Premises of Teaching

• There is no one right teaching style.
• Your teaching style is an extension of your personality, thus some techniques will appeal to you more than others.
• Teaching may appear easier and "more natural" for some than for others, but there are no "born teachers" who don’t need to improve or others who can never improve regardless of effort.
• Good teachers work at being good and are constantly looking for ways to improve.
• Not all techniques are effective in every setting, in every situation of the same setting, and with every group.
• A new approach should not be tried only because it is new, nor rejected for the same reason.

Teaching & Learning: Points to Consider

Effective teaching should be thought of as helping students learn, and every student encounter should be thought of as a student's opportunity for learning.

Foster a good learning atmosphere.

• Be serious without creating excessive tension.

Be prepared to have a flexible teaching plan in mind.
Be positive toward learners
Be confident (not arrogant)

Effective Questioning

Effective questioning is considered a vital component of education and an integral part of teaching in the teaching profession. Questioning can:

• clarify concepts

reinforce student understanding
arouse curiosity
emphasize key points
stimulate interest
promote higher order thinking in students.

The process of skillful questioning includes:

• establishing an appropriate environment by creating a climate that is conducive to learning

using the right mix of questions
accurately phrasing questions
allowing sufficient time for responses

Effective questioning can provide useful information about the knowledge and skills of each student. This information obtained through questioning can be used to provide feedback to students about their strengths and weaknesses. Questioning can also be useful in obtaining information about the effectiveness of the educational program. The information obtained from this questioning can be incorporated into the process of continuous quality improvement.
