“MY PEDAGOGY”

My teaching methods, style and educational philosophy strongly relates to self- actualization (Maslow’s highest theory of hierarchy needs). Those that teach, often acquire a deep passion for teaching. And those that teach are usually loyal and committed to teaching and motivating students toward reaching self-actualization.

Most students fail because of low or no self-esteem. Because of this, they can never reach self-actualization. Therefore, as teachers / instructors / trainers/ educators, we can make a difference. Whether in a classroom or in an Online learning environment, we become coaches, mentors and role models for students throughout their lives. Since education is one of the most important parts of their lives, practical, theoretical, and experiential learning will always be an ongoing process. With this in mind, we must continue to find ways to encourage and motivate students to reach self-actualization throughout their academic and professional endeavors.

My teaching philosophy is to relate with students, so that I can motivate students, thus, allowing me to educate them. From my teaching experiences, I strongly feel this is a very important teaching philosophy. Why? Because all students find it easier to learn when they like learning, rather than being forced to like what they have to learn.

- - “Students learn what they like and resist learning what they don’t like.” - -

“Interactive Learning - Motivate them to Educate them.”
