TPI Result

I scored higher (and the same) in transmission and social reform. As the test was taken before I went for my short practicum, the result might be changed if I will take the survey one more time, however talking about this result; shows that I am enthusiastic about my content and convey that enthusiasm to my students. As for my higher score in my social ref, than apprenticeship, nurturing and especially developmental perspectives of teaching, shows, I believe that, the object of teaching is the collective rather than the individual, and I do believe that class discussions are much more effective than individually ones, at least in some specific subjects.  I was surprised that I did score less than all for developmental perspective as I thought it was very important as well. I think that good teachers must understand how their learners think and reason about the content, and I do believe that content is one of most important aspect of a lesson; however, I would blame this small score on not knowing much about the classroom atmospheres and the students' needs. Good teachers care about their students and understand that some have histories of failure resulting in lowered self-confidence and will provide encouragement and support and as I have scored fairly on the nurturing. And finally, I have scored almost as high as other ones, means that I do believe in being knowledgeable and skilled while teaching and I do agree that “Good teachers are highly skilled practitioners of what they teach.” Again, the results may change in the future.
