My Teaching Philosophy

Hello everyone! I believe that most of us have our own teaching philosophy. Today, I would like to share mine.

The teaching passion is one of the single most important components of effective teaching
 as it leads to thorough preparation, continuous evolution of teaching skills, and the
pleasure of watching students learn.  The amount of time that I puts into  preparation
directly translates to how the students learn.  However, I  must be able to recognize how
students learn best at the group and individual level, and let their lesson plans metamorphose as they interact with their students.  The ultimate goal for me is to communicate new information to students, not just memorizing facts, but also to learn how to think.  This process can be made more efficient when both me and the students enjoy what they are covering.  Combined, these aspects allow me to determine how a certain group of students will learn best. one of the efficient learning by students consists of the combination of formal lecture periods, and smaller discussion sections.  

besides, I should practice professionalism such as showing good leadership skills for my students.In my opinion, being an authoritarian will only create a distance between a teacher and a student.As a teacher, I should be able to attend to my students’ personal and academic needs whenever needed.In order to achieve that, I must build strong rapport with my students so that all of us can learn in a conducive and fun environment. Likewise, communication is apparently an important key to an effective teaching and learning process in the academic setting.  students are my main priority and I am aware that each of them has different level of proficiency in Chemistry language. I believe that by creating a student-centered learning, my students will be able to take charge of their own learning with little assistance from the teacher.

Reflection

Now it comes to my reflection. I actually don’t know how to write this but I’m trying to make it simple. This subject is a related with computer subject. This really made me scare because you know, computer is not my field. When it comes to first meeting with lecturer, we have been given a task to create our own blog. That is the most scared me. Frankly speaking, I don’t know how to create a blog. Then with help from the lecturer and friends, I can handle this subject and manage to pass through this semester happily. Before this I know nothing about blogging as the blogging is not the way I express my feeling. I just look to someone else blog to get the info or read some news and tips. But what I’m really amazed now is I have my own blog. I can’t believe this. But it is not easy for me either. I must stay up in the night just to touch up my blog so it will look interesting. And I think it deserve me well..=).. Thanks for helping me friends~..

Artifact

A digital artifact is any undesired alteration in data introduced in a digital process by an involved technique and/or technology. A digital artifact is made by human being with skill and art. Although digital content is produced using technology tools and applications, it is "made with skill" and may result from preparative or investigate procedures. Learner need to be taught both the knowledge and skill required to create high quality "artifact" that can compete against the best in the world. Digital artifact include information prepared or shared in digital forms e.g photos, videos, digitally prepared text, multimedia, databases, websites, presentation, music, e-books, programs, coding and etc.

PoEm FoR TeAcHeR

Here we sit
Hearing you
Explaining the lessons
With the love and with dream
Although you may not realize it
But I can
I know your desire to lead us
With your blessed hand
Into an unseen life bridge


Teacher..
The day maybe dark
But you'll not
Cause you yourself
Is an unshaped light
Holding our hands
Befriending us
Through this darkness
And here we wait


Teacher..
We may have done too much fault
Especially to the person
Befriending us until now
Without feeling dejected
Especially to you
We might have disappointed you
we might have lied to you
And we might never think of you
But you..
You wait us with smile
saying it's all done
And asking  to face the future
Nobody would be
The very best guide I'd ever met
Like you


Teacher..
The road is almost finished
Soon, sun will come
But I'll never forget
I'd ever seen a much more brighter light from you
The one guiding us with love
To reach her own dream
She's my teacher


To all my teachers, words are not enough to thank you for that you've done for me. Wish you

THE SCOPE OF CHEMICAL SCIENCE

Chemistry is too universal and dynamical-changing a subject to be confined to a fixed definition; it might be better to think of chemistry more as a point of view that places its major focus on the structure and properties of substances.

                           
 In some way, physic might be consider more "fundamental" to the extend that it                        deals with matter and energy in a more general way, without the emphasis on
 particular substances. But the distinction can get pretty fuzzy; it is ultimately rather
    futile to confine any aspect of human endeavor to little boxes.

The real importance of chemistry is that it serves at the interface to practically all of the other sciences, as well as to many other areas of human endeavor. For the reason, chemistry is often said ( at least by chemists!) to be the central science.

Chemistry can be "central" in a much more personal way: with a solid
background in Chemistry, you will find it far easier to migrate into other
 fields as you interests develop.

So, just what chemistry?

Periodic Table

The periodic table, also known as Mendeleev's table, is a table of the chemical elements existing on Earth. The Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev is credited with its creation in 1869, although less extensive tables existed before this. He intended to display the patterns apparent in the chemical properties of each element. Since its original creation, new elements have been discovered and added to Mendeleev's initial table.

The structure of the periodic table is very significant. The current table holds 117 elements in a very distinct order for the purpose of showing similarities and differences in chemical properties. Out of all of the elements, 94 are found in nature and the other 24 were synthetically produced with particle accelerators. As well, most copies of the periodic table separate the metal and non-metal elements with a dark stair-step line. The metals are on the left and the non-metals on the right. Additionally, elements are placed in order of increasing atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus of the element's atom. The rows are also organized so that elements with similar properties are found in the same columns. Within each element square, information on the element's symbol, atomic number, atomic mass, electronegativity, electron configuration, and valence numbers can be found. At the bottom of the periodic table is a two row block of elements that contain the lanthanoids and actinides. These groups are classified as inner transitional metals.

The chemical elements classified into groups, periods, and blocks. Groups, also referred to as a families, are the vertical columns located on the periodic table. Groups are considered to be the most significant form of classification. Many groups contain elements with very similar properties and are referred to with special names such as the halogens and alkaline earth metals. Periods are made up of the horizontal rows of the table. Just as groups contain specific trends in similar properties, so do periods. For instance, the d-block contains a row of transition metals. Blocks are important as different regions of the periodic table due to the outer shell of elections within the elements' atoms. Blocks are oriented based on this outer shell. The blocks of the periodic table include the s-block, p-block, d-block, and f-block. Other groupings include poor metals, transitional metals, metalloids, and the platinum group.

The location of elements on the periodic table is extremely important due to the trends of chemical properties in groups and rows. Properties of an element can actually be predicted based on its table location. It is important to remember that trends operate differently when moving vertically and horizontally along the table. Trends within groups are explained by common electron configuration in their valence shells. This also creates likenesses in atomic radius, electronegativity, and ionization energy. From the top of the group to the bottom, atomic radii of the elements increase. Likewise, ionization energy and electronegativity decrease due to electron configuration. Periods also possess similar trends in electronegativity, ionization energy, atomic radii, as well as electron affinity. Moving from the left of the periodic table to the right, atomic radii decreases which causes the ionization energy to increase. As well, moving left to right, electronegativity and electron affinity increase.

Whats interesting about chemistry?

 

Understanding chemistry helps you to understand the world around you. Everything you can touch, taste or smell is a chemical. When you study chemistry, you come to understand a bit about how things work. Chemistry isn't secret knowledge, useless to anyone but not to scientist. It's the explanation for everything, like why laundry detergent works better in hot water, how baking soda works or why not all pain reliever work equally on a headache. If you know some chemistry, you can make educated choices about everyday products that you use.

• The existence of life is based on chemical reaction
• All living cells get energy based on chemical reaction
• All movements and activities are chemical reaction
