Knowledge is far more valuable when shared with society. Thus teaching become
especially important because it imparts knowledge to others. During my study as a
high school student, an undergraduate, a graduate, I have always admired those school teachers and university professors who excelled at conveying their knowledge unto me. These teachers and professors have encouraged me to pursue a life-long career in teaching and research. Now that I am equipped with the knowledge of Life science as well as research experience in the field of ribosomal structural biology, I am eager for a teaching opportunity to share what I have learned and to inspire young and fresh minds.
Teaching responsibility should go beyond just sharing knowledge. There are other
critical responsibilities such as helping students form habits of critical thinking and
developing the ability to discover new things by themselves. One simple way of
achieving these is to provide “inspiring hints”, rather than direct answers, to their
questions. This can be usually done by responding to students’ questions with helpful
hints, just pointing them in the right direction rather than giving them the final
answer. These hints would lead students to think through their problem and finally
figure out the correct answer for themselves. This simple method also helps students
how to approach problems, helps them understand the answers better, and more
importantly, it builds up confidence in themselves to discover the solutions on their
own.
