Impact of Accumulated Teaching Experience on Supporting Learners In Higher Education: A Case Study From Bahrain

Abstract

Studies confirm that learning together with experienced and qualified teachers let students realize how theory and
practice connect. Teaching experience increases teacher’s effectiveness and experienced teachers have a positive
impact on the performance of their students and colleagues. As teachers gain experience, their students are more
likely to do better on other estimates of success far off test scores, as their achievement gains increase.
Therefore, in this paper, I have used a comprehensive approach to bounce back my teaching experience and learning
support in higher education for about four decades relating to different areas as planning learning and teaching
activities, assessing and giving feedback to students, developing effective learning environment and engaging in
continuing professional development. Research proved that teaching experience increases teacher’s effectiveness and
it is very essential to highlight this positive relationship between teaching experience and teaching effectiveness in
boosting students’ achievement through offering knowledge, insight and wisdom whether directly or indirectly. The
importance of this paper can be recognizes through focusing on the role of teaching experience in helping students to
improve socially and academically.
