my teaching philosophy

Education is a process involves educating and teaching. The term educate means to develop the knowledge, skills or characters. Generally, from the aspects of education it can be divided into two scopes which are “educare” (latih) and “educere”(didik). These two terms carry different meaning on itself. Educare is a process that are related to the skills of human and are limited. While for the educere, it’s more on the knowledge and are continous along the life. Therefore, learning is always be refer as a long life journey. Some of us has taught that teaching is just such an easier work to be done. But, how many people realized that teaching is not just deliver the knowledge to the students, but it’s more on how the teachers need to do in order to produce a product of human with good quality. For my opinion, i think that a successful teacher is not only going to the class and will stop teaching once its time comes to stop. Planning the lesson is the first things that teacher should do. During planning the lessons, the teachers need to consider their students ability. As for me, im sure that all of my students are unique, since they are born with the different abilities. So, as their teachers, i should used different methods of teaching and learning process. By this way, i will make sure that all of my students can get what i taught to them. Besides that, i also need to be mentally prepared when it comes to have a problematic students. Having problematic students is a challenge to the teacher’s career. This challenges can be settle out as the teachers being professional to handle with it. For those students, what the teachers should do is to give a help and try to motivate them up and not to make they feel down. The true meaning succeess in teacher’s profession is when the teachers can manipulate the student’s behaviour from worst to better human in life.

"The only purpose of education is to teach a student how to live his life—by developing his mind and equipping him to deal with reality. The training he needs is theoretical, i.e., conceptual. He has to be taught to think, to understand, to integrate, to prove. He has to be taught the essentials of the knowledge discovered in the past—and he has to be equipped to acquire further knowledge by his own effort." ~Ayn Rand
