What happened (Done)
As a lecturer let me described a situation in which I learned from the students!
Being the the students in one classroom discussion and sharing what they have research in the local industries, one can tell that we learn a lot when we share in groups. My view of thinking that the teacher is superior to the students is altered. As a lecturer we don't normally notice that there a lot of potential ideas/students who can inspire us (lecturers). And yet, if you are to reflect upon what they share in group discussion about what they have research on, one can learn alot from their different research activities.
So, I went home and started reflecting upon the sharings of the day with the students. As I sat at the corridor of the resident, I read through what I have noted from the discussion and I contemplate on what I have learned.
What I have Learned
I think from the description of the situation that happened in the class discussion with the students, I felt that I have learned something. The knowledge part of it that we can learn a lot of ideas from the students by involving them in a group discussion and they share their challenges from the research activitieis that they have performed. The learning that was left with me was the way we share with our students as alecturers and the way we value their/student sharing with us.
The Wise Part for me as a Lecturer!
In my mind, I need to continue involving students in group sharing rather than teaching them on what I/you think is right or the only knowledge. Because I strongly believe that one day at a time they may be lecturers at their various schools and use the same method that they have learned from the University studies. Thus, the concept of student centered-learning may take its shape.
