Introduction
Concept
Tech refers to impart knowledge to or instruct someone in how to do something especially in
school or college or as a part of a recognized programme. Teaching is considered both as art and
a science. It is an art in the sense of being an activity. Teaching is distinctively human activity, in
which is an essential part of education. Its special function is to impart knowledge, develop
understanding and skills. The whole art of teaching is only the art of wakening the nature.
Education encompasses both the teaching and learning of knowledge, proper conduct and
technical competency. Formal education consists of systematic instruction, teaching and training
by professional teachers. It thus focuses on the cultivation of skill, trades or professions, as well
as mental, moral and esthetic development. Teaching is the action of teachers. The passing of
knowledge from generation to generation allows students to grow into useful members of
society. Good teachers can translate information, good judgment, experience and wisdom in to
relevant knowledge that a student can understand, retain and pass to others teaching is a process
which facilitates learning by encouraging learners to think, feel and do.
Teaching is a system of directed and deliberate actions that are intended to induce learning
through a series of directed active Designed to induce learning.
DEFINITION
Teaching is the stimulation, guidance, direction, and encouragement of learning—Burtan
Teaching is a system of directed and deliberate actions that are intended to induce learning
through a series of directed activities designed to induce learning---Heidgerken 1953
“Teaching is an arrangement and manipulation of a situation in which there are gaps and
obstructions which an individual will seek to overcome and from which he will learn in the
course of doing so”-John Brubacher.
CHARACTERISTICS OF GOOD TEACHING
Imparting knowledge: Teacher should share knowledge in an efficient manner. It is the most
fundamental part of teacher’s job.
Provide opportunities: Provide opportunities for students to learn actively and to apply
practically the knowledge that they have acquired in the class room . Opportunity of the student
should be provided to work is groups and to carry out project and activities to developing them
the qualities necessary for group life and for cooperation work
A well thought out attempt: A well thought out attempt should be made to adopt method of
instruction in order to benefit all categories of student
Train the learner: Technique of the study methods of acquiring knowledge through personal
efforts and initiatives.
Inculcates desirable values and proper attitude: Install values and proper attitude and habits
of work in the student.
Clear thinking and clear expression: Teacher should have clear concept both in speech and
writing has to take place.
Verbalism and memorization: Activity and project method should be assimilated in school
practice. Verbalism and memorizing activity should apply during teaching.
Opportunity of the student should be provided to work in groups and to carry out project and
activities to develop in them the qualities necessary for group life and for cooperation work
PRINCIPLE OF TEACHING
General principle: the principles of teaching are:
The Principle of Aim: there should be definite aim for every lesson. It is a goal or the teacher.
It is to make student learning possible. To teach is to make an assumption bout what and how the
student learns
Principal of motivation:
The best teacher one who inspires the students. The human mind is like the parachute and it
works only when it opens so though teaching teacher should try to unleash the talent of the
student by motivating them.
Principles of activity:
Teacher should also participate in various activities along with student like discussion or
conducting research. Teacher must provide various types of activities such as assignment or
project to enhance creative skill of students.
Principle of selection
Teacher should select an appropriate content, teaching method, media of instruction, AV aids,
textbook, and general article for teaching a particular subject matter in order to make teaching
more meaningful and comprehensible to students
Principle of division
Particular teaching activity should have definite division based on valid reason. Teacher should
be aware about the division and present content to the student in well organized step. Teacher
has to divide the content into clear- cut divisions like definition, classification, etiology,
pathology, clinical features, investigation, line of management, complication and prognosis and
nursing management and teach each division thoroughly before proceeding to the next by giving
adequate weight age to the nursing management.
Principle of correlation
The function of teaching is to share knowledge development of understanding and skills. While
teaching teacher has to take care of that transferred knowledge will not remain segregated and as
far as correlate with previous or related knowledge.
DEFINITION
Learning is the process of growth and development whereby the learner acquires a body of
knowledge, develops ideas which she makes a part of herself and develops the ability to use her
knowledge in the pursuit of her ideas. Learning is a part of education and brings modification of
behavior.
“It is any relatively permanent change or modification of behavior that results as a results of
practice or experience”---Murthy, gates
CHARACTERISTICS OF LEARNING
Learning is unitary
The learner responds as a “whole person” in a unified way to the whole situation or total pattern.
She responds intellectually, emotionally, physically and spiritually, and these occur
simultaneously. All these dimensions are coordinated and integrated toward achievement of
goals.
Learning is individual
Learners differ from one another. Therefore, the teaching learning situation is approached
differently by each learner and with different goals with the result that each learner responds
differently.
Learning is social
Learning takes place in response to the environment in which there are other individuals as well
as physical things.
Learning is self-active
Learning is a personal process. An individual can learn only through her own reactions to
situation.
Learning is purposive
Learning is directed toward the goal. Goals are determined directly by motives and indirectly by
incentives. Motives are conditions, physical and psychological, within the persons that dispose
him to act in certain ways.
Motives take in different variety of forms, eg. Needs, desires, tensions, attitude, interest, and so
on. Motives energize behavior by releasing energy and arousing activity, by selecting or
determining the activities in which the individual will engage. Goal setting comprises both
momentary and long term goal.
Learning is creative
Human learning is both selective and creative. In learning the learner is the primary force, and
the teacher is the secondary force. Learner decides and chooses to learn. The learner has the
power to vary her responses at will and thus creates new forms of response.
Learning is transferable
Transfer means whatever is learned in one context or situation will apply or affect another
context or situation. Transfer depends on understanding: it depends on the discovery of essential
relationship applied deliberately to the situation of a practical problem.
Learning is growth
Learning leads to the growth of the individual by integrating past and present learning. Learning
is the process of growth and development whereby the learner acquires a body of knowledge,
develops ideas which she makes a part of herself and develops the ability to use her knowledge
in the pursuit of her ideals
Learning is adjustment
Learning leads the individual to make adjustment in day to day life for the betterment of an
individual.
Learning is intelligent
Certain level of intelligence is required to lean. Learning style depends upon the intelligence.
There are verbal and linguistic, logical and mathematical, musical, kinesthetic, visual and spatial,
interpersonal and intrapersonal.
Learning is an experience: which occur inside the learner and activated by the
Learner. Learning experience refers to any interaction, courses, program, or other experience in
which learning takes pace, whether it occurs in traditional academic setting[school, classrooms]
or nontradional setting[outside-of-school, locations, outdoor environments], or whether it
includes traditional education
Learning is the discovery: discovery of the personal meaning and relevance of ideas. The
learning process is very much active when the subjects or the ideas to be thought are personally
relevant and meaningful to the learner him/her self.
The teaching – learning process is a transaction or complex cooperative and personal relationship
between faculty and students. The teaching learning process is a personal interactive relationship
that extends beyond the subject matter. Within the interactive relationship faculty related to
students with dignity and respect, wait the expectation that students will be supported and
stimulated to develop intellectual integrity and independent judgment. The roles of a teacher are
facilitator, guide, coach, and mentor acting in partnership with students. The student roles
become those of learner inquirer and seeker of knowledge within and active participative
student-faculty relationship.
There are 4 steps of teaching learning process
Assessment
Planning
Implementation
Evaluation
Assessment
Assessment has three major component; the curricular attributes, the faculty attributes, and the
student attributes. The program and course objectives, critical learning experiences, and learning
outcomes must be thoughtfully examined.
These curricular components provide the foundation for identifying and preparing the
appropriate content that is to be taught.
Faculty also need to appraisal their own attributes, including their level of content
knowledge, their philosophy and attitudes about teaching, and the instructional skill they already
possess and those they want to develop. Faculty should be well informed about various theories
of learning and other theories relevant to learning are used as framework to design the teaching-
learning process.
Student personal attributes that are particularly relevant are those associated with
successful learning. Student attributes having significant learning on the decision made for the
entire teaching learning- process including the student’s entry knowledge and skill, cognitive
abilities. Learning styles, motivation to achieve, study habits, readiness to learn the content, and
preference for instructional methods.
Data about student’s personal attributes can be obtained from various sources. Student’s
entry knowledge and skills can be obtained from a brief review of the course materials and texts
used for prerequisite courses, this helps to establish reasonable expectations of the students.
Informal discussion with faculty and student are another excellent source of entry level
information. During the first or second class meeting, student’s interest in the course and content
and their perception of the classes relationship with previous and concurrent course can be exited
through class discussion. Students can also be asked about individual skill, abilities, and personal
gifts that have not been directly associated with their formal education in a nursing program.
This type of discussion often stimulates lively interaction and helps students to become aware of
faculty interest in the student as a whole person. Individual learning styles and preferences can
also be excited.
Planning
Assessment data are used as a foundation for instructional planning. Instructional plans are
essential for good teaching; plan serve to help faculty better prepare to meet their teaching
responsibilities. Instructional plans can be thought of as maps developed at the course, unit, and
lesson level.
Instructional planning including selecting and organizing the appropriate and essential content in
a logical and meaningful sequence, with attention given to the appropriate delineation of the
important relationships between facts, concept, and principles. Planning also includes selecting
the instructional strategies and designing all of the learning activities. Developing a maps of all
of the lesson plans before the course begins in beneficial because it helps to ensure that content
will be adequately addressed and allow faculty to examine the variety of instructional strategies
and learning activities to be used throughout the course.
Implementation
To enhance student achievement, faculty should be flexible when adapting and modifying
preselected instructional strategies or when implementing the predesigned lesson plan. Student’s
verbal and nonverbal responses during the lesson usually provide cues that indicate a need for
some further explanation, clarification, or additional practice in applying the content. The
common saying “there is the lesson you planned to give, the lesson you gave and the lesson you
wished you had given” provide some insight into the need for flexibility and awareness of
recognizing that the practice of teaching is an evolving process
Evaluation
Evaluation is the final step of an iterative teaching-learning model. Formative and summative
evaluations are two common forms of evaluation used during instruction. Formative evaluation
used to determine student progress throughout the course and is often used during a class session.
Informal strategies such as questions, discussion and feedback about student participation and
success in attaining the objectives of the learning activities provide faculty with valuable
information about student comprehension and achievement during the lesson. Having students
participate at the end of class in constructing a summary of the key point of the lesson also
provide valuable information. Formative evaluation strategies can be considered diagnostic tools
in which they help faculty to focus on difficulties, students are having in attaining the learning
outcomes and provide opportunities for corrective intervention designed to further facilitate
learning.
Summative evaluation is conducted at the end of a course and is used to determine the
extent to which students have achieved the desired learning outcomes. Strategies used for
summative evaluation include multiple choice, essay, and Short answer examination
stimulations; case studies; and formal paper. Faculty may choose to use the results of a
combination of formative and summative evaluation data as the basis for assigning student
grades.
The formative and summative evaluation strategies selected to determine student learning
need to be consistent with the approach used during the instructional strategies and learning
activities
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TEACHING AND LEARNING
Teacher
Learner
One basic model, this figure represents the common situation where the subject is
at the top, indicating that it determines the structure of the teacher and learner
relationship, but the teacher comes next-the servant of the subject, but the
master/mistress of the learner. Very broadly speaking, this may be consistent with
cognitive approaches to learning
Teacher
Subject
Dominance
Learner
In another variant, on the other hand, the teacher is clearly in the dominant
position, managing the relationship between the subject and the learner. Socially,
either the interests of the learner or the demands of the subject or both may be
subordinated to requirement of the teacher: this may be the kind of situation which
obtains in school-where there is a substantial issue of control and where the
selection and interpretation of the subject matter may be in the hands of the
teacher. The relatively greater importance of compliance rather than understanding
may suggest a behaviorist approach. In contrast, however, it may also be the model
of apprenticeship, or of situated learning. Where the community of practice is the
teacher
Dominance Learner
Subject
Teacher
The relationship between learner and subject is close, and the two are in a
dominant position. The role of the teacher is simply to provide a service to the
learner’s work with the subject.
3. Work as a team
Splitting the class up into different teams to complete an assignment is a teaching strategy that
works wonders, especially at age groups where students insist on always working with their
tight-knit circle of friends. Group assignments encourage teamwork and help your class to
succeed.
For instance, in science, you can split the class into small groups for lab-based assignments and
give each person a certain job to complete. You might have one person perform the experiment,
another write notes, and someone else read instructions, for example.
Make sure to pair children who need extra support with those who have a better understanding of
the material. This way, those who are stronger in the subject can share their knowledge to help
their peers understand it better.
All in all, group work is a fun and interactive way to teach a lesson.
Conclusion
Teaching is a interaction process interaction. Interaction means participation both teacher and
student and both are benefits by this. The interaction takes place for achieving desire objectives.
Teaching is an intimate contact between teacher and student. In this process of education teacher
helps in developing in student personality by this intimate contact.
