I started my academic teaching career as a school teacher back in my country of birth, Nepal. Then, became college lecture before moving to the UK in 2005. Since 2005, I have been involved in the higher education (HE) practice in the UK in different capabilities, first as a postgraduate student, followed by a research student (PhD), then a post-doctorate researcher and finally a lecturer. I am now involved in delivering a number of undergraduates and postgraduate modules as well as module leader for a postgraduate module on digital image and signal processing (M03CDE). During these years, I have formally involved in three UK universities (Northumbria University, Oxford University and Coventry University). All these years, my involvement …show more content…
In order to prepare the graduate who can deal with the complex problems of the modern age, it is necessary that the graduates are exposed to real-world problem from the very first-year study and taught the transferable skills such as problem-solving, organizational skills and technology skills.
In the report ‘Skills & Demand in Industry 2016 Survey’ by IET (IET 2016) and the institute for employment studies (Connor et al. 2000) clearly indicates that there is a skill gaps in practical skills and engineering employers find it difficult to recruit people with practical skills. Hence, in order to increases the graduates’ employability prospects, there is an emphasis on practical skills development for electrical and electronics engineering from the first year of studies and hence activities led laboratory based learning is emphasised. Enforcing activity-led learning where learner enhances the problem-solving skill by continuous practice of solving unknown real world problem in class and laboratory environments enriches the learning experience (Psillos and Niedderer 2006). In these activity led learning, students are given an instruction of the task to carry out and they work on pair to carry out the task. This tends to enforce students’ learning by seeing, reflecting, reasoning and visualizing as also enforce their communication and teamwork skills. The activity-led learning module tends to be very popular and
I would like to pursue a career in Elementary Education focusing on Kindergarten through second grade. I am going to be the first of my family to achieve a higher level of education after high school. I feel that being born and raised in Mountain Grove has given me values that I want to hold on to for the rest of my life. I have been a nurturing person for as long as I can remember and have strived to be a person that my younger sibling and cousins can look up to in life. I want to be an elementary teacher for many of the following reasons.
Many students come into an engineering program without a strong commitment to stay in an engineering course and to progress with an engineering degree. For students to achieve the puzzling goal of graduating in engineering requires a strong obligation, and behaviors and attitudes to follow through that obligation. To brace the commitment of the freshman engineering students an innovative project has been developed. The project dares students to develop their process to become a "World-Class Engineering Student". Having freshman engineering students design their individually custom-made learning process as part of a semester long project in the setting of a student achievement focused introduction to engineering course or any freshman engineering course will have an important impact on their academic triumph by improving the students’ confidence and motivation to succeed in engineering. This workshop will show participants how to implement the "Design your Process to become a World-Class Engineering Student" into their own introduction to engineering courses. The first year is the most important time for the Engineering Student .In this duration, student has to entirely set up his/her objectives after the exhaustive research like if someone wants to become a quality control engineer in the world level organization for this he should read about the future and scope of his relevant job position by taking the counsel from alumni, teacher or Senior Quality control engineer having
Do you remember your elementary days? Playing outside, building creative fun toys out of big blocks. Maybe even doing something with blocks and learning how to do math. Working with children bring a smile to my face. I volunteer for Edgerton Elementary School during second semester for school to earn my volunteering hours in. Throughout my whole day of school I look forwards to going and volunteering with the first grade class I work with. As stated in an article is states “A career as an elementary school teacher is a good choice for people who value early childhood education and are interested in teaching a broad range of academic subjects.’(Gill) Being an elementary teacher has always been a dream of mines here's a job description, education needed and some obstacles that a elementary teacher would have to go through.
I graduated from George County High School in May of 2013. My freshman year of college I attended South Alabama and struggled terribly. Due to personal issues I transferred to Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, and am now back at South for my junior year. I plan to begin candidacy in the fall of next year and receive my bachelors in Elementary Education. I hope to one day receive my masters and my bachelors in child psychology.
Firstly, as Napoleon Hill once said "It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed", I want to be able to directly provide support for new undergraduates and help them achieve their academic goals as a senior student. As a person who enjoys learning individuals' studying style and discovering different ways of teaching to help others reach their full potential, I believe that there is no job as rewarding as teaching. The satisfying feeling a teaching assistant can gain from helping students who have trouble learning is truly incomparable. Moreover, being a upperclassmanot only do I want share my amazing experience and advice for the new undergraduates but also as many students may feel intimidating to talk to the professors, I want to become a perfect link between the professor and students as well.
What does it mean when someone tell you they want to be a future teacher? Some may think you’re making a mistake; saying teachers don’t make a lot of money or have terrible benefits. Being a future teacher to me isn 't about the money or the benefits, it’s about the satisfaction of seeing a child learn something because of you. When someone tells you they want to be a future doctor it 's because they want to help people, that’s exactly what a teacher does---helps people. Teachers are the stepping stones to any career you want to do, without teachers who would you look towards for guidance on how to do anything in life. Being a teacher is my goal in life and I intend on being the best that I can.
Ideally, when I graduate, I would like to enter the credential program at Cal Poly Pomona. As an English Education major, I feel like this is the next logical step for me as I seek to move forward on my path of becoming a teacher. The opportunities that await me in the credential program truly excite me because I have always found my studies of English Education to be very rewarding and purposeful. I have found this to be especially true now because I am currently in the process of conducting observation hours at local high schools in Pomona as part of my English Education curriculum. When I am in the classroom, I immediately feel a sense of joy, purpose, and productivity. Outside of the classroom, I do have experience teaching as a leader for a club on campus; I am a Woman’s Bible Study Leader for Cal Poly Cru and I have found this experience of teaching college students to be the most exciting, challenging, and rewarding experience I have ever had the pleasure of being a part of. It can become overwhelming as doubts and deadlines tend to sneak in on me from time to time, but I know that being a teacher is worth every ounce of pressure because of the positive impact that a teacher has the ability to make on a student. There is an incredible statistic that states that “On average a teacher affects 3,000 children over the course of their career” (Bickley). This opportunity stirs my heart like nothing else because when I was in high school, I had an incredible teacher named
My decision to be a teacher did not come easily to me. This choice was dependent on a reflection about what I was passionate about and how I could make a difference. I have chosen to become a teacher, as I believe teachers have the ability to provide future generations the stimulation for one of the most significant roles in life; to become a lifelong learner. Many teachers that I have had during my education have had a positive impact on my decision to grow and develop the skills that are fundamental to pursue a successful teaching career. My aim is to be a part of an honorable profession with the optimism that one day I will become an efficacious teacher who can provide future teachers with inspiration, as my teachers have provided for me. Through personal educational experiences and peer-reviewed academic literature, I am able to shape my approach to my pre-service teaching, as it will influence my future practice. As a teacher, there is not just one singular approach to educating students; there is a need for flexibility, diversity, adaptation and reflection.
Ever since I was a young child, I was curious about the past, and how was it like living back in time. I would even imagine myself experiencing living in the past. Eventually, my curiosity developed into an interest in history, as I wanted to have a better knowledge and understanding of the past. Because of this, I decided to set my goals of becoming a teacher, in hopes of being informed in history. However, after mentoring high school students, my goal of becoming a teacher became deeper than history. I concluded that I wanted to work with children and being a teacher would be the perfect place for my passion in working and mentoring to the youth.
I am single and do not have any kids. I am going into teaching because I have always had a desire to work with youth. I have six years of experience working with kids in a variety of settings. I worked at a daycare for two years, volunteered at Iowa Western Community College and the Ellis I. Levitt Boys and Girls Club for a year. I now currently a sub for Grand Prairie Independent School District. This year marks my second year as a substitute teacher in the district. The career path of a teacher has crossed my path many times. I decided last year, after subbing for a year that becoming a teacher has always been a part of my destiny. I plan to be the individual leading educational activities in a classroom setting, addressing disciplinary concerns,
In my job I have observed some of the concepts that I have learned in this course such as I have been introduced to my project manager, so he has gathered the technical skills information from me and analyzed in all perspectives and assigned me to the right project under the supervision of another manager who is dedicated to that project. There I have observed how the
We cannot achieve anything worthwhile in the field of technical education unless or until the theoretical education acquired in the classroom is effectively wedded to its practical approach that is taking place in the modern industries and research institutes. It gives who were associated with our training at Larsen & Toubro Limited.
My career aspirations are to work with, help, and mold students and children as a future educator and ultimately, an administrator. I hope to follow in the footsteps of my mother and keep the tradition alive of being a college graduate and a teacher. As a Hispanic, being a second generation college student and receiving higher education has always been an established priority of mine. As a future high school teacher, I plan to help urban and underprivileged students reach their highest potential. I’d like to somehow participate in changing the stereotypical cycle of discontinued education among these individuals and their families. Living in a diverse community, I’ve witnessed a stigma and cycle of undervaluing
I’ve encountered many challenges in education that began in Elementary School as I struggled with reading at a young age. Extra work at home in the early grades helped me overcome this issue; however, recently divorced parents split six kids across two states which was the beginning of a long and grueling custody battle. Real issues didn’t develop until Middle School as home life spiraled out of control I barely passed eighth grade after completing some last minute work to graduate to High School. High School was brief; I earned my GED while working full time and saving money for the future. On the day my classmates were graduating I packed my car and started my drive to Steamboat Springs, CO. It was there that my education truly began.
With the rapid pace at which things change in the 21st century, one always needs to upgrade or acquire new skills to stay abreast with the ever-changing world of technology. Competition for the few jobs in the industry is keen and I consider the postgraduate diploma programme as the perfect starting point for the next phase of my career. For me, this opportunity is a chance to improve myself and I am resolute in my mind and body for nothing but excellence in this
