MY EXPERIENCE AS A STUDENT-TEACHER. As it always done by every student undergoing an educational course in the faculty of education and those in the college of education. Teaching practice exercise is a compulsory course that must be taken by every students running an education programme and which he/she must pass before he/she can be awarded a B.ed,B.sc.ed,B.A.ed,NCE at the end of his/her period of study. The writer is about to complete is period of teaching practice exercise in one secondary school in Ekiti state and wants to share his little experience in the "chalk and talk profession".My First day at my school of assignment was a very calm one which I had the mindset of just coming to the school and just get my A' in the course because I felt teaching is not a noble profession,my colleagues and I were accepted by the management of the school we are to undergo the six weeks programme,after that we were attached to different teachers as trainees. Fast forward to my first day facing the students as a teacher to teach,I was a bit nervous and shy but my corporate teacher told me being shy cannot make one a good tutor,hearing that I got myself composed and taught the topic I am supposed to teach which was introduction to commerce in a SS1 class.After discharging my duties I was relieved and happy my second class was only me without my corporate teacher which I had to maintain some level of discipline in my class so as to achieve the objectives of the lesson. I led them through the discussion in the topic of the day and the students participation was superb and we call it a day after the period duration. As time goes on I started discovering the beauty of the teaching profession which I had no interest in before because I am just studying business education due to the fact that I was not given my preferred course(economics).I can't hide the fact that I have known what teaching entails in real sense and why teachers must be respected and why teaching should be a respected profession like medicine,accounting, engineering,law e.t.c. I have noticed during my little period of teaching that the rot in Nigeria educational system was caused by nonprofessional teachers that had bombarded the sector and to solve these myriad problems,everyone in the system must have a well decent knowledge of all aspect of education such as the sociological, psychological and philosophical aspects of education. Our government must also be honest enough with the sector and stop appointing engineers,lawyers as ministers and commissioners of the education ministries at federal and states level respectively so as to achieve a high standard of education and academic performance among the students. Let me stop by saying teaching is a noble profession. Written by:ADEYEMI OLALEKAN,a 300l student of EKITI STATE UNIVERSITY.
