Philosophy is "Let's learn together". Sciences are so broad and ever-changing. We should not have the constricted mindset that we know everything and allow the students to explore (instead of bogging them with hard and fast rules and theories). Who knows they might come up with some nobel prize winning ideas. I also believe in "Lead by Example" - If I can do it you all surely can. This is something the army really taught me.

Melvin Lim said...

My teaching philosophy is "love what you learnt, have fun with what you learnt and enjoy with what you learnt". I believe that anyone who wants to learn well in any subject/ topic must first like what they are doing, and the learning can only be then effective. Next is to be creative with what they have learnt, look at it from multiple point of view, have fun learning it and broadening the knowledge. Lastly is to enjoy the outcome of the mastery in the topic by applying the knowledge in daily activities, or for a specific application and developed a sense of achievement for their accomplishment.

My teaching philosophy:
- Accept every student for who they are. Treat them as young adults who are able to behave responsibly and think independently, though they may not have developed those abilities.
- Facilitate their learning and encourage them to keep an open and inquisitive mind. Develop activities that allow students to explore and discover.
- Be a good example (as best as I could, anyway) to my students.

Rudy said...

My teaching philosophy is to equip the students with an engineering instinct when solving problem.

How I come about this statement is that when the students are solving some engineering problems, the final answers can be so unrealistic (e.g. a few metres of beam deflection) and yet some did not manage to detect their error. So I wish to instill this instinct to the students as a form of self check.

Chiang Teik Weng said...

As a teacher, I do my best to give students a good foundation in the subject. However, the aim is that they can be independent, i.e. in future they can just pick up a book or go on to the internet to search for the answer they need.

Lynn Zhuo said...

This is difficult for me. I feel like I am too new to come up with a teaching philosophy. That, I think is for veterens who have been in the industry for a long time. Having said that, I can probably apply some of my life's values into teaching:

Everyone is entitled to his or her own view. What is applicable for me may not be applicable for another. As an educator, what I could do is to share with them. That is different from coercing them to apply my method / knowledge. I have to stick to the content (as part of the order of society), but if possible, I would let them voice their thoughts in class. Train them to be thinkers who have their own minds. Let them make a conscientious choice, even if their choice is to follow another, its not a wrong choice.

I think education is about cultivating:

Lee Martin:

My teaching philosophy is that to evaluate whether teaching methods are effective or not we must consider the evidence. I do not subscribe to the school of thought that says we must abandon the “sage on a stage” approach completely and make everything problem-based instructional or that students must find all the answers on their own. Learning is about getting knowledge into your brain and building links in order to analyse, derive new knowledge from the connections, and apply the outcome to new applications. I believe there is a high degree of science in optimising that process. Which teaching techniques and methods are most effective is determined based on evidence.

Chew Boon Seng said...

My statement will be:
"There is much for me to learn from students as they have much to learn from me."
No one is born perfect and the world is ever changing. For every lesson taught to students, there is always something that teachers can pick up to improve themselves whether in pedagogy, communication...e.t.c. The more the more the teacher get to learn from the students, the more you can teach your students.

Roger Low said...

As for now, my teaching belief is for students to not only be effective in their chosen careers, but also to have them continue discovering and learning effectively. I also hope for every single one of them to be a respectful and purposeful human being who would influence others to be so as well. Why? Our world needs more heart, if that even has to be justified!

I believe that success is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration, which means that talent is only a tiny portion of what makes a student successful. What is much more important is hard work - to "embrace the grind" as they say.

My personal teaching philosophy is to be like a manager or mentor, rather than a lecturer. Our role is to try and simulate real world industry experience as closely as possible. I'm not here to babysit or coddle, nor am I hear to discipline or humiliate. My job is to get the best out of them, whatever that may be, not because they're afraid of failing, but because they're in love with success.

Carlson Chong, CLS said...

The teaching philosophy that I would suggest is - to ensure teaching achieves the following objectives 1) transfer of knowledge to the students, 2) engagement of students' attention and interest in the content and subject, 3) cultivation of good attitude in learning, which students can ultimately apply in everything else they need to learn.
