In the world of teaching there are many challenges and
experiences that can increase different kinds of learning process. In teaching
the teacher must focus on the creativity in teaching and disregarding the image
of being teacher centered. Teaching also gives life learning for the student in
more unique and desirable ways of understanding about the lesson.
In my case as mentor in a small group ages 35 to 40 years
old, one thing I learned is how to handle my lesson and communicate it well
through different kinds of process that they can easily understand and they
will enjoy it. My methods of teaching are retainable to my class and with their
participation. I must encourage critical thinking and making meaning on each
method. And one thing which is best, it creates a collaborative environment
which means there is “freedom of learning”.
However, for me as beginner in the field of teaching I have encounter
lots of challenges. First, on how to become creative; making training aids and being
resourceful in finding related video clips that can add to their learning.
Second, how to use the correct methods that is retainable and life learning to
the student. Lastly as Christian educator, my teaching must saw first on life
testimony. As they said, “What you talk must be your walk”.
