Sitshele kancane ngawe.

Ngakhulela emazweni amahlanu ahlukene (eSweden, ENgilandi, EJalimane, Iningizimu Afrika, naseCanada). Ukuhlanganiswa ezinhlobonhlobo zamasiko ezikhulayo kungenze ngabona umhlaba ngomqondo ovulekile. Njengamanje ngihlala eCanada futhi ngisebenza njengothisha wasenyuvesi kanye nothisha wezibalo kwaReach Out. Ngaphandle komsebenzi ngiyithanda kakhulu imidlalo efana ne-badminton ne-chess, engadlala ezingeni lokuncintisana iminyaka eminingi.

Siyini isizinda sakho semfundo kanye neziqu?

Ngathola iBachelor of Science Degree eNyuvesi yaseBritish Columbia (UBC) futhi ngathola i-MSc yami enyuvesi efanayo. Umsebenzi wami wokuthweswa iziqu wawuhilela i-geoscience yokuhlola lapho ngaklama khona umshini wokuphenya ukuthi amadayimane afinyelela kanjani ebusweni bomhlaba ngokusebenzisa ama-magmas esivinini esikhulu.. Ngishicilele izindatshana kumajenali amabili anethonya eliphezulu futhi ngethula umsebenzi kulo lonke elaseCanada naseYurophu.

Phakathi nezifundo zami zokuphothula iziqu ngathola ilungelo lokufundisa amakilasi ambalwa ashintshela esikhundleni sokufundisa.. Ukufundisa ezingeni lasenyuvesi kubandakanya ukufundisa ikilasi elidlule 200 abafundi, okuhluke kakhulu emsebenzini engiwenzayo kwa-Reach Out, kodwa kungisizile ukuba ngithuthukise isitayela sokufundisa esiguqukayo.

Ukwengeza, Bengilokhu ngifundisa izibalo neSayensi kokubili ngasese nangezinhlangano zemfundo isikhathi eside 6 iminyaka.

Kungani ujoyine i-Reach Out?

Ngijoyine i-Reach Out ngoba ithemba lokukwazi ukuletha imfundo esezingeni eliphezulu emhlabeni wonke ngaphandle kwemingcele liyangithinta..

Nginomuzwa wokuthi isizathu sokuba ngizibophezele ngokuhlala e-Reach Out sibaluleke kakhulu. Amakilasi enziwe ngezifiso alethwayo angivumele ukuthi ngixhumane nabafundi, okwenza ukuqhubeka kwabo kube nenjongo kakhulu kimi. Abanye abafundi bebendawonye nami emazingeni amaningi amabanga futhi ngizizwa ngiziqhenya kakhulu ngokuba neqhaza emfundweni yabo..

Ithini ifilosofi yakho yezemfundo?

Ukuba nesizinda sesayensi yokuhlola kungivumele ukuba ngibone ukubaluleka kokwenza impumelelo ngokuhlola. Ngokuvumela abafundi ukuthi bazame izindlela ezahlukene ngenkathi benikeza isiqondiso kuyindlela ephumelela kakhulu yokufundisa abafundi ukuthi bangesabi ukwehluleka.. Kusho uRichard Fuller ngendlela efanele, “Ayikho into okuthiwa i-experiment engaphumelelanga, ukuhlola kuphela okunemiphumela engalindelekile.” Abafundi bavame ukuqala amakilasi ami besaba ukuphendula imibuzo, xoxa nabafunda nabo, noma ubhale ebhodini njengoba bengazazi izimpendulo. Njengoba ngihlala ngigxile kakhulu ezisombululweni kunezimpendulo, abafundi bavuzwa ngokuzama amasu amasha, ukuxoxa ngezindlela ezihlulekile, futhi bebuza imibuzo ngomsebenzi wabafundi abafunda nabo. Ngithole ukuthi lokhu kukhiqiza indawo yokufunda emangalisayo futhi kuthatha ingcindezi enkulu kubafundi.  

Iyiphi into oyithanda kakhulu ngokufundisa iMathematics?

Into engiyithanda kakhulu ngokufundisa iMathematika izinselelo ezithokozisayo ezihlinzekayo. Ngemva kokufundisa izibalo iminyaka eminingi, Ngiye ngabona ukuthi abafundi babona umhlaba ngombono oyingqayizivele, okuyinto kaningi kunalokho, yehluke kakhulu kweyami. Lokhu kwehlukahlukana kukhiqiza izinhlobo eziningi zezitayela zokufunda futhi kudinga ukuthi ngihlale ngivumelana nezimo ngezindlela engizisebenzisayo ekufundiseni kwami..

Izibalo ziyisifundo esiyinkimbinkimbi esisinikeze ulimi lomhlaba wonke ukuze siqonde kangcono indawo yonke esizungezile. Ukuba nekhono elihle lokuxazulula izinkinga kuwumphumela wokufunda Izibalo futhi kubalulekile ukuze uphumelele emhlabeni wanamuhla. Ngenxa yalezi zizathu nginomthwalo wemfanelo wokuguqula isifundo esomile nesidina sibe yinto ethokozisayo ngokwenza izifundo eziphoqayo nokusebenzisa ubuhlakani ukuze ngikhuthaze abafundi bami.. Lokhu kuyohlale kuyinto engiyithandayo ngomsebenzi wami.

Ubani isazi sakho sezibalo ozithandayo futhi kungani?

Umbuzo onzima lo, futhi kunzima ukukhomba isazi sezibalo esisodwa njengoba ngisebenzisa imisebenzi yoSozizibalo abaningi esifundweni esisodwa nje.. Ukube bekufanele ngikhethe bekungaba nguJohannes Kepler noma uNicolaus Copernicus njengoba ngithanda nesayensi yezinkanyezi.. Izibalo zabo azizange ziphonse inselelo kuphela yonke into eyayikholelwa ngesimiso sethu sonozungezilanga ngaleso sikhathi, kodwa futhi yakha izisekelo zokuqonda ukunyakaza kweplanethi. Uhambo lwasemkhathini luthembele kakhulu kule miqondo.

Uma ukwazi ukunikeza abazali iseluleko esisodwa kuphela uma kuziwa ekusizeni ingane yabo ukuthi ithuthuke ku-Math, kungaba yini?

Yinye into engisebenze kuyo kakhulu nabafundi bami, ibenza bangichazele izixazululo zabo kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kubonakala kulula kangakanani. Ukwazi ukuthola impendulo efanele ezinhlelweni ezithile zesikole kungase kungadingi ukuqonda okuphelele, kodwa ukukwazi ukuchaza isixazululo kahle kudinga ukuqonda okuhle. Qiniseka ukuthi ingane yakho ihlala ibonisa izinyathelo ezicace kakhulu emsebenzini wayo nokuthi ingakuchazela izinyathelo zayo. Lokhu kuqinisekisa ukuqonda futhi kukhombisa ukuthi bayilungiselele imibuzo ehlola umqondo ofanayo kodwa engase ibekwe ngendlela ehlukile.

Iliphi iqiniso elilodwa elijabulisayo ngawe?

Ngithanda kakhulu ukufunda izilimi! Ngemva kokukhulela emazweni amaningi ahlukene ngiyakwazi ukukhuluma isiNgisi, IsiSwidi, kanye nesiJalimane ngokushelelayo. Eminyakeni emibili edlule bengisebenzela ukwengeza isiShayina eqoqweni lami futhi ngijabulele izinselele eziyingqayizivele ukufunda lolu limi oluyinkimbinkimbi okunginikeze zona..
