Currently, I lecture both theoretical and practical medical subjects. In small groups, I teach Problem-Based Learning (PBL) for theoretical subjects and Skills Laboratory as practical one. Whereas in large classes, I assist one of the lectures in Elective Block. As an engineering educator, I maintain my teaching roles as:
1.Motivator
Dreams need a helping hand. As a teacher, I feel responsible to motivate learners. I energize students’ spirit when they fail, guide and coach them in achieving their dreams. Students should be given an understanding that no goals can be achieved without putting any efforts. Conversely, learning is built with frequent exposure and practising.
- Mentor
As a mentor, I am alert to students’ aptitude and learning styles. This allows me to nurture their development and heighten their enthusiasm. To do this, I use inspiring quotations to pump out the students’ mood. Consequently, not only they enjoy the class, but also love the lessons. Quality time, a form of dedication, is highly important for both of us. - Role model
“Our words and actions create our own world”. This motto keeps me to provide positive reinforcement for students continually. As a role model, I realize that there is a hidden curriculum that I have to nourish in students’ performance, particularly: attitude, communication skills, and social awareness. I do hope that my words and actions can inspire students to value other people’s lives, including patients’ lives. Encouraging learners to see all subjects holistically is equally important, thereby they will have a capability in making wise decision
