- 2. Teaching philosophy
As professorial faculty member my duty is to create an environment that provides experiences that foster personal insights and a rich understanding of the resource material with cases, exercises, and projects that:
– encourage the spirit of inquiry,
– encourage students to differentiate between data and knowledge,
– encourage students to interact with people in the real world,
– encourage students to address real-world challenges, and
– encourage students to reflect on their own perceptions, values, behavior, and experiences.
– after all student centered and empowerments is the final outcome of OBE. My educational philosophy and methodology may be reflected in the following statements:
- Professors should be “educational architects. The essence of teaching is “creating an environment that facilitates learning.”
- Teaching needs to be viewed from a broader perspective than just a professor lecturing to a group of students. Teaching in its truest form goes beyond “teaching” a course … it involves developing each student’s ability to deal with the challenges of a very different and ever-changing world. I spend a lot of time in my classes addressing both qualitative and analytics related issues. I encourage my students to take a close look at their values, how they see the world, and the proactive role they should play after graduation. I encourage my students to adopt a global perspective, to recognize the value in cultural diversity, to exhibit the highest ethical standards, and to enhance the quality of life for society.
- If students are not learning, then the professor needs to accept the responsibility for it.
Someone once observed, “It’s never a matter of apathy … it’s always an issue of relevance!”
- Education is not just about covering the material provided in textbooks … it should also be seen as a “set of experiences.” Experiential learning provides greater insights and longer retention than textbook chapters and fifty-minute lectures. Students learn better and retain the material longer when they can experience it first hand. If we want our students to learn about the realities of an ever-changing world, then we must create “Universities without walls.”
- The path to gaining respect from one’s students is quite different from the path that leads to popularity. I would rather give my students challenging work and have high expectations even if it may produce lower SPOT scores than professors who seek to entertain or who do not challenge their students’ ability to think, to write, and to reflect on the role they can play in our society. I believe a professor can have high expectations and still have a genuine concern for his/her students. I believe that the professor should set the example for professionalism and responsibility. I engage my students in lively discussions, but I also treat them with respect. I believe that if you treat students as adults, then they will respond as adults. I do not use “teaching by fear” tactics. There are ways to encourage daily preparation, class participation, and doing quality work that do not require harassing students in class, using pop quizzes, and reading students the riot act. For example, I give my introductory students the opportunity to have their term papers graded with suggestions for improvement if they turn their papers in two weeks ahead of schedule. I try to return all course work (exams, term papers, regular assignments, etc.) by the next class period. I guarantee one-week turnaround for all their work.
- Excellence in teaching is not a destination … it is a never-ending journey. Teaching should include the concepts associated with continuous improvement. Professors should seek opportunities to observe other faculty and learn about their approaches to engaging students in and outside the classroom. They should also ask other faculty to observe their classes and to suggest ways to improve. Faculty should also welcome their students’ comments about how they can learn better. Teaching should also be viewed as a series of experiments. Professors should always be experimenting new ways to foster learning and student development in and outside the classroom. Some of the experiments may not produce the desired outcomes. The quest for improvement rarely goes without a few “exercises in humility.” Each experiment should be viewed as a “learning opportunity.” Ironically, some of my experiments have led to other experiments that provided significant learning value. I spend as much time interacting with people in business as I do with my colleagues on campus to foster my own continuous improvement. I have to know what is going on in the business world and have the opportunity to learn from practitioners.
- We don’t teach “a class of students” … we teach “a set of unique individuals.” I meet with each of my introductory students on a one-on-one basis during the first month of each semester.
- People can’t lead others unless they first can lead themselves. I encourage my students to take responsibility for their actions and hold them accountable for their performance.
- The professor should be a “partner” and a “perpetual student” in the learning process. Learning can flow from the professor to the students and the students to the professor!
- Research and teaching can go hand in hand. A large number of my articles have been published in national and international journals. Being at the leading edge of certain fields insures that my students are learning concepts and approaches that will help them get good jobs and be valuable additions to any organization. All my books were written to fill voids that were evident in existing textbooks and trade publications.
