My Teaching Statement

Why?
The world has entered knowledge-based economics. The workforce in any society must be smart and competent. Such workforce comes out from universities. Therefore, teaching in university plays a vital role in terms of knowledge transfer, knowledge application and knowledge creation. All professors must be at the frontline to demonstrate the excellence in educating undergraduate students as well as postgraduate students.

What?
Professors at university are not only providers of educational services, but also producers of educational products. Hence, all professors must contribute to lectures, tutorials and lab-based hand-on practices. In addition, the process of delivering educational services will give professors the opportunity to undertake innovation of producing better versions of textbooks or lecture notes. In this way, professors themselves will become finest persons on earth in terms of teaching knowledge.

How?
At university level, the primary task of students is not to know how to learn, but to effectively learn knowledge and skills so that they will become smart and competent workforce after graduation. Such goal is achievable with the interplay between learning by students and teaching by professors. In terms of teaching, all professors must demonstrate the ability of making the complex and subtle contents of knowledge into the flows of easily digestible concepts. In addition, the educational process in every course should be built on top of six pillars such as: video-based self-learning, classroom-based interactive learning, experiment-based live learning, enhancement of learners’ applying skills, enhancement of learners’ writing skills, and enhancement of learners’ presenting skills.
