University teacher wears Hanfu costume to get students’ attention

By Coconuts Bangkok

 

 

BANGKOK: -- This teacher went above and beyond to make sure his students paid attention. Photos showing a university lecturer wearing China’s Hanfu costume while his students held up their phones to document the moment went viral on Twitter.

 

The lecturer in the photo was identified as Ajarn Kittichai Pinno of the Faculty of Archaeology at Silpakorn University. He was teaching a class about ASEAN languages.

 

He told Morning News yesterday that the first reaction he received from students was surprise, but the youth quickly became extremely interested in the lecture.

Then improve upon the lecture or teaching style.

 

Engage don't lecture.

good on him . maybe if more teachers took the initiative to engage there students like this , they may well learn something worth while .

If the course is about ASEAN languages then how is a Chinese costume relevant?

Thai- teaching: all style- no substance!

Content more important...but this is a face society....

 

getting buck naked also works on Pai....

"...This teacher went above and beyond to make sure his students paid attention..."

 

Wielding a big sword may have helped too !!!

 

That said, every educator needs some "attention grabber" (like a big stick) if they can't engage their students by their charm alone (or a thirst for learning on the student's part).

 

Many older Aussie expats should remember this guy (he was one educator that certainly didn't need a big stick):

For teaching children yes.

 

But fancy dress for undergraduates?

Something to do with the ancient ties and relationships between China and SE Asia, and the extent to which their cultures/languages have been influenced/changed/modified by them and vice versa?

 

Would be interesting to sit in on a lecture. 

 

And maybe learn something.

So, is it going to be a tuk-tuk dress, or tits oot, for a session on the Thai language?

Are they any different to children?

Pokémon or Doraemon would have been more appropriate for the mentality!

You're going to have to expand on that for me...

All that proves is that the lecturers are as stupid as the students. What hope do the the students have to get qualified outside cheating.

University academics live in another world far removed from planet earth. Not just Thailand but everywhere.

Kudos to the teacher for the extra effort, if only the students would pay attention for longer than 5 minutes..

yep , remember it well , and im not that old . he didnt need a stick for the simple reason he had an engaging personality . he had a way about him that actually made you want to learn .   a true teacher is a good leader of minds . he had that down pat  .

Education today competes with tablets and smartphones and to be effective must entertain students.
