| Teaching Philosophy: | ||||
| I believe that knowledge is constructed, not imparted. A good teacher will not tell answers to students directly but giving some guidance to let students explore and construct their own understanding. With science education, children can be encouraged to achieve more through hands-on experiments. During experiments, there are always time for questions and discussions. This allows strong interaction between student and teacher, and among the students themselves. Hence, the learning process becomes student-centered rather than teacher-centered. Science education is an essential part of children’s education. It helps develop their practical, critical-thinking and analytical skills, which are valuable foundations for their future study. | ||||
