I am Hendra Senjaya, I am from Indonesia. Currently I am teaching CIE Cambridge AS/A Level Business 9609. I am teaching secondary students, and this year I am teaching the Grade 10 and Grade 12 students.

My favorite part of my job is when I could lead my students to explore the deeper understanding of concepts and applications in business environment. Not only to cover our textbook topics, but also the recently activities happening around us. Business environment is a fast-pacing evolving, and a dynamic realm where a lot of different elements in a society interconnected with one another.

When I'm not working, I enjoy watching movies, and playing computer games. At times, I will just browse the internet looking for various interesting topics whether it relates to my subject of teaching, or just to fulfil my personal interests.

Hey everyone! I am Hendra Senjaya, from Indonesia. Currently teaching CIE Cambridge, AS/A Level Business 9609.

What are your current challenges being a teacher/educator in your institution/city/country? How do they influence (or even restraint) your teaching?

For example, one of the biggest challenges for teachers here is the complexity of regulations and curriculum that change from time to time. Sometimes, just right before we settle down with a curriculum system or mode, the regulations change again. It is challenging since the time constraint to adapt and implement can be quite short. While the practices at the schools have been implemented differently for the past few years.

It creates such confusion, uncertainty, and unnecessary exhaustion for everyone. Which limits our students to actually focus on what are necessary to face the 21st century learning environment. Even working environment.

Please share your thoughts, and experiences here. Thank you!

Good day, Irina! This sounds great! Forum like this will allow teachers and educators around the world to build collaborative works outside our rigid or restricted syllabus or curriculum.

Which perhaps would continue beyond the timeline of this contest.

In my opinion, students should train and equip themselves with analytical thinking process, due to the information that will flood them from various, and easy to access sources of information. They should be able to identify, sort, and summarize the information based on their needs and necessities.

The second skill, that perhaps students should instil and become more incumbent in their learning process is on how to integrate the use of AI responsibly and positively. Refusing or underestimating the use and integration of AI into their learning journey and working process, will make them an inept learners. Being able to process and integrate AI in producing a high quality of works professionally will enable them to compete in the future.
