The professional qualities, learning
products, domains, principles, and needs of teachers...
I have read different explanations
from the various authors since they unanimously agreed in one definition that professional
qualities refer to the teacher’s knowledge of the subject matter to be taught,
his understanding of psychological and educational principles, theories and
concepts of the pedagogical methods and strategies as well as his high regard and
appreciation to the teaching profession.
The learning products
The learning products or qualities are
imbued with the outcomes of learning such as cognitive, affective and
psychomotor domains of learning. In fact, the learning products are very
important along with the professional qualities of teacher as a friend, a
counselor, a model and a parent surrogate, a facilitator of learning, a
motivator, a classroom manager, and an evaluator of students’ performance.
The teaching profession must be
associated with the needs of teachers who have possessed with professional
qualities. The needs must encompass the following: positive atmosphere in a
class wherein the students are very attentive and responsive to the discussion
and some other related activities to be done inside the classroom; fair
treatment among the students and the teacher himself in day-to-day living and
teaching; firmness and understanding from their superiors; recognition for
their contributions as far as effective teaching and humane lesson application
are concerned; and chance for professional growth.
In the field of education, most of
us believe that teaching is a multifaceted human activity for it entails a wide
range of teaching approaches, interactions, planning, organizational
arrangement and material resources that transpire within the four walls of the
classroom and in the teaching-learning process.
Another view holds that effective
teaching is the act of providing diverse activities that facilitate learning.
Brown and Thornton have delineated certain distinctions between teaching and
educational information-giving. According to them, both of these
teaching-learning functions are indispensable, but they are not the same. They
have distinct functions on how a certain student learns fast with a right
approach, the other one learns very fast with memorization and the last one
seems to absorb everything with conceptualization of the teaching-learning
process.
Principles of teaching should be stressed
out in order to be aware of the positive outlooks, teaching-learning situations,
and efficiencies at all times in classroom activities. Furthermore, the
principles of teaching are stipulated herein by the various authors in the
teaching profession, thus giving emphasis to the importance of five principles
of teaching: 1) respect for the individual; 2) democracy as a way of life; 3)
providing suitable conditions for the development and maintenance of a sound
personality; 4) improving group living in the classroom; and 5) improving the
classroom environment.
Best approach of effective teaching
Through these principles, an
effective teacher must have the best approach of teaching that gives him the
nature by imparting knowledge to the students with dynamism and right strategy in
class or method of teaching. It points out how a lesson is to be developed, and
to be technically formulated in order for the students to take part and to pave
the way for effective learning processes with the extent of participation in a
classroom setting.
Thus, it is indispensable for the
teachers to take cognizance of the moral duties and responsibilities,
especially when they face students with various family backgrounds just to
share content-knowledge, must use every precious time with the students, to get
along with them by sharing current events or information, to teach them how to think
well, to open the door to varied experiences in life, and to impinge on their
hearts so that classroom situation makes the teaching-learning enjoyable and
meaningful.
The effective teachers must have the
mastery of the subject matter. In order for them to gain the mastery of the
subject matter, they have to know first the fundamental rules or principles of teaching.
The mastered contents or subject matters should be readied beforehand before
imparting knowledge to their students. Teachers should encourage their students
to ask questions, to give their viewpoints, reactions or comments.
There are also other ways in order
for them to become very effective in teaching to their students: 1) in all
teaching activities, motivation is at all times a part or should always be a
part of teaching because students do not learn as much as they do without
motivation; 2) it should be followed by a step-by-step level of questioning
from literal level to interpretative level and from metaphorical level to evaluative
level; and 3) it is a lecture because it is considered an
effective method of communication to be utilized by the teachers.
techniques in teaching matter on the subject the teachers may taught.because different teaching approaches may apply in such a way that you may able to impart knowledge to your students. molding one's individual may cater the style of teaching approaches and the foundation of students.There are likely as many teaching methods and techniques as there are teachers, but some stand out due to their effectiveness. Both teachers and students will enjoy class more when it includes methods that encourage students to take responsibility for their own learning and a more active role in and out of the classroom.
