Teaching
{“If You are planning for a year, sow rice; if you are planning for a decade, plant trees; if you are planning for a lifetime, educate people”}
My pedagogical philosophy is strongly influenced by Hans Aebli's problem-based construction. I believe in constantly evolving my teaching practices, and learning more about it. My recent endeavour to improve my teaching-learning knowledge and skills is Graduate Certificate of Higher Education at the Deakin University. I was granted the Advance HE Fellowship (FHEA) in 2022.
