Teaching should be interactive and engaging with both the learner(s) and the teacher. Effective teaching happens when the receiver(s) is/are able to get the message of the teacher and take it further for personal development. Hence teaching is a means for ideas sharing and the process is not always smooth. Deliberate efforts are needed to make it meaningful and effective to yield the intended outcomes.
The aim of teaching is to share ideas and to make an impact both short-term and long-term. The key is to stimulate further and continuing learning.Teaching should be an interactive and engaging both with receivers/learners and the teachers. It is a means for communication and is not always smooth. To yield the intended outcomes, deliberate efforts are needed. For example, different target groups requires different modes of delivery.
I am enthusiastic in conducting research studies on the following areas: intercultural and diversity, immigrant and minority education, spiritual well-being and life satisfaction, pedagogical strategies and curriculum integration.
