Teaching and learning are the two sides of a coin. The most accepted criterion for measuring good
teaching is the amount of student learning that occurs. There are consistently high correlations between
students’ ratings of the “amount learned” in the course and their overall ratings of the teacher and the
course. Those who learned more gave their teachers higher ratings. A teacher’s effectiveness is again
about student learning. The literature on teaching is crammed full of well researched ways that teachers
can present content and skills that will enhance the opportunities for students to learn. It is equally filled
with suggestions of what not to do in the classroom. However, there is no rule book on which teaching
methods match up best to which skills and/or content that is being taught. Students often have little
expertise in knowing if the method selected by an individual instructor was the best teaching method or
just “a method” or simply the method with which the teacher was most comfortable.
Research indicates that students are the most qualified sources to report on the extent to which the
learning experience was productive, informative, satisfying, or worthwhile. While opinions on these
matters are not direct measures of instructor or course effectiveness, they are legitimate indicators of
student satisfaction, and there is substantial research linking student satisfaction to effective teaching.
What makes for effective teaching? Effective teaching and effective learning takes place when a number
of efficient and effective teaching strategies are used. Education is a process by which the personality of a
student is developed. Thus the education of tomorrow should be able to play its role more effectively by
making the individual creative, innovative and effective. Modern Teaching Technique is important and

efficiency and also clear all their doubts with Modern Teaching Techniques. Teachers must use various
types of Modern Teaching Techniques to connect with the students.
The classroom is a dynamic environment, bringing together students from different backgrounds with
various abilities and personalities. Being an effective teacher therefore requires the implementation of
