My Philosophy of Teaching and Learning ()
Abstract
The journey of teaching and learning is continuous and lifelong. It is
not only limited to what we learn in classroom settings but it is beyond that
level. In this educational journey, teacher possesses a major role in building
student’s personality. By knowing that each learner has different strengths
with different learning needs, it is the responsibility of a teacher to
facilitate student in gaining knowledge, skills, and critical thinking by
implementing various innovative strategies. Moreover, the positive and
conducive environment along with teachers support creates a good milieu for
student’s lifelong learning. This paper addresses my teaching and learning philosophy
under the perspective of student, teacher, learning environment, and teaching
learning process.
