Opettaja - Teacher
Pedagoginen visioni - My pedagogical Vision
Minulle oppiminen on uusien näkökulmien ja merkitysten ilmenemistä, ymmärtämistä ja sisäistämistä, josta seuraa muutos toiminnassa tai ajattelussa. Pedagogisen ajatteluni keskiössä on opettajan epistemologinen ja eksistentiaalinen vastuu. Kohtaan kaikki oppijat tasavertaisina. Opetan auttaakseni ja voimaannuttaakseni, en arvostellakseni. Tavoiteenani on, että oppija voisi tehdä mitä haluaa, ei vain mihin kykenee.
For me learning is the emergence, understanding, and assimilation of new viewpoints and meanings resulting in a change in one's action or thinking. Epistemological and existential responsibilities of a teacher are at the core of my pedagogical action. I view each individual with equality. I teach to help and empower, not to judge. My aim is that each person I teach is able to do what they want, not only what they can.
