Criticism Day 2: A Journey of Learning and Growth

Date: 28th February 2025

Venue: Baselios Marthoma Mathews II Training College

As a student, every experience in the B.Ed. program is a stepping stone toward becoming an effective educator. Criticism Day 2 was one such valuable experience that allowed me to observe, analyze, and reflect on various teaching methods and pedagogical strategies.

Observing and Learning

Throughout the day, we witnessed diverse teaching styles and methodologies. Each session provided a unique perspective on classroom management, instructional techniques, and student engagement. Observing my peers, I realized that teaching is not just about delivering content—it is about interaction, reinforcement, and adapting to the needs of students.

Constructive Criticism: A Tool for Growth

One of the highlights of the day was the feedback session. Evaluators, mentors, and peers provided constructive criticism, highlighting strengths and areas for improvement. This feedback was invaluable in shaping our teaching skills. It made me reflect on my own teaching methods and consider new approaches to enhance student learning.

A Step Closer to Becoming an Educator

By the end of the day, I felt a sense of accomplishment. Criticism Day 2 was not just an assessment; it was a learning experience that encouraged self-improvement. It reinforced the importance of patience, clarity, and innovation in teaching.

As I move forward in my teaching journey, I carry with me the lessons learned on this day. Teaching is a continuous process of learning, and every critique is an opportunity to grow.

Reflection 

Criticism Day 2 was a reminder that feedback is not about pointing out flaws but about refining skills. It was an enriching experience that brought us one step closer to becoming educators who can truly make a difference in students' lives.
