5. A page from my ‘Teaching Philosophy’ as shared with GCLT class of 2010.

My Teaching Philosophy has grown over a period of youth as student, industry years,

academic years of PhD candidacy and now as a teaching staff. It is rooted in the belief that

all humans are within an ‘anthropo-cosmic nexus’ (Tu, 1985) whereby each person

represents a meaningful micro-cosmos. Through life-long self-cultivation one can reach the

full potential of ‘becoming real human.’ Formal institutional education is a part of this lifelong

journey of self-cultivation of every human.

3

As a business teacher and also as a co-traveller in this journey with students, I try to help

students contextualize the meaning of each process of understanding, learning and

applications within this broader and deeper self-introspection, with self-realisation that such

immanence of meaningful micro-cosmos residing within each student is their own starlight to

follow in the anthropo-cosmic world or ‘life-world’ realities (Habermas, 1987).

When search for or re-discovery of one’s meaning of inner self and/or potential is combined

with the practical steps of classroom and industry engagement such as my teaching agenda

with IB postgraduates going through ‘Teach, Research, Innovate & Professionally Engage’

(‘TRIP’), I see the delightful progress or turn-around happening with students.

While any student can achieve full potential in life and study, including that of business

irrespective of current standings of students’ capacity, it is an important practical process to

understand each student’s real life agenda on learning and career aspirations and help set

them on realistic footing with pragmatic step by step agenda, while building and keeping up

the healthy habit of continual self-cultivation both in intellect and skills, as indicated by

Walker (2001).

I delight in being a co-learner, mentor, intellectual and industry partner for students in search

of academic and professional excellence as a community of thoughtful and capable societal

constituents and business practitioners, as supported by Moon J. (2004).
