MY PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Since now I am studying at master's degree level, I want nothing more than to graduate my master's degree as soon as possible, for I am very looking forward to having a job as a professional science educator at university level. I continued my master's studies straight away after I finished my undergraduate studies. Thanks to Allah who made my dream to further postgraduate studies just after completing my undergraduate studies finally came true; and may He make my next mission; which is to graduate in the year of 2011 become a reality.
I am very dedicated to improving my English communication skills which is a medium of instruction in science education. I wish one day I can speak very fluent in English language, and also can write in a professional way in English. In terms of teaching career, I am very looking forward to learn more about science in education field; especially in research studies and science process skills studies. I think now I am finally found my passion in science education field; I want to be an expert instructor in science process skills which is I wish that subject would be my expert in my career. I want to dig more knowledge and skills in that field.
In the classroom, I hope I will not spoon-feed my students with the factual information or solely the contents. In that way I think my students will appreciate to whatever skills or knowledge they gained. Thus, my main theme of teaching & learning in my class would be in the constructivist way. I believe every student is not like the empty vessel but these people bring along their own ideas, prior knowledge and past experiences to my class. As I consider my self as a creative person, I want my students to think in the creative and critical ways. Emphasizing on student centered learning strategies, I will help my students to explore and develop their various skills into good use. As a result, they will find out what they're really good in.
