Tama ba na kinukuha agad na magturo ang mga newly grads?

[uptowngirl]

Some universities, allow their newly grads to teach undergraduate courses, especially those who'll be reviewing for their board exams. Do you think this practice should be continued? Why or why not?

[Assassin_Mage]

Frankly, i think it should be discontinued.
Because what you learn inside the classroom is not necessarily what is in the real world.

Most studes only get theoretics. although you have OJT etc, it is still theoretics.
Unless you step out into the real world, you will not experience the implementation of those theories.

it is kinda like the blind leading the blind. get the drift?

[tRiStAn]

sa HS and GS ok lang. sa college? i think they need to take masters degrees first.

[fridoh]

Its ok BUT the grad must be exceptionally good and they're only teaching lower subjects.
Advantage: they can relate more with their studes and they know more about the current trend in theit particular field. Some old professors aren't catching up with these trends.

I think they should be allowed to teach but they should take up some courses in teaching first. They may be knowledgeable about the subject but they may not be able to teach it well.

[Jennifer]

I don't think they should. But then again, maybe they could, it just depends...[ang labo ng sagot ko :D]

Well if they are qualified, why not.

Usually newly grad applicants are recommended by their professors so I don't think there's anything wrong with them being hired especially if the Newly grad is competent, knowledgeable and with a real impressive transcript/resume.

[G.ice]

actually it really depends naman sa person eh... not really how old or experienced one is in the field. tingnan na lang natin there are a lot of incompetent teachers who have been teaching for a long time. or there are those who are ok naman but the thing is with the passing of time medyo nawawala na ang kanilang touch. and one thing about fresh grads is that they more or less know how to approach the students because the age gap is not that far.

[Ira]

I find that age and inexperience is not so much a hindrance compared to lack of talent and rapport in teaching. If an instructor would study his materials enough, he could teach the basic college courses well. Experience is a big plus, but it's not always superior to enthusiasm and love for the job. I've had teachers who have multiple degrees and extensive work experiences, but they couldn't get their ideas across because they were either indifferent to what they were doing, or they just didn't know how to teach. I ended up not really learning from these people. Give me a new graduate who knows his stuff and loves teaching anytime.

anong mali dito? may kakilala nga ako ng may doctorate degree na pero hindi pa rin marunong magturo eh. what's the diff? http://www.pinoyexchange.com/lol.gif

[_Mase_]

Right on. In other words...UGH.

I totally agree with Doc Ira.

[kesler]

I believe that the practice of letting fresh graduates teach is alright and should if possible be continued. I think if you were able to finish a degree like for example Literature or Philosophy you could teach atleast the basic courses offered by your department because by the time you are able to finish a degree the department must have already checked that you could "juggle" with the KEY concepts that you should know as a major. And thus if you are capable of doing so i guess there is no harm in teaching the basic subjects. More often than not young teachers are usually better off in communicating their ideas to the students and the students wouldnt feel much of a gap between them. However I also believe that it really depends on the person if he/she could handle a class, prepare the necessary lesson plans etc.

hmmmm :) siguro mag-observe muna sila :)

[adlaw]

i'd say 1.) at least a master's degree and 2.) a talent for teaching should be minimun requirements to teach in college. in other words, our universities should select from a pool of post-grad graduates and then select one who can teach well. knowledge plus the love for teaching should be pre-requisites.

[rors]

hard to answer. some people are just born to be teachers. they may not be really exceptionally intelligent but they have their ways of conveying their thoughts efficiently to students, even though they're new grads. on the other hand, some teachers may have been teaching for several years already and still suck big time.

[sea sprite]

the school i go to recruits new grads (some of whom are taking their MSs) to teach the lab subjects. this way, the older and more experienced lec teachers get to have a hand in 'guiding' them. in my experience (and in most of my majors), teaching ability has nothing to do with age/experience. e.g. the highest paid teacher in my institute can't teach to save her life! and to think that she has a ph.d. sheesh! i've had better (and cuter!) lab teachers.

tama ka diyan.

[Kendalicious]

why not? as long as they can deliver. as long as they can go down to the level of the students without sacrificing the quality of their teaching. my college has pretty young faculty members because it hires newly grads but i think the college requires them to take a Masters Degree.

[jopert]

Thats the ideal situation. Mas maganda nga kung may masteral degree pero the problem is marameng wala even yung mga matagal na e. Siguro dahil may shortage ng mga magagalinng na teachers kaya ganun. Basta magaling makipag communicate yung person and he/she really knows the subject bakit hindi diba? we really need teachers our age kasi yung mga children ngayon iba kesa dati so its better na young teachers na ren ang mag turo para hindi mag ka roon ng generation gap. New styles for the new generation diba? basta they still command respect sa students nila.

[MC LAMBS]

It's ok to have new grads as teachers pero I think kailangan ng sobrang screening. He/She must know the subject matter by heart and dapat madaldal siya pero with sense naman ang daldal niya. I had a teacher sobrang galing pero so shy siya kaya di nya ma-express yung gusto niya sabihin.

[Cronides]

Teaching would greatly boost the confidence of a professional in terms of dealing with a host of different people. I remember one person told me that "the only way for you to check if you really know what you're talking about is when you teach, and have an easy time doing it." Learning in this sense accompanies practicing what is inside that head. There's nothing wrong about that. For newly grads, this would pose both a challenge and an opportunity. In this sense, it's more than fair for the newly grads. The question is will it be a win-lose or a win-win situation for the teacher and the students?

The reason why there is a screening process is to identify whether or not a teacher could teach all the stuff in the curriculum. For basic teachers, it would suffice that they know about the basics (key concepts accdg. to kesler), but even then, a person of great experience who has mastered the basics is always a better alternative. But the greater factors are always the enthusiasm (same as Ira's) and communication skills (same as jopert and kendalicious') of the new reacuits.

Peace!

[Whatever!!!]

agree ako dyan!!! karamihan ng mga newly grad tchrs ko, gulo nila magturo sa class!!! but if u consult them, yung one-on-one kind of tutoring na, ok sila supr! http://smilecwm.tripod.com/net6/offwall.gif they lack d skills in facilitating a class, all dey know r d theories, topics etc. in their subject, dey don't know how to deliver them in a way dat students will really learn and understand what they're teaching!http://smilecwm.tripod.com/net6/rotcol.gif

[Deus]

Of course, base on experience the kuwento ng mga prof. ko. Hindi naman daw talaga nila natutunan yung mga ilang napag-aaralan nila nung collge dahil nakakalimutan na rin yung iba, pero nang magturo sila, paulit=ulit nilang na-eencounter yung mga konsepto kaya natutunan nila.

I agree pero dapat damihan din yung mga research work.
