CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
It is an accepted fact that teachers are usually not born but made. Good
teachers nurture their knowledge and skills through constant and deliberate
efforts. One of the prerequisite to be good teacher is to understand the teaching
learning process in more depth. This facilitates better appreciation of the teaching
profession as well as the process of imparting education. This paper is intended to
give an insight into the concept of teaching and learning for teachers who intend
to excel in their teaching career.
1.3 Purposes
1. Ability to identify and explain the nature of the course, the objective, the
general rules, the coverage of the materials, and the evaluating system.
2. Ability to explain the concepts of teaching and teaching methodology.

CHAPTER II
THEORIES
2.1 The Concept of Teaching
Melby (1994) also states that teaching is not merely dispensing subject or
lesson-having, but an art which involves the student in the teaching-learning
process where the student is given the chance to participate fully in the process –
that the teacher accepts each pupil and has a favourable attitude towards
individual differences. It is a relationship in which the teacher eschews sarcastic
statements, ridicule and fault-finding.
Thring, (2001) says pouring out knowledge is not teaching. Hearing lessons is
not teaching …… teaching is getting at the heart and mind so that the learner
values learning and to believe that learning is possible in his/her own case.
Smith (2004) sees teaching as the process of carrying out activities that
experience has shown to be effective in getting students to learn. He goes on to
say that teaching is that which results in learning – learning is the responsibility of
the teacher and that if students do not learn, it is the fault of the teacher. He
capped his statements on teaching by stating that teaching is undertaking certain
ethical tasks or activities, the intention of which is to induce learning.

Farrant (1980) simply defined teaching as a process that facilitates learning.
Frimpong (1990) defined teaching as the process whereby a teacher imparts
knowledge, skills, attitudes and values to a learner or group of learners in a way
that respects the intellectual integrity and capacity of the learners with the aim of
changing the behaviour of the learner(s)’. From this definition, one can say that
teaching involves not only how information gets from the teacher to the learner
but also how the learner (i) uses it, (ii) interacts with it, (iii) receives guidance (iv)
receives feedback.
• Time the various stages of a lesson so that each stage receives the desired
attention without exceeding the time limit of the lesson.
• Detect when his/her pupils/students are getting bored or restless so that s/he
can vary his/her approach or the stimulus.
• Use the experiences of his/her pupils/students to initiate as well as generate
further learning.
• Make judicious use of available resources in the teaching-learning process.
• Present what s/he teaches in an interesting way.
• Write orderly layout of summaries on the chalk/whiteboard.
• Express him/herself and illustrate his/her points clearly in the lesson
particularly in his/her explanation of content.
• Design suitable and adequate quantity of exercises and assignments for
his/her pupils, and insist on prompt tackling and submission.
• Use good or correct language in the teaching process.
• Correct and direct his/her pupils/students without making them feel
embarrassed or frustrated.
• Learning situations that will serve as challenges to his/her pupils/students.
• Select appropriate learning experiences of his/her pupils/students.
• Employ a variety of teaching methods and techniques within a lesson.

• Generate divergent thinking and creativity in his/her pupils/students
• Be able to achieve the objectives of his/her lessons.
• Use praise to urge his/her pupils to become eager to participate more in a
lesson.
• Study and become aware of the need of the individual pupils/students in
his/her class.
• Be able to assist his pupils/students to able to assess their own
performances.
• Maintain a reasonable balance between pupil-activity and teacher-activity as
dictated by the nature of the lesson

CHAPTER III
DISCUSSION
3.1 Main Phases in Teaching
3.1.1 Planning Phase (Pre-teaching Phase)
The decision on how to plan the lesson should be taken long time in
advance of the lesson. This is firstly, to allow the teacher enough time to read
around the topic to be taught, especially where the teacher’s command over
the subject/topic is weak, Secondly, to permit the collection of teaching-
learning resources and the preparation of other teaching learning resources
which could not be acquired commercially (Colin, 1969).
This phase requires the teacher to make decisions about the students’
needs, the most appropriate goals and objectives to help meet these needs, the
motivation necessary to attain their goals and objectives and the most
appropriate strategies for the attainment of those goals and objectives. The
planning decisions cover the pupils’ progress; the availability of resources;
equipment and materials; the time requirements of particular activities {Perrott
et al. (1977) cited in Perrott, 1982}. It is during this phase that the teacher
writes up his/her lesson plan.
This phase requires the teacher to implement the decisions made at the
planning stage, especially those related to teaching methods, strategies and
learning activities. The implementation function occurs when the teacher is
interacting with the students. In this phase, the teacher is expected `to exhibit
teaching skills such as presenting, explaining, listening, introducing,
demonstrating, eliciting responses and achieving closure. The implementation
phase has segments such as prime, presentation, summary, consolidation and
check learning through class exercise.
Prime Stage.

It is getting students into a state of readiness to learn. This may involve a
review of relevant previous learning and giving brief outline of the topic and
its structure and generating student interest by indicating the importance of
the topic as well as how it will be utilized. At the end of this stage, students
should be aware of what is expected of them, should want to learn and should
know how the subject/topic will be dealt with (Knott & Mutunga, 1993).
Presentation Stage.
This usually takes a greater part of the implementation phase. The main
body of the lesson is delivered in a systematic and logical manner. If the
teacher decides to use explanation, it should be aided by visual aids.
Summary.
At the end of the presentation stage, the topic should be summarized and
the main elements reviewed.
Consolidation/Recapitulation/Closure.
This stage is used to make students think hard about the topic and as a
result learn. The consolidation stage forces students to recall the information
and think it through with guidance from the teacher. The teacher can do this
through the following steps:
1) First pose some simple recall type questions on key elements of the
topic:
2) Then pose open-ended questions of a problem-solving type;
3) Pause to give students a chance to think;
4) Nominate at random a student to supply the answer;
5) Echo the response by using the students’ own words or
paraphrasing them.
When the nominated student gives an incorrect answer, the teacher should
refer it to another student or give clues to correct the original response. This
procedure should be repeated until all the main elements and key aspects of
8
the topic have emerged and the teacher should ensure this by distribution of
questions that as many students as possible make a contribution. Another
dimension to the consolidation stage, if time permits, is to give students the
opportunity to ask questions requiring clarification or elaboration (Knott &
Mutunga, 1993).
The last stage of the implementation phase is to ensure that students have
fully understood the lesson through a written test or assignment. This is done
by asking several questions requiring short, or one word answers on the main
points covered. These may be asked orally or shown on an Overhead
Projector (OHP) or written on the chalk or white board, but should always
require written answers. These should be marked there and then by each
student, either personally or through exchanging answer sheets with a
neighbour, whilst the teacher calls out answers and asks for results

knowledge and special skills too. The nature of the various subject areas as
formal academic disciplines, the objectives for teaching them, the
competencies they demand for their teaching and learning and the varied
methods and materials required for teaching and learning them, makes it
imperative for every teacher to possess a repertoire of knowledge, qualities,
attitudes and values. There are certain characteristics given by Shulman
(1987) that every professionally-trained teacher should possess. These include
content knowledge, general pedagogical knowledge, curriculum knowledge,
knowledge of learners and their characteristics, knowledge of educational
context/human relations, pedagogical content knowledge/teacher craft
knowledge and knowledge of educational ends.
In this part of the paper the role of the teacher is explained further so the
wheels to talk about methods of teaching can be set into motion, the role of
the teacher is never uniquely or specifically defined, so below are the curated
number of educationalists that has contributed their meanings. But according
to Muhammad Abdul Malik (2011), it is universally recognized that teacher is
a backbone of any educational system because knowledge is transferred from
the teachers to the taught.

or the expectations of others (pupils, students, parents, colleagues, school
leaders, society, etc)
There has been a change from the Traditional role to the Modern role in
the present context. The learning increases when the teacher builds on the
previous experience of the student. However, individual’s learning differs and
each individual learns at his or her own pace. Identifying the slow learners
and individual attention of the teacher may be required. Thus, effective
learning is to a great extent based on experiences. Direct experiences are
student centered and participation in problem solving. While in indirect
experience, the contents are carefully designed and organized by teacher.
Makovec (2018) said that the factors that influence the role of the teacher
are internal and external. Internal factors include those that influence a
teacher’s own perception of this or her role. External factors include the
views and expectations of the role of the teacher, which arise within other
stakeholders, such as pupils, parents, colleagues, school leaders, and the
public.
11
It has been concluded by researches and educators that there is no single
approach to teaching that is appropriate in all instructional settings. Effective
teaching requires a variety of strategies to accomplish different goals (Eggen
& Kauchack, 2001).
Even though most of the schools we know are using the traditional method
of teaching, nowadays teaching processes require conveying concepts,
models and abstractions, using strategies that aim to emphasize problem
solution. Both types of methods should be combined in the teaching process
by using various strategies to make students capable of resolving problems as
well as of thinking critically and working together.

opportunity for all’, and ‘politeness’. These deal with feelings and
emotions and are different from the examples in the other domains.
Affective learning occurs when these three domains are seen as
interdependent. Each of these domains should be developed as aprt of
teaching/learning session. Teachers should be able to define learning
objectives in each of them.

CHAPTER IV
FINALE
4.1 Conclusion
The paper gives insight into a few concepts of teaching and teaching
methodology, especially at the higher levels of education. Many countries make it
mandatory for teachers to undergo formal course on education principles where
the concepts of teaching and learning are taught. However, this exposure to
teachers is non-existent for professional teachers who enter into teaching
profession without any exposure to formal training in education. This sometimes
may act as a constraint in the process of effective teaching and learning process.
