Menurut saya:

"An ideal student is one who has a strong sense of intellectual curiosity. I like students who are looking for an intellectual adventure, who have questions rather than answer and are looking for a place where they can explore these questions they have in their minds."

MY TEACHING PHILOSHOPHY

I believe that a good lecturer is characterized as being well organized, well prepared, involved in the subject, friendly, flexible, helpful, creative, clear, sensitive, interested in students, open, systematic and committed.

I share the same view on UiTM Objectives that is: -

“To educate Bumiputeras to become professionals of high caliber who will be independent, knowledgeable and morally upright in the conduct ofcompeting in business, trade, science and technology”

And I agree with UiTM Philosophy that is: -

“A belief that every individuals possesses talents, interest and aptitude, and if well nurtured, educated and trained through an open transfer of knowledge from any culture or civilization in the world, as well as through the transfer and inculcation of Islamic values, would be able to play a role in developing themselves, their society and nation”

It is my firm belief that the study of accounting need not have anything to do with vocational training. 

It can be more like studying art, music and literature to improve the quality of one's life. 

I believe that accounting offers a way of thinking that is different from other ways, and that we are all born with some skill to do so.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE AND REPERTOIRE

I begin my career by lecturing to large groups of my students, 

1. I am able to impart academic knowledge efficiently, 
2. BUT my monologue dissuades my students' individual discussions and interpretations. 

Their personal identities are hidden and their voices silenced in a lecture situation. 

Shifting my teaching strategies 

1. to accommodate different learning styles, 
2. students are encouraged to brainstorm, 
3. students are encouraged to improvise, 
4. students are encouraged to interpret my teaching.

Change My Battle plan

Take time at the beginning of class to 

1. briefly describe the intellectual context of that day's topic
2. describe the discussion to which the book or article contributes, 
3. the question the author is asking, 
4. and the major points of the author's answer to that question. 

The majority of class time is then 

1. devoted to discussion. 
2. during discussions, lecturer is that of helper
3. use lecturer's experience and background to help students understand what they read and to draw out implications of what they say.

Impact

1. promotes active student participation in exercises, 
2. using content to develop skills 
3. challenge students through practices such as cooperative learning.  

Make the students aware that:

1. learning is a highly structured approach that is based on the assumption that cooperation, not competition, among students is the most effective way to teach. 
2. lecturer subscribe to this and invented your own scripts for the classroom.

My take away ......

1.  students learn best when they are active participants in what they are learning. 
2. emphasis is on the development of skills (learning and communication), critical thinking, and self-esteem using the accounting curriculum. 
3. worked with students to improve essay writing skills, which is imperative to communication and the expression of knowledge. 
4. always integrate the latest computer technology with the accounting studies curriculum 

Endnote !

1. Creating a learning environment in which all the participants feel that they are an essential part of a collective effort inspires students to value not only the texts they are studying, but also their own ideas and the learning process itself. 
2. In order to create such an atmosphere, building trust between a lecturer and students, as well as between the students themselves. 
3. By emphasizing that learning is a skill that needs practice just like any other skill, 
4. Strive to make the classroom a place where it is safe for each person, including lecturer, to take risks; where mistakes and frustrations are recognized as part of the growth process;, and where thinking, no matter what form it initially takes, is encouraged and rewarded.
