INTRODUCTION
Teaching is not an easy task. Teacher need to have abilities to understand students and to
know the different way to learn them. Many teacher are teaching in educational center,
but they do not have the vocation to teach. Many of them know a lot knowledge, they are
expert in much areas, but they do not have the abilities to transmit that knowledge. it is
important to have both skills, the knowledge and the vocation to teach.
Teaching perspective is a site the help to many people to know theirself the best areas to
grown potential and improve the more weaknesses areas.
people can take the test in no more five minutes, in that time the user answer the different
option that present the test , after that the site send the result in the electronic address that
you write when you fill in your personal information .In the TPI result appear 5 areas, like
transmission, apprenticeship, developmental, nurturance and social reform. After you
receive the result it is important to analyze, understand and interpretate your profile.
This teaching perspective inventory reflect something about my abilities to teach. I got 25
points of 45 possible in transmission area. That means that I am not a mastery of the
subject matter or contend. I need to improve in areas like to provide clear objective,
making efficient use of class time, correcting errors, making summarize and direct the
learning with the appropriate goals. It is important to have a good connection between
contend, resources and objectives in order to complete the topics. sometime a lost
important time when I find an important information that I consider is important to grown
the brain in the students affecting the development of the topic.
Apprenticeship is important to ask himself what students need in their live. It is important to
fill them with a lot information that they will never use, or we want to prepare them to face
the society and to be successfully in their live . Theory is very important in every class, but
if the class does not have practice, it is a blind knowledge.
My score was 26 points in this area, I think is a low score because do not reflect my
experience with students.
Developmental area measure what is the ability of the teacher to plan and conduct their
class taking the point of view of students. It is important to understand that every learner
has different way to learn. Most of them learn very quickly, but other students need to
used other methods to learn. Teacher adapt the topic evaluating previously resources,
students level with the contend. I got 28 points in this area, I expect to get a high grade in
all of them.
What students are doing with the topic, or what they are thinking about the information that
they are learning. One goal of the teacher is to make confident students. Students need to
encourage their effort in every activity, one time they can fail, then, the challenge is to
win experience to face the other problem, in this stage enter the work of the teacher.
teacher foment the knowledge and values like those. In my case is was my lower score. I
got 24, I am no agree with this result, because I promote the selfsteem and the self
confidence in my students in every class.
Social reform means to induce to students to make changes in the society. They are the
motor to move the society toward a good future. That is the responsibility of the teacher to
promote changes, values and ideologies that generate changes.
