Title:
Teaching maths beyond formulae – the HARDWARE and the HEARTWARE of teaching
Abstract
Teaching needs both hardware and heartware. The hardware refers to knowledge, methodology,
skills, simulation, technology, computers etc. The heartware refers to passion,
enthusiasm, trust, empowerment, the human touch. Hardware makes you an instructor,
heartware creates in you an inspirational compassionate teacher. This lecture will
be illustrated with lessons learned from journeying with students.
