TEACHING PHILOSOPHY: H.I.S.T.
HUMOR
As a teacher in the 20th century, I find that arousing students’ interest in studying history is a prerequisite. By using diversified teaching methodologies such as gamification, story-telling, and self-made explainer animations in class, lessons become more vivid and astonishing. When students’ learning incentive is enhanced, they will take the initiative to solve problems and ask questions in lessons. Therefore, I see humor as the first and foremost element in history lessons.
INNOVATION
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, online teaching has become a trend but it is not capitalized. Many students think the lessons are boring. By using different stunning e-learning apps such as Kahoot!, Mentimeter, I can create a more direct interaction with students, exchanging our opinions and thoughts. Thus, students are not passive learners, but active learners, dominating the learning progress by themselves.
SCHOLASTICISM
History is a discipline that cultivates critical thinking and multiple perspectives. Hence, I will distribute different perspectives of historiographic authors to students, stirring their discussion and debate. Under such activities, they can fully understand views of different stakeholders and establish their own perspectives by logical reasoning and independent thinking. Moreover, learning history should go beyond the classroom. I will take students to visit different communities, recognizing the historical connection between the past and present. Thus, students can further understand how history affects modern culture, society and communities.
TENACITY
In a class of thirty to forty, there is learning diversity and as a teacher, I should always cater to different learning needs. If some students cannot grasp an idea clearly, different teaching methods will be utilized to suit the learning capability of students. Extra tutorials will be given to students in order to help them solve perplexities in their learning journey. I believe that every student is talented and capable, provided that there is a suitable teaching method which optimizes their potentialities.
