Learning is a lifelong adventure and one of the most exciting and fulfilling experiences in the human experience. As a professor, I endeavor to facilitate and guide students' learning to accomplish their learning goals. When appropriate, it is important to emphasize students' self efficacy in achieving their goals. Self efficacy is a concept developed by Bandura.
Learning is a vital dynamic and interactive process in which the teacher guide and student learner both are enriched. This is consistent with the social cognitive approach proposed by Vygotsky and Benner, which I embrace. The teacher guide and student learner are both active participants in the learning process. Trust and transparency in the teacher guide and student learner relationship greatly enhances the learning process. The approach to learning should be customized to the individual learner as much as possible.
