teacher-project: student-project

Our views as students about projects are a lot different than of the views of a teacher...

As a student you might see it as a time wasting activity, costly activity, boring activity,non-beneficial activity etc...

But a teacher would see it as a time for learning beyond the four walls of the classroom, an opportunity to socialize with others at the same time learning, an alternative method for learning...

As future teachers we should keep in mind both views about project, we should be keen enough to acknowledge the the views of student and divert their pessimism about projects to optimism...yeah a teacher knows how beneficial it it for students but students at first would not acknowledge it unless you guide and enlighten them about your views.

Make them realize that through project making they learn and have fun. They no longer are confined with the four walls of the classroom. Their nose would no longer bleed because of the mind bugling theories but instead application of their learning would take place. Their social awareness and sensitivity would also be developed by the projects they would do that would concern himself/herself and the society he/she lives in.

As a future teacher learn to balance your views of projects so when you already become a full pledge teacher you would know what to do and you would know what would be a better stand. :)
