I find training students’ minds on how to think always yields better learning results compared to only teaching the facts. Students need to learn concrete knowledge, but they also need to learn how to be independent thinkers. I believe it is the educator’s duty to teach college students not only the established knowledge, but also the methods to independently think and approach problems.

Having experienced both instructive and engaging teaching styles as a student, I discovered that when students are interested, engaged, and motivated, they will actively study the material and their understanding will be enhanced. I believe this objective can be achieved through two methods: (1) understanding and respecting each student’s background and (2) infusing innovative activities to foster high engagement levels.

Putting abstract concepts into real-world problems that students are familiar with can effectively prompt them to think and explore the concepts, which ultimately facilitates learning. When students have a concrete setting of real-world problems, I found that they understood the underlying concept of the formula better, and were better able to apply it to other settings.
