principles I found scientific in terms of my own future teaching practice and professional development.


Warsaw University, Poland. 2019.

Discuss analyse the learning points/ concepts/ principles I found scientific in terms of my own future teaching practice and professional development.
 What we do mean by learning? What happens in learning situations? What we need for learning? The definition of learning can be simple and complicated at the same time, it can be simple if we define it as a way of acquiring hidden or unknown knowledge.
Sometimes it can be more complicated if you look at the details of this involves the activation of multiple elements to comprehend rules and principles, understand relationships among various entities and solve problems. It differs from simple learning in that it requires a high level of mental effort. For example, learning vocabulary is a simple learning process because the elements of the material learned do not interact with each other, the mental effort involved in simple learning is low.
However, if the learning involves syntax, the elements of information that must learn, it may be difficult to assimilate because it cannot be  gained in isolation. In this case, learning gets complicated which requires high level of mental effort due to its high degree of element interactivity. For me learning like planting flowers, a seed is planted in my mind, which I nurture with water and sun in the faith that it will sprout and grow. Alternatively, peeling an onion, when I peel off a layer, which reveals the next layer to peel off. Each time something tells me I am getting closer to the core of the matter.
What happens in a learning situation is the four- season climate. Sometimes it goes smoothly like sunny day, other times stormy when learners can’t get a new knowledge or when the teacher doesn't has the proper way to deliver the knowledge. If we talk about learning, we must talk about teaching, because learning itself never happen without teaching elements such as  Teacher, materials, environments, teaching and learning strategies as they play significant roles in developing learning process.  
Some teachers taught the curriculum today, other teachers taught students today and there is a big difference. I would taught syllabus and students today and includes additional activities from internet that learners may need to understand crucial concepts. I have learned that four language skills (reading, writing, speaking, and listening) must be professionally delivered to the students, and as a professional teacher I would be facilitate them through the techniques I have learned in the university such as warming up, brain storm, group working. Pair work, besides help learners to develop their logical thinking when they learn six hat concepts.
 If you teach young learners, your goal must be increasing the level of their knowledge, make them read, read as much as they could, build confidence and let them believe strongly that everything is possible and they can learn anything they want, even if it was challenging. If you do not do that, it may destroy their learning motivation.
 John W. Gardner addressed that much education today is monumentally ineffective. All too often, we are giving young people cut flowers when we should teaching them to grow their own plants.
 I will not give the students tools to cut flowers; I would like to guide them finding the resources for their plants.  As a good teacher I found myself  the architect and builder of a nation and generation.
my main asset of the human society, nation or a country for disseminating humanity by process of teaching, in my opinion I would be concentrating on the most useful qualities, and these are; technical know- how or skillful, educative instead of mere career orientated, advanced knowledge, changing methods or flexibility, historian, enjoyment of duty, relation instead of instruction minded.
