What are 10 ideas in what needs to be changed…
1 – Teacher centered vs. student centered approach to teaching
2 – Move away from mechanical learning
3 – Integrate critical thinking into the learning/teaching process
4 – Include technology into the learning/teaching process
5 – Balance of theory vs. practicality in the learning/teaching process
6 – Cross-cultural awareness among students and teachers, i.e. include it in the learning/teaching process
7 – Teacher’s preparation time, general conditions and facilities, means needs improvement
8 – Adaptability to all sorts of ages, classes, students, teachers, environments
9 – Feedback on the learning/teaching process among all
10- Move away from the ONLY money-oriented approach of teachers and learners, toward passion, spirit, heart, knowledge
I hope we see #10 as the title at a conference soon!
