Once you embark on your PhD or Masters...
The moment you are thinking about doing a PhD or Masters (advanced degree) it would be the moment you are blessed with wishful spirits to extend your cognitive (intellectual) capacity as well as mental capability (endurance, perseverance, resilience, etc). That moment is an indicator that you are embarking into the first out of the multilayersof complex suffering yet intriguing metacognitive processes.
Intellectuality and capacity will be tested...your relationship will be tested, in both with Allah and human beings.
Thus, it is a good path to uncover your strengths and weaknesses.
Road to Scholarly Teachers by N Kushairi
My Teaching and Learning Philosophy
- Dr Norliza Kushairi
- Teaching means learning. When we teach, we are questing for knowledge. Hence, learning. Thus, teaching is a manifestation of lifelong learning. Being a teacher, is a lifelong learner, a learning designer. All this is due to my philosophy of "Life is a redox"; when one gives, another has to take, otherwise, life won't exist. Teaching is a devotion, not just a profession.

When Mr Cloud weds Miss Ground: A personal account on creative teaching delivery attempt
When ‘Mr Cloud' weds ‘Miss Ground’: A personal account on a creative teaching delivery attempt by integrating cloud computing and grounded
teaching facilities.

Abstract
This is my
personal account while attempting to embed creativity in my teaching as a
response to the current call for 21st century learning skills and
classroom models. Owing to the dullness and stagnant in presenting the lecture,
the attempt was carried out by using cloud computing merged with grounded teaching
facilities to create an astonising presentation style for my lecture. While
navigating my teaching delivery, I encountered many possibilities and
impossibilities. Apart from enriching my strenghts, it invaluably discloses my rectifiable
weaknesses; the ones that I didn’t believe needed to be addressed before. The contentment
and satisfaction derived from the experience evidenced in the students’
after-class-reflection and written responses, paved to a whole new perspective
of mind reboosting. What I gathered from the endeavor is the lesson for life;
lifelong learning could be manifested only if you are willing to expose yourself
for possibilities and impossibilities. To ‘learn, unlearn and relearn’ is the
whole true notion to be grasped and exercised by a 21st century
teacher.
