I
am a Lecturer of the Department
of Information Systems Engineering at the University of Colombo School of Computing.
This website refers to my personal
collection of information describing and documenting my achievements and
learning. This has been used as one of the accreditation of my prior experience,
my continuing professional development and certification of competences.
This portfolio is structured into five sections. In the first section I give a brief introduction to myself and my
progress through personal and academic life. In the second section I have
presented a mapping of SEDA values, and SEDA outcomes to portfolio sections.
The intention of this mapping is to guide the reader and to summarize the
evidence of my commitment to SEDA values and objectives.
This
is followed by the section where I have discussed my personal thoughts
(my philosophy) about teaching, my concrete experience from the CTHE course and
my observations during the workshops. Also I have briefly described some learning
theories which I came across in the CTHE course and what I learnt from the
course.
In the next section I have discussed my
active experimentation with my academic career which transforms my abstract
conceptualization of CTHE course. Further, I have discussed about how I applied
the knowledge which I have gained in the CTHE workshop in teaching and learning,
to some of my day to day activities. In the Kolb’s learning cycle, this section
is placed in the active involvement in teaching and learning followed by some
experiences and reflection on my teaching and students learning. Also, I have
discussed about how my students and peer commented on my teaching and what
actions I took to improve the pitfalls in my teaching and students learning.
To be
effective, one should "do the right things" and should "do it
right/correctly" “at right time”. My last section
shows some of my future plans which will lead me towards my goal, to become an effective academic. And I have concluded my entire portfolio that the success of life does not depend only
in one person but the people around too and the life long reflective practice
can polish it further.
