Question:

Enclose your valuable comments on how to use different philosophies in your teaching
styles. Explain your answer with suitable examples.
Answer:

If you seek a career as an academic, ideally you should begin to

articulate your teaching philosophy in graduate school. The
sooner you start thinking about your teaching philosophy, the
easier it is to formulate a statement when you need it. Once you
have articulated your beliefs and practices as an instructor, it is
far easier to jot down relevant examples of your teaching
strategies and successes as you go. Don’t leave it until the time
when a polished teaching philosophy statement is needed.

Over the years, keep a file of

▪ how you enact your teaching beliefs in your courses

▪ how your thinking about your teaching practices has
evolved
▪ what you have done to change or enhance your teaching
practices
▪ what new innovations you have incorporated into your
teaching.
With this file at hand, it will be a much easier job to pull together
or revise your teaching philosophy statement, and include
examples to illustrate how you translate your teaching philosophy
into effective classroom practices that facilitate student learning.
