MY PHILOSOPHY OF
TEACHING (COMMERCE)
I
believe that any teacher who is expected to transact the curriculum of a subject
to his students has first to develop
a thorough understanding and meaningful insights
regarding all aspects
concerning that subject. A subject is accepted as a unique discipline
for study because it conveys specific
meanings and also possesses important characteristics which in turn lead to worthwhile functions to be served for
the benefit of the society. The
subject can be dealt with, in such a
way as to fulfill the demands posed by the nature, scope and importance of the discipline, only if the teacher
understands and appreciates these. This
is very true of Commerce also. Commerce education is directly concerned
with the day to day life of the students. The main purpose of commerce
education is to provide knowledge about the commerce and to prepare
the student for vocational competency including training and development of skill.
Commerce education is useful for the
students to understand the various aspects of changing of the ownership of
goods and to know about the various aids
which facilitate the central process of exchange. Commerce education is aimed at
giving adequate knowledge
about the wholesale trade, retail, export
trade, import trade
and entire-port trade. More-over
it provides some knowledge about the movement of goods etc., Transport, Communication Insurance, Ware-housing, Money, Banking & Finance
and Mercantile Agencies.
The main purpose of
teaching Accountancy is to make the students understand the importance of book keeping
its need and accuracy, neatness, orderliness, responsibility, honesty etc. This helps the students to know how to prepare and interprets
simple financial statements and
reports. It aids the students can
understanding the posting of business transactions in the various
forms of Accounts
books such as journal, ledger,
and other subsidiaries books etc. The
commerce education helps the students to draw
conclusion about the financial position
of the organizations.
Many technical,
industrial, and scientific developments are taking place. As these
developments goes on the demand for efficient office workers will
increase rapidly. More and more employment opportunities will be available at the executive
and supervisory level as
well as at the lower level Commerce education provides proper training
for executives and supervisory and lower level workers. The college programmes of commerce education will
provide education for lower level such as typist,
stenographers, book-keepers, file clerks, cashier etc. Division of labour and specialization leads every country not to
be a self-sufficient one. Therefore,
many commercial transactions are
carried out between one country and another.
So the Foreign trade becomes
inevitable, under such circumstances the importance of Foreign trade for the development of every country
is imminent. In order to carry on the foreign trade effectively commerce
education is an essential one. Commerce education provides knowledge about foreign trade, foreign exchange etc. It provides efficient supervisory personnel and the other able hands at lower level to assist the top executives. It also plays a vital role in the modern
economic development. Thus, it is very important at the higher
secondary level.
Commerce is a dynamic
process that brings together technology, natural resources and human initiatives in a constantly changing global environment. Hence, commerce education has undergone a tremendous change in the wake of Liberalisation, Privatisation and Globalisation. Computerized systems are fast replacing other
systems.
E-commerce and other related
concepts, therefore, have been introduced as part of the
higher secondary curriculum. It helps
students to appreciate that commerce is an integral
component of society and also to develop an understanding of many social and ethical
issues.
With the
fast-changing economic scenario and business environment the commercial world is in a state of continuous flux. In
tune with circumstance, commerce education has
carved out a place for itself at the higher secondary and higher education
stage. Its curriculum content
should give students
firm foundations in basic accounting principles and business
studies to keep them abreast
with the changes
in its methodology concerning particular aspects of the subject. This
would help to develop among students’
traits such as logical reasoning, careful analysis.
