Teaching Philosophy

  • My basic educational approach

Being an Indian and grown with a healthy “Guru-Shishya Parampara”, the excellent relation between the student and teacher, I follow the Indian tradition of teaching and interaction with the students. This has been creating a healthy teaching and research atmosphere and resulting in good performance by students. I also use the modern teaching aids and introduce the latest trend of the research work to make my students up-to-date. 

  • How I work with the development of student learning

A student learns very fast if the topic is interesting and related with his goal. A presentation using pictures, videos, and simulations helps to increase the subject understanding. Therefore, while preparing a PPT file for lecture, I use pictures, diagrams, simulations, etc. to explain the subject. I always correlate the topic with the student’s objective.  

  • How I work with the development of my own learning

Learning is a lifelong process.  Self-learning is required for a teacher/ research scholar for updating himself as per the society/ scientific need. I keep myself updated using literature survey through the Web of Science and the SciFinder. I use Endnote to store the searched data. I also use pdf files for reading.    

  • How I contribute to the organizational development of my institution

An educational institute can be improved by hiring teachers, who are good in both teaching and research. The research helps to develop state-of-the-art devices for the society and brings funding in the Institution. Students learn new techniques and get hired by companies. As mentioned earlier, teaching helps a student to learn a topic fast. Because of my teaching capability and energy-based research experience, I will be able to fetch funding easily and produce energy-based skilled students.      

  • I have knowledge of contemporary teaching practices and experience in testing/ assessment, quality assurance and standards for accreditation, e-learning, and curriculum/ materials design and development.
