My philosophy regarding teaching learning process revolves around the profound belief that education is a process of artful doing where teaching learning practice is viewed as design and knowledge is viewed as colors. Teaching learning process must have flexibility. It provides an opportunity to the learners to learn things according to their own interest and requirement. In my view, teaching learning process must encourage students to think critically, search and explore things by themselves instead of being passive recipient of knowledge in class and regurgitate knowledge in the exams. Crucial responsibility of teachers is to inculcate knowledge, wisdom of learning, and prepare students for their actual professional life. I believe that, virtual teaching learning environment enables students to meet the challenges of highly competitive and technological world. Based on my teaching learning philosophy, I can recommend the required change in my immediate surrounding but I believe that without power, authority, and administrative position, it is very challenging to bring about change at a larger level.
