Abstract:
One of the greatest misconceptions in teacher education is that mastering content automatically prepares someone to teach it. It was as a biochemistry laboratory demonstrator that the concepts truly came to life. Explaining procedures, answering questions, and connecting theory to practice deepened my own understanding, reinforcing that I learned the content more fully by teaching it.
