My aim in teaching is to convey the joy of thinking and to transfer the
enthusiasm for science to students. In practice, this can be achieved by
fostering discussions between students, or providing regular feedbacks
between students and the teacher. The latter point can be improved by
employing techniques associated with E-teaching approaches (mailing lists,
electronic bulletin boards, asynchronous student-teacher communication,
etc.). Internet-based teaching opens up a whole new world of possibilities
that allow for a better interaction between teacher and student and new
ways of explorative learning. Nevertheless, I am an enthusiastic field
geologist and in my opinion, geo-systems and processes are best presented
in the field and should be studied firsthand in our “natural laboratory”.
However, regardless of the applied technique, teaching is always measured
by its outcome: motivated and skilled students. To keep students motivated
is one of the most rewarding aspects of teaching and therefore, my
teaching goal.
