If you want to be a teacher, you may be a graduate from the normal university or insitute.
If you are a graduate of common insitute or a accumulative university, you will lack the knowledge to be a teacher.
Since teaching is a career that will affect many people for the time of one whole life, so you must be careful and manage to get training on education.
Now I am attending such a training class which will last about one month!
Some teachers for this class are good enough to teach our teachers, some are not, but they successfully provided us a wrong model or a lesson, and let me know what are bad habits of teaching students.
This afternoon Prof. Chen Xiaoduan of Shann'xi Normal University(SNU) came to give us a class on "Effective teaching with worldwide views"(I can not remember clearly since I take no note at the meeting), in the class he displayed his knowledge in his profession, how to attract students, what kind of teaching methods you can select, from the class I can see that he is a master in his own profession, after years of research on education, he gets a continuous and logical thinking way, and a clear tone, and a calm attitude with the head running fast all the time!
Frome the speech, I learned several points below:
1 You can choose to be a scholar teacher, or profession teacher, or learning teacher, in my mind, I want to be a teacher of scholar and research, without knowledge of your field, how can you teach your students and intrigue their full interests?
2 Keep a clear tone: each word spelled out from your mouth should be clear, the speaking speed need not to be fast, just medium and proper to let students get you.
3 Focus your eyelight on your students. Your cannot read your powerpoint as long as five minutes, otherwise the audience will turn attention and do some other things unrelative to the present topic.
4 Five kinds of abilities should be cultivated, not the old four, they are respectively listeing, speaking,reading, writing and doing. Each kind of ability is useful and important to you, as a teacher!
In the medium relax time, I told Prof. Chen that I admired him that he has made such deep research in the field of education, and if we want to master or learn something from his speech, we should apply his introduction to our real teaching practice, and repeatedly thinking over and practising them!
I am very luchy to meet such "cowman" professor in this training class which I had not wanted to take part in, now I change my mind, I love this class!
