Philosophy of Student, Teaching & Mentoring
John Dewey once said, “We don’t learn from experience, we learn from reflecting on experience.” As educators, we can only improve our craft by contemplating and making conclusions about our everyday classroom interactions and our teaching innovations. This practice is pedagogically sound for today’s educators.
As a teacher, Dr Sakshi has always preferred a student-centric approach. Her sessions are tailored as per student’s learning ability so that they can effectively achieve the objectives set for the course. Students need guidance to reach their maximum potential and attain their goals. To foster such an environment, Dr Sakshi provides students with knowledge of the subject supported by guidance and counseling at the right time. A passionate teacher who wants the best for her students, she invests her energy into giving them comprehensive career and course advice. This empowers them to understand the opportunities available to them on completion of the PGDM Program and make informed choices.
Outcome for students
As part of her teaching practice, Dr Sakshi has adopted the philosophy of “Guided Practice” – the I do, We do, You do method, that was pioneered by Barbara Rogoff, an American academic who is a UCSC Distinguished Professor of Psychology at the University of California. She uses the innovative concept of dialogue teaching, which was developed as an educational approach to train students in cognitive strategies that improved their chances of landing good jobs. The enhanced student performance in academic evaluations and successful corporate placements are the rewards for her teaching initiatives.
With an excellent academic record of her own, Dr Sakshi wishes to imbibe the same learning spirit in her students. As their educator and mentor, she strives to give every student a stimulating educational environment where they can grow emotionally, mentally, and physically. Her teaching methodology engages students and activates their learning through a variety of initiatives such as collaborative projects, themes, and individual work.
