Teaching: Teaching is a noble profession. It is an activity to impart knowledge. It is a way of developing certain desirable behaviors among students.

Teaching
is an activity. It is way to teach people discipline, to teach students discipline.
Role of teacher: Teachers play vital roles in the lives of the students in their classrooms. Teachers are best known for the role of educating the students that
are placed in their care. Beyond that, teachers serve many other roles in the classroom. Teachers set the tone of their classrooms, build a warm environment,
mentor and nurture students, become role models, and listen and look for signs of trouble. In other words, the teacher helps to cultivate an environment that
is conducive to self-directed learning, and provides assistance for individuals and groups of learners.
Professional characteristics: Effective teachers appear again and again to display certain characteristics, while ineffective teachers tend to make the same
mistakes repeatedly. Below is a look at some of the things more effective teachers tend to do right and less effective teachers tend to do wrong.
The concepts of Teaching method: Why can’t everyone be taught the same way? Well, why can’t you learn something the same way as your partner or next
door neighbor? Everybody learns different ideas at different times at different paces. Some people can learn something on the first try after being told what
to do whereas others might need to have hands-on experience in order to learn and possibly repeat it a few times to really get the hang of things. Different
teaching styles are necessary because the students need to be able to learn what the teacher is teaching. However, the choice of teaching styles used can also
depend on the school mission statement, the classroom demographics, the educational philosophy of the teacher, and most importantly, the subject area.
A lesson plan is a teacher's detailed description of the course of instruction or "learning trajectory" for a lesson. A daily lesson plan is developed by a teacher
to guide class learning. Details will vary depending on the preference of the teacher, subject being covered, and the needs of the students.
The need / Effective for lp: A lesson plan is a lesson “project” written down on paper. It is only a “project” because a lot of unpredictable events occur in the
classroom. It is also a dreaded part of instruction that most teachers detest. It nevertheless provides a guide for managing the learning environment. As one
of the teacher’s roles is that of designer and implementer of instruction, the preparation of lesson plan will ensure the organization of the lesson according to
some criteria. Regardless of the format, all teachers need to make wise decisions about the strategies and methods they will employ to help students move
systematically toward learner goals. The more organized a teacher is, the more effective the teaching, and thus the learning, is. Writing daily lesson plans is a
large part of being organized.
Deductive method A deductive approach to instruction is a more teacher-centered approach. This means that the teacher gives the students a new concept,
explains it, and then has the students practice using the concept. Inductive method In contrast with the deductive method, inductive instruction makes use of
student “noticing”. Instead of explaining a given concept and following this explanation with examples, the teacher presents students with many examples
showing how the concept is used. The intent is for students to “notice”, by way of the examples, how the concept works. Scientific method Science is an
attitude basically. Its method cannot be defined on skill level. It is a step by step process which guides towards inquiry. Very often we say that we must research.
Problem solving is very useful learner centered teaching and learning strategy. Good teachers are those who help children to learn. Children learn a lot from
this method. PBL is designed primarily to help students develop their thinking, problem solving and intellectual skills and they actually learn through
autonomous learners opportunity. Activity method is a technique adopted by a teacher to emphasize his or her method of teaching through activity in which
the students participate rigorously and bring about efficient learning experiences. It is a child-centered approach. It is a method in which the child is actively
involved in participating mentally and physically. Learning by doing is the main focus in this method. Learning by doing is imperative in successful learning since
it is well proved that more the senses are stimulated, more a person learns and longer he/she retains. Research Project: Scientific method is often used in
research. In research, you actually raise some questions and try to answer those questions whose answers are not there. Teachers can ask the students to
conduct researches at very lower levels. The findings of those researches or the outcome may be used by other people. Discussion methods are a variety of
forums for open-ended, collaborative exchange of ideas among a teacher and students or among students for the purpose of furthering students thinking,
learning, problem solving, understanding, or literary appreciation. Participants present multiple points of view, respond to the ideas of others, and reflect on
their own ideas in an effort to build their knowledge, understanding, or interpretation of the matter at hand.

Practicing in answering the question ( No  )

Do not answer your own questions. Give students 5-10 seconds to think and formulate a response. If 10-15 seconds pass without anyone volunteering an
answer and the students are giving you puzzled looks, rephrase your question. Do not give in to the temptation to answer your own questions, which will
condition students to hesitate before answering to see if you will supply “the answer.” Patience is key; do not be afraid of silence. The longer you wait for
students to respond, the more thoughtful and complex their responses are likely to be.
Show respect for all questions and comments. Listen carefully. Thank students for their contributions. Point out what is valuable about your students’
arguments, whether or not you agree with them. Develop helpful responses to incorrect answers or comments that are not sufficiently related to the issue
currently being discussed. Take students’ ideas seriously: help them clarify their thinking by asking them to provide evidence for their arguments and to respond
to ideas and arguments offered by other students.
Motivation: It is a driving force which helps someone to perform a task. So, motivation can be named as a force which keeps the person moving on.
 The concept of human motivation is defined as the processes within individuals that arouse them to action. It is what gets individuals “moving”
towards specified activities and tasks.
It is a complex process which is made up of different processes. These are processes which helps the person to act.
Intrinsic motivation involves engaging in a behavior because it is personally rewarding; essentially, performing an activity for its own sake rather than the
desire for some external reward. Extrinsic motivation occurs when we are motivated to perform a behavior or engage in an activity to earn a reward or avoid
punishment. Reinforcement theory emphasizes the importance of individuals responding to environmental events and extrinsic reinforcements.
Environmental factors are important to reinforce certain behaviour. E.g. if you want to reinforce a behaviour among your students that they must do their
homework. You can reinforce this behavior among students by giving them rewards. Needs theory There are several different need theories. In general, these
theories hold that individuals strive to satisfy internal needs such as self-fulfillment, achievement, affiliation, influence, and self-determination. Cognition
means to know or to proceed. Cognitive theories do not address much about motivation. Social learning theory hypothesizes that individual’s actions are
influenced by the value particular goals hold for them and their expectations for success. These theories help us to understand how modeling and
reinforcement work in a social context. Important sources for motivation for social learning theorists include learner expectations and personal goals.
Cooperative learning is a successful teaching strategy in which small teams, each with students of different levels of ability, use a variety of learning activities
to improve their understanding of a subject. Each member of a team is responsible not only for learning what is taught but also for helping teammates learn,
thus creating an atmosphere of achievement. Purpose of teaching tools is to get things done easily, swiftly and quickly. So, teaching tools means that all those
things which help the teacher in planning instruction and ensure students learning. The most important teaching tool or teaching resource is the teacher
himself. The tool which is mostly present in every classroom is textbook.
