University Teaching

My Teaching Philosophy is Get Up, Let Others Get Up

My Learning Story.............

“Learning starts from asking question” a common dialogue from Dr. M. Mahbubul Islam, honorable Vice Chancellor of Daffodil International University. It’s really a good quote, and I can remember, in my childhood I used to ask question mom what is this, dad what is that? From these question asked, I learned to know that this is cat and that is rat.

The first teacher in my life is my mother from whom I started to learn the letters one by one. She is the real teacher I can feel for whom I got inspired to be a teacher. Another good teacher is my father whose inspiration always led to be a well-educated person and started searching the ways of being successful in education life. The third phase of facing the teachers is my teachers who taught in my school, college and University.

My academic learning started when my father took me by holding the hand to school and introduced me with the teachers. I was actually so much happy in getting introduced with a lot of good friends. The excitement was unbelievable. From the school, I started learning bookish knowledge and from my family the moral knowledge. The society where I grew taught me the cultural affairs. Once I completed primary level, my father admitted me in my local high school. That was another wonderful experience of learning of making new friends and how to cope with a new environment. It was a memorable incident when I stayed separate from my family for about one and half month for the purpose of sitting for secondary school certificate (SSC) as the center far from my home. For a 16-year boy it was another learning platform. The time came when the result of SSC published. The feelings can’t be expressed in words when I came to know that I got grade point average (GPA)-5 out of 5. It was time to spread sweets to the near and dear ones of our relatives and neighbors. The path of learning moved to another premise that is the college where I started learning higher secondary certificate (HSC) in the capital city of my country. The learning process started there staying far from my family in the college hostel. It was new environment of learning from college mates. The classroom practice, fun and naughty days in the college life is memorable. The college life again ends with getting GPA-5 out of 5. At that time, the struggle for getting admitted into the university started. For being prepared of the admission test got admitted in the university coaching center. This time admission was taken at Jagannat university in the department of Finance but did not continue my study over there due to financial crisis and started an academic coaching namely ‘Prottasha Coaching’ later renamed as ‘Forward Tutorial’ where I was the sole administrator and instructor. After continuing the coaching for some months got chance in the University of Dhaka and admitted in the department of Management Information Systems (MIS). The new era of learning started again in the University premise. The learning started from mutual interaction among university hall mates. The learning over there was a bi-directional that is the mixture of both learning from the varsity classroom and teaching at the coaching center and tuition. The bachelor of business administration (BBA) degree achieved with a good academic records. Then admitted at the master of business administration (MBA) at the same department and university. At the end of the degree, got a chance of studying master of science (MSc) by being awarded Erasmus mundus leader scholarship in the university of Extremadura, Spain and learning started from international dimension. It was a great experience indeed. Meeting with foreign students coming from different countries and regions made new experience and learning. The degree was achieved successfully from there and returned my home country.

After coming back my country, I started learning by teaching when I joined in a University as a lecturer. It is a profession from where real learning starts. Interaction with students, colleagues, parents create opportunity for learning.

Actually, there is no ending of learning. So, as a teacher, I believe there is no alternative to learning and I must practice and hinge after learning and learning.
