Learning
In my point of view, learning is a simple word, but it contains much
meaning to me. Learning is the knowledge that we get around us: it can
be from friends, family, social media, TV, and newspapers. Learning gives
people chance to become with an open mind for new things in life . As
students every day they learn new things from a variety of the subjects
that they take .The experiences in life give me the chance to become
stronger and find solutions for any situations in my life. Learning is also
not confined to only lectures but also through practice. For example, in
each semester we do teaching practice which is useful for us because we
are inside class teaching and dealing with students. Learning is not
confined to a certain age or gender. Anybody can learn whether they are
.children or older, men or women
Assessment
I think that tests only measure the students understanding the lessons by
giving them marks, but this is not truth. As we work and study in HCT the
five competencies, the fourth competency which is " Using different types
of assessment " (HCT teaching practice, 2017).This guides me how it is
essential for using various types of assessments to check the students
understanding. The assessment could be during the lessons, at the end of
a unit, the semester or year. For example, during my previous teaching
practice I used formative assessment to check student understanding
through the activities that I applied in the lessons and the questions that I
asked them. Therefore, I think that assessment is extremely important in
teaching because how will I know my students learning process going on
.and what area that I need to work on it to improve my student's skills
The technology
I believe that using technology is important because it affects the
methods of teaching in the classes and the students performance.
Previously, teachers used the boards or books, and there was no devices
or types of equipment. Nowadays, they provide smart boards, data shows,
and computers. It facilities the teachers in work and prepare their lessons.
In my teaching experience, I used different devices which help me in
explaining my lessons such as data show, laptop, and iPad. For example,
during my last teaching practice, I had a lesson about animals, I used an
app that called the sound of the animals, and the students were
interactive with the app and me. Moreover, using technology in the
classroom makes the learning more fun especially when the students have
an annoying or not interest in some subjects. It can become more
attractive with showing them videos, pictures or games (Cox,2009) So,
using technology in the classes affects the performances of the students
Conclusion
In conclusion, in my teaching philosophy, I mention five aspects which are
the education in general and link it to UAE Vision 2021, the learning,
.assessment, technology and applying effective strategies and activities
