Overview and Outcomes of my Teaching Practise

My teaching practise was a great journey to develop my pedagogical competences in many areas, the duration of the teaching practise was last for over five months from 7.10.2015-11.3.2016. Such a lengthy period, there were many learning steps getting me up to the deeper understanding of the students and learning environment through observation, counselling and teachings.  In addition to that, I enhanced pedagogical methods and knowledge for teaching the higher level of education in the real world of work.

My teaching practise was taken place at Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences in Pasila campus in Helsinki. The teaching practise subject belongs to the degree program of Business Information Technology. My decision for choosing the Haaga-Helia’s Pasila campus was because they met such a qualification to fulfill the teaching practise contract, for instance, they have pedagogically qualified teachers, courses lectured in English with international students, and also the institution has my interesting ICT subjects like Big Data.

The director of the degree program had very open-minded for undertaking me to their organization and arranged all the necessary work for smoothly starting with guiding teachers. My selection was going forward with two courses, one was Customer Relationship Management and the other course was Multicultural Teamwork. Both of courses' senior lectures supported me with the professional manner and dedicated their precious time and effort for me to learn in their classroom teaching environment and offered me to teach the subjects in most favourable manner and positive circumstances. Although it was quite long period of process to complete the teaching practise, our collaboration of work progressed well pro-actively and constantly from the beginning to end of the whole process of the teaching practise; planning, execution, feedback and evaluation.

As a result of the teaching practise, I have strengthened my competences in the following areas:

• Pedagogical competences in planning and implementation, developing teaching, and using ICT technology in teaching.

• Competence in value integration not only Ethical value but also Sustainability, Global and Multicultural teamwork, Entrepreneurship values integrated in my teachings.

• Competence in the world of work, I as a ICT professional worked for various international business projects, I have a high level of world of work competences which has been utilized and applied into the teaching and counselling the international students.
